''Al Minbar," in a recent article, reproves the authors of the "demands" published recently in the Native Press for the foolish and impracticable character of their proposals. The confession, "At this stage of our national advance we are like children, who can avoid a tumble now and again," applies perfectly to the rather absurd young men who combine Free Trade and Protection, the principles of the French Revolution, and the notions that were out of date in Saleh ed Din's days ; and the Editor of the "Minbar" rightly warns his readers that other nations' eyes are fixed on Egypt and that "they will respect us only on condition that we respect ourselves and stand equally aloof from personal ambition and from infantile conduct " Our contemporary follows up his criticism by a vigorous denunciation of the agitation against the British sovereign (we refer to the coin worth P.T 974) .and the proposal to fix the price of necessaties by means of chambers of commerce, which, it rightly remarks, have excited the satirical contempt of a large section of the European Press in Egypt.
But while we agree with our contemporary we cannot refrain from concealing our surprise that the strange demands to which we have referred passed unnoticed, or almost unnoticed, till the European Press had had its laugh. But for 'Al Minbar" they would apparently have passed almost uncriticised, and a cruel deduction might have been drawn from the fact. It is—as our contemporary remarks—hard to prevent young people making fools of themselves, and we are not surprised that a good few young Egyptians show more zeal than intelligence in their proposals What amazes us is that such proposals are not more rapidly seized and criticised by the men whose cause they harm, that it should be left to the European Press to dissect them first, and to occasional native papers to complete the operation
At the annual meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce last week,the President, in reviewing the cotton trade of the past year, mentioned that Turkey was the third largest purchaser of cotton goods from the United Kingdom. In cottons, he said, "The Turk buys from the United Kingdom more than the whole of the rest of Europe. Although the national finances of Turkey left as a whole much to be desired, its economic condition was steadily improving ; the provision of railways in Asia Minor had acted as a great incentive to in- dustry. Owing to an increase of transport having been provided, the people were encouraged to devote more attention to agriculture. Therefore it would be the duty of the Chamber of Commerce to impress on the Foreign Office the supreme importance of that market to Lancashire, and to watch and guard against, if possible, any attempt to raise the Turkish import duties to an excessive level, To what an almost incalculable amount the consuming powers of Turkey would reach under honest government we have exemplified in Egypt, now our fourth best buyer of cotton goods. Able and wise government had worked miracles, and Egypt was using 297 million yards—almost double the amount purchased from us in 1898. A striking contrast to the last-mentioned markets were the wretchedly governed foreign West Indies and Central American Republic (Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala, San Salvador, Honduras,and Costa Rica), who, with their chronic revolutions, miserable petty jealousies,; and armies of generals with consular officers, and restriction at every port, were unable to develop their immense mineral and agricultural resources ; their trade remained stationary, even if it did not decrease."

Five fires occurred in Alexandria last night, and the Fire Brigade, under Yonsha- bi Waller, was busily engaged in coping with its many calls. The conflagrations took place at Bab Sidre, where a stable caught fire ; at Gheit elEnab, on the south bank of the canal, where a large straw store was burnt out ; in Rue Hamamil, where a beer shop was burnt ; in Rue Abon Siri, where a café caught fire; and lastly in a shop in Sisters-street. The most serious of these conflagrations was that on the canal. The fire broke out in a very large store of straw and it was only got under with great difficulty, the hose having to be laid across the canal under the water.

ALEXANDRIA BONDED WAREHOUSE CO. LTD.
Among the masses of banking, financial, transport, industrial, technical and commercial companies, which are shortly to be floated in Egypt, there are some interesting engineering companies, details of which are given below.
We hear on good authority that the well- known engineering firm of Messrs. William Watson and Co. of Alexandria is shortly to be turned into a limited liability company, under Egyptian law. Sir John R. Ellerman, Bart , of London (of the Ellerman Line of Steamer, ) and Messrs. James Moss and Co., of Liverpool, (managers of the Moss SS Co., Limited) will be interested in the new company Messrs R.J. Moss and Co, of Alexandria and Cairo, have been instrumental in bringing the negotiations to a conclusion with Mr. William Watson, of Banff, N.B., and with Mr. James Watson, of Alexandria. The business will be carried on as heretofore and considerable extensions are contemplated in the near future.
