One of the most significant of recent developments in Egyptian politics has been the remarkable sympathy which some Radical members of Parliament have bestowed on the Egyptian Nationalist Party. It is unfortunate that the native agitators should be beguiled by the attitude of these irresponsible politicians at home into assuming that their claims are recognised in England, and the recent statement by Mr. Morley as to the present Government's position towards the unrest in India should be carefully noted by the Egyptian Nationalists. The following extract from the latest issue of the "Spectator" is peculiarly appropriate for reading for Such persons and "Egypt" and "Egyptian" should be read for "India" and "Indian" in the following article: –
Looking at the matter impartially, we 'cannot but feel a certain amount of intellectual sympathy for, the Indian agitators who are thus being perpetually misled by British Radicals. From their point of view, their
British friends must seem the most faithless of men. Not only do they use language from which it appears that they consider that their special political principles are applicable to all peoples at all times and in all places, and not only do they give personal and detailed encouragement to individual Indians engaged in attempts to destroy the British raj, but they seem willing to further directly specific proposals of a revolutionary kind. Natarally the Indian agitator is delighted at receiving such help, and is inclined to think his case half won. As soon, however, as the slightest strain comes—as soon, that is, as there is any attempt to translate theory into practice, and there occurs the necessary breaking of the eggs required to make the omelette—the British Radical starts back i in indignation, and makes it quite clear that he never intended to sanction anything of that sort, and that though he is very sorry that this or that gentleman with a difficult name should be inconvenienced or harshly treated by the bureaucrats of Simla and Calcutta, he cannot possibly give encouragement to violent and seditious acts. The Asiatic mind may in regard to large questions be mystic and illogical, but as regards minor matters it is intensely syllogistic, and is disgusted to find how unwilling the British patrons of the so-called Indian. national movement are to draw the "inevitable" conclusions from premises which they are willing to endorse in the abstract with so much emphasis.
If the Indian-agitators were wise, they would completely abandon the notion of getting any help which will be of the least practical use to them from the British Radicals. The help offered by such sympathisers, though no doubt honestly meant when first proffered, is sure in the end. to prove a snare and a delusion. They will find also that democracies are what they would 'probably term, in their not unnatural disappointment, the most cruel, irresponsible, and least trustworthy of. Governments when what are supposed to be the rights of dependents are concerned. As Burke pointed out in a passage of deep wisdom and eloquence, you must never suppose that it is possible to put the same kind of pressure upon a democracy that you can place upon an individual Sovereign or upon an oligarchy. Democracy acts like a great force of nature, and is as impervious to the personal appeal. The sovereign people possess a complete self-confidence, and believe that what they do'is invariably right, They have no fears of ultimate consequences, or of being punished or held responsible for their acts, such as oligarchies and kings have always in the background of their minds, They have an instinetive feliance pon the maxim vor populi vor Dei. Democracies, again, know no fear of public opinion. "Their own approbation of their own acts has to them the appearance of a public judgment in their favour." Burke goes on to declare that a democracy is also the most fearless thing in the world: "No man apprehends in his person that he can be made' subject to punishment. Certainly the people, at large never ought; for, as all punishments are.for example towards the conservation of the people at large, the people at large can never become the object of punishment by any human hand" For this reason "it is of infinite importance," continues Burke, "that they should not be suffered to imagine that their will, any more than that of kings, is the standard of right and wrong." With that view of the moral responsibility of democracies we are in entire agreement. But such agreement does not prevent us from realising the pénetrating truth of Burke's view as to the self-confidence and fearlessness of democracy, and of how little avail it is to tell the people, when it has made up its mind on'a particular line of action, that it thought, or seemed to think, very differently a year before. The plea which may be,so effectual with a king or with an oligarchy, "Why did you lead us on" is utterly powerless to move a democracy. It does not seem even to hear such a complaint.
But though we state this warning in regard to those who are agitating in favour of the paradox of fiction, Indian Nationalism, we fear there is little chance of our warning being heard. What is far more likely is that as soon as the present crisis subsides the Indian agitators will once more begin to build upon hopes extited by the irresponsible outpourings of individual British democrats, and oncé more will be bitterly disappointed by the event, That is a result to be deeply regretted ; but it is one, we fear, for which there is no remedy. We must take democracy as we find it, and cannot hope to alter its essential conditions. One of these is unconciously to lay what seems almost a trap undoing of persons like Lala Lajpat Rai

(Gazette's Special Service.)
LONDON, Tuesday.
The "Heliopolis," the first steamer of the Egyptian Mail Steamship Company Limited, was launched this afternoon from Messrs. Fairfields' yard on the Clyde at Glasgow. The ceremony was conducted before a large and distinguished company, including Lord and Lady Cromer. The vessel'was launched by Lady Dalkeith and the launching was effected without a hiteh.
The "Heliopolis" flew a large white flag bearing in Greek characters Lord Cromer's last message to the Egyptian nation, "Eupsuchei," the flag having been presented by*the "Egyptian Gazette."
A souvenir, in the form of an illustrated pamphlet, was presented to the guests, As soon as the "Heliopolis" starts running travellers will be able to do the journey from Alexandria to London in four days instead of the present six.
