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.

We publish in another column the details of the new scheme of employment in the Public Works Ministry, whereby provision is made for an eventual and considerable increase in the number of Egyptians employed in that department.
It is generally recognized that European assistance, to a certain extent, is necessary to carry on the work of Government in Egypt. Differences of opinion, however, arise when any attempt is made to lay down with any degree of precision the extent to which recourse should be had to European agency. Weighty arguments may be advanced on both sides. On the one hand, says Lord Cromer in his last report, I have had it frequently urged upon me that the efficiency of the service suffers by reasons of the inadequacy of the European staff; that the welfare of the mass of the population must be placed before all other considerations; that the vast majority of voiceless Egyptians prefer good administration to national government; and that, therefore, for the present, and probably for a long time to come, the employment of a large number of Europeans is abolutely necessary. On the other hand, it is stated that the Egyptians prefer a defective system of government administered by their own countrymen to a relatively perfect system administered by aliens; that it is in the highest degree impolitic to push on education and at the same time to close the door of high Government employment to the educated classes; that the Egyptians can never learn to govern themselves unless they are allowed to make the attempt; that any causes which-tend towards maladministration will be temporary and will gradually disappear as a result of the experience which will be gained; and that, therefore, the number of Europeans in the service of the Government should no merely be reduced to the lowest limit should be exceeded, and that even a somewhat high degree of temporary inefficiency should be tolerated in order to attain the desired end.
What is quite clear is, that if western civilization is to be introduced into Eygpt, it can only be done by Europeans, or by Egyptians who have imbiled the spirit of civilization, and have acquired the knowleadge necessary in order to apply western methods of governement. The extent to which Europeans, or Egyptians, who have received an European training, should respectively be employed, depends mainly on the supply which is available of the latter class. The main difficulty of dealing with the question is that, for the present, the demand for qualified Egyptians of this class is greatly in excess of the supply.
The general policy which has been pursued since the British occupation of the country took place, in 1882, has been to limit the number of Europeans in the employment of the Government as much as possible, to employ Egyptians in the very great majority of the subordinate and in a large number of the superior administrative posts, and gradually to prepare the ground for increasing the number of Egyptians in high employment. This policy is throughly understood by all the leading British officials in Egypt. Some, possibly, have been more successful than others in training their Egyptian subordinates. Some, again, may be inclined to insist on a rather excessive standard of efficiency on the part of the Egyptian before they will readily acquiesce in foregoing the appoitment of an European. As Lord Cromer remarks, "I have never found on the part of any higher British officials in this country any tendency to question the wisdom of the policy, or the least reluctance to give effect to it when once they were convinced that a qualified Egyptian could be found to take any post which might happen to be vacant."
The difficulties in the way of giving anything like immediate effect to the substitution on a large scale of Egyptian for European agency in the administrative work of the country are, in fact, very great. This matter is frequently discussed on the assumption that a number of places under Government are now occupied by Europeans for which competent Egyptians could without difficulty be found. This assumption certainly gives a very innocorrect view of the facts of the situation. There is no doubt that there are a few cases as to which it may be said that, if the European occupant of some post vacated his place, a competent Egyptian might at once be found to replace him. But, in the very large majority of cases, the reason why the European holds the post is that the supply of competent Egyptians is not nearly equal to the demand.

During the past 24 hours the following cases of plague have been reported : 2 at Beni-Mazar, 1 case at Assiout ; 2 deaths in hospital and 2 out side at Deirout ; 2 at Abnoub ; 2 deaths in hospital and 2 deaths outside at May-Lamadi ; 1 death at Esneli ; 3 cases, and 2 deaths in hospital, at Akhmim. 67 cases of plague are at present under treatment.
There are still between 80 and 90 visitors staying at this hotel, and several residents of Cairo have lately taken up their quarters here for the summer. The management have arranged tor a British military band to play twice a week, on Wednesday and Sunday, commencing from the 29th May, during and after dinner from 8 to 11 o'clock, on the terrace, where in future dinners will be served.
