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.

In a leading article on the growing prosperity of Egypt shown in the note of Sir Vincent Corbett, the "Manchester Courier" says: The strongly-worded expressions of satisfaction with the economie record of Egypt during 1906 will be a cause of general satisfaction. In particular, we are glad to note his reference to the large amount of the cotton crop and his opinion that the estimate of next year's surplus of revenue over expenditure at over half a million sterling is a cautious one, Commenting on tho startling fact that since 1900 the relation of exports to imports has changed from an excess of three-and-a-half millions to the very reverse, Sir Vincent Corbett says that "even if these figures imply that Egypt has been paying for her imports with funds advanced by the foreign capitalist, there is nothing necessarily alarming in the fact, so long as the capital in question is employed for the purpose of remunerative enterprise." This is a valuable caution in view of the fact that since the financial controversy turned every man into a political economist, each amateur of the science has the strong feeling that no nation can be prosperous whose imports exceed its exports--an economic generalisation which requires, like every other economic dictum, to be qualified in view of any particular case. Thus in Japan the gold borrowed during the war has been the cause of unexampled energy in business, Increased capital enables industries for which the country offers natural facilities to be developed to their utmost extent, easily paying the interest on what has been borrowed. In the case of Egypt it is the development of cotton-grow. ing that has attracted the additional capital, four million exported from England in October to pay for the crop being responsible for the excess of imports over exports, and incidentally for the rise in the Bank of England rate. Egypt's demand for gold is an annual occurrence. rence, as there is an extreme reluctance on the part of the native cultivator "to accept anything but actual coin in payment of his cotton" and Sir Vincent Corbett's caution is extremely valuable since a combination of other circumstances having necessitated the rise of the Bank rate to 6 per cent. men's attention was drawn to the state of Egyptian finance, with the result that apprehension was expressed in some quarters. Sir Vincent Corbett accordingly: emphasises the fact that "the recent demand was a purely trade demand, and was in no way connected with the financing of speculativo operations." When we remember that there has been a rapid increase, of late years, in the prosperity of Egypt it is likewise permissible to hope that the pessimism in estimating next year's revenue will not be justified. The cotton crop, which is of the utmost importance to this country as well as to Egypt, still depends very much on the vagaries of the River Nile, and it is urgently necessary that large sums bo rendered available for the construction of irrigation and other public works. It is accordingly, particularly to be deplored that the Denshawai Incident of last year has rendered necessary a permanent charge of nearly fifty thousand pounds a year for the reinforced British.

To anyone who is in any way interested in any part of Africa, the "African World Annual" for 1906, published by our live contemporary the "African World" at the modest price of 2s., is well nigh indispensable. Every part of this vast continent finds a place in this bulky publication, and one of the most prominent is Egypt, which has many interesting and instructive articles devoted to it, accompanied by numerous excellent illustrations. Indeed, "Egypt in 1906"'is one of the special features of a work which is oram full of notable contributions of the most up-to-date character. A large portion is concerned with South African mining, about which readers will find much exceedingly useful information, but in the 300 odd pages which the annual containing space is found for dealing effectively with every portion of Africa. The get-up and illustrations are simply superb, and Mr. Leb Weintbal and Mr. J. Hartley Knight, the editors, are to be congratulated on what is altogether a remarkable achievement. The publishing offices are at Bourne House, 34, Copthall avenue, London, E.C. ..

The native press is still occupied with the doings of Mr. J. M. Robertson, M. P., who slept at Burma on Sunday and was yesterday at Jantah. "Al Abram '' says :Mr. Robertson, M.P., is travelling in Egypt as a private gentleman. Every Egyptian is yearning to see him, and is eager to offer every possible service relative to the object he has in view. But he is studying the conditions of this country alone, undisturbed by the controversies of the newspapers or the selfish aims of other people. When the Egyptian pronounces the name of Robertson 'a happy smile can be seen playing around his lips. If we cannot approach this M P., in order to bring our complaints to him, fearing lest the useful aims which he has in view will thereby be booked, we can nevertheless tell the English that we love and esteem Mr. Robertson, for the Egyptians do not dislike the English, but they do dislike to see some of their officials attacking the sentiments of the natives in England, where Egyptian public opinion and aspirations are held of no account. The Egyptians respect Mr. Robertson not because he has promised to remove the British Occupation from the Nile Valley, nor because he can counter to his conntrymen's opinions, but because he showed his great sympathy for Egypt in the House of Commons, and his conviction is that the people of Egypt hold opinions and possess rights which should not be trampled on. The Egyptians like Mr. Robertson because he has spoken the truth. The Anglo-Egyptian here could have been similarly esteemed by the natives if only they had adopted the same policy as Mr. Robertson. The Egyptians I will never be content with the Occupation as long as they remain Egyptians. When the occupants of Egypt consider the natives as the real owners of Egypt then they will be esteemed by the natives. The nation I will never forget its political rights, however much it may owe to the occupants for their improvement in the financial state of the country. Egypt wants to be independent.

