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

The correspondence which we publish from our Aden Correspondent shows plainly that there is no improvement in the disturbed state of the Yemen. It is possible that something may be effected by the commission, which, according to Reuter's despatch of yesterday, is on its way to the Yemen with the objedt of making terms with the^nsurgents, but it appears to us far. more likely that their journey will be as fr itlosi a3 that of the commission sent from Mecca in the autumn of last year. The Imam demands autonomy for the Yemen with the payment of an annual subsidy to Turkey, but that Turkey would make such a concession cannot for ono moment be imagined. Under such circumstances it is evident tliat the present condition of affairs must' continue, and even grow more serious, until the insurgents are finally crushed.
But before this can be accomplished great sacrifices in money and lives will have to be made by the Porte, and a more vigorous policy followed, for it. must be remembered that the Turks have to deal with numerous tribes, and not a soliiary rebel tribe. This view of the situation is strengthened by the fact that the Imam's fighting men number several lacs, and are scattered through many districts, and although they are wanting in organixation and cohesion, yet they are trained shots and are all of them armed with modem rifles either captured from ^he Turks or imported from Djibuti. They are a warlike people innured to hardships, and fight with truo religious fervour. The Zaidees consider their war with the Turks a* a jedah, or holy war, and they consider that those -who die fighting are tnartyrsL Their belief in the Imam only falls short of idolatry. It is carried so far as to assert that the Imam is receiving spiritual 1 aid in all his movements against the Turks.
According to their doctrine the Imam or Caliph ! must be a descendant of Massan and must be pious and well-versed in Mohamedan law.
The better treatment of Turkish troops ! in the Yemen would go a long way towards (increasing their chances of success agaiust the rebels. Turkish deserters are continually coming to Laheg and the surrounding places and also to Aden, where some of them find employment and others live by beggitag. The I main is now engaged iu fortify ing his positions, in strengthening Slfajiarn, iu making | trenches, and scarfing hills. He is making preparation for a great struggle which, is now generally anticipated, and ho is also said to have gut huld of some Turkish deserters in 8baar.ib to diill his men in gunnery.

The fine house of Count Antoine de Zogheb was en tete on Friday night when ono of the most successful private balls of .the season was in progress No modem horse in Cairo can be compared with this, which is built after the best Arab model and decorated with wonderful musbrabeah work Handsome embroidered curtains surrounded the line entrance on Friday night, the Count and Countess standing in the hall at the head of the flight of marble steps leading from the vestibule. Dancing was enjoyed in the great ball, from which the beautiful wooden and winding staircase led to the galleries above, galleries which are enriched with any examples of mushrabeah work and which formed perfect resting places for onlookers of the gay scene below. The floral decorations in conjunction with the art treasures, the Arab tiles, the hanging lamps and the carved woodwork made a most perfect setting for a brilliant function, and one can well understand how invitations were sought for under such conditions. Some four hundred invitations had been biased on the occasion, and very few of these can have been refused, judging from the crowds in the dancing ball and gallery, on the stairs, and later on in the "buffet and supper rooms of all the, handsome and well dressed women present, no one could compare with the hostess, Countess de Zogheb, as she passed among her guests in a really, beautiful gown of white with long angel sleeves wrought about with fine lace. She was wearing lovely diamonds and pearls and was the cynosure of all eyes she stood at the head of the marblestep receiving her friends on their arrival. Both M. and Mine Klobukcwski were present,the latter only having: returned to Cairo that afternoon, and nailing cithers were noticed Mrs. and Miss Bullock, Mrs G Royle who was wearing blue and Mrs. Maclean in a handsom frock of pink Col. and Mrs Drummond Hay were present, the latter in a very pretty gown of pink satin diamentee, and the Mrs. Coles were in white muslin trimmed with bands of gold tissue Mrs Horiblower, wearing a very handsome dress of lace, brought her niece, Miss Smith, who was in white satin relieved with lace, and Miss Tuck, who came with Judge and Mrs. Tuck, was in white with incrustations of heavy lace. M, Mine and the Miles Villebois were there, as were Mr and Mrs Carton de Wiart, the latter in a beautiful frock of cream satin.