The vessel is magnificently equipped and furnished in the most-luxurions and artistic fashion.
The following are her measurements :—
Length over all . . . . 545 feet.
Breadth . . . . 60 feet 3 inches
Depth from keel to shelter
deck . . . . 38 feet.
Tonnage . . . . 12,000 gross.
Horse-power . . . . 18,000.
Every requirement of Lloyd's and the Board of Trade has been more than met with. The "Heliopolis" is sub-divided into ten compartments by water-tight bulkheads, while a cellular double bottom has been fitted from stem to stern, In all, there are seven decks.
Immediately abatt the officers' quarters is a café, 63 feet by 40 feet, designed in the Regency style and with seating accommodation for eighty-five passengers, Immediately aft of the café are the kitchens, the pantries, and the stores. The roof of the café forms the flying-bridge, upon which have been placed the chart and wheel-houses. At the other end of the boat-deck is a large office for the reception and dispatch of Marconi wireless telegrams. Aft of this isa roomy alcove, On the promenade-deck, is a long, steel deck-honse, built in island fashion, in the centre of which has been placed the music-room, which is 45 feet by 30 feet. Forward and aft of-the music-room are groups of state-rooms, arranged to accommodate two or three persons in each, and in all 133 first-class passengers. A portion of this vast deek-house has been divided up into suites, containing sitting-rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms, Theconstruction of the bridge-deck is very similar, and on this deck is the main entrance to the grand staircase. An electric passenger-lift also links up all seven decks. On the bridge-deck is the library. Further aft is the smoking-room, 50 feet by 40 feet.
Between the library and the smoking-room are further groups of state rooms, which accommodate 107 first-class passengers. The shelter-deck is for the most part allotted to public rooms, and in this respect must be regarded as the most. important deck of the ship. On it are arranged not only the first-class dining-saloon, butalso the second-class dining-saloon, the second-class "Social Hall," and the second-smoking-room, Also on this deck, just aft ofthe bridge and in the centre of the ship, is the children's dining-saloon. On either side of the children's saloon are groups of staterooms arranged. in island fashion. It is the first-class dining-saloon, however, that is undoubtedly the most striking apartinent of all. It occupies the whole breadth of the ship, and is 77 feet in length. The design is of the Georgian period, and in all 266 persons can sit down at one time.
The second-class dining-saloon is 60 feet by 50 feet, with seating accommodation for 180 persons, Aft of the dining-saloon is the second-class "Social Hall," a vast and beautiful apartment. At the extreme end of this deck, aft of the second-class smoking-room, are hospitals both for men and women,* furnished to meet every possible contingency. There are huge stores, hairdressers' shops, a dispensary, and ample room for passengers' spare luggage. With the "hermo-tank" system thie vessel can never be uncomfortably hot or uncomfortably cold, and is never stuffy. '"Thermo-tanks" are distributed over thé various decks to collect fresh air from the open, and, when charged, can reduce or raise the temperature of the air to any degree desired. This done, the airis distributed by fans through trunks leading to every section of the vessel. The tanks are not only capable of renewing the air twelve times in an hour, but could also maintain the air at 60° Fahr., with a surrounding atmosphere at zero, In addition to this, the ship has been furnished with scores of little electric exhaust fans. The refrigerating plant for the preservation of provisions is the best that can be got, while the electric light plant is so complete that every stateroom is fitted with ladies' electric curling tongs.
The ship has been fitted with the Clayton Fire Extinguisher, an apparatus 'which is capable of discharging in any part of the ship 25,000 cubic feet of fire-extinguishing gas per hour by means of pipes laid on to each and every room. For the further comfort of all on board a constant supply of water, salt and fresh, hot and: cold, has been laid on all over the vessel. The machinery consists of three of Parsons' latest compound steam turbines, one high-pressure turbine in the centre, and two low-pressure turbines on either side of the
vessel Their collective power is equivalent to 18,000 indicated horse-power when each of the shafts is making 340 revolutions a minute. Every care that could be taken has been employed to reduce noise and vibration to a minimum. 5
LONDON, May 28.
The Egyptian Mail Company's steamer "Heliopolis" has been launched at Glasgow. She is intended for service between Marseilles and Alexandria and will accommodate 500. first class passengers. "The journey to Cairo will be reduced by 1(½) days. (Reuter)
At a meeting of the Committee of the British Chamber of Commerce of Egypt, on Monday, Mr. Robert J. Moss waa unanimously elected to the post of President of the Chamber for the unexpired term of office of the late lamented Mr. Sydney H, Carver.
In thanking the members for the honour conferred upon him, Mr, Moss made feeling and touching allusions to hia Jate, ftiend and colleague, and paid a warm tribute to the manner in which Mr, Sydney Carver had led the strenuous life and had always striven to reach the ideal of a hardworking, straightforward, conscientious and God-fearing citizen.
The following resolution was unanimously passed by the committee, und the president was requested to convey the same to Mrs, Sydney H. Carver and family.
