Egypt Is a country exceeding In
actual extent France and Germany.
Its area Is some $4,000 square miles,
but Of this total more than 90 per

Belgium. In addition, some 1850
square miles comprise the surface Of
the Nile, marshes and lakes, while
canals, roads and date plantations

Egypt, therefore, Is small country
with welldefined natural boundaries
on three sides. namely, the Mediter-
ranenn OH the north the Arabian
desert and the Red sea on the east,
and the Libyan desert on the west.
TO the south Egypt extends up to
point 25 miles north Of Wadl Halfa,
on the second cataract Of the Nile.
The present population Of Egypt Is
12,746,7G5, as compared with 11,2S7,-
300 in 1907, with 9,734,4 ,4O5 in 1897,

TO CUT AUSTRALIAN ESTATES
Measure Almost SoclaIistlc In charae-
tor is Approved by Most OF the
Landhoders.

Large Australian estates may have
to be subdlvided, according to the
Sydney correspondent Of London pa
per.
The new South Wales government
Is reintroducing a lurge holding sub
division bill, compelling owners to
subdlvide for closer settlement any
land exceeding 100000 in value. If,
for instance, the owner of, land worth
$25O,OOO refuses to subdiyide it the
government will compulsorily acquire
$150.00O worth and make it available
for closer settlement.
The intention Is to pay immediate
cash or current rates Of interest to
the owners. The measure which ls
approved by most Australian individ-
ual landholders, but bitterly opposed
by big land companies with headquar-
ters In England, will have the effect
Of opening for cultivation large areas
now utilized as sheep runs. Thus 1t
will afford an opportunity for an In
creased agricultural population and
scope for immigrants.
1t Is designed to mitigate the ex-
listing serious unrest arising out Of the
inability 10 provide Australian agricul-
turists with land. These people are
being driven to the cities to swell the
ranks Of the unemployed, making dam
gerous centers Of discomfort.

AND THEY SLEPT upstairs"
Childish Prank Not SO Enjoyable az
Youngsters Imagined It Was
Going to 30.

An indianapolis woman Is fond of
telling story about her glrlhood
days. There were several children In
the family and they went to school
with other children, perhaps q trihe
better off as to this worlds goods
than they were. AT any rate, the
other children were always talking
about their upstairs. And there
was no upstairs to the cottage where
the indianapolis womnn's family lived
1t was only u cottage. But Children
like, they had to be able to say with
cool diSdain when they went to
school: "Why, upstairs where we
sleep"
So when mother went downtown
one day these small children labor
iously took their little bed apart and
carried 1t up the narrow, steep dark
stairs that led to the attic. Then they
carried up the bedclothes; then their
little chairs. They were indeed, going
to sleep upstairs.
When mother came home she found
out what had happened. She
climbed the attic stairs, and there
amid the dust and dirt and whntnots
and cobwebs were the two beds.
So just to punish the children for
their disobedlence mother made them
sleep up there few nights in the
hot weather, until they were glad
they had no upstairs"
