MOSQUITOES IN EGYPT.
In a lactarane receitlyvdaliverad at Cambridge under the presidency of the Master of Trinity, Dr. CIAs. P. Harford, Physician to the Charon Missionary Society, made especial minitour of the neuroma drop which has occurred on the Sear Canal in the frequency of malaria, a drop which, according to the lecturer, was almost entirely due to the thorough carrying oat of operations against mosquitoes. The speaker advocated that all medical men destined for service abroad should be trained in tropical medicine, and ad del that missionaries and others going to tropical climates should be trained in the elements of tropical hygiene. He also urged that the principles of this subject should be taught IA all elementary schools of tropical an i sub-tropical countries.
Whilst we agree with Dr. .Harford in the main, we would point not that although the retards for malaria are certainly enormously less f6r the Seas Canal, yet the fact remains that pays at Ismailia has an honest attempt been made to exterminate the mo. quite. We would also point not that at Ismailia the car- side was finance )d entirely lee the Suez 'Canal Co. It is to be hoped that the excellent object- lesson demonstrated by Dr. Fresca at Ismailia, who has been copied in New Orleans, Havana. Saigon, Hong-Kong, Sierra Leone, and other poles where mosquitoes 'abound, will not be ignored in Egypt. ;
The "Lancet," fomenting on the lecture, say*: "We quite agree with Dr. -Harford, but there will always be a certain proportion of even elevated men, who, although they have been taught simple rales <jf hygiene i.e., twill no~ believe them, as was 4h) oases with the Amari- pan colony in Panama." As regards moss quite, the use of a net a* a protection against the bites of these < pests is as old aa Herodotus, who mentions their use inept (Euterpe). We are pleased that the Church Missionary Society reignites the importance of preventive medicine ia the tropics and subtropical, an evidence that the work of the Schools of Tropical Medicine, of Liverpool and Lon Ion, are bearing fruit Aa far as British Colonies are concerned no appointments are now made to the medical services unless the indicates have completed a recognized coarse in Tropical Mediate.
There is. no valid reason why the existing Medial School at Cairo should not undertake this work of research and training in sab-to- peal hygiene, equipped as it IA with a capable teaching staff and ape-ft-date laboratories. We are confident that with the application of modern sanitary methods by socially trained and en'husi&stio worker;, co-operating with an efficiently equipped and well-organized personnel for the clearing away of the abominated rubbish of age?, it would not be long before it would be unnecessary to spend sash enormous sums is trying to prevent plague, cholera, and other diseases booming into the country. Who in oar seaports especially are dean, then it would be difficult for an epidemic to make h ?ad-way. The large staff of people engaged in tabs Quarantine Saivite would then be available for promoting our real first line of defense, who chi is, the keeping of or seaports dean, and, like die ar's wife, abaolotaly above sospioion.

An important company, to be called the A nglo-Belgian Company of Egypt, is being organised to engage in Egyptian enterprise of both a special and geueral nature. It will hwe directors not only in England and Egypt, but in Belgium also, and among the English direotors will probably figure Baron George de Reuter, cf the famous oable service ; Mr. J. Dalison Alexander, of the African Banking Corporation ; and Mr. John Finlayson, of the Anglo Egyptian Bank. The capital of the organisation will be a round million sterling^, in £5 shares, ffialf of which, will probably be offered for subscription in London and in Belgium at an early date—and at a preminm. Among the general objeota of the company will be the acquisition of lauds suitable for agriculture, with a view to their profitable re-sale after improvement; but more interesting iB a scheme which the company contemp'ates for Nile navigation, especially in the Delta. At the very outset, however, the company will carry oat its special Object in the acquisition, of the controlling interest, in the Fayoum L:ght Railways Company by the pur chase of about four-fifths of its capital. This railway in the Fayoum Province, near Cairo, about a hundred miles in-length, holds its con ession from the Egyptian Gqvornmertti which guarantees certain receipts—indeed, the Government is in the position of a deferred shareholder in the ilipe, taking half the groups receipts when they exceed a certain amount.

