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, 1906.
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.

But the thoughtful student of history may ask whether at any date it has been otherwise, compared with rival races; he may even include manhood and old age with youth under the same indictment. This hereditary weakness has not been recognised save by a few careful observers, because Englishmen were not matched with competitors in earnest until recent times, excepting Scotchmen, whose superiority is a proverb. The easy-going Southerner denounced the strenuous careful ways which led the hungry Scot to fortune three centuries ago, and denounces them still. He has not learned to copy nor even to tolerate conscientious devotion to hard work—that is, in the Caledonian or Oerman meaning of the term, for multitudes of Englishmen honestlf believe themselves to be model workers. Veterans who saw the beginning of serious competition in the trado of the Far East do not forget the rage of scornful disgust with which the Teutonic strangers were received. But "those laugh be<t who laugh last."
It would be not difficult, says the "Ball Mall Gazette " but impossible — for <\ni-tion'3 sake we may arid almost—to name a field in which our earlier ancestors distinguished themselves, except the field of battle. There, indeed, the very circumstances which caused—or encouraged—their "slackness" in time of peace gave them an immense advantage. But if we survey the wars with Scotland, earliest of "earnest" nations, in this point of view, significant facts appear. One can hardly name a great battle in all the long series, save Stirling and Bannockburn, where the Northerner was not defeated—and badly But in skirmishes, raids and local fighting, a rule, he appears to have had the best of it. English lads complain that the Border ballads, though they love to read them, always give the victory to the Scot; that is partly because Scots wrote them, but it would really sppih that when numbers were small and the action hurried, their countrymen gained an advan tage. That they were braver, more skilled in arms, or better equipped no one acquainted with the facts could hint. But a reason there must be. Is it that the Scotsmen, when few, brought to bear the same individual grasp and concentration which won them victory over the careless English in the struggle of trade ' JSneas Silvias wrote that his English friends, disdainful of other enemies, "feared" the Scotch.
If there be an exception to the rule that arts and industries were all introduced to this country, more or less perfected for the time, from a foreign land, to identify' it would be a long and toilsome process. Such elementary employments as spinning, weaving, pot-making were familiar at the earliest date, and it would be rash to say that no improvements had been marie before the alien artificer arrived. The embroidery of English nuns was famous before the Con quest, and Charlemagne sent for English goldsmiths - whatever those facts may be worth. But if progress could be noted, it was very slow. The genius of Wedgwood taught n.s to regard the jnanufacture of earthenware as peculiarly our own ; but in truth it had not passed the barbaric stage while Italy was producing tho majolica of Gubbio, Erance the ware of Henri II, and Rouen, until the German Ellers migrated to Buislem. We are told that the brothers came thither because they learned by accident what unequalled advantages the neigh hourhood supplied for a great manufacture and how utterly they were neglected. The use of bricks is a crucial instance. Our ancestors were perfectly familiar with* them from the first They found the southern parts of the island covered with great Ro man buildings. The ruins of Verulainium extended for a mile, a wilderness of bricks. Monks used them for the reconstruction of churches, and even the city fathers for repairing the walls. But no one thought of employing them for building houses. Though they were at hand, our forefathers persisted in building with wattled clay and thnber. Hallam could find no reference to brick earlier than the reign of Richard II., when the influx of Dutchmen or Flemings had gradually brought the people of East Anglia to see that brick houses really are convenient. And that date is still accepted.
Why were the English so slow to improve ? Not for want of natural intelligence or enterprise. We apprehend that they did not move because they were free and comfortable—by comparison with other peoples. That necessity, which is the mother of invention, did not urge them. Every man who cared to work had plenty to eat and his rent—that is, his dues— were an imperceptible burden. Famines, indeed, upset every calculation, but Thorold Rogers declared : "I know of only one distinct period of famine in the whole economical history of England in so far as contemporaneous and statistical evidence demonstrates the facts— the seven years, 1315-21." Others wore local and transitory. Chaucer lets us see by inference how comfortable was the English peasant in his time. He describes the house of a "poor widow" in the Nun Priest's tale. It -is wretched as he could conceive, but wp learn that this outcast had three cn«< a sheep, three large sows, "and no more, except a cock and seven hens. JSo when Kers l'b u man's laboiirer is at his wits* end for poveii i, he still owns "parsley and leeks and manv cabbage plants, and eke a cow and a call ami a cart-mare," two green cheeses, "a few curds and cream, an oaten cake, and two loaves oi beans and bran, baked for the children. It was then that the English people learned to l»e "slack"—to lie late a-bed and take things easy ; for all that has come and gone they are not yet convinced that earnestness is necessary. But contrast this state of things with that prevailing abroad ! There men—and women, too—had to work early and late all through their lives, especially Scotch people, ami still could scarce obtain sustenance enough to keep bod}' aval soul together. Further, they had to bear wrongs and oppressions —especially Scotch people again—of which the English knew nothing. But thus they became "earnest,'' ami the tradition is inherited.

