be styled a milleyner, and her product

buoyantly with the long manuscript

In the basket at the side Of his desk

Well, Bah decided hastily, she would

street clothes and with fearful haste
crammed some things into her travel

To Protect Christian Missions.

The new political status of Egypt
carries with it certain provisos whose
exact limits are not yet defined, but
whose general character and scope are
known. The first proviso, however,
seems to insure the permanency of the
Christian missionary work. Under the
new constitution all religions are free
and are protected by the state, in so
far as they do not interfere with pub
lie order or morals. All Egyptian citi-
zens are declared equal before the law
and all are eligible for public offices
and honors.
This situation presents to all of the
Christian missionary work in Egypt an
unusual opportunity. The Christian
educational work is especially face TO
face with a challenge seldom equaled-

Yukon Timber IN Demand.

For all the timber produced in the
Yukon there is local demand, so that
there is no export. During the great
rush OF mines in 1898 there was a
pressing demand for lumber for the
building Of houses, sluice boxes and the
other equipment Of mining camps
Sawmills were established at Dawson,
Serffrk and Whitehorse. Large guam.
titles of wood were required for fuel,
and that demand continues. Mining
also still calls for large quantities Of
timber for shafts and tunnels.