Saleh Pasha Sabet, President of the Native Court of Appeal, Cairo, has finally tendered his resignation, and will shortly retire on pension. His successor has not yet been nominated, but some native counsellors of the same Court are offering themselves for the post.
For a man who is no longer young, M. Saint-Saeil, who has just arrived at Cairo, continues to display a praiseworthy activity. He only returned to Paris on Thursday week from New York, and at once started off to Egypt. He stayed forty-eight hours in Paris, and spent most of that time answering letters, which so tired him that he was too fatigued even to go to the Opera to see "Ariane," Massanet's last chef d'ænvre. The veteran composer will be in Egypt for a few weeks' well earned repose. At the end of February he is in Monte Carlo to superintend the production of "Timbre d'Argent," and a month later he will return to Paris. He is very much pleased with his recent tour in America. President Roosevelt gave him a charming reception, and in all the large cities he was delighted to find audiences who loved music-especially French music--and who listened to it with a soul and with religion. Shortly after M. Saint Saens left Havre on his way to New York, he was taken so ill with an angina that at one time grave fears were entertained as to the result. During his stay in Cairo he will be the guest of Prince Mohamed Aly Pasha.
The "Journal du Caire," apropos of a report that five persons were recently bitten by a mad dog, remarks: -"We cannot leave unnoticed the marked inefficiency of the system employed by the authorities for the elimination of stray dogs. We have several times observed veritable packs of pariah dogs wandering about the streets, and scattered 'units' are to be met with constantly. We should like to call the attention of the authorities to this subject and hope that the Government will control the service better, the more so since we have received numerous complaints on the subject."
We hear on good authority that arrangements are being made to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of Egyptian Estates, Limited, in order to authorise the issue of £2,000 000 mortgage bonds. The issue would be made in London, Paris, and Brussels.
In the event of this issue being carried through it would assure a very handsome extra dividend on the ordinary shares and a great increase for the distribution on the deferred shares, making the ordinary shares worth up to £4 and the deferred shares about £40.
Two million pounds, costing five per cent, and earning at least seven per cent., would bring in a surplus profit of £40,000 per annum, which, divided between, ordinary and deferred shares in the proportion of two-thirds to one third, would be equivalent to an extra five per cent. On the five hundred thousand ordinary shares and about at a supplementary value of twelve shillings on the deferred shares.
Rumours are afloat of the formation of a great tobacco trust by four of the leading cigarette manufacturers of Cairo. It is said that the firm of Nestor Gianaclis has refused to combine.
The Egyptian Economical Residences Company has been registered under Egyptian law for the purpose, as stated in its prospectus, of placing cheap dwellings at the disposal of the urban populations of Egypt and the Sudan ; and for that end acquiring lands or buildings in Cairo, Alexandria, and other localities of Egypt and the Sudan ; constructing dwelling houses economically ; leasing or re selling them, even for payment by installments ; reselling or leasing lands skirting the buildings, etc. The capital of the company is L.E. 100,000, divided into 25,000 shares of L.E. 4 each, all of which have been subscribed by the promoters in the following proportions :-M Paul Oziol, 7,000 ; M. Loutfi Ayront Bey, 6,300 ; M. Joseph J. Jabès, 5,400; t M. Victor Khalifa Naggar, 2,000 ; M. Halimi Camel-Toueg, 1,000 ; M. Selim Ayroat, 2,300 ;| . M. Jacques Ezri, 1,000.

Mr. Holland, managing director of the United Egyptian Lands, Limited, is arriving at Alexandria at the end of this month. Important and profitable business in connection with this company is awaiting his attention.