London, Friday,
Subsequent to receiving the telegram which we published yesterday and after having gone to press we received the following from our London correspondent :—
Sir E. Grey in his speech in the House of Commons expressed the opinion that Egypt was not yet ready foi representative self-government and that the withdrawal of British influence would only re-open the door to corruption, oppression, and injustice.
Regarding Denishwai be said that, though it would be premature to revise the sentences of the prisoners at the present moment, owing to them having been passed at a time when it was necessary to make a severe example, when the present condition of feeling passes away and an act of clemency would not be misconstrued into an act of weakness, it might prove to be wise and just to revise them.
Sir E. Grey also emphasized the necessity of progress in education and its dependence upon the supply of funds.
London, August 2.
House of Commons.—In the debate on the Foreign Office vote Sir E. Grey, referring to the Denishwai incident, pointed out that he had said nothing on Tuesday precluding the possibility of the revision of the sentences. An act of clemency might be in accordance with good policy when the state of feeling necessitating a severe example had passed away. The establishment of self-government in Egypt before the people were prepared for it would result in re-opening the door to corruption and oppression.
Referring to the Hague Conference, he said that the Government was reluctant to make a disarmament proposal which would turn a friendly into a divided conference, hut if no definite results are reached they at least have prevented the subject from being dropped.
He reiterated the hope that Belgium would assume responsibility in tbe Congo, and pointed out tbe impossibility of Great. Britain acting in Macedonia without the consent cf the Powers. He said that an agreement with Russia with a view to removing causes of quarrel could be sought without reference to the internal affairs of that country.
The Nationalist and labour members challenged a further division on the report of the resolution regarding the grant to Lord Cromer which has been adopted by 229 votes to 88. (Reuter)
London, July 19.
Mr A. O. Umplougb is much to be con gratulated on his water colour drawings of Egypt and Nubia at present on exhibition at the Langham Hotel There are some twenty , pictures in all, anil each one shews a character and quality which attracts immediate attention. The danger, we think, of all exhibitions of Egyptian scenery is monotony, and this danger Mr. Lamplough has largely succeeded in avoiding, more especially in his desert scenes. His town and street scenes shew a character that mark them out for praise, though these subjects have been so frequently and so tlmrougbly dealt with that even the cunning of his bruvh cannot make us forget that we have seen them before. When he comes te treat of the desert, however, he Incomes altogether excellent, an artist in atmosphere, with a bolder sweep and a wider imagination than it is often o ir lot to meet with among Egyptian lands..qm painters. Moreover be has learnt to leave out the unnecessary, the p< tty details winch the inferior artist drags in to hide liis larger defects. In number 4, f-»r instance. "Midday heat in ! ilie desert" we have a colour scheme in blue : and yellow altogether admirable, the crisp blue <»f tlie upper sky, the gobkm yellows of the desert and tbe be J haze shimmering where sky and desert meet : no camels or pyramids, no hackneyed dragomen t ) distract the eye, and the whole is completed by an excellent sense of line, a quality as necessary as it is rare and one to which he gives full effect again in number 14, a Nubian scene, with sloping hills coming down from either side and a distant view of a bend in the Nile between which is quite a little masterpiece of bright perspective ; in fact we consider this perhaps the best piece in the collection. There is one other, however, which we cannot pass over without mention, entitled "Morning mist in the desert," a beautiful combination of mauve tints ; a foreground of desert in deep shadescut horizontally by tbe whitening mist,above which the tops of tbe palm trees shew in the distance tinged with a paler mauve by tbe morning sun. Mr. Lamplough also shews some larger paintings of fine quality, but he is in our opinion not quite so successful with these, though there is one "On the Nile near Sakkarah" of distinct i merit ; the difficulty perhaps is that the strong lights and shades of the Egyptian atmosphere tend to look exaggerated in large quantity. We certainly think that all his works are well worthy of consideration by piqture lovers at the price the artist asks, ami that some of them, ! notably those specially mentioned, are to be bad at nothing less than a bargain.
Under the heading of "Business Prospects in the Sudan," we recently reproduced a very interesting and true article lately appearing in "The Times," regarding the defects of the present military government of the Sudan, and the obstacles that are put in the way of genuine traders from doing business in the country. The writer of the article appearing in "The Times" i9 evidently one with an intimate knowledge of the Sudan, but he does not make sufficient suggestions for the amelioration of the present system of Government. In order to do this, we must go to tbe root of the subject and see who is responsible for the present line of Government, and not content ourselves by abusing those who are merely carrying out their orders.
Since the conquest of the Sudan in 1898, Lord Cromer has been absolute ruler of the country, and it has been his policy that his Agent at Khartoum, the Governor General, should merely keep the machinery of an elementary Government in motion, and give no encouragement whatever to outside enterprise from entering the Sudan. The creation of speculative companies for the Sudan cannot be too strongly condemned, but such are outside our thought, for we only refer to bona-fide traders, and those ready and even eager to take up contracts and enterprises which could be hotter done by them than by a new Government, still largely dependent on financial support from outside.
It is argued by those in authority that the Sudan being practically an uncivilized country, and in certain districts subject to native risings, it is absolutely indispensable that the Government, in order to be in a position to quell any sudden rebellion, should be for some time to come a military Government. This argument, however, is not conclusive, nor even convincing. India has been held by us for nearly 150 years. The Government is distinctly a civil government, with a commander in chief, who is responsible for the Army alone. Such should be the system adopted by the Sudan. British military officers should have their full military rights a.s soldiers, but the Civil Government should lie entirely in tbe hands of experienced civilians with a knowledge of governing covering a range beyond the mere knowledge of office routine work and signing a few letters.
At the present moment the interests of Trade and Commerce in the Sudan are entirely subordinate to the carrying on of what we have termed a very elementary military system of Government, which is entirely inadequate to cope with the big commercial questions which the majority of soldiers, by their training, are unable to understand.
It is common knowledge that from time to time various schemes benefitting the Sudan, have been submitted to the Government by those in a full position to carry out their projects, and have only been snubbed instead of receiving encouragement. And why this? In reply, many reasons, but the chief are because, firstly initiative has been checked. Lord Cromer's hands were full with Egyptian affairs, and the Sudan was to be worked with as little trouble as possible. Secondly, some of the schemes submitted by great men experienced in finance have involved a certain amount of technical knowledge in matters of finance, which unfortunately no member of the Sudan Government possess, even if bolding a position carrying with it a knowledge of finance. The financial control of the country is directed by the adviser in Egypt, and the local Financial Secretary for mere Government purposes does not require any knowledge of high finance, but merely has to supply the various departments with such funds as can be allotted to them, and to generally keep down expenses,
As, however, intendants for concessions in the Sudan are obliged to make t heir applications to the local Government in Khartoum, it is high time that positions of finance should be held only by experienced civilians, with the necessary knowledge of financial questions enabling them to grasp propositions from a financial point of view submitted to them.
The country, without beingunduly "rushed," should have a fixed progressive policy, and the Government must remember they are there to assist those wishing to develop the country. The actual routine of the Government work is only a means towards the end, and this end is the expansion and opening up of the country, which can only be effected by commerce and enterprises submitted by those in a position to do so.
To sum up, we do not in any way wish it to be thought that there is any slur on individual members of the Sudan Government, for with as much justice we might criticise a body of civilians suddenly called on to command a batch of battalions, and laugh at the ignorance displayed by them. No, it is the root of the evil we wish to drive at. The Sudan Government must be a civilian Government with the best that can be found to carry on the organization, and work hand in hand with their military colleagues who should be only responsible for what is required by an army of any other country, and the central Government must not be merely an ornamental one, but must be allowed plenty of initiative, understanding that they are there to further and encourage all enterprises for the good of the country and for the furtherance of trade and commerce.
We remind our readers that Spathis' celerated minerals are the best in Egypt. [ADVT.
There is not a deal of cleverness in being wise after the event, but one is constrained to t think that the financial condition would not t be so acute in Egypt to day, if the elementary ] principles in the economics of finance had been , borne in mind. "Trade," said Lord Overstone, I "revolves apparently in establised cycles. First < we find it in a state of quiescence, next im-provement, growing confidence, prosperity, excitement, over trading, convulsion, pressure, ( stagnation, distress, ending again in quies- ] cence." Overstone thus summarises what every , writer upon political economy endeavours to , teach.
