THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1908.
When the correspondent of the " Daily Telegraph" informed the public that H. H. the Khedive had expressed his regret that certain young Egyptians should indulge in political agitation for the purpose of self advertisment, it was generally held that Mustapha Pasha Kamel and his supporters were the objects of his Highness' criticism. The nationalist, or rather the extremist leader, left us in no doubt as to his opinions. His European organs manifested considerable irritation, a remarkable tactical blander, by the way, and asserted that the reported interview had never taken place or was, at best, the work of a correspondent whose accuracy was on a par with that of Mr. Dicey, whose last interview with H. H. Abbas II was, as our readers will remember, the subject of a semi-official dementi. "Al Lewa" and its European editors therefore denounced the "Daily Telegraph" as one of the organs of a blood boltered capitalism, derided Mr. Dicey and confidently predicted a démenti, in terms which left no doubt on the mind of the reader that the non-appearance of the démenti would cause its Editor and his party no small annoyance. Several days have elapsed but no démenti has yet appeared and "Al Lewa" has published several of the late Sheikh Mohamed 'Abdou's letters to Mr. Wilfrid Blunt in which H. H. the Khedive is criticised with some severity by the Sheikh. It is to be presumed that this action on the part of Mustapha Pasha or his brother, denotes the annoyance of the extremists at the non-appearance, of the expected contradiction. The letters have, we believe, been published in the second volume of Mr. Blunt's work on Egypt. Prudence or courtesy no doubt prevented their publication in the Arabic Press, and the Editors of "Al Lewa" must find some very ingenious explanation of their publication of those documents, if they are to be acquitted of the intention of displaying their indignation at his Highness' statements. If they have merely published them à titre de curiosité' why did they not publish them before
The declarations attributed to his Highness are certainly explicit enough and should have an excellent effect on many young Egyptians, who instead of taking up professions of an honorable and useful natare prefer to idle and prate concerning subjects of which they know nothing, save some few catchwords. A painful instance of thia tendency is to be found in the speech of Mahmond Bey Anis, on the occasion of the first, and we trust the last, meating of the Nationalist Party. Here is a young man» mentally an infant, who does does not know the first principle of political oratory, viz that. you should not give your opponents a handle. His speech, if its translation in the Earopean Editions of the "Lewa" is to be accepted as accurate, and here again we have had no démentis, is a concatenation of turgid phrases and rancid eulogies of his chief. Mustapha Pasha Kamel is loved by all Egyptians, great and small, high and low, unborn children and _ greybeards alike included. His party: is 'God's Party' and consequently invincible and deserving of every support that a patriot can give. Bless the youth ! Does he not realixe that his description of The Almighty asa soit of patron-in-chief of the extremist wing of the Nationalists borders on the blasphemous t Does he suppose thatamong those who do not love Mustapha there are not a few genuine Egyptians-par-sang, a matter of half a million Copts and all the supporters of the Constitutional Reform league and the Party of the People included? But we can only presume that the enchantment 'of finding himself in the palace of "Al Lewa," a sort of Aladdin's cave, was to much for the poor young man's self control. The building had evidently been metamorphosed for the occasion by astroke of some enchanter's wand, for if Mustapha Pasha has succeeeded in changing a military deserter into an unfortunate but gallant officer, and several teachers of arithmetic and algebra in the vernacular into world-renowned scientists, what prevents his effecting the transformation of the offices of the 'Lewa" into an Egyptian Yildiz Kiosque, with Jinns for printers' devils and Mamelukes in the place of his excellent Sudanese boab. We wish we could find an equally powerful wand.

To "Man" for December Prof. Naville con- contributes an interesting account of the ex- cavations at Deir-el-Bahari during the season 1906-7, which bronght that work to a close, after it had occupied the Egypt Exploration Fund since 1893, with an interruption of a few years, It has completely disclosed the plan of the funerary temple of Mentabetep I1., no other temple of a similar type having been discovered in Egypt.
Mr. Frederic Ryan arrived yesterday after- noon in Cairo to occupy a position as editor on the staff of "The Egyptian Standard". The organ gives vent to the following ap- preciation of the new editor :— -
"Mr, Ryan is a young Irishman, well known in literary and political circles in Dublin, } where for some time time he was the editor of a literary review which numbered amongst its contributors the novelist George Moore, Mr. John M. Robertson MP., Sir Horace Plunkett and other distinguished writers and politi- cians. Mr. Ryan was subsequently joint editor of 'The National Democrat," a monthly political review, which was strongly opposed to. the conciliation-policy of Mr. O'Brien, Lord Dun- raven and other Devolutionists. We take this opportunity of recording our pleasure at the prospect of having such a valuable coadjutor in the campaign of the Egyptian National Party."
RAMLEH'S MOST FASHIONABLE HOTEL. MODERATEPRICES
The review held yesterday morningin honourof the Khedive's Accession Anniversary was very largely attended. All tickets for the carriage enclosure were disposed of on the day of their issue and from nine o'clock in the morning the road to Abbassia was crowded with a con- tinuous stream of vehicles of every description, until at ten o'clock the whole frontage of the parade ground was absolutely packed.
The beautiful weather of the past few days shewed no signs of failing and the somewhat long wait before the arrival of the Khedive was deprived of the chief terrors usual on such occasions, as it was neither too hot nor too cold. The troops had. been assembled' in the parade ground for a full three quarters of an hour when just after 10.80, the sharp call to "attention" notified the crowds that his High- ness was approaching, and a moment later the escort was seen advancing from the direction of Koubbeh. The Khedive, accompanied by his aides-de-cawps first rode the length of the ground returning the salutes of the occupants of the carriages, and then proceeded to inspect the troops, the band in the meanwhile playing the Khedivial Anthem,-and, the general inspec- tion finished, the lancers rode slowly past for inspection and finally leaving the ground altogether took up their position on the road outside. A general march past followed, the Infantry leading and being followed -by: the cavalry and gunners, all of which were in perfect drill, as also was the mule battery which had its place in the march -past. After returning to their original position at the Cairo end of the ground, the infantry wheeled round to the centre and the cavalry and gunners advanced in their former order at the double, then on reaching the Koubbeh -end again some remarkably well performed wheeling movements were indulged in before, at the word of command, they broke into the "gallop past" with the gunners leading and the cavalry following at full gallop and in per- fect order. It is not often that cheering is heard on 'an occasion such as this but the excellence of the mantier in which this display was carried out certainly justified the applause which greeted it.
Indeed the whole review can be looked upon as\a most successful one, for the various | mancuvres were carried out briskly and in prompt succession to one another, so that there was none of the "dragging" of time which is not uncommon at military reviews. The review ended with cheers forhis Highness by all the assembled troops, and the Khedive left the ground and returned to Koubbeh.