The "Sudan Times" says, Mr. Hassib Ydliby, General Manager of the Kordofan Trailing Company, who is now in Addis Adeba, is not returning to the Sudan, as he has resigned his post in the Company. The Kordofan Company is his own creation! For several years, he had been carrying on a sucessful commercial business in Kordofan. A few years ago, he proceeded Io London and turned his private enterprise into a company which was named after the province in which he traded. Later he turned his attention to Abyssinia ; and in its rich and unexplored fields his energy and industry were amply rewarded by his discovery of rubber and his success in monopolizing this article. He has succeed in obtaining several concessions from His Majesty, the Emperor Menelik.
The first daily coneert of the summer season at the Windsor hotel by the splendid orchestra which Mr. Ludovie-Rivier has brought to Alexandria took place on Saturday evening, and was most enjoyable. The orchestra is, indeed, one of the best which we have heard in Egypt and the Windsor Hotel are to be congratulated on securing the services of such highly qualified musicians for their season. Saturday's programme was very well selected, each item well rendered, and the players received hearty appreciation of their efforts from the audience. The terrace of the Windsor Hotel has been most comfortably arranged, and it appears that the only difficulty which is likely to present itself to the manager is the provision of space for the large numbers who are sure to attend, but we understand that, should it be neccessary, more ground will be roped in.
The "Gendre de Mr. Poirier," Emile Angier and Jules Sandeau's universally known comedy was performed on Saturday evening, and the committee ought to be satisfied with the recption accorded to their production: It is evident that the association achieves far better results in theatricals, than by providing musical entertainments. Of the comedy; known by almost every theatre-goer in the world, there is nothing to be said, except that its 1840 conventionalism seems more than antiquated. Now-a-days, while its perfect and pure style always gives pleasure. Of the artists, we must single out Mr. P. Levy for special notice, his preformance, as Verdelet, was faultless throughout and some of his colleagues might well follow his example more closely ; before they can be really successful, they must learn a less automatic method of delivery, and the art of appearing natural. The elocution of all who took part in the performance was clear and distinct. The committee deserves every kind of encouragement for its efforts, and we would only suggest shorter entrances.
The band of the King's Own Scottish Borderers will plays the following programme of music (by kind permission of Major C. M. Stephenson and officers) from 9 to 11 p.m. tomorrow in the Esbekieh Gardens:-
London May 13, 1907.
The Earl of Cromer arrived in London yesterday on his return home, after laying down the heavy task of administering with conspicuous success and brilliant results the government of Egypt for twenty-four years. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Counnught, together with a distinguished company, were present on the platform at Victoria Station to receive him when he arrived, by the special train at twenty minutes to four.
It has been said that "Peace hath her victories, not less reknowned than war." There is no parallel in history for the regeneration which Lord Cromer effected in the affairs of Egypt. He raised an entire population from a condition of object misery, which was but little removed from slavery, to one of comfort and security ; he raised a nation from bankruptcy to affluence, purified the administration of Justice, and organised successful wars, which restored the territories of which that nation had been deprived by revolution, and established a reputation as a statesmalike administrator which is unrivalled.
Lord Cromer travelled by special train from Dover. On the platform, outside the barriers within which the privileged spectators had gathered, a small crowd had assembled, and as soon as the train came to a standstill, an erect, white-haired figure with spectacled eyes stepped out on the platform, alert and active, to be greeted by a cheer of welcome. Immediately the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connaught stepped forward, bareheaded, and shook hands warmly with Lord Cromer, and their Royal Highnesses' example was followed by the members of the group which surrounded the central figure. In the midst of the handshakings Lord Cromer's youngest son, a sturdy little lad of four years, dressed in a blue sailor suit, with fair curling locks straying out from beneath his cap, ran forward and grasped his fathers hands, a glad smile of welcome on his beaming face. Lord Cromer stooped and kissed the child, with his hands laid affectionately on his shoulder. Then he turned again to the friends about him and received their greetings.
