Mr. Robertson's speech, not the dinner given in his honour, which we reproduced in our issue of Saturday, was of considerable interest. To much of it no exception could be taken : the speaker obviously held as a good Radical that the best elements of the nation were to be found in the Radical party, a point of view which—mutalin mutandin—is not rare among Conservatives We are quite in agreement with Mr. Robertson's dictum that in international relations, friendliness and sympathy count for much, and that it is in the interest both of England and Egypt that acquaintance should be rendered as close and pleasant as is possible. At the same time we are—to tell the truth — slightly amused by the opening of Mr. Robertson's speech. We quite understand that he is grateful to our confrère Hafiz Effendi Awad for his assistance and aid : we are the first to admit that our Confrères social, linguistic, and journalistic abilities have made him an ideal exponent of the views of the party which he represents, and wo are convinced that purely patriotic motives could alone have persuaded our retiring confrère to assume for the nonce the ardurous career of impresario ; but we feel a certain tendency to smile when we learn that Mr. Robertson has to all appearances described the Editor of "Al Minbar" as his political Mentor. An Egyptian visitor to England who took, say, the Editor of the "Daily Mail'' for his "guide, philosopher, and friend," or, going to the other extreme, sought counsel and information from the Editor of "Reynolds' Newspaper," would in either case return to Alexandria or Port Said with a somewhat lop-sided view of British social and political conditions, and in the case of Mr. Robertson we me entitled to ask whether that gentleman is about to supply Parliament with a stream of facts exclusively supplied by the Editor of "Al Minbar." In saying this we do not wish to cast the slightest aspersion on the good faith of our confrère, but to insist on the somewhat obvious truth that the version of facts— notably in political questions—given by any individual must Ire largely dependent on the personal equation. However, Mr. Robertson will doubtless soon enlighten us on this question, and we look forward with interest to the results of his Egyptian tour.
The most important article in the last "Edin-burgh Review" is a careful study of the new problem which faces Lord Cromer in Egypt. Formerly the task of the British Administra-tion was to give peace and prosperity to the land Now this has been accomplished, and the result has been the growth of Egyptian nation-alism. The material progress of the people, however, having outrun their moral and intellectual growth, we find that their aspira-tions naturally do not correspond to their political capacity. The true policy is to recognize what merit there may be in the new feeling, and to give this national spirit all the scope which is consistent with the preservation of the advantages which the British Administration has conferred. The writer shows how the representative principle is even now admitted in Egyptian administration, and how no' Englishman is appointed to a post which can be competently filled by an Egyptian. This principle may be extended, and while ordinary constitutional government would be out of the question, it might be possible to do much in the way of developing self-government in the municipalities. The three dangerous forces— nationalism, the Anglophobe Arab Press, and Pan-Islamism—may be counteracted by an. intelligent liberalism in the Administration, and by the growth of progressive ideas among the Mohamedans themselves.
The celebration of the anniversary of the Khedive's accession is thus commented on by Mr. Edward Diecey in the "Daily Telegraph":— On Tuesday his Highness the Khedive celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of his accession to the Viceregal throne. If "Whitaker's Almanack" is correct, and any doubt as to its infallibility is to my mind a pestilent heresy, Abbas Pasha Hilmi is now a man of thirty- three, that is, in the very prime of life. Judged by ordinary Oriental standards, he has been an intelligent, active, and popular ruler. From the outset, however, of his reign the Khedive has had little or no chances of showing his ability as an administrator, and in consequence his special qualifications for the exorcise of Sovereign power must be taken mainly upon credit. Year after year, under our virtual protectorate, his Highness's authority as the nominal Sovereign of Egypt has been diminished rather by general causes than by any deliberate design. His personal relations with our British authorities have gradually become, if not less cordial, certainly less intimate. He lives mainly at his Palace of Koubbeb, some half-dozen miles away from Cairo, on the out- skirts of the Suez Desert. He hardly ever posses a night in his huge barrack-like Palace of Abdeen, the last, I think, of the numerous palaces built by his grandfather in or near the capital which now remains intact. In the old pre-occupation era the Khedives were in fact, as well as in name, the fountains of honour, the distributors of rewards and punishments, and their residences were crowded daily by petitioners, suppliants, and persons with grievances, who, according to immemorial usages, had full and free right of access to their presence. All this is changed to-day, and the visitors to Koubbeh are comparatively few in number. I fancy, however, that during the year just ended a variety of circumstances, familiar to all persons acquainted with modern Egypt, have led to an impression that, under certain not altogether improbable contingencies, his Highness may play hereafter a somewhat more active part in the administration of Egypt than he has played of late, and this impression has led all those who are dissatisfied with the present political conditions of the country to look upon Abbas II. as the possible figurehead of a so far leaderless movement. Neither I, nor anyone, can say with certainty whether his Highness views the vague and impracticable ideas of the Egyptian Nationalists with favour or disfavour, but, in any case, tho favour must necessarily be of a very platonic kind.