As already announced the Khedivial recep- tion will not be held until the Beiram, but nevertheless Cairo kept up the occasion in a royal manner, the streets being ablaze with 'bunting and decorations of all kinds, the nar- row street in front of Shepheard'a Hotel was |i particularly well done, there being literally a dome of bunting for its entire length, while | | from every window of the hotel itself a flag added to the general brightness of the scene Opera Square was also very well decorated, the main frontage of the Grand Continental Hotel being completely hidden by the flags of all nations, with the Egyptian flag conspicuous. at every corner.
The streets were brilliantly illuminated at night and thousands of sightseers paraded up P | and down the main thoroughfares until . a late '}honr. Several stands bearing electric light illumination had been erected in the Opera Square and the railings of the Esbekieh gardens were = mass of glittering light.
The Khedive attended the opera in the evening, and subsequently drove out to Koubbeh Palace amid the dense lines of people who for. a great part of the distance, had 'assembled to -witness his departure.
Yesterday evening, the Wakfs Administra- tion and the Ulema Board, Alexandria, cele- brated the Khedive's Accession Anniversary at the Abou'el-Abbas Mosque when the Koran ayats were chanted and a chapter of the}: "Hedith' read.- The ceremony was attended "| by a large number of Ulema, Sheikhs and notables.

Mm. Auberge is exhibiting her mo- dais at the Hotel Villa Victoria, Cairo.
The exhibition of maps and instruments which is to be opened to the public to-day at the Geological Museum in Cairv is oné which should receive the patronage of all who are in- terested in the progress and development of this country, for in no way could the increase in the area of cultivable land be more readily laid te- fore one than in the detailed maps which have from time to time been issued by the Survey Department. The instrament room is one off great interest, it is astonishing how many of the old methods of map production have fallen into disuse through the increased facilities which are now available in the way of mechanical ins truments both for field work and computation. || In the first place there are the instraments for the field, many of these being fitted with im- provements which were unheard of a few years sitice, the instrament which is used for precise levelling for instance, where one can read the staff and watch the position of the bubble with- out a change of position, Then there are the machines which do all the mechanical calcula- tions, such as multiplication, addition, and sub- traction, while, this part of the work performed, there are the co-ordinatograph pantograph and planimeter for plotting, reducing or measuring the work on the maps. With*the former instru- ment it is possible to plot the correct position of forty points per hour with a mean error not exceeding 0.1 millimetre. By the use of the cal- culating machines the old and tedious methods of logarithms and traverse tables are rendered unnecessary, the new system also possessing the advantage of being infinitely quicker thap the old, and Borrough's calcolating machine not only performs additions but also prints the col- umns of figures as they are added, with the to- tal at the end.
The first room also contains the field marks which are left by the surveyors in order that the basis for a new survey may be readily made from any point as it may become neces- sary, and it also contain an interesting series of diagrams illustrating the triangulation of the second, third, and fourth orders printed to various scales. In reference to these latter it is interesting to know that all triangulations under the second order are performed by Egyptians.
The second room is devoted to the methods | of production and utilization, the whole of one wall being covered with a series shewing the different stages, through which the maps pass before they are at length tarned out, with co- lours and printing complete. The map chosen for the purpose is the wall map to a scale of 1,200,000, shewing the Delta, Gizeh Mudirieh, and the Fayoum, and which is specially suitable to the use of schools, The names of places etc. are printed in Arabic, indeed all maps of this description are printed either in English and Arabic or in Arabic alone. There is also an instructive series for the use of primary school, these being printed to different scales and each map having circular radius marked offin order to enable the student to place the same position on maps of varying sizes and scales. We understand that orders have already been received by the Department for the supply of some of the 1: 2,000,000 scale maps to schools in Cairo.
All the aluminium plates used for the re- production of colours, together with the maps which have been-subjected to their application } | are also exhibited in the second room, as are a series of maps illustrating their use for sta- tistical and other purposes, among whichare to s | be found some of morethan ordinary interestas showing the winter crops of 1905-6 in a portion of the Qaliubieh Madirieh, while there are others far too numerous to comment upon, -| though of almost equal interest as records of the manner in which the land is apportioned to its various owners ete. etc
Topographical Survey is dealt with in the | .| tallest possible mannerin room No. 3 where there are over sixty maps of various Maudiria, a provisional map of the Kharga Oasis toa p | scale of 1 : 50,000 being of peculiar interest at the present day when this almost unknown |; portion of Egypt is. about to be brought with- in easy reach of the Valley:of the Nile by the opening of the Western Oasis Railway next week.
Sheets from the surveyor's field book from the suryey of Alexandria town shewing the _ } method of recording observations and measure- , | ments are also to be seen in this room, original ' field maps, maps which have been found to be _| faulty and which are now a nass of corrrec- _ | tions, tracings of field maps, indeed all that is of any interest in topographical survey work are deposited here, while in the next room s | maps of the cadestral survey are exhibited in the same way.
The cadastral survey is practically complete for the whole of Egypt, and the' specimens which are exhibited give a very good'idea of -|the method employed in their production. | « Indeed the whole exhibition is planned ina manner which enables the least technical of its - | visitors to comprehend the scheme of things without difficulty, the work of the Survey De. partment is of inestimable value tothe country, and the public should appreciate the bpportu- '. | nity which is thus accorded them of inspecting g- | the work and methods of the department.
We have only barely touched upon the chief - | of the exhibits in the geological museum. but we trust that sufficient has been said to convince the inhabitants of Cairo of the interest of the exhibition. The photographic negatives which are. to be found in one of the upper rooms are real works of art, and all the work compares most favourably with bat of the Ordnance Survey of England, and when it is considered that this has, in great part, been accomplished .| in a remarkably short space of time, and by the
Egyptians thémdelvesfa 's fat of which we have every reason to be prond.
About 120,000 maps have been sold to priva- te buyers sinbe the Department first started printing in 1900 and about 800,000 maps have been supplied to the Government during the same time.
We would remind our readers that all prints and books etc. which are to be exhibited, are forsale, a duplicate supply béing in hand for that purpose.
On Tuesday just after noon an incident, which might have had a very terrible consequence, occurred on the Alexandria-Ramleh tram-line. An English nurse with a baby was walking on the line between the Sporting Club and Mustapha Pasha, and though the wattman clanged the bell loudly and continuously - the attention of the nurse was not attracted until the tram was close upon her. With a steep bank on one side it was a difficult matter to get out of the road, and, seized with fright, the nurse dropped to the ground with the child. The wattman, however, was prepared and drew up in time, so that severe fright was the only suffering entailed by the incident. The policeman attracted to the spot by the shoutss of those in the tramcar requested the name of the nurse and her employé, but these were refused. We have at times criticised the company's wattmans for careless driving, but this was purely a case of the rights of the company being ignored by one of the public. Blame can hardly be attached to the company when the public make unnecessary use of the tram-line, and fail to keep their eyes open to the danger which they know they are incurring.
