Orientals tolerate oppression-they detest interference for their benefit in all that affects their daily life, and the practical failure of the Government of India to enforce its plague regulations is a lesson to those who are anxious to rush in where Curzons-or Cromers -fear to tread. If your humanitarians were allowed to enforce here to-morrow all the laws that deal with, say, the care of infants and children in England, we venture to say that the instant construction of three new barrages would hardly allay the public discontent. Now for the statistics, which show pretty plainly where the remedy is to be found. The mortality in Cairo among native children of the first year of life amounted to 28.9% yearly average during the period 1886-1890. During the same. period the mortality among infants of the same age in London averaged 16.1%. In Paris it averaged 31.4 % in the period '86-'91, 32.5% at Berlin, and 49.3 % at Munich. The Egyptian figures are less favorable than those of London,-that can readily be admitted, but they are far better than the alarming statistics shown by Munich and Berlin. Indeed, the mortality in the first three months of life is, if anything, less than in Europe, owing no doubt to the fact that the children are breast-fed. After this age deaths are somewhat more numerous till the end of the first year, owing to the fact that infants after the first few months are allowed to crawl on the floors and in the dirt, and are given pieces of cucumber and other solids, which an adult European ligests with difficulty, to soothe or to nourish them. The mortality is not equally distributed -as a general rule it is most frequent in over-crowded quarters and towns. Thus it is highest in the Boulac and Old Cairo quarters in Cairo (32.1 and 32.4 per cent.), lowest in the Gamalieh (24,6 %), while among the towns Ghizeh and Chebin el Kom have the worst figures, Damietta 12.4 %, Rosetta and Port Said the best.
It is after the first year is passed that the mortality figures rise in
comparison with those of European cities. In Great Britain during the period
1871-80, the mortality among infants between 0 and 1 year was 16.6%, between
1 and 2 years 6.3%, bétween 2 and 5 years 10%, of those living, of each
age-group. In Berlin, of the total infantile mortality (i.e., between 1 and
5 years) in 1886-90, 73-3% took place before the first year was completed,
15-2% between the first and second year. In Cairo in 1889-90, for every
hundred deaths in the first 5 years, 57% are in the first year of life,
27.3% in the second, 10% in the third, against Berlin's 5'5%. It is
obviously after the first few months of life that the causes of the
comparatively high infant mortality in Egypt begin to operate. Dr. Engel
Bey's researches throw a great deal of light on this question. He shows that
ordinarily the period 0 to 1 year is by far the most dangerous, and that
during this period more children die all over the world than in the period 1
to 5 years, though children during
What can be done, and will be done; we are convinced, in the near future, is the training of girls in the towns and villages to recognise the symptoms of infantile maladies, and to take the proper precautions in case of sickness. It may be possible to establish crêches where infants can be looked after while the mothers are at work, and the filling up of the stagnant pools near the villages where children bathe and drink, though the water is inexpressibly foul, and acquire gastro-enteritis or weakening parasitic disease, has been taken in hand for some time past. We believe that infantile mortality has not increased in proportion to the total mortality of the population during the last five years, and to suggest that the Sanitary Department is afraid to publish the returns seems rather unworthy even of an ignorant. critic, who cannot recognise the fact that to prepare returns of the kind is a most laborious and a decidedly costly task. It may be asked why the measures mentioned above have not been taken earlier. The reason, in our opinion, is simple. The aim of the rulers of Egypt has been for over 20 years to see that the country's finances and administration were set in order, to guard against invasion from.the South, and to persuade an ignorant and prejudice popu lation of the benevolence of its intentions. Under these circumstances it would have been in the highest degree unwise to harass them from the start with petty sanitary regulations, which would have cost more money than the country could have afforded, and would have required an enormous sanitary staff. After all, the average man here (and elsewhere) takes. the risks for himself and his family. Offer him the choice of wealth-or at least the chance of making money-and of health with increased taxes, and he will without hesitation reply that if he can earn enough to keep him and his family, he can look after his and their health, and in any case "La haula wala qawwata inu Billah el Ali el azim."