Another important engineering company will shortly be floated in Egypt. lt embraces the business of Messrs. Dowie and Company, of Port Said, Messrs. Murdoch and Templeton, of Mansoarah, and the British Engineeriag Compary, of Alexandria. It is to be registered in England under the title of the United Delta Engineers, Limited. The capital is to be £200,000 and there will be 12,000 founders' shares of one shilling each. Ths company will be floated at the end of next month The board will consist of Dr. Milton, Colonel Gordon, Mr. Murdoch, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Baynes, and Mr. Wilson, of London.
The board of directors of this company is composed as follows : Sir West Ridgeway, Governor of Ceylon; Sir E. Constantine Phipps, the Earl of Fingall, Mr. Jscob Hessler, Mr Panos Alexakis, and Mr. Aristide Giro, of Alexandria
The crowds of new flotations, which are to be placed before the Ezyptian public in the near futore, are giving a great deal of work to onr local lawyers, and there is considerable activity being displayed in drawing up the: numerous new prospectures in London the printing firms ba a great deal of extra work thrown on their hands by the phenomenal nomber of new Egyptian flotations and firms are busily engaged in making plates of thonsands of bearer warrants and founders shares, which are eventyally to find their way into the possession of the Egyptian public. The shortest period in which a plate can be executed is a month and the average cost of a plate for a company is £5 These plates are engraved and the greatest London printers have artists specially for the work of sketching for the plates. Many of the forthcoming flotations for the Egyptian market are very tasteful productions. with charming views of Egyptian ruins, Pyramids, Sphinxes, Nile landscapes, and such like local scenes. Some of the new founders' shares are sore to tempt the Egyptian investor as they will be beautiful samplas of the highest type of English artistic printing and the designs alone ought to send the shares up to a premiom. The engraving departments of the London firme, who devote themselves to this class of work, have been extraordinarily busy for the last three months on Egyptian companies, and Messrs Waterlow Bros. and Layton inform us that they have during the present season turned out some hundreds of thousands of bearer Warrants fur Egypt.
The time for the Censos is drawing near. Many persons have already been appointed census enumerators ; others will be appointed shortly. Here and there there seems to be an impression that census work is very onerous and unpleasant, and is likely to interfere with the enumerator, regular duties. This impression is entirely erroneoas. It is hoped that the following considerations wil show that Government intend in every way to study the convenience of enumerators and make their work as public servants as easy as possible.
It is being arranged that, so far as practicable, each person chosen to be an enumerator shall enumerate a block of houses near his home, that is to say, in a neighbourhood where he is likely to be more or less known as a friend and a neighboor.
Except for a few hours on a single night (that of the 29th April, 1907) the enumeration can be done at leisure The preliminary work of writing up the schedules can be spread over six weeks, or more, and can be done by the enumerator a few minutes at a time when he is not otherwise engaged. It need not in any way interfere with his ordinary avocations.
Printed instructions as to how to fill up the census schedule book, which is supplied to each enumerator are bound up in the book itself but enumerators desirons of further information or advice will be able to obtain it from the Census Mawin of the Kism in which they reside or at the Central Census Office, Old Menehieh tribunal Alexandria.
Enumerators and employers of enumerators alike are asked to hear the above facts in mind, and to remember that this public duty has been laid upon the better educated section of the community only because there are not enough people able to read and write in Egypt for it to be possible to carry out in European countries.
There are many in Alexandria who will learn with pain of the tragedy which ocurred on board the Papayanni S.S. Ararat on her way from Liverpool to Alexandris. One of the passengers of the vessel which arrived here yesterday was the Rev. M.T.S. Taylor B.D. well known and respcted at Alexandria who was on his way out to join the Scottish Mission here. On enquiring for him on board yesterday a party of friends, who had gone fown to the docks to meet him, were horrified to learn that the reverend gentleman had disappeared overboard during a storm in the Bay of Biscay.
