When The great writer Carlyle was
engaged to Miss Welsh the latter in
duced her mother TO consent that Car
lyle should live with both of them and
share the advantage of an established
house and income. But Carlyle an
swered Miss WelSh's proposal by say
ing that two households could not live
as if they were one and that he would
never have amy right enjoyment of his
wife's company till she was "all his
own" adding that the moment he was
master OF house the first use he
would make of 1t would be to slam the
door against nauseous intruders.

POVERTY IN EGYPT.
II Often Drives Parents to Sell Their
Children as Slaves.

Children as slaves.
In the whole land of Egypt there are
now only two cities. Alexandria and,
Cairo. Yet once Egypt was the grand
est country of the world. having as
many as 200 cities, but these have been
all long swept away or covered with
the sand OF the desert.
In these two cities, Alexandria and
Cairo, all the principal people of Egypt
reside. while in the country districts up
the Nile there are no towns and hardly
any villages. but only scattered settle
ments of peasants, who are called fell
labs or fellahin.
These fellahs, though of the same
Arab race and religion rs the people or
Cairo, are very different in most other
ways. Instead of the turban, the flow
ing robe and the gay slippers. which
the men OF the city wear we see only
a half clad figure with matted hair and
skin blackened by the sun; instead OF
the yelled lady In robe OF silk, here Is

dress woven OF grass. one thing, how
ever both use in common--a bracelet.
The fellahs of upper Egypt are very
numerous, but they are all very poor.
Their houses are mud huts, used only
to sleep IN, as they are in the open air
most OF the day. Their food consists
chiefly of vegetables. which they eat
uncooked. such as maize, melons,
gourds. beans, lentils and dates; those
that have a COW can get milk. and all
can get fish. Meat they seldom taste,
and their bread is only a half baked
paste of bruised maize or millet. Rice
is too dear for them. One luxury, how
ever, all the men-and women. too
manage to get whatever else they go
without-that is, tie ever present long
wooden tobacco pipe, smoking.
The poverty Of many fellahs is so
great that a family of children Is often

cases yearly occur of parents selling
their children as slaves TO escape from

WAR AND COMMERCE.

The remarkable effects of the war on
the foreign commerce of this country
are shown by some facts recently pub
lished by the Department of Commerce.
The value of the imports during March
amounted to little over two hundred
million dollars (2l3, $50, 1857, an increase
of nearly sixty millions $3.50, COZ, 1861,
over that of the same month last year.
During the nine months ending with
March the value of the imports was a
little over billion and a half dollars,
Isl, 500, Ga, 7lS) an increase of nearly
three hundred million, 1921, 00l ,075).
The value of our exports last March was
a little over four hundred million dollars
tS4ll, 476, 638) an increase of little
over one hundred million, $l14,8 1867
over the exports of March of 1915.
The total value of the exports during
the nine months ending in March was
almost exactly three billion dollars
($2, 997, l72,4 72). As compared with the
exports of the nine months ending with
March of last year, there is a gain of
over one billion dollars Isl, O66, O94, 6O3).
This extraordinary gain was due almost
wholly to the export of our manu-
features. 1t will be of interest to
mauy that during the nine months from
July to April horses were exported
valued at over sixty million dollars

HUGHES NO GERMAN.

The latest scheme to side-track the
movement toward Justice Hughes is to
make him out acceptable to Pro-Ger-
mans and other hyphenates. Inter
views have appeared in some of the
city papers in which men of active
German sympathy pronounce in favor
of Mr.. Hughes. This is taking unfair
advantage of the compulsion to silence
which rests upon judicial officer. 1t
will deceive no one who knows the
character of Mr.. Hughes or who has
followed his public career. He is an
American through and through. AS
Governor of New York he fought one of
the most notable political battles on
record for representative government
and the adaptation of political machinery
to the principles of the American con-
stitution. His addresses at our Cham
plain celebration rang clear with vigor-

POSTAL SAVINGS.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post office.
This is made possible by an important
amendment to the postal savings act
just approved by President Wilson. A
postal savings depositor may now have
an account amounting to 81 900 upon
which interest will be paid. Formerly
$500 was the maximum amount he could
have to his credit Another feature of
the amendment that will avoid further
embarrassment to the public and to
postal officials is the doing away with
the limit on the amount that could be
accepted from a depositor monthly.
Under the old law only 500 could be
deposited in calendar month While
the postal savings system has already
proved a signal success as is shown by
the fact that more than half-a- million
depositors have over eighty million
dollars standing to their credit, still it
has fallen short of meeting the full de-
mands of the public because of the re-
strictions which have now been eimi-
mated.
