This is a condition (or disease) to which doctors give many names, but which few of them really understand. It it simply weakness—a break-down, as it were, of the vital forces that sustain the system. No matter what may be its causes (for they are almost numberless), its symptoms are much the same; the more prominent being sleeplessness, sense of prostration or weariness, depression of spirits and want of energy for all the ordinary affairs of life. Now, what alone is absolutely essential in all such cases is increased vitality—vigour--

Whether the Czar continue the war to the point of exhaustion, or, to use Moltke'a tremendous phrase, till Russia is "blanched or whether, making peace or a long truce, he betakes himself to the reorganization of Russia, for which he has scarcely the mental power, the weight of Russia in international politics must for twenty years be grievously diminished. Her real policy for the last half century has been to lay trains for future expansion, and that policy, if her present Government survives, must for a generation at least be suspended. Revolution, it is true, might pour new blood through her exhausted veins, and make her once more a formidable fighting power; bat failing revolution, her Government must devote itself to the reorganisation of the Army, the settlement of the terrible agrarian question, the concession of personal liberty, and the restoration of the national fortune. On every side the mast be passive, as France was after Sedan, and during that passive period there will be changed of attitude in every one of tho many States which she threatens, or upon which she impinges. Her word, for example, will no longer be final at Pekin. Whether the vast Empire of China passes under Japanese leadership, or accepts Anglo-Saxon guidance, or is ruled by the great Vioeroys of the Sonth, the dominance of Russia, which has been in the way of every "improvement," from the reorganisation of the Army to the construction of arterial railways and the exploitation of mineral wealth, will be for a period at an end. The half-dozen men who in Pekin continuously guide the Throne have been possessed with the fear that, if Russia wore defied, she would exert her military force, and termin ate at once the traditions and the profits ol the Manohu dynasty. Relieved of that preoccupation, they must commence some new course, be it reform as Europe understands reform, or a stronger centralisation, or sub mission to some Power or combination of Powers not animated by the Russian spirit or seeking Russian objects, which would involve radical change in all Chinese political methods. The straggle for the greatest market left in the world is certain to contiijuo, hut it will continue without the interference of the Power which has hitherto secretly settled all the conditions of the race. This of itself is a great change, and it is only one amongst many. There are many indications at Constantinople that Turkey, relieved for the moment from the pressure of her secular foe, is tempted to trust once more to the old policy of violence, which at heart Pashas believe to be the only one worthy of the children of the faith. The Divan may cease to diplomatist, and may strike at Bulgaria, at Greece, at its own rebels in Macedonia and Albania, with armies, and if it strikes with effect, will strike to slaughter and to enslave. That would in the end bring down on Turkey the forces of civilization, and as those forces must have an agent, the actual work of expelling her from Europe must fall to Austria, who hopes always for Salonicaaud a new trade, aided perhaps by Italy. Russia will rage at the thought of losing her predominance in the Balkans; but if Russia is paralyzed, only Germany can interfere, and Germany is much more likely to bargain for her there of the spoil. No doubt also the vigour of Germany will be increased by a farther debacle, for she will be relieved from that fear of invasion from two sides which ever since 1875 has been the controlling factor of her policy and her legisla- tion. Her Government mast, for example, attend more sincerely to the protests of her people against heavier taxation ; she may find in her savings on the Army the means of perfecting her Fleet; and she will find the desire of her people for greater freedom and lighter discipline increased by the temporary extinction of that dread which has made her organization as a barrack seem even to her intellectuals a necessary misfortune. As for France, her only course is to exchange her alliance with Russia for an alliance with Great Britain, and try to become the motive-power of a combination of herself, Great Britain, and America, which should steadily seek to secure the liberty of the nations and the general peace of the world. Even our own country, apart from this alliance, which grows naturally out of the entente cordiale, will b£ greatly affected by the suspension of ambition in Russia. She will be comparatively free from the fear of a European coalition, and will be released from that preoccupation—the danger of an invasion of India from the North—which has lain at the root of many of her difficulties in the reorganization of national detente. Her only dangerous land frontier—for America does not wish to obtain Canada by conqueet— is that of India, and it will be for many years, as it wore, protected instead of assailed by the huge but necessarily motionless mass in the North.
Many of these conseqnences may be slow in developing themselves, bat they must, we think, follow if Russia is seriously beaten without being completely revolution. If, on the other hand, she is revolutionized, as so many expect, the result of defeat may be very different, though at least as important to the world. A free Russia, whether under a new dynasty or the old one chastened by a terrible experience, will still contain one hundred and fifty millions of white men, all full of belief in the destiny of the Slav race, and still debarred from free or easy access to the waters of the World. Russia, rilled in accordance with her popular instincts, may—indeed, must—abandon the dream of dominating the Pacific; bat it would be to throw herself more earnestly, and therefore successfully, into plans for forcing an entrance into the Mediterranean, her natural outlet, tho economic strength of Russia lying in her Southern provinces, and obtaining, perhaps by purobase.au ioe-frte entrance into tho Atlantic. There is a possibility of half-a dozen wars in those two projects ; yet it is certain that if Russians were Englishmen, or Prenohmen, or Germans, those are the two which would in- fluence every popular agitator. They would never consent to sit down imprisoned ; and wo cannot conceive why the enormous and stead- ily multiplying Slav race, when once it has released itself from internal oppression, should be expected to sit down either. Those however, are the questions and dangers of tho future. Por the moment tho paralysis of Russia must release China, Turkey, Germany, and Gioat Britain from enormous pressure, must solidify the entente cordiale with France, and ought, therefore, to give humanity a respite from its person banned truce. It may not, for there is a black cloud gathering in European Turkey - perhaps too in Moroco—but if diplomacy lies any executive power—has, that is, the power of making dynasties and peoples act reason* ably towards each other—it ought.

F. Lewis and Colonel J. P. Lewis, and that all will be made right when the June "Army List" appears. The explanation was necessary, for in the "Army List" for May not only is the name of Colonel D.