The annual carnival often furnishes an excuse to a certain class of the population to indulge in practices which can only be described as reprehensible. One of these practices is the indiscriminate throwing from the windows of houses or in the streets of missiles of all kinds, likely in many cases to injure the passers-by. The Alexandria Gouvernorat authorities make a pressing appeal to the public, on the approach of these fetes, to cases the practice, which degenerates into a scandolous abuse. We are informed that if the abuse is persisted in the Gouvernorat will find it necessary to prosecute offender, in conformity with Articles 343 of the Native Penal Code and 334 of the Mixed Penal Code. AS regards persons who make use of the windows or balconies of houses to throw hard missiles at passers-by, the Gouvernorat, when it fails to identify the offenders themselves, will hold the tenants of the houses who tolerate them resposible for the abuses committed.

The works, whic are new in progress, are not to be considered in any degree final. New projects for improving Alexandria's ports are to be submitted to the Egyptian Governement in the course of this year, it is hoped that these will be begun in 1908. the fears that were expressed two yrars ago as to the possibility of Port Said ruining and eventually displacing Alexandria as the best Port of Egypt are quite groundless. From 1900 to 1906 Port Said trade increased by 47% while that of Alexandria increased by 51%. The value of the imports at Alexandria in 1905 was L.E. 19066338, against Port Said's L.E. 1011400. Last year the figures were respectively, L.E. 21520353 and L.E. 1410354. While the value of Alexandria's Port showed and increase of L.E. 2454015 over the previous year's figures Port Said only increased during the same time by L.E. 1,125,881. Port Said's exports of merchandise last year amounted to L.E. 82,644, an increase of L.E. 134181 of 1905. Alexandria's merchandise imports of 1905 were L.E. 23977211, and increase of L.E of 4846186. The weight of goods imported at ALexandria in 1900 was 1544000 tons, and in 1905 2,500,000 tons. The exports in 1900 weighed 850,000 tons. The total increase was from 2394000 tons to 3450000 tons. Alexandria in 1905 discharged 575 tons of goods per lineal metre of quay, against Liverpool's 274 tons, Hamburgs 368 tons, Mersailles 380 tons, and Triestes 281 tons per lineal metre of quay. These figures speak volumes for the amount of work got through the Egyptian port. The total tonnage of boats out and home at Alexandria in 1900 was 4700000 and 1906 8800000. In eight years from 1900 Alexandria will have double its import traffic, while Rotterdam, which is a good sample of a progressive European port, has only succeeded in doubling her imports in 11 years. After Mersailles' and Genoa along the ports of the Mediterranean ALexandria comes in the second group, which includes Naples and Algeria, and there is not the slightest need to feat that Port Said will be able to der her any harm as a port.

The Nungovich Hotels Company has received and offer for the purpose of the Savoy Hotel Building and land, exclusive of the name or contents of the hotel, and the price of L.E. 450,000, which is equivalent to about L.E. 50 per square metre, the land area being about 9,00 square metres.