"Does the Egyptian section of tho Mining Market on the London Stock Exchange," asks, the "Globe" * "really exist" ? That it did so at one- time we know, but that unexpereinced option of Mr. J. B Robinson Nile Valleys seems to have been the beginning of the ,en-l. There is a scarcity of newsfrom Egypt with reference to those gold mining ventures whose names are pretty well known over here?. We presume that work is still going on on the properties, but in many cases it must be alter a desultory fashion, because working capitals, if not already exhausted, must be on the point of running dry, * and in the present condition of affairs the raising of further funds would appear to be an absolute impossibility. That there is gold in Egypt admits of no doubt, and at one time, it looked as, though the land of the Pharaohs would take a prominent place in the gold production of the world. It is to be feared that the original hopes of many have been falsified by events. The promoters almost unanimously blame Lord Cromer for the rigid manner in which he has supervised the formation of companies and the numerous provisions (some of them of rather a drastic character) which promoters have had to accede to before permission could bo granted for the commencement of mining. On the other hand, Lord Cromer has taken up the position that only mines sufficiently developed to prove their worth should be allowed to pass into tho hands of companies. Tho Egyptian wild-cat accordingly is practically unknown, and inferentially it would seem that the very fact that Lord Cromer's iprimatur had been placed upon an existing company ought to prove a sufficient guarantee for honest exploitation. Howover, all the same, there is nothing doing in the section, and it - is difficult to suggest what events are likely to arise which would make for the resumption of market activity.

Unrest still prevails in the Yemen, and, rather than quietening down, the insurgents are becoming more formidable and troublesome. The latest news obtainable here is that a certain A1 Mikkad, one of the Imam's chiefs, with the aid of 900 follow, ers intercepted a convoy of 400 Turkish troops, which were taking a sum of 53,000 dollars collected in taxes from Taez and the outlying Turkish districts, to Hans, The two forces made battle, the Turks lost about 300 killed and wounded, and the rest being put to flight, the insurgents secured the money.
The forces of A1 Mikkad increased rapidly until, as is said, they reached a strength of 6,000, and they then proceeded to Kholan, a large district east of Sana inhabited by Zoidees, who are of a revolutionary character. Here again there was fierce fighting and both sides suffered heavy losses A1 Mikkad's foreo is now reported to have reached Manakha, where their object is to break the communication between Hodeida and Sana.
Thirteen battalions of Turkish troops recently left Amran, the base of the Turkish operations against the Imam, for Eial Yazeed, a mountain 20 miles away, with the object of advancing against. Shahara, but were met by tho troops of the Imam, and after beavy fighting in which serious losses were inflicted upon both forces, the Turks wero compelled to retreat upon Amren.
It will be remembered that during his occupation of Sana last year tho Imam managed to secure all the arms and ammunition which wero stored there, and these he transferred to Shahara. A special commission was sent to Shahara by the Sultan to make overtures of peace, but this proved fruitless, the Imam-demanding autonomy for the Yemen (vide "Egyptian Oazotto", October 23, 1906).
While the negotiations were proceeding, h jwover, General Faizi Pasha, having no faith in the pourparlers engaged himself in establishing military posts between Hodeida and Sana, and between Sana and Amran, laying up stores and provisions at the latter centre qu the conclusion of the operations General Faizi Pasha marched against Shahara, a desperate fight ensued and the Turks hod to retire upon Amran with their force depleted by 2,000 men killed and wounded.
A report has reached Cairo to the effect that severe fighting has occurred in Nejd, Central Arabia, between the forces of the Einir of Hail, a cousin of Emir Mu'tib who was recently murdered, and those of the Wahabi Emir, of tjie house of Saoud, who is said to contemplate the annexation of the country round Hail The Turks arc said to be espousing the cause of the chief of Hail and to huvo collected troops and munitions of war nt a place called Medaui Saleh, south of Tebotik which is only four days by camel from Hail.
The Counters of Meath, writing from the Hotel Beau-Rivage, Rahleh, on the 6th inst, sends us the following communication:—
"Before Lord Meath and I leave this country for Europe, early next week, may I venture once more to trespass on your kindness in asking for a little space in which to make known the claims of the Industrial School for the Blind, in Alexandria I am happy to say there seem to be bright prospocts for this useful Institution and a great hope that its work may shortly be considerably extended. At the present moment, however, its funds are greatly strained owing to its having been thought well to lay in a very large supply of material from England, costing over £100. Moreover, ns there have been no bazaars held for the benefit of tbi9 .establishment for the last ^ two seasons, there i$ a considerable stock of nns-Jd goods waiting lor purchasers. Iam happy to say these article are strong and well- made and any persons needing wickerwork chairs, tables, baskets, etc could do well to visit the School, situated in tho Ciccolani Gardena, and thus have an opportunity of seeing for themselves how skilful the poor sightless lads have become under the tuition of English teachers. A most encouraging visitor camo lately to the Institution—a Bedouin Arab Shiek He took a deep and intelligent interest in all that he saw, and he was evidently quite astonished to find that the blind conld not only become clever workmen, but that they should be able to read, write, learn arithmetic and do so much that persons possessed with the blessing of sight accomplish Before leaving he not only pronounced benedictions uihJii those who promoted such work, but he also produced 10 sovereigns which he laid down ou the table and said he wished to become a yearly subscriberof that amount Such unsolicited help makes one feel that though the English are sometimes struck by the app.reut want of gratitude of the Egyptians for the wonderful impTOvemcntawronghtin their country of late, yeO that works of mercy, giviug help and cheer to sufferers, are certain to draw forth tho kindly feelings of people whatever may be their creed or their nationality Thanking you very sincerely for the kind help you have given us in making known the needs of the Institution.