Three days previous to this occurrence the ship's caprenter was swept overboard by a heavy sea and was likewise drowned.
The Khedive, who spent yesterday at Koubbeh Palace, came this morning to Abdeen, where he presided over the Council of Ministers and officially received the new Belgian Diplomatic Agent, who presented his credentials to the Highness.
The Khedivial Ball which was to have been held on the 28th inst, and was postponed in conseqrence of the death of Prince Abmed Kame: Pasha, will now (says "Al Abram") be held at Abdeen Palace shortly after the expiration of the period of mourning, whn the Maieh will issue the invitations for the ball,
Lord and Lady Cromer returned from Upper Egypt shortly before 12.a.m. on Sunday. Both are in excellent health.
Our Minieh Correspondent writes :—Lord Crower arrived here yesterday (Friday) évening late from his trp to Upper Egypt. Accompanied by the Mondir and Mr. Hopkins, the inspector of the Interior, his lordship visited the children's hospital, the animal infirmary, the bouse of Mr. Ryks, agent of the National Bank, etc. His lordship left to day (Satarday) for Cairo.
The movement in favour of the extension of education gains ground daily. On Thursday afternoon a meeting was held at the Mouditieh of Dakahlieh and the Moundir addressed a meeting of local notables with great eloquence urging them to subsrcibe for the foundation of a school at Mansourah where teachers for the kuttabe a class for which there is a very great demand could be trained. The notables then and there gave practical proof of their sympathy with the Mondir's suggestion by subscribing L.E. 1,5000 for this purpose.
Mr. Edward Dicey, in "Tbe Egypt of the Future," severely criticises Lord Cromer's proposals in regard to the Capitalations. In an interesting passage he remarks :—
"The decision of the Algeciras Conference, cemfirming as it does the non-validity of the free hand accorded to France in Morocco by the Anglo-French Agreement, applies logically to the tree hand in Egypt accorded to England by France.
"According to the precedent established at Algecirar, any European Power which has political or commercial interests or rights in Egypt would be entitled to refuse her consent to any substantial changes which England might propose to introduce into the relations between Egypt and other Continental powers, till thése changes have been approved by as International Conference. There can be no reasonable doubt that it such a Conference were to meet, its first step would be to demand an explicit explanation from England as to whether she intends her military occupation to be permanent or temporary ; and, on the latter hypothesis, when the occupation was to end, or, on the former hypothesis, what guarantees were to be given for the preservation of the rights now possessed in Egypt by the subject of other nations than the two parties to the free-hand agreement. If this is so, I think all British statesmen—to whatever party they may belong, or whatever their views may be as 'to the internal administration of Egypt—will 'agree with me in holding that the present ' moment is singalarly infelicitous for proposing the formal recognition of a British Protectorate over Egypt, or for suggesting the expediency of cancelling the Capitalations and abolishing the International Tribenals."'
A motorist writes: The state of the roads in Alexandria is disgracefal. There has been a hole you could lose horse in in the asphalte nearly outside the "Egyptian Gasstte" offices since November. The asphalte of Rue Toassoun Pasha and that by the French Consulate is as bad, while no macadamising has been done anywhere for nearly a year. Motor-owners need never expect sympathy, but here, we get a whacking great tax for owning them, and the people who tax as leave the roads in such a state that cur cars get ruined in few months

Ramleh's Fashionable Hotel.

Full Pension P.T. 50 a day. Visitors fron Cairo alight at Sidi-Gaber Station.
G. AQUILINA, Proprieter.
The formal inauguration of the latest addtion to the hotels of Alexandria, the new Sivoy Palace Hotel in Rosetta-avence, took pace on Saturday last and proved a most successful social function, Invitations to an 'st home" in the afternoon had been issued by the management in a liberal manner and these were so largely responded to that a continual stream of visitors, representing the rank and fashion of Alexandria; poored into the hotel from 4 to 7 pm., the number of guestts present being estimated at over 2 000.