The Earl of Cromer, who was accompanied by the Countess of Cromer, remained on the platform a few minutes, chatting. He then look leave of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connnaught, and, accompanied by the Lord Chamberlain, entered a pair-horsed closed carriage from the Royal stables and drove to Buckingham Palace, where he had the honour of a long interview with the King. Lord Cromer as he drove away, was cheered by the small crowd which had gathered outside the station. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Duke Connaught were also cheered as they left the station. ("Daily Telegraph.")
LONDON, May 19.
Sir Benjamin Baker, K.C.B. is dead (Reuter)
Sir Benjamin Baker may justly betermed one of the greatest British civil engineers of the time. He was joint engineer with Sir John Fowler of the Forth Bridge and consulting engineer to the Egyptian Government for the Nile Dam. Sir Benjamin was born in 1840 and was made a K.C.M.G. in 1890 and a K.C.B. in 1902. He was also an L.L.D., D.S.C., and F.R.S., and had the Medjidieh of the 1st class. He was a frequent visitor to Egypt and his note on the raising of the Assouan Dam was printed in the recent White Book on that subject. He was the inventor of the pneumatic.
This property of the French Government in the Mohamed Aly Square at Alexandria, which was recently exchanged and now belongs to the Alexandria Municipality, is soon to be transformed. The old site of the French Consulate, locally known as the "French Garden" and the buildings to the north will shortly be made into a square. The tenders for the demolitions of the buildings, and the existing square, were considered to be quite inadequate by the Municipal Delegation, and consequently the work is to be undertaken by the Municipality. The old buildings, which a few years ago used to be brasseries, are built of excellent material, for they were they were constructed after the bombardment of Alexandria from the debris of some of the finest buildings in the city. The entire site is to is to be cleared but we hope that the few trees in the old garden will lie spared. The work will be begun very shortly.
The "Army and Navy Gazette," in announcing Major Gamble's appointment to succeed Col. McCracken in command of the Royal Berkshire Regiment, remarks:-
If we may judge by the accounts of the battalion which reached us from Egypt during its tour of duty there, the new C.O. is heartily to be congratulated on succeeding to his "birthright" at a time when the character of the 2nd' Royal Berkshire stands so very high, for the vety best reports were sent home as to its condition. In one respect the new C.0. is less fortunate, than his predecessor, Col. McCracken was promoted, to his lieutenant-colonelcy at the age of 43 ; Lieut.-Col. Gamble has attained his 47th year. He starts under favourable auspices, however, and he is the possessor of a Stall College certificate.
SABA PACHA'S REPORT
The report of the Postmaster-General to the Minister of Finance on the work of the Administration during 1906 years that considerable progress has been made in every branch of the service.
The total correspondence for 1906 handled by the Post Office was 58,000,000 against 50,770,000 in 1905—an unprecedented increase of 14%. The increase in the number ot registered articles in the inland service is especially remarkable, being 70% over 1905 ; this increase may be set down to the reduction of the registration fee from 10 to 5 millièmes.
18,340,000 letters, 1,185,000 postcards, 1,310,000 registered objects, 12,940,000 newspapers and printed matter, and 2,900,000 free Governmental correspondence (all inland service) passed through the post office. 4,510,000 letters were dispached abroad against 4,685,000 received from abroad, and against the 6,420,000 newspapers and printed matter received from abroad 2,540,000 were dispatched.
In the foreign service Great Britain (including Malta and Gibraltar) claims out of the total correspondence 26.4%, France exchanged 17.1%, Turkey 10%, Italy 9.9%, Germany 7.9%, and Austro-Hungrv 6.9%. Since the introduction of the penny postage the correspondence exchanged between Egypt and the United Kingdom and British colonies has increased by 60%.
Taking the quinquennial periods of the last twenty years, the correspondence handled was in 1886, 12,695,000 ; 1891, 17,l16,000 ; 1896, 24,110,000 ; 1901, 33,720,000; 1906, 58,000,000.
The proportion of undelivered correspondence remains the same, namely 6.6 per 1,000, but this includes a large number of unaddressed envelopes.