We would rémind our readers of the first winter race meeting of this popular club which | | takes place on the unique and picturesque race course to-morrow at 2.15 p.m Judging} | from the number of entries for the different | | events and from the numerous (practically all the important) racing stables in Egypt contesting, we anticipate a great gathering of | | sportsmen, residents, and visitors at the meeting. Courban »Beiram falling at the same time will tend to augment the number of those wishing to spend a day in the country and enjoy a good day's sport at the same time. To those who have not yet visited these increasingly popular race meetings and who have not yet enjoyed the unique sight of an important race.meeting held in the 'centre of the most beantiful landscape desert scenery in Egypt we can only say "Go" Every facility is given by the\ Railway Co. and by the different hotels and others for a pleasant and cheap outing. 'I he ""Tewfik" race coupons which are on saléat the Bab-el-Louk railway station and at Stephenson and Co., Opera Square, Cairo, give aday's sport and pleasure for the very modest sum of P.T. 60 for gentlemen and P.T:. 40 for ladies, and include railway fare to and from Cairo, lunch at the Tewfik Palace Hotel, afternoon tea in members enclosure and entrance to the grandstand. Many improvemests we noticed at the Skye meeting held last December had been eftected since last year and we were glad to see that the club has since then erected a fine racing register facing the stand, such as is in use at Ghezireh and at the Alexandria Sporting Club, which allows the names of the horses and of the jockeys to be plaiily seen by all. from the stand, a desiratum which was much wanted. We take this opportunity of drawing the atten- tion of ourteaders to the number of entries, and to wish every success to the next meeting of this young and-enterprising club and its, energetic committee.
On Sunday last a large number of people took advantage of the glorious weather to visit Helouan, and the terrace of Al Hayat at tea time presented a festive scene. Situated on the hill overlooking the town and 300 feet above the Nile level this terraceis unrivalled in. the opportunity it affords for admiring the sunset, giving an unbroken view of the chain of pyramids from Ghizeh. through Sakkarah and Dashour to the hills enclosing the Oasis of Fayoum, the river Nile and the palm groves along its banks. The Al Hayat or- chestra, as ugual, gave an excellent selection of music: 'The Baroness Knoop had a tea party of 8; and amongst those present we noticed the: an Ambassador Count Berns- dorff, the Countess Bernsdorff, and Mademois- elle Bernsdorff; Baron von Lancken, Countess von Arnim with a party of 4, Mrs. Williamson with a party of 5, Mra. Harvey, Mr. Sherard, Baron von Lattevitz, Dr. von Campe, Miss | Everingham, Dr. Todd, Mr. Burrow, Baron | and Baroness von Trautenberg, Professor and | s|Mrs. Meyer, Baron René de Menasce, Vice Consul and Mrs Kebren, Countess Skarzinrka, and many others.

London, Wednesday.
The "Manchester Guardian" states that Mr. Moberly Bell has resigned the management and already left the office of the "Times."
We hear from Naples that bulletins arrive daily at the Villa of Capodimonte from the Sudan giving details as to the state of health | ] of the Duchess of Aosta. The climate of Egypt | has snited her admirably and it is expected that her stay in the Sudan will complete the cure. She was suffering trom an affection in the right lung and her journey to England to attend the marriage of her sister, the Princess Louise of Orleans at Wood Norton, aggravated her malady. On her return from England the Duchess was examined by the best physicians of Tarin and Rome, who all advised her to 'spend the winter in Egypt.
On the other hand news has reached London from this country via Rome, which gives a much less optimistic account of our Royal visitor's progress. The intelligence purports to be certified by Dr. Maschiafara, the physician in. attendance. It is to the effect that the Duchess has shown serious symptoms of con- sumption. The "Pall Mall Gazette" says that this news "will be received with something more than" conventional regret in high places in this country, That the Duchess was ordered to winter in Egypt was said to be. merely a measure of precaution to negative the | ' possible consequences of the chill she got last autumn; and it may, at any rate, be hoped that this curt announcement of a more serious state of things need not be unsusceptible of qualification. The second sister of the Duke of Orleans never forgot the ties that bound her to this country, and to Queen Victoria, and the affectionate relations that existed between the Duchess of Aosta and the late Queen arestill relations of intimate friendship with the King and Queen that are.
On the anniversary of the accession of the Khedive, the Governor of Port Said held an official reception at the Gouvernorat which was attended by the Government officials, Consuls, and a large number of notables of Port Said. At midday a salute of 21 guns was fired from the battery. There was an abundant display of flags in the town and harbcar and after sunset several houses were illuminated.
"Black lege," and Late Strikers.
Yesterday afternoon a gang of "black legs" were unfortunate enough to be towed past) a yard were gangs of the late strikers. were en-. gaged in landing coal, with the result that they were made targets of by some 200 men with ample aupply of shot, in the shape of coal, and as it was impossible to pass at a greater distance than 10 yards,from the coolies, shots fell fast and thick with telling results.
The extra mounted and foot police from Cairo who were sent here at the beginning of the strike, are still here encamped in the b | stréete.
A very successful fancy dress ball was held {7 at the Eastern Exchange Hotel on Monday last. There was only a fair attendance, buta very enjoyable evening was spent.
The "Heliopolis," which arrived yesterday afternoon, carried many distingwished passen- gers. Prominent among them was Mr. T. Gib- son Bowles, the founder of "Vanity. Fair," a strenuous and able Parliamentarian, and late member for King's Lynn. Mr. Bowles is going up to Khartoum and later may visit Port Sadan and the Red Sea, returning via Con- stantinople, where he is "persona grata" with the Sultan of Turkey. It may be remembered that it was owing to Mr. Bowles that the unfortunate thirty journalists, who were bottled up in Salonica during the Turkish war with Greece, were released. This morning Mr. Bowles was seen motoring through the streets of Alexandria with Mr. Norman Hamilton in the latter's Minerva car.
Sir Joseph West Ridgway, for long. the Governor of Ceylon, and now Chairman of the Ceylon Pearl Fisheries Co, many South Afri- can and other companies, accompanied by his daughter, was also a passenger by the "He- liopolis."
Among others we noticed Sir George Ro- bertson, of Chitral fame, Lord Sandwich, Mr. E. Dicey, C.M.G., Col. and Mrs. Villiers Forbes, Col. and Mrs. Noyes, Mrs. Geo. Zervudachi, Mr. Hamilton Atherly, Count Bethune, Col. E. M. Carter, Count de Francqueville, Dr. Richard Hesse, Canon E. J. Gough, and many others.

Mr. Mackarness sends the following letter to the Editor of "The Daily News :—
Sir,—The cause of humanity, from which the creed of Liberalism derives all its in- spiration, is indebted to 'The. Daily News" for the way in which the scandal of the Den- shawai trials has been exposed, and the liber ation ofthe.sarviving prisoners persistently demanded. A further service hasbeen added by your recent article tearing to pieces the flimsy pretence that the Egyptian Government had anything to do either with the trial, the sentences, or the release of the prisoners. As you well point out, everything that took place was done under a ukase passed by the British Agent-General for the supposed protection of the British Army, in express violation of the law of Egypt and the most precions rights. of her citizens. Her judges were, set aside, her juries abolished, and even the prerogative right of her Sovereign to show clemency was treated with contempt.
