Icilma Fluor Cream is the only cream that contains no grease nor oil. Deliciously scented it cleanses the pores of the skin as nothing else can do, makes it pearly white, gives life to the tissues, elasticity to the muscles, and a deliciously cool feeling to the skin.
Its unique properties are due to Icilma Natural Water so that it may well be
called Nature's Skin Food and the skin requires nothing else to
give it the necessary vitality, to preserve it from sunburn, heat, cold or
the effects of hard water, to prevent and cure the minor irritations due to
overheated blood, and to preserve the youthful fresh look to which hot
climates are so fatal.
Invaluable for immediately curing mosquito and insect bites and for greatly preventing them.

While the Financial Adviser's Note on th Budget for 1907 contains nothing of a sensa tional nature, its contents are, as always, o considerable interest and value to all who tak the slightest interest in the financial an economic condition of Egypt. Certain section deserve particular attention, especially thos dealing with the cotton crop, but the mos interesting and important is that which deal with the general financial situation of th country, inasmuch as it offers an explanation of the apparent anomaly that the increasi of the Revenue estimates has failed to keep pace with the actual revenue for several year past. The surpluses have for the past threr years 1904-05-06 totalled L.E. 7,348,000, ye the revenue estimates for 1907 are L. E. 73,004 short of the actual receipts for 1905.
The Financial Adviser, after pointing ou that his Budgets would seem to have
been framed on meticulously cautious lines, points out that the situation of
Egypt is very different from that of any other civilised State. It is more
than an agricultural-it is a "one-crop" country, absolutely dependent foi
its existence on the Nile and dependent for it: wealth on the demand for its
chief product in the world's markets. Other States have many sources of
revenue. Their Governments, faced by a political or an economic crisis, have
every chance of meeting it as far as matters of finance are concerned – by
reason of the multiplicity of their resources. A light tax on the export of
coal produced millions during the Boer War and scarcely affected the
consumer. A slight addition to the excise is ain unpopular but most
lucrative measure, and a multitude of other instances can be imagined. If
one source of revenue diminishes in volume. there are always others from
which to draw Such is the rule with the majority of European states lo
Egypt, on the other hand, the principal source of revenue is the Land Tax.
derived mainly from land under a single crop. Should that crop become less
remunerative than in the past, should the soil
Under the present circumstances there is no need to apprehend any such danger. But the future may always bring startling changes ; should Egyptian cotton ever fall the recovery of the country froin what must under any con ditions be a serious blow could only be hastene'l by the present policy of moderate estimates. The Government could raise a revenue of LE. 25,000,000 from Egypt. Enormous sums were undoubtedly raised in Isnail Pasha's day, though the Treasury saw little of them in the name of the State, with the result that when the crash came long years elapsed before the country recovered from the combined effects of extravagance and over-taxation. Another reason for moderate estimates advanced by Sir Vincent Corbett is the need of capital expenditure on irrigation, railways, and harbours. In most countries loans would be raised for these remunerative undertakings, but the peculiar political situation of Egypt has made it necessary to provide the necessary funds out of the large annual surplus to which we are growing accustomed The Reserve Fund is therefore maintained by the yearly surplus revenue, a system which is economically unsound, but which has been rendered ne. cessary by political considerations. The Adviser remarks on this subject :-"The system in economically unsatisfactory as the interest that can be obtained on gilt-edged securities in which the unexpended balance of the Reserve Fund is provisionally invested is little more than 34 %. Had this money, as it was levied, been expended on remunerative works, or had it been even left in the hands of the taxpayer, it might have been employed to in. finitely better advantage, while loans incurred as they are wanted might easily be made to yield a high return, of which some 3 % to 4% would be interest on stock and the remainder clear profit."
The political events of the year are not discussed : their financial benefits are, how. ever, enumerated. We note & considerable increase of military expenditure, the permanent addition to the Budget of the increased charge for the additional British troops dispatched to Egypt during the Akaba trouble, a reduced balance available for Education and Public Works, and a considerable delay in the work of the Commission charged to prepare recommendations for improving the status of Government employés. We are none the less assured by some of the gentlemen whose literary activity has helped to bring about this state of affairs that they are actuated by the most patriotic sentiments and a desire to lift a multitude of burdens from the labouring shoulders of their countrymen. We suppose we must take them at their word. Still their patriotism has proved expensive to the world in general.
In a month's time the Alexandria Municipality will take over the Place des Consuls, and that fine site will be made an open "place" after the style of the Mohamed Aly Square. Before the massacre and bombardment the site was (wocupied by the French Consulate, but for all these years it has remained utterly neglected, excepting during the last summer, when it was rented for a considerable sum monthly as an open-air music-hall. One of the schemes pr). posed is that the electric tramway from Ramleh should have a circular line round this square, which would be a useful terminus for that line in the heart of the city. It will eventually be a very fine site. On the west side there will be a pile of Government buildings, including the Alexandria Gouvernorat and other State offices. On the east side the French Consulate is to be built. The French Consulate about four years ago agreed with the Alexandria Municipality to submit to the French Government a proposal that the site of the Place des Consuls should be exchanged for a site for the consular buildings on the quay, plus L.E. 14,000 for building a new Consulate, thus compensating the French Government for the difference in area between the two sites. After considerable delay due to formalities in passing the scheme through the two French Chambers, the French Government asked L.E. 25,000 instead of L.E. 14,000. We think that as the delay was solely due to official formalities it would have been far more dignified for the French Government not to have exacted the last pound of flesh in this bargain. Alexandria doubtless gains by having free ventilation from the sea into its very centre, but it somewhat surprises us that the French Government should make the city pay for delays for which it is in no wise responsible.