L.E. 23,358,000 were transmitted through, the inland post, of which L.E. 3,295,000 were in postal money orders, L.E. 12,950,000 groups, and the remainder Government orders. The corresponding figures in 1905 were L.E. 22.880,000 ; in 1901 L.E. 17,400,000 ; in 1896 L.E. 15,900,000 ; in 1891 L.E. 13,353,000 ; in 1886 L.E. 10,653,000. L.E. 719,400 in money orders were received from abroad, and L.E. 77,500 sent abroad in money orders.
The exchange of "postal orders" with the United Kingdom and its colonies, which service was inaugurated in April 1905, has develveloped remarkably. From April 1 to December 31, 1905, 3,854 postal orders were issued for a sum of L.E. 3,514 and 2,416 to the value of L.E. 1,864 were paid. In 1906, the number of pistol orders issued was 19,520 for a sum of L.E. 11,840, and those paid were 6,300 for a sum of L.E. 2,754. It is also remarked that the issuing of postal orders has not effected the money orders, which, as already shown, were considerably increased.
850,000 parcels passed through the post in 1906, as compared with 751,000 in 1905—an increase of 14 %, and of the former number 478,000 were to or from foreign countries. Germany and Egypt exchanged 117,130 parcels, France l00,480, Great Britain and colonies 74,610, Italy 50,670, and Austro-Hungary 66,140. Judging from the customs dues paid the value of parcels imported was about L.E. 765,000.
During 1906 the postal service was extended to 168 new localities, the number of offices and postal stations being raised to 1,249.
As its last sitting the Council of Ministers approved an interesting note from Sir William Garstin relative to the advancement of native engineers in the Public Works service. This note, drawn up after long consultation between Sir William Garstin, Mr. Webb, and Mr. Perry, states that every possible advantage will be given to native engineers from the Polytechnic School at Cairo, and a period of trial will be fixed for each native engineer, which will be passed in Europe. Each year, two or three engineers of each department of Public Works will be chosen for this by their chiefs. In the service of mechanical-engineers, Europeans will still be appointed.
The irrigation posts attributed to native engineers will be (1) inspectors of irrigation with annual salaries of from L.E. 800 to L.E. 1,200 ; (2) directors of works from L.E. 400 to L.E. 700 ; (3) sub-directors of works from L.E. 240 to L.E. 360 ; (4) chief engineers, engineers, and assistant engineers jn the provinces.
The proportion of the technical staff will be as follows: (l) inspectors of the ten circles of irrigation (the projects circle, will be suppressed on the completion of its work) 6 Europeans and 4 natives: (2)directors of works, 8 Europeans and 6 natives: (3) sub-directors of works, 12 Europeans and 10 natives ; (4) chief engineers drawing from L.E. 360 to L.E. 600 per year, 30, all natives, (5) assistant engineers drawing from L.E. 114 to L.E. 300 per year, 157, all natives.
The Irrigation Service will therefore include 36 Europeans drawing from L.E. 240 to L.E. 1,200, and 207 natives drawing from L.E. 144 to L.E. 1,200.
The native staff will not be complete for two years. From the present Sir William Garstin proposes to send two or three pupils every year to study in Europe. This new system will entail an addition of L.E. 2,620 to the budget of the Irrigation Service.
Similar arrangements have been made in the Towns and Buildings Service which will necessite increased expenses amounting to L.E. 4,594 and an increased budget of L.E. 2,680.
Born in 1851, Mr. Sydney Henton Carver has passed away at the early age of 56, mourned and regretted not only by the British community, but also by people of every nationality in Egypt.
Mr. Carver arrived in Egypt in 1872, and, after spending some years at Mansourah, he became a partner in the firm of Messers. Carver and Co. and removed to Alexandria in 1881.
His kindness of heart, his desire to be of use to his fellow men, and his determination to do what was right soon, made his influence felt, and it may truly be said that there has been no charitable or public movement of any importance in Alexandria during the last twenty-five years in which Mr. Sydney Carver has not taken a leading part.