We have already given our readers a detailed description of the Savoy Palace, so that it is needless to recapitolate here. Everyone, however, who visited the salons and rooms of the hotel, most of which were thrown open to the guests, were load in their praises of the magnificent furnishings and equipment of the house, which, as we have already said, is equal to any first-class hostelry in Cairo or out of it a delightful winter garden came in for special admiration, and here it was that the numerous guests were regaled at a sumptoous buffet, which, not withstanding the enormonos demands on it, never seemed to feel the strain. While the guests indelged in refreshments the band of the Royal Dublio Fosiliers, under Band- master Fawoett, kindly lent for the occasion, discoursed a choice selection of music, of which the programme follows :-— Khedivial Hymn. God save the King. Maroh—Les Gamins de Paris—Berger. Reminiscences of All Nations—Godfrey. Dasoriptive Pitoe—The Phantom Brigade— M yddieton. Li cidental music to Monsiour Beaucaire— Rosse, Buca- Two Step—Whietling Rufus—Kerry Millo. _[lossi
It was not till close on eight o'clock before the last of the guests bidden to the inaugaration had left the hotel, all enchanted with what they had seen, and preparations were then made for the dinner given by the hotel directors to a number of their friends and representatives of the Press. This took place at: nine o'clock, over 150 covers being laid in the beautiful dining room, which was almost dazzling with its myriads of electric lights and bright decoration. To say that the menu of the dinner was excellent would be according but faint praise, The Savoy Palace has manifestly acquired the services of a master of the culinary at, and he was evidently bent on making a success of the inaugaral dinner. That he achieved this success was the unanimous verdict of all the guests. The menu is worthy of reproduction, and we give it below -— Caviar—Seumon fumé Consommé double tasse Créme d'artichauts Poulardes and la Neva ' Granite Vve. Clicquot Perdreaux truffes sur canapes Salade Rachel Asperges en branches, sauce mal taise P aux violettes Geaux Montpensier Mi ises Fruits et dessert Sherry — Madére— Portwine Niersteiner—Sauternes 1899— Beaune Pontet-Canet 1900—Due de Montebello cachet rouge Pommery et Greno godt americain
Great credit is due to Mr.Rudilf Springer of "Al Hayat fame" who is general manager, and Mr. As Anber the manager of the hotel, for the great success of Saturday's arrangements, which was carried out without the slightest hitch.
We understand that a large number of rooms of the hotel are already occupied and the management expect to be full up soon.
The winter garden of the hotel, which is perhaps its most striking feature, promises to become a very popolar rendezvous for afternoon tea. Yesterday, something like 800 teas were served to a fashionable gathering. An Italian orchestra discoursed music, and will continue to do 80 every afternoon from 5 to 6.
There was considerable gratification to be derived from last night's pianoforte and violin recital at the Savoy Palace Hotel, not only because concerts have this season been conspicious by their absence, but also from the singularly correct and pleasant manner in which the Marqois Francesco Filiasi and Maestro Vinoezv Cantani's programme was executed. To begin with, Grieg's Sonata (0p. 45) was effectively interpreted, particularly as regards the pianoforte score. Chopin was then drawn upon for two Preludes (17-22) which were asccurately taken ; followed by Noctarne No. 1 (Op. 62), which proved less attractive than its successor, the Polonaise No. 9 (Op. 40). Here the Marqaise Filiasi's techniqne showed to great advantage, though his touch is perhaps not all that might be desired. Maestro Cantaoi then gave two movements of Max Broach, of which the rendering of the Adagio was as expressive and delicate as that of the Allegro was' brecing and spirited. This was followed by a stirring Scherzo for pianoforte by Luigi Piliasi. Of the Marquis's own compositions we preferred the first, a very suave and raelodious Romearss; for his Mazorka de Concert may be said to rather lack sympathy and lucidity. The programme concluded with Wieniawsky's Fantasy on Gounod's "Faust," which extremely difficult and somewhat unrelourative piece was brilliantly executed by Maestro Cantani.
The restavrant of the new hotal lands itself pretty well for entertairment of this description, though the acoustic leaves something to we wished for, and we should call the management's attention to the noise of clinking glasses and stage whispers proceeding from the service quarters.
