The Baltic Fleet
A telegram from Djibouti this morning announces that Admiral Foelkersahm's
squadron is preparing to leave that port in order to join the other portion
of the fleet at Madagascar. Now it is worthy of notice that Admiral
Rojestvensky's last "jumping-off" place for the Far East, after his trying
journey round the cape, will be Madagascar, which, be it noted, is a French
Possession. It is to be sincerely hoped, for the sake of the peace of
Europe, that the French Govern,ent will not fail to observe the laws of
neutrality most strictly at this point, and that they wull not permit
Antongil bay to be used by the Russian Fleet for the puspose of coaling or
refitting. Otherwise there is likely to be trouble. Before very long matters
are likely to become somewhat lively dwn Singapore way. It is probable that
Togo will as soon as possible send his destroyres down to the Strait of
Malacca, and the Strait of Sunda, his cruisers following; and his
battleships to another rendevous. At the same time, a sufficient numner will
be retained up north for watching Vladi vostok. Togo is certain also to pay
particular attention to any colliers attending the fleet, and to use as far
as possible his enemy's supply of fuel. In this connection it must be
remembered that the coal capacity of the Russian battleships is a large one,
and they are not likely to let their colliers run the risk of passing
through the Straits with them, the last coaling being carried out west of
Sumatra and south of Batavia. Whether Rodjestvensky intends to join up his
forces or to disperse them it is imporrible, as yet, to foresee; and indeed,
the choice of action will not rest entirely in the hands of the Russian
Admiral. It is hardly likely that the division passing round Africa
LONDON, December 10. The Admiralty announce an important reorganisation in the Navy with the object of remedying certain defects of mobilisation. The Home Fleet will in future be called the Channel Fleet. It is to become the senior command in the Navy, and will consist of 12 battleships, with a proportionate number of cruisers. The I present Channel Fleet is in future to be known as the Atlantic Fleet, with a base at Gibraltar.
It will consist of eight battleships, and a pro| portionate number of cruisers. The other squadrons are to be divided into three groups; the Eastern consisting of China, Australia, and the East Indies; the Western consisting of North America, and the West Indies; the third group will be the Cape Fleet, forming a connecting link with the others. There are to be three cruiser squadrons—one each in the Channel, Atlantic, and Mediterranean-detachable for special cruises.
Henceforth the entire Reserve Fleet will remain constantly commissioned and ready for immediate service. It will exercise -at sea periodically. There will be maneuvers in 1905 and 1906 for the navy throughout the world. It will be assumed that war has broken out, and that all the reserves are mobilising and proceeding under their Rear-Admirals to rein. force the fleets to which they are affiliated. l'he flag-officers everywhere will have to act on their own initiative in arranging for mutual co-operation. References to the Admiralty will be forbidden.
(Reuter.)
LONDON, December 11. The Admiralty has circularised to the commanding officers explaining the changes, which will come into force on the 1st January. The fleet will be divided in time of peace into a fleet in commission at sea, and a fleet in commission in reserve. As all commissions are for two years and a half, the fleet in commission at sea will be relieved annually. Twelve battleships and cruisers, kept in home ports, will be commissioned in case of emergencies, indepen. dent of the general mobilisation. (Reuter.)

REICHSTAG- During the debate on the war budget, the Socialists opposed the increase of the army on the ground that Russia was crippled.
They renewed their charged against the government of partiality towards
Russia in the present war. Count von Bulow deprecated being guided by
sentimental views in delicate questions of international policy. Such an
incluence caused people to take a wrong-road in the South African war.
He asserted Germany's complete neutrality, and ridiculed the suggestion
that there was a secret treaty between Russia and Germany. The more the
Press and the Socialists attacked Russia, the more he must exert himself
to keep the relations with Russia peaceful and friendly. It is
impossible to ignore the fact that there exist in Europe undercurrents
leading towards warlike complications, but Germany now- as in the
past-is the bulwark of peace, though solely because of her strength (reuter).

After an illness of some weeks' duration, pleurisy supervened. This was followed by a very malignant form of small-pox, to which he succumbed. Yousbashi Armstrong has been in the Coast Guards Administration for about six years. His death will be deeply regretted by a large circle of friends, as he was very popular.