It would be difficult to enumerate all his public services to the town in which he lived. But we may remind our readers that Mr. Carver was largely instrumental in obtaining relief for Mansourah in 1883, when, in consequence of the severe outbreak of cholera and the cordon round the town, the supplies of medicine and food became exhausted; that it was due to Mr. Carver's initiative that the Rudolph home for the poor was placed on a sound and business-like basis; that Mr. Sydney Carver was the guiding spirit of the Victoria House and Nurses' Home which is now so successful, that, mainly through his influence, an extra wing is being added to the building ; that he was the first vice-president of the Municipality; and, finally, that he was always chosen as one of the British representatives on any International Committee.
But apart from these public services there were others of a more private nature that Mr. Carver rendered to those around him and which endeared him to all who came in contact with him. In times of trouble and of grief Mr. Carver's help was always sought and never refused. He was the first to act, the first to aid; and to many the news of his death will bring back remembrances of some particular occasion when, by his sympathetic nature and sound common sense, he was able to assist of console then at difficult times of their life.
As one of the managing directors of the firm of Messrs. Carver Bros and Co. Ltd., Mr. Sydney Carver held for many years an important position in the business circles of Alexandria.
In 1900, at great personal sacrifice and purely from a strict sense of duty, Mr. Sydney Carver consented to act as one of the three liquidators of the Banque Industrielle. Probably only those who followed the intricate operations which that liquidation involved could appreciate the labour, patience, and business capacity which were required to bring the matter to a successful termination.
Mr. Carver was chairman of the British Chandler of Commerce, and Vice-President of the cotton section of the Produce Association and chairman or member of every committee connected with the exports trade of Egypt, besides being a director of several public companies.
By none will Mr. Sydney Carver's death be more regretted than by the staff of Messrs. Carver Bros. and Co. Ltd., who looked upon him not only as the head of the firm in Egypt, but also as one who had their personal interests at heart.
We beg to tender our sincere sympathy to Mrs. Carver and the family, who are passing the summer at Winsley House, Bradford on Avon, which Mr. Sydney Carver purchased only a few months ago.
No further details as to the cause of death have as yet reached Alexandria.

A correspondent writes :—
In your columns of Friday's date you published, an article, extracted from the Journal of the British Chamber of Commerce, on the fall in values of Egyptian securities, which ends up in somewhat optimistic language. That article was written at the commencement of this month and now after a fortnight has elapsed matters are looking, if anything, worse than ever. What is the cause of this general depression? The writer of the article attributes it to the large number of new flotations that have taken place during the past six months and to the wild speculation that was indulged in on the Bourses of Cairo and Alexandria. That in a measure is correct ; but only in a measure. The real reason is that all confidence has been completely shattered for the time being. Egypt today is more prosperous than it ever was before. If speculators have last money it does not mean that that money has been lost to Egypt ; what Tom loses Harry makes ; large "paper profits" were made and large "paper profits" were lost, but the prosperity of the country has steadily increased ; the cotton crop of last year is turning out the biggest on record and is selling at record prices. The country is full of money, the imports of gold coin into the country reached a phenomenal figure last year, and hardly any of it has since found its way back to Europe. Why then this panicky feeling in the financial atmosphere of Egypt? The answer is simple enough. In reading the article of the Journal of the British Chamber of Commerce one finds the following statement : "The Egyptian Banks did their best to moderate the gambling fever by refusing to increase their advances, on local shares, whilst several of them went further amd confined their advances to the better class of securities entirely eliminating those of a financial or land speculating character." If that were all that the Egyptian banks did, no fault could be found with their action. It would be only a question of common banking prudence ; but they went further. Some of our leading banking magnates put their heads together and said all this speculation must be stopped. A regular and organised campaign was started by them to curtail speculation, and the result has been a complete shattering of all confidence in Egyptian securities. These same banking magnets-now sit gloomily in their offices and metaphorically wring their hands and say "what will be the end of all this?" They have raised the ghost and have no idea how to lay it now that it has served their purpose : and yet the re-establishment of confidence is easy enough. Let these same banking magnates put their heads together once more. Let them make a list of really first class securities, securities which are paying regular dividends and are what we might call the "gilt edge" securities of Egypt, such as National Bank, Agricultural Bank, Credit Foncier, Delta Light Railways, Dairas etc. etc. Let them fix the value of these shares on 4 per cent and 5 percent bases and then form a pool amongst themselves and commence buying these shares, continuing to buy all that are procurable until they rise to the values they have fixed upon. They will not have to buy very many shares before confidence is once more established, and perhaps the argument that will appeal all the more to them is that they will secure substantial profits to their various Links for they can commence buying these first class securities at very low figures indeed. Establish confidence once more and the public will do the rest, for their is no lack of money in the country.
