In an interesting article dealing with Anglo-foreign banking enterprises, the "Financier" draws attention to the extent to which the Egyptian banks have benefited by the increased prosperity of this country.
In the announcement of the past year's working of the Bank of Egypt no variation is shown (says the writer) on the previous year's dividend, but that year showed a considerable advance on the preceding period, and this progressiveness extends back for several years. Dating from 1901, when 30s. per share, or 12 per cent., was distributed, the following year's distribution was increased to 32s. 6d. per share; in the next year and to 45s. in the suceeding, as in the year just closed, or equivalent to 18 per cent. This amounts to an increase of 6 per cent in four years and reflects the great advance that has been made in the Land of Pharaohs during this time. The shares have fully responded to this increase in dividends, as will be seen from the following movements:-
At the present price of 38 these shares, it will be observed, have nearly doubled themselves in value, and give a yield of £5 18s. 3d. per cent.
The National Bank of Egypt has participated in the increasing prosperity of Egypt to an extent that evokes lively interest in the forthcoming declaration of the year's profits. For 1901 the dividend amounted to 11s. per share on the £10 shares, which had increased 10 16s. a year ago, or, expressed in percentage, the dividend increased from 5 1/2 to 8 per cent., making the present position one of great expectations. The shares of this bank, as a consequence of the steadily-increasing dividend and the prosperity of the company, have experienced a very pronounced rise in the past few years, as the subjoined figures show:-
The most remarkable rise in the above movements is that in the years 1903-4, although that was the period in whic hthere was no increase in the divided, but it was the time when everything Egyptians was expanding. Since then the movements have been less pronouncedk and the present price is the same as the highest levels of the two preceeding yeares shown above. As a consequence of this rise in the market price of the shares the yield, taking the middle figure of current quotations, and on the basis of the last dividend, is only £2 16s. per cent.
The Anglo-Egyptian Bank, whose fiscal year terminates at a different period of the year, showed in its last dividend that is was experiencing the benefits of the expanding trade of the country, the last half yearly dividend being at the rate of 20 per cent., per annum, which compares with 10 per cent. in 1903. The current quotation of the shares is 13 1/2-14. Ath the middle figure, and at the rate of 15 per cent. for the last completed year, the yield amounts to £5 9s. per cent.
Their Majesties opened Parliament in fall State.
HOUSE OF COMMONS-Mr. Balfour said that the Government was apparently in distress about the Lords. The views advanced by the different Minister were absolutely inconsistent.
The idea that the modification of the House of Lords would prevent an occasional interference with the views of the House of Commons was preposterous. He agreed that in the long run the people should decide what laws should be.
Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman said they must avoid a labyrinth of constitutional fallacies and pedantries and remember that the constitution was essentially representative. Anyhow, a solution must be found: the present situation was dangerous and demoralising. He had set aside various scheme which had been suggested with regard to the reconstitution of the Lords. What they were concerned with was the relations between the two Houses and it was to that that the attention of the House would be directed in due course.
Sir H. Combei Bonneman, interrupting Mr. Balfour, objected to the assumption that his expression "a measure leading to a larger policy" meant an independent Parliament in Dublin. Reverting to the subject later he said it would not affect the solidarity of the Empire if the Irish people had what every self-governing colony possessed, namely, power to manage their own affairs. That was the larger policy of which he had spoken. (R)
The papers dwell on the momentous nature of the new session. Speculation is rifest in reference to the Government tactics towards the House of Lords. The "Times" affirms that the Cabinet is far from agreed as to any definite scheme.
Mr. Haldane's Army Bill and a far reaching Finance Bill will occupy a large part of the session.