WINDSOR HOTEL, ALEXANDRIA Mr. B. Chasse, Mr. Alfred Burke Honan,
A telegram received from Minieh Province yesterday reports the discovery of deposits of fresh locust eggs at Zawiet el Gadsma, Magha- gha Marks z, on the east bank of the Nile. The necessary steps are being taken to destroy (hem and to search for similar deposits. Mr. Melville is acting as inspector of Minieh pro- vince, and is being assisted by Mr. Charman in Beni Mazar and by Capt. Wilkinson in Abou Ghirgis Markaz.
Although a considerable number of locusts have been observed in Upper Egypt since May 13 they are not in anything like the quantities that arrived last year, and it appears that only a certain number are being carried across, probably from Arabia, by the recent S. and S. E. wind. The prevailing strong N. wind of last week has been most favorable for preventing the locusts from settling long enough to deposit eggs, and though the in- habitants are searching most diligently wher- ever their flights have been seen, none so far have been discovered except at Zawiet el Gadama.
H.H the Khedive will, it is expected, be the guest of the King for five days in London. The suite of his Highness will consist of Zeky Pasha, Chefik Pasha, and Major Watson.
A Council of Ministers was held this morning at Ras-el-Tin Palace under the presidency of the Khedive.
A decree was signed by the Khedive con- ferring the Regency on Mustapha Pasha Feh- my, during his Highness's absence in Europe. Another decree was signed authorising Fuad Pasha, Minister of Justice, to act as Minister for Foreign Affairs during the absence of Boutros Pasha Ghali.
The Council also received intimation from the Public Works Ministry as to the appoint- ment ol Mr. London to the Inspectorate of the Irrigation Department The Council decided to levy a house tax at Luxor from the be- ginning of 1906.
Approbation was given to the scheme for the construction of four drainage canals through the Daiia Sanieh's estates at Arment The Council agreed to the project if the Railway Administration for enlarging Minieh station and authorised the creation of an inland navigation company for the Delta and Upper Egypt, and an Egyptian Cigarettes Company.
A correspondent writes :—"Many letters have of late been written to the newspapers by Cairenes complaining of the noise which prevails in the streets of the city almost con- tinuously throughout the night The disturb- ance complained of is chiefly caused by noisy Berboreen who, after regaling themselves at their favourite cafes to counteract the effect of the day's work, make their way homewards at an early hour of the morning singing, shouting, and often quarrelling. One group of these noisy Berboreen follows another with but short interval, some with and some without musical instruments, and the peaceful inhabitant only falls asleep to be re-awakened time after time. After the last of these noisy groups has passed one may perhaps be able to indulge in a short hour's sleep, when the beating of carpets close at hand or the hideous yell of some hawker in the streets below robs one of all further chance of rest
"To expect that the shawish should stop these noises on his own initiative is to expect too much, for the native policeman never notices a noise; he lives in an atmosphere of it, it never disturbs him, and as often as not he creates or greatly adds to it in the carrying out of his duties. The necessary step to be taken to put a stop to such disturbances is for the police authorities to issue spexial instructions to the polixe to arrest anyone singing or shouting in the streets during the night, and should complaints continue to be made, to punish in some way the shawish in charge of the quarter from which the complaint comes. Notice should also be given to house- holders that the beating of carpets at an hour when the city is supposed to sleep, is creating a public disturbance for which they are liable to be summoned.
A meeting of the committee which was appointed to consider the scheme for the excavation of the Sphinx and which it will be remembered consisted of Judge Royle, Mr. Courtnay Clifton, and Mr. Allan Joseph was held at Judge Royle's house at 5 p.m. yester- day. Mr. Dow Covington, who is acting iD co-operation with the committee, was also present.
On the proposition of Judge Royle Dr. Ibrahim Pasha Hassan was added to the committee, and also Judge Tuck, on the pro- position of Mr. Allan Joseph. It was decided to approach the Government about the granting of a conditional concession before any general appeal for funds was made to the public.

It is announced to-day, that some capitalists of the Pincus have decided to found a new navigation company, with a direct service betwen Alexandria, Pirruas,Constantinople and Odessa. The founders of this company are Messrs. Stamatiadas, Domestinia, Bayadas and Righinos. A steamer, with a capacity of 1,600 tons, has already been purchased for the fleet
The cotton worm has appeared on some lands in the Sharkieh Province. The Ministry of the Interior has already appointed some officials to destroy the eggs, but more officials are wanted.
The clover worm is prevalent on the Khartema lands near the Ismailieh Canal. The Moudirieh is taking measures to destroy the pest. Yesterday afternoon two carts laden with onions were run over by a train while crossing the railway line by El Mina. The carts were broken and the four horses were horribly mangled. The police arrested the engine driver. A private carriage belonging to Count Shedid, a Coptic notable with a European title, ran over a native woman. The police arrested the coachman and are investigating the matter.
Mr. A. Hodgson, metal work instructor under the London County Council, has been selected by Sir Philip Magnus, at the request of Johnson Pasha, for appointment under the Egyptian Government as foreman instructor in the engineering section of the model workshop at the new school at Assiout about to be opened. Mr. Hodgson has arrived at Alexandria.
The Assiout Model Workshop when finished will cost £16,000. It will be in its main line based on the model workshop at Cairo, over which Johnson Pasha is presiding with such success. The only other institutions of a similar kind are the industrial school at Abou Tig, founded by the liberality and public spirit of Mohamed Suleiman Pasha, a leading member of the Legislative Council, and the industrial school which is being built by the Moslem Benevolent Society at Alexandria.