We read that in reply to the shareholders cry for help, the Government have refased, Hjler ticomontki/uUrontidtralion of Ik* matter to take off tlie 8 % tax on native labor (otherwise called Excise Duty).
We further read "As a matter of fact it would appear to be conclusive that bad Government been able to save this industry by simply raising the Excise duty, or ov$u suspending it for a few years, it would have done sa It also becomes the morii remarkable that these Cotton Mills established in 1899 in a cotton growing country and placed under a skilled English manager have not paid a dividend, nor have they ever been able to compete against the Lancashire Mills "
We first of all remembor that this Company and a Company at Alexandria, both Spinners and Manufactures of Cotton, are the only companies in Egypt whose industries are taxed.
We next remember that the promoters of this Company were under tlie impression when the Company was floated that it would bo exempt from excise doty, naturally; next, that the Company was informed whilst its premises wero building, that they would have to pay.
I believe I nm right in saying that Lord Cromer was interviewed about the matter by the then Chairman of Directors of tho Company and his Lordship offered to exempt the Company from the tax for six years.
This offer was refused by the Company and they contested the legality of any imposition being made at any time On the results of the trial I give you the following extract from a well written leader in the "Egyptian Gazette" of 21 February 1902
'The judgmeut delivered yesterday by the Mixed Court of Appeal in- the Cotton Mills case Is not one which the man in the street will recognise as being acceptable fo justice or I reason. Wo are not concerned in, nor do we proposo to discuss here, the legal questions' involved and discussed with so much eloquence It is enough for us that the collective wisdom of the Court of Appeal has thought fit to revise ' tho unanimous judgement of five judges of the ' Court of 1st 'Instance and to pronounce legal' a tax on tlie native industries of the country" ( I next pass on to the Balance sheets of the . Company for the year's workending Sjpt. 30 05 and Sept 30'06. I find results as follows :

When one considers that the Company's mill is only a small one as compared with tho Big mills in England one wonders after so good a gross return which is equal in the first instance to 9% and in the 2nd instance nearly 6% on its enormous capital, why better j nett results have not been attained.

Tho mill, if I mistake not, commenced working in the summer of 1901
To sum up the whole, we find that probably ' the cost of the place was more than the first Ditectora anticipated.
They had to borrow money at the outset to start their disastrous career On top of this the cost of teaching raw labor until it was profitable must have lasted over at least four j years, directly or indirectly, and must have ' cost a large sum of money. Any company ' must also suffer expense in getting its business going properly, finding tho necessary markets and wearing down native prejudice.

But what can be said about the excise duty paymonta ( Money demanded, from a com- pany who employs for its labor solely the natives of the country mid which is pa<sing through a losing period owing principa !y to theso same natives being so raw and unskilled as to make the production of the mill unprofitable. Where is the help that should have been given to this company as the pioneers of so valuable an industry and who have so greatly helped to improve the native ? Is this not worth paying for to some extent ?
It is evident from the results of the Company's working for 1905 and
1906 that they were then just emerging from their difficulties and wero

Sir, — The communication in the " Manchester Guardian " today from your Cairo correspondent respecting cotton mills in Egypt is interesting and important to the staple trade of Iatncashire, especially in regard to the cotton duties and Excise in that country. As I happened to have something to do with the question when the new mills started in Egypt, I may perhaps be allowed to say that I made representations to the home Government pointing out that, as in the case of India, it would be necessary to put on a count, errailing Excise duty of 8 per cent on all goods manufactured by tbe Egyptian mills.
I contended that it would be only fair olid just that if our goods entering Egypt had to pay an import duty of 8 per cent a countervailing Excise duty should lie levied at the mills.
I am aware that Lord Cromer has visited tlie mills, and that great pressure has been put upon him to take off the Excise tax, but if my information is correct there is no likelihood of the Egyptian Government meeting the wishes of the cotton mill shareholders in that country—Tours, &c.,

Sir,—Borne time ago a letter appeared in- your paper pointing out tho disgraceful state of the Kcneh Railway'Station. As a frequent user of this station I am sorry to say no steps have yet been taken to remedy these defects and, except on moonlight nights, only blackness still prevails, and tha unfortunate traveller lias carefully to grope his way about at the imminent risk of falling into ono of the pits of varying depth which abound on the platform. As amatterof factthcrearoeightsmall oil lamps but tho authorities either from economy or fear of injuring their patrons eyesight by tho excessive brilliancy of the illumination only light every other lamp. There are thus 4 feeble lamps on the platform which by the dim shadows they cast rather tend to make the platform more dangerous than it is by nature. —Yours faithfully,