The eleventh edition of Lord Milner's "England in Egypt" has just appeared. The novel feature of this edition is Sir Eldon Gorst's sketch of the latest stage in Egyptian progress, which bring the history of England in absolutely up to date, and is entitled "Egypt in 1904." The qualifications of Sir Eldon for such a task are exceptional, and this interesting addition to this Baedeker to political Egypt will be found in every respect worthy of the pen of the late Financial Adviser to the Khedive. The general merits of the work are too well known in this country to need any commendation from us, and the apprencides of Sir Clinton Dawkins and Sir Eldon Gorst bring it as far as the present year. No inhabitant of Wgypt who takes an intellectual interest in its affairs, and has an acquaintance with our language, should neglect to procure this work, which is published in a conveinently handy form and at a moderate price.

The WInter Horticultural Show held at Ghezirch on Staurday and Sunday was a thorough success. Bright, if somewhat windy, weather prevailed, the exhibits reached a very high standard, and Cairo society was there in large numbers. Among those present we noticed H.H. Prince Hussein Pasha Kamel, the Earl and Countess of Cromer, Abani Pasha and several of the ministers, the Italian Minister and Marchessa Salvago-Raggi, M. Maximoff, M. Maskens, the Hon F.H. Morgan and Miss Morgan, M. Lecomte, Mr. P. Machell, Yacoub Pasha Artin, Mr. Courtenay Clifton and Mrs. Clifton, Dr. and Mrs. Keatinge, Milhem Bey Chakour and Miss Chakour, M. and Mme. George Nungovich Bey, Dr. Harold Nolan and Mrs. Nolan, Dr. and Mrs. Symmers, Dr. and Mrs.. Elliot-Smith, Mr. Carton del Wiart, Dr. and Mrs. Mackenzie, Mr. A.J. Cotterill and Mrs. Cotterill, and many others.
The roses were a great feature of the shpw. For two years in succession there had been no exhibit of roses owing to the want of suffiicient competitirs, and the fine show of flowers, many of them exquisitely becutiful in form and colour, was very gratifying after previous failures. The vegetables also deserve special notice. SPecial encouragement had been given to nurserymen to produce early vegetables for the market, and the results were exceptionally good. The palms and decorative plants in the central hall lent by Prince Hussein Pasha Kamel added greatly to the beauty of the exhibition, and we much not forget the beautiful cut roses exhibited by the President of the K.A.S. but not competing.

"Carro" v. "THE PROVINCES." A Rugby football match between "Cairo" and "The Provinces" was played on Saturday last at Ghezireh, and provided a great deal of Amusement to onlookers, though we fancy that| the players found the ground unpleasantly hard. Cairo led at half-time by 2 tries to 1, and afterwards, aided by the fact that one of the opposing half-backs, who had scored after a fine run, was "crocked,” they won comfortably. The Provinces were handicapped by the difficulty of raising a full team, some of their best players being called away from Cairo on Saturday morning.
It is proposed to hold a Billiard Tournament at the Turf Club, Cairo, shortly.
A soccer match between the Port-Saïd team and the Arab schools was played at Port-Said on Saturday afternoon, when an interesting game resulted in a win for the English team by 3 goals, which were scored by Messrs. Doyle Wallis and R. Howe, to nil. It was noticed that the form of the Arab schools had much improved since last match, mainly due to continued practice.

(BY AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT).
Having asked for an interview with the Khedive's brother, on hearing of his having accomplished a long and interesting trip through several countries of the Continent during his recent visit to Europe, the Prince most kindly accorded me this 'honour and I called on his Highness a few days ago. The Prince, who speaks French and English fluently, was most gracious, and seated in the beauti ful garden of his palace, situated opposite the Savoy Hotel, I passed a very agreeable hour whilst his Highness gave me an account of his excursion.