The hangings and the floggings in the pre- sence of the friends of the condemned can never be atoned for. For Governments and Ministers, as for others, there aresome mistakes for which they can "find no place of repentanée, though they seek it carefully with tears." What can be done is to make impossible a repetition of such calamities, and it is to seeure this that learnestly appeal for the co-operation ~| of your powerful paper.
Lord Cromer's new case, which supersedes the whole law and procedure of the Egyptian Courts, and exposes the lives and liberties of the. Egyptians to the unfettered discretion of a committee nominated by the British Agent- General, still disfigures the statute book Until it is removed, there is no guarantee that, under an access of panic, another Denishwai tragedy might not be enacted. It is true that Sir Edward Grey has promised that he will be no party to this law being put into operation. Buthe will _ | not be for.ever in charge of affairs. As long as the law remains unrepealed, there it lies, a weapon obsolete and barbarous, nodoubt, but one ready to the hand of any terrified official in Egypt, who is short-sighted enough to sup- pose that by the use of it he can make British rule more safe and more popular. I hope that Liberals will not rest until this law has been got rid of, and that 'he Daily News" will help us.
— Yours, etc.,,

NTERVIEW WITH, THE KHEDIVE.
(From the "Daily Telegraph.)
The following is the full account of the interview briefly summasised incor special cable of the 2nd inst. It is the subject of our leading article in to-day's issue.:—
His Highness the, Khedive: has beeen graciously pleased to receive me," as representative of "The Daily Telegraph." Abbas Hilmi, who was looking remarkably well; «and: was: in the best of spirits, expressed himself as being always delighted to receive any foreigners who were really interested in the development of his country. He said that he was thoroughly satisfied with the progress Egypt was making, and was convinced that he and his advisers were treading the right path, but that much yet remained to be done.
With regard to the financial situation, the Khedive said he was delighted at the good sense his people had shown in not speculating during the recent boom. They were dependent on their agricultural labour, and as long as their chief produce was cotton, and the present price was maintained, the prosperity of the country must increase, as the area ander cultivation was eye widening
He remarked on the Aiteceoce 3 in the appearance.of the suburb Abbassia now and its appearance when he came to the throne fifteen years ago; then it was all gardens and waste land, now it was covered by villas, blocks of flats, and shops, all of which represented solid wealth. His Highness was very emphatic in expressing his delight at having Sir Eldon Gorst once more in Egypt. Sir Eldon, he said had been in his service both as adviser to the Minister of the Interior, and adviser to the Minister of Finance; and was therefore thoroughly acquainted with the administrative machinery of the country. He remarked on the sympathetic and enlightened interest which Sir Eldon Gorst took in the country, particularly drawing attention to his late journey through Lower Egypt, and his visit to Upper Egypt and the Soudan.
His Highness went on to say that he was very proud of the progress the Egyptian was making in education, and that he was certain there were no people who were more quick at learning. Egypt never lacked able men. He dwelt on the services that Nubar Pasba, Riaz Pasha, and Mustapha Pasha Fehmi had rendered their country, and the way all the seriously- minded Egyptians emphasised the common end they had in view by rallying round his Highness on all public occasions. He deeply deplored the tendency shown by a few of the yoanger Egyptians to seek self-advertisement rather than the improvement of their country by legitimate means. He was, however, delighted that all agitation was dying out. His Highness remarked that the Egyptian had so charming a character that all agitations soon came to a natural end. He emphasised the entire absence of fanaticism, but said that all people should respect the religious prejudices of others.
With regard to the Soudan, the Khedive said that it was an entirely different country and could not be governed by the same methods as as Egypt ; he had every confidence in the Sirdar and his staff, and was delighted at the very material progress made daoring the last few years. His Highness regarded with great gratification the real material and moral improvement in the condition of the people he loved so well, which had been achieved in the fifteen years of his reign.
Abbas Hilmi then went on to discuss political events in England, in which he takes the very keenest interest, particularly in the Socialists' campaign. On terminating the audience the Khedive said how delighted he was at Lord Cromer's reeovery, and he hoped that one winter he might re-visit Egypt.

A PIGMY BROUGHT TO EGYPT.
About the year 2500 B.C. a prince of Elephantime named Herkhuf made up his mind to penetrate farther towards the mysté- rions lands -of the south. It is forty-four centu- ries sincé he set out over the desert, with the wind whistling past his ears and the powerful sun warming his bone and his heart within him; yet the story of his adventures may still be read, the path by which he travelled may atill be discerned, and the names of his captains may still be seen on the rocks of the land of Arthet. Herkhof, having obtained the necessary order from the Pharaon, set out with his father Ara, "in order," ashe says, "to explore a road to the country of Aam." The.road which he explored and opened up was. probably a continuation of the route from Elephantine to Arthet, passing not far back from the river, and descending to the water between Abu Simbel and Wady Halfa in the heart of the land of Aam. The expedition was entirely successful, and Herkhuf states that he was "very. greatly. praised. for it." Emboldened by the fame which his enterprise had brought him, be made a second expedition. to Aam, and was.gone from Egypt eight months. A third excusion was more adventurous. Herkhuf set out upon the "Oasis Road," which runs from a point north ofAswan to Kurkur Oasis, and thence. branches to Tomas or Arthet and to the Oasis of Khargeh which lies westward, and which in those days was inhabited by | Libyan tribes. At the Kurkur junction Har- khuf met with an army under the leadership of the Prince of Aam, which was on its way to chastise these Libyans ; but how the wily Egyptians contrived to use it instead asan escort to his own men. back to Aam, and how he returned to Egypt through the hostile territory of Sethu, Arthet, and Wawat, with three hundred asses laden with the presents of his host, are tales too long to narrate here.
THE KING AND THE PIGMY.
One story only may be recorded in this ar- ticle. During a fourth expedition to Aam, Herkhuf had managed to obtain one of the dwarfs or pigmies who inhabited a regiou of the Land of the Ghosts. He at once informed the king, now the boy Pepy II ; and in reply he received the following letter,-which is, per- haps, the earliest example in the world's history of a private communication :—
"T have noted," writes the King, "the mat- ter of your letter which you have sent me, in order that I might know that you have re- turned in safety from Aam, with the army which was with you. . . . You say in your let- ter that you have brought a dancing pigmy of the god from the Land of the Ghosts, like the pigmy which the Treasurer Baurded brought from the Land of Pount in the time of Asesa You say to my majesty, 'Never before has one like him béen brought by any one who has visited Aam.' . . Come northward, .therefere, to the court immediately, and bring this pigmy with you, which you must bring living, pros perous, and healthy, from the Land of the Ghosts, to dance for the king and to rejoice and gladden the heart of the king. ... My majesty desires to see this pigmy more than the gifts of Sinai and of Pount. If you arrive at court, the pigmy being with you, alive, prosperous, and healthy, my majesty will do for yon a greater thing than that which was done for the Treasurer Baurded in the time ot Asesa, according to the heart's desire of my majesty to see this pigmy. Orders have been sent to the chief of the New Town to arrange that food shall be taken from every store-city and every" temple (on the road) without stint- ing.' —"Blackwood's Magazine."
