MONDAY, MAY 27, 1907
The business of a stateman, said Bismarck
& good many years ago, is to see things as they
are. What is the statesman's business is also
the business of every citizen in so far as he
concerns himself with his country's affairs or
with its relations with other countries. We all
want to see things as they are. Yet it is not always
easy. What, for instance, (asks the "Morning
Post"), is at present the idea and the feeling of
the majority of Germans on the subject of this
country and of British policy. If we were to
be guided in our judgment by what we read in
some of the German newspapers we might
imagine that the Germans were all filled with
apprehensions of some dire design supposed to
be cherished in England against the welfare,
the expansion, or even the peace of Germany.
As no Englishman is aware of any such design,
indeed as all of us know that no such, design
exists, there would be a temptation to suppose
the population of Germany is afflicted with some
mental disease or with one of those extraordinary delusions of which a once much read writer wrote a history. But those who have in late years travelled in Germany and mixed with the people in that country have discovered that among the educated class there, the representative character of the newspapers is denied, and it is asserted that the articles unfriendly to England are not the expression of the popular feeling, or, at any rate, are not to be taken too seriously. Between those newspapers which make it their business to preach down England and those cultivated Germans who denounce these newspapers it is hard to get at the facts and see things as they are. The Germans outside of Germany, the travelled Germans, are not anti-British. They generally know something Of England and the English. But they are not always listened to with respect by the Germans at home, at any rate not by all the newspaper writers. It is to be hoped that there will shortly be a change of fashion in Germany, and that the habit of discussing the imagined deep-laid plots of England will die out. Meantime it may help towards the clear view which is so desirable to consider some of the undoubted facts about the German Empire which are apt to be forgotten not only here but there.
Germany has for a whole generation been enjoying steady and increasing prosperity. None of the great States of Europe has so much to show in the way of material progress. Most of the large towns have been within the last twenty-five years so transformed as to seem to have been almost entirely rebuilt. The standard of comfort, and even of luxury, attained is beyond the dreams of the last generation. Manufacture, trade, and commerce have flourished exceedingly. The whole country beats on its face the marks of accumulating wealth. For education of all sorts and for the advancement and diffusion of knowledge, provision is made on an ampler scale than in any other country of Europe. These great advances have followed close upon and seemed to be the consequences of the great struggles which led to the foundation of the new Empire as the form and symbol of national unity. Accordingly the national self-conscionsness 'has been exalted, and Germans today take a legitimate pride in their country, The Army is considered, probably rightly, to be the best organised and the best trained in the world, and the Navy has for a whole generation worked hard to make itself the Army's counterpart. Germany's influence makes itself felt far and wide, not merely in Europe. These are some of the marks of greatness in a nation. The nation that is so well situated in regard to its arrangements for defence, for education, and for trade, and of which the prosperity is so remarkable, can hardly have good reason to be excessively timid or anxious as to the future. Yet there are a number of writers in Germany who seem to spend their time looking abroad for possible troubles, and for several years past they have represented England as the most probable source of danger to Germany. If these writers had all been silent it is quite possible that traders and manufacturers in England and in Germany would have been conscious of a certain rivalry. Mr. Haldane in a spéech the other day, spoke of "the legitimate antagonism of trade competition." But it is by no means clear that this antagonism need have a national or international aspect. Two spinners in Bolton are much keener rivals one of the other than either of them of any German competitor,and yet they can manage to live together in the same town without quarrelling. It would not be easy to find a British trader or manufacturer who would wish this country to pick a quarrel with Germany. Some of them would be glad to be helped against German competition by a protective tariff, but they would not on that account wish the two nations to enter into the extreme competition of a war. Moreover, men of business best realise that the best customers are rich industrious nations, and that Germany and England with or without tariffs on one side or on both are necessarily bound to have very large commercial dealings with one another. Apart from manufacture and trade where the two nations are competitors, but not necessarily unfriendly competitors, what are the interests of the two nations which clash? We have never been able to discover them There is no rational cause for a quarrel between England and Germany, and if a quarrel arises it must be due to some wrong, malice, or misunderstanding. These things it is not always possible to prevent. They ought not to arise, and it is the duty of each nation and of each Government to avoid being the author of any such occasion of dispute, and of course also to be strong enough in case of a gratuitous quarrel thrust upon it to defend itself.