FRENCH CONSUL'S ACTION.
The action of M. Girard, French Consul-General at Alexandria, in holding an enquiry on M.Raoul Canivet at the request of the Egyptian Government and the Russian consular authorities, is evoking some journalistic criticism. M. Raymond Colrat, the Editor of "L Egypte," in a leading article on the case of M. Canivet in yesterday's issue of that newspaper, indulges in a violent attack on M. Girard for having agreed to hold an enquiry. M. Colrat exclaims :-
To-day acting towardss French journalists just as though they were serfs of the epoch of the Middle Ages, the Consul considers that it is his duty to pursue one of his fellow-countrymen in contempt of the most sacred rights of the Press. Yet has this French subject committed such a stupendous fault? He merely published a piece of inexact information. In that case we ought all to pass throngh the Caudine Forks of the Consul for who of us has not heen mistaken?" Such procedure savours of the Russian régime. It is the system of "Caviar," and nothing more nor less, just the same thing as goes on on the banks of the Neva! Is this to be imposed on us here? Are we to go back a century? To think that it France that will be the first to give such sample of intolerance and of contempt for the right of mankind!
SYMPATHY WITH M. CANIVET.
In today's issue M. Colrat remarks a propos of M. Canivet:
Mon pauvre confrère, je plains votre vieux ménage, mais j'admire votre sereine fidélite. Votre sort, dites vous, n'a rien d'extraordinaire! Il est vrai que vous connaissez l'injustice des hommes et pour l'avoir connu vous êtes devenu philosophe.
Le Ministre des Affaires Etrangères français est un ancien journaliste. Laissera t-il touchera ux droits de la Presse? Je sais bien que certains chuchottent que de vieilles rancunes pourraient l'excciter à se taire. Mais ce sont des allégations qui ne tiennent pas debout. Tous ceux qui connaissent M. Pichon le savent incapable de commettre une acte qui lui soit dicté par autre chose que sa conscience.
Ce n'est du reste pas M. Canivet qui est poursuivi; c'est l'idée en marche, c'est la liberté, c'est le progrès, c'est la Presse.
GREEKS' APPEAL.
On Saturday next the appeal of two Greeks, local subjects, who were sentenced to three months' imprisonment for participation in the recent disturbances, will come on for hearing before the Native Court.
By 10 o'clock last night, Ghezireh Palace Hotel was crowded, and every few minutes groups, some in costume, some in ordinary evening dress, left for the Casino, where a constant stream of motors and carriages announced the arrival of ever more goests. Without going into details of costumes and toilettes, we may say at once that the ball has never been more brilliant. All Cairo was there, and the choice of costumes gave infinite credit to the taste and ingenuity of their wearers. Pierrots and pierettes, Arctic explorers and Spanish signorittas, Neapolitan fishermen, Bedouin sheikhs of various tribes, known and unknown syces, at least three versions of the operatic Mephistophales, Sikhs, columbines, were among the masqueraders, while an enormons baby of some six feet in height danced with surprising abandon for one of such tender years. An admirable Toreador and several doctors of various universities, made an interesting colour contrast. There were some charming Pompadour costumes and an extraordinary figure surmounted by a tuft of blonde hair arising from a mask which wore a fixed and nervous smile, which we imagined to represent an extremely simple country maiden. A delightful lily of the valley and an obelisk who must have come from the barem of at least a Sultan were among the most attractive of the masqueraders. Folly, in light blue, was quite bewitching, and a very pretty Mary carried a little lamb. There were some very picturesque European peasant costumes, a Dutch girl, an Italian contadina, and a handsome Tyrolese being the most remarkable. Egyptian dress was well represented by students of Al Azhar and village sheikh while two tall and muscular warriors from the Eastern Sudan were well acquainted with all the niceties of the Hadendowa toilet.
The floor of the casino ballroom was delightful, and an excellent supper was greatly appreciated, and at one o'clock the sight in the supper and ballroom was in the highest degree picturesque. Dancing went on vigorously til after three o'clock, when those who remained suddenly realised that morning was coming and conveyances might be difficult to obtain. However the motor omnibus service plied steadily between Ghezireh Palace and Shepheard's Hotel, and we have not heard that any Egyptian warriors or Indian Rajahs incurred the suspicions of the police by tramping back to Cairo from one of the best dances that has ever been given in the Capital.