In the evolution of modem Egypt, with its many conflicting interests and influences, changes in the types of rolling stock have been frequent, and the result has been that the types used are often strangely assorted. Little by little, however, the rolling stock is beginning to sort itself out into distinct types,and the rapid increase in the requirements of the country have brought hume the fact to the authorities that the best is the cheapest in the long run. Quite recently the Leeds Forge Company delivered to Alexandria six each of two types of "high capacity" coal and grain bogie wagons. As the Egyptian Railways have just placed a further order for thirty of each of these types, it is quite clear that they may be looked upon as the standard wagons for handling coal,grain, and kindred products on a large scale on the more important lines, at all events, of Lower Egypt. It should be noted, however, that with regard to the covered wagons, the repeat order provides for an extra 18 ins. in the height of the roof. One of the types is a thirty-ton coal wagon, with a length over buffers of 37 ft. and a height from rail level of 7ft. 6ins. The inside dimensions are :—Length, 34 ft ; width, 8 ft 9 ins. ; and depth, 4 ft., which gives a cubic capacity of 1,185 ft It has a tare of 12 tons 18 oats., which gives a ratio of tare to the gross load of rather over 30 per cent
The other type is a thirty-ton covered wagon, destined more particularly for carrying grain and kindred goods. The length over buffers is 87 ft and i in. The height from rail level to top of roof at centre is 10 ft 2 J ins. The inside dimensions are Length, 34 ft ; width, 8 ft. 9 ins. ; and depth, 6 ft 4 13-16 ins., which gives a cubic capacity of 1,900 ft It has a tare of 14 tons 1} oats., which gives a ratio of tare to tho gross load of just under 32 per cent The covered wagons are fitted with two sliding doors on each side, these doors having a width of 4ft 9} ins., and a height of 5 ft 10} ins. The under frames are of the Fox's patent com- pressed steel type. The bogie centre castings are provided with exceptionally large wearing surfaces on account of the sand and dust so prevalent in Egypt. The wheels have a diame- ter on the tread of 2 ft 9 ins., a wheel base of 5 ft 6 ins., and the distance between bogie centres is 23 ft
The Leeds Forge Company, in addition to the above, have on order for the Egyptian State Railways thirty bogie platform wagons with steel floors, but without sides and ends, and ten thirty-ton oil tank wagons. All of these will be fitted with under-frames and bogies similar in construction and dimensions to those above described.

Khartoum.—The first detachment of the Niam-Niam expedition, which has arrived at Khartoum, report that all is quiet in the Southern part of the Bahr-el-Gazal. The whole trouble had arisen from the opposition of an old chief, named Yambio, who opposed the Government at every turn and influenced his sons and nephews and the chiefs of all the tribes in his district More than once they attempted to ambush some small detachments on duty, and the climax was reached in March, 1904, when Captain Haynes was killed. An expedition was then despatched under the command of Major Boulnois, and Yambio's village was reached on February 7. Every possible chance was given to Yambio to come in. He sent his son Gangasa to palaver, but was afraid to come himself. After two days of palavering by messenger, Lieutenant Fell, R. N., now inspector in the province, was sent out to interview Yambio, who had by this time retired to the extreme end of his village, six miles off. The old chief was evidently acting treacherously, for a large force of spearmen was found in the village, and his eldest son was stationed on the Yubbo to oppose the advance. Lieutenant Fell offered to talk with Yambio If his men would lay down their spears. This they agreed to do, but took them up again as soon as our people approach- ed. On their doing this the second time, and after full warning, two or three volleys were fired, and the enemy bolted. A couple of days later some prisoners undertook to show Yambio's hiding place. He was surprised and caught and brought in by Captain Carter. It appeared that he had been badly wounded in the wrist and knee. Everything was done to save him, but either through shock or fear, he died the same afternoon.
A treatise on the Egyptian question by M. de Freycinet is about to be published. The ex-Premier recognises the magnitude of the work aooompliahed by England, but he"con- siders that her domination over Egypt must sooner or later come to an end. The Powers have done nothing to cut short the British occupation, but at the same time they have not formally approved it From a legal point of view England's exceptional transitory po- sition, to use the late Marquis of Salisbury's expression, remains unaltered. It is unaffected by the Franoo-English Agreement of 1904. Europe may at any time bring up the question and demand a settlement in conformity with equal rights.
M. de Freyoinet thinks, however, that Eng- land will eventually relinquish Egypt sponta- neously in exchange for the full possession of the Sudan, so that here undisputed sover- eignty would extend from the Second Cataraot to Victoria Nyanza. He suggests that Germany's apparent support of the British claims in 1896 was inspired by a desire to perpetuate a source of friction between France and England.
To the Editor of the Egyptian Gazette. Sir,—I was glad to see the protest in your issue of yesterday against the recent "Soifee Noire" at the Nouveautds Theatre here. Why the police allow such exhibitions I do not know, for they are a disgrace to Cairo, and no theatre that has any claim to be consi- dered a respectable place of entertainment ought to try to attract an audience by such means. The Government in the interests of purity ought, if it be prevented from putting a stop altogether to these entertainments in virtue of the Capitulations, at least to let it be known that no officials should attend a "Soifee Noire." I regret to hear that some young Anglo-Egyptian officials were present, but I can hardly believe this. Surely the youthful English officials in the service of the Egyptian Government could find a more improving way of spending an evening than in attending a "Soirde Noire."—I am, etc.,

Yesterday the Orient Line S.S. "Ortona" arrived over 4 } hours late, and this in spite of perfect weather. I was informed on board that the lateness of her arrival is directly due to the new clause in the Australian Govern- ment Mail contract, which compels the ships to carry a white crew in the stokehold as well as on deck. last year, with three boilers and native stokers, these ships always arrived be- fore daylight, and the "Ortona" yesterday, with four boilers and white men below, lost 5 hours in 8 days' steaming.
The original monopoly contract, by which the Gas Company here, have the sole right to provide municipal and private lighting for the town of Port Said, controls the "at some near date" laying and installing of electric lighting plant This plant is now in full working order throughout the European quarter, but the odds are, for the present at any rate, in favor of gas, for, although the latter is of exception- ally bad quality and a source of constant an- noyanoe to its unhappy users, it is certainly less costly than the decided luxury of electricity.
The question of the monopoly is freely dis- cussed here, and the arguments always return to the same point, vis.; how is it that the sole right to supply gas, electric, or any other arti- ficial lighting, was granted to one syndicate 1 The result is, of course, the prohibitive cost of electricity and the extraordinarily bad quality of gas, against either of which no user has the slightest redress

The author of "Pyramids, and Progress" has written another delightful work, which is in I fact the best book yet published descriptive of the Egyptian Sudan. "Skip the letter-press, the ; pictures will teach you all you need to know,'' is the author's own advice to his readers—yet ! he succeeds in turning out books which is i-1 impossible to put down unfinished when once | begun. With four, six, or eight illustrations to each page, he has here presented a sort of sketch, alike of the antiquities and of the present appearance of the Sudan, which leaves the most lively impression on the mind of tho reader.