It is little wonder that the sharers of this hotel company stand at their present price of and a quarter considering that, besides the Savoy Hotel, the company possesses the continental hotel and ground covering about 11,000 metres, which is valued at 80 pounds per metre, also Mena House, with 158 Feddahs of land surrounding it, valued at over 200,000 pounds, the Grand Hotel, Helouan, and the hotel desk banes which stand in the company's books at the cost price of 60,000 pounds, and which today are of considerably greater value. From the above figures, the total values of the company's properties would be as follows:
Savoy- L.E 450,000
Continental- 750,000
Mena House- 200,000
Heluan- 60,000

A review of the trade of Egypt during the past few years has become a monotonous reiteration of continued success. Nothing occurs to check its steady expansion, and it would be difficult to imagine a calamity of sufficient importance to disturb its solid foundation. The Nile flood may be lower in one year than another, or it may exceed the average; but in either case, the damage done is not really very serious and anyhow the annual flood can be always depended on to provide sufficient irrigation for most of the cultivated land. We have niether drought now tempest to injure the crops, and they are never exposed to the risks of strong winds, heavy rains, or frosts. There is always a hot son and water enough to keep the roots moist. Locusts, caterpillats, or worms, when they appear, are promptly dealt with by the Government before they can do much damage. Famine is practically unknown and the reputed existence of plague is usually confined to isolated cases, in regard to which the more enlightened inhabitants of the country are extremely sceptical.
The value of goods imported into Egypt during the ten months ended October 31, amounted to considerably over 19.5 millions sterling, represetning and increase of over 2,000,000 pounds, in comparison with the same period of 1903. Great Britain's share of these imports had increased ot the extent of 630,000 pounds, and there is no doubt that the result would have been still more gratifying if manufactureers of cotton piece goodshad been able to deliver orders in reasonable time. These figures alone are sufficient indicationof the continuous rapid growth of prosperity in the country, and it is interesting to note in the Customs returns the ever increasing demand for most manufactured articles which are usually required only by contries in an advanced state of civilization. Lord Cromer has explained in sever of his annual reports that Egypt stands in the unique position of as Oriental country which has assimilated a very cosiderable portion of European civilization.
The rapid rise of land values in recent years was quickly followed by grearly increased prices paid for the cotton crop, and both these movements produced an accumulation of much wealth to landed proprietors, cultivators, and most other classes. A demand for better housing accomodation soon began, and this led to a desire for modern comforts, which is expanding rapidly, owing to various causes ehich include the annual migration to Europe for the summer months, the civilising influence of travle in other countries, the greater freedom given to rhe Mohamedan ladies, the sprawl of education, and the attractions to village notables of residence in Cairo or other cities. Building sires changed hands with bewildering rapidity and realized twice their original values in a few months. Old dwellings were demolished in every direction and replaced by large blcoks of flats fitted with modern sanitary appliances, electric bells, and facilities for gas or electric lighting. Numerous joint stock companies were to deal with one form of development or another. Egyptians were no longer afrais to display their wealth, and took rather a natural delight in outshining one another in the spledour of their foreign horses, carriages, or other novel possessions.
Modern Egypt, therefore, may be said to have moer advanced notions of cvilisation than most of Eastre Europe, and her requirements will be drawn more and more from the country best fitted to supply them intelligently.
The customary financial arrangements to deal with the cotton crop were quite inadequate this season, and all calculations based on past experience were upset owing to the unexpected fervour with which the fallasheen rushed into the market to avail themselves of the remarkable high prices ruling at the beginning of the season. A scarcity of gold in Alexandria resulting from the operation of liftng the crop is predicted every year, but rarely provided for ; this season the situation was strained to an acute degree early in November, and the banks were forced to make hasty demands for further supplies. But the crop was found to be larger than usual, and the prices were steadily mainstained ; consequently sales were made to an abnormal extent, and the gold reserves were once more exhausted early in December. The banks complained that the gold ad not been filtering back from the provinces with its usual regularity ; but the main cause of the trouble would appear to be the inability of their head offices in London to realize the situation, and possibly their unwillingness to follow the measures recommended by the man on the spot.