The course.and groundswere prettily decorated, and the smartness and precision with which the various movements were carried out, to the accompaniment of the St. Catherine's College band, reflected great credit upon their instructor, Mr. H. Tookey.
An American Consular report contains the announcement that an agreement has been reached between the carpet manufactorers of Asia Minor which will bring about an increase in the price of Smyrna carpets. A combination has been formed with a number of wool dyers, known as the Amalgamated Oriental Carpet Manufacturers, with a capital of about £300,000. A large warehouse is to be erected in Smyrna, where all the carpets, etc., made by the firms in the combine will be stored and the existing warehouses belonging to these firms will be closed.

An important scheme for the creation of a garden city for Alexandria has been set on foot Messrs. Prazziea, P. Zombos, and Bouzas have sold to Baron Felix de Menasce and Messrs. Alinagia and Carnitz thirty thousand and nienty square pics at Abou Nawatir between Carlton Hotel and the Aboukir line for L.E. 19,500.

The SS. British Prince, with passengers and general cargo, left Malta on the 26th inst. for Alexandria via Tripoli, and is due to arrive at Alexandria on the 31st inst.
The adjourned meeting of the managers of the big local banks and the heads ofthe private banking houses took place at the Alexandria Offices of the National Bank yestérday. It was decided by the majority of the banks to form a syndicate and the capital of the concern will amount to a very respectable figure. Unfortunately all the important banks were not unanimous, as the board of directors of the Crédit Lyonnais refused to give their assent to the manager here to join the syndicate on the part of the great French banking establishment. As some of the managers of the other banks had made their adherence to the syndicate conditional on unanimity, the secession of the Crédit Lyonnais has obliged the managers of the Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris, the Imperial Ottoman Bank, and the Crédit Frageo Egyptien to inform their boards of directors of the fact of this abstention before obtaining consent to forming part of the syndicate. The majority of the banks, however, have agreed and the syndicate: therefore may be regarded as an accomplished fact.
The refusal of the board of directors of the Credit Lyonnais to allow that bank to join has created a somewhat unfortunate impression in view Of the important position that bank has always held in Egypt. In view also of the fact that it has occupied an official position here as the custodian of the monies of the Caisse de la Dette and has gained considerable influence from such a position, it is considered that the board of directors should have shown their confidence in the stability of Egypt's financial position at the present time by at once giving the necessary permission to their manager to materially assist in ameliorating the severe crisis, through which the Bourses of Alexandria and Cairo are now passing, by coming into line with the other important banking institutions in the country.
Nothing definite has yet been decided as to the procedure which the syndicate will adopt. We understand that there will be no hard and fast rules in regards to limits, etc. It is suggested that the committee of management. should meet, say, once a week and decide as to the course to pursue in view of the possible fluctuating character of the market from week to week. However,nothing has yet detinitely been decided on these points. At any rate it is a matter for congratulation that the syndicate is an accomplished fact and the constitation of such a body should be of material assistance in stopping any farther increase in the "rot" in the local bourses, which might otherwise have become highly contagious. Capitalists and small investors will now know that the minimum prices are guaranteed and this should induce buyers to come into the market.
From the "Daily Telegraph" of Saturday, the 18th inst.
Circumstantial rumours have been current luring the last few days concerning the disapperance of one of the partners of the well known firm of City solicitors. There seems little doubt that the rumours are well founded, and that the Stock Exchange, if not any private clients of the firm, will suffer substantially. As usual, a good deal of loose talk Is heard concerning the sums involved, but there is reason to believe that they have been unduly inagnified, and that they will prove to be below £100,000. It commonly reported that Lord Cromer had been seriously hit in connection with the matter, but we have the best authority for stating that thére is no truth whatever in the reports, so far as his lordship is concerned, and that the late British Agent in Egypt has not and could not have lost anything at all, as his securities are in the safe keeping of Messrs, Barings. It may also be as well to state that the firm in question although they used to act for the family, are not the solicitors of Messrs, Baring Bros.