"Accompanied by my private secretary and two European friends," began the Prince, "we left Paris one lovely morning in July in a motor car of the same type and make as that of the Empress Eugenie, on our way to Geneva, travelling at an easy pace and stopping at several places between the two cities. We stopped three days at Geneva, and the time was pleasantly spent in taking drives in the beautiful neighbourhood of that delightful place, including an •Ascent of Mont Salèves, buried in eternal snows.
"From Geneva we proceeded to Chamounix and thence to 'Thonon, on Lake Leman, and passing Evicius-les-Bains, & favorite resort of the Khedive, we went on to Bex. Here again we made another three days' stay and during that time we drove to Viege (or Visp) an old world village 2,160 feet above sea level and picturesquely placed at the mouth of the Visp Valley. From Bex we retraced our steps to Aigle, another summer resort in the Ormont Valley, near the Rhane of lake of Geneva. At Aigle, I may say, commenced the most beautiful part of the whole of our trip over the fine mountain road and amidst magnificent scenery we passed on to Château D'Oex,& quiet pastoral straggling village of between 2,000 and 3,000 inhabitants. From this enchanting spot we proceeded over the Zwey Saanen pags to Interlaken, leaving the railway at Zweyzimmen and passing several very pretty vil. | lages on our way to Lakes Thum and Brienz between which Interlaken lies. Our party made up its mind to stop here for 15 days,and spend the fortnight in making daily excursions over all the mountain districts in the vicinity. Of all the ascents we made during our entire trip the most difficult was that to St. Beatenberg, the turnings being very sharp and the road very narrow for so big a motor as ours was. This small place, perched high up amongst the mountains, nearly 4,000 feet above the sea, is a fairy-like spot and favorite Alpine health resort on the north side of Lake Thum. | After visiting every part of the neighbourhood we went to Lucerne, over the Brunnen Pags. We rattled through Lucerne without stopping, and went on to a neighbouring village for luncheon and thence on to Brunnen, at the other end of the lake, by the lovely road or the Achsentrasse. Breaking our trip at Brunnen we made trips as far as Göschenen, on the great St. Gothard Pass, and returning to Brunnen we proceeded past Lake Schwytz to Zurich, putting up for five days at Dodler's Hotel, on the hills near that town. From Zurich we journeyed to Schaffhausen to see the illumination of the famous Falls of the Rhine by Bengal lights. After two days spent here we proceeded through Aaran to Basle and from the latter town across the frontier to Nancy where we lunched. After resting we went on to
the Belgian frontier, where we arrived at 2,30 | in the afternoon and had a most amusing con
tretemps, on account of the Custom House | being closed until 3 o'clock. We had to go back to Sedan to get gold money, notes being refused, in order to pay duty on the automobile, amounting to 2,300 francs. I should here add that I have not yet had this sum refunded and | am writing to Messrs, Cook about it. A most
amusing incident occurred between Nancy and | the Belgian frontier. It was at night, and we were going at a very moderate pace, when suddenly two brilliant lights appeared in front of us and right in the middle of the road. We stopped at once, not knowing where the lights came from. Thieves there could not be surely so close to the two frontiers, but then where did the lights come from 1 Slowly they approached and presently we heard a stern voice shout out Qui va la. We answered | Amis, whereupon two gendarmes, armed to the teeth, galloped up, and asked for our passports. After carefully examining these and our motor car they allowed us to go on with a friendly "Bon soir Messieurs." | "From the frontier we drove straight on to | Brussels and after a two days' stay at the
Hotel Bellevue in that city, during which we I paid a visit to Antwerp, we left Brussels for | Paris, the whole trip occupying just one month and a half. The weather, fortunately for us, was very fine all the time. I drove the whole six weeks myself. Before leaving I should like you to say, for the benefit of others who may wish to make the same delightful excursion, | that in Switzerland the roads were mostly bad, the stones being simply placed on the ground. for the wheeled traffic to do the rest of the work, instead of the steam roller. In Belgium, I again, the roads are also bad and the streets of most towns so badly paved that it is very disagreeable and almost impossible to drive at any speed. The best roads are undoubtedly those in Alsace and in France, but I should add that, notwithstanding the execrable roads Tin some parts, we never had one breakdown, I.
which proves the excellence of the French-built automobile." | And here the courteous Prince rose and, saying he had another visitor waiting to see him, wished me good morning, as he heartily shook my hand
The Governor-General and staff left Khartoum on November 7 to inspect the headquarters of the Bahr-el-Ghazal province, with the intermediate stations and the Upper Nile provinces. This is believed to be the first occasion on which a Governor-General of the Sudan has penetrated into the heart of the Bahr-el-Ghazal province. His Excellency spent two days at Wau, inspecting the station, troops, hospital, etc.