Resolved that the committee records' with deep regrét the loss sustained by the British Chamber of Commerce of Egypt through the death of Mr. Sydney H. Carver, one of its original members, 'and its, president for the current year, and expresses itshigh sense of the benefit derived from his zealous services and sound advise especially valuable from his long residence in the country and' from his matured business experience."
Mr, Perey W. Carver, of Messrs Carver Bros & Co Ltd., and Mr, A.G.M. Dickson, sub-governor of the National Bank of Egypt, were unanimously elected to fill all vacancies on the Committee.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE."
Sir,—On Monday last after reading the account of Mr. Dicey's interview with the Khedive in the "Daily Telegraph" of Tuesday, the 21st inst., I happened to buy a copy of the day's issue of the "Egyptian Standard." My surprise was great to read the account of the same interview, which that paper alleged had, been telegraphed out at great expense!
I am glad to see that you notice in to-day's "Gazette" this wonderful instance of Mustapha Pasha Kamel's enterprise.It is an unheard of exploit in journalism in Egypt, indeed in another country, to go to the expense of telegraphing 1445 words from England when the very subject of the telegram is to be found in the London ngwspapers arrived by rail and steamer. There are only two alternatives: either that this telegram was as slow in reaching Egypt as if its contents had been posted in the usual way or else—well—the other alternative is obvious. It is to be hoped that we shall be enlightened, for as the "Egyptian Standard" says "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,"
If this "policy" is then to be continued, on the same day that the mail brings the London newspapers to Egypt, we shall find their contents telegraphed out from London' and reproduced on' that day in the "Egyptian Standard." Even the go-ahead American journal has never invented such a strange sample of newspaper enterprise. I should like to know whether this sort of thing, in the opinion of European journalists in the employ of Mustapha Pasha Kamel, is calculated to impress the intelligent portion of their readers? Surely such a "policy," to use the expression employed by the "Egyptian Standard" in this very case, is not calculated to impress its English readers with any regard for the seriousness of its aims,
Truly Yours,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE"
Dear Sir,
I suggest that if the Railway Administration established a well managed and equipped refreshment room at the Cairo station similar to those at all 'the more important termini in England, the innovation would be much appreciated by the travelling pnblic.
Moreover passengers by the Upper Egypt express leaving Cairo at 8.30 a.m. are obliged to accomplish a somewhat trying journey without benefit ofan iced drink unless they elect to wrestle with the idiosyncracies of the foreign attendant at the Minieh "Buffet" for which encounter an all too short halt is allowed.
These have reason to hail the advent of the "Thermos" water bottle.
The tourists, bless them, leave us'ere the summer. Haye the Administration no thought for the comfort of their 'regular customer'?
It is not impossible that the absence of a decent refreshment room at the Cairo station should be made the subject of a question in the House of Commons at no distant date!!
Yours faithfully,
MR. DICEY'S "NEGLIGENCE."
The declarations of the Khedive in his interview with Mr. Edward Dicey have not pleased that part of the Nationalist Press, which is led by Mustapha Pasha Kamel. The organs of the Pasha impugn the authenticity of the statements contained therein on account of Mr. Dicey's age ! They also assert that Mr. Bernie Mansfield, the Cairo correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph," has made a declaration to the editor of "Al Minbar" to the effect that he was of opinion that Mr. Dicey had not communicated the contents of the article to the Khedive prior to publication. There was, however, plenty of time for Mr. Dicey to have done so, as he was here for many months and such an important matter as an interview with the ruler of the country must necessarily have been submitted prior to publication. The following comments are from the "Egyptian Standard." The English of our contemporary is reproduced textually and we are therefore not responsible for the idiosyncrasies of the style, for which there is doubtless an excuse, for an English edition of an Egyptian Nationalist newspaper naturally disdains to use the King's English. The article runs as follows :—
The general theme of conversation on Sunday and yesterday was the Khedivial declarations published of Mr. Dicey in the "Daily Telegraph." The general impression was that the Khedive had been anxious to counteract—though with great ability—the effect produced in London by his recent interview with M. Puaux, which, upon its publication in "Le Temps," had created universal comments. It is also generally believed that Mr. Dicey ornamented his interview as is his custom. It has been noticed, in fact, that he has placed in the Khedive's declarations his own words and personal ideas, as expressed in his recent book on "Egypt of the Future." In this book, it is remembered, the author spoke about the "veiled protectorate" and about the opportunities lost by England when she might effectively have proclaimed her protectorate over Egypt. Mr. Bernie Mansfield, the Cairo correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph," declared to an editor of "Al Minbar," that he thought Mr. Dicey had not communicated his article to the Khedive before sending it to the "Daily Telegraph." Anybody who knows Mr. Dicey is not unaware of his great negligence, caused beyond doubt by his extreme age. It is he who stated that the General Assembly had met in Abdeen Palace, that it had met three months previous to the celebrated session last March, that it had decided to send a commission to the Sinaï Peninsula, that Saad Pasha Zaglool had been an editor on the staff of "Al Lewa" well as other absurdities.
