About the Pullman.

After the long night of sleeping and
humping, you get up and hasten to the
Mushroom for the hurry-up cleanup,
only to find that the man who talks
loud In the smoker has beaten you to
II. He has evidently talked all night
so as to be back on the job before any
one else.
He has received a travelling case as
present from an admiring friend or
wife, and he is busily using II. His
bag ls deposited on a seat, his coat and
vest are on hook. his collar and tie
on another one. His travelling case
takes up the space of one OF the birds

brstles off while the train rounds cor

with no apparent reason.
You are lucky If only one man has n
case-generally there are two--and by
the time the train has reached It's desti-
nation and the porter announces that
there will be five mlnutes allowed to
clear the coach, you have been able to
worm yourself between the shavers
and their outfits and apply sufficient
water to relieve the strain until you
are able to get to your own blessed
sanctum-and can spread out over
things yourself.--Detroit Free Press.

IS THE "NEW YORK; OF EGYPT
ing the Flags Of Every Nation
in the World.

There are few cities that can look
back to East like chat of Alexandria.
and fewer still With such a past that
can contrive to keep up with the times
and look forward to the future. The
relics of % dead centuries Of Alex
andrian history have to be looked for
In the guide books. In the city itself
they are covered up by the latest mod
ern improvements. A few erudite Al
exandrians may argue about the real
nationality of Cleopatra. but most of
them are talking about cotton prices
and the latest project for dredging the
harbor.
Cairo has been called the Washing
ton of Egypt. 1t Is the seat of gov
eminent, the city where diplomacy and
politics abound. If Cairo is Washing
ton, Alexandria is New York. 1t Is
the great port Of entry for all Egypt.
Every flag In the world floats on the
ships behind the breakwater. Every
tongue In the world is heard on the
crowded streets. The past may have
been glorious, but the present Is con-
slderably closer and more vital. There
fore, let us see about floating an is
sue of paving bonds and get that string
Of street lamps up.
This Is the attitude of the typical
modern Alexandrian. If he belongs
to the educated classes he has an en-
tirely adequate acquaintance with the
history of his city; but neither he nor
his city Is interested In history. They
are both primarily commercial. Yet
to the visitor the past must outweigh
the present. Alexandria today Is, af-
ter all, no more than weak imita-
ton of Liverpool or Hamburg. Alex
andria In the past was the heart and
the turning point Of events that de-
termined the history of the world.
From the lighthouse on the Pharos
--llneal descendant Of the first light
house In the world-up the harbor and
through to the Nile, Alexandria and
the country around about are full of
memories of the conqueror who found
ed the city, of the Romans who con-
quered 1t, of the Pharaohs who lent
1t their patronage, of Cleopatra the
queen, who lost 1t, of the victorious
Mohammedans who swept through 1t
and destroyed the greatest library the
world has ever seen. Alexandria's
present, with Its paving and its street
lamps, fades into hsignificance. 1t is
nothing but. commercial sideshow.