Sir, the arguments in the letter of Watani are preposterous, and they merely amount tp the plea that because Egypt is a Moslem country and pre eu ption is a Moslem oast'mi, therefore it would be eaorilegions to lay hands on it. Aocordiag to this lire of reasoning the law of the land, should be still regula'ed by the Slnria, fojr Islam recognises no code but that. Aasompg, however, that t'jjVatani's"'main contention is correct, may we not limit the law of preemption so that it oan be invoked in casei whore the only parties concerned are natives? In my opinion this wonld be a moat simple; panaoea for the present state ot affairs, .which is absolutely paralysing all dealings in real property.—16m, etc.

THE EGYPTIAN SHEIKHA'S
PREDICTION.
Sir Henry Drummond-Wolff, who is. so well known throughout Egypt, and who was the most intimate politioal friend of Lord Randolph Churchill, has been interviewed by the London "Tribique," the new Liberal morning newspaper, on the subject of Mr. Winston Charchill's biography of the eminent statesman.
In the course of conversation Sir Henry told the interesting story of his interview, while in Cairo, with an Egyptian fortune-teller, aid tho remarkable predictions she gave of future politioal events at home.
The correspondent mentioned that Mr. Winston Churchill in hie book refers to the fact that Sir Henry Druminend-Wolff had returned home from Egypt in- 1885 when Lord Randolph Charchill religion of the Exchequer.
"Yes," replied Sir Henry, "I returned in November, 1385. When I was in Cairo, earlier in'the year, I reoolleot a rather curious incident that seemed to have some bearing on later politioal developments. I sent over to Alexandria for a famons Egyptian fortane teller, as I always took a great interest in oocult soienc and wished to test her power. The Sheikha, a very tall woman, whose faoe was almost wholly concealed.by an Egyptian yashmak, came to the house of a friend leaning on the shoulder of a young slave-girl. A brazier of live canals was on the floor, and which we were bidden to form a oitole. Upon the blazier she threw some perfume. She then requested me to give her some article, such as a handkerchief; or a glove, that had been in personal contact with me. This I - did, and she mAde some re markable statements to me about past events, 1 to which 1 did not attach 'muob importance,
as I was vtell known in Egypt.
H was then invited to place a two-piastre pieoe on the groitid and to think of somebody. It happened that-Mr. Gladstone had just announced that nnder his Home Rale soheme the Irish members would be withdrawn from the British Parliament—a declaration thatoo3t him the resignation of Mr,, Chamberlain. Of this I was then unaware. I put down the pieoe of money, and thonght of Mr. Gladstone. The Sheikha threw iuoense into the brazier, and then said : -
You are thinking of a mai across the sea, great in the Medjlis (the Council}. He ifl in a position of supreme authority, but he has just committed an irreparable blunder that he now regrets, not only on his own aooount, but on aooount, of the effect upon his friends. In consequence of this ho will tall from power io five months.'
Haying placed a sec end two-piastre piece on the ground, I thought of Lord Salisbury. After some farther ritial, the Sheikha observed The man you are now thinking of is alto a great mao is the Medjlis across the seas. It is he who will gain by, the blander. I a five months' time he will be ia the position of authority from which the others will have been ousts deposited another coin and thought of Lord Randolph Charchill. The Sheikha described him without hesitation as being a man also in the Medjlis, who already exeroised much power, and was destined shortly to obtain far greater influence. Finally, I pointed to the . first and second pieoe of money, and asked which of the two persons they represented was most friendly towards the thirl The Sheikha, after an incantation, selected the ooin that I had deposited when thinking of Miss. Gladstone. The whole thing was certainly remarkable, and made a considerable impression on me when I learnt, a few days later, the ooarse of politioal events in 1 England."
Sir Henry, who spent muoh time with Lord the Board of Customs, and had invited ns1 both to loncheob. We went on Monday, as arranged. I came rather late, as Lord Ran-!