Mr. L Dow Covington celebrated Christmas in remarkable manner. This iodetatigable Egyptologist yesterday plsoed in position the first stone of the King's Ohamber south air channel extension. This is historical, for it is the first time that anybydy has placed a stone on the great structure. For 19 centuries it has been treated, more or less, as a publio quarry.
Such is the title of a very interesting little work by Mustapba Sabry, the well known engineer of Abou-el-Matamir. The second edition of this book has just made its appearanos. We can beartily recommend the work, as it contains a vast amount of information that cannot be procured elsewhere in 80 convenient form.
A fire broke out on Monday afernoon in a Greek macaroni factory in the Hay-market quarter of Alexandria owing to the accidental explosion of an engine worked by petroleom. The factory was en voloped in flames in a few minutes and soon burnt to the ground. The Fire Brigade promptly appeared on the scene and socceeded in isolating the doomed build ing. The proprietor, Mr. George Anastassion, omitted to renew his fire insorance policy, which expired eight months ago.
An American newspaper states :
"Good-bye, I'm off to the pyramida," the tired business man will be saying soon. The Egyptian Government bas given permission for the erection of botels and cottages in the vast plain which is covered with sphinxes and otber monuments if ar cient endeavor. It is said that pomerous botels are projected there and that, all around the pyramids of Gbiseb are to be built real American skyscrapers from pide to ten stories high. Land is plentifol enough in that part of the world, but the tall structure is needed, we are told, to give the bird's eye view that is sought.
The determined attitude which was taken op by the members of the local board and a large body of the Egyptiap sbarebolders at the meeting beld in Cairo last Saturday afternoon, will, it is generally considered, be tbe beginning of the end of the London board of directors of Messrs. Walker and Meimarachi, Ltd. The prospects of the company onder local manage ment would be far brighter if the board in England were got rid of and the entire direction of the company entrusted to the local direotors, who include sooh well-knowo apd esteemed gentlemen as Maitre Carton de Wiart, George Nungovich Bey, and Mr. Constantine Meima rachi. It is sincerely to be boped at the shareholders of this company will show no romingness about taking the necessary steps to be represented at the extraordinary general meeting of the company, wben the question of the modifiation of the statutes so as to admit of the abolition of the London board will be discussed. Only 80,000 shares were represented at Saturday's meeting, and it is evident that there is a considerably larger number of shares held in Bgypt. If the local shareholders grasp how vital the question at issue is they should not leave a stone unturned in their efforts to remove the board in England, which has sbown itself to be an incubus on the progress of the company. We are sure that the action of the Beyptian board in making such a stood will meet with the approval of every shareholder of the company in this jountry.