A meeting of the Municipal Delegation was held on Saturday afternoon under the presidence of Yehia Pasha, Schiess Pasha being absent owing to indisposition.
At the opening of the meeting the assembly expressed its deep regret at the death of Mr. Carver, formerly vice-president of the Municipality, and the meeting was suspended for a few minutes.
On the resumption of the meeting the Delegation considered the offer of the Fire Protection Company for the installation of fire alarms at Minet el Bassal, and after heaving read the report of the public works committee on the matter, they decided not to give authorisation to the said company unless it should undertake to lay its connections underground.
A letter from the Windsor Hotel, renouncing the purchase of the street separating the plots of land belonging to the Company on the new quay, was read. A plan of regulations and tariff for boats on the Mahmoudieh Canal was adopted and sent forward to the Commission for approval. A letter from the Ministry accepting their proposals concerning the building of bridges was read. The Government undertakes the enlargement of Ibrahim bridge over the Mahmoudieh Canal and the Municipality is to build two new bridges.

Prince Omar Pasha Toussoun has returned to Alexandria from Cairo.
It is rumoured that Mazloum Pasha will retire next October. The Minister of Finance is entitled to a pension of L.E. 1,500 a year under the law of Said Pasha.
The marriage between Captain A. W. Jennings Bramly and Miss D. Steel has been postponed until August.
Lady Muriel Beckwith has very much improved in health after her recent illness in Cairo. Captain and Lady Muriel Beckwith left London on Saturday week for Goodwood House, Chichester, on a visit to the Duke of Richmond and Gordon.
Mr. F. A. de Rougement, manager of the National Bank at Fort Said is about to take three months' holiday, during which time he will be replaced by Mr. Simpson, manager of the Fayoum branch.

Mr. J. E. Woolacott, who represented the "Daily Mail" at Cairo some years ago, is leaving the staff of the "Economist" to undertake the duties of the City office of the "Tribune." Mr. Woolacott is best known, perhaps, outside the ranks of financial journalism, for he has been responsible for more than one big journalistic coup that has set the world talking. It was he who interviewed Marchand on his way from Fashoda, and who gave to the world the memorable interview with Dreyfus after the Rennes trial. His many friends, journalistic and otherwise, will wish him well in his new endeavours, and will congratulate the "Tribune" on its acquisition.
It is proposed to start a company under the above title with a capital of £90,000 divided in 89,700 ordinary shares of one pound sterling each, and 6,000 deferred shares of one shilling each.
The company will start with the old established Hotels, i. e. Bristol, Nil, Eden Palace, Metropole, New Khedivial, and the Carlton in Bulkeley, (Ramleh). The company will eventually acquire other Hotels in Cairo. Alexandria and other places in Egypt and elsewhere.
The combination is being effected in order to do away with the keen competition that now exists, when much better prices can be secured and larger profits realised. The proprietors of the respective hotels are transferring their property to the company on the bases that their books show a profits of not less than 12%, for the post two years, on the sum to be paid to each, and they agree to accept payment as follows : one third in cash and two thirds in shares.