We have recieved a copy of the publication, entitled the retail merchants Journal of canada, which seems to ba a first rate medium for bringing together manufacturer and retailer. Like our american cousins, canadian traders have an excellent idea of looking after the main chance, and are well aware of the advantages of combination for the advancement of their mercantile interests. The secretary and editor is E.M. Trowern, 21, Richmond street, west toronto, and the subscription $2 per annum.

As we announced a few days ago,
As some misapprehension appears to prevail in regard to the subject of the price of meat and the cold storage system, we may state that in spite of the extra freight for meat landed at Port Said (it actually costs less to send frozen meat from Australia to London than from Australia to Port Said) and for railway car- riage by fast trains, which is absolutely necessary unless the meat is to deteriorate, also for duties, the Nile Cold Storage Com- pany's prices average only 1d. per lb. more than those given in the London Army and Navy Stores catalogue for 1904. And this though the charges mentioned make the cost of transport nearly 1.5d. per lb. higher, the additional freight charge coming to about a halfpenny per lb. more, while railway charges add an extra .5d. in the lb. and Customs about .3d. As for the retail prices of the butchers in Cairo, they average 12% dearer than those quoted by the Nile Cold Storage Company. Here is an example—for lamb (18 months old as a rule) four Cairo retailers charge P.T. 14, 14, 13, and 11 per oke respect- ively, while the company charges for genuine lamb P.T. 12 for legs or loins, and P.T. 11 for other parts. In beef, motton, and hams the difference is even more marked.

The khedive is leaving montazah for cairo this afternoon. The motor car which his highness bought during his recent visit to paris has arrived from europe this week.
Last night's performance at the Zizinia Theatre in aid of the El Orwa El-Woska benevolent society was a brilliant success. H.H. the Khedive arrived punctually at 9 p.m. and was received by .H. E. the Governor and the members of the committee of the society. His Highness occupied Baron de Monasoe's box in company with the Governor, Baron Alfred de Menasce, and several members of tho committee. The appearance of the theatre was magnificent, I the whole of fashionable Alexandria being pre- sent,and the aspect was further enlivened by the band of the society in their brilliant and becoming uniforms. The Khedive on several occasions applauded the playing of the young bandsmen. During the intervals his Highness received many European and native notabilities and also all the French comedy artists, who kindly lent their services in aid of the society's funds. The play, Le monde ou ion sennui, a sparkling comedy by Pailleron, was very ably rendered and is certainly one of the best , performances of the company this season. Mme. Pamy, l'atry, Lily and M1 le.Georgo to Loyer were particularly good. The latter, in the amusing , part of Suzanne de Villiers, was much ap preciated, and was applauded more than once by H.H. the Khedive. Messrs. Cooper and , Laurent also deserve special mention. The net receipts amount to about £300, , and we sincerely hope that it will help to enhance the good this sodety is doing .in the education and moral improvement of the poorer classes of native boys. At present more than 2,000 boys receive instruction at its hands.

One of the objections to the late distribu- tion of the fleet was that in a
great number of foreign countries the tremendous naval power of Great
Britain was not fully enough realised. On many shores a small cruiser or
obsolete gunboat represented —or rather misrepresented —the premier naval
power. That will now be all changed. The second cruiser squadron, which
consists of eight powerful 24-knot ar- moured cruisers under the command of
The news that the company at Alexaxdria and the detachment at Cairo of the Royal Malta Artillery are leaving Egypt for their native isle has been received with much regret, as during the five years the R.M. A. have been in Egypt they have made themselves very popular. They came here in January, 1900, two companies having been raised in Malta for service abroad, and one was sent to Egypt. Nothing is known as to the future of the company now in Egypt, and it is doubtful whether they are to be stationed permanently in Malta, or to be posted to some foreign station. Since the R. M. A. came to Egypt they have been under the command of Major Balbi. The troops are leaving on the 4th proxo. by the "Di wara."