The English advisers to the Government have shown some anxiety recently to introduce preventative measures in regard to speculation in cotton, but their intentions were opposed unanimously by the cotton merchants. Sspeculation is an essential feature of the trade, and it is the primary cause of the marvellous increase in the value of the Egyptian cotton crop for the last three or four years.
It is not difficult to calculate that the sale of the present crop will
result in a net gain to the agricultural community of at least five
millions sterling in excess of last year's profits, and this will have a
far reaching effect on the trade of the country. The fellisheen are
indeed the most properous farmers in the
Labour continues to become more scarce and much more costly to owing to the marvellous increase of agricultural prosperity, which now retains the able-bodied in the rural districts the whole year round. THe demand in the cities is greatly in excess of the supply, and every branch of trade is more or less hampered by the difficulties of such a situation. Building operations are seriously delayed, and this is a special grievance at a moment when numerous schemes have been undertaken for urban extension or reconstruction. To give some idea of the movement in their direction I may mention that during a drive round Cairo a few days ago I counted 500 blocks of dwelling houses and offices under construction
How to deal with the independent Egyptian workmen who will throw down their tools and leave the job on a slight reprimand is a question that bristles with difficulties, and as the Governmetn is obliged to come into competiion with trade in order to carry out public works, there seems no prospect of discovering an early solution to this labour problem. Skilled workmen are no longer to be got, as they quickly star business on their own account after discovering the value of their superior intelligence. Workmen imported from Italu and Greece have been found generally too ignorant to be satisfactory, and English workmen are considered the best. If it were possible for the Government to appoint a local commission to inquire into the conditions of labour, I believe that important evidence would be collected, and probably valuable advice might be obtained in regard to the method of dealing with this problen on a comprehensive scale.
THe creation of a large number of joint stock companies during that past five years has been the means of drawing more general attention to legal questions. Egypt possesses none of the ordinary machinery for general legislation, and under the existing sysem it is impossible to adapt its laws to the growing requirements of the country. The day has arrived when, as Lord Cromer predicted years ago, the burden of the Capitulations must be readjusted; and, in his annual report published alst April he explained the general nature of his plan for providing the country with suitable legislative institutions. He asl invited the local Press and Chamber of COmmerce to express their opinion on the subject. Perhaps the most interesteding of Lord Cromer;s proposals is the creation of a separate legislative council composed of subjection of the Powers which were partied in the institution of the mized tribunals. Legislation passed by a majority of this council, and promolgated by the Egyptian Government, with the assent of the British Government, would be bindin on all foreigner sresident in Egypt. .The existing Conseluar Courts are to be abolished when other Courts have been created by the fresh legislation ; and the cardinal point of the whole plan is that the Powers, with the exception of Great Britain, will cease to exercise any legislative funstions.
It is difficult to interest foreign residents in a scheme of this nature, and, in the absence of any united public opinion, they are inclined to preserve an attitude of masterly inactivity. They prefer to continue in the nejoyment of their present privileges, and are unwilling to consider any propsed change which might tend to limit them. The most absolute guarantees would be necessary to remove their suspicion that the ultimate intention of the British GOvernmetn is to treat Europeans and Egyptians as equals ; all the European communities have the most profound objection to such an idea.- (The "Times:).

THere was a marked improvement in last nights; :Lohengin: iver previous performances, particular as regards the first two acts, which went very smoothly. In both scenes, of the last act, there was rather a falling away: the orchestra, already caantering at the start went off at a gallop, and at times rather disconcerted the chorus. Signa Grisi, too, as Elsa, was occasionally in too great a hurry and now and again a little flat, but other wise fairly good. Sig. Marcolin;s Lohengrin calls for little comment. There were so many cuts in Telramund's part that Sig. Berrisl had hardly scope for his vigorous acting. By far the best in the cast and nearest to Wagnerian requirements was Signa. Chorkawaks's Ortund, the "woman who does not know love." THis was a most telling piece of work as regards to singing, accting, and appearance. Sig. Contini, and Heinrich der Vogler, was also very commendable, and acquitted himself particularly well in Act I. The band, as we have said, left a good deal to be desirec; they were wanting both in vigour and feeling. We should also remark that the female chorus was too sudden and shrill, and we wish they would realize they their frivility is somewhat misplaced in the solemnity of this drama. But perhaps they take their cue from the audince, who keep up in incessant chatter, although one would have thought the entr'actes are more than sufficiently long to answer this purpose. B.