TESTIMONY FROM SYRIA
A few days ago we reviewed Miss Gertrude Lothian Bell's interesting book on Syria "The Desert of the Sown." This work has peculiar interest for Egypt because ol the remarkable proofs of the renown which Egypt has obtained throughout Syria owing to its progress under the British Occupation. In the course of her journeys Miss Bell was constantly coming across Arabs and Syrians who interrogated her as to British rule in Egypt, the benefits of which they desired, or believed they desired, to see extended to themselves. One of her friends had a cousin who was a clerk in Alexandria, who had told him of the wonderful growth in riches of the fellaheen, and how the desert had become as peaceful as the cities. Here is a description of the Pax Britannica in Egypt which is well worth the attention of those who believe, or profess to believe, that our rule in Egypt is a crushing, tyranny loathed by the people who have to endure its miseries:—
" 'Blood feud has ceased,' said he, 'and raiding ; for when a man steals another's camels, look you what happens. The owner of the camels comes to tho nearest konak and lays his complaint, and a zaptieh rides out alone through the dejort till ho reaches tho robber's tent Then be throws the salaam and enters. What docs the lord of the tent do 1 he makes coffee and trios to treat the raptich as a guest But when the soldier has dronk the coffee he places money by tho hearth, saying, "Take this piastre," and so he pays for all he eats and drinks and accepts nothing. And in the morning he departs, leaving orders that in so many days the camels Twist be at the konak. Then tho robber, being afraid, gathers together the camels and sends thorn in, and one, may be, is missing, so that the number is short. And the judge says to the lord of tho camels, "Are all the beasts hero 1" and he replies, "There is one missing." And ho says, "What is its value I" and he answers, "Eight liras." Theu tho judge says to tho other, "Pay him eight liras." Wallah 1 ho pays.' Fellah ul 'Isa expressed no direct approval of tho advantages of this system, but he listened with interest whilo I explained the principles of the Fellahin Bank, 1 as far os I understood them, and at tbo end he asked whether Lord Cromor could not be induo- cd to oxtend his rulo to Syria, an invitation that 1 would not undertake to accept in his name. ! Five years before, in tho Hauran mountains, a similar question hail been put to me, and the answering of it had taxed my diplomacy The Druie sheikhs of Kanawat had assembled in my tent under shadow of night, and after much 1 cautious beatibg about the hush and many assurances frotmme that no ouo was listening, they had askedxwhether if the Turks again broke their treaties with the Mountain, the Druzes might take refuge witl\ Lord Cromer in j Egypt, and whether I would not charge myself with a message to him. I replies! with the air , of one weighing the proposition in nil its aspects* that the Druzes wero people of tho hill country, and that Egypt was a plain, and would therefore scarcely suit them. Tho Sheikh el Balsil looked at tho Sheikh ed Din, and the horrible visiou of a land without mountain paths easy fo defend, must have opened before their eyes, for thoy replied that tho matter required much thought, and I heard no more of it Nevertheless the moral is obvious : all over Syria and even in the desert, whenever a | man is ground down by injustice or mastered by his own incompetence, he wishes that he wore under th? rule that bos given wealth to Egypt, and our occupation of that country, which did so much at first to alienate from us the sympathies of Mohammedans, has provod tho finest advertisement of English methods of government.
Lord Cromer's name is famous among outlying tribe and tho only other English name thoy know besides his 'is that pf Mr. Chamberlain
Alexandria architecture ha^itS-Mmirew in Syria as tho following conversation shows :— "Oh lady, is it true that in figypt Ole-soldier* get their pay^ week t>y. week and month by month I I replied that J-believed it*to -be fhe case, such beiug the custom "in the ^English Army.
As fi»r us,", wild'Mahmoud 'wpay is yd ways due to us fof^hilf a yfkr, and? often out of .twelve montlm' pay we revive'but six mop'bs. Wallah ] 1 have Sever Jfuched more than eigbWinontbs' pay* fur a complete year.

And there I Aw aSaluaan <|ho sued a lady for his faro, and the judge gavo it to him. By the Truth 1 the^ways of judges are different with us," observed MahmOd thoughtfully^ and then, with an abrupt transition, we exclaimed : "look, oh lady, there is Abu Saad".
It is satisfactory to know that British prestige lias risen since the Boet War. The cliange of feeling being due in Miss Bell's opinion not so much to our victory in S. Africa as to Lord Cromer's brillant administration in Egypt, Lord Currents policy in the Persian Gulf and tho alliance with the conquering Japanese-