KHEDIVIAL THEATRE.
(FROM OUR THEATRICAL TORRESPONDENT).
"Messaline" is not an opera on which one can pronounce at a first hearing and without having the score. One can only suggest one's impression. It was certainly finely staged; the dresses were admirable; the chorus was abundant and appropriate. I would hesitate to accept the verdict of one critic to whom the piece appears as a string of ballads: it seemed rather to be a framework, distinctly Wagnerian, with a suspicioin of Meyerheer in one or two places. There are arias, "La vie est un jardin" (which M Loren sang delightfully). another song in the first art which took curious comic risks, and other passages; but the whole opera seemed to incline to the other extrame. It reminded in a sense of M. Sinadino's "Doga rese," the more so as one is inclined to fear that both these composers promise well but will never fulfil themselves. As to the performance. Mme. Chaix Bonheur's acting was a triumph of study and subtlety. She never exaggerated, never lapsed. It was a fine impersonation. Her voice has some few fine notes. but no charm; so the result was – like the opera itself – a fine framework but little more. M. Moisson (who is certainly not a fort ténor) was evidently tired. He had the right to be, after his voyage. He has a pleasant enough voice, and a good style of acting. M Mézy was for once good, really good. He had some control over his voice (the fine tone and range of which is indisputable) and he made a success of his part. Mlle. Dilloy had very little to do, but as ever she left a perfect impression of delicious sound. Her voice has a certain natural suggestion as of a lark, apart from all things, now peaceful, now almost rapturons. M Loreo sang with great charm; ha has a certain delightful tone and lightness. The orchestra were apparently pleased at their victory over M. Poncet and played fairly correctly, but with no sort of vigour. A fine orchestra, properly led, might have change the whole aspect of "Messaline," and shown all its possibilities. The chorus was quite fair: the sopranos had apparently been reinforced and the male voices weeded out. I missed one worthy tenor whose peculiarly blank expression has ways appealed to me. Their acting in the Saburra scene was exceedingly good. I do not give a resamé of the piece. I only hazard, in conclusion, the impression that remained with me,-a fine presentment of unrealised imagination, which, in the hands of a great composer, would have been a magnificent opera.
ABBAS THEATRE.
The best part of "Aida" on Saturday night was the march in the 2nd act-thanks, as usual, to Sig. Campanini, who handled the music and orchestra with that keen mastery which should, one day, bring him into real notice. He had a great ovation when the curtain fell from a crowded and enthasiastic house. All the performers sang quite well. "Aida" usually does seem to go well with the average Italian tronpe. Sig. Lucenti was very fine in the last act, and showed the depth and fullness of his voice in condemning Radames, Sig Tschierto showed that he had a fine strong voice for a lyric tenor Sig. D'Andina was hardly up to the King's part : his voice seemed to have no tone. The chorus was quite good, expecially the male voices. They evidently appreciated the reception they had had in "Faust." Surely it is a very very rare thing to hear the Soldier' chorus" encored. One usually has enough of it at one hearing.
Clearly the main object of Mr. Edward Dicey's recently published book "The Eypt of the Future" is to criticise Lord Comer. Among the various charges levelled against the British Representative in Egypt by Mr. Dicey is that of he moral retrogression of Egypt that has, he avers, been made under his lordship's rule! The passage in question deserves quotation as it is an interesting sample of Mr. Edward Dicey's mode of attack :-
"It is a commonplace saying that a despotism exercised by a benevolent despot is the best system of government possible in this imperfect world of ours. Egypt under British rule affords to-day a sort of object-lesson both of the merits and demerits of an autocratic administration. Lord Cromer is, I admit most gladly, a highminded and benevolent autocrat. Ismail, however, in the day of his grandeur, was not a more absolute ruler than the present representative of Great Britain on the banks of the Nile. On the other hand, no principles could be more diametrically opposite to one another than those on which Egypt has been administered under an Oriental and a British system of rule. No honest critic can dispate the zeal, the absolute integrity, and the ability with which Lord Cromer rules Egypt. Indeed, the autocracy conferred upon him in virtue of our military oconpation is due in no small degree to the general respect entertained by the Egyptians for his personal character. At the same time, the invariable defects of autocratic rule have made themselves manifest. To put the matter shortly, Egypt-under autocratic. though genuinely benevolent rule-has made enormons material progress, but her moral progress has been of a retrograde description."