K.O.S.B v. Royal Dublin Fuseliers.
Last Saturday, the 2nd inst, and exciting match was witnessed on the Ghezireh ground, Cairo, in the semi-final for the "Egyptian Shield: (Army of Occupation), between the King's Own Scottish Borders adn the 1st Royal Dublin Fusiliers, which ended in a drawn game (one goal each). The match was witnessed by a crowd of about 4,000 people. A special train in the morning conveyed the team adn 200 N.C.O;s and men of the Dublin Fusiliers to Cairo to enable them to see their team play.
This match has now to be plated again, and will be played at Alexandria. The Sporting Club have kindly consented to lend their ground for the match, which will be played on Friday next, 8th insti. Kick off will be at 3 p.m., when an exciting contest should be witnessed.
The last time these two teams met was at York, in the year 1895, in the second round of the Army's Cup, when the King's Own Scottish Borderers were the victors.
According to the report of the committee for the year 1906, the past season, the seventh year of the club's existence, has witnessed a further development in its usefulness. The number of members, 148, is practically, the same as the previous season, but attendance on the range has increased about 50% and the quanitity of ammunition expended has been nearly double that of last year. Proficiency in marksmanship has, generally, been more than maintained, improvment being most noticeable amongst beginners. Good work has thus been done by the club in teaching a considerable number of young men who were previously unacquainted with the use of the rifle, and in impriving those who already had more or less experience in shooting. Eleven N.R.A "Riflemen" certificates were gained by 9 members, this year 11 members have won 40 of these, entitling the club to 4 N.R.A. silver badges for competition amongst these members. Of six matches shot, four were won, and two lost by the club. The military authorities have afforded the club their kind assistance, as heretofore, and the 1st Batt. Royal Dublin Fusiliers kindly presented a handsome challenge cup, at the beginning of the season, to be completed for annually amongst 3rd class members. This aided considerably in attracting the unexperienced to the range, which was the object the donors had in view. The first winner of this cup is Mr. D.V.B. Donaldson. The spoon competitions were well attended, the winners being: in Deliberate finding Class I. Messers, H.F. Dickson, A.G. Lias, W. Lucas, W.G. Jacob, L.H. Rickards (twice) and P. Schilizz; Class II. Messrs. W. Broomfield, R.H. Incledon, W.G. Jacob, L. Ratcliffe, G. Smith, and W.J. Tookey; Class III. Messrs. T.D. Carver, D.V.B. Donaldson, T.F. Donovan, J. Mellor, R. Murchland, W.J. Tookey, and C.F. Townsend. Lu rapid firing the following gained spoons W.B. Carlisl (twice). W. Lucas, J.H. Buckland, R.H. Incledon, G.D. Lovel, C. Robertson, G. Smith, W.C. Hubble, J. Mellor and W. J. M. Whitfield. The Champion Cups were won, in Class I., by Mr. P. Schilzii, and in Class II. by Mr. W.C. Jacob, and the Donegall badge by Mr. A. G. Lias. 5 Milton badges were gained, as against 2 in 1905, viz: a gold one by Mr. P. Schilizzi, silver ones by Messrs. A.G. Lias and L.H. Rickards, and bonze ones by Messrs. W.G. Jacob and W.J. Tookey. The price of ammunition was maintained at P.T. 3 per 8 rounds throughout the season, which is considerably less than its cost. Owing chiefly to the loss on the sale of ammunition and increased expenses, the balance carried forward to the new year is only P.T. 2264 3/10, as against P.T. 4501 8/10 last year.