On Friday, 7th inst., advantage was taken of the presence in Nicosia of several visitors from the districts who had come up to see "The Gsisba" to arrange a subscription dance at the theatre. The house was tastefully decorated and the stage was converted into a lounge. The dance was fairly well attended and it is said that a small sum will be handed over to tbe hospitals from the proceeds.
So marked was the success recorded last week of the "Geisha" performances, that an invitation promptly came from Famagusta for the company to proceed there and act on Satorday, the 9th, in aid of the local hospital. The company accordingly left Nicosia that afternoon, the station being crowded to witness their deperture. The inhabitants of Famagusta also turned out in force to welcome them on arrival and there was much coming and going between the hotels, club, and private houses, where different members of the caste were being billeted. The local stage and room were too small to conveniently hold so large a number of performers but the play went well and was excellently received, and, after defraying all expenses, a useful little sum will be handed over to the hospital.
Heavy rains have again fallen over a large part of the Island, which is now clothed in verdant green.
We learn that Mr. J. A. Bucknill, son of Mr. Justice Buckoill, has been appointed to the office of King's Advocate in Cyprus, in succession to Mr. W. Rees Davies. Mr. Bucknill has lately been Commissioner and Registrar of Companies and Trades Marks in the Transvaal.
We are glad to learn that Miss Michell, daughter of the Commissioner of Limassol, who was thrown from her horse a wesk or two ago and severely shaken, is now very much better.
The sponge fishing Season of 1906 was very succesful, the total catch being far larger than in the last few years, and the prices obtained on sale were also higher.
The second of a series of concerts which are now being given at the British Club, Alexandria, took place on Saturday evening last, with Admiral Sir Morsie Blomfield, K.C.M.G., in the chair. There was a large attendance of members and their lady friends and the room reserved for the concert was filled to overflowing. The programme on this occasion was due to the efforts of Mr. A. R. Brown, who recently accepted the chairmanship of the Entertainment Committee, and be, must have been justly proud of the result of 'his work of the past week or two, for we were presented with a capital entertainment lasting about three hours, and the arrangements left nothing to be desired.
The programme comprised the following : pianoforte solo, Mr. A.W.C. Roll ; solo, "The little red Fox," Mr. J. B. Clarke; 'cello solo, "My Dream," Mr. A.G. Lias; humorous song, "Tobermory," Mr. J. Mitchell ; song, "Twankydillo," Mr. H.E.C Moss; solo, "Glorious Devon," Mr. G. Ferguson ; musical interlude, Mr. U. W. Shirreff; violin and piano duet, ' Polonaise,' Mr. T Gilmour and Miss Bell; song, "Go to See," Mr. Harold Sheldrick ; pianoforte solo, Mr. A.W.C. Roll; song, "Lorraine Lorraine Lorree" Mr. J. B. Clarke ; violin and piano duet, (a) Intermeszzo, "Cavalleria Rastioan:," (b)' Shepherds' Dance," Mr. Gilmour and Miss Bell ; solo, ''Deathless Army," Mr. Harold Sheldrick ; song, "The Three Beggars," Mr. H.E.C. Mose; solo, 'Out on the Deep," Mr. G. Pergason ; homorous song, 'Safest of the family," Mr. J Mitchell; sketch (a) Imitation of a 38 act British Draws,(b) 'My Experience of Italian Opera," Mr. C. W. Shirreff.
It was a pleasare to listen to every one of the above items, and we hope that it will be our good fortune to hear them repeated very soon. We would especially mention the fine voice of Mr. G. Fergason, who delighted the audience with his singing; the violin and pianoforte duets of Mr. Gilmoor and Miss Bell, which were rendered with brilliant taste and execution ; the comic songs of Mr. J. Mitchell, including some "patter" rendered with a genuine Scotch accent which was extremely amusing; and last but not least, the droll humour of Mr. C. W. Shirreff, who kept his hearers in continous roars of laughter with his clever ''Tricks" and 'Sketches."
At the close of the concert Mr. W. F Sarjeant proposed a hearty vote of thanks to M. A. R Brown for having been responsible for such an enjoyable evening, and to all those who had so kindly given their assistance. " The proposal was promptly responded to by three roaring cheers in the good old British fashion, and the evening was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem.