These two volumes, the first; by H. Saladin, devoted to architecture, the second, by Gaston Migeon, to the plastic and indastrial arts, form a complete survey' of Mahomedan art ! They are very fully illustrated, for the most part:from photographs, well reproduced Some- times one could wish to see the architectaral views on.a.somewhat larger scale: The detail would have gained ; even the plans, which are numerous and most valuable, are occasionally marred by over-reduction, making the lettering an irritation:to decipher. But, on the whole, the illustration is excellent in quality, as well as abandant, though the historical portions would. have. benefited by maps—not many ordinary readers can "place" with surety such sites as Diafoul or Veramine. One is grateful for the bibliographical lists, which are full ; and for the indexing, so far as it goes ; buta separate index.of illustrations would have been a-beon. Sometimes, too, though beth authors:dedieate:their. books to.M. Max van Berghem, the ewinént Swiss archeologist, and M..Migeon avails himself of photographs M. Saladin's negatives there is a certain lack of correlation between the volumes, as when, in the account (in Vol I.) of the building known as the Mosque of Omar, no reference is.mede to the beaatifal illustration (in Vol. II.) of the mosaic frieze, which is one of the glories of the. dome. But.these, are minor defects.

The Money Market.
It is a good omen so far as the money mar- ket'is concerned that the year has opened with very bright prospects. The outlook: for the fa- ture seems brighter than for 4 long time past, and the stérm clouds are now rapidly disper- sing. The last two months have been anxious ones to the Bank of England, and have caused no little inconvenience to the financial comma- nity generally, but the reduction of the Bank rate to 6 percent. which was made yesterday, may be accepted as indicating that the chances _ of further trouble are remote.
Among some of the most conservative bank- ers the step taken by the Bank yesterday caused a little surprise, as it was felt that the di- rectors, following up their well-justified policy of caution, might probably wait a week or two longer to see what developments the torn of the; year might bring. For the most part, however: the reduction was fully expected. This week's: Bank return appears to justify the line taken. The reserve has further risen one-and-three quarter millions, bringing the total up to near- ly twentyone and a half millions. The situation: in America is also considerably improved, and there is little likelihood that further shipments: of gold will now be necessary. Moreover, it is probable:that gold will shortly be returning from Egypt, and the next few weeks should al- so see the return of a proportion of the'precious metal sent to the States.
The Bank return shows that the stock of coin and bullion is up £1,79%,000, all of which, with the exception of about half a million, came back from the provinces. The net addition to the reserve is £1,792,000, bringing the total to £21,473,'.00, which com- pares with £19,689,000 a year ago. The pro- portion to liabilities has declined 44 per cent., to 35% percent. In the corresponding week of 1907 the proportion was 334 per cent The reduction in the Bank rate has brought about an appreciable decline in discount rates, and the rate for three months' bills is now about 4455.
The pressure incidental to the end of the year and the Consols "carry-over" caused an extensive demand for short loans at the begin- ning of the week, and the Bank did a very large business at 7} per cent., whilst in the outside market as much as 8 per cent. was paid on Tuesday.
Yesterday there was again a good demand for short loans in connection with repayments to the Bank at 44 to 4} per cent., and weekly accomodation realised 4}.
Silver.
After being easier on Saturday, the silver market has shown: a better tone this week, and the quotations have advanced to 25%. for. im- mediate and 25, 5/'6 for forward delivery.
The Stook Markets.
As if to atone tor.the laxity displayed during the year, the stock markets signalised the close of 1907 with a burst of activity in all de- partments, and prices showed a rapid advance. Subsequent events seem to indicate, however, that the business transacted was largely ofa professional order, and was carried through with the idea of bringing in the support of the public. The move does not appear to have been successful,and investors have not responded with the heartiness which is usually lgoked for atthe New Year. Of course the present week has not been a good one for business. The closing of the "house" on Wednesday was a disturbing influence, and the bright, sharp weather, seems to have induced many people to prolong their holidays fora few days.
The outlook forthe New Year is anything bot unsatisfactory. There is good promise of much easier money conditions, which should | cause capital which has 'been let out at dis- count to be invested in stocks and shares, and thére are also signs that one or two trades which have absorbed a large amount of money during the past two or three years are.nearing the end of the boom. The Lancashire cotton trade is-anexample. Although the spinners are stil doing well, the owners of weaving mills are finding difficulty in obtaining orders, and "short-time" has become general in several districts. All this should help the market for stocks and shares.
The prospects for Egyptians are good, and things look like going 'better. It is probable that the banks will again extend credit on the | best securities when the financing of the cotton is completed.
Consoils
The market for gilt-edged stocks was very buoyant on Saturday, and again on Monday and Tuesday, and the quotation for Console advanced 4, the fact that the Bank was success- ful in obtaining. million in bar gold in the open market being # helping factor.
To-night Consols close without change.
Foreign Bonds.
Foreign Government securities have{been very firm, and; both Russians and Japanese have been largely dealtin. There was some slight selling from Paris'in several directions yesterday, and Russian Fives shed 4 to 90, bat the Fours were steady at 81. Japanese continued very firm, and the.2nd series 447, advanced § to 91%, and the Ist series } to 91%.
Both Russians and Japanese stocks are lower to-day.
Rome Ralis.
Speculators have been busy in the home railway section of late, and prices
have ad- vanced at a.rate which it was quite obvious could not be
maintained. The inevitable reac- tion came yesterday, when shares, with few

This price was maintained yesterday, although the Deferred eased off.4.to 29. North British De- ferred also gave way } to 38 1/2
To-day home rails have been supported.
Americans.
Shares in the American railway market was quietly firm at the beginning of the week, and the tone also opened firm yesterday: on the reductioh of the Bank rate. Theannouncement | of the appointment of a receiver for the Sea board Air Line, caused a sharp reaction, how- evet, and\prices fell away all-round. Unions closed in the "House" with a loss of 83, at 120}, Northern Pacific Aitchison shed 3}, and Northern Pacific 3.