"I write you a few words to express to you my satisfaction at being cured."
"I was afflicted with of the throat and nose and suffered much."
"I was greatly discouraged."
"I had a bad breath and a bad taste in my mouth in the morning."
"I took treatment for some time without obtaining relief."
"At the advice of friends I tried Peruna and the results have been highly satisfactory."
Neglected catarrh becomes chronic. Having developed into the chronic stage, a longer and more persistent treatment will be required to cure It than If the disease were treated after onset.
However, Peruna will bring relief, whether the catarrh is acute or chronic. If you are also you will keep Peruna on hand and take a few doses at the first appearance of a cold or cough, and save yourself both suffering and expense too.

This depends partly upon the month in j which you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may be a little winner time the Riviera, amid ' possibly not so warm as Sicily, but in March it will be warmer than Rome, and more uniformly warm than ninny other places in Europe. Many people leave Egypt far-too early in the year, for as a rule the weather in April and May is perfect. The warmest place to go to on leaving Egypt is Sicily.
Some will want to take into consideration the number of days to be spent at sea, and we therefore subjoin a list showing the time occupied on each of the various routes between Egypt and the Continent of Europe.
The direct route to Sicily is by the Florio- Rubattino Co's steamers, which leave Alexandria weekly for MESSINA, where one takes train to TAORMINA, 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 the 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 tine Cathedral. The Greek, Roman, and Saracenic remains that are found all over the island, are an endless source of pleasure. SYRACUSE has an interesting history, having been a Greek city, which was designed by Demosthenes in BC 413, and taken by the Romans in BC 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 Erimiti 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 J 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 j on its bay—Castellamare and Sorrento. The I 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 live 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 he omitted. The Casein« is the most attractive and fashionable promenade in Florence, whilst the Vidale dri Colli, one of the finest walks in Europe, opened 35 years ago, goes winding up through the hit's a distance of four miles. The most delightful excursion outside Florence is that to Valtom- brusa, 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 Saltiiio. 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 line 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. Oho 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 lions, 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, Thun there are the Superbly decorated medieval churches containing exquisite marble columns and historical paintings, and the incomparable 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 Sun Domino and in half an hour you are at Salsomaggiore.
A pleasantly situated village lying in the valley between Piacenza and Parma, rapidly becoming famous for its waters, which are very rich in bromine and iodine, and the richest in the world in lithium, strontium, and ichthyol, and have been successfully used in the treatment of regcrofula, rheumatism, tuberculosis affections, ladies' complaints, etc.

The steamers of the P. & O., 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 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, and the Austrian Lloyd Trieste-Vienna express from Alexandria.
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 recieving the Indian
and
The ITALIAN LAKES.
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 the Venice from the Adriatic is unlike that of any other seaport. 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.
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 Trenuszo; Cadenabhia, and Menaggio with the prettily-situated town of Bellaggio opposite. The walk from Tremezze along the shore of the lake to Menaggio is most enjoyable A steam tram rims from Maggit 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."
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 m delightful excursions, those to the Rigi, Pilatus, Burkenstock and Sonnenberg needing a special visit each. Other excursions on the lake can be made by steamer, and the ever-changing scenery of the trip from Lucerne to Eluelen is a source of delight to the lover of nature.
THE BERNESE OBERLAND.— INTER-LAKEN, 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 Junafrau from the Hoheweg, a fine avenue of walnut trees, the chief resort of visitors. Interlaken is also het far from the famous waterfalls, Giessbacci, Trummelbach and Staubbach Then also tho glaciers of Grindelwald view from Murren and the Schyriige Platte are sights not to be missed.
CHATEAU D'OEX. 3,500 ft. above the sea on the now Electric Railway between Montecux and Interlaken, surrounded by magnificent scenery, with pure dry air Much frequented by English people in Summer and Winter.
Many people visit Greece after wintering in Egypt, ns it is so easily reached from Alexandria ; the climate in April is charming. The best steamers are those of the Khedivihal Mail Co. and 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.