Mr. Ward's book bears, in some respects, a semi-official character."Lord Kitohener asked me to dedicate the book to him," says the author, "and this compliment inspired me with a desire to do my best." The distinguishing feature is the illustrations. The work is literally crowded with photographs, many hundreds in all, a large number of which are provided by the present Sirdar and Lady Wingate, and others who have had the privilege to penetrate into remote and strange regions. The most gruesome are those representing the last stand of the Khalifa, reproduced from photographs of Sir Reginald Wingate, showing in ghastly realism the dead bodies of the leader and his sons and followers a few minutes after the conclusion of the battle. The most satisfactory are those giving the pictures of the Sudan and the work in its destruction, the "saner war" and "sweeter wars" against the hostile forces of nature, in which lies the real test and triumph of the work of civilization.
The description is exhaustive. Here is the journey to Khartoum, its temples and monu- ments visible along the voyage. Then follows the history in outline of the reconquest. The new cities are described springing up on the land of so many great and terrible memories, the Omdurman and Khartoum of to-day. Mr. Ward passes on to the interior in its possi- bilities of irrigation, the encouragement of peaceful agriculture, and especially sugges- tions for the control of the waters of the Nile, and Sir William Garstin's great scheme for utilising in the service of man that which is now wasted.
At the end Mr. Ward takes his readers up into the remote heart of Africa, through a really astonishing collection of illustrations, to the region of the lakes and expeditions and ex- plorations hitherto unrecorded in literature. The author, in visiting "Our Sudan," which is almost as large as Europe, and possesses nearly as many nationalities, was struck with the gre.it exec .t and variety of the physical characteristics. What was labelled "desert" in the maps frequently proved to be fertile land. It was once cultivated, and can be tilled again when supplied with irrigation. The land in many parts, he thinks, is admirably adapted for cotton culture.
Mr. Ward, in applying to his friends of the Government departments for photographs, was almost overwhelmed with their kindness. "I thought to make a selection," he says, "but tj all were so good and many so curious,represent- / ing places never depicted before, that I said I 'Let them all come."' "The advice I give to ' people studying this book," is his genial com- ment, "is, Skip the letterpress; the illustra- tions will teach you all jrou want to know." Among the most interesting is the account of the tonr of Mr. Dupuis in Abyssinia and the surrounding regions, with illustrations of a country hitherto unknown. There are also accounts of the visits of the Governor-General to remote provinces, where Sir Reginald Win- gate is shown "everywhere welcomed by happy faces and hailed by chiefs and sheikhs and head men and village people, especially by the fomale population, as their deliverer." Kordo- fan, hitherto almost iuaooessible, here yields up its secrets, and Darfur will come next, "though at present it is impossible to get a single illustration of that region."
Mr. Ward supplies a much-needed account of the pyramids at Meroe and of the temples at Naga and Solib, built by Egyptiauisiug longs of Ethiopia, which we have looked for in vain elsewhere.
The author's description of the beautiful temple at Naga is set off by an excellent photograph by Eimbashi Lord, R.E. Here is the description
But the chief object of interest here, is an exquisite little temple in the classic style, quite a gem. It bears no inscription, but as it is partially buried in the sand, scientific excavation may discover its origin by careful search for a foundation deposit under the door sill, or at the corners, as is so often found in Egyptian temples. We are told that the Romans never settled so far south. Yet here we find undoubted evidonce of Roman in- fluence with distinct Egyptian characteristics, facing lions of Egyptian style, along with pilasters and arched opqnings carved with what might be called Renaissance treatment I The date of the latest buildings cannot be earlier than 200 A.D. while some structures hore may possibly goback to 1,000 years B.(J. These ruins are ft puzzle as to the period of their erection, that can only be solved by scientific search. The danger is, that if not protected till the time comes for legitimn': inquiry, they are in such a crumbling con : tion that ignorant dig- ging, or search for ti .sure, may destroy them entirely. Several of these temples at Naga, though erected for Egyptian, have been subse- quietly applied to Christian worship, as is shown by the symbol of the cross which they tevr. One of them has been approached by an avenue of sheep, or lambs, of which several remain. This is another Egyptian feature in architecture. The Egyptians had the sphinx "OafStxUor IuPrmal4 4 ProgrtM." Dy John Wt4. LsadSB i Job* Mam/. 111. sit. ram headed to tepifv their God Amon, the Christians imitated tho style but transformed he sphinxes into figures of the sacred Lamb. Dnemichen carried the cross to the remotest corners of the Snd.-in, and every shrine of the old faith had been converted to Christian worship.
There is still ranch land unexplored—in Darfur, Kordofan, and the Bahr el Ghazal. The last has great possibilities of future de- velopment Here '"les brave Beiges,'" says Mr. Ward, "do not seem to take our peaoeful treatment of the natives as complimentary to their management of the adjoining Congo State" Captain Bethell's description of a walk and a visit in Bahr el Ghazal is incorporated in the narrative, and forms one of the most interesting chapters.
A picture of the statue of Gordon in the principal square of the new city forms the frontispiece to this book. The hero is represented on his camel with all its native trappings correctly shown, just as he was wont to start on his expeditions through the country. It was related in "Tho Times" recently how one day a poor old black woman, who had been .a prisoner of Gordon's days, came back to Khartonm, and, soring the statne, exclaimed: "God be praised, the pasha Gordou has come again!" Here she had seated herself for an entire day—and she related how she had sat long by his camel, and that still he would not look at her—he who had never passed her without a kindly nod before. "Is he tired, or what is it she said: but after many visits she came home glad at last, for the Pasha had nodded his head to her!
The new Khartoum now stands the model city of Central Africa. It is a city embosomed in a grove of trees undestroyed by all the shocks of war. When Kitchener crossed im- madiately after the battle of Omdurman the place .vas a tangle of weeds and demolished houses, with not a living creature in the ruins, surronnded by a spacious garden. Noble in- situations and imposing private houses are arising on all Bides. There are several handsome banks and club9, a good hotel, and the Gordon College, with
The author gives a pleasant picture of the life of the palace, and the energy and devotion which is being thrown into the work of ex- ploration and civilisation. The interior of the Palace is most charming in every aspect I enjoyed many visits to it, thanks to its hospitable hosts, Sir Reginald and Lady Wingate. The Sirdar's wonderful collection of trophies and relics of his long experience at the Intelligence Department are well worth a journey to Khartonm to see. Every ; day some young officer would arrive unexpect- edly, bringing news from the remoter pro- vinces, and their keen interest in their duties added much to one's pleasure. All were so young, active, full of life, hope, and thorough enjoyment of their profession. And when there was a gymkhana, and officers and men, white, black, and yellow, all competed together in equality in splendid efforts of field sports and military exercises, it was easy to tell how the Egyptians and Sudanese had become each well-disciplined and effective soldiers.