'dolph first nude an inspection of the whole establishment After luncheon he irivitedfcm1 to go home with him by the Underground Railway,, instead of driving" While walking' up and down the platform at Mark-lane, I asked h'ra casually whether his visit theCustom House was merely . on the invication of S.r Charleh Daoaue, or whether it as an offioial insjpection by the Chancellor of tho Exchequer of a ceubordinate department. H i said tome: 'Between you and me, I do not know at this moment whether I am Chancellor of the Exchequer or not.' On our way home he told' me that he bad not been] satisfied with his inspeotion of the estimates of Miss. Smith^and Stanhope( from Windsor he had written to Lord Salisbory offering his resignation. Lord Randolph and I dined together that j night at the Carlton, expecting the answer of Lord Salisbury. Wo had lunoheon there on the Tuesday, and a'so dined there ; bu no communication oaroe. We did the mine on Wednesday, and during his re-sigoation, aad did not appear to leave any opening. Lord Randolph then went alone to the 'Times' office with his letter, which was made pablio next morning.
"Later, with his consent, I wrote to Lord Salisbury, asking him to let me see him. By the time I had written it was generally known that Lord Hai tington would be back early in the following week from a tour on the Continent. Lord Salisbaisv replied; asking me to go to Hatfield on tho following Wednesday, on which I telegraphed him that this would be too late; After being at Lord Randolph's hoase on tho Friday, I was going home to my own house in- Chesham-street, when I met a servant bringing me of a telegram. This was from Lord Salisbury, and contained the message : 'Come down to-morrow.' I then went back to Lord Randolph's house and showed him the telegram, with which be at first appeared pleased. But after reading it over once or twice he said to me 'Will you give me .your word of honour that yon have not communioated with Lord Salisbury since his former invitation to go down on the following Wednesday V I explained that I telegraphed to him to say that the date he had fix , would be too late. On ttyis, Lord Randolph flew into a great anger. He asked me by what right I had said this, adding that tie was not to be driven by me 'like a Caire- pacha,' that if I went to Lord Salisbury he .{gave me no authority to treat with him : af-d that matters mast remain as they were. I went away rather annoyed at the manner in which my attempt at conciliation had biien rejeoted at a moment when I thought insight meet with some success. Nothing was therefore done. Lord Harrington returned from the Conti cent, and an arrangement was mads with Mr. Gosohen.""Can you explain why Lord Randolph, having at first acquiesced in them, saddenly rejected your efforts at conciliation 1" "Lord Randolph did once refer to the incident," replied Sir Herny. "He told me some time afterwards that, when he insisted on my not accepting -Lord Salisbury's second invitation, he was really Under the impression that I would go to Hatfie'd, with or without his consent."

The season at Assouan can already be prognosticated as a highly suooessful one. and rarely have the hotels been so fall at such an early date. Assouan is an ideal spot for spending the winter. There is no place in Egypt to compare with it Cairo, of late years, has got rather cold. Helouan is delightful for invalids and for those who come only for desert scenery, bat after a time the plaoe and its snrronndingp pall on one, and one long for some resort where every other person does not pour ont on one a list of his or her pains and ills, and where every other table in the dining-room is not the bearer of bottles with unmistakable reotan- gular labels. Luxor is another charming spot, and here Egyptologists and ahtiqaaries crowd together and by the result of their labour attract the majority of the folk who come to the land of the Pharaohs. But one and all of these resorts lack the charm and the fascination of Assouan. Many are the tourists who come up to Assouan simply in order to sajr they have been to the First Cataract, and with the fall intention of returning to Luxor, which plaoe has struck them as being an i leal one for the spending of the winter; bat a large jiax Social Rub Mosque Attaeinb No. 21.

The, sunsets at Assouan are most beautiful and from the Cataraot Hotel the picture seen of the sun, dropping behind the hills shooting forth its brilliant rays up irito the heftvem, is one not easily forgotteu.