A writer who makes so many statements contrary to facts, is quite capable of altering the real thoughts of the Khedive. At any rate—and so much can be asserted—he has given a form to the declarations in question which renders them disagreeable in the eyes of the Egyptians. Dropping all further considerations concerning Mr, Dicey's rôle in the interview, we wish to state it is with pleasure we have observed that the Imperialist press avows the Khedive has nothing to do and has done nothing in connection with the National Movement. This movement is completely independent. His Highness can be either friendly or unfriendly with the British. As for us, our struggle will always be firm, patriotic and untiring. We serve our country which is placed higher than all Khedives and all men. If thanks to our efforts the Khedivial throne becomes firmer, the rights of the Khedive will on the contrary become restricted. We wish in the first place to have a strong constitution which will put an end to the whims and caprices of an absolute power. Happy the Sovereign who is able to understand that his influence is all the more powerful, the greater the liberties enjoyed by his people and the more absolute masters they are of their own destinies!
The Khedive, is debited to arrive at Montazah this evening from his excursion to Mariout.
His Highness will proceed to. Ras el-Tin Palace to-morrow to preside at ye Council of Ministers.

LORD ROTHSCHILD'S OPINION
LONDON, May 28.
The weakness of the Stock Market was renewed to-day. A firm of jobbers failed yesterday. Lord Rothschild in the course of an interview, said with regard to the decline in no immediate prospect of improvement. With President Roosevelt attacking railways, the French ineome-tax problem, the Socialist movement in England, and the public killing the goose which lays the golden éggs, one'could not expect any other market conditions. ( Reuter)
On the refusal of the Credit Lyonnais to combine with the other banks in advancing the sum requiréd by the syndicate for the purchase of certain shares, the manager ot the Imperial Ottoman Bank at Alexandria thought it advisable to withdraw his adhesion pending further communication with the board of directors and up to how the board has not seen its way to adhesion of that bank.
A correspondent writes :-—
Egyptian Bank from the syndicate should not cause any surprise, asin view of the secession of the Credit Lyonnais the unanimity has broken down. The syndicate, however, will continue its mission, The banks will advance on first class securities'to the syndicate, but what can be effected with half a million capital or thereabouts it is difficult to see, except so far as the moral effect. No doubt the moral effect will be good in helping to restore confidence and will relieve the market of some of the Hoatitig stock of the fitst class."
The "Morning Post" of Wednesday last, in its review of the previous day's state of the London Stock ~Exchange, remarks under the heading of 'Fallin Egyptian Bank Shares" :-—
In the Miscellaneous Sections the weakness of Egyptian Bank Shares, was something of a feature. The selling was said to have ita origin in Cairo, "and was chiefly directed against National Bank of Egypt Shares, which closed 1(½) lower at 21(¾), after being down to 21(¼). Land Bank of Egypt Shares lost (¼), and those of the Agricultural Bank were dull.
The British exports of iron and steel to Egypt in 1906 were 60,368 tons, This quantity is 27,461 tons under the exports of 1907, and 14,428 tons under the quantity exported in 1907. It is well above tho exports of other previous years, but having regard. given a form to the declarations in question it? the large and rapid growth of the Egyptian market, greater progress. would naturally be looked for.
The regular iron trade of the country is now divided up between, Great Britain, Belgium, and Germany, Belgian imports being the most important after the British.
During the last two yeats more has been done by British firms in order to secure direct representation in Egypt by opening special offices and having responsible heads on the spot at all times, as is arranged by some of the leading German; Belgian and French firms, The demand for iron and steel is rapidly increasing, there being much enterprise visible in, building operations, irrigation, etc.
In no previous year hag-the increase of demand for iron and iron products been more marked that in 1906, when the value of the imports under these heads—including machinery and alloya—increased by 37 percent, The imports of "from and iron wares" alone increased from I. E. 1,246,00 in 1907 to LE, 1,847,000 in that year.
The iron consumption of Egypt is advancing at a quite exceptional rate, and this applies equally to iron products, to locomotives, to agricultural machinery, and to general machinery. The imports of these products into Egypt in 1906 were ofthe value of L, E. 3,593,000 being an increase of L. E. 959,000-compared with the previous year.
Under the head of metal and works in metals, the total value imported in January and February, 1907, was L.E. 573,248, of which LE. 259,435 were received fram Great Britain, L-E.76,664 from Germany, L.E.18,789 from Austria,' LE, 101,628 from France.
The total imports into Egypt in 19 6 were valued at LE. 24,011,000, while the total exports amounted to I.E, 24,877,000.

The doings of Prince Ibrahim Helmy says a London contemporary, are giving a good deal of cause for gossip in and about Naples just now. The Prince arrived at. Posillipo from Paris sometime ago, and, admitted to the highest society by reason upon the most lavish scale of the gorgeous East." Now there is the piper to be paid, and the talk is all of creditors, protested bills, and lawsuits. The Prince is stated to have three or four lawauits hanging over his head all for background involving a good many thousand pounds.
The Right Reverend Biahon Morley, D.D, formerly season chaplain at Assouan from 1908 to 1907, and Archdeacon of the Church of England in Egypt in 1907, is, we regret to say, not returning to Egypt next season, having accepted the English chaplaincy at San Remo from October next.

We referred in previous number to the work now being done in the registration of lands in Gezira. We understand that surveying parties 'are going over every mile of territory, carefully measuring the land, setting up landmarks and drawing minute maps of each section separately. When their work is accomplished, they are followed by the civil judge or some other legal official, who decides questions of proprietorship, and settles any disputes about the rightful ownership of lands. The land is finally registered in the name of the right proprietors.
This is a long and:tedious work, and the need is felt of having a large number of men engaged upon it, in order to have all lands duly registered within a reasonably short time. Now that the land is still cheap, disputes about proprietorship may be settled without much difficulty. But later on, when the irrigation projects have been accomplished, or at least definitely planned, and the price of land gone up, settlement of disputes about territorial possession will become a much mere complicated affair. And we believe that any sams now expended in order to expedite this work as much as possible will be prudently spent, and will save the expenditure of much larger sums in the future, not to mention the labor and time of legal officials. , ("The Sudan Time")

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE"
Sie, ––– I beg to give you the following, which emanates from the most trustworthy source. The victimised contributor does not care to disclose his name unnecessarily, but if indispensable is ready to do so, Yesterday, Sunday the 26th inst. at about 9.30a.m., the person in question, a well-known city solicitor, was hurrying to catch his tram at the "Halte" of Camp Ceasar. Four successive times the trams passed without stopping. The gentleman became exasperated and expostulated with the man in charge of the "Halte" who feigned sympathy and who tried to appease his growing 'anger with comforting assurances that the next tram would stop (between parenthesis this man is an Armenian wattman told off to do the duty of station master) seemed quite unadapted for the post he was fulfilling; in fact he seemed like a fish out of water, unable to give any tangible reason for the non-stoppages of trams at the Halte of Camp Caesar. At last Mr. X. who had a most important appointment to fulfil in town and seeing there was no alternative, contronted the next in-coming tram "ala Sarah Bernhardt." by placing himself between the rails and ordering the wattman to stop. 'The latter at once relented,the pace and almost came to a standstill at the dormant Armenian at once awoke from his state of lethargy and urged the wattman to take no heed of his appeals and to hurry on, with the result that the tram almost trampled him over, heedless of any responsibility he might have incurred by sacrificing a life, not to say murdering a man, in cold blood, which would' haye been a British jury's verdict under the circumstances.
It was only later on in town that Mr. X found out that the itinerary of the A. R. R. had been changed and the notice was only, to his knowledge, made out in French, so that illiterate people or those not knowing this language, remained in ignorance of the change of the "horaire" (not to say horror) and if they have to depénd on "sleeping beauties" or inefficient men, it were as well that they. kept to their beds of a Sunday. Now it is time that reasonable measures should be taken to ensure frequent and regular stoppages at "Camp César," for not only has the population immensely increased in the surrounding areas, but owing to the congested traffic of the Ibrahimieh station, most 'of the residents of the surrounding districts flock to the "Halte" of the Camp. of Ceasar and it must be most distressing not to be able to find a means of conveyance after trudging all that way, especially under a hot sun. The gentleman who underwent this sad ordeal was the promoter of a committee organised about two years ago to expose the grievances of the Campocaesarites and successfully obtained a promise from thé Co. that there should be successive and regular stoppages at the "Halte" of "Campo Caesare," but with the change of the traction from railway to tramway, they have not bettered themselves ; on the contrary, they find themselves worse off. Other minor and less important stations such as Victoria College, Mazarita, Chatby and Cléopatra have: regular stoppages to the detriment of Caesar's Camp. For whims and sports they find ample time to gratify their aims but for the important demands of a growing population, they have no consideration.
It is time this matter should be seen into.
Yours truly,
"Ancient Records of Egypt." By James Henry, Breasted, PH. D, Vols. 1.-V. (University of Chicago Press.)
The final yolume of this valuable work has appeared, and begets in us a hearty admiration of the industry as well as the. erndition of the author. We do not know how long a time Dr. Breasted has devoted to the actual writing of the five large volumes before us but to have seen four of them throngh the' and to have "constantly supervised," he tells us, the compilation of the' indexes which form the fifth,. in hardly more than a year, is a feat of strength which has few equals. Nor does this seem to have been' attended by the slovenliness which is the general characteristic of hasty work and there are few slipshod expressions in the book. American "hustling," therefore, has foronce been justified, and the University of Chicago has reason to rejoice over the strennonsness of her Professor of Egyptology.
Dr Breasted's aim is to put at the disposal of the general public all the written documents upon which the history of Pharaonic Egypt should be based, and it may be said at once that he has fully succéeded. He hero translates into readable English nearly every nscription that can be ealled historical, and in this he has been largely helped by the great collection of extracts lately made at Berlin for the purpose of'the forthcoming Egyptian dictionary, and by the excellent' transcripts now in course of publication, under the editorship of Dr. Steindorff, with the title of Urkunden: des agyptiechen Altertums. It may, in. fact, be said that such a work would have been impossible without the active co-operation of the Berlin School of Egyptology, and the English-speaking public may be congratulated on the fact that the. task has fallen upon a scholar. whiting in our-own tongue, and at the same timexo. thoroughly in touch with the school in question as Dr. Breasted. Yet he has not sernpled to go outside Germany for his sources 'when occasion required. He expressly warns us in his opening chapter that the student of Egyptian documents cannot now work exclusively in his library ; and he tells us that all his copies have been collated with, and some actually made at first hand from, the monuments themselves. The execution of this task has involved not only frequent visits to Egypt, but also a more or less prolonged stay in nearly every museum in Europe.