Egyptians
The Egyptian inarket since our last has had a "New Year appearance," and the tone for the most part has been quietly steady. A nomber vf the shares have received a fair amount of attention, and prices close generally slightly better. Dairas have. been a fair market, and there was some buying of them at. the beginning at 12, 15/16—{. They -have-since improved to 13y4-¥s, Egyptian Markets were in demand at 22/6 and 23/-s., and they have gone better to 23/6, 24/6. Aboukir presenta very firm appearance at 1, 7/16-4. There was a certain amount-of buying, which put the price up, upon which Egypt took the oppor- tunity to sell a packet of shares, which, how- ever were all absorbed by themarket. We have reliable authority for saying the position of this company is extremely good. They have a considerable sum in cash on deposit ia London, and we think it by no means un- likely that they will pay 8 per cent., 'this year against 7 per cent. last year. The tone of National Bank shares at the end of the year was rather dull, but since the opening of the New Yearand thé reduction of the Bank of England rate they have presented a more cheerful appearauce, business having ° been done in them at 204, 208. They close 20$-4 we understand that this bank is doing an enorm- ous business, its reputation having been largely increased during the financial crisis, and we thivk it by no means improbable there will be an increased coupon this year. Agriculturals seem rather doll, although they are firm, and appear to find support. readily on any slight relapse. Here again the liqfidation from Egypt has been large during the last few months, and we' should imagine, that the proportion of shares iheld here and in Egypt has largely increased in favour of this coantry since this time last year. They close at 7}%, +4, and preferred at 9 1/4 - 3/8.
There seems to be a steady stream of liqui- idation in United' Egyptian Lands, owing to the closing out of weak accounts which mostly 'emanates from Egypt. Several large packets were uffered at between 4/6 and 5/-., but the ucarket here in them has dried up. The present price of these shares would represent a loss of 75% on the company's issued capital and wa.cannot think it in any way represents their value, Wehear of small transactions taking place in Egyptian Mail Steamship Company Deferred shares at par, but though there are enquiries there seems to be no market for this stock in London at present. There has been a little business in Union Fonciere at 44, 4%, and A, Ys, and at this price they should prove a remunerative investment.
Khedivial Mail have been freely dealt in at 23/-s. (cum coupon of 2/-) down to 21/6.. They are quoted tonight 19/- ex. We think it probable that the present price is due to the forced closing out ofa big account in Egypt, as on their merits the shares seem extraordinarily cheap. Alexandria Water are quiet at £11 ex 2/6 interim. Dealings are few and far between poe shares are consistently well held on both sides:
Egyptian Estates are a very dull market for the moment at about $-4. We understand that a valuation was recently made of several of the Company's properties' tor Debentnre issue, which has turned out largely in excess of what was anticipated. Gredit-Fonciere are coming over from Paris at 700. Delta Preference have been a very fair market at 94-8 ex 2 per cent. Salt & Soda remain unnoticed in spite of the dividend recently declared.
Mining
Although mining shares were fairly active lor! Tuesday, in sympathy with other sec- tioiis, they have been for the most part.very uiet. Diamond issues have been offered from Paris, De-Beersand Premier Diamonds have been very weak, the Deferred and Preference of the former shedding 3/4 and 1/2 respectively yes- terday.

MASON'S. TESTIMONIAL. FOR DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PHIBS.
M. Joagph Jouillat, who livesat-85;Rue du Perrey, Havre, istam~excellent energetic working mason. His health, at' one "time precarious, has been completely re-estab- lished, thanks to the treatment of Dr. Will- | iama: Pink.,Pills for Pale People, and-today, full ot strength, robust, and «working without fatigue, he can take up his trowel' with the best of his fellow-workmen.
"For six months," writes M. Jonillat, "my health left a lot to be desired. 1. was -very mach troubled.in my work on account-of~my sufferings and-my growing weakness. I suffered through acute stomach trouble, and. I .weak- ened because my impaired organa failedxto nourish me sufficiently and to recompenseme for the loss of strength which-each day's work entailed. I was, therefore, always indis- posed. I was often seized with giddiness, which for a mason working. or a scaffold, is naturally a very serious complaint. I also.had persistent sick headaches and neuralgia. At night» slept very badly and got. scarcely any. rest. In spite of all the medicines which I was made | to take,my stomach troubles remained uncured. Happily, however, I was at last advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and these havedone me agreat deal of 'good. | From the first box.I obtained a much improved: appetite, and digested my food considerably better. I quickly regained: my-strength, and | my. complete cure was very rapid."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.are an excellent | remedy for overworked .stomachs—stomachs too weak to: digest food, and, therefore-:in= sufficiently nourishing. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills' for Pale People impart to the stomach, the. force which it lacks, because they enrich impoverished blood,-and; because: the zich blood which they cause tefreely circulate in the veins carries to all the organs including-the stomach, the strength which has to be replaced. Thay are also a cure for anemia, chlorosis, sick headaches, neuralgia, general weakness, and rheumatism.

COUR D'APPEL MIXTE
La SPECULATION eT LES Compres-CoURANTS ne EN BaNQueE
La Cour d'Appel Mixte vient dese pronon- cer sur une trés intéressante question de prin- cipe en matiére decomptes-oourants en banque. 'Tl sagissait desavoir si un établissement de crédit ou tout autre créancier gagiste avait, le droit de faire vendre le gage dra que la marge devenait insuffisante 4 lui garantir son avance. Ce qui ajoutait de Vintérét a cette question cest bien natorellement la situation générale de la bourse des valeurs et surtout une ordon- nance rendue récemment par le tribonal dans une affaire analogue od le premier juge avait déclaré que le créancier gagiste n'avait pas le droit de faire vendre aux enchéres, parce que, la vente ne pouvant etre motivée que par Un danger réel, il ne croyait pas que les prix pus- sent baisser encore. Depuis lors, les faits, ¢'est- 4-dire la baisse des cours, sont venus démentir cette assertion.
En Vespéce il s'agit d'un employé des Douanes Egyptiennes, M. J. 'Abaouat, sujet local demeurant a Alexandrie, qui s'était fait ouvrir un compte-courant au Crédit Lyon- nais et dont la marge devenue insuffisante avait obligée la banque 4A appliquer ses régle- ments.
En premiere instance le juge avait fixé pour la vente un délai au risque, ainsi quecela semble sétre vérifié en l'espece, de voir diminuer la valeur du gage et empirer par suite la situation du débiteur. C'est contre ce premier jugement que le.Crédit Lyonnais avait fait appel.
Contrairement 4 l'exception soulevée par J. Abaouat, la Coura retena que le non-commer- gant qui se fait ouvrir un compte-courant dans les conditions ordinaires de la place,est réputé, du moins a priori, avoir fait acte de commerce, A défaut de toute convention contraire. Sur cela il ne peut y avoir de doute.
Tout Vintérét du débat se résume dans les modes de preave du contrat et du maximum des intéréts de réaliaation du gage, ainsi que dans la compétence. da tribunal appelé a con- naitre des. contestations relatives au solde du compte. A ce point de vue, celui qui sans autre spécification se fait ouvrir uu compte courant nanti d'un gage est suppoad s'étre soumis par le fait m@éme 4 des conditions & défaut des- quelles il n'aurait pu obtenir aucune.avance.
Sur la question de délai, la Cour, a déclaré Vappel recevable, infirmé le jugement attaqueé et décidé que la vente dont s'agit se ferait dans les trois jours qui suivront l'apposition des affiches et la date des insertions. J. Abaouat a été de plus condamné aux dépens des deux degrés.
Jeudi, 9 Janvier.