There is an interesting account at the and of the serene old age of
The natives are evidently not encouraged by officials to become Christians, as the following story about Archdeacon Gwynn. the Chaplain at Khartoum, and a would-be Chris tian shows-:— This man came to Mr. Gwynne and asked him to admit him and his family into his church. Mr. Gwynne said ho could not, as he was Government chaplain, and there was a regulation against his doing so. The man went away sorrowful, for ho had three daughters, and he wanted them to be Christians because, he said, a woman had no life she could call her own under Islam. Of course by and by when there is a public church he and his family may become Christians if they so desire. Many other interesting extracts cooed easily be made, but the above suffice to show the varied characteristics of this book, which ought to be in the hands of every visitor to the ! Sudan.

He brought us from tho realms of Death, Fair spirits not of mortal breath, Whispering their story. We heard the tinkling of their beads, The prancing of their warriors' steeds Tales—of love and glory.
Perhaps their secrets they confessed, And why they lie so quaintly dressed In faded garlands pale, And seem to point from amber palls To pine and crimson on the walls That could unfold the tale.
As in the after dinner time Some gossiped over mellow wine, Within the College Courts. Strange plans evolved before the eyes Of one we deemed, both good and wise— And far away his thoughts.
He saw once more a waveless shore Where visions flitted as of yore Beneath the starry host He breathed again—in spacious tombs, And tore the woof of silken looms, The shroud of some poor ghost.
They say be did far more than this, On sealed brow e'en breathed a kiss In ecstasy of mind. And clasped an arm, once soft and fair Though many a magic charm was there, Held fast as gold could bind.
Poor little arm, thus cast away In some rough spoiler's hurried day Who threw you from the rest. And married tho dwelling of the Sonl By breaking up a perfect whole How could yon then be blessed.
Part of a queen—so precious too— How little they had left of yon When Flinders Petrie came, Who gently took the jeweled bands, Of fine gold chased by skillful hands, And brought them forth to fame.
And at the back of those fair bands Were woven tiny fragile strands Of softest human hair, Twisted about with golden thread The Amethyst and Royal Hawk's head— Turquoise and crystals rare.
'Neath centuries of yellow dost Great Mother Earth held you in trust Among the Holy Dead. Swatched and wrapped in unguents rare The spirit still could enter there Waiting Osiris dread.
But eh I what now remains to tell, The spoilers did their work so well, Then Ages stole along. That silent land Time' yet sleeps And over all the sunlight sWeeps In everlasting song.
But he, the wise one, sat alone In that small cabin then his home That floated on the Nile. Osiris—Isis—Horns there And many others gods less feir, With their Egyptian Smile.
He saw them not, but heard a sigh That echoed as the wind swept by, Among papyrus reed— He seemed to feel a presence there, Whore moonbeams fell across his chair Upon the 'Books' dead creeds.
A feint voice said—"I cannot rest "Or ever join that throng so blest "But wander everywhere "The issues of our life apart "Are sometimes gathered in the heart "Mine—lies unburied there.
"Yes I in an alabaster jar, "Just where the rocky lintels are, "They hid it in their fear, "Go place it 'neath the shaft of light, "That I may find it in my flight, "Until that Day appear.
"It never more shall be disturbed, "When all the rites have been observed. "Go—gentle stranger—go 1" The silver river, calm and deep Heard a man matter in his sleep I thought it would be so —!
Alas ! that heart cannot be found Within the tomb, or on the ground. So lost, an act of grace, A spirit hovers night and day About the boat, so sailors say— , Of grave Professor Sayce !

"At I tayc a-thinking." Inguldsly. ' A few weeks ago it seemed to be a settled thing that steps were to be taken forthwith ' to establish a Rescue Home for girls in con nection with the movement ior the repression of the "white slave traffic," and it was an nounced that the Jewish community had 1 placed a suitable house at the disposal of the j recently formed committee.
But alas 1 counsels of another order seem to * have prevailed, and the executive committee f of the newly-formed body has been informed * that the proposed arrangement will not be carried out, and has been recommended to arrange for the police to send to the Rudolph c Home any cases of an urgent nature. One of t these, a Mohamedan girl from Turkey, has, t in fact, been sheltered there for the past c fortnight.
Now the Rudolph is an institution having a very different mission to fulfil, and moreover is a building ill-adapted for the re- t ception of these cases. But it is carried on by o a man who is heart and soul devoted to this t good woik, and is not to be easily turned t aside from any course to which he resolves to t devote his energies, while the excellent lady i who is partner in his life's work is an ideal matron a home of the kind. n Perhaps no better way out of the difficulty could be found than to make each alterations ( in the Rudolph Home by means of additions, would render it adaptable for the purpose for which it is proposed to use it; for surely the willingness of both Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph to undertake these extra duties, relieving the committee as it would of the necessity of providing a paid matron for the proposed home, would be a matter of gTeat importance, ii And for this willingness I can vouch. « ii In other respects, too, the idea seems to be l one that is capable of being carried through. On 8 the side oi the home facing the sea is a piece t of loud belonging to it which is not yet built on, while the committee have in hand a sum ol £350 which they intend to use for building v purposes.
This however would not be sufficient, and c would probably require to be supplemented by another XoOU or £400, a matter that sorely should not present any difficulty, seeing that the community that originally proposed to provide the home is not as yet committed to any pecuniary liability in the matter. The plan suggested by Mr. Rudolph would be to remove some of the present temporary 1 outbuildings, and erect in their place, and on the ground at present uncovered, a commo- dious dining-room and a dormitory, while 1 above these could be built three, our, or five rooms, as required, for the purposes of a Girls' Home, the entrance to which would be quite 1 separate from that used by the frequenters of the Home.