The Servian Government has decided to establish a Consulate General and Diplomation Agency at Cairo, and to appoint to it M. Savanovich, now Chargé d'Affaires at Athens.
It has also decided to establish a consular agency at Alexandria, and has appointed thereto M. Gyzel, merchant.
The vigorous measures taken by Mr. F. Marrell Wright, Gharbieh district traffic superintendent of the Delta Light Railway, in cooperation with the police, have resulted in the recovery of the cash safe stolen from a train No. 67 on Sunday evening. The native traffic supervisor, Sadik Bscarone, noticed some suspicious tracks yesterday about midway between the stations of Barmah and Mehallet Morbowe, and on these being followed up, the party were led to a heap of manure, where the P stolen safe was found concealed. The actual finder was a private detective. It contained about £170 and had not been opened, the thieves having evidently hurriedly deposited their booty with the intentions of afterwards retrieving it. Up to the present they have not been identified.

Correspondence has passed recently between the British Chamber of Commerce of Egypt and Lord Cromer on the subject of the acceleration of the Indian mails. It is satisfactory to note that his Lordship has kindly consented to move in the matter. Writing to Lord Cromer on the 9th December last, Mr. H. P. Kingham, president of the Chamber, said : "At the request of my committee, I have the honour to draw your Lordship's attention to the question of the transit of the Indian mails through Egypt. The chief obstacle pot forward in the past against the transit overland from Alexandria to Suez was the risk of inconvenience by quarantine-especially at Suez-owing to the frequency of plague or cholera in India. It is, however, well recognised, especially since the Anglo-French agreement, that the imposition of quarantine is much less frequent, and less severe, than was the case in years past. Further, it has become a custom in Europe, on occasions, to run trains in quarantine through an entire country. This, my committee suggests, could be done in Egypt, and that obstacle, therefore, has not the importance that it had formerly.
"My committee desires to emphasise the gain in time in the delivery of mail that would be affected by the overland transit. The mail steamer from Brindisi now reaches Port Said each Wednesday morning by boat. 6 o'clock. The same steamer could reach Alexandria, owing to the shorter voyage, at about 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening. As the Egyptian Railways run on to the quays at Alexandria, a train could be waiting alongside ready to receive mail and passengers ; the latter would then be carried directly to Suez, reaching there at an early hour on Wednesday morning. The mails would thus be put on board the East going steamer at Suez at the same time that they are now put on board the same steamer at Port Said. By this means, India and the Far East - would have their mails expedited by the adoration of the steamer's passage through the Suez y Capel, which represents some 24 hours.
The gain to Egypt would be as follows: In Cairo, at present, the mails are delivered some time on Wednesday afternoon, whereas if dispatched from Alexandria they would be distributed by the first delivery on Wednesday morning. In Alexandria, the mails now arrive at about 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening, and are distributed by the first delivery on Thursday morning, whereas if landed on Tuesday, evening they would be distributed by the first delivery on Wednesday morning : a full 24 hours could thus be gained by the commercial community in Alexandria.
The commerce of Alexandria (which means the greater part of the commerce as of the whole of Egypt) has become so extensive and important that acceleration of the mails would be of considerable activity.
"My committee gratefully recognises the efforts which your Lordship has made comparatively recently in the above matter, but, at the same time, ventures to hope that you may see the expediency of re-opening the question."
To the above communication Lord Cromer b replied :
"I am receipt of your letter of the 19th instant on the sobject of the transit of the mails through Egypt. I propose to send this communication to London. I may, however, remark that when this question was fully examined some while ago, my impression is that It was found that taking into account the delays which would be caused by an addition transhipment of the mails, the saving of time would be a good deal less than 24 hours."
ERNEST H. CROSBY.