FINANCIAL ADVISER'S NOTE.
D
D
The Pinapoial Adviser, Bir Vincent Corbett makos the following preliminory remarks in his Note on the Badget :
The Budget this year presents no sensationa features and is marked by no new departure About one balf of the large addition to tb Expenditore side is fue to the inclusion fo the first time in the estimates of various item which were formerly either treated as sap plementary grants or pot included in the ac counts at all. The larger fraction of th remainder is due to the special circumstance of the year, and will e ther not be repeated, o not materially increased in the near feature.
It would be out of place here to discuss the political aspects of the events whiob took place last sommer, but the pet financial resolt ha been directly or indirectly to borden the State in the year now drawing to a close with a consider able increase of military expenditure, and to add to the Bodget of 1907 and 8 100eeding years permanent charge of L.B. 44,000 for the rein torced British Garrison, all of which will da
turally bave to be sapported by the Egyptian 1 taxpayer. It bas reduced the balanoe available
for Eduoation and Pablio Works, an i inoident ally it has cansed most regrettable delay in the work of the Commission charged to prepare recommendations for improving the statos o Government employés; lastly, it has shelved for the present any further attempt at tarif reform
But in spite of some adverse conditions the 800nomio record of Egypt during the year has been one of grea!-ven doprecedented - pros perity. The Nile flood, which was low in 1903-4-5, was this year of average and sustain ed volume, and the area of ontaxed (on "Sbarski") land has been reduced to a minimum The roling prices in cotton have been bigb money has been plentiful and trade briek.
BUDGET ESTIMATES, 1907. The figures of ordinary revende for the last years were :-- 1903 . . . . . L.B. 12,248,000 1904 . . . . . . .
13,690,000 1905 ....
14,813,000 1906 (approximate). .. , 15,200,000
If we take the last figare as approximately correot -&nd in all probability it is an ander
estimate-- he receipts for 1906, despite a re tduction of taxation amounting to L B. 332,600 t will have exceeded those of 1905 by LE 387,000.
Although there are no indications that, as long as the price of oottoo is maintained, the prosperity of Egypt has reacbed, or is even Dearing, its climax, it would be too much to bope that the prisent rate of advance can be indefinitely maintained. Following. thorefore, the prodent precedents of former years, the estimates of R-ceipts and Expenditure for 1907 as Oumpared with 1906 areas follows:
1907 Receipts ...... .. . LE 14,740,000 I. E. 18,500,000 Kxpenditure : LE
LE Ordinary. 18,157,000 14.240.000 12,317,000? i Special ... 1,088,000)
13,009,000 683.000 15.
0 00 Estimated surplus in both cases LE, 500,000
Comparing tbere figures with the estimates of 1905, whicb were :Recepto ... ... ... . ........ ...... L.E. 12,255,000 Expenditure
L.E. Ordinary
... 11,308,000 ** 147.000
L.E. 11,765,there appears a gross increase on the revende t'estimates of the two years of no less than + L.E. 2.485,000.
This increase, large though it may appear, does not bring the total estimated revenue for 1907 even op to the figure of the actual receipts for 1905, which amounted to LE 14,813,000.
The estimates of expenditure for the lagt two years were :
. . . . . . . L.B. 11,755,000 1906 . . . . . . . . 13,000 000
The actoal expenditore tor that perio iwa:
1905 . . . . . . . L.B. 12,125,000 1906 (approximate). .. 13,200,000
In the latter figure is included a sopplee mentary gradt of L.E. 245,000, being the
talance of the special credits onexpended in 3 1905, which shou'd properly bave been in tcluded in the badget 88'imates for the follow
ing year, thus making the correct figures for * 1905 1906 :--
1905.
1906. Estimated expenditure. L.E.11,755,000 L. E.13,245,000
Actual expenditure... 12,126.000 , 13,200,000 8! A forocast wh'ch places the probable grose
revenue fon 1997 at LB. 14,740,000 may Beem to ere somewbat on the side of caution It may legitimately be asked why, if tbe sor plases of 1901-5. 6 have been respectively L.E. 2,650,000,* LB. 2,6 8,000 and L.B.
2,000,000, and the enduring prosperity of of Egypt appears, boma ly spe, king, to be well i established, it should not be possible to frame
estimates nearer the margin of reasonable probab lıy. ! The reply is twild. In the first place, Egypt is on agricoltural country, primarily dependent on the Nile, whicb, in its tard, is dependent on climatic conditions, which are practically impossible to forecast, while the selling value of its principal product depends on tbe demand and supply in the world's market. Secondly Byypt stepdo is crying reed of a very large capital expenditure on socb remunerative ohjects as irrigation, railways, and barboni works. In any other country in the wild these would be provided for by loans, bot, in the pronliar ciroomstances of Egypt, soob a solo tiup presente serious difficultier. The A 8808 dem was indeed bailt at considerable sacrifice in the teeth of these difficultier, but further

The apparent surplus for 1904 was L.E. 3,030,000 but in order to arrive at an exact comparison with the following years, there should be deducted a sumo LE. 370,000 expended from the General and Specia Reserve Funds then existing, and which would now bu classed as special expenditure.
capital experditare has only been rendere porsible by the formation of a reserve fang painfally amassed from year to year from excogs revenge. This fund, though it nomipall stands at the present moment at some L. 9,009,000, is heavily earmarked for indispen able works to be carried out in the next fer years. It is tberefore imperative that, in fram ing the estimates, the atmost praden should be observed, in order that, even in moderately bad year, there should be po defici and that in good years there should be some thing to spare to feed a dwindling Reserve.
The system is economically unsatisfactory as the interest tbat can be obtained on gil edged securities, in which the Dnexpende balance of the reserve fund is provisionall invested, is little more than 31%. Had thi money, as it was levied, been expended o rem onerative works, or bad it even been left i the bands of the taxpayer, it might have bee employed to infinitely better advantage, whil loans inourred as tbey are wanted might easil be made to yield a high retard, of which som 3 % or 4 % would serve as interest on stock and the remainder be clear profit.
Tarning Dow to the estimates of expen ditore, although the gross increase in 1997; LE. 1,240,000, the figure is somewhat u oeptive. The financial conditions, which existe till 1904, made anything like a scientifio syster of accounts a practical impossibility, and i happened in some departments that expend ture was partially met out of receipts, instea of being properly brought into account. In tb budget of 19 5 and 1906 most of these anom lies were swept away, with the result, as explained at the time, of swelling the figure on both sides of the accant. This year, th work has been completed by the inolosion in the budget of the accounts of the "Boole Nationales" and "Kattabs," while the tartbe step has been taken of debiting the differen departments with the price of Governmen land required by new buildings, and tbe 008 of postage, transport and customs' daty..
The amount whiob this year figures on botl sides of the budget ander these beads is :
Booles Nationales eto. ... ... LR 160,000 Price of land* ... ... ... ... i 30,00 Departmental postage, trade
port and Customos
85,00
Total ... ... - LB. 275,000 This leaves a balance of LE 965,000, bu from this again must be deducted a somo LB 320,000, being the unexpended balano carried forward for special credits granted for 1906, which will, it is calculated, remain unexpended at the end of the year. Thes oredits would paturally lapse on Docember 31 but as the works for which they were assigned remain op finished, it would have been D60EHSA ry to re-grant them as supplementary ore dits next year. This was what was actu ally done in the case of the unexpender balances of 1905, which were re granted in January, 1906. The course now inaugurate will be followed in future budgets, and it is an ticipated that the credits anexpended in exob year will approximately balance the credit carried over from the year before, thus cecoring substantial accaraoy in the estimates
If we deduct the cost of the decendia census (L E, 35,000), the net balance left is L. Ę. 610,000 (of which L. B. 395,0 0 ordinary and L. B. 15,0.0 special expenditure) pot in itself an extravagant som, considering the Revende figures above stated,
But even here certain reservations are per missible. I have no wish ondaly to laboor the point, but it should be noted that of the above Bom about LR 123,000 is dirautly due to the peouliar circumstances which marked the early part of this year. Though this cbargo falls legitimately on revenueas a permanent and bona fide increase of exponditure. it may be hoped that, anless goforeseen ciroomstances arise, tbere will be no necessity to inoroase is to any considerable extent in fatore years.
The figures of the net administrative in crease are thus reduced to LR. 487,000 details of whicb will be found in my notes or the expenditure of the various department concerned.