The annual general meeting of the Aboukir Company was held in London last week, Mr. Gerald A. Sheppard presiding. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said that During the whole period of Aboukir reclamation there had never been such a marked advance in the condition of the land os during the post year. This was due to the new syphon, which, aiding the others, had given continuous drainage to all the land. Whilst the yield of cotton was not equal to the promising appearance of the crop, the price was extremely good at £4 per cantar—the best the company had ever obtained. Purchasers of land and tenants were alike satisfied. The company new held about 10,700 feddans of their original 30,000, and the policy of the directors was to raise a rent-roll from which to pay a steady dividend rather than to diminish by further sales the area now held. During the present year it was proposed to canalise about 4,000 feddans of new land, and they would complete the canalisation of all the Aboukir lauds. The prospects of the country were very satisfactory, and if the great work initiated by Lord Cromer was continued by his successor, with good crops, all would be well. The report was adopted.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents, but we wish in a spirit of fair play to all, to permit-within certain necessary free discussion.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE"
Sir,—Referring to what I have already written under the above heading, and which you have had the courtesy to publish, anent the communications between the streets and the drains ; I have been informed that our Municipality have discontinued availing themselves of the approved " Plesch " siphon for the reason, that they have in view another and better system. I don't know Sir, what this "better'' system may be, but one thing is certain, and that is that such new system is conspicuous by its absence and that in default of the one siphon that has been successfully employed, and during the time the " better " system is being prepared, the sewer-gas is continually escaping at many frequented points into the streets, which could be promptly preverted by the use of the existing " Plesch " siphons. I would add that I am not interested in this system otherwise than as a citizen, who deems it his duty to call public attention to a grave source of disease, and its remedy. I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,

DEVELOPMENT OF TRADE.
MR. HOLDER'S REPORT.
The difficulty of procuring labour creates a demand for labour saving machinery of all kinds.
The amount of Government building which has already been done at Port Sudan is surprising, and I venture to say that the progress which has been made reflects the highest credit on the Sudan Department of Public Works, and especially on its local representative, Captain Kelly, R.E. The work is still being carried on in every direction, and a firm of building contractors of good standing would certainly be able to secure a number of contracts already. Much more will be practicable in this line as soon as the building of the town itself is rendered feasible by a settlement of the land tenure.
With regard to the Government contracts, I may mention one scheme which is already under consideration, that is, the construction of a water reservoir in the hill, and of a conduit to the town, some 25 miles off.
A small cold storage is already being constructed by a private firm, which should he of the greatest advantage, both to the public and to the firm. I think this might well he expanded much more widely. At present the steamers from Suez take about 3 1/4 days to reach Port, Sudan ; they run irregularly, and are not well found. Modern steamers could easily do the journey regularly in 48 hours. If they were fitted with a cold storage room, and if a cold storage wagon were placed on the railway, they could provide Port Sudan, Atbara (including Berber), Khartoum, and possibly also Merowe (Kereima) with fresh provisions, fruit, etc. Such a line of steamers should be able to cut out the old Nile route altogether as a means of communication with Khartoum, for the direct trains already run in 22 hours only from Port Sudan to the capital.
It is true they would at present have one difficulty to encounter, and that is the antiquated system of quarantine still enforced in the Sudan. In the event of a case of plague at Suez, five days' quarantine from the date of leaving that port are imposed but I understand that it is proposed to alter this for surveillance of passengers and disinfection of cargo.
For those who are entirely unacquainted with the region I should perhaps add that public security is as great as in any European country—if not greater. The sanitary condition of the town is good. Justice is administered impartially and capably.
The British Vice-Consul, Mr. Echlin, is perfectly acquainted with the local conditions and able to answer any specific questions that might be addressed to him, though his duties as an official of the Sudan Government are heavy and leave him little leisure for other business.

In addition to the manner in which the history of Egypt under the Ptolemies is being illustrated by means of papyri discovered in the country itself new material is continually being provided by the finding of Greek inscriptives in the islands of the Levant. Many of these have been utilised by Struck in his history of the Ptolemies, and by Leclercq in his "Historie des Lagides," The "Egyptian Gazette" has from time to time mentioned any new text of interest that has been recovered, and we again return to the matter because of an inscription of exceptional historical importance which has been edited by the French explorers of the Island of Delos.