One thing that must strike the lay reader in this connexion is the prima facie 'impossibility that such a mass of evidence could be compressed into even four substantial volumes. From the rise of the First Dynasty, to the Persian conquest a space of time variously estimated at from 5,000 to 3,000 years must have elapsed ; and from what we know of the preservative properties of the soil of Egypt, and the eagerness with which monuments have been sought since the days of Champollion, it might be guessed that the publication of such inscriptions might easily run to three or four times the present length. But those who would thus argue must shut their eyes to the fact that the Egyptians were never a history writing people. While the kings of Assyria and Babylon were setting up inscriptions really designed to teach posterity the extent of their sway And the limits of their conquests, the Pharaohs contented themselves with an occasional hymn of triumph over an enemy generally and vaguely named "that foe" or a series of more or less conventional pictures on the walls of a 'tomb giving a few incidents in the life of the prince there buried. Hence all but a small fraction of the documents that Dr. Breasted has translated are not in their intention history at all, but deeds, private letters, foundation-tablets, and diplomatic correspondence, from which material valuable for history can be gathered. Thus nearly all the information we have here about the pyramid-building Fourth Dynasty consists of inscriptions upon the rocks of Sinai, dedication inscriptions on the walls of tombs, and a few wills by members of the royal: family or high: officials of the period. It is not until the Eighteenth Dynasty is reached that any great body of evidence regarding expeditions, military and peaceful, into foreign lands becomes available. This work shonld be of great service to Egyptology.
(BRITISH AGENT AND CONSUL-GENERAL IN EGYPT, 1883-1907).
Patlence, begotten of the far-sceing mind,
Subduing the strong spirit's Inward flame,
Is crowned at last. To-day a great man's name
Is graven on the charter he designed
Of freedom to the poor, the maimed, the blind,
Who bore for ages Egypt's yoke of shame.
The master-builder of new Egypt's fame
Lives in her heart ~a memory enshrined.
If ever rest from toil were nobly earned,
'Tis thine, Imperial Consul, who thro' stress
Of war and jarring councils hast discerned,
And taught a land in darkness to confess,
The truth for which heroic Gordon burned,
That paths of peace are paths of righteousness,
G. H. TREVOR, In the "Spectator."
Professor Ravenstein has estimated that the fertile-lands of the globe amount to 28 million square miles, the steppes to 14 millions, and the deserts to one million. Fixing 207 persons to the square mile for fertile lands, 10 for steppes, and one for deserts as the greatest population that the earth could properly nourish, the professor arrives at the conclusion that when the number of inhabitants reaches about 6,000 million. the earth will be peopled to its full capacity. At present, says the New York "Tribune," it contains somewhat more than one-quarter of that number. If the rate of increase shown by the latest census statistics should be uniformly maintained, Professor Ravenstein shows that thé globe' would be fully peopled about the year 2072.

Major R.N. Gamble, D.S.O Royal Berkshire Regiment, who was so very popular in Alexandrian society during the recent stay of the battalion there, has just been promoted to the head of the battalion, vice Colonel F.W.N.M. Cracken, D.S.O., whose term had expired. The majority has gone to Captain F.W. Foley, D.S.O., who is alsé well known in Egyptian circles
It seems that the new appointment of Commander in Chief in the Mediterranean land forces may have an important bearing on the Morrocan question. In Continental circles, the appointment is looked upon as an indication that Great Britain has made up her mind to have a good deal to say in anything affecting the lands of the Sheerif.
But apart from all that, there is good reason to believe that the appointment has been made in order to give more, effect to the now time honoured maxim that the waterway of the Mediterranean should be practically in British hands, and, of course, it is of the last importance that the eastward route to India, via the Suez 'Canal, should be properly guarded. The new programme of combined naval and military training and tactics will trend towards that. But it is still a moot point if one hand can, control all the cords in war time, over such a, wide area of operations.
Captain H.F. Fraser, 21st Empress of India's Lancers who is well known in Egypt has been promoted major by selection in that smart regiment, getting his squadron at eleven and a half years Service. He served on the staff in the South African War, 1899-1901 Queen's (medal with two clasps).
Lieutenant HS. Wilson, 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers, has been selected for service with the King's African Rifles.
Lieutenant D.C.E. Comyn, Black Watch, oh returning home from Egypt, where he was employed as an inspector in the Bahr-el-Gazal Province, has been posted to the Ist Battalion at the Curragh.