I think that a proposal such as this deserves careful consideration. While it is quite obvious Xthat no fiat could be hired for the purpose, on the other hand a large house would be quite unsuitable, as no one expects that there will be . many inmates at one time. Everyone too would . be satisfied at the few it would be necessary , to shelter from time to time being under the t care of one who has proved himself so disin- terested a worker in the cause of humanity as Mr. Rudolph.
Though the matter is perhaps one more for private than public arrangement, and its deci- sion one for the committees conoerned, it is at the same time one of great general interest, considering ail that has been written and said on the subject of late, and as snch I have felt justified in introducing it into my notes this week.
I have just been reading that very remarkable little book written in prison by Oscar Wilde, and most appropriately entitled "De Profundis." It is a truly wonderful production, requiring much study in order to be fully understood and appreciated.
As the reviewer says in the "Athenrenm" of April 1, "all the old characteristics of the writer's style are here, with a new one super- added." And it is just this new one that is so remarkable and so difficult to deal with.
I do not propose just now to go into an exhaustive analysis of Wilde's book, containing as it does so many gems of the purest water, while it also embodies much that at first sight appears objectionable and grates on the feol- ings, although the more it is studied the more apparent does it become that a deeper moaning is intended than that which appears on the surface.
But perhaps few tilings in the book are more suggestive to the truth-seeker than the following extracts, and they enforce a lesson of "At Christmas I managed to get hold of a Greek Testament, and every morning, after I had cleaned my cell and polished my tins, I read a little of the Gospels, a dozen verses taken by chance anywhere.............. Endless repetition, in and out of season, has spoiled for us the freshness, the naïveté, the simple romantic charm of the Gospels. We hear them read far too often and far too badly, and all repetition iB anti-spiritual. When one returns to the Greek, it is like going into a garden of lilies out of some dark and narrow house. And to me the pleasure is doubled by the reflection that it is extremely probable that we have the actual terms, the ipsissima verba, used by Christ"
I have never liked the idea that we knew of Christ's own words only through a transla- tion of a translation. It is a delight to me to think that as far as his conversation was con- cerned, Cbarmides might have listened to him, and Socrates reasoned with him, and Plato understood him."
How a translation of a translation may alter the text,'and how greatly the meaning of the original may be changed, is clearly shown in the following illustration, which appeared in the "Combill Magazine" for June 1899.It is all the more remarkable in that re-translations into the original English were made in each instance, so that in no case was a translation made from one foreign language to another. The following lines were first translated into Greek :— " I heard that S. would write my life When I gave up my breath ; I felt indeed that this would add A new delight to death." The Greek version' was then re translated into English by a second expert, whose rendering was then turned into Latin by another, and after re-translation was successively trans- lated into French, German and Persian, the same method of procedure being followed throughout.
The final re-translation gave the following version of the original text:— He. Dear, in my song you still shall live Though under earth yon lio ; She. Ah ! had you now that grace to give I should not need to die.
"De Profundis" would be a valuable book, if only for the reminder it gives us that the utmost care is necessary in accepting transla- tions of so called infallible writings of old. Translators are by no means infallible, and revision is from time to time deemed to be necessary, but be the body of revisors ever so learned, the very revision itself shows that the new light which is continually being thrown on things of old renders adaptation to modem and more advanced thought to be imperatively necessary.
The question why the majority of persons use the right hand with greater skill than the left has never been solved definitely. Dr. George M Gould of Philadelphia, has been specially studying the problem, and, writing in the "Popular Science Monthly," he says he believes that right handedness is so thoroughly ingratiated in human nature that it must have been partially developed in the savage an cestors of the race. Primitive man, in his opinion, must have felt a definite need for the exercise of his right hand in preference to his left; and that necessity must have been re- cognized and obeyed for a long period continuously. The impulse could not well have dictated his habits in eating, for knives and forks are of recent origin, the modern gnn had not been invented, and writing was practically unknown. Moreover, in such operations as chipping arrows weaving baskets, and wield- ing clubs,bows and arrows, it could not have mattered much which hand was employed. When warfare had been carried to such a stage of advancement as to involve the use of a shield however that object was probably held on the left side in order to protect the heart. Then as a matter of convenienve the right arm was left free for the more active function of fighting with spear and sword and with habitual exercise came special skill. An attendant phenomenon was a finer organisation of that particular centre in the brain which controlled these movements and which was situated in the left half of the organ. With an increased use of the left hand Dr Gould thinks there must have been greater demande upon the right eye, because vision must precede the order to strike, or to give peaceful signals. In this way there may have been developed a keenor power of vision in the right eye than in the left. Dr Gould assumes that there was and declares that righthanded people are right eyed and that in their brains the centre of vision is on the left side in close proximity to that governing the right arm.
The more familiar an impartial observer may be. with the social usages and habits of Great Britain and of the Continent of Europe, the less en photic, says Mr. Brander Matthews in the "New York Tribune," will be his feeling that the foreign standard is really superior to American ; and the more inclined he will be to explain away certain apparent disadvantages of onr attitude as the price we pay for what we hold in high esteem—equality and demo- cracy, manliness and self-respect
The American theory of manners, if one may attempt to formulate its basis, is founded cot on any artificial distinctions of social position, but on the simple relation of man to man. In Europe bad manners, whether of the upper or the lower classes generally spring from a lack of sympathy. Iu America, bad manners are caused by want of thought rather than by lack of feeling. They are the result of carelessness more than of wilfulness. The American is so busy minding his own business that he has no time to be as regardful of the rights of others as he knows he ought to be. He does not mean to be rude, and if his attention is called to it he mends his manners, if only for the moment.
The American is profoundly good-natured— and good nature is an integral element of good manners. The carnival gaiety of an election- night crowd in any American city, no matter how bitter may have been the preceding can- vass, finds no parallel in any other country in the world ; it is an expression of that good- hnmoured toleration which is a chief charac- teristic of the American people, and which every intelligent foreigner notes almost imme- diately upon his arrival.