Members of the club are reminded that a progressive whist party will be held on Saturday next, commencing at 9 p.m., and progressive bridges is arranged for the following Saturday.

Two women opera singérs and a nurse are atill on the wreck of the Berlin. They are too feeble to clasp the life line. One of them has a broken arm. The blizzard continues and there is little hope of resoning them alive. 'Throughtout the afternoon repeated snowfalls hampered the rescue operations but at low tide the rescuers were enabled to land on the lighthouse end of the pier, which represented a distance of two miles accomplished in the midst of furious surf. From there a rope was fling unto the wreck. At the turn of the tide the boats were compelled to leave, after having rescued 11 persons. Prince Henry worked with the greatest energy, encouraging the life-boatmen, whom he accompanied on board the tag. He said he would not return to the Hagne till all had been saved. He gave his fur coat to help to wrap up one of the recscued persons, some of whom were terribly frost bitten.
The survivors give the most pathetic accounts of how they watched their friends being swept away by the waves, particularly one lady who was lost just prior to the commencement of the rescue work. The sesmen shared their provisions with the passengers, but all were without food for 24 hours ( Feuter )
The three remaining women on the Berlin have been saved.
All the rescued persons are progressing satistactorily. The rescue of the three last was due to the initiative of a Dutch skipper, who with three companions climed into the wreck and found the women huddled among tte corpses unable to walk. They had to be brought in oradley, into which they were tied, over the life-line to the tug. ( Feuter)
The newspapers are full of hearty tributes to the gallantry and devotion to the Dutch life boatmen and warmly praise Prince Henry's indefatigable efforts. ( Reuter)

The Austrian Lloyd S.S. Imperatrix, en route to Bombay, has gone ashore off Cape Elephanonissi. Her position is critical. (Havas)
Later accoonts of the strauding of the Imperatrix are still confused, but it is clear that the vessel is in a most dangerous position. Her stern is submerged and only her bows are showing. The disaster happened during the night. There were 200 passengers on board. It is feared the lose of life is heavy. Twelve persons have been brought ashore but they are too exhansted to state particulars. The warships are standing by trying to render aid. R.)
Three men-of-war, French, Italian, and Russian, suceeded in salvaging the S.S. Imperatrix. The number of victims is probably considerable, as the catastrophe took place durirg the night. (Havas)

With the growth of the suburbs aboat Alexandria it will not be long before the promontory of Aboukir becomes a fashionable summoer resort ; and indeed already there are a certain number of small houses on the shore, which, though empty and devolate at the moment, are doubtless in request as soon as the warm weather appears to drive the world out of the hot and saltry streets of the great port. One can realize even On a cold and windy winter day, when the little village is only tenanted by its native population,and Santi's Hotel is practically deserted, what a charming piece it must be under blue skies, with the desert blooming under foot, with its tiny wild flowers, with its foam of surf basting on one shore, while on the other lie the placid waters of the bay. The station lies at the term nus of that single line of the E.S. Railway which rans from Sidi Gsber past Riweh and Mootassh, where it passes the great summer palace of the Khedive sarrounded by its enormous gardens The trains thereto run fairly frequently throughout the day, the train line from Alexandria out to Rameh landing one in convenient proximity to the station at Sidi Gaber; the whole journey is made in comfort in under an hour,
The modern history of Aboukir and its claims to remembrance are too well known to be detailed here. The great sea battle of 1798, when Nelson's fiset surroanded that of Admiral de Broeya and practically annihilated the French Navy of that day, was fought just within the bay ; a great military battle between the French and the Turks also took place on land there the following year; and in 1801 another disastrons eng gewe, took place between the French and English on much the same ground. This first sea engagement which has come down to us as the 'Battle of the Nile," gave our great admiral the title of Baron Nelson of the Nile; and in consequence of his victory, Aboukir Island, which doubtless at one time formed part of the continent, was afterwards known to the world as Nelson Island. It was in connection with one of the tragic circumstances of this battle that Mrs. Hemaus, the poeters of our early years, wrote that poem 'The bey stood on the burning deck, etc.," which immortalized the courage and death of that youthful son of Captain Casabiancs, a former deputy of Frances a poem which nowadays is almost better known to us by reason of its various perodics than in its original and pathetic form.
