The philosophy of the modern boot
logger is illustrated in a story now
going the rounds in Washington-a
story which has carried an appeal to
some of the highest officials of the
government.
1t seems that a regular customer"
called up his own particular bootlegger
a night or two ago and asked him what
he had in stock.
"Well," replied the b. L., 81 have
some Scotch, some rye, some bourbon,

"EIave you any absinthe?' inquired

"H-ll, no. man." came back in an

to sell absinthe."

AMUSING TO WOMEN TODAY
What Was Considered Proper In Mid
Victorian Days Seems Some
what Ridiculous Now.

In a book written in mid-Victorian
days concerning the proper manners
of well-bred women appears the state
ment that woman with graying hair
Is "hardly respectable without cap"
and that the woman of thirty-five who
does not don the cap as signal OF the
fact of her advanced age has some
thing of masculine aspect"
Such statements are amusing and
sometimes just little annoying-es-
pecially to the woman of thirty-fve.
She consoles herself with the fact that
times have changed enormously since
those days and that now so long as
woman Is slender enough to wear
clothes selected by eighteenyear-old
girls she is seldom criticized for
wearing them.
But don't delude yourself into think
ing that all women of thirty-five In mid
Victorian days donned the cap of old
age Empress Eugene wasn't married
until she was twenty-seven, and she
continued to be regarded as one OF
the most charming and beautiful wom-
en- In Europe for many years.
1t Is really no new thing for women
of thirty-five, forty or over to retain
their youthful charms and change very
little their mode of dress or behavior
as time goes on. Possibly our present
mode of life, our athletics, our style
of clothes, tend more to the retaining
of youthful appearance and real
youthfulness than did conditions Of
the Nineteenth century.

EGYPT UNDER BRITISH RULE
Population of Nearly Thirteen Million
Is Decidedly Cosmopolitan In
Its Character.

Egypt Is a country exceeding In
actual extent France and Germany.
Its area is some 424,OOO square miles,
but of this total more than SO per
cent is desert land supporting emily a
very scanty nomad population. The
important part of the country, con-
sisting of the valley and delta of the
Nile together with the western GASES,
covers an area of 1925 square miles,
or territory only a little larger than
Belgium. In addition, some 1850
square miles comprise the surface of
the Nile, marshes and lakes while
canals, roads and date plantations
cover another 1900 square miles.
Egypt, therefore, is a small country
with well-defined natural boundaries
on three sides, namely, the Medlter
fanean on the north the Arabian
and the Libyan desert on the west.
To the south Egypt extends up to
point 25 miles north of Wadi Halfa,
on the second cataract Of the Nile.
The present population Of Egypt is
~, 746,765, as compared with 1887
859 in 1907, with 1874, 4O5 in 1897,
and with 1881, 131 in 1882. OF the
total population 1O,366,O46 are Egyp-
tians, 635,012 Bedouins, e5,1O2 Nu-
bians, and 22L130 foreigners made up
as follows: Turks, 69,725;N Greeks,
81 1878; Italians, 34926; British, 90
653; French and Tunisians, 1851
Austro- Hungarians, 1904; Russians
2,410; Germans, 1,847; other Euro
peans, ZIG; and Persians, 1885.

Paris beauty doctors are now spe-

legs. Two specialists in Rue de la
Palx are whining fame by reducing
the size of women's ankles and in
creasing the size of the calf. They
have not, as yet, found a way to take

the ladies of society there are hoping