Panotually at five o'clock, a large pomber of eager obildren bad assembled in the hall on the first floor, and panotually at that hour the doors of the big ball-room were thrown open. The obil tren, as they entered, were awed with admiration at the vision bafore them. A gigantio tree reaching the oeiling stood at one end of the room, it branches entwined with ropes of glittering silver, laden with coloured eleotrio lampe, while on the top soared an angel with out spread wings, and on each side of the tree two long tables were laden with nombured presents.
By balf past five, over 400 happy young folk were gathered in the large ball room and the scene was as pretty as one could wish to see, each small face beaming with delight. A most excellent boffet was laid out at the other end of the room, whilst small tables stood in the ball outside. After justice bad been done to all the good things, dancing was commenced to the strains of the hotel's excellent Tsigane band.
All the apper part of the botel gave the appearance of a large fashionable gathering of big and small. It is impossible to give names of those who were there. All our smart society was present, the ladies being most handsomely gowned. Amongst the sterner sex were offioiala, QoDegls, notables, etc.
Mr. P. R insperger, who wu8 indefatigable in his efforts to give pleaso re to each obild, is to be sincerely congratulated. The thought of having sønt such a large number of young toll happy to their respective homes will reward bim for the pains he gave himself.

Well does Luxor merit its name of "Laksor," or "El Kosoor," which signifies "The Palaces," though its ancient glory, the temple erected by Amenopbis III. and Ramses II., is likely to be eclipsed by the fatore magnificence of the new palace in its vicinity now in the course of erection. The history of the ancient temple with its dromor, obelisks and pylon, is it not written with ample detail in every guide-book and traveller's diary? The story of the latest triumph in hotel apple yet remains to be told Built within two hundred yards of the historic monument, its long wings facing close upon the river with its magnificent view, this latest addition to M. Pagoon's palaces in Upper Egypt is per baps the finest and most elaborate Ily-schemed hotel within the land of Egypt. | Pacing the river on the west the whole of the back of the building looks over the garden and fertile ground to the mountains on the East, sc that throughout the day the brilliant health giving sunshine is pouring out to the balconies and terraces in either one direction or the other. A boge oot stretched borse-sboo terrace built on culoppades makes a welcome lounge overlooking whore Nile steamers have their moorings, and double marble staircase leads to the entrance. noe-ball. The internal arrangements speak volumes for the experience of M Paging and his energetic manager, M Louis Sebaicb, the latter of whom has been so largely responsible for the 8000088 of various of the | hotels in both Luxor and Assouan.
On the basement floor in the five bar and billiard room with entrance from bottle and outside and behind it are the thousand and one
departments given over to the service of the 1 hotel. There are store-rooms and wine celları
spacious enough to stand a siege. Kitoben and butchers' shops, vegetable shops, separate soolleries, refrigerator, linen rooms, eto., ali built to Boale and in accordance with most up-to-date requirements. On the same for too, are many bedrooms and handsome sony apartments for the use of ladies' maids and valets as well as the dining room accommodation for those employed upon the staff.
The entrance hall is in the centre of the building and from it leads the wide marble staircase to the upper floors. Another large lounge leads also out of it, but well away from draught, and where it er joys the fall blaze on the sun through its enormous windows. The mosio-room and ladies' drawing room are also on this floor, the former giving op to a wide expanse of terrace at the back. The handsome restaurant with its large windows looks over the river, and the reading and waiting-rooms also have the same view and the same lox various Boglish fireplaces.
Due wing on this for is devoted to bedroom accommodation, and to every third bedroom is a most complete bath and toilette room while at the end of the long corridor is a well planned private suite of apartments, inoluding spacious entranoe ball, saloon, and three or tour good bedrooms. Similar private saitos are to be found at either end of the corridors on the upper floors, and there are two most luxurious suites for princely visitors, one over the entrance and one at the back of the hotel, both of wb job own roomy terraces and every convenience that ingenuity can suggest. Nearly all the bedrooms are provided with balconies and all the larger ones have aleo fireplaces ; and bathrooms, eto.. are most conveniently placed.
The entire hotel is surrounded by a garden, and most of the fruit and vegetables are grown upon the spot, for not only does the management supply its own requirements but also those of the various steamboats wbjob moor in its vicinity. When all is completed there will be tennis and croquet lawns included; sod in time the garden will become another vista of beauty like unto that of the adjoining Luxor Hotel, which is a riot of gorgeous colouring and sweetly scented flowers. An andexe is also being built with an engine hose to supply the electricity, and here algn will be a model dairy and laundry, besides many rooms for the European staff of the hotel, private dragomans, and so forth.
Though still in the bands of the buildere, the work of this enormous bottle, which will 1000mmodate some 200 guests, is fast approaching completion, and it is anticipated that within a fortnight the greater part of it will be ready for oooo patio. The staff is on the spot; the handsome Baglish fornitore, acres of Smyrna carpe's, and stores of lion are even now being unpacked and sorted, while the store-rooms are already replete with their varied stock of provisions.