Mr. Ernest H. Crosby, whose death was announced last week, was born in 1856, and was the son of the Rev. Howard Crosby, the well-known Presbyterian minister of New York. In 1887 he became a member of the New York Assembly, but in two years became disgusted with politics, and was in 1889 nominated by President Harrison and appointed by the Khedive American Judge of the International Tribunal of First Instance at Alexandria, ln 1894 he resigned, and on his way home came under the influence of Count Tolstoy, with whom he stayed for some time and continued in frequent correspondence. On his return to America he bought an estate-Grasmere-alto Rhinebeck, on the Hudson River, and carried out as far as possible his Tolstoyan ideas by profase and perhaps indiscriminate charity to any and every one who appealed to him. He identified himself with socials in reform and the Anti Imperialist League, advocating both in speeches and in numerous publications almost anarchical principles with a geniality which disarmed criticism but never concealed his absolute Sincerity and his intense humanitarian sympathie. At the time of the Cleveland Message on the Venezuelan question he estranged many friends in America by his violent protests in support of England, and a few years later he used language as strong to denounce England's action in South Africa. He was a man of extremes, but every wild opinion he professed was based on the highest motives, and in every little act he practised what he preaches. He declined to insure his life because he said, "If I die young I defraud the company ; if I live long they defraud me. It is betting in its most aggravated form." Mr. Crosby married Fanny. a daughter of Mr. H. F. Schefilio, of New York, who, with a son and a daughter, survives him.
"LA DANNAZIONE DI FAUST."
It is hard to understand that, despite novelties and surprises it presented, Berlio beautiful obed-d'ænvre enjoyed but scant favour for many years after its first production; its many and sublime qualities have since found their justification in more than a quarter of a century's unstinted praise. If there is too great a penchant toward the spectacular, thus to a certain extent limiting scope for individual effort, there is more than ample compensation in the colour, the passion, the grace, the humor with which work is conceived. It is remarkable what variety of subject-matter has been employed and with what harmonious contrast it has been blended. There is the famous Hungarian march, perhaps the most striking number of the opera, and certainly, last night, the be executed; there is the church choir; the lusty drinking songs; the delicate ballet; the Latin chorus, which should have been sung by students and not soldiers : they cannot all be Dick Steeler; then follows the quaint ballad of the King of Thule at length the whirling finale. It is a wealth, a breadth, a sincerity of music that well-nigh baffles description Happily, the rendering last night was in the main extremely good; it was as if far. greater pain had been taken then at any previous production, and the result must have been gratifying to those responsible therefore The front fell upon Sig. Zacconi, who led his orchestra with considerable spirit and earned for them. The chorus too showed a marked improvement and surpassed the most sanguine expectations ; they were, so to speak, trained to the mivat and sang with correctness and an aplom which were most commendable. We cannot say as much for the principals. Sig. Marouli (Faust) was colourless and his voice lacked timbre, nor was Signor Berriel's singing very "simpatico," but his Mefistofele wa handicapped by Sig. Walter's recent achievement. Signa. Grisi made a credible Margherita, but she has an ominous tremolo. The rapture with which the ballet was hailed was quite disproportionate to its merite, though 'twas well enough executed, and the "Silfi Volanti' ' exceeded in looking pleasant and obviously trying. Considerable pain was evidently given to the setting, but the end far from justified the means : one of the waits lasted well beyond half an hour, and we are bound to say the forbearance of the house was more to be pitied than admired. For ourselves, the opera's title afforded us a refuge.
("AL Waran.")
I remember him as inspector of the Daïra Senieb. He took with him on his provincial trips a fine black beard-since removed. I remember him well as he talked of the charms of Paris on the platform of Malawi station. Its best cafe, in his opinion, was the Café Américain, but you should visit it after 1 a.m. I remember the occurrence right well for later on he acquired a reputation for intelligence. He advanced rapidly under Government, though his family did not benefit, for his integrity was above proof. All the Copts regarded him as the man of the future, and when he was made a Pasha, Gallini-a high functionary at the Ministry of Finance-was the man of the day, everyone's man, everyone's favourite barring " Al Lewa." The other papers flattered him, but "Al Lewa" attacked him furiously ; indeed, no one has ever been more violently assaulted by "Al Lawa": than Gallini Pasha (except Arabi Pasha the present Ministers, Sayed El Bakri, Sheikh Ali Youssef, Risz Pasha, Skander Pasha Fehmy, the owners of "Al Mokattam," the Syrians and Baropeans, Lord Cromer, and M. Hanotaux). But how in the world did he become a friend of Mustapha and a founder of his company? The problem is amazingly hard to solve. Some pretend that, like Payek Pasha, Haris Pasha, and Ferid Bey, Gallini Pasha, once out of office, forgot all but vengeance. The English baye dropped him, and so be pardong Mostapha for his little Daughtinesses and seeks to turn the tables on those wretches, the occupants But I cannot believe this explanation, for he is A very paragon of amiability and-gallantry No Egyptians has a better taste in dress and parfemy for he is an expert in the recognition of the charms of the European fair. Daring pure brief winter you will infallibly see him with one or two of these charming creatures. He offers them bouquets, amuses them, shows them the sights of Cairo. He thus proves his perfect knowledge of European civilisation. So I am muoh surprised to find him in Mustapha' company. He should have spent the money on saying bouquets for the charming denized of Shepheard's. That would have been fa nora reasonable, for, while pleasant feminine society is the ornament of life that every man of sentiment should long for, the "Egyptian Standard" is a tax upon the patience of the most long-suffering.