The early and classical history of Aboukir is also of greatest interest, though the mist of intervening ages has made it dificult to locate the different positions occupied by the towns and tempeé, of ths promontory. The temple of Arsince and the exact locality of Canopus have been matters for dispute for many generations; but it seems probable that if the island once joined the mainland the temple occupied a spite on the former. This temple was built in honour of that goddess, Queen Arsiuoe, sister-wife to Pttlemy Thiisuelybus, and to it repaired all those who wished to implore her favour and protection against the dangers of the deeps. Here also in later days Berenica deposited her beautiful locks after the successes of her husband Energetes I. in Syria (B.C. 25) according to her vow, There is a pretty mythological sequence to this history; for the locks having been stolen from the temple and no trace being found of them on earth, the celebrated astronomer of Samos, Conon, concieved the pretty conciet of naming a newly discovered cluster of stars alter them "Kowé Bereuivis."
Where now stands the modern village of Aboukir, there existed long ago the Greek town of Mevouhis, where stood thy sanctuary of Luis Mediva, that celebrated goddess of Egyptian magic and healing ; and near the same loyalty was Canopus, which contained the temple of Sarapia, which town was a famous resort of the pleasure loving took of Alexandria and at one time was the religious capital of the conutry,
The names Abbs Kir or Aboo Kir date from the times of the persecution of Diosletian (304 A D.). Two celebrated Christian Alexandrians, Cyrus and Johaune , fell victims to this persecution of the Roman Empire; and after many viciseltudes and torture they were horribly put to death. Their remains were brought back to Alexandria and uterred in St. Mark's Church and eventually after the accession of the Empereor Theodsus II, the consequent triumph og the Chrisitan faith, and the destrcution of the temples, the bodie of there two marrys St. Kir and St. Johu were transferred from Alexandria to Meouthi Tuis St. Cyrus or St. Kir had been a marvelous physician during his lifetime; and many were the miracles and marvellous oures attributed to him after death. The sanctuary became famous not only in the neighbourhood byt throughout the length and breadth of the country, until in time the previous name of the locality became lost before the inc easing significant Aboa-Kir was Hanua.
A very interesting lecture was given in Alexandria a few years ago by Admiral Sir Massie Blomfield on the modern and ancient history of Aboukir, from a copy of which we are indebted for many of the notes above. It is said thatn one of the present day knows more of the locality than Mr.G.B. Alderson of Alexaandria who has a house in the neighbourhood and who has been a very great benefactor to the village of to-day.
Of the ancient remains there is not much to be seen by the casual observer.
The villahe mosque is mostly modern and there is nothing in the native left
different to that of other villages. Deserted forta dating from the days of
the French occupation dominate the heights
The only hotel at present in Aboukir has been in Saai's hands for some tims In summer it abounds with visitors and there are rumours of others about to be erected. The shores are favorite resorts for picnic excursions, and there is every reason to believe that before long it will take its place among the other seaside suburbs of Alexandria.

Je dépression qui s'acoentae de jour en jour sur le marché des valeurs est l'objet des préoceapations géaérales et donne lieu sox inqaiétades les plas légitimes. On se demande bon droit si cette crise est appelée conti nuet et si elle ne doit pas aboatir foroément ane débécle.
Tl dat uatarel que les yas pessimistes pré valeat, surtoat en présence de ta baisse qai frappe les meillears titres; mais l'opinion des compétentes est qve le danger est exagéré. De fait la crise actuelle ne provient pas d'excés de spécalation syant porté les bon- nes valeurs A des prix trop élevée, mais sim. plement do chef da trop grand nombre da ti- tres pooveaox lancés sans discontinuation depuis trois mois sor le.march4 ézyptien, L'argent drainé de la sorte est évalué 4 la somme élcquente d'environ 6,000,000 de livres, et nous ne sommes pas aa bout, car on an- nonce deux noavelles émiseivns pour la se- maine prochaine, sans compter one dizasine d'aatres qui se préparent pour le mois de Mars et actant poar Avril.
