1904 - c are i. Egypt, a oU Cairo
tn twin sister,of gay.Pari. If I had
been transported ..here blindfolded, I
should have'Midytkat I was in PaVis;
it sounds 1 it . but, to" the ere, the
red f ezsar-turbaned heads, and long
rolje'of the men, and the Veiled women
UVr a uifferent story. ,. We reached Al
exandria about lQ,n. m. Thursday and
tor aoBie-reasonVrhaps on account of
the plague,, welid not have our drive
Uere but immediately boarded a train
ataading atthe dock where wi sat in
u hea5ftom 1 ti 315 before Marling,
tbenrSlliwd such a. long hot dustv
Kde lasting until 7 -o'clock, when' 'we
Reached' Cairo. But it was an interest
ing journey nevertheless, and as we
ped along in the really handsome ears,
appropriately upholstered in leather and
divided off into compartments, I took
note of the following: In contrast Jo
the Holy Laud, Egypt is flat,, with
broad green fields of rice, lentis,nd
alfalfa. There are numerous lovost and
other fine-foliaged trees but of course it
is the, palm trees that interest we
Americans. These are seen everywhere
ia groups of a dozen or more, vry tall,
with leaves only at the top; they are
the date palm. The eattle and there
nrc many of them are the Buffalo eat
, tie, sueh,as they have in the' Philip
pines; they are grey in color (just ex
actly like a grey-hound) and they have
such long necks an. I pointed heads with
trooping horns and cars set low on the
head; they arc used for plowing and to
turn the- ''numerous water wheels all
through the country. We passed thou
sands of these wheels; they are set over
a, kind of well I think. The ox is usual
ly blindfolded and goes in a, circle
around this wheel. The water pours out
of the top of the wheel as it turns
around and is carried all over tho
fields, the water usually standing in the
little. ditches or furrows about two
feet apart, but in many cases it covers
the entire field. ' :
After-plowing a 5old with the same
rude plows used in Palestine, a man
goes over the entire plowed part and
pounds up the large clods with a kind
of an iron hammer; but labor is cheap
and plows are high. All of the land is
Mnder cultivation and the crops are all
gathered by hand cut with a sickle.
There are a few automobiles iu town
(and; their . "ehu thu" makes me so
homesick) but "nary" a plow. ! J
Among the firHt things my eyes lit
upon after leaving Alexandria Merc
boats apparently sailing-over the land
and immediately in t'.io;:;it I was
transported to dear old II ''.;::d. Canals
havea fascination for 1: , j 1--t like old
jugs. Wo , crossed the .Nile, several
"times onr well-built stc-ie bridges. AVe
soon began to pass the little towns and
what do 3011 suppose they were built
off .Mud. entirely of mud with scarce
ly any windows and no chimneys i.-in
shape square, like the houses of Pales
tine but right on the top was a funny
little ball of in ml; there is usually one
white building of mud in each tillage
and I think it is the 'mosque. There is
usus-Uy cemetery at the sid of bach
-little village and the grav.es are all
built up from the ground, also of mud.
Now and then we passed a. large city
looking just like any other city except
for the nntives in their -picturesque cas
tuittes and the numerous camels and

our long ride of 133 miles, but it was
cooler in ' the twilight and the green
! eountry looked so beautiful. Arriving at
; Cairo, all was excitement, for the hun
jdreds of pieces of baggage had to be
! claimed and I stood on tOD of two suit-
eases beside the freight car door ' and
-watenea tacm. throw every piece out

cases and bags! in all stages of dissolu
tion! for you ean imagine such a num
ber could not be handled carefully. At
Jerusalem two foolish persons had
' 8trapied their umbrellas to their suit
cases. I wish you could have seen the
result. Truly the last stage of those
rmbrellas was worse than the' first and
the poor gnarleu, twisted things appeal
ed to me for it wasn't their fault and
they did their best to stick on. .
j Sunday - -evening, - April - 23. This
morning-Mrs. Park and I went to the
service of. Arabic at the American Mis
sion ; following t his was a regular church
service. Mrs. Park stayed and I came
home to the hotel to rest and to write
tbiglYlter. It has been hotter here than
any weather I ever -rxtierieneed. except
in K&mtas, and I have had to keep pret
ty quiet, going sight seeing only in the