A great many people appear to be quite unaware of the position of the Egyptian Hotels, imited, which company owns the Ghezireh Palace and Shepheard's Hotel. We are authorised to state that this company, as it present constituted, is an English company and is registered under the Companies Acts. its board is composed as follows. Chairman : Lord Claude Hamilton, the Chairman of the Treat Eastern Railway Company ; members of die board: Sir Robert Herbert, Mr. Emmanuel J. Zervudacchi, Mr. E. A. Harrison (general manager of Messrs. Thos. Cook and 800, Limit- ed), and Mr. J. J. Hug, of Cairo. The London offices of the company are at 3, Lothbury, EC. Up to last spring the Compagnie Internationale des' Grands Hotels was the largest shareholder in the Egyptian Hotels Company. The former company was bought out entirely by .Mr. Charles Baehler, who is backed by a powerful financial syndicate. He therefore is now in control of the destinies of the company, and with the assistance of his board, some of whose members have great local experience, he should make the company, under its new conditions, even more successful than it was before. Owing to the rise in the price of land, especially for building purposes in the neigh- bourhood of Cairo, the property belonging to this company at Ghezireh has become a very valuable asset, The company intend to develop the Ghezireh estate into one of the finest residential quarters of Cairo. Already thirty- two villas have been built and some very high offers have been recently made for suites at Ghezireh. The fashionable neighbourhood of this estate, and its proximity to the Ghezireh Palace Hotel, with its beautiful park and the Khedi- vial Spotting Club, already combine to make It a much aought after spot for residences.

"As I laye a-thinkynge."
Ingoldsby.
I remember reading in my young days a very remarkable book called "The Devil on two Sticks," which, as far as my recollection carries me, was a translation from the French of "Le Diable Boiteau" by Le Sage, and is the only work of the kind I have come across.
The fantastic idea of the author was to represent Asmodeus as carrying him in the air and lifting up the roots of various houses, showing him what was going on within. Some of the scenes described were naturally very piquant considering the French origin of the book, they represented human nature both at its best and its worst, and, as may be readily imagined, they afforded proof of the keen insight into character possessed by the writer, who could hardly have imagined much that he pictured as taking place in the privacy of private apartments.
But the book was written with a deeper purpose than to allord amusement by laying bare the secrets of private lite. Many of the incidents went to show how it is pos-iul ora man, unpopular with is fellows, who July see the exterior side of his life, to have an altogether afferent interior (if I may use the term, character, and to be capable of generous acts little suspected by his daily associated
Nombt the converse is also the case, for ina is a creature of curious construction, in some cases so curious tint it is very dificult to arrive at a fair estimate of his character, ur to know winch side of it is the more predo the good of the bad. Each has its turn, and when a man is simply a creature of impuise, and does not attempt to exercise control over himself, the bad sometimes gets rather a long muings.
No man is either why good or wholly bad, but unfortunately it is very much the custom to enlarge on the undesirable qualities, and quite lose sight of, or only grudgingly assent to, the good ones. If a little thought were given to the subject and an endeavour made to ascertam the hereditary tendencies and early training, the surrounding conditions, and above all the adverse circumstances in which the man may be placed, we should doubtless often find that the traits in his character which we so strong y condemnu call for sympathetic forbearance rather than complaint.
We want to bear in mind a little more the good old adage,
"Be to his jaults a little blind,
And to his virtues ever kind," Instead of this, the way of the world is to adopt just the opposite course. The result is much misunderstanding, ill-teeling, and general suspicion one of another, culminating not frequently in actions for slander or libel, and the drifting apart from each other of those who with a better understanding would be close friends.
If some Asmodeus could give the head of some large establishment, say the manager of a bank, a peep into the occupations of his staff on a given night, what would be the feelings with which he would meet his clerks on the following morning? I venture to think that while much that he had seen would have greatly shocked him, on the other hand he would have learned much that would have greatly surprised him, as to the unsuspected good in others, and that on the whole his estimate of human nature would have been raised rather than lowered by what he had
seen.