On November 18 he held a levée at which were present all the officers and officials, the Roman Catholic missionary, and the principal sheikhs ; among them Nasser Angil, of T'el Goma, and Moussa Ahmed Sultan, of Farog, and Sultan Chak Chak, an important Dinka chief from Dar Jandė. The Niam Niam Sultan Timboura, unfortunately, did not arrive in time for the reception. His Excellency made a speech explaining at length the aims and policy of the new Government. Slave-raiding and seizure of corps, etc., would never be allowed, but peace and the prosperity of its subjects were the true aims and objects of the Sudan Government. He warned all against the result of disloyalty and exhorted them to support the Government and labor for its and their own prosperity.
After the conclusion of this address, with which all present seemed much impressed, rewards and presents were distributed to those who had assisted the Government.
His Excellency personally inspected the rubber plant, the development of which is now awaiting reports of experts. His Excellency was particularly struck with the fine work and great difficulties overcome by the sudd-cutting parties on the Jur, and has ordered the exploration of other important but sudd-Blocked tributaries of the Bahr-el-Ghazal. The Jur river has been found navigable about 70 miles south of Wau for probably six months of the year.
Letters were dispatched to the Niam Niam Sultan Timbouro and N'Doruma regretting the Sirdar's inability to await their arrival, thanking them for the help they had given the Government, and expressing the hope that the Niam Niam nation would learn to respect and recognise Government authority, and obtain the advantages of peace and settled rule.
Leaving Wau at 5 a.m. on the 19th November, the Sirdar proceeded to Meshra el-Rek and inspected Tewfikieh, Obok, Melut, Renk, Kawa, and Duem, arriving at Khartoum 1 p.m. November 27.

An extraordinary meeting of the company was held on Friday week at Salisbury House.--- Mr. F. Anderson, who presided, explained that the meeting had been called to consider certain resolutions to increase the capital of the company to £60,000 by the creation of 40,000 new shares of 10s. each, and a provisional agreement entered into by the board for the purchase of the Waitekauri Gold Mining Company. The Sudan Exploration Company was formed about 18 months ago for the purpose of acquiring two small concessions in the Sudan. An expedition was dispatched under the supervision of the company's consulting engineers to prospect and develop the mines which had already been reported upon. Subsequently the directors entered into negotiations with the concessionaires, and as a result of a visit he had paid to Khartoum, an arrangement was made by which the area of the concessions was increased from a few square miles to between 5,000 and 6,000. This action had been fully justified by the fact that the most valuable mines and ancient workings discovered were situated in the enlarged area. Up to the present there had been discovered 33 mines and ancient workings, and there seemed to be considerable probability there were several others. The quartz taken at random from these workings showed visible gold. They were in the fortunate position of having a railway built for them at the Government expense. The discoveries made by the engineers thoroughly warranted the board in pursuing the development of the concessions energetically ;, and by the provisional agreement entered into they would get a vast quantity of modern machinery and plant.--Resolutions in favour of the agreement and the increase of capital were afterwards carried.