His Investors Chronicle,a London financial organ, in an article on Egypt, remarks that the revelations of the methods of life a8snrance companies' in the United States have caused considerable anxiety here to those assured in the .three large offices, and that Government supervision has Veen suggested. Oar Loudon contemporary remarks .At the present moment no less than seventy life assurance companies are represented in Egypt. All these companies are legally independent' of Egypt and tfoly submissive tq> the official control of their own countries. Lord Cromer is not likely to step in, and the best advice that~oan be tendered intending assurers jn Egypt is to take policies with the best British offices."
We are quite unprejudiced in the'question, and We do not think thaf the E»yptian Government as a conseqnence of the American insurance scandals' will inaugurate any system of official control. Bnt.it is worth while noting the alternative which the ''Investors' Chronicle"advisee, namely, to give a preference to the British insurance offices instead of to such Concerns as some Of those that have been involved in the recent scandals. As a simple of tin enormity of these scandals we may "quote the Jfollowing article from a recent number of the ."Morning Post":—
The American insurance scandals are still far from being at an end The New Yorbpapers that are just to ' hand contaio details of a revelation that is likely to prove as repulsive as any 'that has disgraoed the management of these institution". We observe with regret that in this ease the culprit is the New York Mata-il. Oar regret is twofold. In the first place) toe Mutual has a far larger number of British policy.holders thru any other Ajnerioan insurance, company. Not far short of thirty thousand people in these isles have insured their lives and invested their savings in it. In the second place, up to the last few days the evidence brought out by the Legislative Committee, while it has disolosed many' grave irregularities in the ophduot of the Mutual— excessive salaries,for instance, extravagant commissions, aud an immense amount of favouritism—has not ehowa ,i*s directors to have been guilty of the .more culpable orimea against v the ethics of trusteeships. One could still say— and in these colamns we have repeatedly said - it—that the Matual was an honest concern— merely "honest when compared with the Equitable orjhe New York Life—that would not be saying much—bpt intrinsiqally honest. Bat it is becoming doubtful whether that praise is any longer possible. The evidence tendered at some of the recent sittings of the Legislative Committee of iuqniry suggests that some at least of the Mutual's directors have been as oareful of their own interests and as careless of the interests of the policy-holders as any of the governing spirits in the rival companies. It appears from this evidence that in 1901 a thousand shares of the Lawyers'- Mortgage Company were offered to the Mutualat the "ground floor" price of ?!26 a share. Theeg shares taever reached the Mutual. They were intercepted by the president of the society, Mr. McCurdy, and by a fellow director, Mr. Juilliard, arid by them were distributed among five other,directors, all of whom, with one exception, were members of the Finance Com; oiittee. These directors paid for the shares with their own mOhey and parted with'them at a » profit of from $50 to $100'a share.' The transaction on the face of it -has a verry ugly look It.heaastill uglier look when we turn to the Matual's balance-sheet for 1903 and find that the soci ty then parebased a large block of Lawyers* Mortgage Shares at $174 a share, or nearly 8^0 a shalfo more than the directors had paid as individuals .two yesirii earlier. These things need explaining. Some of the directors have endeavoured to explain them by denying all knowledge of the fact that the stock was qffered to the Mutual in 19^1. Neither Mr. McCurdy, they pay, nor Mr. Juilliard ever divulged the secret. Their plog is that they thought .they were taking part in a purely private transaction that had nothing whatever
do'With the Mutual. Even the coincidence that, all the beneficiaries by the transaction happened to be directors of the Mutaal and ail but one of them members of its Finance' Committee did not apparently rouse their curiosity or strike them . as at all peculiar or suggestive. They simply, accepted Mr. Juilliard's or Mr. McCardy'a hint to buy the stock and asked no qneetions. Frankly, the plea is a little difficult to swallow. Nqr ih it mado any easier by the fact that the directors who .participated in the deal were close friends of McCurdy and were also the men who elected Mr. Peabody to succeed him in the presidency. There seem to be two distinct parties in the Mutual at this moment. One party is .made up tof McCurdyites who profiled by the McCurdy regime, and who are anxious, to draw a veil over its shortcomings. To this parly it is due that, the new president of the society is an nDknown man, utterly ignorant oT insurance . matterp, act! believed on good anthority to be the ohr sen representative of Wall Street interests. The other parf-y is made jip of genuine reformers, wbo'are de'ennined that the company
hall be thoroughly reorganised,, and that the accomplice# and henobmon r f the old r6gimo shall be got rid of. This party is represented by-a eommittoa of directorsf hat is honestly bent on making a fresh start. The sympathies andethe iqterentH of British policy-holders am altogether On the side of vhe committee; They fully resolved that the Mutual shall not be allowed to fall back into the hands of Wall Street. They are also resolved that, directors who at proved guilty of the crimes of which 'fhe«e directors are accused. »ball be dismissed. Unless the-New-York managers fulfil these fessenlial Conditions they must be prepared to f«ce a vehement and effective revolt among english policy-holders,

"The Egyptian Gazette" Series is the most artistic collection to be found in Egypt.