The College des Freres in Cairo, situated opposite the new Roman Catholic Cathedral now under erection in the Ismailieh quarter, has just been disposed of to Mr.Moise Levi, of the firm of Zoucas and Levi. The property is a little over 2,100 square métres and the price paid is about £30 the metre. The Freres reveived in part payment the house and grounds belonging until lately to Moustapha Pasha Fehmy, the Prime Minister, the latter property having an area of 6,000 square metres and being situated in Sharia Mansour; it passed into the possession recently of Mr. Levi. The house will be considerably enlarged for the accommodation of the large number of pupils, betwee 300 and 400, now attending the schools and these will be transferred from Ismailieh to the Bab-el-Louk quarter in September. A position of the ground on which stands the present College was purchased 19 years ago at 33 franes the metre, and for the land adjacent, on which an extension was built about 4 years back, between £6 and £7 the metre was paid. The next building on which the English Nursing Home was formerly located, consisting of a large house and 1,000 metres, was offered to the Fréres in 1907 at £7 the metre and was bought by Mr. Moise Levi at that price; the latter now asks £20,000 for the property, from which figures it is natural to assume that houses and sites in the Ismailieh quarter of the capital are not declining in value as some persons declare
("Daily Telegraph" May 21, 1907.]
Cairo, May. 13.
Before I left Cairo 1 had the honour of being requested. by his Highness the Khedive to have an interview with him previous to my departure. I have been in friendly relations not only with Abbas II, but with his father, Tewfik Pasha; and the uniform courtesy and friendliness which I have experienced at the hands of three generations of the Khedivial family would alone have sufficed to make the invitation welcome to me personally. I felt, also, it would be interesting to the British public to learn the point ot view from which his Highness regarded the present situation in Egypt.
All those who heard Abbas II. make a speech at the Guildhall banquet given in his honour on his last visit to London are aware that he speaks English with remarkable facility and accuracy, but I fancy his thoughts run more rapidly in French, and that when he is talking with anyone who can understand French he prefers speaking in that language in preference to English. In common with almost all Orientals after thirty, he is beginning to expand in size, and this fact tends to increase his remarkable likeness to his grandfather Ismail. Another resemblance between Ismail and his grandson is to be found in the moderation of his comments with regard to everybody, even to persons who might, from his own point of view, have given. him cause of offence. In the years of his exile, when Ismail was eating his heart out from his longing to return to Egypt, it was only on very rare occasions, as I can vouch, that he spoke with bitterness of those who had contributed to his downfall. In lke fashion, Abbas II., as I noticed, though speaking with great apparent frankness, never made a single personal allusion to any cause of offence he might have sustained, or thought he had sustained, during the régime now ended which might not have been repeated at the British Agency without giving reasonable umbrage of any kind.
His Highness expressed his appreciation of the services Lord Cromer had rendered to Egypt by restoring her financial solvency, by encouraging works of irrigation, and thereby promoting the material development of the country, He thought, however, that thé material prosperity of Egypt was due quite as much to the exceptional prices of the cotton crop during the last few years as to administrative causes.
As to the military occupation of Egypt, his Highness seemed to me to take a common sense view. Without expressing any personal opinion, as to whether he would have preferred another solution of the Egyptian question, he admitted that the logic of facts had brought about the occupation. Egypt was too wealthy and at the same time too weak a country not to fall under the protection of some great European Power; so that, in the event of the withdrawal of the British troops, some other Power would necessarily také the place of England, while no other Power conld do as much as England had done to promote the material prosperity of his country. He believed that this was in the main the view of his subjects, and that, though they might desire a larger degree of independence at home, they were convinced that, if they were to remain under a protectorate, they saw no advantage, but the contrary, in any change of the Power by whom the protectorate had to be exercised.