Lord Lanesborough, who has arrived in Egypt to resume duty with his regiment, the 3rd Coldstreams, was known as Lord NewtownButler before he succeeded his father as seventh Earl in September last year. He comes of a fighting stock, and be is married to a soldier's daughter, Lady Lanesborough, who became his wife sixteen years ago, being the | eldest daughter of that fiue old warrior the | late Major-General Sir Henry Tombs, who won the Victoria Cross before Dalbi. Io the four. teenth century the Battlers were equires 'st - Waresley, in Huntingdonshire, but the family settled in Ireland in the reign of James The -first Lord Lanesborough, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod and colonel of the Battle Axe Gaards in Ireland, had no less than twenty three children by the same wife, but only five Survived infancy, and the eldest of these was raised to the dignity of an earldom just 160 1 years ago.
Both Lord and Lady Lanesborough are popular, and they will be a welcome addition to the English colony at Cairo. Lady Lanesborough has three children, Lord Naw. ton-Batler, who will be fourteen in May, and two daughters, the elder of whom was fifteen last month. Besides Lanesborough Lodge in county Cavan, Lord Lanesborough hasan English seat, Swithland Hall, in Leicestershire.

It is officially stated that, despite the famine expenditure of 80,000,000 roubles, the surplus for 1906 amounts to 213,000,000 roubles, 158,000,000 of which wipes out the deficit of 1906. It is estimated that the deficit of 1907 will amount to 297,000,000 roubles, of which 55,000,000 will be coverable by the surplus of 1906, and the rest by new loan. The estimates include 124,000,000 roubles, which go towards the cost of the Japanese war, and 1,000,000 for famine relief. (Reuter)

THE CAPITULATIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE"
Sir, -In yesterday's issue of the "Egyptian, Gazette" I noticed the following suggestive piece of information :
At its last meeting the Committee of the Italian Chamber of Commerce discussed the proposals of the Earl of Cromer relating to the suppression of the Capitulations. Al proces verbal of the meeting was subsequently drawn up and forwarded to the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Chamber, while recognising the good work accomplished by Great Britain in Egypt, is unfavorable to change the status quo, as it considers that in their present state the natives are unfit to be entrusted with the security of foreigners in the country.
Assuming that this information is correct it must be inferred that it would have been wiser policy on the part of the Italian Chamber of Commerce to attach a proviso to their conclusion. Every European in Egypt would view with horror and dismay the prospect of handing over to the native authorities the legal rights and privileges be possessed in virtue of the Capitulations. But in Lord Cromer's report for 1904 he suggested that "the Powers should transfer to Great Britain the legislative foundations they now collectively possess." There is therefore no need for Europeans to fear that their legal rights will be placed at the tender mercies of the native, and the action of the members of the Chamber would have been wiser if they had inserted a stipulation to the effect that provided Great Britain would give a guarantee of the permanent nature of her occupation of Egypt they would be willing to reconsider their decision. If, as Lord Cromer says, Great Britain absorbs the Capitulations or, in other words, if the Capitulations are vested in the occupying Power, that would be an excellent solution. But both the English and foreign members of the European community in Egypt are perfectly justified in asking Great Britain to declare the permanency of her position here, and I maintain that until Great Britain does so no person who now enjoys the privileges of the Capitulations, will be willing to transfer them to that Power. This is the crux of the situation, for the only valid reason why we should agree to forego the rights we now possess in virtue of the Capitulations, is that in exchange for our so doing the occupying Power should formally notify the Power having Capitulations that her occupation of Egypt is to be henceforth considered permanent and that all these Powers concur in the permanency, of her position in Egypt. There is no other solution to the difficulty, and I venture to state that my opinion is shared by every European, Englishmen included, with whom I have discussed the subject I am, etc.
