Yet it well might do so, for the cost of even brief visit to Fgypt has become considerable. Says one of the guide books in effect, "What is chiefly needed on the Nile is money, and plenty of it." The statement is accurate, for estimate that the expense of living here, for the visitor, at any rate, has almost doubled since I was in the country at the beginning of 1887 The hotels are, for the most part, very comfort- able, but they are expensive, and many be ibeir

the Prophet at least, in Egypt. Remember that in his heart the most cringing of these people, freed by us from the oppressions of ten thousand years, looks upon the very best of his deliverers as inferiors-as dogs' without the pale, who by right and law should be offered the choice of the Koran or the death of a dog. In our easy tolerance of quaint faiths and their followers we forget this, but the obsequious fellab does not forget it. It thrills every fibre of his being, and, therefore, at heart he ionthes un... We suppose in our ignorance that benefits bestowed involve gratitude towards the be stower. It cannot do so, for in the hearts of these recipients no such sentiments exist.

GRATITUDE NOT NEEDED.

A gentleman who has authority over large bodies of men, and therefore a person of importance in native eyes, told me that not long ago he was riding with a lady through a native town when they were seriously and even dangerously mobbed). so much so that the leaders of the crowd subsequently received severe punishment. He added that on this casion he was indeed thankful that the lady, bis companion, could not understand Arabic, and that even in Cairo a lack of knowledge of that tongue is often a blessing in disguise.

On the whole, then, I gather that our efforts for the welfare of this people win us no more thanks in Egypt that they do in Europe. Yet the contemplation of what his country has done an Englishman with pride. In face of diff.

To turn to a different subject.

On the face of one of the temples at Abou Simbel, just above the solitary-grave of a Bri- tish officer, is a white marble tablet recording General (now Lord) Grenfell's victory over the forces of the Mahdi at Toski in 1889. So poor and shallow is the cutting of this marble that already it is difficult to read. Within a few yards of it, retting out the victories of Egyptian Kings, are many hieroglyphics almost as frosh, after 3 000 years, as the day the sculptor left them.