If I interpreted rightly his somewhat guarded expressions, I should judge that his Highness does not regard any serious change in the existing relations between the protecting and the protected Power as a probable contingency. England, as he intimated, had had several occasions under her military oecupation during which she might have converted her temporary occupation. into an avowed Protectorate with the consent of the other European Powers. He admitted that England had acted in good faith when on each of these occasions she repeated her declarations that she had no intention of remaining permanently in Egypt; but he'could not fail to seé that each of these refusals on her part to avail herself of the opportunities afforded her had rendered it more and more difficult for her to upset the existing system—under which Egypt was administered by the Khedivial Government, acting under the tutelage of English advisers, without incurring the opposition of Continental Powers. Nor could he perceive what advantage England, even if she were so minded, could hope to obtain by modifying a system under which shé is practically supreme in Egypt, without incurring any direct responsibility. His Highness gave me also to understand that he had never given, any excuse for saying that he had intrigued or conspired against the British occupation, or against the authority Of England in Egypt.
In connection with this assertion he remarked that ever since his accession to the Viceregal throne he had always received the utmost kindness and courtesy from the Sultan of Turkey, and that he entertained for Abdul Hamid the respect due to him, as the spiritual head of Islam, a faith to which he himself was deeply attached, He "delared that he had never given countenance to any ideas that may have been entertained at Constantinople for re-asserting Turkish supremacy in the Sinai Peninsula. Whatever his position as Khedive might be, he had one claim which nobody could contest, and that was his being the lineal descendant of Mahomet Ali, the founder of the reigning dynasty. It was,
therefore, impossible to imagine that he, of all men in the world, would dream of undoing the work of his illustrious ancestor, and thereby replacing Egypt uuder Turkish rule.
His Highness expressed in the strongest terms his sense of the courtesy he had uniformly received at the hands of his Majesty King Edward VII, whom he had always regarded with sentiments of respect and affection, If he were in a position to do so, he should never fail to pay a visit every summer to England, not only as a token of personal friendship, but as a proof of the value he attached to the close connection between Egypt and England under the virtual though unavowed Protectorate exercised by the latter over the former.
With regard to the recent crisis Abbas II said little or nothing. There was not a word uttered by him in disparagement of Lord Cromer or his policy. He paid a very graceful complimentary reference to his lordship's integrity and ability, alluded to the regret felt at the illness which had terminated so suddenly, and so unexpectedly, his long career as the representative of Great Britain. He also expressed his personal satisfaction at. his lordship having recommended Sir Eldon Gorst as his successor, and remarked that when the new Conusul-General was financial adviser to the viceregal Government, his relations with the Khedive had always been of a very friendly and pleasant kind.
He then proceeded to explain to me, without entering on particulars, the general principle upon which, in his judgment, the relations between the defacto and the de jure Governments of Egypt should be based by rights. That principle was one of cordial co-operation. He felt assured that the British Consul-General, whoever he might be, would have at heart equally with himself the welfare of Egypt. In his country, as in every other Eastern land, the people could only appreciate a personal sovereign. As the Khedive himself he represented the element of personal sovereignty, in a way no foreign Consul-General could ever do; and he believed the wheels of the administrative machine would move far more smoothly if the native and the foreign administrations worked in harmony together, not separately and singly. All I can Say is that his Highness assured me that, if his advice were asked upon matters connected with native usages, laws, interests, and even principles, this advice would be based on the paramount necessity of maintaining the principles of justice which have been established under British rule. To do justice without fear or favour was, to his thinking the first and chief duty of every ruler. His complaint against the attacks made upon him of late by certain English papers was that they brought specific charges against him, and that when he contradicted these charges in the most positive and solemn manner, no attempt was made to substantiate the charges by any evidence, and no apology was offered. This, he said, was not justice, and he thought British good sense would recognise that this was not in accordance with fairplay or justice.
Mr. John Rebertson's question regarding the observation of the Moslem day of rest appears to be rather wide of the mark, perhaps not so much in respect to the Postal Administration but in connection with the observation of days of rest in, the Egyptian Government service,
There are upwards of forty different holidays in the official calendar, either European or Native and each one of these is strictly observed. If to this is added the Friday observance, the result .is at least 90 days out of 365, without taking into consideration the fact that in most of the Ministries the staff work only in the mornings. It might be further remarked that on the Sabbath day as known to Christians very many of the Ministerial staff are conspicuous by their absence, in some cases following the example of their European chiefs.