In the earlier part of the reign of Ptolemy Energetes we know for certain from the Adulis inscription, in Abyssinia, that Delos and the other Cyclades appertained to Egypt. But certain statement by historians, or in lapidary text, have indicated that the suzerainity did not long endure ; and that soon after the accession of Antigomes Doson in Macedonia, his dominion was set up in the islands in place of that the Egyptian prince. However up to the present definite evidence for this was not forthcoming. The new inscription however decides the question for it proves the existence at Delos of a monument consecrated by Antigonus Doson in memory of the victory of Sellasia.
Kileomenes whom Dosen defeated was the ally of Ptolemy Energetes and so it is incredible that had Delos still been Egyptian territory, such a monument could have been erected there. The battle of Sellasia was fought far away in Macedonia and so was not of itself sufficient to eliminate the Egyptian suzerainity in the Cyclade. That was probably the immediate result of the naval victory of Antigonus Doson gained over the Ptolemaic fleet at Andros in 228, or 227 B.C. M. Maurice Holleaux, who edits the new inscriptions gives reasons for thinking that some of the islands remained independent when Egyptian sway was withdrawn Syros and Amorgos we know from other text submitted to Antigonus. This however does not so much concern Egyptian history.
FIRST ANAEMIA
THEN INDIGESTION
THEN RHEUMATISM.
What a Hull Lady Suffered.
Bad Blood the Single Cause.
Not an Ache or Pain To-day.
Made Well by.
DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
"What I endured year after year would have wrecked the strongest constitution." The words were uttered by Mrs. Hatch, of 8 Victoria avenue, Hull, during her recital of a long record of agony resulting from weak, impure blond. Yet after these many years of misery Mrs. Hatch recovered sound health, because in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People she found a remedy that actually made Rich Red Blood and drove out of her system all the disorders arising from bad blood.
"In the first place," said Mrs. Hatch, "I was sickly, pale and anaemic. This was when I was approaching the age of twenty, and as time went on I grew so feeble that often I could hardly keep on my feet. When I rose in the morning fits of dizziness made me stagger helplessly ; I could not touch any breakfast, and all through the day my head and back ached as though a heavy weight was bearing me down. With any exertion I had almost to fight for breath, and how I managed to get upstairs I hardly know. My eyes became sunken, my sight blurred, and my cheeks and lips a deathly white.
"All this time I had been taking very little food ; then I could eat nothing without a feeling of deathly sickness coming over me. My stomach became so weak that the lightest diet caused burning, stabbing pains, which shot through me so that I could not stand up straight. During these attacks my heart throbbed as though it would burst. One rainy day I got wet through, and caught a severe cold ; then rheumatic pains flew all over me. If I bent my back a racking, tearing pain shot across it, and my limbs ached so that sleep at night was impossible. Often I fainted away through the acute agony of Rheumatism.
"Doctors were consulted, and I even went into hospital ; but, in spite of all treatment, I could get no real relief. I was more like a skeleton than a woman, with no control over my nerves.
"It was after I had suffered these afflictions for many years that my sister insisted I should try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and nt last I did. I took several boxes of these pills before I obtained any real relief ; then I was encouraged by signs of improvement I continued with, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and fancied a little food, and could digest it without pains of Indigestion. I enjoyed refreshing sleep at night and as I continued the pills all signs of anaemia vanished, the rheumatic pains left me, and my strength was gradually built up. I felt younger and was in sound health. To-day I am free from all pain, with no fears of illness."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have cured countless men and women of Anaemia, Indigestion, Eczema, Rheumatism, Sciatica, St. Vitus' Dance, Neuralgia, Nervous Disorders, Paralysis, and Locomotor Ataxy. Sold at shops (but avoid substitutes, and take care that the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, is on every package).
Sold by all chemists and druggists at P.T. 18 the box and P.T. 70 for six boxes.
An interesting illustrated pamphlet describing many cures will be sent post free on application.