THE SERVANT QUESTIONS IN EGYPT
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE."
Sir, --The letter from "An Old Resident" calls attention to a serious and growing evil, which I, and doubtless a number of other residents, would like to see remedied. The present difficulty in obtaining honest and satisfactory servants is not confined to the humbler and less effluent members of the European community, but is experienced also, though in a less degree, by those households who are ready to pay higher wages. The servants, however, have become so exorbitant in their demands, and the majority of them are so incompetent, that I think most of the residents would be glad to see some early steps taken to obviate those difficulties.
I quite agree with all the remarks of "An Old Resident" as to the worthlessness of the existing so-called registry offices, which Government authorities may be satisfied with as a solution of the question, but which in no sense satisfy the public, who endeavour to engage their servants through the nears of these offices. As a rule, as your correspondent says, the scum of the servant class are offered for engagement, and frequently, if one is obtained who can fulfil his duties in a possibly satisfactory manner, the sheikh of the registry office trades on him by inducing him to leave one place to go to another, and so increase his registration fees.
The scarcity also of available satisfactory servante annually becomes greater owing to the increasing influx of residents of all nationalities, including wealthy relatives, into the towns of Cairo and Alexandria and the difficulties experienced by trusted servants whom one sends in search of another to replace a servant discharged or who leaves of his own accord, proves that the demand is far greater than the supply. The large number of hotels also employ a considerable percentage of those available, and do not experience the same troubles, as servants, owing to the lavish tipping system, generally prefer a winter hotel engagement and an idle summer to regular employment in a household.
I fear I have not much hope of a solution of the question in the anggestion of "An O.d Resident" to petition the Government to establish an official registry office, as such questions are usually considered one of secondary importance and receive but scanty and tardy attention, though, of course, if a sufficiently powerful and urgent movement were organized, it might in a measure attain the desired results. The fact remains, however, that the supply is unequal to the demand.
I should like, however, to see such a movement made, in the hopes of the establishment of an official Government registry office properly organized for native servants.
I would, though, make a further suggestion, the success of which would probably be more easily and sooner realized, and that is that the European residents should support a scheme to introduce Goanese servants, I have no personal experience of them, beyond those I have seen employed on the passenger steamers, but I am given to understand by those who know them that most are excellent servants, the results of generations of training, the supply is very large, and the wages less exorbitant than those now prevailing here. A registry office could easily be established in Cairo and Alexandria under the superintendent of suitable managers, with a reliable correspondent in Bombay to select and send over as many as are required. By this means the resident would know where to turn when a servant was wanted, and would obtain one of much more experienced and satisfactory nature, -I am, etc.,
Alexandrie 10 Janvier 1907.
Monsieur le Directeur, J'ai la, dans votre numéro da 7 Janvier, are longue lettre d'en négociant de la ville, relative au projet de Canal exécuter entre la note de Gabbari au Mex et Nouzha.
Elle est certainement très intéressante, et prouve que le public alexandrie, son vent si indifférent à tout ce qui n'est pas affaire de boas ou de spéculation sur les terrains, s'intéressait peut-être un peu d es grands problèmes de la transformation de notre ville.
Je n'entrerai pas en discussion avec votre correspondant sur les avantages ou désavantages du projet qui, d'ailleurs, n'est encore qu'un avant-projet, et peut souffrir de nombreuses corrections. Ja vaux cependant lai faire remarquer que son idée de faire des quaie sur les rives da Capa L'actue', par des expropriations de 40 m. et 30 m. de large r n'est pas beure 988 point de vue économique.
Je me suis livré à un petit ouloul sommaire et j'ai trouvé que votre correspondant deman! dait simplement l'achat de 75,000 m, carrés de terrain, la plus souvent occupé par des éd fiore. Sais je trop pessimiste en croyant que le prix en sera de 6 £ le m. carié y aurait donc 450,000 £ de dépenses à faire seulement en achat de terrains.
A lae Maréotis, il n'y aura pas d'achat de terrain à faire. Ba général il faut se méfier de tous les grands projets ou l'expropriation est la grosse dépense. C'est alors que l'on peine dans la poche du gouvernement pour remplir celle des particuliers parfois trop goals.
Veuillez agréer l'assurance de mes sentiments les plus dévoués.