The Egyptian Gazette has much pleasure in presenting to its subscribers the accompanying description of some of the many interesting routes by which they may travel homewards. Great care has been taken to arrange them as accurately and concisely as possible, and it will be found that none of them are fraught with difficulty. In choosing the route home there are several things to be considered. To begin with there is the difference in climate between Egypt and the various points at which you may arrive in Europe.
This depends partly upon the month in which you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may be a little warmer than the Riviera, and possibly not so warm as Sicily, but in March it will be warmer than Rome, and more uniformly warm than many other places in Europe. Many people leave Egypt far too early in the year, for as a rule the weather in April and May is perfect. The warmest place to go to on leaving Egypt is Sicily.
Some will want to take into consideration the number of days to be spent at sea, and we therefore subjoin a list showing the time occupied on each of the various routes between Egypt and the Continent of Europe.
They are as follows:-
The long sea routes—from Port Said or Alexandria to Plymouth, Southhampton, London or Liverpool—occupy about 4 days. The short ones are as follows:—
The steamers, of the P.&O. North German Lloyd, Orient and Messageriea Maritimes are the largest. The Anchor, British India, and Bibby Lines are also excellent, and their steamers are largely patronised by travellers to Egypt.
As regards the train journeys from Cairo, the shortest is that to Alexandria, without change (3 hours). That to Port Said, can now be made without change in 4 1/2 hours.
The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines of steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. The German Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg.
The most expensive but quickest through Continental routes are by P.&O. Brindisi express from Port Said, and the Austrian Lloyd Trieste Vienna express from Alexandria.
As regards heavy luggage, it must be borne in mind that very little luggage is allowed free on the railways of Europe, but there are several good and responsible forwarding agents in Egypt who undertake at a fixed charge to deliver packages to any address in Europe.
The quickest manner of getting to Europe from Port Said is undoubtedly by the
fast Mail Steamers "Osiris" and "Isis” to Brindisi. One of these leaves port
Said every week, as soon as possible after receiving the Indian
These small but comfortable ships have enormously powerful engines, and attain a very high rate of speed. They are called the "Ferry Boats" having been specially built to carry the British mail from Port Said to Brindisi. If you are going straight through to England you will find the train waiting at Brindisi which will take you to Calais without changing. It has complete arrangements for sleeping and eating on board, and you should arrive in London on the fifth day from leaving Port Said.