It must not be supposed for a moment that there is the slightest intention of making any comparison or other invidious distinction between Moslem and Christian days of rest. To readers well acquainted with the country and its habits it should be perfectly evident that the member for the Tyneside division of Newcastle has demonstrated in a most. conspicuous manner his extremely superficial knowledge of the country in which he shows such a fatherly interest, based on a visit of a very short duration.

The second day of the third summer meeting of the Alexandria Sporting Club was almost as badly attended as the opening day, and, moreover, the racing itself was not sufficiently interesting to counteract the dulness attendant on an empty stand and paddock. The following were the day's results :

A certain Aboudra, having ingratiated himself with an elderly native lady of excellent connections, played upon her feelings to such an extent as to obtain a very complete hold on her affections and incidentally, her fianances, or at least a large part of them.
The lady in question, waghida hanem, is very well of and our Don Juan induced her to believe that her relatives sought to end her days by poison in order to enter into their heritage more speedily. To add to the humbug he surrounded his victim with a battery of charms guaranteed to secure immunity from all dangers and finally induced her to leave her home and seek obscurity in the provinces.
Some three months ago, therefore the deluded lady left for Zagazig taking with her jewels and money to the value of some £20,000. At Zagazig the happy pair were united, whereupon the relatives of the bride, justly under the impression that the bridegroom was more in love with the fortune of his wife than her person, demanded the revocation of the marriage by the Sharieh Mekhemeh and insisted that the lady be placed under restraint. these demands being accorded, and a family committee having been appointed under the presidence of the Governer of Cairo for the consideration of the questions at issue, the now divorcee was consigned to the care of her brother but refused to rejoin her family, taking refuge with her lawyer; from thence she has disappeared, and no trace of her whereabouts being forthcoming, the family have given information to the police.
In spite of a most careful search and the wide publicity given to the matter by the native press the misguided lady has completley disappeared and sufficiently serious allegations are being made in this connection It has transpired that this is not Aboudra's first exploit of this nature and subsequent developments should prove interesting.

Situated within twenty hour's steaming distance of Port Said Cyprus seems, it as were, an offshoot from Egypt upon whose prosperity she is largely dependent. History records that Cyprus was more than once conquered and governed by Egyptian kings, and that in the dim ages of the past the value of her trade and agriculture surpassed that of most other countries of the East.
It needs but a slight acquaintance with her chequered career to find a sufficiént explanation of her decadence. The very fact of her wealth of soil and lavish productiveness made her an object of envy to her more powerful neighbours and through long centuries she was the battle ground of her armed and rapacious suitors, During the 300 years of Turkish rule, which immediately preceded the British occupation, a period of great commercial progress elsewhere, she not only failed to advance along with other countries but fell back into a condition of stagnation and inactivity which effectively withdrew her from the markets of the world, and brought her into that state of poverty and industrial incapacity in which she was sunk at the time she came under British administration in 1878. But the effect of 30 years of wise and just government is now beginning to tell. The work of recovery has been, perhaps, slow, and one may have been disposed to feel impatient at the niggardly results, but the improvement has been sure, and laid on deep and, therefore, it may be hoped, lasting foundations, A new generation is springing up which, profiting by the modern facilities for travel, is gaining knowledge by personal contact with the outer world, and the minds of the better class Cypriots of to-day are thereby enlarged and better able to appreciate the need for progress than were those of their forefathers.
It should be remembered that our occupation of Cyprus has, for the greater part of the time, been contemporaneous with the British occupation of Egypt, and therein lies at once the explanation of the period of stagnation and of the present signs of recuperation in the island. During many years following the bombardment of Alexandria and the footing in Egypt we then obtained, little Cyprus suffered much loss of prestige. The raison d'étre of Lord Beaconsfield's coup was that the situation of Cyprus gave her exceptional strategic value in the event of complications in south-eastern Europe. But no sooner had exploiters and adventurers had come and gone than the stirring events in Egypt attracted British minds away from her and the little island was practically lost sight of. She had been suddenly dragged from her obscurity into the searchitig light ot the political stage, and scarcely had she begun to accommodate herself to her new role than she was relegated back to the cold seclusion of her island position. The fair hopes and promises made to and for her were, perforce, forgotten or eclipsed by the imperious demands which her continental neighbour was making, and ever since has made, upon the attention of the British Government and public.
So Cyprus felt neglected; she also began to realize that with this new turn of events she was not so strategically important after all, and so she rubbed along for several years much on the old lines, But Egypt is, nevertheless, proving herself a friend. True, she displaced this little Island in the minds of men and drew to herself the capital and official favours which might otherwise have gone to Cyprus, but what is the result? Thanks to the capable administration of Egypt and the abounding prosperity which now exists in that country, Cyprus finds an inexhaustible market for her produce established at her very door. No longer need she think only of distant Palermo, of Maiseilles, of Trieste, of far-off London, but here, close at hand, is a constant demand at good prices for nearly all she can produce.
And what are her chief products that Egypt is ready to take? She produces wheat, barley, oats, vetches, and, naturally, straw — the familiar "tibn" of Egypt, She produces, and can produce in much larger quantities, a number of seéds which find a ready sale in Egypt such as aniseed, coriander, linseed, black seed and such like.
Fruit and vegetables form a special feature of her exports to Egypt, there being always a ready market for these perishable goods at, remunerative prices. Cyprus has long been famed for her pomegranates. It is commonly believed that the breakfast table of H.H. the Khedive is daily furnished during the greater part of the year with Famagusta pomegranates. Then in their season Cyprus produces grapes, figs, oranges, lemons, apricots, peaches, pears, apples, plums, watermelons, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, and raisins, many of which find their way to Port said for consumption in Egypt.
Cheese made from sheep and goats' milk form no unimportant part in the agricultural exports of the Island. The returns of these animals are for the year ending 31st March 1907, Sheep 253,138, Goats 250,546; for the year ending 31st March 1907, Sheep 258,960, Goats 239,540. The tendency is for the number of sheep to increase and that of thé goats to decrease. Excellent Cascaval and Haloumi cheeses are made by the natives. They are both scalded cheeses and are of good flavour. The former is principally made at Larnaca and nearly the whole production is exported to Egypt. It much resembles the Italian Cacio Cavallo.
The native cow (practically the only breed in the island) is not a heavy milker nor is she popular among the nativés for milking purposes, The number of milk cows, however, is gradually increasing and an impetus has been given of late to the breeding of these animals by the amnual show held in Nicosia and yet more by the introduction of new forage plants. The cultivation of Lucerne and Indian Corn is becoming more extended and new drought resisting forage plants are annually being introduced. The possibility of providing green food and hay or ensilage to cattle will undoubtedly give just the required stimulus to the stock raising industry. Dairy herds may in time become more frequent, and with the advent of ice factories Cyprus might become as much a dairy country as many of the dry districts of Australia.
Poultry breeding and eggraising is a branch of farming which, might easily become of value. Cyprus is admirably suited for poultry farming. Chickens could easily be hatched out all the year round, for when the hot Weather is too severe in the plains, the work could be continued in the higher regions. At present the export of eggs to Egypt is quite insignificant. For the development of this industry two conditions are imperative; the introduction of new and good class poultry; and organization. The native chicken is small and scraggy. The villagers' notions of poultry keeping seem condensed into the one leading idea that thé birds must be left to look after themselves, and nowhere, except perhaps at Kythraea, can any system of rearing be said to exist. New strains are badly needed. If these were imported and the best male birds kept for stock and the eggs distribated among careful poultry farmers under certain conditions, an improvement would soon manifest itself. No profitable industry, however, could be built up unless the poultry raisers could be brought to organize themselves. This subject cannot be entered into here, but there are ample indications that the Cypriot peasant could soon be brought to see the advantages of that form of co-operation which has been productive of such striking benefits to this industry in other countries.
A large area of land is under vine cultivation. The grapes, of which there are some 17 known varieties, form; with caroubs, the staple product of the Limassol district. They are grown to a considerable extent also in other parts of the island, Of these different varieties three only are employed in wine-making, the remaining kinds being sold either fresh or converted into raisins It is due mainly to the imperfect grading and packing that the export of table grapes to Egypt has not developed. The total export of fresh grapes for the 12 months ended 31st December 1907 was only cwt. 9,563; valued at £1,487. On the other hand an increasing trade is being done in raisins, the exports for the same period being cwt, 56,692, valued at £26,066. Nearly the whole of the grapes go to Egypt, but only a very small proportion of the raisins find a market there.
A considerable extension of the vine cultivation may be expected in the near future, as new kinds of good quality grapes are being raised in the Government gardens, and larger quantities of sulphur are being used by the vine owners as a precaution against or remedy for mildew, and more modern. methods of vine cultivation are being baught.
The foregoing brief remarks refer with the exception of vine cultivation to "petite culture" as now practised in Cyprus, and it should be mentioned that in the neighbourhoods of Famagusta (Varoshia), Larnaca and Limassol, the three ports of the island, large areas of land are devoted to market gardening. Those places being immune from frosts by reason of their proximity to the sea are, particularly well adapted to fruit and vegetable culture, and there's no reason why a very much larger area should not be put to the same purpose. Cyprus seems specially fitted to be the market garden of Egypt. Cypriot peasants are diligent labourers when working for themselves, and as they are mostly small proprietors this form of work suits them admirably.
Other products and manufactures of the island will be referred to later in this article and the possibilities for developement of the trade between the two countries will be further considered.
FIRST DAY'S RACING.
(Owing to the misplacement in the forme of our account of the first day's racing of the third summer mecting of the A.S.C. we reproduce the same today placed in correct order ).
Though the attendance at the first day of the third summer meeting of the Alexandria Sporting Club, which was held on Thursday afternoon, was very meagre, the afternoon was one of the most enjoyable which we, have spent on the Ibrahimieh course. The weather was all that could be desired, the running was good, interest was sustained in each race up to the finish, and the betting was lively. The band of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, under the baton of Mr. Fawcett, gave an exceptionally well-chosen selection of music, each item of which was very well rendered. We must also congratulate Mr. Wilkinson on the smart manner in which the Pari Mutuel was conducted. In our account of the last meeting we diew attention to the length of time the backers had to wait before the figures of the Pari Mutuel appeared on the board, but on this occasion the period of waiting was reduced, to a minimum and the im-provement was noted on all hands. Winners found that payment was made smartly and everyone was satisfied.
The most exciting race of the afternoon was the Ottoman Handicap, which resulted in a dead heat between Valentino and Jourham, with Gouvernant second, and Aida third. The run-off between the firsts was almost as exciting, both horses rnnning néck and neck all the way round the course. To those who were not opposite the winning post it looked like a second dead beat, but the judges gave the verdict to Jourhim. Valentino was the favourite and to place backers only paid P.T. 26, whereas Jonrham paid for his win at the second effort P.T. 627. The Encouragement Stakes was also an exciting race. Red Cedar was a hot favourite, and Aurelius was also well backed. For the greater part of the course Red Cedar looked liked a winner, but in the last strétch was overhauled by Aurelius and only came in a good second.
Lightweightt Handicap of P.T. 5,000, viz: P.T. 4,000 to winner and P.T. 1000 to 2nd horse. For Arab Galloways. Top weight not to exceed 11 stone. Distance 1(½) miles.

A good start was led by Pan, closely followed by Suleik, and next came in order Nawak, Memnon, and Frou Frou. Turning the first corner Tokar came up with the leaders, and Abou Gebel came along with Nadim slightly in front of him. Round the final bend Abou Gebel was leading, with tokar on his heels and Nadim close behind and within a few yards of the winning post these three horses were running almost level, Abou Gebel leading slightly. Whiteside, however, pulled Tokar in front and won in splendid style by a short length, Abou Gebel being second, and Nadim a good third.

n'hésitent pas à se purger, quand elles en ont besoin. 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.