Mr. C.J. Alford has furnished the following summary of the month's operations :
Semna mine.-- December 31st 1906. Main shaft first level east, 89 feet, vein for last 15| feet averaged 56 inches in width with 9 dwt gold per ton. First level west drive from main shaft at 99 feet connected with east drive from N° 3 shaft, thus affording good ventilation throughout the western section of the mine. This level is now through on the vein for 330 feet west of main shaft, showing for that distance an average width of 41 inches of quartz carrying 14 dwt of gold per ton. The main window is down 36 feet, vein wider than 5 ft. side of winze averaging 24, dwts gold per ton. N° 1 shaft first level west, 222 feet, last 15 feet, of vein averages 22 inches wide with 11.5 dwt gold per ton. N° 5 winze last down 12 feet, vein averages 51 inches wide with 25.5 dwts gold per ton.
Mr. D. B. Pashundaki, in a letter on the gypsum deposits of Mariont, remarked recently in our columns on the subject of this concession :
Two demands were only submitted to the head office of the mondirieh, but received no answer whatsoever. A month after a coast guards officer informed me that the Khedive took possession of the quarries. The concession of the Marion gypsum has been subsequently given by His Highness to M. Syrigo, of our town.
We are now informed that this gentleman's statements are not correct so far as regarde the taking possession of the quarries. They were purchased by the Khedive from the Government and the title deeds were obtained from the Government. These title deeds are now held by the Khedive.

Football At Port Said
Our Port Said Correspondent writes:
Port Said International Club played their first match against the Government School on Saturday afternoon in the ground of the former. It resulted in a win for the natives by 2 goals to one. Port Said started and after desperate give-and-take play they assumed the aggressive. Their forwards played grandly and looked like having things their own way, but they shot feebly, and with the half gale which was blowing across field they lost many chances. A long kick by the Arabs right full back which was badly missed and found touch near Port Said's line, brought the relief of his side wanted. A smart dribble by the Arab forwards took play to the mouth of the goal and Port Said had a very anxious time, but relief was obtained. Shortly after this the natives got a rather soft goal, from an off-side man. From the kick-off play was on the touch line for a while, but just before time the Arabs put in another goal, which was if anything more off-side than the last.
The second half can hardly be described as a pleasant one, owing to some rather dirty play, the Arab goalkeeper and left back being very "hot". Port Said attacked from beginning to end and certainly had very hard lines in not scoring more than the one they did, but their forwards, with the exception of Field and Ingram, were very weak and I think one could say funky/ Wallace played well at full back in which position I would much prefer to see him play than in goal. Port Said would benefit greatly with a little practice.
Football in the Provinces
Our Tala Correspondent writes: A football match was played on Friday between the pupils of Tantah and Damanhour Government schools. The match was witnessed by a large crowd of spectators. Kick-off was at 3:25 p.m and the teams defended their sides admirably, the match ended in a draw at 5 p.m. Mr Delanoy, the director of the new training college, acted as referee. The return match will probably be played next week on Shebin play ground, when Mr. Keene, science teacher at Massi El Mashkoura secondary school, will probably set as referee.
A remarkable incident occurred during the game. Two of the players became locked and then began to pommel one another. Then the two sides joined in the fray and next the spectators, who were very numerous rushed on to the ground and great excitement ensued. Fortunatley order was restored by the personal interposition of Mr. Hornblower, Inspector of the Ministry of the Interior.
The Stoker's Wife
TELLS A PITIFUL TALE.
THE PANGS OF ACUTE INDIGESTION.
UNABLE TO TAKE TO AVOID PAIN.
PAINFULLY THIN AND WEAK.
LIKE A NEW WOMAN TO-DAY.
STRONG, GOOD APPETITE, CURED BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.
"When my husband was ordered on foreign service six months ago," said Mr. Wonde, he was terribly anxious about me, for my sufferings from complications following acute chronic indigestion grew so intense that I would have welcomed my death to release me from such torture."
Mrs. Emma Woods is the wife of a stoker in the Royal Navy, and lives at 48, Cumberland-Street, Portsmouth. Happily, her recent letters to her husband, still abroad, have relieved his anxiety, for she has written that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People not only arrested further progress of her obstinate disorder, but they so strengthened her digestive organs that to-day she finds pleasure in life, with renewed motivity and freedom from pain. "I took little notice at first," said Mrs. Woods, "of the fact that my appetite had failed altogether, and it did not concern me at all if I went for many hours without food.