Mr. Alfred Hug, Proprietor and Manager
The direct route to Sicily is by the Florio-Rubattino Co.'s steamers which leave Alexandria weekly for MESSINA, where one takes train to TAORMENA, one of the most charming and popular places on the island. Giardini is the station at which to alight, and the drive up to Taormina is most delightful, occupying about one hour. In and around the town is much to interest the visitor. The theatre is of Greek origin, but restored under the Romans. CATANIA is the starting place for the ascent of Etna and here also is a fine Cathedral. The Greek, Roman, and Saracenic remains that are found all over the island, are an endless sources of pleasure. SYRACUSE has an interesting history, having been a Greek city, which was designed by Demosthenes in B.C. 413, and taken by the Romans in B.C. 212, when Archimedes was slain—his tomb is to be seen. The cathedral was once an ancient pagan temple. PALERMO, with about 300,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the Island, and enjoys a delightful climate. Much of interest is to be found in this fine city. The Palazzo Reale is of Saracenic origin and close to it the church of S. Giovannia degli Eremiti with its picturesque cloisters. The Cathedral, Museum, Botanic Gardens, Villa Giulia and Royal Park are also worth a visit.
The fine steamers of the North German Lloyd leave Alexandria every Wednesday during the season for Naples, the voyage being only 3 days.
NAPLES is also reached in 10 hours from Palermo by the Florio-Rubattino Co.'s steamers, which leave daily. One cannot approach Naples or leave it without wishing to explore some of its islands, besides the lovely places on its bay—Castellamare and Sorrento. The small steamer that takes you to Sorrento [you can drive too] will take you on to Capri.
From Naples to ROME is a train journey of but five hours. All who can will devote at least one week to visiting the many historical and interesting portions of the Eternal City, whose charms and beauties are too well-known to need comment here.
Leaving the Eternal City with much regret, a railway journey of five hours brings you to FLORENCE, where another week can well be spent admiring the City of Flowers and its surrounding country. In Florence itself the churches and galleries are of absorbing interest, whilst the local promenades and excursions should not be omitted. The Cascine is the most attractive and fashionable promenade in Florence, whilst the Viale dei Colli, one of the finest walks in Europe, opened 35 years ago, goes winding up through the hills a distance of four miles. The most delightful excursion outside Florence is that to Vallombrosa, with its Monastery 3,300 feet above the sea level. This is made first by ordinary train from Florence to St. Ellero, thence by cog-wheel railway to Saltino. The ascent through groves of oaks takes an hour, and most striking panoramas are unfolded to view.
PISA is easily reached from Florence in about 2 hours ; hero there is a fine Cathedral and the Leaning Tower. A stay of at least one night should if possible be made in order to enjoy the view from the Campanile at sunset.
VIAREGGIO. One of the most delightful places on the Italian Riviera near Pisa and on the main line from Rome to Genoa. It is a very convenient half-way house between Egypt and England, and where living is reasonable and the air and surroundings exceptionally good.
GENOA (La Superba).—The most picturesque and interesting city in Italy, with the record of having one of the lowest death averages of European cities and a phenomenally equable temperature—warm in winter and deliciously cool breezes from the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean in summer.
The patriarchal home of Italy's most ancient nobility, whose palaces, gardens, and famous collections of statuary, frescoes, and paintings, are a constant delight to thousands of travellers who annually sojourn in Genoa. Then there are the superbly decorated medieval churches containing exquisite marble columns and historical paintings, and the incomparable Campo Santo filled with its wonderful tombs.
From Genoa to Milan is a matter of only three hours by rail.
MILAN is a good centre for Northern Italy before making the tour of the Lakes. The Cathedral is the principal attraction, with its beautiful windows illustrating the History of the Bible. The public gardens and the monumental cemetery are also worth a visit.
Between Bologna and Milan and only an hour and a half from Milan is SALSOMAGGIORE, a renowned health resort on account of its thermal springs, change trains at Borgo San Donino and in half-an-hour you are at Salsomaggiore.

Level Wooded Walks.
VENICE is a 5 hours journey by rail from Milan, and one of the most delightful places imaginable to pass a quiet stay. The total absence of vehicular traffic strikes one as very strange ; no horse, cart, carriage or bicycle is to be seen, and yet there is the sound of life at every turn. The approach to Venice from the Adriatic is unlike that of any other sea port. The town seems to be gradually, like Aphrodite, born of the sea, no hills behind, no stretches of rock, but first the tops of Campaniles appear above the horizon, then slowly the whole glittering town rises like a fairy mirage out of the calm lagoon.