In-working out the fate of modern Egypt, one mighty factor—the British officer—seldoin yets the credit it is fairly entitled to. In every department that has helped the land of the Pharaohs in its onward. march to peace and prosperity, the military officer has right faithfully enacted his part. In the financial department he has been paramount, and the same remark applies to the Customs, Railways, Police, Telegraph, Post Office and other departments. And all this is the onteome of the army of occupation which followed the troubles of 1882, when Egypt and its dependencies were riven to the centre. The prosperity of Egypt is a standing refutation of the libels on the efficiency of the British officer not only in peacé but in war, the former being the natural outcome of the latter.
The vacant majority in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers has gone to Captain Arthur Love band, of the Ist Battalion, Alexandria, who mounts the crown at a little less that twenty two years service. Major Loveband got his commission in the gallant "Dubs" in August, 1885, was promoted captain in 1894, and was adjutant of ofie of the line battalions and of one the militia battalions in succession. He saw some service in the winding up stages of the Transvaal campaign, 1902, with his present battalion. The promotion of Major Laveband brings Captain H.W. Higginson, presently attached to the: 2nd Battalion, Fermoy, in on the establishment, to which he was a supernumary whilst employed as adjutant of the 4th Battalion.
London, May 18.
The vacant captaincy in the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, caused by the temporary withdrawal of Captain Herbert Dixon, has been filled by the promotion of Lientenant F. B. Nixon, the senior snbaltern. Captain Nixon joined the Inniskillings in August, 1900, and served on the staff in the South African War, 1901-02, taking part in the closing stages of the guerilla warfare in the 'Transyaal and Oranze River® Colony (Queen's medal with five clasps).
In honour of the visit of the King of Denmark, a review of the troops will be held at Aldershot on the 12th June.
Captain Rees-Mogg, Royal Irish Regiment, been seconded for service with the Egyptian Army. Captain Rees-Mogg, who was latterly attached to the 1st Battalion, in the Punjab, has spent over eight years in the Royal Irish Regiment, and has commanded a company since August, 1907.
The flesh must wither---yes it may be so,
Change as a garment and be cast away.
The other self in Paradise will grow
With Angel's Indestructible as they,
The eyes in ageing--yes it must be so,
Shall fade as do the stars before the day
But they'll thine and this we surely know,
When sun and moon are blind for aye, and aye!
The heart with throbing.--yes It must be so,
Knocks at the door, as though a King should say,
A fortress hold's me, yet if fair would go,
And every King we think should have his way,
Hearts! eyes are dying---yes that may be so,
Death is a tyrant, who can say him nay ?
The chrysalis assumes the dust, but lo!
What lovely wings are fashioned out of clay.
Many theories are given by way of answer to the inquiry, Why are We right handed? Some suppose it is because of long ages of heredity; that centuries upon centuries or merely partial employment, or none at all, has caused the neglected left hand to lose its natural cunning. Among biologists (says Mr. O. P. Morris, writing in the New York "Tribune") it is notorious that many animals, birds, and insects have had organs, both external and internal, fall into desuetude through disuse attendant upon changed conditions of environment or ways of living.
One great physiologist points out that when man was acaye dweller, and had to fight with mammoth or mastodon for bare subsistence, stone axe or spear in hand, he probably used the right hand in order to keep his heart most vital of organs, as far away as possible froman adversary's assault. And later, when tribe fought tribe his common foes, it was found convenient to wield weapons in unitormity, leaving the other hand and arm free for preserving balange and for holding a shield. In this way it is thought right-handedness was brought about and passed down from father mn for untold generations, Man has ever been a fighting animal, and it must have been clear to him from the earliest times that if some of the fighting phalanx were right-handed and others left-handed, their weapons would be continually clashing, and their squares thrown into disorder, with disastrous effect when the enemy should perceive a momentary confusion. On the other hand, if each man used spear or axe with the same hand as his neighbour, symmetry and system would be given to the, fighting force. To maintain that the left hand suffers from any physical disability, as compared with its more favoured fellow, is unfair, and not in accordane? with fact. This may be shown by anyone who takes pains to train his left hand ; he will soon find that one may become as clever as the other. One may go further, and point out that in some matters of everyday life the left hand is habitually given equal rights with the other. Thus in knitting a woman gives both an equal share of work; and apparently she is equally skilled with each hand.
This Man Lived In Torture.
No Respite Day or Night.
––––––––––
Never a Twinge of Pain Now,
Cured and Strengthened by
DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
"Like many more people I was quickly affected by damp or wet weather. The result was that at one time Sciatica held me in: its clutches to such an extent that I was tortured night and day."
The speaker, Mr. John Jackson, of 2, Myrtle St., Heywood, near Manchester, has had an agonising experience of Sciatica, and in a thankful spirit he willingly related how Dr. Williams Pink Pills rescued him from a wretched existence of pain.
That was about four years ago," he continued, "The pains of Sciatica caught me first THESE WERE HIS SYMPTOMS in the lower part of the back and then ran right down my legs into my feet. Sharp, piercing pains they were, that came on like a flash, so that I could hardly move. Only with the greatest difficulty could I get on with my work. These terrible attacks would seize me without warning, anil from being in torture and the constant dread of another my face became haggard and drawn. Each attack would leave me for a time with my limbs too tender to be touched. I shudder even now when I recall that awful feeling, as though red hot wires were being run through me. At night I would be distracted with pain as I lay in bed, with sleep out of the question ; as soon asI got warm the pains began.