His words are applicable to the present situation in Egypt, excepting that the crisis is , financial. The birth of credit always follows a succession of good crops, but we must consider what invariably ensues upon the enlarge- , inent of credit in a country. Banks are prepared to afford every facility to old firms by increasing their finances to cope with the continual demand for money. New firms borrow with the idea of participating in the movement, and even a man with a small capital is enabled to increase it comparatively to extraordinary proportions. Companies follow one another with rapidity to benefit from the ever increasing all-round activity. Wages rise in accordance with the competition for labour, and the desire to buy is on a parity with the inclination to pay.
The movement continues until the lender of money, who should lie the first to discover any waning sign, deems it prudent to curtail credit, when, at the same time, the demand for more loans is increasing. Distrust commences where renewals cease, and thus the rise of prices is checked. Speculators, becoming anxious, desire to cover their position, and rush into the market to sell, and the inevitable crisis follows.
Ijarge credits are absolutely necessary in a country, which has made the enormous progressive strides that Egypt has. When Europe poured in her capital, it was to assist in the agricultural and industrial development of the country. Unfortunately, the speculator availed himself of the opportunity to profit by the funds that accrued from an enormous circulation of three months paper, and large sums were thrown into the hands of the brokers to assist them in promoting, in many instances, the wildest speculation.
There is always an element of danger in developing a country upon borrowed capital, but when money intended for development is diverted into speculating channels, how unstable a position must become, and how critical for the general welfare of a country. Yet, strange to say, the class of man who aided this movement, connected with a community respected for their natural aptitude in regard to financial matters, and generally so quick to discern the probabilities of the financial market, feeling every throb of its pulse, appeared totally blind — may be, in their greed for excessive interest — to the consequences likely to ensue from their method of conducting affairs, when the most elementary treatise upon finance would have warned them of their peril.
There was never any attempt to curtail credit, even when the danger signs appeared, until Europe, without any warning — in an unwise moment, it is true—decided to do so. The lenders of capital were caught in a mesh, from which it will be difficult to extricate them, and Egypt is passing between the stagnation and distress stages. A general liquidation will be necessary Wore the quiescent is reached, and the difficulty is apparent, for every liquidation will aggravate the position. If renewals of ciedit are not agreed upon, the crisis may yet be young, and the coming of the winter season is to be regarded with anxiety.
Egypt must look forward with resignation to the termination of her malady, when many concerns, under the misnomer of private banks, will no longer be able to impede natural progress by their objectionable influences. Then the severe lesson will have had a beneficial effect, confidence will return, and Egypt will continue on her march towards prosperity.
The Shoubra English school, which closed at the end of June for the summer holidays, will open again at the beginning of October. It is reported in All Saints' Church magazine that the children have made good progress during the past year in spite of groat drawbacks through lack of suitable accommodation. The school has had to be moved three times during the past nine months, but now that it is finally housed in its own building, we hope that a long period of usefulness and influence for good lies before it. In the course of the past year marked improvement has been made in discipline, in the number of scholars and the regularity of their attendance, and in the | keenessand interest which they show in their work. Miss Johnston, of the Sanieh Training College, most kindly again examined the children. There was a big increase in the percentage of marks obtained, and this speaks well for the schoolmistresses. But, at the same time, a few faults have been found and some valuable advice given. The actual loss on the working expenses of the school for the past year amounts to L.E. 34. This is much less than was anticipated, and was mot by a grant of L.E.35 out of the profits of the Jumble Sale in I November last.
On Wednesday morning the Russian steamer , arrived from Constantinople at our port with j an Ottoman flag flying at the mast-head in honour of Youssef Pasha Franco, the newly appointed Governor General of the Lebanon. Soon after dropping anchor and taking pratique a salute of gnns was fired from the barracks , and a crowd of Lebanese hastened on board to pay their homage and tender their expressions , of welcome. A consular notability cynically remarked to me that most of those good men that were in such a hurry to welcome their new Governor had vaken part in the hostile demonstrations indulged but a few days ago against him, while the other quiet and wise set waited on the landing place. The Vali ox Beyrout received Youssef Pasha with full military honours, a battalion of the Beyrout garrison and the gendarmerie and police being drawn up in double file to present arms. The Mutessarif and Vali then drove together, preceded by a cavalry band to the Seraglio, followed by a long procession of carriages, at the head of which was that occupied by Madame Youssef Pasha and by her side the Emir Mustafa Arslan, a particular and old friend of Naoum Pasha arid family. From the Seraglio Youssef Pasha proceeded to the barracksto visit the military commandant,and thence to the private residence of Rear-Admiral Faiek Pasha. He afterwards repaired to Hotel Gas-saann, in the new palatial building of the Messrs Sabbagh Frfcres, where he was to stay for three days prior to his departure to Beit Eddin, the summer head-quarters of the Government, and his assumption of office. During his short sojourn his Excellency received the Consuls' visits and returned the same, accompained by the first dragoman Abdullah Bey Khouri. He received also the official visits of the military and civil authorities and the clerical dignitaries. Some of the Lebanese functionaries, especially the Kaimakams, were, at his request presented to him. The Italian Vice-Admiral Di Br(?cchetti and staff, as an official, also called on the new Mutessarif.
Youssef Pasha stands somewhat under the middle height, yet has a manly and full "carrnre." He wears a beard a la Henri qnatre, has a broad forehead and large dark eyes, with a kindly and sympathetic express ion. He speaks French very well, and has a deliberate manner in conversing, indicative of a cautious and well-balanced mind. After the late regime such qualities of steadiness and thoughtfulness are in special demand, to allay the excitement of anarchy and help in evolving order out of chaos. The "Temps" may therefore, be justified in its pronouncement that a better administration is expected from the new Governor.
The Italian Fleet arriving at our port, while yet the remnant of the British Fleet was lingering for the last day in our waters, tended to keep up the round of festivities with which our otherwise monotonous existence has lately been enlivened. There first arrived on the 21st instant the first class twin screw cruiser "Emmanuel Filiberto" with an armament of 34 gunsand crew of 509, which exchanged the usual salute of guns with the barracks and the British battleship "Venerable." The aide-de camp of Faiek Pasha and the Vice Consul of Italy then went on board to pay the official 1 call to the Commander. On the same day at 5.30 p.m. and early in the following morning, arrived from Smyrna also the complement of 1 the Fleet under the command of Vice-Admiral ' Di Brocchetti, consisting of the "Regina Margherita," flagship, first class battleship 14270 tons displacement, 40 guns, 860 men ; 11 "Giuseppe Garibaldi" 2nd class twin screw | cruiser, 7500 tons displacement, 37 guns, 520 < men ; "Saint Bon," 1st class battleship, 9800 ( tons displacement. 42 guns, 543 men: the name 1 is commemorative of the Admiral of French origin who settled in Italy and rose tonaval eminence, and fought the battle of Lissa in the Adriatic with the Austrian Admiral Tegetoff ; "Agordat" despatch boat, 1,200 tons displacement, 12 guns, 179 men. "Ferrucio" 2nd class twin screw cruiser 7,350 tons displacement 37 I guns 508 crew. "Benedetti Brin," 1st class battleship, 13,400 tons displacement. 42 guns 827 men.' !
On the 22nd inst., the British warships having left, the Italian flagship came into the harbour to take tbe berth of the "Venerable." The usual exchange of salute guns and official visits was gone through. On Tuesday evening the Italian Colony entertained their naval visitors to a dance and garden party at tbe I spacious and well-known grounds of the Circolo Ginnastico Italiano, and the function proved a brilliant success, and reflected credit on the taste and generosity of feeling of the Italian Consul and Colony. Spacious pavilions were fixed up and tarpaulins were spread on the vast level lawn for dancing. A profusion of lights, most artistically disposed, turned night I into day. Refreshments of the choicest kinds and a rich buffet were served to a large crowd, which comprised the Consular Corps, the Vali of Bey rout and other civil and military offi cials, some of the notables of Beyrout as well as the Admiral and Staff and officers of the Fleet. The Italian Consul General Signor di i Motta, made a speech of welcome and thanks i on behalf of the colony and the naval visitors, > for the kind attendance of the guests, • and the Vali replied with a toast and cheers i I which were enthusiastically echoed.
On the 24th instant the brass band of the "Giuseppe Garibaldi" gave a concert between
5 and 9 p.m. the Italian Colony and their friends at' reunion though rather informal wae none the less a success. The programme was select and the airs were played with a skill and feeling worthy of the Italian's musical reputation The meeting was wound up with a quadrille danced on the uncovered ground and "a la belle £toile".
On the 25tb an "At Home" was held by the Vice-Admiral on board tbe Flagship to which the invited.
Italian Colony and others were invited.