The Daily Telegraph of Saturday week in its review of the financial history of the week that had passed remarks : There has been renewed activity this week in the Egyptian mining market, and it would seem likely to continue, were it not difficult to forecast the result of the operations of the London and Paris Exchange, which is known. to have sold largely both Egyptian Mines Ex. ploration and Nile Valleys. If the business is carried on, of course all these shares will have to be bought back, and a very considerable rise in values may quite possibly take place. We have written in some detail on one or two occasions about the merits of these Egyptian properties, looked at purely from a mining point of view, and the latest reports from the mines bear out all that has previously been stated. We are informed that there is good news about the Atallah Mine, which is in the Central Egypt Exploration Company's property, Central Egypt being a subsidiary of the Egyptian Mines Exploration Company, and Atallala is considered by Mr. Alford, the very conservative engineer of this company, to be one of the best "prospects." We understand that another subsidiary of the Egyptian Mines, namely, the Gabait (Sudan) Mining Syndicate, will shortly make its appearance, all the working capital having been found. The latest news from the Nile Valley shows that it is no mere rich pocket, as many people imagine, but apparently a permanent mine, and such a clever judge of mining as Mr. J. B. Robinson would not have increased his holding, as he has done recently, without being pretty confident as to the character of the mine.
Le dernier arrêt de la Cour que nou avons publié concernant l'usurpation des terrains de l'Etat aura une portée et un retentissement considérables dans toute l'Egypte, ou c'était devenu une spéculation à la mode de risquer quelques centaines de livres pour se faire délivrer frauduleusement un titre de propriété et attendre qu la prescription vienne consacrer ce titre usurpé. Pour se faire une idée de l'étendue du mal, il suffit de jeter un coup d'œil sur la statistique établie, non sans efforts, par M. G. De Bono, l'habile conservateur te. hypothèques d'Alexandrie. On y voit que le gouvernement égyptien a été dépossédé de près de 800,000 feddans dans le seul ressort du tribunal d'Alexandrie, ce qui représente une jolie comme si l'on consi dère que tons ces terrains vont acqué-in une valeur éno-me avec l'extension du système d'irrigation. La procédure en vigueur jusqu'à maintenant était longue et coûteuse, la jurisprudence incertaine; 09 se trouvait en Isce d'actes de vente soigneusement fabriqués pour les besoins de la cause. Les enquêtes, contre-enquêtes, expertises et descentes sur les lieux, pour lesquels les usurpateurs s'étaient assurés le concours de témoins complainants, tournaient le plus souvent au désavantage de l'Etat. Le faux témoignage était, en effet, l'arme principale des spéculateurs. Le Gouvernement, qui ne pouvait s'en servir, se trouvait ainsi dans un état d'infériorité manifeste Fa rejetant en principe la faculté de la preuve testimoniale, la Cour remet les obo. 8 au point, elle rend les affaires d'âne expédition prompte et décisive, elle raccourcit du même coup la procédure tant au pétitoire qu'au possessoire, elle permet au spolié de recourir à la jas:ice laquelle jusqu'ici n'avaient généralement recours que les spoliateurs,

Sir,-I have read with growing concern the constant reports of archaeological discoveries and the desecration of the ancient pyramids, temples, etc., in Egypt, the Euphrates Valley, Ancient Greece and Italy, and the wholesale removal of works of art, sepulchral remains and relics, etc., to swell the collections of the museums of Europe and America. These acts of vandalism should henceforth be suppressed, and I appeal to every Historian, Bibliologist, Archaeologist and Egyptologist to advocate that the plundering and destruction of these ancient monuments and historical remains should immediately cease. An International Society should be founded for the protection of all ancient monuments and relics of civilization, no matter in what country they may be discovered, and none of the relics should be removed from the country to which they belong. All the important and valuable works of art and relics which are at present exhibited in the museums of Europe and America should be restored, catalogued, and protected in special buildings to be erected for their reception in accordance with the laws of this society. If this is not done these priceless relics of ancient civilization and incontestible proofs of the history of mankind and the civilization of the world will, in the course of time, be either burnt, lost or destroyed. They would then be beyond recovery, and what a loss this would be to the world. Thousands of years hence, history which is now incontrovertable and proved beyond a doubt, would be regarded as a myth. If the different museums of the world should require any particular relic it is possible to get replicas made in metal, stone or plaster, and where this is impossible photography can be resorted do. Thus will the monuments and remains of ancient civilization be preserved in their entirety and be saved from loss and destruction. Although certain nations are "dead," yet the graves and corpses of these peoples should be respected and protected from the desecration: of enthusiastic savants and archæologists. It is a shame to open these ancient sepulchres and distribute their contents amongst the different museums of the world. Would the people of modern Europe and America relish the idea of their sacred edifices and tombs being plundered and robbed of their contents at any time in the distant future? This morbid craving for archæological collections is contrary to the high ideals of civilization, and should be checked before it is too late. In order to add to our knowledge of the earth and its history, archæological excavations should be encouraged throughout the world, but the relics which are brought to light should not, on any account, be removed. They should be treasured in a building to be built on the spot. If, however, it be unsafe to keep them on the spot, then they may be temporarily removed to a place of safe keeping, and kept there under international control till it is safe to! restore them to the place of their origin. Thanking you for the insertion of this letter in your valuable paper, and trusting it may lead to an international movement for the protection and preservation of the world's monuments and relics of civilisation, I am, Yours truly, Tse Tsan Tai Hongkong, 22nd August, 1904.