"I saw first one medical man and then another, but in spite of treatment I felt no relief from the Sciatica. For months I hobbled about in this pitiable state, awfully depressed and hopeless. I was eating practically no food, and lost weight steadily. My strength had become so reduced that work, was almost beyond me. Then my wife read of a case like my own in which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured the sufferer. So she got a supply of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for me, and I began to take them regularly. I did not notice much improvement at first, though my appetite improved, After a while, however, the pains grew less acute, while the attacks were not so frequent. So I continued to make progress, all the time regaining strength, until there was no doubt about it;.1 was cured of the Sciatica. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills altered my life entirely, and the best proot is that I have never had at twinge of the complaint since then."
Mra. Jackson added: "Yes, my husband was made a different man by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ; if at any time he gets run-down I obtain Dr. Williams' 'Pink Pills, for they strengthen him so."
Thousands of cured men and women speak from experience of benefits derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in cases of Anemia, General Weakness, Indigestion, Ecezema, Sciatica, Rhenmatism, Pains in the Back, St. Vitus' Dance, Neuralgia, Nervous Disorders, and Paralysis. Sold by dealers, but always ask for the genuine pills (seven words as above). An interesting illustrated pamphlet describing many cures will be sent post free on application.
Sold by all chemists and druggista at P.T. 18 the box and P.T 70 for six boxes.

His family Bible is slfll preserved, and it shows that the date of his birth was written 115 years ago. i Bnrely a few words from this remarka- 1 ble old gentleman, who has bad 115 i years of experience to draw from, would 1 be Interesting as well as profitable. A , lengthy biographical sketch is given of this remarkable old man in the Waco Times-Herald; December 4,1896. A still more pretentious biography of tills, the . oldest living man, illustrated with a dim ble column portrait, was given tho l readers of the Dallas Morning News, f dated December 11, 1896, and also the A Chlcago-Times Herald of same date.
This centenarian is an anient friend of i Pernna, Hating ued it many years.
In his good health and . extreme age, Mr. Brock says;
"After a man has lived in the world ts long as I hava, he ought to have onnd out a great many things by ex- wrience. I think I have done so. "One ot the things I have found tut to my entire satisfaction Is t£a iroper thing for ailments that art lue directly to the effects of the Umate. For US years I have vfthstood the changeable climate tUhe United States.
"I have always been a very healthy nan, but of course subject to the little .Sections whlchAre due to sudden^ ihanges in the^limate and temperature, taring my lqng life l -have known a treat many^remedies for coughs, colds tnd diarrhoea.
"As for Dr. Hartman's remedy °eruna, I hare found ft to be the 'test. If not the only, sellable remedy for these affections, ft has 'teen my standby tor many years, tnd I attrlbuterfiy good health and ' ixtreme old age to this remedy.
"It exactly meets all my Vequlre- nents. It protects me from the evil iffects of sudden changes; It keeps ms n good appetite; it gives me strength) ' - t keeps my blood In good circulation, i have come to rely upon it -almost en- lrely for ths many little things tel' vhl$h 1 need medicine.
"When epidemics of la grippe (ret wgan to make their appearance in this uttiTtVycJ was a sufferer from this dlease,
"I had several longslegeswith he grip. At first l did not know hat Peruna was a remedy for his disease. When 1 beard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, 1 Tied Peruna for la grippe and 'ound ifto be Just the thing."
In a later letter dated January 81, 1906, vlr. Brock, writes:
I am well and feeling as well as 1 lave for years. The only thing that Kilhers me is my sight. If I could tee letter I could walk all over ths farm tnd it would do me good. 1 would not >e without Peruna."
Yours truly,

This is a condition (or disease) to which doctors give many names, but which few of them really understand. It it simply weakness—a break-down, as it were, of the vital forces that sustain the system. No matter what may be its causes (for they are almost numberless), its symptoms are much the same; the more prominent being sleeplessness, sense of prostration or weariness, depression of spirits and want of energy for all the ordinary affairs of life. Now, what alone is absolutely essential in all such cases is increased vitality—vigour--
VITAL STRENGTH & ENERGY
to throw off these morbid feelings, and experience proves that as night succeeds the day this may be more certainly secured by a course of the celebrated life-reviving tonic
THERAPION No.3

THE EXPIRING LAMP OF LIFE LIGHTED UP AFRESH,
and a new existence imparted in place of what had so lately seemed worn-out, "used up," and valueless. This wonderful medicament is purely vegetable and innocuous, is agreeable to the taste —suitable for all constitutions and conditions, in either sex; and it is difficult to imagine a case of disease or derangement, whose main features are those of debility, that will not be speedily and permanently benefited by this never-failing recuperative essence, which is destined to cast into oblivion everything that had preceded it for this wide-spread and numerous class of human ailments.
THERAPION
is sold by the principal Chemists throughout the world. Price in England, 2 9 and 4/6. Purchasers should see that the word 'THERAPION' appears on British Government Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every package by order of His Majesty's Hon. Commissioners, and without which it is a forgery.