To the Editor or Tire Egyptian Gazette.
Sir,—It is hard to say from whence emanated your letter signed "Imperialist" so freely commented on by tlie 'Egyptian Standard' and reproduced 'in toto' by the "African World" but one point which has struck me is the virulence of the remarks of the "Standard" on the subject Happily for the press in Egypt the "Standard" editors are not press censors otherwise we should stand a.very poor chance of ever getting any news. I see no harm in being an Imperialist, Imperialism was tbe watchword of the greatest nations which have preceded the British race and is even to-day i the war cry of the newest addition of the leading nations, to wit Germany. A lusty nation confined within its borders with civilization, a glorious record in the past, and an ever increasing population must spread ; nowadays such a nation spreads commercially, but if trade follows the flag it is evident that the flag goes first and with the flag armed men and force. 1 do not see that 'Imperialist' incited an appeal to arms, or incitement to rebellion; as for preaching sedition it is ridiculous and the heading of "'rreason" was more treasonable to those individuals who made use of such an inflammatory headline than to the writer of a simply logical letter, the source of which was probably well known to you before publication.
As to the question in the House on the subject I have not yet seen this reported by any reputable Press Agency but it is certainly a fact that if such a question was put to Sir E.

In apologising for imposing onyom* valuable space I would like to conclude by remarking that tbe distortion of everything appearing in i the home and Egyptian Press by the "Standard" i is so damaging to that paper, so much so that ' happily few take the trouble to worry them-( selves about it. It is unfortunate however that . | all these distorted ideas should be translated into the vernacular which in itself constitutes sedition.
Yours faithfully, "Interested.

The news that a Convention has been signed between Japan and Korea by which the former Power practically takes over the whole of the administration of Corea comes by no means as a surprise. It was the logi cal sequence of the late war, and if Russia had been victorious the Tsars Government would have acted in precisely the same manner as Japan has now. Certainly the terms of the Convention can leave no doubt in the minds of anyone that as a national factor in the Far East, Korea has ceased to exist. As evidence of this Korea will henceforth be governed by a Japanese Resi dent-General who is endowed with the fullest powers conceivable. Indeed, no dictator could have asked for greater freedom of administrative action. According to reports from Tok io, owing to a dearth of competent Japanese officials the control of the vari ous Korean Departments of State will be effected gradually. The control of the Army, however, passes at once into Japanese hands. It is a good omen for the future that the Japanese have at once set to work to reorganise the Courts of Justice. Nothing shows more clearly the incompetence of Korea to pose as an independent State than the celerity and ease with which Japan has effected her purpose. The annexation of Korea has always been part of her Eastern policy, and as we firmly believe that Japanese rule makes for peace and contentment, we see little cause to take exception to her action. After all, our occupation of Egypt is a very analogous case. As there are people,so there are nations, who need a strong hand to lead them in the way. Korea is a case in point, and we believe that before many years have passed she will realise the full advantages of her position. ("The Globe.")

A strange story of a glass vessel of beautiful workmanship and supposed great antiquity, discovered near Glastonbury Abbey, is told in the "Daily Express."
The discovery was made by the sister of Mr. Wellesley Tudor Pole, of Bristol, and two other ladies, as the result of a suggestion by Mr. Tudor Pole that they should go and search in a place which he had seen either in his mind's eye or in what seems to have been a "waking dream." One of the strangest features concerning it is that it was placed in the spot near Glastonbury nearly nine years ago by Dr. Qoodchild, of Bath a man of much ahtiqiiarian knowledge, also as the result of what is described as a "trance," and Dr.- GooHchild entertains the belief, consequent upon his stratlge experiences, that it ia the cup which the Saviour used at the Last Supper, and which, according to the Glastonbury legend, was brought to Britain after the Crucifixion.
Mr. Tudor Pole communicated his story to an eminent dignitary of the Church ofEnglahd in London, and at this gentleman's request attended a meeting at the house of the dignitary in London on Saturday last, and narrated all the circumstances concerning the discovery. The meeting was* of a notable character. It consisted of about fifty persons, including ministers of various religions, scientists, antiquaries, peers and peeresses.
Mr. Tudor Pole told the gathering that at the beginning of the year 1902 he "received an impression" that near Glastonbury Abbey a relic of a holy nature lay buried. As time passed this mental impression grew stronger. It recurred again and again by day and by night. In September last the sensation reached a climax.
He said that while he was sitting in his office, in the midst of the most prosaic surroundings, he experienced what can only be described as a "waking dream " He saw, either in a "dream" or so clearly with his mind's eye that it seemed a "vision," a spot which he remembered well—a small rivulet and a pond on some farm land known as Bride's Hill, about half a mile from Glastonbury Abbey. In the shallow well, or spring, which is the source of the rivulet, he saw hurried a small vessel.
The Ladles' Discovery.
Being unable to spare time from his business to go to Glastonbury, Mr. Tudor Pole sent his sister and two other ladies, one of whom is a "clairvoyante" to the spot. Turning over the mud in the well the ladies found, among other things, the mysterious glass vessel. It was covered with a broken slab of stone, which had apparently protected it from injury. It was then, as now, in a state of perfect preservation.
Mr. Pole's sister and the other ladies described to Dr. Goodchiid the glass "cup" which th^y had found, and Dr. Goodchild at once recognised it as one which he hirtiself bad placed in the well in the year 1898, or eight years before.
Dr. Goodchild then invited Mr. Tudor Pole over to Bath to see him, and told him-the circumstances in which he placed the vessel in the well at Glastonbury. In 1885, while he was at Bordighera, a friend of his told him of a curious glass vessel which was in the little shopof a local tailor. Dr. Goodchiid went and saw it, was surprised to find that it was apparently a rarity, and bought it for £6.
While he wai staying at the Hfitel St. P6tersbourg, in Paris, in 1896, he states that he fell into a trance ; that a figure appeared before him and told him that he was in great danger; that the cup which he found at Bordighera was the "Cup of Our Lord" used at the Last Supper ; that when his father died he must take it to the "women's qnarter" at Glastonbury; that subsequently a woman would arise and prophesy; and that the cup would be brought forth within ten years, and "would be a means of moulding Christian thought."
Brought the Cup to England.
In the following year Dr. Goodchild returned with it to England, went to Glastonbury, discovered the ancient "women's quarter," and, on the instructions of "clairau-diant voices," deposited the cup in the shallow well or spring. Dr Goodchild states most emphatically that the only person to whom he ever mentioned the placing of the cup in the well was the late William Sharp.
Mr. Pole suggests the theory that when the traditional Glastonbury cup disappeared from history, it may have been sent in charge of a monk to Rome for safety, that the monk may have died at Bordighera on his way, and that the cup may have remained hidden at Bordighera until some time before Dr. Goodchild found it there. 'There is, he admits, no proof as yet that anything of the kind happened. But he is quite convinced that the vessel is a holy relic of some kind.

There haw be&i o&t$8 who, before making an important speech, were wont to seek inspiration from a perusal of the pages of Johnson's Dictionary. The reviewer, with this precedent before him, may, therefore, safely commit this well-translated version of Professor Adolph Erman's Handbook to those who seek sermons in Egyptian stones, and good in everything pertaining to the ritualistic superstitions of the past An attempt to epitomise in a few liues this book, which compresses into some 250 pages a history df Egyptian religion extending over 3,000 years, is like trying to gather the botanical characteristics of a country from the windows of an express train. It is the more difficult from the fact that the religion of the Egyptian was, like their own marvellous valley, ever receiving from an overflowing river, of superstition, fresh deposits tb mingle with the old and render distinction of the various strata impossible. Funeral customs, the characteristic feature of Egyptian religion, were complicated eriough during what is known as the "old Kingdom," but by the time the "middle Kingdbm" is teached, Death, both for the survivors and the poor departed sou), must have been indeed a wearisome event, whilst to be born dead must have involved a nervous strain a trifle trying , to an infant soul. For from the moment when ethics made their appearance in the Egyptian myth, and it was no longer the powertul and distinguished, but the upright and sinless, who were to triumph after death, the tribunal of Osiris was, for the aspirant to heavenly joys, no sinecure. Not only must the heart be weighed in the balance by Horus and Anubis to prove whether it be lighter than truth. That was a mere trifle in the anxieties to be endured, and was but the preliminary to long speeches of justification due to the forty-two judges of the forty-two provinces, who each had to hear the recital of forty-two sins that had not been committed by the suppliant But though there was doubtless some difficulty in finding forty-two sins that had not been committed, sympathetic readers will be consoled to know that the soul was greatly aided in its search for justification if it could acknowledge that he or she had heaTd "that word which the ass spake with the cat," for that was considered a sure proof that he or she had been a faithful servant of Osiris and had taken part in the feasts and ceremonies.
But though Osiris presided over the tribu uals of the dead, it was the goddess Isis, his faithful wife and the devoted mother of their son Horus, who, by contributing the human element of family virtue, maintained the homage of the living through the growing centuries. In critical Greece, in cultured Rome and even in the Christian Church of St. Ursula at Cologne, where a small statue of the unconquered Isis was in the Middle Ages adapted for one of the capitals of the pillars, the "eternal feminine" held sway. That this religion, which absorbed the lives and thoughts of so many millions of intelligent human beings should itself finally have been found lacking in the Osiris-scales of truth will incline the reader to agree with the Professor when he says, "It is not without sympathy that we acknowledge the fulfilment of the mournful prophecy.... that a time will come when it will appear as though i it were for naught that the Egyptians piously and sedulously worshipped the Godhead .... for the Godhead will return from earth to ' heaven, and Egypt will be left desolate, and ' the land, which was the abode of religion, will 1 no longer shelter the gods. . . 0 Egypt ' 1 Egypt! of thy religion only fables will survive, which will appear incredible to later races, and words only will remain upon the stones which * record thy pious deeds " As a descriptive and well-illustrated catalogue of these pious deeds, ' and of the beliefs and customs attending the ' rise, growth, and dispersion of the original cult of the great Isis, this book should be of value I to all who love Egypt—and museums.

In "Scarlet Azalenas" (T. Fisher Unwin), Mr. H. De Vere Stacpoole ha? given us a captivating stoiy in a pretty Japanese setting. The hero is a character who attracts as much by his faults as by his qualities of the heart. Difek LeslieWs spent an unhappy existence as a "remittance man" in /Australia, and when, on the death ofhis austere'father, he comes into a shbstlintiAl fortune, he seeks to wipe out the memory of the past amid more peaceful conditions in Jhpah. His interest centres in a pretty Japahese girl, whom, havihg found wandering "drithe roads to Nikko," he had adopted and edtichted. Camj^rinla grows into a charming young woman, and makes herself invaluable as director of Leslie's household. But the past is not to be bnried.1 Ond day there comes to the "Hduse of the Clouds" a Enropean visitor, Jane Du Telle, who might have become Leslie's wife years before but for parental opposition. Instead, she is married to a mdTchant who has no soul above wool. The passion of byegone days returns to Leslie intensified by the intervening years of loneliness, and there follows a fierce inward fight between the tertrptAtion to elope with the object of his affection, and the feeling which impels him to cbndfder thti rights of the husband. Love in this'Oase is'stronger thAri righty and he is only sAVOd from hiS purpose by the repentance of Jane,''who, after1 hhvlfig' agreed to go away with him, returns instead to her husband. Campanula is in love with Leslie, and learns with despair of his iritgfitlonft regarding the Englishwoman. We could have wished for a happier ending to the story, but it only remains to be said that the cbaVaeters irb skilfully drawn, and the author has shown himself to be possessed of a keen insight into human charadter.

A'ous aurions bien voulu avoir uneamlliora tion ou un commencement de changeinent pour ' le mieux A signaler, mais malheureusement la 1 rhosg n'est nullement possible. Que la situa- 1 tiun ait empiric, ce n'est pas le cas ; mais, ' en somme, la crise financilre est toujoure au mime point et tant que l'horizon ne s'est pas lclairci de ce cdtl-lA, les illusions ne sont pas 1 permises. II faut de Fargent pour recommencer 1 les affaires et, comme nous l'avons dljA dit ! il y a huit jours, cet argent ne saurait com-niencer A nous rentrer qu'avec l'arrivle du produit de la nouvelle rlcolte qui, sans mettre 1 tin d'nne fa<;on definitive A Fltat des choses dont nous souffrons, n'en constituera pas moins un soulagement riel pour la place.
Fort heureusement, il n'y a pas beaucoup A attendre et deux mois sont vite passes.
f'ertes, le prlambule qui pilclde n'est ' gudre brillant, mais y a-t-il moyen de con-tester les faits I Et comme le mal est dljA fait et le plus mauvais est dejk vu, il n'y a qu A en prendre son parti et patienter. ( Nous ne retoiirnerons sftrement pas desitOt A Fltat oh nous nous tronvions avant la crise, mais, enfin, une amelioration partielle < pst toujoure bonne et> comme dit. plus haut, mi pent legitimement esplrer de la voir/ se pro<iuire en Octobre prochain.
Il est vrai que pour ce qui concerne le 1 marchl cotonnier en particulier la situation 1 mluelle et le marasine qui rlgne ne san- 1 raient se prolonger sans amener la baisse, et un avant-goilt de cette Iventualitl nous l'avons dljA eu cette semaine ; mais qu'im jMirte la baisse quand elie ne peut pins j slrieusement nuire A la speculation et qu'au j fond elle ne ferait qu'assainir la situation ( en nous prlparant on terrain favorable pour ( Favenir ? <
Mais treve de reflexions sur un terrain j aussi glissant et qui pourraient nous mener trop loin et parions du marchl. (
Comme debut, la premiere stance a Ite < satisfaisante, A cause du maintien des cours, < comme Font. Itl aussi, si non suffisamment, 1 du moins relativement, les deux qui lui ont fait suite. Il est vrai que les prix de Mardi . reprlsentaient un recul de 1,16, mais dans < l etat d'inaction presque absolne dans lequel 1 nous nous trouvons une pareille fraction peut-cllc compter pour quelque chose ? I
Seulemenb cette quasi fermetl n'a pas pu se < uiaintenir dans la matinle de Mercredi quand le marchl s'est trouvl en face de vendeurs i s/rieux et pour des quantitls plutAt importan j tes. Rlsultat de la journle 7/32 de baisse. Test encore la seule journle qui nous ait offert i un pen d'activitl. <
Hier et aujourd'hui, la tenue a Itl quelque peu meilleure A cause de FAmlrique qui n'a cessl de nous venir en hausse mais comine rlsultat dlfinitif pour les deux jours ce n'est ' qii'une reprise de 1/32 sur le minimum pratique, que nous avons A enregistrer.
Tello a Itl Fodyssle du Novembre. Quant A 1'Aoftt, il n'a guere faitparler de lui, n'agugre Hnctuv et cloture A 20 1/4 nominal, ce qui fait qn'il a perdu 1/8 depuis vendredi dernier, tandis (pie la baisse du Novembre a Itl de 1/4 <te fallsri.—
Du c6tl de la filature, il n'y a rien d'alle-chant A signaler : 1'abstention est toujoure complete pour ce <jui concerne la nouvelle recoltc, ce qur s'explique d'ailleure par les jjerspe (dives qu'cZo nous ufire aetuellement. Nous r 'viendrons sur ce point.
Pov.r ce qui est de 1'ancienne, on y opAre de tern| s a autre, mais tout naturellement potfr de pel lies quantitls. D'ailleure, il n'en saurait Itre anirement, car plus ou moins les exporta-teurs < nt dljA engagl leur stock et sur le inarchl il n'y a presque plus rien A la vente pour pouvoir combiner Iventuellement des affain s de quelque importance.
Ceci nous anPne .tout naturellement a dire quelques mots de la statistique de notre place Un relevl officieux du stock a Itl fait an 31 Juillet etie rlsnltat est que la Produce Association devra corriger ses chiftres en ajou taut 90,000 cantars aux recettes. Cost A pen pres la qiiantitl que nous avons nous-memes prlconisle. Malgrl cette augmentation, pour tant, le stock A fin Aoftt ne sera pas plus grand que Fannie demilre, avec cette diflv rence qn'il est engagl A i'ltranger et que des erobarquemente de Septembre Fabsorberont an .pins tot. Quel dommage qu'une eatnpagne ansri propice pour la consommation de l'Egyp tien ait laissl des rlsultats aussi pm favora Lies A la place.
Nous avons fait allusion phis haul A iHat florissant de la rlcolte sur pied o» |r rlsuml de l'Alexandria General Pr*since Association, que nos lecteure trouveront phis loin, Iriir en dit long sur ce sujet. Seuleu ent, il est A noter que glnlralement, pour ne pa* dire in variablemen t, les apparences sont tou-jours splendides A la fin Juillet et que les sur prises dlsagrlables lie nous viennent rlellement qn'en Septembre. En attendant, pour le moment, la chaleur fait progresser la plante et cela est toujoure un bon cOtl.
l^es nouvelles d'Ammque ne sont nullement claires. Les fluctuations y sont rapides et sou-daines et se succldent A 24 ou 48 heures d'in-tervalle, ce qui fait que cet Itat des choses est fait prlcislment pour dlrouter tout le monde. Heureusement que le rapport du Bureau d'Agriculture de Washington doit paraltre ce soir ou demain, et il faut esplrer que pour cette fois il sera tel qu'il pourra fixer le monde cotonnier sur la veritable situation de la re-volte et dormer une idle de ce que Fon peut en esplrer.