4, York Street, ans Bilston, Staffs., England. Gentlemen :—I will always do what I can m01 towards making your Doan's Backache Kidney 0f c Pills better known, because they have proved ;n , snch a blessing to me, and I believe in them. cr0i I have been a martyr to rheumatism ever since n00 I was 20 j ears of age, and now I am 54. 0ve When quite a young man I had to walk with |m| cratches or sticks. This went on for over 0[a| three years, and since that time I have never jjne been properly free from the rheumatism, and den never so franc as I am at the present time, since upc using Doan's Pills.
During those 34 years I had several severe ju , attacks of this terrible rheumatism. The one -j in October of 1897, when I was living in Wednesday, was, I think, the severest attack ^ I ever had; it kept me in my bed for 10 months, and I became as helpless as a new-born babe. oaf I was attended by one of the best doctors, but ^ he seemed unable to do me much good, although ho told me more than once that if I had been a millionaire he could not have tried ^ harder—and I believe him.
In March of 1899 I was kept from business . for 17 mouths again with rheumatism and , kidney trouble. There were severe pains in . my back and sides (especially the left side); ,10 my appetite became poor, and I didn't relish the food I was able to eat There was a nasty 0 . taste in my month, no matter what I ate or drank, and I couldn't keep my food down. 1 1 Even a pipe of tobacco seemed to go against W£ me, and I became despondent and miserable, mc feeling that life was not worth living. But there was worse to follow : not long 061 after. I began to bo troubled with the kidney secretions, the pain in passing being almost 'D(.C unbearable at times. There was also a sedi- . ment from the urine. These distressing com- plaints kept getting worse and worse as " months went by, until one day I couldn't pass . the urine at all; I was in suoh a terrible "l condition at the time that I thought my race 061 was nearly run.
It was then that I heard about Doan's . Backache Kidney Pills, and they were spoken so highly of that I determined to try them. After I had taken a few boxes I felt easier, and now that I have taken ten boxes I feel quite free from any sign of rheumatism or kidney trouble. I am a new man to what I was, thanks to your Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. They are indeed worth their weight in gold.
Hoping you will excuse this long letter and again thanking you for my new health and strength, I remain

Vinola FOR THE SKIN SOAP CREAM POWDER
The great problem that the Administration of the Egyptian State Railways has to solve is that of the growth of traffic, and it is one that divides itself into many subordinate problems, each requiring elaborate study, special know- ledge, and far-seeing judgment. As it is on the increase of the traffic that the success of a railway system depends for its financial and general reccess, it is obviously the first duty of the administration to see that everything that can be done is done to promote it. For this duty the Commission has made no adequate provisions, apparently ignoring the fact that it is one that demands, on the part of the official to whom it is entrusted, very special ability as well as an intimate knowledge of the country, its trade and commerce, its people, their habits and customs, and many other factors. Under the system of administra- tion that I have sketched this would be the work of the General Manager, whose opinions and decisions, having been revised or approved by the Council, would be carried out by the various departments concerned. Thus it would rest with the Traffic Manager to propose and carry out necessary modifications of the existing traffic arrangements, suggest addi- tional trains, or other methods of meeting the demands for increased accommodation, and in doing this he might have to consult with the Way Department and Locomotive Departments.
To the outsider the providing of extra train accommodation seems a simple thing, but it is in reality very far from being so. We are constantly hearing complaints of the over- crowding of the trains, and these are com- monly accompanied by the question, "Why do they not ran more trains 1" and "Why do they not pat on more carriages i" Well, to answer the latter question first, to put on more carriages is not necessarily so simple a matter as the public assume. More carriages mean more powerful engines, increased stock of carriages, and possibly important alterations in the arrangement of stations, etc. To in- crease the number of trains may not only need some or all of these things, but may even necessitate the opening of stations, or halts, the provision of new sidings and other elaborate and expensive modifications of the line. The employment of larger engines may demand the relaying of the whole of the line upon which they am to run, and this might also be required by any considerable increase in the speed of trains.
These are but a lew indications of the complicated nature of the problems involved, but they are enough to show that these prob- lems can only be effectively solved by very careful study on the part of thoroughly prac- tical men, and that without the necessary study of all the factors, the ablest experts can at best give nothing more than a mere guess as to what would be the most advisable method of dealing with them.
It is important, too, that the fact should not be overlooked that the initial cost of altera- tions and work intended to facilitate traffic is but a very small item compared with the value of the results to be attained, even though that initial expenditure may run into tens of thousands of pounds. If, for example, A and B are two available methods of providing for increased traffic, and we find that A' pounds spent upon A will give an increase of one per cent on the present revenue, and that 6 X pounds spent upon B will yield a five per cent, increase ; if other conditions do not materially affect this result, it is not difficult to see that the expenditure of the 6 X amount will in the end be by far the most economical. Had Lord Farrer's Commission kept this simple fact in mind, it would not, in all probability, have been so hasty to condemn the Electro-Pneu- matic Signalling installation at Cairo, for if this be effectively carried out it should, by the inoreased security it will give and the facility it will provide for the rapid and effective handling of a largely increased traffic, ultimate- ly prove one of the wisest and most economical investments the Administration has made. There are many other points that one might deal with at some length but space forbids Enough I think has been said to show that it would be a great mistake to accept the Report of the Commision as either an adequate critcism of the Railway Administration or as a satisfactory solution of any of the problems involved. Indeed its criticism of the signaling arrangements prove conclusively that the Commission did not exercise that care in the acquistion of facts that it should have used if it desired its opinion to be accepted as well reasoned and well founded.
MR. GEORGE KING, Deputy Sheriff of Itensellaor Co., N. Y., for years was a well known merchant of Troy. In a letter from No. IS King St, Troy, N. Y., he writes "Peruna cured me from what the doctors were afraid would turn Into Brlght'a Disease, alter I had suffered with catarrh of the bladder and kidney trouble.
Pernna Is a blessing to a sick man. Eight bottles made me a well man and were worth more than a thousand dol- lars to me. I cannot speak too highly of It. It Is now four years since I was troubled, and I have enjoyed perfect health since."—George King.