"But this state was followed by dull, growing pains internally that would arise soon after I took a meal, however light, and those would last for hours. These pains became more acute and were accompanied by a distressing feeling of fullness, as though my stomach was quite incapable of digesting anything.
"Sharp cutting pains seizəd me from the chest and under the shoulder blades, with sickly, fainting, feeling round my heart; it seemed a struggle for my heart to beat at all when these fits attacked me.
"As food tortured me, I tried to live by taking less and less until it became a matter of living on a mouthful or two. But my stomach was so weak that it could not even retain such a light diet as milk puddings. The agonising pains did not diminish. Now, I would be doubled up in torture; at times the weight of my clothing was more than I could hear.
"Of course, doctors were consulted and did all they could for me, while I took a quantity of medicine ; yet I continued to offer. As a result I became partially thin and haggard, and so terribly weak that I tottered rather than walked. One day I called on a friend who was quite upset about my appearance, she earnestly advised me to begin a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, telling me she had taken them with splendid results. I decided to try them, and thankful I am that I did so, for they made a new woman for me. The first sign of improvement was the return of my appetite. I began to enjoy my food. The pains following meals were less severe as I continued the pills, until in time they disappeared entirely.
"After three boxes I could eat heartily without fear of suffering, but I kept on with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills until I had taken eight boxes, when my strength was restored, and my digestive organs invigorated and able to derive nourishment from food.
"Today, I can eat anything without digestive trouble, feel strong and well, and can get about as active as any woman. My husband is delighted with the good reports I send him about my health."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure ruined digestions by actually making Good Red-Blood that builds up the system anew and gives strength to the vital organs. They have cured also Adæmis, Eczema, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Nervous Disorders, Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance and Paralysis ; also the special troubles of women.

THE COMPANY has been formed for the purposes stated in the Memorandum of Association, and more particularly to establish a line of British steamships, to supply the demand made by the impressive passenger traffic for first class and rapid service between Europe and Egypt.
The Plainfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Limited, of Glasgow, has contracted with the Company for the construction of two turbina steamers of about 18,000 tons gross register, the length of the vessels to be 550 feet and breadth 60 feet. The steamers will each have five turbines, viz--three turbines for going abroad and two for going astern. They will each have three propellers and (according to specification) are to steam no less than 20 knots an hour, at which speed the passage between Marseilles and Alexandria should be accomplished in 70 hours. Accommodation will be provided for 500 first class and 280 second class passengers. . .
In preparing the specification for their steamers, the Directors have had in view the recent great advance that has been made in the fitting of steamers with the object of increasing the comfort of passengers. Beside state-room accommodation of the most up to date character, a number of "cabinets de laxe, each with private bathroom, etc, Adjoining will be provided, and in addition to the usual public room there will be on the upper deck a restaurant (having separate kitchens and service) in which meals will be served a la carte.
In view of the ports, Marseilles and Alexandria, at which the steamers will call, special attention has been paid to ventilation ; this will be affected by the thermotank system by which the air in every part of the ships will be changed six times an hour.
Other features will be children's saloon and a passenger lift communicating with the various passenger decks.
It will be seen that the Company's steamers will reproduce all the most striking features
of the newest Atlantic liners and as regards comfort and speed, will surpass anything hitherto attempted by any lines running between Europe and Egypt.
Lord Cromer's Report of the 8th March, 1906, contains the following reference with regard to the passenger traffic with Europe:
"I have allowed in my recent Annual Reports to the enormous insurance which have taken place during the last few years in the passenger traffic between Egypt and Europe. In 1902, 60,000, and in 1903, 74,000 passengers disembarked at Port Said and Alexandria. In 1904 the total number was 90,400. In 1905 it rose to 99,992. These figures are exclusive of troops, but include all classes of passengers."
The Directors believe that the special facilities which the Company's service will provide will appeal to the largely increasing travelling public and will also prove highly remunerative.
The contract price for the above-mentioned steamers is £6 6,000 payable in the oral method by installments, whereof £406,000 is payable during construction, leaving $400,000 payable on delivery of the steamers or at the option of the Company by instalments extending over two years.
The Directors will in any event go to allotment, having regard to the fact that the following. ing persons have applied for 40,000 ordinary and 40,000 deferred shares of the Company in the following amounts:
