THE GREATEST care should be taken in what we eat and drink, yet we are too often indifferent and careless, notwithstanding health depends on what we eat and drink.
In regard to drink nothing but the best should be taken. It costs no more than the indifferent quality, if people would only ask for what they know is the best Old Scotch Whisky is the most wholesome beverage yet known Mackie's Scotch Whisky gives an undoubted guarantee to those who are not judges of quality.
CITY ANALYSTS LABORATORY,
138 BATH STREET,
GLASC0W, 8th October, 1907.
I hereby certify that I have taken samples of every vatting of Mackie's White Horse Celler Blend of Scotch Whisky used
in bottling during the month of September, and the results of my analyses
indicate that it conforms to the standard for Pot Still Scotch Whisky set up
in the London case. I am also of opinion that it is an old Whisky of
excellent quality and flavour, which has been well matured in wood.

One of the greatest social works which is now being carried on in Cairo, and one which, up to the present, has by no means received its due prominence, is that of the Boulac and Taloum dispensaries, whose primary object. is to teach mothers the importance of careful feeding and cleanliness in the care of their infants. We can safely assert that all our readers have observed the negligence, due in the main to ignorance, with which native mothers tend their infants, but, thanks to the initiative cf Lady Cromer, who has done so much to improve the position of the poor native woman and her children, a small com tnittee of ladies has been formed in the Capital to assist, the poverty-stricken mother and her offspring. The work of these ladies is conducted through the medium of two dispensaries, in the Bonlac and Taloun districts of Cairo, and, having received a note on these two charitable institutions, we not only, desire to emphasise the good work which is being done in them, but to urge our readers of every creed to assist that work to his or her utmost.

By supporting such work one is not merely succouring the poor and needy but also raising the nation's level by teaching the mothers of Egypt to so bring up their children that they may become a physically and mentally strong generation. These dispensaries, whose value can only be increased by public interest and support, will, in the long run, and in the event of the necessary support being accorded them, contribute largely to the reduction of the terrible rate of infant mortality now prevailing in this country, and surely we can appeal for no worthier object.
We read in the note to which we refer "The staff, which consists of an English nursing sister, a native hakima and two native nurses, are all competent women who have been trained in the best hospitals. They clearly understand that their mission is to encourage the mothers to come as often as possible to the dispensary, and to remain there each morning while such children are treated. The mothers are encouraged to bathe their children themselves at the dispensary (when the state of health of the child allows of this), also to wash their children's clothes there, if there be any difficulty about doing so at home. The mothers of children who attend frequently, and who do not after the first few visits, bring their children clean are warned that further treatment from the dispensary is conditional on improvement in this respect. All mothers are repeatedly told that both the skin diseases and the eye diseases of their children are due to dirt,
As a result of the work of 16 months, great improvement is to be seen among the children attending the Boulac dispensary, It is now comparatively rare for a child to make even his first appearance in a filthy condition, The mothers rarely object to washing their children themselves. All the mothers are cross examined as to the feeding of their children; they are then instructed in the value of cow or buffalo milk as a food for children of more than six months of age ; and, as a practical lesson, milk is provided daily at the dispensary for all destitute children of suitable age. Mothers who can afford it are enconraged to buy milk at home. An advance is already noticeable in the promptitude with which ignorant, but well meaning, women profit by this instruction, At a given hour, daily, a doctor attends at each dispensary to give advice to all sick children. Medicines are provided gratuitously, as well as all nécessary surgical dressings, The greatest attention is given to explaining to mothers how and when medicines are to be taken ; and the patients are encouraged to present themselves daily, so that it may be seen if the directions are being followed. In the case of dangerously sick destitute children, a recommendation for Kasr-el-Aini hospital is pressed on the mother, and, if necessary, a nurse accompanies the mother and patient to the hospital.
The average attendance daily at the dispensary in the Taloun quarter, which has been started since January Ist, 1907 only, is at present 140, Of these an average of 20 daily are new patients, suffering from all sorts of diseases, principally due to dirt and deficient feeding and to exposure, During the summer months this number will probably be doubled, Patients came to this dispensary from Darb el Ahmar, the Gamalieh, old Cairo, and Saida Zenab.
In the Boulac dispensary which was opened in February 1907, the numbers during the winter months are somewhat lower; of new cases about 10 daily, of old cases 50: during the summer months the numbers equal those at the Tolun dispensary. Patients come to the Boulac dispensary from Embabeh, Gizeh, Shoubra, Maaroof as well as from Boulac itself. At this dispensary there were nearly 20,000 attendances during the first twelve months, and 4501 patients were treated. In conclusion it must. be observed that all the medical work is done. absolutely gratuitously. During the first year an English woman doctor visited the one dispensary open ; subsequently a Russian woman doctor undertook to aasist her as the number of patients was so much larger. On opening a second dispensary five native gentlemen most generously agreed to attend, in rotation daily,"

The Council of Ministers will meet on Thursday next at Ras el-Tin Palace under the presidency of the Khedive.
On Sunday afternoon a native workman, named Sama, fell from a seaffolding in the Esbekieh, receiving severe injuries to the head from whieh he died shortly after being removed to hospital.
The following cases of plague were reported during the past 24 hours :—1 case at Samallout and 2 declared cured ; 5 cases discharged at Beni-Mazar and I new case at Nag-Hamadi. There remain 55 cases still under treatment.
The Asia Minor Steataship Company have just made an addition to their fleet by purchasing the S.S. City of Amsterdam lately running. between London and Oporto. This steamer has accommodation for about 20 first class passengers, and for the present will be put on the Syrian Coast run.
To the west of Alexandria there are no bankinig establishments until Tunis is reached. To remedy this want of banks in Tripoli the Banco di Roma has established a branch at Tripoli of Barbary and will shortly open agencies at Derna, Benghasi and Homas.
The Government has decided to rebuild Matarieh where 2,013 houses out of a total of a total 2,300 were recently destroyed by fire. The new town will contain 340 groups of honses each from 840 to 2,500 square metres in area. The total amount of subseriptions for the the conflagration amounts up-to-date to L.E. 18,985.277.
One of the notable facts brought out by the census is the movement of population away from the Mousky and old Cairo. The Mousky is becoming less a residential and more a business quarter while the population of the densely inhabited network of alleys in old, Cairo aré gradually, moving towards the newer quarters of the capital.
The Alexandria Central Buildings have sold to Monheb Pasha, Governor of the Suez Canal, a big block of old houses opposite the Alexaudria Bourse for £120,000. The existing buildings are to be pulled down and a magnificent building for offices and shops erected in its place, All the present tenants have received notice to quit.
Some amusement is being caused in official circles by the constantly recurring report that the telegraph line from Cairo to Alexandria is being doubted, whereas there are already several telegraphic lines. The fact of the case is that new trunk telephone lines are being laid. The trunk telephone lines are the property of the Telegraph Administration and some of them are leased to the Telephone Company of Egypt Ltd. We understand that the new telegraph line to Mersa Matrouh will be completed in a few days time. This line will be gradually prolonged until it ultimately reaches the frontier.
TEHERAN, May 27.
Owing to complaints of plandering made against the Governor of Luristans levies the Minister of'the Interior has informed Parliament that troops are being despatched to restore order. Parliament has on its part sent a deputation to the Shah and the Premier urging that prompt action should be taken, in view of the report that Rahim Khan's irregulars have been plundering the villages and have killed 250 persons. An enquiry was promised, but Parliament was dissatisfied with the reply and expressed the opinion that the Shah was conniving at and instigating disorders. A popular demonstration against the Shah followed. The bazaars have been closed. The Persian and British authorities are taking joint measures to suppress the traffic of arms by sea and to Afghanistan and Beluchistan. (Reuter)

CAIRO & ALEXANDRIA.
When for the first time in 1900 some 17 girl-candidates presented themselves for the Primary Education Certificate Examination, and five (of whom four were Egyptians) obtained the Primary Education Certificate, it was generally regarded as marking the beginning of a new era in the development of female education in Egypt. Since that time no fewer than 112 girls have presented themselves for the Primary Certifieate Examination, and 43 (of whom 38 were Egyptians) have obtained the Primary Education.
During the past week another record has been created by the success of an Egyptian Mohammedan girl at the Secondary Education Certificate Examination, this being the first time in the history of the Examination that any girl-candidate has obtained the Secondary Certificate. It is thus, apparent that, although proceeding with commendable quietness and in befitting seclusion, female education is developing in Egypt with remarkable rapidity. Not only is this evidenced by the growing attendance of girls in the kuttabs and schools for girls which are under the direction of the Ministry of Education, and by the results at various examinations for Certificates and Diplomas, but also by the willingness of parents to allow their daughters to be trained and undertake service as teachers.
In accordance with immemorial custom, such girls as go to the kuttabs throughout Egypt are taught together with the boys in mixed classes, In 1907 the Ministry of Education made a new departure by establishing three kuttabs for girls only. It has now under its direction seven kuttabs set apart exelusively for girls and staffed by Egyptian female teachers, and also a Normal School at Boulac for training Egyptian girls as teachers for kuttabs. Eight Moslem girls have qualified by examination as head-teachers in kuttabs, whilst 12 have qualified as assistant-teachers, 40 girls are now under trainining as teachers in the Boulac Normal Sehool for Women Teachers in kuttabs.
In the two Higher Primary Schools for girls (Sanieh Schools and Abbas School) under the Ministry of Education, there are now 341 girls in attendance, in addition to 14 students in the Training College attacheil to the Sanieh Girls' School. No fewer than 20 girls (of whom 16 are Egyptians) have during the past five years obtained the Diploma of the Sanieh Training College for female teachers in Higher Primary Schools, and one Egyptian girl has undergone a course of professional training in Stockwell Training College in England and obtained the diploma of the English Board of Education.
It would be wrong to assume that the aims of the Education Department as regards female education in Egypt are represented by the number of girls who pass its public and professional examinations. This aspect of the development that is going on is necessarily somewhat prominent owing to the fact that it is one of the Department's most pressing and important duties to create a supply of qualified Egyptian women teachers. The practical and domestic side of female education is, however, by no means being neglected. For example, in the Boulac Norinal School for Women Teachers in Kuttabs, not only are the girl-students taught sewing and home-dressmaking, but also cooking, laundry work, cottage-gardening, the simple laws of health and other subjects of domestic utility. In the new kuttab for girls which is about to be built at Damietta, partly by private initiative and partly by Government, aid, it is hoped to make provision by' which these domestic subjects may in turn be taught to the 250 girls in attendance in that kuttab by Egyptian female teachers who have been trained in the Boulac Normal School.
The main difficulty which-the Ministry of Edueation has to encounter in connecion with the establishment of kuttabs for girls, respecting which frequent applications are received, is to secure in the district in whieh it is desired to establish the kuttab Egyptian female teachers whose parents or guardians reside in the locality. There are unsurmountable objections to removing young Egyptian femaleteachers from the protection of their parentsor guardians in Cairo in order to fill posts in distant parts of the country. The Ministry of Education is endeavouring to overcome this difficulty by inducing parents resident in the locality in which it is proposed to establish a girls' kuttab, to send their daughters as boarders to the Boulae Normal School in order that-after being trained they may return and take up work as teachers in the respective localities to which they belong.
It is perhap too early as yet to see the influence of these developments on Egyptian social life. It is, however, certain that Egyptian youths, in seeking a bride, are becoming not ummindful of the domestic and social advantges of securing as their wives and as the mothers of their children girls whose intellectual interests and outlook extend beyond the trivialities of the harem. Of this there is evidence in the applications received from time to time by the Ministry of Education from Egyptians to be put into communication with the parents of educated girls with a view to marriage. Any doubt as to this attitude of educated young Egypt to-day must have been dissipated by the outburst of cheering with which the crowd of candidates who had assembled last Thuraday at the Exainination Halls of the Ministry of Education to hear the announcement of the results of the Secondary Certificate Examination, greeted the news that for the first time in the history of the Egyptian baccalaureat the certificate had been obtained by a girl candidate—an Egyptian Moslem.
According to information received, from the War Ministry, it appears that a detachment of the Camel Corps, consisting of 25 men, under the command of Mulazim Awal Ali el Hassan, has been missing for more than a month detachment set out from Bir-Natron in April last, and as no news has been received of it since that date the authorities fear that the party must have been over taken by a severe sandstorm and strayed from the beaten track. It is believed that the detachment is now wandering somewhere in the desert to the south of Abou Tabari. Every possible attempt has been made to discover the whereabonts of the missing men and several expeditions have been despatched from Dongola with orders to search the entire district, but, unfortunately, very bad sandstorms were encountered and, as yet, no trace has been found ot the stray detachment.
Yesterday's issue of the "Egyptian Standard" (Monday, May 27) contained an account of Mr. Edward Dicey's interview with the Khedive, which also appeared in our columns at the same hour. The "Egyptian Standard" asserts that the interview was telegraphed direct from London and is very prond of the fact for it remarks :-—
"The wire sent us by Our Correspondent contained 1445 words. It is the first time an Oriental Paper has gone to such an expense for the benefit of its readers, and we shall continue to follow this policy whenever circumstances justify our doing so."
At the conclusion it appends the following terrible threat :—
"We wish it to be understood that we shall bring legal action against any paper making use of the above wire, or of our French and Arabic translations, without acknowledging the source."
The curious part of this affair is that the interview contained in this "telegram," which appeared in Monday's "Egyptian Standard" arrived by last Tuesday's "Daily Telegraph" by the Austrian Lloyd's mail, and was to be read by anybody who chose to look at the "Daily Telegraph" yesterday. We congratulate our contemporary on haying the enterprise to reproduce such a long interview from a telegraphic despatch on the very day of the arrival, by ordinary mail, of the London newspaper containing it:
The 27th annual meeting of the Land and Mortgage Company of Egypt was held last week at the Cannon Street Hotel, London, Sir E. Leigh Pemberton presiding.
The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said he believed that the social and financial position of Egypt was as good as it was last year, which was an exceptionally prosperous period. It was true that they had recently lost in Egypt the services of Lord Cromer, whose place it would be difficult to fill, but the appointment of Sir Eldon Gorst would be a consolation to those interested in Egyptian affairs, and would be an assurance of the continuation of the policy which Lord Cromer had so successfully established. Their manager in Egypt (Mr. Huri), in his report, mentioned as one of the reasons for the present prosperity and the steady progress which was being made, the benefits of the reforms inangurated under the new régime and not yet completed. Turning to the accounts, he said that the amount invested on March 31 lost was £593,632. This included the normal working of amortization and reimbursement of capital, The average rate of interest on new loans was a trifle higher than in the preceding year, and the average rate of interest on the residuary capital was also higher. Mr Hari reported that, owing to the demand for money, he had availed himself of the opportunity to raise the rate of interest on new loans, which were placed on first-rate security, and he farther stated that all their existing loans were good and safe. Another item he might mention was the great increase in the amount and value of the cotton crops grown in Egypt. They were advised that the crop this year would be close on 7,000,000 cantars, which was not only a record, but unexpected figure, The increase of the yalue of the crop enhanced the value of the land which produced it and also the margin of security for their advances, besides increasing the area for independent loans on the cotton crop itself. Out of the available balance of £12,313, the board had placed £1,040 to reserve for contingencies, and they recommended a dividend of & percent, for the past six months and a bonus of 1 per cent., in addition to the interim dividend of 5 per cent. paid in November last. There then remained £2,113 to he carried forward.
The motion for the adoption of the report was seconded by Sir Walter Mieville, and unanimously carried.

FRENCH JOURNAL'S REMARKS.
Sir Eldon Gorst, will remain at the summer quarters of the British Agency at Bulkeley until the latter part of July, when he will leave for home. During his absence in England Mr. Ronald Graham will act as Agent.
The Parisian "Temps" having published the Khedive's and Sir Eldon Gorst's speeches on the occasion of the presentation of the Exequatur, indulges in the following reflection :-—
"Les journaux d'Egypte reflétent une impression' plutét optimiste sur V'avenir de ces relations entre lagent anglais et le Khédive. Sir Eldon Gorst: serait décidé & faire de moins dautoritarisine que son prédéceasenr; On s'é- tonne cependant qu'il garde prés de Ini Van- cien seerétaire oriental de l'agence, M. Boyle, quia toujours été considéré comine Véminence | grise de lord Cromer, et Yun de ceux qui portent les plus graves responsabilités dans les erreurs (sic) de la politique anglaise en Egypte notamment dans l'affaire de Denchawai!
The Parisian newspaper appears to be under a delusion as to any surprise having been expressed at Mr, Harry Boyle's remaining at, the Agency. That gentleman's profound knowledge of Egypt render his retention a matter of course and, on the contrary, the greatest surprise would have been expressed if his valuable services were dispensed with by his transference to another post.
The Khediye has gone on an excursion in the Mariont district.

SERGANI'S APPEAL.
In the Native Tribunals of 1st Instance at Cairo, on Sunday afternoon, the appeal of Ahmed el Sergani and Ahmed el Kashef was heard before Judge Abdelrahman Bey Rida. It will be remembered that the case was one of corruption ; the accused being formerly employed by the Public Works Department, After a prolonged sitting they were eventually sentenced to terms of imprisonment of 1 year and 6 months, and 9 months, respectively, which is an increase of 6 months. on Sergani's previous sentence and 8 months on Hashef's.
There will be a meeting of the general committee, appointed to decide upon the manner in which Lord Cromer's memory should be perpetuated in Egypt, on Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Alexandria Municipality,
In this morning's issue of a Cairo paper the following "special" telegram. appeared : —
Constantinople (via Sofia) 27th—The movements ofthe British cruiser Minerva in the vicinity of Akaba Bay is cansing "apprehension at the Sublime Port. lt is thonght that the cruiser is intended to exercise a certain pressure on Turkey to oblige her to deliver the exequatur demanded by the British Copsul at Akaba. The Turkish ambassador in London has received instructions to interview Sir Edward Grey on the subject.
We are authorised to state that this telegram is altogether unwarranted and the story of the British Consul at Akaba and her exequetur is pure fiction.
The Manager of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank informs us that the announcement that the Bank had joined a syndicate formed to purchase securities on the Bourses is incorrect.
Port Said, Monday.
On Saturday afternoon there was a large and fashionable gathering of the residents of Port Said at the inauguration of the casino. The proprietors, Messrs, Simonini Bros. of the Continental Hotel, had invited a number of their friends and customers to the opening ceremony. At 5 p.m. the band which was in atténdance played the Khedivial anthem to announce the arrival of the sub-governot and the opening of the building. A telegram was received from Moheb Pasha regretting his inability to attend and expressing his best wishes for the success of the casino. Among those present were Dixon Bey and Miss Dixon, Mr. and Mrs. Snow Bey, Schalch Bey, Mr. Damont, Canon, Mrs. and the Mixses, Strange, Dr. and Mrs. Hayward, Dr. and Mrs. Cuffey, Messrs. Salt, Lloyd Jones, Broatch, Dr. Wigham, and many others.
The casino is situated on the sea front and stands in a square by itself, On the right hand of the building there is a large ball-room, which will also be used for banquets. Behind the casino are the Government gardens, which, it is hoped, will be finished next month. On Sunday the international band played from 10.30 a.m. till noon and from 4.30 p.m. till 8 p.m. On both occasions every seat was occupied, and in the evening the central part of the town,which is generally so gay on Sundays, was quite deserted in favour of the casino, An orchestra has been engaged and will play twice a day, from 4.30 p.m, till 7 and from 9.80 till 11 p.m,, and on Sunday afternoons the band will play.

Owing to the recent loss sustained by the bridegroom and his family the marriage will be a very quiet one.
At the fourth international cotton congress, being held in Vienna, most, if not all,the cotton manufactaring countries of Europe, 13 in number, are represented, and in addition, India, Japan, and the United States. For the first time the presidents of the two largest combinations of cotton planters in the United States are attending, and will report upon the progress that has been made in perfecting the arrangements for the efficient production and the handling of cotton from the plantations to the spinning mills, and for minimizing the danger that arises from the operations of speculators. Mr. C. W, Macara, the chairman of the international committee, gave a review of the work of the International Federation during the year, and papers on cotton growing, cotton supplies, yarn and cloth contracts, and other subjects of importancetotheindustry are being read. Under the direction of the president of the Austrian spinners, Herr Kufiler, who will be the president of the congress, preparations, have been made to entertain the 250 delegates who are attending the congress.

"TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE"
'Sir,—Amidst the many and varied tributes to Lord Cromer which have appeared in the world's Press within the last few weeks, not one surpasses in originality that which I discovered in Sunday's issue of a recent Cairo morning publication. It was contained in a leading article, to which the letters "R. W. J." were appended. The writer after discoursing on Lord Cromer's memorial terminates his article with this extraordinary phrase :—
It is therefore fitting that the memory of the man, who brought light and hope to Egypt in her darkest hour, should be enduringly perpetuated by the increased health and happiness of the unborn generations of the country he himself re-created. R.W.J.
The concluding words, which I have italicised, contain what is beyond the shadow of a doubt the most amazing tribute to his Lordship, which has yet appeared in any newspaper in the world. What "R.W.J." meant by "the unborn generations of the country he (Lord Cromer) himself re-created" I defy him or anyone else to explain. It would be diffienlt for Lord Cromer to "create a generation." "To create an unborn generation" in this country is a still more impossible task, but "to recreate an unborn generation !!!"
Whether an appeal be made to Ilithyia or biogenesis the recreation of unborn generations will befound to be a feat beyond the scope of either the goddess or the science, and, I venture to state, equally beyond the powers of any person with' the slightest knowledge' of language to make head or tail of.
I am, Sir,
Truly yours,

AN APPRECIATION
As an exponent of modern methods Sir Benjamin Baker united scientific knowledge with practical training and' experience, and on both sides his attainments received ample recognition. The Royal Society made him a Fellow in 1890 ; honorary degrees were bestowed upon him by the Universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh, by the Irish Academy, and other bodies ; he was a recognized leader in the work of the British Association. Engineering societies honoured his work no less. In 1895 he reached the highest position attainable by a British civil'engineer, being elected President of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Up to his death he remained an active and influential member of the council of that institution and of the council of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He was made an honorary member of many engineering societies, including the American and Canadian Societies of Civil Engineers, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In the work of the Royal Institution he was deeply interested, and it is understood that he attended the Friday evening meeting last week. In many and varied departments of knowledge: unconnected with engineering Sir Benjamin Baker was well instructed, and his interests were in no sense limited to the professional work which had. occupied his main energies. He was essentially a man of broad human sympathies, disguised it may be to some extent under a veil of reserve and apparent cynicism, but those who knew him best realized that a warm heart beat beneath and that no truer friend could be found in time of need. His loss will be felt widely, within and without the profession he adorned. On the completion of the Forth Bridge in 1890 Sir Benjamin Baker was made K.C.M,G.; and when the Assuan Dam was declared complete by the Duke of Connaught in 1902 he was made K.C.B. besides being honoured by the Khedive. '
As to the details of his achievements as an engineer it is impossible to speak here. The Forth Bridge undoubtedly owes its inception in its present form to Sir Benjamin Baker, although he was at the time of the design a partner with the late Sir John Fowler, and was always most desirous of acknowledging the valuable assistance which Sir John Fowler had rendered both in the design and in the construction of that grand structure. Like all great men, Sir' Benjamin Baker was ever ready to recognize and state his indebtedness to those who worked with or under him ; and to Sir William Arrol and others who did much to realize his design for the great bridge, or to overcome the enormous difficulties that occured in its erection, full honour was done in recording its history. But behind it all stands the original and daring conception, 'based upon scientific principles, and worked out with the greatest care.
Again, as to the Nile Dam, it is only justice to place the work done and the responsibilities assumed by Sir Benjamin Baker in the first place, while realizing that Sir William Willcocks and others rendered great service. Upon Sir Benjamin Baker, too, as consulting engineer, rested the final responsibility for advising as to the increased height to which it has been decided recently to carry the dam. Lord Cromer in his report referred especially to this circumstance, and stated that the solution of the problem of reinforcement and 'addition, which would practically double the storage of water and yet secure safety and strength in the structure, was -due to Sir Benjamin Baker. In this case, too, the remarkable qualities possessed by Sir Benjamin Baker were well illustrated. Attention has been drawn by eminent mathematicians to possible causes of failure in dams not previously taken into account by engineers in their designs ; and particular reference was made to the Assouan Dam. Quietly and deliberately this problem was studied by Sir Benjamin Baker, and when his decision was reached definite advice was given, which advice, we may be confident, will lead to satisfactory results, and prove an immense benefit to Egypt.
Cool, quiet judgment and restrained strength were his marked characteristics. His friends will not forget that, when the accident occurred to the roof of Charing-cross Station, Sir Benjamin Baker took the risk of personal inspection of the weakened structure in order to advise as to the best means ot temporarily strengthening it ; and upon him also rested the primary responsibility for recommending the ultimate removal of the roof. These are but instances of what happened again and again. In the hour of trouble Sir Benjamin Baker was a tower of strength on which men rested with confidence, His powers remained unabated to the end ; although during his recent visit to Egypt and the Sudan he suffered from illness, he seemed to have regained health and to be as energetic as ever in mental processes, The end has come suddenly, and those who knew him can believe that he would have wished it to be so. He worked to the end, and his last works were amongst his best. His name will always stand high amongst British and foreign civil engineers. ("THE TIMES")

LIFE IN SPRING
A very picturesque and vivid description of the great plateau south-west of Lake Nyassa in its spring aspect is given by a contributor to the "Field." He says ;—
For months the country has been parched and sun-baked. Trees are devoid of foliage, the grass is bleached and dry, and walking through it is stifling work ; then come the veldt fires, and by September the country is. black, burnt, and dead, while a heat or smoke haze blots out the landscape and seems merely to intensify the glare of a tropical sun rapidly approaching the zenith. The sky wears a brassy, forbidding aspect ; clouds, angry and hard-edged, hank up in the afternoons ; vivid lightning towards dusk, perhaps a few growls of thunder, an aura of coming rain, and then, some evening in the beginning of October, the reality.
What a change! Spring is on us with a rapidity that the temperate climes know not. One good shower. and in two days the face or nature is transformed. Trees burst into leaf ; birds, which seem' to have hidden themselves during the past months, made the days joyous with song. A green carpet overspreads the veldt as if by magic, and the earth smells of the life and moisture with which' it is impregnated, The days become cool and the heat haze gives place to a clearness. of atmosphere which is unrivalled even on the South African veldt.
Go to the top of a kopje and drink in the view. As far as the eye can reach is a vast sea. of low forest, broken by conical hills standing like sentinels above the surrounding plain, and by open glades, or "dambos," whose grass presents the most vivid green one cart imagine in nature.
Now for the denizens of the country. Natives there are few ; some tiny kraals at long intervals in the forest. Not so the wild animals, Slowly working their way down an open park, a herd of zebra and haartebeest meander, noses grass shoots, tails busily switching off-the flies which cluster round them. Warthogs scurry to and fro, tearing up the fresh green clods in their search for succulent roots. They always seem busy, these warthogs. A hurried scamper out of the forest into the open, and all are hard at it, nosing up the soft earth ; then, without apparent rhyme or reason, tails up in the air, and off they scamper to another part to repeat the process.
Suddenly the antelopes become alarmed ; heads up for a moment, a hasty sniff round, the danger scented, a noisy clatter of hoofs, and they are off. The cause of it? Perchance a lion skulking in the neighbouring cover, or, if you are lucky, a roan or haartebeest galloping full tilt across the glade, head thrown back, nostrils dilated, eyes wide with terror, foam flecks on the foreflanks, a pack of hunting dogs in close pursuit, the white 'splash on their bushy tails marking the rhythin of their headlong gallop. Nature is here unspoiled, No bullock wagons, with swearing «fivers, and indiscriminate slaughter of the country's game by their owners. The great tsetse belt to the south takes care of that. The South African invasion has yet to come.
Perhaps we have a Government official or prospector, with long tail of carriers walking in single file, each his load upon his head. 'These are in keeping with the country. Tramping silently along the forest path, the rhythmical pat-pat of the bare feet, the glistening black Skins make but a momentary impression, and lo, they are gone, swallowed up in the green vista beyond.
Or, perhaps, far away in the distance, the sound of singing—a wild. weird chant. Londer and louder it becomes ; at last it is on you. Round a bend in the path trots a boy in bright-coloured clothes carrying a rifle, then another, perhaps two, a third with a chair a fourth with helmet and waterbottle, lastly a machilla or hammock carried by twelve or more boys in relays of two. These are responsible for the singing as they trod steadily along.
Under the awning, lazily reclining on a leopard skin, lies a white man, smoking peacefully, reading newspapers at least three months old. A picturesque figure, yet not unkempt ; white buckskin shoes or slippers, loose khaki trousers, white or khaki shirt, a silk kerchier loosely thrown round the neck and pulled through a gold ring. A retinue of pure savages, trained to perfect, unquestioning obedience. A sharp command; the song ceases, the machilla halts. We exchange a few conventional' remarks, usually with reference to game and water on ahead, and they are off again. The song becomes fainter dnd fainter in the distance, is lost, and nature again reigns supreme.
The sun is sinking towards the west. It is time. to return to camp. Here is noise enough; all the boys chattering round their fires; a buzz of contentment. A comfortable tent, and in front of it a table with spotless cloth. Afternoon tea ready, and served at once. A good lounge chair, plenty tobacco, and perhaps the mail.
The S.S. Herefordshire of the Bibby Line is hastening homewards to undergo certain alterations, and will ieave Port Said on the 7th of June instead of on the 10th of that month, as previously advertised.
The Moss liner Tabor arrived yesterday afternoon from Liverpool via Gibraltar, Algiers, Malta, and Tripoli, with passengers, mails and general cargo.

ROYAL GARRISON ARTILLERY
The Artillery visited Guezireh Badrane on Friday last to meet the Institute cricket team. The Gunner's captain won the toss and batted first. A bad start was made Bowman being caught at point of Wilson's second ball and Bradley being bowled with only a single scored. The Artillery batsmen made a show against. the homesters bowlers only Corpl. Burgess and Major Smith making any resistance. 'The last wicket fell 'With the total at 53. Wilson who bowled night through the innings was in splendid form. He bowled very fast and took six Artillery wickets or the small cost of 16 runs. Rev. Burns and Windsor who batted first for the home side kept together till 49 were scored, Windsor and Woods then being out in quick succession, the former being well caught in the slips and the latter bowled. After Rev, Burns was out for a well made 22 May and the Institute skipper Davies fine stand and the 100 was hoisted before May left. Walker his successor and Davies partnered each till 150 Was on the board Davies then being bowled. He had scored 55 in magnificent style without' giving the semblance of a chance. At 6.30, stumps were drawn the Institute having compiled 204 for the loss of seven batsmen. This is the railways men's fifth win this season. Appended are the scores :—