surprise to nni that the entire urive
wis over a boulevard, thickly lined on

pleasant. We soon caught sight of the

perfectly natural tltat they Bhould be
there three of them. "When we reach
ed the base of the largest . one about
10:30, the sun was beating down on the
hot sands so fiercely that I could not
even walk orer the hill to ee the
sphinx only a ; short distance. There
Were -plenty of donkeys and camels onl
hand, but the price had advanced to 50
eeats to the sphinx and return-; however
I soon bargained with a donkev bov to
I take me there and back for 25 eents
(the eamel, drivers wouldn't come
down) so I put . up my umbrella and
took ray- snap-shots from the donkey's
back (the boy, held his lordship's ears
dowa so they, wouldn't be in my f pic
tures) then returned - to the pyramid
without getting off the donkey. II was
afraid, too, that if I dismounted I
would have to pay to get on again. Mrs.
lark said she would not go to see the
sphinx but ! afterwards changed f lier
mind and walked, hiring a euide to
1 take her. ' There were only a few who
climbed to the top of the pyramids;
some of tbem said that it was terrible,
while others told another story. Kach
person has to hare two men to ! pull
him up and each step is so very high
that it- becomes ! a - great strain. !The
pyramid looks about as I thought it
would but the sphinx is much smaller
than I imagined, it. There is an en
trance to the tomb in the center of the
pyramid 'near the ground; very few at
tempted that I believe. ,Theyaid tha.
it was just , as hard to go dowa ifie
slippery dark way as it was to climb
the outside, then there was nothing to
see when one reached it. After a little
when the -prices of camel rides had
dropjHMl, I bargained with a man to
ride a few steps on his camel and to
have somebody take my picture, all for
3 eeuts. The fiist man I called to take
my picture (with my camera) aimed it
at all points of the compass and had me
wildly waving my arm for 10 minutes
and the camel driver was calling for
double pay 'for taking his time,- when
the-; would -be camera - man announced
that he "couldn't see, a thing" and
handed it over to his companion.1 : No.
2. had never taken any pictures but No.
Phad; however, I begged No. 2 from
my. height in the broiling sun to please
aim it at me and snap it. He finally
did, then brought it to me to turn up
another' film but I couldn't do it, for
Xo. 1 in his desjeration had clinched it
m tight that it would not work. . Well,
I fixed it with my hat pin, then utterly
ignoring No. 1 and No. 2 I called to a
man who was passing with a large cam
era and tripod. Well, he capped the
climax for although I showed him where
to press the button he backed off with
the lens pointed direetly up to the sky
and trying to find me in the round lens
of the finder and I could not get him to
turn it over so I begged him -on my
knees almost to please bring me the
camera, but even when he had turned it
right side up he " eouldn 't see a
thing" so I told him to simply aim it
and snap it 'and he did; but it was al
niost the end of me, I was worn out.

rather one missionary and one teacher,
lovely girls and sisters, took us in a

Politics
A group of us were sitting about the
hotel parlor in Wallowa county, Oregon.
It was a mixed one both as to. nationali
ties and as to occupations a drummer
or two, a iiewspajer man, a cowboy, a
miner, a couple of sheep men, the stage
driver, the hotel keejer, and half a
dozen r'sidents-ht-iral dropped in to
smoke and chat and a good natured
Swede who was looking for a "yob. "
America, J Ireland, England. Scotland,
aud HwtMlen, were represented as to na
tionalities. To ; methere is always a
fresh charm in sitting down with a
group of typical Westerners. One can
Icarn history ami igeography at first
hand. Some have freighted in early
days; some have fought Indians, mined
from California to Alaska, and what
they say is IxmiikI to !o interesting as
much from what they say as the manner
ill which they say it.
t For t ho benelit of some of your read
ers who 'do not often wander from their
own fir-ides J am going to reproduce a
hit here and there of the conversation
I heard as I tried to write a letter by
the light -of a smoky evil-smelling kero
scno lamp. ;i '
. A broad-faeel, tow-headed,, good
natured Swede was talking:
"Oh. yes, I had a yob but I don't like
it pretty much so I ynmp it and come
tip here to find a letter yob;"
: "Did you come up in the- 1'iillmaii?"
some one facetiously inquired,
"Oh. yes, I started on my yourney at
Portland in der I'nllman but I fiuishel
in dor side dor I'nllman and. on - tho

of Xaples, Friday, April 29,

ships iu the bay, of which there are 32,
(among them. our. "Kentucky V), were

we Americans took this honor onto our

Thej first sitting has just finished and
the second is just beginning now. I am

a writing desk for I don't want to write
in niy room for fear I wil miss some
thing. Every course was decorated to

white boats, another with the American
eagle standing among green leaves and
last of all came the ice cream iu the
form?of a sqnare, a,nd sitting on top of
it all in the .cream was a little Chinese
lady jwith a colored parasol Over her.
When we had reached the third course
the. boats in the harbor fired the sunset

nil tho streamers and flaes were low-
erel. Sir Thomas Upton's yacht was
the nearest boat to usonly a few rods
away. I tell yon it was exciting. Be
fore the dinner closed we all partook
of the centerpiece on the table of which
there was one on each table, it consist
ed f a tall open-work pyramid of cake
decorated with tiny flags of different
nations and bonbons and on the top
a little statue of some kind. We popied
the bonbons and wore the caps which
they contained, with one of the flags
stuck through them. Of course we all
wore our vcr "gladdest clothes" and
the dining room was brilliant with col
or. The me sic too ia the very best. I
just told the) boy playing the "big
bass" at, my elbow that my brother
played the saine instrument.' I used my
best Herman and he understood. I of
ten think how George would enjoy a
trip like this with the Germans. During
the dinner Mr. Hartshorn presented the
resolution that, inasmuch, as Monte
Carlo was known .throughout the world
as the worst kiud of a gambling place,
that it was resolved to change the pro
gram; they took a vote which was al
most uuanimous for the change so that
nearly all the party will take the beau
tiful drive, with dinner at Nice, instead
of at Monte .Carlo. "

the captain, and 1 think Mr. Clark also