MUSTAPHA PASHA KAMEL AT PARIS.
The following is the report of the interview whieb the Paris correspondent of the "Pall Mall Gazette" bed with Mustapha Pasba Kamel on Monday week :
Mustapha Kamel Pasba is again in Parir, staying at the Hôtel des Iles Britanniques, in the Rue de la Paix. lo view of the points raised by your Cairo correspondent as to the connection between the Khedive and this young and energetic chief of the Egyptian Nationalist movement, I thought to ask the latter for some explanation. Mastapba Pasba war, as usual, surrounded by a group of Egyptians and a French journalist or two. lo a lull in the conversation, which ranged over the world's pollution from the Chorob crisis in Prance to the Emperor William's gesture in dismissing the Reichstag, I asked : "What are your exact relations with the Khedive?' "I have no relations, either of ohio, 'fficiense,' or personal, with the Khedive," said Mustapha. "Some time ago I used to fight his Highness when he expressed such a desire or when I had something to submit to him. But, seeing that the Khedive wished to stand well with the King of Bagland and the Boglish Government, I considered it my duty to keep away from him. His ou omiss would not have hesitated to say, 'He is well with the Boglish Government and at the same time with the Bgyptian patriote, who demand the evacuation of Egypt and the performance of British engagements. I ready bed, then, to break with the Khedive, and in a conversation with him at Divonne in August, 1904, I explained to his Highness the necessity of 000 tiaging my work independently of him. It was not a defection, but an act of necessity, as gering tranquillity to the Khedive and good relations with Lord Cromer. The Pasha and the Court.
"After my return to Egypt in October, 1904, I rendered my decision public in 8 letter to the Khedive. Since theo I have never thought of approaching his Highness or of going to the Court. I consider that the National Bzyptian movement has no need of any help except from those who serve it. A man who is hungry or thirsty does not want to be encouraged to ask for meat or drink. In like mapper, the Egyptians do not need encouragement in demanding liberty and a Constitution,
"At the moment when the Khedive was in soob excellent relations with the King and the Bigli-b Government, the National movement was following its course without the least obstacle. That proves its independence and the stupid character of the calampies launched against us by our enemi3g. It is incontestable that the Khedive could only congratulate himself at the realisation of or programme, for his throne would b3 more Solid as the froe Sovereign of a free people ; bat, before all, we serve our country, and our patriotism equals in faroe and sincerity that of the English. We find that the political situation of the Khedive is already sufficiently delicate and difficult the result, and, for the safety of his throne, we ought to avoid adding to those difficulties."