According to "al Lewa" a number of natives have submited a petition to both the Khedive and Lord Cromer, protesting against the probable appointment of Fathy Bey Zaghloul as Undersecretary of State to the Ministry of Justice. The petition, says "Al Lewa," contains some severe criticisms.
The Municipal Engineer.
The Chairman of the London County Counci, Mr. Evan Spicer, who has been officially informed of the appointment of Mr. D. E.

A Curious Predicament,
This morning about 4 o'clock Mr. M. P. Carver and Mr. K. Macaulay, who inhabit a flat close to the Alexandria Cricket Club grounds, were awakened by piercing screams for help which apparently came from the club grounds. They got up and went in search of the distressed person, who continued to utter most heart-rending sounds. They found that these howls came from an Englishman who had fallen from the balcony of the racquet court on to the ground, a distance of about 15 feet. He was quite helpless and unable to move owing to having fallen on his hip. The two gentlemen got a cab and conveyed him to the Sailors and Soldiers' Institute, where he was taken in and despatched this morning to the German Hospital. The man had evidently sought the racquet court to sleep in.

Before a court-martial, sitting a Cork Barracks yesterday, Squadron, Sergeant-major Moore, 6th Inniskilling Dragoons was charged with dessertion from his regiment, from which he absented himself for nearly twelve months, and with losing, by neglect, clothing and other necessaries. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charges on the sheet. The documentary evidence adduced went to show that he enlisted in the Inniskilling Dragoons in August, 1864 and deserted from them in Dublin in December, 1905, and subsequently surrendered himself to the civil authorities at New York in December, 1906.
The prisoner, who is aged about 30 years, when asked by the Court if he had any statement to make it mitigation of his punishment, said that previous to his desertion he was laid up in the hospital with a very painful disease; that at the same time he was engaged to be married; and that the conjoint circumstances preyed on his mind to such an extent that he deserted. Continuing, he threw himself entirely on the mercy of the Court, and hoped that they would take into consideration his previous character. He served through the South African war, where he not alone received the war medal but was mentioned in despatched and he was also awarded the Royal Humane Society's Medal for live-saving. He had also been fifty-five days in close confinement, a great part of which term was spent in the regimental cell.
The prisoner's statement having been formally affixed to the evidence, he was found guilty on the strength of his own plea and the evidence brought forward, and the sentence of the Court when reviewed or sanctioned, will be published in the orders of his regiment.

Oates, 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, Cairo. who has just been promoted to that rank, is the officer who commanded a patrol of the regiment in the sharp fight with the Boers near Aberdeen on the 6th March, 1901. The patrol of the Inniskillins found itself in a very tight corner, and for four hours made a fine stand against the Boers, who were in force. Eventually the patrol got back to Aberdeen without the loss of a rifle, but several were wounded, including Lieutenant Oates, whose thigh was broken by a bullet. Twice, during the fight, Scheepers, the Boer commandant, sent a flag a truce and the summons to surrender, and each occassion the answer was "The Inniskillings came to fight, not to surrender".