Going northwards from Milan you make the tour of the beautiful Italian lakes.
COMO, the birthplace of the younger Pliny, is reached in one-and-a-quarter hours by train by way of Monza :
Boats leave Como frequently for the other towns on the lake, which is very beautiful, and the scenery on either side going up the lake is most enchanting. CERNOBBIO is a charming spot; then come Tremezzo, Cadenabbia, and Menaggio with the prettily-situated town of Bellaggio opposite. The walk from Tremezzo along the shore of the lake to Menaggio is most enjoyable. A steam tram runs from Menaggio to Porlezza on Lake Lugano in three-quarters of an hour, then steamer to Lugano in two-and-three-quarter hours.
Switzerland, the heart of Europe, has been described as "A cluster of delights and grandeurs."
LUGANO is some 20 miles from Como and reached by train in one-and-a-half hours. It has a population of 10,000 people and is charmingly situated on the Lake of Lugano, amidst lovely Italian scenery. Around it rise M. San Salvatore, M. de Caprino.and M. Generoso.
LOCARNO, may be reached by rail from Bellinzona in forty minutes. This pretty town, situated at the top of lake Maggiore has a mild climate and is an excellent winter resort. The church Madonna del Sasso, situated above the town, is worth a visit, as it contains interesting paintings, "Entombment," by Ciseri, and 'Tho Flight into Egypt,” by Bramantion.
LUCERNE—A striking picture on the Lake of Lucerne facing the Rigi and Pilatus and the snow-clad Alps.
In and around the town the walks are charming, and the excursions to be made from Lucerne by boat, rail, etc., are very numerous.
The Lake of Lucerne abounds in delightful excursions, those to the Rigi, Pilatus, Burgenstock and Sonnenberg needing a special visit each. Other excursions on the lake can be made by steamer, and the ever-changing scenery on the trip from Lucerne, to Fluelen is a source of delight to the lover of nature.
BRUNNEN, charmingly situated on the most beautiful part of the Lake of Lucerne, commands magnificent views of lake and mountain scenery. Along the Lake of Uri from Brunnen to Fluelen runs the famous Axentrasse
A delightful exeption from Lucerne is that to ENGELBERG. Take boat to Stansstad and from Stansstad it is about 1 hour and 40 min. by Electric Railway, with delightful scenery en route. The ascent of Titlis, is made from here, and the panoramic view of the Alps is grand; extending from Monte Rosa to the Black Forest, and from the Santis to the Matterhorn.
THE BERNESE OBERHAND.-INTERLAKEN a favourite summer resort and the best centre for making excursions in the Oberland, abounding in fine walks and views. There is a magnificent view of the Jungfrau from the Hoheweg, a fine avenue of walnut trees the chief resort of visitors. Interlaken is also not far from the famous waterfalls, Giessbach, Trummelbath and Staubbach. Then also the glaciers of Grindelwald and view from Murren and the Schynige Platte are sights not to be missed.
CHATEAU D'OEX. 3,500 ft above the sea on the new Electric Railway between Montreux and Interlaken, surrounded by magnificent scenery, with pure dry air. Much frequented by English people in Summer and Winter.
Many people visit Greece after wintering in Egypt, as it is so easily reached from Alexandria ; the climate in April is charming. The best steamers are those of the Khedivial Mail Co. and the Russian Steam Navigation Co.
If possible tourists should arrange to be in Athens for the Orthodox Easter in order to witness the Good Friday and Easter Eve ceremonies, and to be present at the dancing on the Easter Tuesday festival held at Megara for which a special train is run from Athens.
It is worth while to spend a few days in CORFU on account of the beauty of the scenery. There is also good snipe and quail shooting to be had.
Best Spring resort. 2,200 ft. above the sea. Every comfort.