The announcement in these notes that no further reduction would be made in the British army in Egypt, has been confirmed by a semi official intimation. Major-General Slade's command will remain at its present strength pending the re-organisation of all the over-sea commands.
The 20th Hussars will arrive at Southampton from Alexandria on the 14th inst., instead of the 12th inst., which was the date previously fixed
Lord Fincastle, V.C., the brilliant soldier and journalist, who commanded the Egyptian Cavalry in the Dongola expedition, has just been promoted major in his regiment, the "Scarlet Lancers," at Colchester. He mounts the "crown" on his shoulder straps after less than fourteen years' service.
Lieutenant-Colonel Ravenscroft, Manchester Regiment, on promotion, remains with the Egyptian Army.
Major H. E. Taylor, Royal Berks Regiment, on giving up the adjutancy of the 3rd (V.B.) Welsh Regiment, reverts to regimental duty with the 1st Battalion.
Lieutenant F. G. Brown, lately with the 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, at Cairo, has been formally seconded for service under the Indian Army.
The 3rd Battalion Rifle Brigade-the 2nd Battalion of which is at Khartoum—which lately arrived at Aden, is likely to see a bit of field service as things are reported to be looking very ugly in the Aden hinterland.
The South Atlantic Squadron, which consisted of one/first-class cruiser, two third-class cruisers, and two gunboats, under the command of Commodore Frank Finnis, and which did duty on the West African coast and the South American coast, has been abolished. The cruisers and gunboats have returned home and at present it is not intended, apparently, to replace them. The squadron was formed in the August of last year by the amalgamation of the West African division of the Cape Station and the South East Coast of America Squadron.
The sweeping changes foreshadowed in these notes some weeks ago will shortly be carried into effect so far as the distribution of our squadrons at home and abroad are concerned. The ships composing the Channel Fleet will be renamed the Atlantic Fleet, under the command of Rear-Admiral W. H. May. It consists of eight battleships of the Majestic type and four fast cruisers. It will co-operate in a measure with the North America and West Indies Squadron, thus assuring the defence of Canada and our trans-Atlantic Colonies and possessions in the West Indies.