"You ought to understand one thing. Since the affair of Tabab the Khedive is no longer 'persona grata' with the English. lo official circles they reproach him with not having marched boldly against the Sultan in this frontier affair, and, on the other hand, he is not forgiven for having gone to Constantinople after the difficulty was solved, and of having affirmed that nothing was changed in the real-1 tions of Egypt with Turkey.
"Then the affair with Danish wai also came to widen the breach. His Highness was much grieved that is subjects should bsvo been beaten and banged in bis dame, without the English authorities taking the trouble to ask bim it be wisbed to pardon them or not.
"Por two years in succession the Khedive has been present at a review of Boglish troops before the Palace of Abdeen, on the 'ooonsion of King Bdward's birthday: This year, in consequence of the feast of Bi Ramadan, calling bim to Alexandria, he was not able to go to Cairo for the review. This beetle was interpreted by many people as being premeditated. Por these reasons has arisen the suspicion that the Khedive bad 'secretly subventioned the Nationalist party and that he has advanced money for my new jurul. The Levantines, wtrom all Egypt regarded as intruders, have profited by the situation to make Lord Crc mer and the correspondent of the Times" believe that I have been subventioned by the Kbe dive."
Kamel Parbs referred to the fact that he had published the names of the shareholders in the "Egyptian Standard Company, whieb number thirty two! Saob publication prova, he declared the sincerity of the patriotic party. The capital of the company was L.E. 20,000. Since their aim was reform" and liberty, it was not surprising that øvory one sympathised with the movement in Egypt. No Princos Concerned.
I asked the Director of the "Bgyptian Standard" whether some of the Princes were not lengoed with his party. "Oh, no, absolutely no," be said. "I regret it, for their sokos. Not one of them concern himself with politics. Perhaps they would show themselves on the stage is Egypt had a Constitution, but, with absolute power in the hands of Lord Cromer, they may fear for their material interests."
Mustapha Kamel Pasha began to speak of the real objects of the "Egyptian Standard." It will preach the autonomy of Egypt sooh as has been recógoised by Imperial firmane and international treaties. It will claim a liberal Constitution and protest against injustice. It will aim; also, to remove the misunderstandings between Egyptians and Baropeans, will work for union, and to sustain the oppressed of any religion or nationality. The Danishwai affair and the accusation of fanaticism brought against the Egyptians has showa, Mustapha Pasha reliever, the absolute necessity for such an organ, which will be edited in English and French.
"May I ask whether your stockholders are Bgyptian or Turkisb ?"
"Our stockholders are Egyptian," said my interloontor. "They are landed proprietor, eminent lawyers, business men, and retired Government tanotionaries. A small minority are of Tarkisb origin, but they are, to day absolutely Egyptian in their sympathies. It is absurd to represent as sometimes as the friend of Turkey and sometimes as bør enemy. The
real truth is that we are Egyptians serving our "country with all our faroe."

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.
The second ordinary general meeting of the Corporation of Western Egypt, Limited, was beld on Saturday week at the registered office of the corporation, 115, Victoria Street, Westminster, London, 8. W., Major-General Sir John C. Ardagh, K.C.M.G., K.C.L.E, C.B., R. E (the chairman), presiding.
The Secretary (Mr. Alfred W. Deering F.C.I.S.) read the notice convening the meeting and the report of the auditore.
The Chairman said : In rising to move the adoption of the report and accounts now in your bands. and wbpcb, I presume, you will accept as read, I will express to you my true that the confidence hitherto accorded the board may continue to be reposed in it now that i has been enlarged by the inclusion of myself and Mr. Dames Longworth, very large shareholder, who has had great experience in the management of landed estates, and who's on nails I have no doubt will prove of great value to us in the management of the affairs of the corporation. 'l be success attendant upon the promotion of land companies in Egypt is one of the most striking of recent financial phenomena ; but I beg you to note that, where As most of these companies—even the most successful have paid a heavy price per feddan for the acquisition of their lande, we, on the other hand, being early in the field, have secured our immense grants, aggregating no lewe than 600,000 foddans of cultivable land, at a price which, even if we omit altogether the important railway and mineral rights also included in the purchase prior, does not work out at more than 68. 7d. per fedda. In other worde, bad we been capitalised on the same basis as the companies I refer to the necessary capital would have ran into many millions of poonde A glance at our balance sheet will show that the cost of our lands being almost a nominal amount per fedden, we have been able to devote large sums to railway construction, and 80 secare a tangible asset of very great valoo-, value greatly enhanced by the Government guarantee of interest in connection with it. I think you must have felt, in reading the report, that an eminently satisfactory amount of work has been affected during the year under review. The main difficulties of construction of the railway, which is so vitally Necessary for the purpose of placing oor extensive lands within easy reach of the Nile Valley, have been-800ce sfolly surmounted, and a very rapid rate of construction may now be looked for. Indeed, when the manufacturers have given delivery of the sleepers for use in connection with the rails already on the spot, and there have been leid, only rome 15 kilomètres (less than 10 miles) will require to be covered in order to arrive at the oasis itself. The balance of the permanent way material will go forward early in the new year, and we may confidently assume that within a few months the line will completely laid. As you are aware, all the rolling stock, with the exception of the passenger coachee, bas already been delivered, the total sum actually spent on railway construction being close upon £100,000.
You will realise that the necessary railway expenditure is well laid out when
you reflect upon the importance of the line in its bearing upon the lands op
in process of development. This completion of the railway will render their
lands saleable at prices which should give an immense return upon the
capital ex: pendedama retro, too, practically assured when the oasis is
removed by the railway and sales of the now lands are commenced. You have,
doubtless, read with interest the statement on land values made by Mr.
Beadnell and printed at the end of the report. This statement, based upon
expert knowledge, shows that we had greatly underrated the saleable value of
the lande. He gives, as a confervative estimate, the value of the first
class land at £30 £10 an acre, and £15 per acre and upwards to the
remainder. The cost of irrigation Under normal conditions will be some £5
per feddan, and the difference between the cost of irrigation and the price
of sale will be the pet profit to the corporation. Our lands, are you are
aware, are irrigated by artesian water, of which there is an abundant
supply, and their valpe, both for coreal props in general and for
cotton-growing in particular, has been sufficiently evidenced by the
operations of the past season, the operations having conclusively