Les exportations de la huitaiue ont constitul une suqirise des plus agrlables pour notre place avec leur total de 8400 Bailes, dlpassant de pris de 20 % les provisions les plus opti-mistes. L'annle dernifcre, le chiffre pour la semaine correspondante Itait de 5600 Bailes.
Pour la semaine prochaine on prlvoit aussi de tons embarqtiements, mais pas dans les memes proportions que cettesemaine. En tons cas, nous serons au dessus des 4500 Bailes de Fannie dernilre.
Liverpool a encore Itl pour cette semaine assez favorable aux Igypticns disponibles en tant que ventes, mais sous le rapport des prix, le disponible n'a pas bougl du niveau de 1013/16.

En effet, le Spot adOtnrl 7.26, soit 10 points d'amll iorat ion, tandis que les livrables sont cotls ce soir A 676 pour FAoOt-Septeinbre et 651 pour le Janvier-Flvrier, ce qui fait respec-tivement 9 et 5 points de hansse.

Ce sont les contrats seuls qui enontltlla cause et qui ont fait fllchir le prix de FAoftt A P.T. 82-82 1/2.
Ija speculation ne trouve plus de marche devant elle et la moindre r/alisation venant de sa part influence la tendance dans le mauvais sens bien entendn.

Bien que le marchl n'aitpas prlsentd lundi la mime animation qu'& la cldture de la se-maine prdcldente et que pour les valeurs dlri-geantes en particulier la cote ait Itl mo^ns soutenue, on avait glndralement fintuition que la tendance Itait bonne. Il y avait des acbeteure en assez grand nombre, tandis que les vendeurs s'ltaient pour la pin part Iclipsls Cet Itat de choses que nous signaliona d^ns notre bulletin du jour trouvait dis le lende-main sa consecration dans une hausse prfcs-que glnlrale, et tris appreciable but certains titres. Les affaires, sans avoir Fenvergure des mois d'hiver, etaient nombreuses et relative ment importantes, sil'on prend en consideration que nous sommes en pleirie saisorf toorte. On n'etait pas d'accord, d'ailleure, sur les motifs de Famllioration : les uns n'y voyaiept que Fattrait exercl sur l'lpargne par les bas prix atteints, d'autres Fattribuaient aux ra-chats du dlcouvert, d'autres enfin^ une cam pagne de hausse. Ces bonnes dispositions s'accentnlrent le mercredi oil beaucoup de titres furent achetls a de bona prix et oil les vendeurs se tenaient plus que jamais sur la reserve. II est vrai qu'un peu plus tard cetfe ardeur fit place au calme et qtie la cote suMt une depression glnlrale, mais cela ne fut qi|e momentanl et la cloture etit lieu ce mOnje jour ferine et en hausse. Sans prlciser exaote-ment la date de la reaction, ce qui etlt etl ( impossible, nous dimes ce jouHi qu'un reoil aurait probablement lieu au commencement du mois d'aotit. Ce ne fut pas le cas hieV, ; car le mouvement de hausse, inaugurl depuis quelques joure, ne fit que s'accentuer. Il jy ( avait toutefois dans l'excitation de la corbeille ( quelque chose de fact ice qui faisait prl^oir mi revirement dans la tendance. Nun seule-ment les transactions s'ltaient ralenties, mais ( la cote avait etl Fobjet de manoeuvres eh ; cloture de la part des haussiere. Aussi nds prlvisions n'ont-elles pas tardl a se rlaliser et la reaction que nous avions fixee pour les premieres stances du mois courant s'est j produite ce matin, 2 Aoftt. Toute la coth < a debate en baisse sensible, devant la dispari- < tion subite des acheteurs et ('insistence deh ( vendeurs. Un peu plus tard, cependant, lek ( choses se sont arrangles graduellement et la j cloture a fini par avoir lieu peu au-dessous du i niveau de la veille. Il n'en raste pas moins ; acquis que la situation n'est pas consoliiHe et < que notre corbeille oblit aux moindras in^pub ' sions qui lui viennent soit du dehors soit deli < haute finance locale. Quant aui affaires, ellei ont ete beaucoup moindres que les jours prl* ] cedents. ]
Le rlsultat des fluctuations de la semaine -se rlsume ainsi: sur une soixantaine de valeurs officiellement cottes i la bourse d'Alexandrie, 28 sont en hausse, 6 seulement en baisse et le.s autres demenrent stationnaires. Les fluctuations las plus reniarquables sont une avance de 7/16 sur la National Bank i 19 7/8; de lOfrl sur las Dividendes Tramways d'Alexandrie a 290, de 7/8 sur l'Alexandria Water 5 111 2,de 9 fr. sur la Cassa di Sconto a 34, de 1 livre sur la part de fondateur Comptoir 5 3, de 3/8 sur la Buililing Lands a 2 7/16, et de 1/2 livre sur la part de fondateur United a 2 1/4. Las Nungovich Hotels perdent 1 livre 5 13. La Daira Sanieh s'inscrit a 12 7/8 ex-coupon, centre 13 7/8 vendredi dernier. En baisse Igale-inentles Jouissancas Eaux du Cajre de 185 5 182, la Behlra de 20 1/4 20, las Sucreries de
40 a 35, FAboukir de 32 a 29. L'Agricole s'avance, au contraire, de 7 7/8 5 8 1/16, la Delta Light de 9 3/4 5 9 7/8, les Privillgiles Train ways de 136 a 137 1/2, las Markets de 26/3 A 27/6, la Salt and Soda de 17,3 5 17/6, FObligation Credit Foncier de 301 a 304 Fan-cienneet de 261 a 262 la nouvelle, la Banque d'AthAnes de 107 a lll,la Delta Land de 1 7/16 a 1 H/16, FOrdinary Khedivial Mail de 20/9 a 22, Fin vestment de 7/16 a 1/2, la Land Bank de 6 13/16 A 7, les Estates de 1/2 A 5/8, le Comptoir de 2 3/8 a 2 11/16 Faction ancienne et de 2 5/16 a 2 5/8 la nouvelle, l'Union Foil-cilre de 4 1/2 a 4 9/16, la Banque d'Orient de 114 1/2 A 116, l'AUotment de 1 7/8 4 2 1/8, les Ritz Hotels de 1/2 A 11/16, laLeyico de 1/4 k 7/16 et la Zariffa de 3 A 3 1/8. Sur le reste de la cote il n'y a pas de changements A signaler.