The present Home Fleet will be renamed the Channel Fleet, under the command of RearAdmiral Sir Arthur K. Wilson, V.O., with its base at Portland. It will be composed of eight up-to-date battleships of 18-knot speed. The Cruiser Squadron, under command of RearAdmiral E. 3. Poe, will be increased from six to twelve armoured cruisers of from 21 to 23 knots speed, and divided into two sections, one of which will be under a senior post captain or commodore. One division will accompany or co-operate with the Atlantic Fleet and the other with the Channel Fleet, but both will be available for detached service, and when together will form a most formidable flying squadron in every sense of the term. The Mediterranean Fleet will be composed of battleships and swift cruisers only, ten smaller and slower ships having been ordered home. Lord Charles Beresford will shortly take over the command. Great modifications will be made in the coast-guard service, the members of which number close on 4,000 of all ranks. This force will be enlisted for manning the battleships and cruisers in the various Reserves. The details for this however have not yet been worked out or finally settled. The sum total of all these changes of the Atlantic Fleet and the strengthening of the Cruiser Squadron make its reduction an easy matter if necessary. Until hostilities cease in the Far East the China Squadron will remain at its present strength, --- five battleships, two armoured cruisers, seven protected cruisers, and some smaller ships. A new training squadron of ten modern cruisers will be formed with nucleus crews of specialists in gunnery, torpedo, and other work, and all the skilled men for fighting the ships. In peace the complement will be made up by impending changes, so that the fighting efficiency of the British Navy will be doubled.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents, but we wish, in a spirit of fair play to all, to pursuit - within certain necessary limits - from discussion.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE
Sir,--In your valuable paper of the 6th inst. I was glad to see a letter on the above subject from "A Discontented Ratepayer," who, although he appears to be a rather narrow-minded individual, has brought a little common sense to bear on the question. I am surprised to see that although he refers to the letter from Mr. Alderson which you published on the 3rd | inst., he fails to notice what to a person of more observant mind would certainly have appeared the most important point. I allude to Mr. Alderson's absurd comparison between our town and the city of Berlin, a place in which the most splendid improvements have been carried out regardless of expense, knowing full well that the bill would in a large measure be paid by the contribution of a neighbouring country. So far as I know, there is very little probability of our conquering any neighbouring country, and if we did, we should only be about in the position of the carpenter in "Alice in Wonderland," who wept because "he was very sad to see such quantities of sand." I am not aware that even the conquest of the Sudan has up to the present time ever brought much wealth into the country. Of course, there are the gold mines, but so far, the only extraordinary thing about them is the wonderful rapidity with which they change hands and names. I have often wished to go into Upper Egypt myself, "es qualités” as the French say, just to see what arrangements are being made to divert the | Pactolean stream in our direction, but I ain restrained by the experience of my friend, Rudyard Kipling, who tells us, in his inimitable way, that when he journeyed into that country some years ago, apparently with the intention of inspecting the grand barracks and drill-yards, in which the Egyptian army was being trained for the conquest of the Sudan, he found nothing "but a patch of sun-burnt sand, with a palm on either hand, and a little hut for Sergeant What's-his-name."
If Mr. Alderson's study of Berlin had not been so very superficial, if he had gone only a little way beneath the surface, he would have found that the wise people who built the beautiful residences which he admires, began by spending between £3,000,000 and £4,000,000 on the drainage of their city, and did not put their buildings, like those of modern Alexandria, on a filthy subsoil ; in short, they were wise enough to put their horse in front of the cart, and not behind, as Mr. Alderson proposes to do and many others are doing in our good town.
Modern Alexandria was never so near doing a good thing as when they asked Dr. Hobrecht to draw up a scheme for its drainage, as no one better than he could have done it, with that wealth of detail so necessary to such an undertaking ; but unfortunately our Munici. pality has still to learn that so long as they treat eminent engineers in the way they treated Dr. Hobrecht and Mr. James, they will never get the best advice which such people could give them ; for such advice can only be based on a much more elaborate study than the Municipality has ever been disposed to pay for. As soon as this important question is settled, but not until then, I, and I think many others, would be glad to see our Municipality entertain philanthropbio proposals such | as those now prematurely put forward by Mr. Alderson. I am, etc., OBSERVER

In connection with the Liverpool University an Institute of Archaeology was recently established with the object of providing the means for a broad education in archæology The institute includes a museum of Egyptian antiquities grouped chronologically into representative periods and embracing many exhibits which have been taken to England as the result of the recent researches. There is also a library of archæological works, and lectures will be delivered by distinguished Egyptologists, among them being Mr. J. Garstang, who is well known for his researches in Egypt during recent years The work of the institute, which marks a new departure in university effort, will not be confined to the maintaining of the institute itself, but will cover the sending out of a research party to excavate in the district of the Upper Nile between Edfu and Esneh. Many rich discoveries have been made in this district. Excavations are to be made in other places outside the Nile Valley, and the researches will be conducted on an extensive scale. The results are to be published by experts. The new scheme will receive influential support.