For good is the ultimate goal of all,and, being so, the tendency of human
progress must inevitably be an upward one; and although much in this life
gives the pessimist ground for his croaking, the optimist is in the right,
and hope, not despair, trust of our fellow creatures, not suspicion, should
animate us as we
We ought also to exercise the same charitable judgment in criticising the action of public men, and at least credit them with good motives, however one may disagree with the line of policy adopted by them. Instead of this our party leanings blind us too frequently to the merits of political opponents, and while often this is greatly on the surface, as for instance in presidential elections in the United States, it is more frequently deep seated and productive of much injustice, causing unmerited obloquy to be cast upon thoroughly honorable men.
A good deal of carping criticism frequently appears in the public press, much of it of a nature that can do little good, and being from anonymous letter writers is only disre garded by those at whom it is levelled, who can well afford to pass it by. I know that in Egypt it is said that it is seldom or never possible for a writer to ap pend his name to a letter of complaint, but I notice that signed letters do command attention, and frequently lead to remedial action ing taken, or satisfactory explanations being aforded.
am getting away from Asmodeus, but, as have observed before, thought takes a wide range if you let it go unchecked. I am just wondering what a peep into the Tsar's palace would reveal just now.
Would some of the abuse so freely showered upon the unfortunate monarch during the last few weeks be changed into pity for a man placed as he is, and would it not perhaps be realised that the system is more to blame than the man Fortunately, Asmodeus is not at our command, and we are left to form our own judgment from the materials at our command. But above all things do let us be charitable in this as in everything else.

Eight years had flown and then the trouble
[came. The spring began to fail 'twas less and less, There is you know but very little rain,
So without water nothing but distress. The fellah saw the fields on which he toiled Showing no life, but hard'ping into dust, His many skilled devices too were foiled, Old men were grim, the women's voices
[hush'd Poor children sat like wax-bills in a row Over the whiten'd runlets, mute and crushed, Feeding on shrivell'd dates which are so, 80, No filling in odd corners with a crust; When to a holy man upon his way
To Mecca, spread his mat and knelt to pray. Two days and nights he did not even drink, And so the weary people gathered round. The elders looked, and then began to think Perhaps the saintly one would bless the
[ground,
They begged him thus, but he remained as
[dumb, With lifted eye-balls gazing into space. They fasted, too, until the time should come, All time was Allah's-patience, then, was
[haste.
On the third eve, he spoke as one awake, Where is the woman, mother of the son Who has five brothers ! even for her sake, The thing you pray for, surely shall be done But I must speak with her-she shall not miss Heaven's own reward, which afterwards is
[bliss. They all withdrew and whisper'd, who is she? They knew each other every one by name, We fear it is a riddle-That may be
But we must find the answer all the same, Ah, now said one, I'll ask my lord Murad, He is much nicer since the great Sit's death, I think the younger one may have a lad Who has five brothers. Here he held his [breath, The humble folks talk not about the great, They rarely look at them, as they pass by Be it all simply-or in greater state, Why hazard thus to meet the evil eye? There have been Pashas, Allah give them
[grace!
That brought much sorrow to the fellah race.
Murad had fed and smoked, so in this mood A suppliant was better than a joke, Quite slowly he absorbed his mental food Then like an oracle at last he spoke. Go back, said he, and tell the holy man I think I know the lady-if he lies And if I find his promise is a sham Or but a play of words-why then he dies! Forthwith beneath the lofty portals he Strode on, a black ambassador in fact, The slaves in order all stood by to see And wondered at his diplomatic tact,- They heard of suffering, they too might feel, So one, then all before Waheida kneel. (To be continued).
DES POETES
M. PAUL PLAN
-L'Egypte a joué dans l'antiquité le premier rôle dans la littérature et dans les sciences. La richesse de son sol, la douceur de son climat, la beauté enchanteresse de ses paysages lui rendront tôt ou tard sa splendeur d'autrefois. Les peintres et les poètes, aussi bien que les littérateurs, peuvent y puiser de magnifiques sujets d'inspiration.