Our general expenditure from the time of the ipoeption of the corporation, less recipe, shows the modest sum of about £6,000 only to be written cft prior to the declaration of a dividend-a figure of comparative insignificance when the revenue 30000 DE is opened in the near future since it is probable that the sale of one year's grants may repay the whole of the paid up capital of the corporation. This remark brings me to thy fievel item of our assets, the amount of cash, which, if we include with it the final call shortly becoming payable, shows or total cash resources a little
oder £10,000. Naturally, as oar railway and land development work has progressed, the board have given careful consideration to the matter of the issue of further capital and I may take you into our oo fidence and inform you that they consider the time almost ripe for making this issue in the best interests of the corporation, and consider there is every prospect of the 1980e being attended with complete success. They trust to perfect their arrangements for this 1980e very early in the new year, meantime pressing on the work of construction as rapidly as possible. To som op the situation, I may describe your affsirgia, being in a most promising ag condition, with every prospect of terminating with more than ordinary promptitude that initial stage inseparable from the conduct of operations of this magnitude, and we have every reason to believe that the financial reward to 08-Isay ng because the board are, I think I may say, individually as interested as any persons in the 8000089 of this undertaking, bonding between them many thousands of shares – the financial reward to us will be fally equal to our expectations, and will amply justify our mutual confidence in the enterprise. I unfi de atley trust that when next we meet you this happy stage in our corporate existence will have arrived. I beg to move the adoption of the report and accounts.
Toe Hop. W. T. O'Brien seconded the motion
Questions have been asked with reference to the price of the fatare i8gne, the agreements with the vendors and others,
Mr. Heatoo-Armstrong, M.P., the chairman of th: 048es Syndicate, stated that the nos shares would be issued shortly, and that the Oasis Syndicate, which bad met the corporation in a very liberal manner, bsd voluntarily fire gone all rights to their call of the present com the company's capital at par, and that, consequently, the whole premium of the new i8gne would go into the direct b9efit of the corporation. This, it was hoped, would make the forthoom ng 1880 e as big a 9003899 as the original issue, which was subscribed several times over.
The motion was ourria i unanimously.
The Hon. W. T. O'Brien and Mr. E. Man ville were re-elected directors and Messrs. W. B. Peat and Co. were appointed auditors. :
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the proceedings.

HELIOPOLIS.
The Belgian Government has sent the well kNown Egyptologist, M. Capart to Egypt to make investigations at Heliopolis. Th. tion of the mission is probably to find the necropolis of sacred animals, the site of which is unknown. For the researebes made thus far there have not proved altogether satisfactory, possibly because they were incomplete. Pi-Ra, or Oo, was the Egyptian name of Heliopolis, which was a Greek translation. The pity which Surrounded the temple stood a little to the north or Marieb ; the obelisk, still standing, is a vestigo of it, and the square of ruins around are supposed to mark the bulwarks of the city. The temple of Rs was the most spoient and most celebrated ; the earliest Pharaohs built, road thither; and their departure from Memphis was signalled to the priests by a beacon fire, on the wall of the capital, which was reposted by a wateber on the Mokattam hille-the first known practical 080 of telegraphy, several thousand years before the Bioge of Troy.
The temple, whieb Herodotus describes and Strabo mentioned, was enlarged by successive Pharaohs, like that of The 98. It was approached by an avenue of sphinx rand till the 18th century there was a sphinx of rod granite, but this has disappeared. The obelisks have also departed. One stands on the Hippodrome of Constantinople, another adorne Reme, that which remains at Heliopolis boars the cartopobe of Operation, and is 4,700 years old. The temple probably suffered by the Hyksos invasion, out of many others, Cam. buses giving it the coup de grace by burning it. When the Child Jesus flag thither 865 idols were said to have fallen into the dust. Bat what tended more than anything else to obliterate it was the one the neighbouring villages made of it as a quarry.
The god to be first worshipped at Heliopolis was Atama, the sun b.fore its rising, then came the worship of R2, the body of the sun, Aton, the solar disorder, and Sba, son of Rs. Apie was also adored, as also the ball Maevis, the incarnation of Bs.
The Phoenix, flying thither every five hundredth year, alighted on a pyre of myrrh and fragrant wood, to rise again on the third day, and go Bast.
The importance of the college of priests of Heliopolis was due to their profound knowledge of astronomy, that formed 80 large part of Egyptian religion-, knowledge which surprises even modern scientists. The fame of Heliopolis went beyond Egypt and among others who came thither to seek wisdom was Plato.
Mapetho, the historian to whom we owe the table of the Bgyptian King, was a priest of Heliopolis. The discovery therefore of the necropoli of the priests and of the ball Movie is of utmost importance. Professor Sciaparelli has been long engaged in attempting to solve this problem, but no more than two empty sarcophagi ot the ball Mnevis have been around.
Lieutenant G. B. Hobart, York and Lan. caster Regiment, has been formally seconded for service with the Khedive's Army. He joined the York and Lancasters in August, 1900, and for a considerable time was attached to the Chinese Regiment at Wei-bai-wei.
Lieutenant E. W. Macdonald, King's Own Scottisb Borderers, has been promoted to the rank of captain, vice Mayor S. Campbell Johnstop, promoted. Captain Macdonald was appointed to "my Vuole 'lobby's" old regiment in May, 1898, and served with the let Battalion in the Kharki War, including the operations in Orange Free State, the actions of Paardeberg, Poplar Grove, Karree Siding. Vet River, Zand Riveri; in the Transvaal, the actions of Johannesburg, Pretoria, Zilikat's Nek, Vlak Ton tien, and other affairs east and west of the Transvaal capital (Queen's medal with three clasps, King's medal with two clasps).
Over a dozen subalterns of the Army Service Corps have just received their triple stars, amongst them being Lieutenant P. R. Napier, who has been latterly stationed at Khartoum. Captain Napier entered the Scottish Rifles a few months before the outb:the outbreak of the Boer War, and was attached to the Army Service Corps in the campaign of 1901-02, and was transferred to the latter corps at the convolution of the war (Queen's modal with two olarp ).
One of the most extraordinary features of the present administration is the deferring of shipbuilding until the Hague Conference meets t otter its well-woro platitudes. If the counsel of the Cor ference come to bought, England will fios herself lamentably behind in war ship building, owing to the fact that Germany, our future low, and France, not to mention Roggia, are feverishly parking on their schemes. That the efficiency of our first, and practically ruly line of defence sboa'd await on the delibera ios of an irresponsible body is in itself a condemnation of the policy pursued by the Government in the name of economy.