Catarrhal indammation of the mucous lining of the kidneys also called Brights Disease may be either acute or chronic. The acute form produces symptoms such prominence that the serious nature of the disease is at once suspected but the chronic variety may come on so gradually and insidiously that its presence is not suspected until after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon its victim
At the appearance of the first symptom Peruns should be taken. This remedy strikes at once at the very root of the disease

L'Affaire Stagna-Salinas Ce matin, à l'audienco civile du tribunal, prd aide par Mr. Beman, a dissented la cause Stagni contra Salinas Bar la question d'exe- quatur par lea tribunaux mixtes da jogoment. et de l'arrfit rendusparla jaridiction Italienne. Me Palagi a soutenu, an nom de M.M. St-i- qui, que les jugements des tribunaux Consnlaires sont toujoure oxdcutoire3 par les tribunaux mixtes; qae, par suite, il n'y a pas à apprdcicr le mdrite du jugement du tribunal consulaire; que la Cour d'Ancfine a compdtemment statud puisqae c'est d'elle que relaient les décisions des tribunaux Consulaires d'Orient, qu'au fond il n'y a pas de contradiction entre le dispositif de l'arrfit de la Cour d'AncOne et celui de la Cour mixte, ce dernier arrfit ayant rdsilid le contrat de la National Bank, mais non celui de la maison Salinas.
Me Padua Bey, pour la maison Salinas, a répondu qu'il ressort de l'arrfit de la Cour mixte qu'elle seule était compétente; done, le tribunal ne pent que constater l'incompdtetice de la Cour d'An cone; done l'arrfit de cette dernière Cour ne pent fière exécutoire par le3 • tribunaux mixtes.
Au fond la question était de savoir s'il y avait légalement un seul contrat, comme le soutenait Salinas, ou deux contrats, comme le soutenait Stagni; la Cour mixte a jugfi qu'il n'y avait qu'un seal contrat, qu'elle ne devait dono prononcer qu'ttne rfisiliation. Au surplus, Stagni avait demands subsidiairement à la Cour Mixte qu'ello lui accordkt ce que lui avait accords la Cour d'Ancdne ; il a 6t6 formellement dfiboutfi de cette demande ; la contradiction dans les dispositifs est, par suite, anssi precise que dans les motifs. Quant aux jugements consulaires, ils ne peuvent fitre exficutfis par l'autorito mixte que lorsqu'ils ont dtd rendus complètement, ce qui n'est pas le cas ; du reste, un jugement frappd d'appel s'absorbe dans l'arrfit qui le suit; on ne comprendrait pas qu'un jugement con- fined pftt fitre exdoutoire alore que l'arret con- firmatif ne le serait pas. Jugement à huitaine.
Qohari el Ohal et Cts contra Zervudachi et fils Attendu qu'il est dtabli aux ddbats que la poureuite en expropriation initide par Zervu- daebi et fils contre Qohari el Chal et Consorts a dtd volontairement arrdtde par les poursui- vants le 21 fdvrier 1888 et n'a dtd reprise que le 22 mars 1904, soit aprfia une interruption de plus de 15 ana
Attendu que dans cos conditions les ddfeu- deurs à la poursuite étaient fondds à exciper de la prescription tant de l'instance que de l'action
Que c'est dont à tort que les premiers j ages ont rejeté cette exception pour le motif qa'k ddfaat d'ane demande en péremption de la procédure faite en temps utile, l'action et 1'instance en expropriation une fois introduite3 n'dtaient plus susceptibles d'auoune prescrip tion
Attendu que les actions et instances intro- daites en justice ne sont pas seulement suscep- tibles d'etre primdes par la discontinuation de poursuite pendant trois ans, qu'elles sont en- core soumises à la prescription qudrale "longi temporis" (de 15 ans en Egypte) qui atteint tontes actions et instances interrompues pen- dant ce laps de temps
Que l'instance en justice interrompt la pres- cription de l'aotion tant que cette instance est suivie, mais que cette interruption cesae, dfes que Taction elle-mCme et Tinstance sont restdes abandonndee pendant le temps requis pour prescrire
Que la legislation Egyptienne ne contient aucune dérogation à oe principe dont Tinob- servation conduirait à dee consequences aussi injustes qu'illogiques
Qae ce qui est vrai c'est qu'alors mfime qu'une action serait soumise à une prescription plus conrte, cette prescription reste interrom- pue pendant toute la durde de Tinstanoe, qui, elle, ne se present que par quinie ans. Par ces motifs, la Cour infirme le jugement attaqud et. ddolare presoritea par application de Tart. 212 du Code Civil, aveo toutes les consdquences de droit, Taction et Tinstance suivies contre Gohari el Chal et Cts par Zer- vndaebi et fils.

POUILLES D'EQYPTE On a public, il y a quelque temps, un trds intéressant rapport sur les derniers fouilles d'Egypto. La Chronique des Arts, qui en donne une analyse complète, rappelle au sujet de ces fouilles les paroles de M. Maspero: depuis le Serapeum et les monuments de Marietta, au- cune ddconverte importante n'a dtd faite. C'est entre le 28 septembro 1903 et le 5 juillet 1904 que M. Legrain a eu la fortune de ddcouvrir dans les mines de Karnak un nombre conside- rable d'objets. On a mis au jour 457 statuette* et statues en diverses matidres; 15 stdles eu granit, alb/ltre ou calcaire; 8 statuettes d'Osi- ria en schiste; 7 sphinx; 6 vases en albatre; quantitd de-fragments de diverses soulptures; puis, parmi les objets en mdtal, un anneau d'or de la reino Nefertiti, femme d'Amdnophis IV; une statuette du roi Tirhakah (693 av. J.-C.) en bronze dord; un Osiris en bronze haut de lm.30; 4 plus petits en bronze dord; 7,800 autres statuettes de ce dieu, de difTdrentes grandeurs; etc., eta Les pifices les plus belles sont maintenant exposes au Musde du Cairo. "Un des plus importants rdsultats de la ddcou- verte de M. Legrain a dtd de foumir la preuve que juBqu'k l'dpoque grecque, les temples dgyptiens renfermaient toutes les donndes nd- cessairea pour reconstruire l'histoire du passd : statues et autres monuments converts d'insorip- tions, qui formaient depuis les premidres dpo- ques une suite ininterrompue de documents." Hdrodote qui ddoiddment est trds exact, avait done dit vrai en racootant qu'on pouvait voir à Thdbes une sdrio de 345 statues de grands- prfitres d'Ammon.