C'est d'ailleurs ce que les hommes de lettres semblent comprendre de plus en
plus. Tout dernièrement encore M. Paul Plan, qui a publié pour ses débuts
"Roses de la vie", n'a pas hésité à quitter ses occupations artistiques: à
Paris pour faire une tournée en Egypte, en compagnie de la troupe de comédie
trançaise, dont il est en même temps le premier rôle. Déjà plusieurs poésies
exclusivement locales ont jailii de sa piume; quelques-unes d'entreelles ont
même été publiées par nos confrères, mais la plupart de ses sujets ne sont
qu'ébauchés, ce sont des idées jetées au hasard sur le papier et qu'il
développera plus tard à loisir. M. Paul Plan a fait partie du Portique à
Marseille avec Jean Lombard, Clovis Hugues et tant d'autres. C'est sur le
conseil de Fran çois Coppée, président d'honneur de cette société
littéraire, qu'il vint à Paris où il entra au conservatoire et embrassa la
carrière dra matique. Il n'abandonna pas pour cela la lit térature. Au
contraire. A l'époque de la guerre des Boërs, il déclama au cercle militaire
"un épisode de guerre au Transvaal" qui obtint un immense succès. Encouragé
par cet accueil, il résolut de réunir, ses poésies éparses en un volume
"Roses de la Vie" qu'il publia. Les éloges les plus flatteurs parvinrent à
l'heu
Un mot sur sa méthode. A l'exemple des grands mattres, M. Panl Plan n'éurit rien sano inspiration. Dès que l'idée a jailli, les principales lignes sont jetées à la hâte sur le papier, mais ce n'est qu'après un travail des plus laborieux qu'il donne à ses vers leur facture définitive. Grâce à cette méthode, que nous tenons des classiques, ses périodes sont oor- rectes, ses vers agréables et sonores, le tout forme un ensemble harmonieux. Un autre mérite de M. Plan, et ce n'est pas le moindre, c'est qu'il ne cherche pas le succès dans les snjets faciles, mais dans la nature même, seule voie qui mène à la gloire.
Ajoutons que l'auteur n'a pas encore atteint la perfection; mais il a les flèches et le carquois, la culture intellectuelle et l'enthousiasme. Il ne lui reste donc plus qu'à s'exercer. Son énergie et sa persévérance lui assurent un brillant avenir.
En ce qui concerne plus particulièrement les Roses de la Vie, ce volume contient un certain nombre de poèmes d'une élégance de forme et d'une beauté de pensée, dignes des maîtres de la lyre. L'espace nous manque malheureuse- ment pour en citer de longs extraits, mais nous ne résistons pas au plaisir d'effeuiller au passage quelques unes de ces roses qui sentent si bon.
Tout mon cœur exultant s'emplis avec ivresse De ta bris embeumée cu passe la osrense; Le guioleil, qui flambe ent n ciel toj urs pur. Illas in les ments enveloppés d'azur.
(Extrait de: A la Provence.)
Terre léni, éclore en des rêves d'amour, Tu via naitre ens flanes le germe de nos gloires Quand tu dounas le jour à ce dien des victoires Qui nous conquit le monde an brais de ses (tambours.

La femme du marin, se promenant eu senil De cette grève amère, où la vagne écamante remble apporter la voix du mort quise 1-merte, Tenans son over enfant contre ron sein prearé, De l'immense douleur est le spectre gl có... Fes yeux n'ont plus de pleurs... et son âme [at brisée,
Car elle ignore, hélas ! où s'en va a pensée!
(Extrait de: La femme du Marin.)
REPOS
Mollement étendue na travers des conssins, Qui cèdent done ment sous son jeli corps rose Elle écoute l'accord rythmique de es seins, Foyeux et parfamés comme une fleur éclore.
Et la frange des cils de ses grands yeux ouverts Estompe son regard d'une douceur exquise; Elle fixe là-bas sur les borizons verts Une feuille qui tremble au souffle de la brise Es sa chair indolente en un bercement doux, Ba chair, ct le désir toujours semble renaître, Aux frôlem-nta légers de ses blonds cheveux [flous
Fait passer un frisson jusq'au fond de son bire. a lèvre semble alors chercher où se poser... Et l'on voit sur sa bouche expirer un baiser! Ce sont là les accents d'un vrai poète. Nous nous arrêtons à ces courtes citations, Aussi bien pourrions-nous reproduire les trois quarts du volume, car les roses de choix y abondent.