"The Egyptian Gazette" Series is the most artistic collection to be found in Egypt.
"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 shewing 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 14 days. The short ones are as follows:—
The steamers of the P.& O., the Egyptian Mail S.S,. Co., North German Lloyd, Orient, and Messageries Maritimes are the largest. The Anchor, British India, Bibby and Henderson 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 ½ 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 quickest through Continental routes are by P.& O. Brindisi express from Port Said, by the Egyptian Mail S.S. Co., from Alexandria to Marseilles 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 Egyptian Mail S.S. Co., have also made arrangements whereby luggage can be collected and sent to any address.
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.

Telegraphic Address: Central Salsomaggiore.
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 ; here 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 Domino and in half-an-hour
you are at Salsomaggiore.

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.
THUN (on the Lake of Thun) half an hour from Berne and one hour from Interlaken. Quiet and quaint; sheltered from winds; just the place to rest and recuperate. Beautiful walks, through woods, and along the lake shore. Kursaal, Concernts, Casino, Races, Tennis, Boating, etc.
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.
ZURICH on the Gothard route. Direct communication with Northern Europe. Largest town in Switzerland, beautifully-situated on the lake of Zurich. Theatres. Big Concern Halls. Boating on the lake. Excellent schools. The National Museum.
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.
LIDO (Venice) VENICE
From Venice or Lido, charming trip on the lagoon, 12 min. by steamboat. CLIMATIC STATION AND SEA BATHS, WITH CHINESITHERAPIC INSTITUTE. Express between the station and Lido for the Hotels.

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--
VITAL STRENGTH & ENERGY
to throw off these morbid feelings, and experience proves that as night succeeds the day this may be more certainly secured by a course of the celebrated life-reviving tonic
THERAPION No.3
than by any other known combination. So surely as it is taken in accordance with the printed directions accompanying it, will the shattered health be restored,
THE EXPIRING LAMP OF LIFE LIGHTED UP AFRESH,
and a new existence imparted in place of what had so lately seemed worn-out, "used up," and valueless. This wonderful medicament is purely vegetable and innocuous, is agreeable to the taste —suitable for all constitutions and conditions, in either sex; and it is difficult to imagine a case of disease or derangement, whose main features are those of debility, that will not be speedily and permanently benefited by this never-failing recuperative essence, which is destined to cast into oblivion everything that had preceded it for this wide-spread and numerous class of human ailments.
THERAPION
is sold by the principal Chemists throughout the world. Price in England, 2 9 and 4/6. Purchasers should see that the word 'THERAPION' appears on British Government Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every package by order of His Majesty's Hon. Commissioners, and without which it is a forgery.
Sold by E. Del Mar, Alexandria, Cairo & Port Said
are an unfailing and reliable remedy for diseases of these important organs, gout, rheumatism, gravel pains in the back and kindred ailments (acquired or constitutional).

Medical, antiseptic, used and recommended by eminent dermatoligists in the
treatment of ecsema, lepers, psoriasis, ulcerations, skin eruptions, itching

healing properties greatly minimize the inconveniences of shaving in cases