La hausse de la Building Lands provient de a proposition du conseil d'administration d'af-fecter au rachat des actions aetuellement de-prlciles le montant de la reserve, les benefices reportls A nouveau de 1906 et les blnefices devant rlsulter des rachats effectuls. Le capital se compose aetuellement de 104.500 actions de £ 4, dont 67,000 ont ete Imises avec une prime de £ 1. Il s'agirait de racheter au-dessous du pair unc quantity de 12 A 13000 actions.
Ce qui prouve que toute activity transac-tionnelle en mature de terrains ruraux n'a pas disparu en ce temps de crise financilre, e'est ('acquisition rlcemment faite par une sociltl Mge au capital de 16 millions de franca Cette societl a achetl de la Daira Dranet Pacha et de Mrs. Zervudachi une magnifique propriety de 9593 feddans, situle dans le voisinag^ de Kafr-Dawar, pour le prix de 907.201 L.E. Le prix par feddan revient ainsi A 94 L.E. 569 mill. La proprilte contient un vaste inarchl, • une usine d'lgrenage et d'autres constructions A el Ackrisha, ainsi que des pompes ellvatoi-res, des charrues i vapeur et le blteil nlces-saire. Ont pris part A la constitution de la Socilte Agricole de Kafr Dawar, les sociltls suivantes: Socilte Agricole et Industrielle d'Egypte, Compagnie Immobili re d'Egypte, Compagnie Agricole du Nil, Egyptian Enter prise and Development Company, et Ghar-bieh Land Company. Cinq villages existent dans cette vaste propriety: Zinoani Bardallah, Wastanieh, Ackricha, Garragha et Boulin.
Comme nows Favors dit A plusieurs reprises, le marchl de Londres, a'il n'a pas occa-siunnl k haussl, y a cdfitribu4 pAP' 14 koutien des valeurs Igyptiennes. C'est ainsi que VAgri-cole gagne 1/8 A 8 1/8, la National Bank 3,8 A 19 3/4 et la Delta Light 1/8 A 10. La Daira cote 13 ex-coupon contre 13 3/4 vgn-dredi passl. En ce qui concerne le taux d'escompte et le Consolidl, il n'y a paa lieu d'etre aussi satisfait Tandis qqe le taux privl hausse de 1/8 A 3 3/4, le Conwlidl perd 1/2 livre 82 7/8. Quant A la proportion de la reserve aux. engagements de la Banque d'Au-gleterre, elle ne difflre qne de 1/4 % de celle de la semaine dernilre: elle est de 46 7/8 contre 47 1/8 % vendredi passl.
A Paris, le Crldit Foncier perd 5 fr. A 685, tandis que la Land Bank blnlficie de 11 fr. A 184 et le Crldit Franco-Egyptien de 2 fr. 50 A 105.50. La Rente Fmn^aise perd 3 pointe A 95.07 etl'Unifile 1 fr. 10 A 103.50.
11 rlsulte de ces chiffres que les valeurs Igyptienpes sont en glulral tr£s soutenues sur les marches europlens, mais que Fargent tend plntdt A renchirir. Nous allons voir tout A l'heure que ce dernier point a son importance.
En effet, il est essentiel pour Favenir du inarchl que le taux d'intlrlt ne s'lllve pas, et dans oe but il est indispensable que la Banque d'Angleterre maintienne ou mgme augmente la proportion de sa reserve.. Pour eehfiften' des conditions sont requise^ qu'il «era difficile d'obtenir. En premier lieu les banques anglaises doivent s'opposer A l'exportation exa-glrle de For eii Amlrique. Sur ce point le gouvernement de Washington a proinis de fournir aux banques amlricaines les sommes nleessaires A la n/gociation de la rlcolte, A la condition que Wall Street se maintienne dans de juste# limitesde speculation pendant les deux mois qui vont suivre. Bien qu'elle soit subordonnle A une condition difficile A remplir, la promesse du gouvernement amlricain n'en est pas moins rassurante. Pour se rend re compte combien il est important que tout For ne sort pas en un pareil moment absorbl par les Etate-Unis, ilsuffit de se rappeler que dans deux mois FEgypte aura besoin de fortes sommes pour sa rlcolte cotonnilre. 11 est vrai qne les banques locales ont d4jA, pris, oh Fassure du moins, les mesures que commando la situation ; mais un drainage de For par FAmlrique pourrait entraver ces mesures et compliquer la situation financilre Igyptieone qui est'dljA passablement embrouillle. En admettent que For ne fit pas dlfaut, letaux d'intlr^t en tous cas ne manquerait pas d'etre augments dans des proportions inqniltantes. Qui nesesouvient que dljA Fannie passle les banques locales demandaient A un moment donnl 8 1/2 % et qnelqiies-unes jusqu'k 10 Il faut done souhaiter que rien ne vienne plus compliquer la situation. L'arrangement sur lequel on comptait entre Manchester et les maisons du Caire qui ont dft deposer leure bilans n'a malheureusement pas abouti jusqu'a prlsent. D'autres demandes de concordats prl-ventifs ont Itl prlsentles aux tribunaux tant au Caire qu'A Alexandrie et dans le nombre figurent des firmes tris importantes. On ne sait pas, hllas ' oh s'arr^tera cette dlbAcle. Aussi n'est-ce pas sans une certaine surprise, mllle d'espoir, que beaucoup ont assistl A la reprise du marchl. Une accentuation prondn-cle de la hausse pourrait en effet sauver bien du monde.
Mais si tel ne doit pas Itre le cas, pourquoi se*"faTre des illusions ? Ne vaut-il pas mieux proclder graduellement et shrementque de se prlcipiter an risque de tout perdre. C'est aux partisans du rltoblissement du marchl A terme que nous nous adressons ioi. Sans doute nous ne prltendons pas nier qu'un tel marchl n'ait son utilitl; au contraire, il fournit on appoint nlcessaire A la speculation en modlrant la hausse aussi bien que la baisse. Mais puisque le marchl A tenne qui rend de si prlcieux services lorequ'il est bien organise a 4t4 ici la cause principale de la ruine actuelle, c'est qu'il est dlfectueux et qu'il a besoin d'etre soigneu-sement rlglementl. Avant done de songer A le rltablir, qu'on le revise minutiensement et qu'on le soumette A un contrdle, afin de} prlvenir de nouveaux abuset une dlbAcle5 pire, Bi possible, que celle dont nous avons nagulre lt4 les tlmoins.