Le marché ne présente pas beaucoup d'ac- tivité; cependant les bas prix atteints par quelques valeurs de premier ordre commencent A attirer les acheteurs,; I'Qbligation Crédit Foncier, par exemple, gurune demande suivie, reprend de 276 a 278 1/2 Yancienne et de 250 1/2 & 252 la nouvelle.
Dans l'ensemble, pourtant, c'est toujours la faiblesse qi prévaut et si l'on constate une reprise en Ramleh de 4 1/4 4 45/16, en Ban- que d'Athénes de 114 & 115, et en 'Banco di Roma de 105 a 196, d'autre part, la National Bank réactionne de 20 3/16 a 20 1/8 et l'A- "'lexandria Water de 10 1/2 a 10 5/16.
Parmi les titresde moindre importance la Cassa di Sconto revient aussi de 49 1/2 a 48, les Sucreries de 33 & 29, I'Investment de 11/32 & 5/16, la Building Lands de 1 8/8 a11/4, le Port-Said Salt de 10/- A 9/6,les Cotton Ginners de 19/32 a 17/82, l'action United de 3/168 5/32 et les Ritz Hotels de 3/8 & 11/32.
Seule decette catégorie la Salt and. Soda progresse de 14/- & 14/3 et Aboukir de 28/' a 29/3.
I) n'y apasd'autre changement & signaler dans la cote. Beaucoup de prix sont d'ailleurs purement nominaux, faute de transactions ; et & ce sujet un simple coup d'ail jeté sur la cote officielle de la Bourse du Caire suffit 4se cou- yaincre qu'il en est de méme dans la Capitale.
Il a été vendo aux enchéres 25 actions United Egyptian Lands 4 5/32-3/16, 2 Buil- ding Lands a 1 3/16 et 1241 5/32, 1 Obli- gation Crédit Foncier nouvelle émission 4 251.75, 50 parts de fondateurs Land Invest- ment and Building 4 1/4 et 16 actions Comp- toir Financier et Commercial a 1 15/16.
Avec un marché aussi restreint que celui que nous avons depuis quelque temps il est bien difficile de parler de tendance. Tout ce qu'on peut dire c'est que pour le moment les ache- teurs continuent & s'abstenir, soit dans |'attente | de\cours plus avantageux ou peu confiants en- core dans une reprisé prochaine. Avec la série de baisses que nous gnregistrons depuis des mois | on ne peut qu'aprouver cette réserve. Dans peu de temps d'ailleurs on sera fixé sur la possibilité d'un relévement pour le printemps. Si un revi- rement haussier ne se produit pas & bref délai, beaucoup de positions irrégulitres devront étre liquidées.

The Egyptian Gazette has much pleasure in presenting to its subscribers the accompanying description of some of the many interesting routes by which they may travel homewards. Great care has been taken to arrange them as accurately and concisely as possible, and it will be found that none of them are fraught with difficulty. In choosing the route home there are several things to be considered. To begin with there is the difference in climate between Egypt and the various points at which you may arrive in Europe.
This depends partly upon the month in which you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may be a little warmer than the Riviera and possibly not so warm as Sicily, but in March it will be warmer than Rome, and more uniformly warm than many other places in Europe.
Many people leave Egypt far too early in the year, for as a rule the weather in April and May is perfect. The warmest place to go to on leaving Egypt is Sicily.
Some will want to take into consideration the number of days to be spent at sea, and we therefore subjoin a list shewing the time occupied on each of the various routes between Egypt and the Continent of Europe.
They are as follows:-
The long sea routes—from Port Said or Alexandria to Plymouth, Southhampton, London or Liverpool—occupy about 14 days. The short ones are as follows:—
The steamers of the P.&O., the Egyptian Mail S.S,. Co., North German Lloyd, Orient, and Messageries Maritimes are the largest. The Anchor, British India, Bibby and Henderson Lines are also excellent, and their steamers are largely patronised by travellers to Egypt.
As regards the train journeys from Cairo, the shortest is that to Alexandria, without change (3 hours). That to Port Said can now be made without change in 4 ½ hours.
The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines of steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. The German Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg.
The quickest through Continental routes are by P.&O. Brindisi express from Port Said, by the Egyptian Mail S.S. Co., from Alexandria to Marseilles and the Austrian Lloyd Trieste Vienna express from Alexandria.
As regards heavy luggage, it must be borne in mind that very little luggage is allowed free on the railways of Europe, but there are several good and responsible forwarding agents in Egypt who undertake at a fixed charge to deliver packages to any address in Europe. The Egyptian Mail S.S. Co., have also made arrangements whereby luggage can be collected and sent to any address.
The quickest manner of getting to Europe from Port Said is undoubtedly by the
fast Mail
These small but comfortable ships have enormously powerful engines, and attain a very high rate of speed. They are called the "Ferry Boats" having been specially built to carry the British mail from Port Said to Brindisi. If you are going straight through to England you will find the train waiting at Brindisi which will take you to Calais without changing. It has complete arrangements for sleeping and eating on board, and you should arrive in London on the fifth day from leaving Port Said.

Telegraphic Address CENTRAL SALSOMAGGIORE
The direct route to Sicily is by the Florio-Rubattino Co.'s steamers which
leave Alexandria weekly for MESSINA, where one takes train to TAORMENA, one
of the most charming and popular places on the island. Giardini is the station at which to alight, and the drive up to
Taormina is most delightful, occupying about one hour. In and around the
town is much to interest the visitor. The theatre is of Greek origin, but
restored under the Romans. CATANIA is the starting place for the ascent of
Etna, and here also is a fine Cathedral. The Greek, Roman, and Saracenic
remains that are found all over the island, are an endless sources of
pleasure. SYRACUSE has an interesting history, having been a Greek city,
which was designed by Demosthenes in B.C. 413, and taken by the Romans in
B.C. 212, when Archimedes was slain—his tomb is to be seen. The cathedral
was once an ancient pagan temple. PALERMO, with about 300,000 inhabitants,
is the capital of the Island, and enjoys a delightful climate. Much of
interest is to be found in this fine city. The Palazzo
Reale is of Saracenic origin and close to it the church of S. Giovannia degli Eremiti with its picturesque
cloisters. The Cathedral, Museum, Botanic Gardens, Villa Giulia and Royal
Park are also worth a visit.
The fine steamers of the North German Lloyd leave Alexandria every Wednesday during the season for Naples, the voyage being only 3 days.
NAPLES is also reached in 10 hours from Palermo by the Florio-Rubattino Co.'s
steamers, which leave daily. One cannot approach Naples or leave it without
wishing to explore some of its islands, besides the lovely places on its
bay—Castellamare and Sorrento. The small steamer that takes you to Sorrento [you can
drive too] will take you on to Capri.
From Naples to ROME is a train journey of but five hours. All who can will devote at least one week to visiting the many historical and interesting portions of the Eternal City, whose charms and beauties are too well-known to need comment here.