We all admit the usefulness of Education and the good done by Board and other schools Bnt the terrible effect of over-excitement and forced work for Examinations demands enquiry. Children are everywhere breaking down from this cause. Great numbers, of little girls especially, come under the doctor for St. Vitus' dance and other nervous complaints. Boys grow too thin and seedy to make strong men.
The cause is over-excitement in school, acting on weak constitutions; the cure is nerve-feeding. If the brain and nerves are properly fed-up children learn easily and keep their health. Blood is the food of brain and nerves. Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people are the food of the blood. It is pale, thin, anæmic children-children with sharp, pinched-looking faces, lips always open, eyes with dark rims, gums alpe and bloodless, who break down from too much school. St. Vitus' dance, which used to be a rare disease, is every year getting more common, and doctors find it very difficult to cure, How Dr. Williams' pink pills cure it, by feeding up the nerves and brain with the new, rich blood which they make, is well shown by the following example.
We have selected one of the very worse case of St. Vitus' dance. It is that of a young on in more than one hospital. This young In-hoit h wad some of the best medical atten| ady, Miss Harriet Louisa Roberts, reside, with her parents at 44, Ada-road, Smethwicks | Birmingham, and it is ten years since the first | sign of illness was seen. Mrs. Roberts thus re|lates the story of her daughter's suffering :
"I first noticed that my daughter's hands | were unsteady. If asked to carry a plate or a basin she would drop it, and I thought that it was a clumsy way she had. But she would cry and say "Oh, mother, I really cannot help it l' She often cried because she could not do her lessons. Soon I began to see that she was afflicted with some nervous complaint. I hoped she would grow out of it; but as her nervousnesss increased, I took her to the children's hospital as an out-patient for about twelve months, but she grew so much worse in spite of all the skill bestowed on her that she was | admitted as an in-patient for a further three months. Appearing a little better, she resumed school, but a fortnight after she was away again, and for the next two years she was a | patient at the Queen's Hospital, and the general hospital where, after five weeks' treatment as a resident patient, she was discharged, a Sister at the hospital remarking that every| thing posssible had been done for her. I fetched her home thoroughly disappointed. She appeared to me not one bit better than when she entered.
"The nervousness had undoubtedly developd into St. Vitus' dance. She couldn't keep still two minutes together. It was impossible for her to do her own hair, and there was a urious jumping way about her. We were obliged to put her bed against the wall lest she should tumble out; and often, on going to her room, I have found her underneath the bed. Her eyes rolled strangely, her tongue stuck out of her mouth, her head would nod, and her hands at one time shook so violently that she could not feed herself. In walking, she would drag her legs after ber as if they were useless.
But I am thankful to say,” Mrs. Roberts went on, “that she looks very different now, and the reason of it is this : My son called our attention to Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. He bought us one box, and when Harriet had taken these, to the surprise of everyone there was a decided improvement. He bought her another, and then a third. She has started to go to business now. All my neighbours know how she was afflicted and can vouch for the truth of this. I have not exaggerated the facts in the least."
The cure of St. Vitus' dance by Dr. William' pink pills is purely a case of blood making, and the same pills have cured anæmia (which is simply bloodlessness), consumption, decline, eczema, and all other diseases of the blood, as well as rheumatism, paralysis, gout, sciatica, and the ailments women endure in silence. The genuine pills bear Dr. William' name, and substitutes should be avoided, as they never cured anyone. Dr. Williams' medicine company, Holbornviaduct, London, will send a box, post free for two shillings and ninepence, or six for thirteen and nine, but they can be had at all medicine shops, if purchasers insist on having the genuine.

Les personnes qui connaissent les
Pilules du Docteur DEHAUT de Paris
n'hésitent pas à se purger, quand elles en ont besoin. Elles ne craignent ni le dégoût ni la fatigue, parce que, à l'opposé des autres purgatifs, celui-ci n'opère bien que lorsqu'il est pris avec de bons aliments et des boissons fortifiantes, telles que vin, café, thé. Chacun choisit, pour se purger, l'heure et le repas qui lui conviennent le mieux, selon ses occupations. La fatigue de la purgation étant annulée par l'effet de la bonne alimentation, on se décide aisément à recommencer autant de fois que cela est nécessaire.