Catarrh of the Kidneys An Insidious Disease.
Many People Have it in Slight Form and Do Not Know
It.
Mr. Iimc RoMnzreig, 9 Dumarat. '
> atToet, Montreal. Can., writes:
Isaac Roaenzreig, 9 Duuiarsis street, Montreal, Can., writes : uAbout three years ago, I suffered ' with a bad cold. It settled in the bLtdder end kidneys, causing serious trouble.
"I tried several advertised remedies, built was Peruns which finally cured me, and I had taken only a fewbottles.
<fI feel that It saved me, and It certainly restored me to such perfect heslth tL8 I had not kno^nx in yeap.
UI have good reason to give your remedy my highest endorsement. It' cleaned out the system, leaving me well and strong and feeling better than I have in years."
CATARRH of the kidneys is a very much neglected
disease.
It Is toot until the disease has a firm hold upon the kidneys that the patient begins to realize'that there is some derangement of these organs.
The slight backaches, the feel^nga of lassitude, and other warning symptoms of kidney disease are overlooked.
They are not serious enough to detain the patient from his regular work.
Even when be discovers that
INTERNAL CATARRH
REACHES THE KIDNEYS- the kidneys are
» 1 affected, he does not recognize the difficulty as being cansld by catarrh.
CaUrrhois sometimes so very gradual in lta approach and its earlier symptoms cause such slight discomfort that it is not noticed.
However, when it is once firmly seated in the kidneys it becomes a difficult disease to exterminate.
Indeed, catarrh of the kidneys is more serious than catarrh affecting some of the other organs of the body.
In the kidneys it is liable to terminate in Bright's Disease or diabetes, both of which are recognized as very serious ailments, if not fatal.
The thing to be done, when catarrh of the kidneys is discovered, is to take some internal, systemic catarrh remedy, one that reaches the very source of the catarrh and removes the cause of the difficulty.
Buch a remedy has been found in Ferunk. It reaches catarrh, no matter

CATARRH REMEDY. |ST
Vir.ri nose and throat, Ipe-HU-MI «IKTtMAll or whether in the remotest part of the kidneys.
That Peruna is at onoe the safest and most reliable remedy for catarrlrof the kidneys is provon by the many testimonials written by those who have experienced its benefits.
The testimonials given here are only specimens of the many testimonials on onr records, pertaining to the relief afforded by Peruna in severe cases of kidney trouble.
Kidney Disease of Longstanding
Mr. Samuel A. Paxton, 1118 Troost Ave., Kansas City, Mo., member 1.0.0. F., and National Annuity Association, writes: am a well man to-
day, thanks to Pernna. I was troubled < with catarrh and k idney disease of long standing when I first began naxog Peruna." ' \

Au debut nos grandes yaleurs ont bien quelque peu chi pour se mettre en harmonie avec les cours pratiques en Europe, maie de nouveaux acheteurs se pr^sentant elles ont clAtur^ h peu pr£s invarifes.
11 est a retenir surtout que pour la premiere fois depuis assez longtemps l'animation s'est portae sur les valeurs purement locales qui ont ainplement b^neficiede ce retour de favour. De nombreux acheteurs n'ont pu trouver les quantity qu'ils demandaient ; aussi les plus values enregistrdes en cldture ont-elles plus s^rieuses qu'h l'ordinaire.
La tendance reste favorable.

Nous extrayons du rapport du conseil d'ad-ininistration de la Soci^ Anonyme des Grands Garages d'Egypte, les rfcnseignements sui-vants :
" Il y a lieu de rappeler que le premier exercice de la Soci^t6 n'a compris que onze mois et a & surtout une plriode d'organisation. Les locaux 4taient insuffisants et mal arn^nages ; aussi la Soci£t£ a-t-elle fait I'acqui-sition d'un terrain de 1,500 m.c. A unprix tr£s avantageux, sur lequel elle a fait construire 14 time nt r^pondant & tous les besoins d'un garage. Malgr^ les difficulty s^rieuses d'exploitation, les ryultats de l'exercice ont tr£s satisfaisants.
Les Woffices nets pour le garage du Caire pour l'exercice clos le 31 Mars 1907, s'llfevent A L.E. 3,100.678 m/m. Mais Sexploitation a Alexandrie ayant laiss£ une perte de L. E. 1,540,996 m/m., le bdn^fice net se solde par L.E. 1,619,682 m/m. que le conseil a propose de r^partir comme suit : 1*. Conform&nent aux statute, 5 % & la reserve, soit L Eg. 80.984 m/m.; 2°. Un dividende de P. T. 7 par action, soit L.E. 1,400.000 m/m. ; 3°. Reporter & nouveau L.E. 138.698 m/m.
Le conseil d'administration ne s'est alloue aucune remuneration malgre le travail continu necessite par ^organisation des garages, et ce, etant donne que les gagages de la Societe n'etaient pas en pleine exploitation pendant l'exercice ecoule.
♦
Le bilan du premier exercice de l'Agricul-tural Bank de Chypre comprenant uneperiode de huitmois jusqu'au 30 Juin 1907, a montre le grand developpement que prennent les af faires de la Soci^t^.
Le montant des prfcte A courte dur£e s'est
61evd a £ 233. Celui des pr£te a longue p£-riode & £ 41,063.10. Le nombre des d^biteurs est de 961, ce qui donne une mojrenne d'environ £ 43 par prGt.
lies inty&te des prets reprtsentent une somrne de £ 26,089.92.
Les propri^taires de l lle commencent k com-prendre les grands avantages que leur offre 1'Agricultural Bank, qui dispose d'un capital encore considerable pour faire face aux exigences des agriculteurs lors de la prochaine saison d'hiver.
* *
Ija situation mon^taire a fait l'objet de declarations tr^s interessantes de la part de sir Felix Schuster & l'assembke semestrielle de l'Union of London and Smiths Bank.
Parlant de la baisse des valeurs : Diverses raisons, a-t-il dit, ont dte donndes pour expli quer la depreciation des valeurs en general, et des fonds d'Etat anglais en particulier. Cette depreciation des valeurs de placement s'est manifesto plus ou^moins dans toutes les Bourses du monde. Deux grandes guerres, qui ont detruit d'immenses capitaux ont provoqud d enormes emprunte ; la naissance et le ddve loppement d'industries et d'inventions nou velles, specialement en fait de locomotions, ont amend de vastes demandes sur les marches mondtaires ; des conditions climatdriques fa vorables, la mise en valeur de nouveaux espaces consacrds a 1'agrieulture et un commerce actif dans les pays tels que l'lnde, les Etats-Unis, le Canada et la Republique Argentine, ont mis hune rude dpreuveles communications paf chemi ns de fer dans ces pays et rdclamd des capitaux pour construire des lignes nou-velles et mieux outiller celles qui existent.
Les cours des objets ndeessaires a la vie ont montd de beaucoup et une grande quantitd de capitaux a dtd appelde par le commerce oil un emploi avantageux leur dtait assurd : les va leurs de placement ont par suite trouvd moins de disponibilites. Ce sont 11 des faits qu'on peut observer dans tous lea grands pays indnstriels on ii ddveloppement rapide.

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
than by any other known combination. So surely as it is taken in accordance with the printed directions accompanying it, will the shattered health be restored,
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.

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.