Leaving the Eternal City with much regret, a railway journey of five hours
brings you to FLORENCE, where another week can well be spent admiring the
City of Flowers and its surrounding country. In
Florence itself the churches and galleries are of absorbing interest, whilst
the local promenades and excursions should not be omitted. The Cascine is the most attractive and fashionable promenade in
Florence, whilst the Viale dei Colli, one of the
finest walks in Europe, opened 35 years ago, goes winding up through the
hills a distance of four miles. The most delightful excursion outside
Florence is that to Vallombrosa, with its Monastery 3,300 feet above the sea level. This is
made first by ordinary train from Florence to St.
Ellero, thence by cog-wheel railway to Saltino. The ascent through groves of oaks takes an hour, and most
striking panoramas are unfolded to view.
PISA is easily reached from Florence in about 2 hours ; here there is a fine Cathedral and the Leaning Tower. A stay of at least one night should if possible be made in order to enjoy the view from the Campanile at sunset.
VIAREGGIO. One of the most delightful places on the Italian Riviera near Pisa and on the main line from Rome to Genoa. It is a very convenient half-way house between Egypt and England, and where living is reasonable and the air and surroundings exceptionally good.
GENOA (La Superba).—The most picturesque and interesting city in Italy, with the record of having one of the lowest death averages of European cities and a phenomenally equable temperature—warm in winter and deliciously cool breezes from the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean in summer.
The patriarchal home of Italy's most ancient nobility, whose palaces, gardens, and famous collections of statuary, frescoes, and paintings, are a constant delight to thousands of travellers who annually sojourn in Genoa. Then there are the superbly decorated medieval churches containing exquisite marble columns and historical paintings, and the incomparable Campo Santo filled with its wonderful tombs.
From Genoa to Milan is a matter of only three hours by rail.
MILAN is a good centre for Northern Italy before making the tour of the Lakes. The Cathedral is the principal attraction, with its beautiful windows illustrating the History of the Bible. The public gardens and the monumental cemetery are also worth a visit.
Between Bologna and Milan and only an hour and a half from Milan is
SALSOMAGGIORE, a renowned health resort on account of its thermal springs,
change trains at Borgo San Domino and in half-an-hour
you are at Salsomaggiore.

VENICE is a 5 hours journey by rail from Milan, and one of the most delightful places imaginable to pass a quiet stay. The total absence of vehicular traffic strikes one as very strange; no horse, cart, carriage or bicycle is to be seen, and yet there is the sound of life at every turn. The approach to Venice from the Adriatic is unlike that of any other sea port. The town seems to be gradually, like Aphrodite, born of the sea. No hills behind, no stretches of rock, but first the tops of Campaniles appear above the horizon, then slowly the whole glittering town rises like a fairy mirage out of the calm lagoon.
Going northwards from Milan you make the tour of the
beautiful Italian lakes.
COMO, the birthplace of the younger Pliny, is reached in one-and-a-quarter hours by train by way of Monza.
Boats leave Como frequently for the other towns on the lake, which is very
beautiful, and the scenery on either side going up the lake is most
enchanting. CERNOBBIO is a charming spot; then come Tremezzo, Cadenabbia, and Menaggio with the prettily-situated town of Bellaggio opposite. The walk from Tremezzo
along the shore of the lake to Menaggio is most
enjoyable. A steam tram runs from Menaggio to Porlezza on Lake Lugano in three-quarters of an hour,
then steamer to Lugano in two-and-three-quarter hours.
Switzerland, the heart of Europe, has been described
as "A cluster of delights and grandeurs."
LUGANO is some 20 miles from Como and reached by train in one-and-a-half hours. It has a population of 10,000 people and is charmingly situated on the Lake of Lugano, amidst lovely Italian scenery. Around it rise M. San Salvatore, M. de Caprino.and M. Generoso.
LOCARNO may be reached by rail from Bellinzona in forty minutes. This pretty town, situated at the top of Lake Maggiore, has a mild climate and is an excellent winter resort. The church Madonna del Sasso, situated above the town, is worth a visit, as it contains interesting paintings, "Entombment," by Ciseri, and 'Tho Flight into Egypt,” by Bramantion.
LUCERNE—A striking picture on the Lake of Lucerne facing the Rigi and Pilatus and the snow-clad Alps.
In and around the town the walks are charming, and the excursions to be made from Lucerne by boat, rail, etc., are very numerous.
The Lake of Lucerne abounds in delightful excursions,
those to the Rigi, Pilatus,
Burgenstock and Sonnenberg
needing a special visit each. Other excursions on the lake can be made by
steamer, and the ever-changing scenery on the trip from Lucerne, to Fluelen is a source of delight
to the lover of nature.
BRUNNEN, charmingly situated on the most beautiful part of the Lake of
Lucerne, commands magnificent views of lake and mountain scenery. Along the
Lake of Uri from Brunnen to Fluelen runs the famous Axentrasse.
THUN (on the Lake of Thun) half an hour from Berne and one hour from Interlaken. Quiet and quaint; sheltered from winds; just the place to rest and recuperate. Beautiful walks, through woods, and along the lake shore. Kursaal, Concernts, Casino, Races, Tennis, Boating, etc.
THE BERNESE OBERHAND. – INTERLAKEN, a favourite summer resort and the best
centre for making excursions in the Oberland, abounding in fine walks and
views. There is a magnificent view of the Jungfrau
from the Hoheweg, a fine avenue of walnut trees, the chief resort of
visitors. Interlaken is also not far from the famous waterfalls, Giessbach, Trummelbath and Staubbach. Then also the glaciers of Grindelwald and view from Murren and the Schynige Platte are sights
not to be missed.
CHATEAU D'OEX. 3,500 ft above the sea on the new Electric Railway between Montreux and Interlaken, surrounded by magnificent scenery, with pure dry air. Much frequented by English people in Summer and Winter.
ZURICH on the Gothard route. Direct communication with Northern Europe. Largest town in Switzerland, beautifully-situated on the lake of Zurich. Theatres. Big Concern Halls. Boating on the lake. Excellent schools. The National Museum.
Many people visit Greece after wintering in Egypt, as it is so easily reached from Alexandria ; the climate in April is charming. The best steamers are those of the Khedivial Mail Co. and the Russian Steam Navigation Co.
It is hardly necessary to point out to Tourists the extraordinary interest of a visit to Athens from an artistic, historical and archaelogical point of view, and if possible tourists should average to be in Athens for the Orthodox Easter in order to witness the Good Friday and Easter Eve ceremonies, and to be present at the dancing on the Easter Tuesday festival held at Megara, for which a special train is run from Athens.
It is worth while to spend a few days in CORFU on account of the beauty of the scenery. There is also good snipe and quail shooting to be had.
LIDO (Venice) VENICE
From Venice or Lido, charming trip on the lagoon, 12 min. by steamboat. CLIMATIC STATION AND SEA BATHS, WITH CHINESITHERAPIC INSTITUTE. Express between the station and Lido for the Hotels.