Although Lord Charles Beresford has returned home from the Mediterranean, he is not due to vacate the command there till next month, when he will assume the command of the Channel Fleet. Admiral Bridgeman, the second in commandm who by the way is also due to take over the command of the newly-formed Home Fleet, will for the present be in chief command until relieved by Sir C. Drury, now second Sea Lord of the Admiralty, who was several weeks ago selected for the appointment of Commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean. Sir C. Drury is a vice-admiral and under existing arrangements will have the acting rank of admiral, though in view of the fact that in the future the Mediterranean Fleet is to consist of only six battleships, with, of course, the cruiser squadron attached, it is not improbably that heuceforth the Mediterranean Fleet will be regarded as the appointment of a vice adrmial.
When Lord Charles Beresford hoisted his flag as chief in command of the Mediterranean station that fleet was considerably reduced in importance under the reorganisation then effected on the initiative of Sir John Fisher when the balance of British naval power was shifted from the Mediterranean to home waters. There are still some who regard this as false strategy and who contend that we ought to be all powerful in the Mediterranean. It is quite conceivable, in view of the rapid growth of the navy of a certain power, which shall be nameless, that we shall have to fight for our very existence in home waters, therefore it is a matter of vital importance under the existing order of things that we should have the strongest fleet where there is every indication will be the most needed.

PROSPECTUS
This Company has been formed for the purposes specified in the Memorandum of Association, and in particular to undertake contractcs for the construction of public buildings, private houses and other works, and to exploit the manafacturs of materials for construction and to acquire and carry on any business useful in this connection.
It is proposed also to purchase, improve, develop lease and otherwise deal with suburban and town properties when acquired, and to develop, building land by the erection of houses or otherwise.
A feature of the business of the Company will be the construction of buildings and houses on credit, the owner being allowed to pay the cost of construction by instalments with interest over an agreed number of years.
The present demand for honsee in Alexandria, Cairo and other towns in Egypt is beyond the capacity of existing constructors, and it is considered that there is ample scope for remunerative business for the Company in this connection.
The Company will also, as opportunity arises, acquire or finance or assist in financing sound industrial or commercial undertakings, more particularly those whose objects are useful to the general scheme of their undertaking.
The arrangements at present made on behalf of the proposed Company and the agreements entered into are as follows:

SALSOMAGGIORE
Hotel Central Bagni
The most recently built Hotel in Salsomaggiore, and on which no expense has been spared to render it completely up to date as regards hygiene and comfort. The Hotel is directly connected with the New Bathing. Establishment by a covered passage.
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 scrofula, rheumatism, tuberculous affections, ladies complaints, etc.
This depends party 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 placae 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 one hour. In and around the town is machto 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 source 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 orgin 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 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 [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 county. In Florence itself the chruchs and galleries are of absorbing interest, whilst the local promendares 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 cogwheel 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 calumns and historical paintings, and the incomparable Campo Santa 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 ltaly 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 Dumino and in half-an-hour you are at Salsomaggiore.

The quickest through Continental routes are by P & O. Brindisi express from Port Said, and the Austrian Lloyd Trieste-Vienna express from Alexandria.
As regards heavy luggage, it must be borne in mind that very little luggage is allowed free on the railways of Europe, but there are several good and responsible forwarding agents in Egypt who undertake at a fixed charge to deliver packages to any address in Europe.
The quickest manner of getting to Europe from Port Said is undoubtedly by the fast Mail Steamers "Osiris" and "Isis" to Brindisi. One of these leaves Port Said every week, as soon as possible after receiving the Indian
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.
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. Aro nd 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 "The Flight into Egypt," by Bramanfion.
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 dlelight 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 Brunuen 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 reciperate. Beautiful walks, through woods, and along the lake shore. Kursaal, Concerts, Casino, Races, Tennis, Boating, etc.
THE BERNESE OBERLAND.— 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, Giessback, Trummelback 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, suarounded by magnificent scenery, with pure dry air. Much frequented by English people in Summer and Winter.
Many people visit Greece after wintering in Egypt, as it is so easily reached from Alexandria ; the climate in April is charming. The best steamers are those of the Khedivial Mail Co. and 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 wortn while to spend a few days in CORFU on account of the beauty of the scenery. There is also good snipe and quail hooting to be had.
mails from the great liner arrived from Bombay.
These small but comfortable ships have enormously powerful engines, and attain a very high rate of speed. They ard 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.

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--
