LAND BLESSED BY NATURE
Inhabitants of Small Italian Fishing
Village Are Among the Fortu-
nate of the Earth.

One Of the oldest and quaintest lit

listed in Europe-the tiny Republic OF
Noli, founded before Rome and main

until Napoleon swept away it's priv
ileges-ls today merely fishing vii
lage near Genoa, but it is full of re-
minders of its former greatness, and
affords a wonderful glimpse Of medic
val times Destroyed by the Cartha-
ginians in 217 B. c., and who knows
how often by subsequent marauders,
there seemed no limit to her powers
of recovery. This quaint little fishing
village maintained itself as SOW
ereign state for centuries, took a prom
inent part in the quarrels of Guelphs
and Ghibellines, sent doughty warriors
to the Crusades, commanded the In
terest of emperors and popes, and
only succumbed at last to the armies
of Napoleon. Dante clambered hither
over terrible hills on hands and
knees, and revenged himself by con-
signing Noli to his "Purgatory."

Quite a Good Joke.

Whats the matter. Raggers?" said
Smith to the man who was kicking
himself.
Matter" echoed Raggers oh!
only a little joke played-just a
funny joke!"
What was it?'
well, you know Jones? lent him
five dollars about year ago, and
simply couldn't get him to pay it back.
Then last week heard he had debt
collecting agency, SO | thought it
would be good joke to write asking
him to collect the money he owes me. j"
"Well?"
Now I've just had letter from him
to say that the five dollars he owes
me has been collected. and his fee 10
ten dollars"

InuersolPs Tribute to Women.

Ingersoll paid the following tribute
to women in his lecture on Shakes
peare: I'm those days little attention
was given to the biographies Of wom-
en-. They were born, married, had
children and died No matter how
celebrated their sons became, the
mothers were forgotten. In old times,
when man achieved distinction,
great pains were taken to find out
about his father and grandfather, the
idea being that genius is inherited
from the fathers side. The truth is
that all great men have had great
mothara"

where these products retail as fancy
fresh eggs. This large yearly turn
over gives Egypt an intimate relation
ship with the Englishman's breakfast
table.
Dinocrates Of Rhodes, architect and
friend to the famous Macedonian, laid
out Alexandria. He planned the city
as an affair of right angles and sharp
corners, including the whole in a
parallelogram quadrisected by two
main thoroughfares. This regularity
of city-plan that Dinocrates developed
was the beginning of the school Of
gridiron city-building, of the imper-
sonal, strictly business city only now
waning in popularity.
battle-ground Of West and East.
The exotic Grecian city was bat
tleground from the start. The East
and the West met and fought out their
differences to finish there. Greek
learning and Greek philosophy found
refuge in Alexandria, and there an
tagonized and finally blended with the
PHILOSOPHERS of the East. Christianity
and Paganism fought some of their
most bitter battles there; and the
Jews, the Christians, the Pantheists
and the philosophers fomented many
bloody riots, in which tie tickle, vio-
lent loot -hungry Alexandrian mob

ragged in unforgettable religious tu-
mults. In one such tumult the sur
passingly beautiful pagan priestess
Hypatia was torn to pieces to glut q
british populace.
The famous Alexandrian library was
the bridge between the culture OF
classic Greece and the cultural needs
of early Christian and Mohammedan
Europe. Much of it's treasures filtered
through to the Moor and to the Chris
tians through the scholarship Of Rome.
The library was destroyed in the war
flood which followed the rise of the re-
ligion from the desert; and the burn
ing of the great book-treasury has
been keenly deplored by scholars OF
each generation succeeding.
In the latter years of the eighteenth
century the city was held by the
French. 1t had sunk to the status OF
small village under centuries of Mo-
hammedan misrule, having popula-
ton of less than 1000. Under Mo-
hamet Ali, the wise and cunning Al
bantam, it regained much of Its pros
perity. English control of the city's
as we'll as Egypt's welfare dates from
| 1882, since which date new city has
| been developed and one that bears a
greater degree of relationship to the
| West than to the East.

A LEXANDER THE GREAT, like
~ an erratic meteor, flashed
across the browse of civiliza-

tion-weary Egypt; and, per.
haps as memorial of his dedication
in the land of the Pharaohs, he left
behind him the beginnings of vigor-
GUS Greek city, Alexandria, destined
to be the gateway for flow of west
ern rejuvenation to the worn valley,
and today, with ConstantinopIe and a
few other places, one of the greatest
prizes for the contesting army mil
lions in the East, says National Geo..
graphic society bulletin. Alexander
built his city in 1872 B. C. upon the
ruins of an Egyptian town, Rhacotis.
After more than 1000 years Alexan-
dria has become the life of Egypt, it's
largest port, one of the busiest ports
on the Mediterranean and an impor-
tant world-city
The modern city is divided into two
parts, one of which, inhabited by Mo-
hammedans, is listless tangle of ORR
inviting buildings, while the other, the
European quarter, is solidly built and
possesses many OF the essential con-
veniences of the American or Euro
pean metropolis. It occupies ridge
of land between the Mediterranean
and Lake Mareotis. The Rosetta
mouth of the Nile lies more than thirty
miles to the east Cairo, the interior
metropolis, lies 1923 miles by rail to
the southeast, and the Suez canal ia
more than 40 miles to the east. The
city is linked by network of railway
and telegraph lines to the other towns
of Egypt, and Is in telephone connec-
ton with Cairo.
Business City Of Nile Valley.
Alexandria is the counting house
and the commission office of the Nile
valley. The British chamber of com.
MERGE has It's headquarters there, and
there, too, are located the head Offices
of many of the largest commercial or.
CARNATIONS doing business in the near
East The value of the city's trade
in normal times, is about $24O,00O,0
a year. The western harbor designed
for modern, frst-rank commerce, is
visited annually by 5000 vessels. The
chief articles of export are grain, cot
ton, beans. sugar and rice, and the
business Is largely in the hands of
Europeans, of whom there are $4,000
in the total population of 100000. The
city is connected by cable lines with
Cyprus, Malta, Crete and Port Said
One of the interesting phases OF Alex
andria's commerce Is that it sends &c.,
100000 eggs each year to London,

John Lancaster thought Helen

that he had ever seen. 1t was his

he had only left Harvard two years,
and here he was dining with Jim

that you were the only man who could

any man to master that mass of sta

John Lancaster was not insensible
to the fattery, and Wade had irtend

blow to us. But when we considered

not rare for the 120 boats to earn
$500 pounds in a night, or G15,000

that we can find another man and

think is going to employ you with