" Le pays s'enrichit, ot jecte-t-on ; la surpro- . dndtion da ceton, venda de baots prix, lai a vala cette angée plusieurs millions de livres de plus. Ii n'en est pas moins patent que la disproportion est énorme entre la richesse s0- nise et les asacts qoe lui livrentles lancenrs de titres nouvesox, étant donné sartont qv' une faible partie de cette richesse s'emploie en valeors. )
On voit dée lors od git le mal,-qai west 'pas inoarable. Tout danger de k serait aiegment éliminé si les promotears Ciniidlons noavelles prenaient patience et remettaient Ja réaliestion de leurs appels de fonds des temps meilleurs."

"The Egyptian Gazette" Series is the most artistic collection to be found in Egypt.
"The Egyptian Gazette" Series is the most artistic collection to be found in Egypt.
The Egyptian Gazette has much pleasure in presenting to its subscribers the accompanying description of some of the many interesting routes by which they may travel homewards. Great care has been taken to arrange them as accurately and concisely as possible, and it will be found that none of them are fraught with difficulty. In choosing the route home there are several things to be considered. To begin with there is the difference in climate between Egypt and the various points at which you may arrive in Europe.
This depends partly upon the month in which you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may be a little warmer than the Riviera and possibly not so warm as Sicily, but in March it will be warmer than Rome, and more uniformly warm than many other places in Europe. Many people leave Egypt far too early in the year, for as a rule the weather in April and May is perfect. The warmest place to go to on leaving Egypt is Sicily.
Some will want to take into consideration the number of days to be spent at sea, and we therefore subjoin a list shewing the time occupied on each of the various routes between Egypt and the Continent of Europe.
They are as follows:—
The long sea routes—from Port Said or Alexandria to Plymouth, Southhampton, London or Liverpool—occupy about 14 days. The short ones are as follows:—
The steamers of the P.& O., the Egyptian Mail S.S,. Co., North German Lloyd, Orient, and Messageries Maritimes are the largest. The Anchor, British India, Bibby and Henderson Lines are also excellent, and their steamers are largely patronised by travellers to Egypt.
As regards the train journeys from Cairo, the shortest is that to Alexandria, without change (3 hours). That to Port Said can now be made without change in 4 ½ hours.
The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines of steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. The German Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg.
The quickest through Continental routes are by P.& O. Brindisi express from Port Said, by the Egyptian Mail S.S. Co., from Alexandria to Marseilles and the Austrian Lloyd Trieste Vienna express from Alexandria.
As regards heavy luggage, it must be borne in mind that very little luggage is allowed free on the railways of Europe, but there are several good and responsible forwarding agents in Egypt who undertake at a fixed charge to deliver packages to any address in Europe. The Egyptian Mail S.S. Co., have also made arrangements whereby luggage can be collected and sent to any address.
The quickest manner of getting to Europe from Port Said is undoubtedly by the
fast Mail Steamers "Osiris" and "Isis" to Brindisi. One of these leaves Port
Said every week, as soon as possible after receiving the Indian
These small but comfortable ships have enormously powerful engines, and attain a very high rate of speed. They are called the "Ferry Boats" having been specially built to carry the British mail from Port Said to Brindisi. If you are going straight through to England you will find the train waiting at Brindisi which will take you to Calais without changing. It has complete arrangements for sleeping and eating on board, and you should arrive in London on the fifth day from leaving Port Said.

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

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

Elles ne craignent ni le dégoût ni la fatigue, parce que, à l'opposé des autres purgatifs, celui-ci n'opère bien que lorsqu'il est pris avec de bons aliments et des boissons fortifiantes, telles que vin, café, thé. Chacun choisit, pour se purger, l'heure et le repas qui lui conviennent le mieux, selon ses occupations. La fatigue de la purgation étant annulée par l'effet de la bonne alimentation, on se décide aisément à recommencer autant de fois que cela est nécessaire.
