Egypt mm m National Customer. Unole Bam, should study Egypt as a na tional customer, and should have his men on th ground to Introduce his goods. In deed, It Is difficult to know this country and people without coming to see them. Since the beginning of history the Nile valley haa been considered the garden spot of the (lobe. Its soli Is as black as Jot, Is rich as guano, and the floods of the' river an nually coat It with a fertilizer aa sustain ing as the bonedust sold by the American Meat trust. Such parts of It as can be per ennially Irrigated will grow two or three lars a year, and Its eggs form one of the Items of the national exports. During the last twelve months enough eggs have been shipped across the Mediterranean to Eng land and other parts of Europe to havo given one to every man, woman and child In the United States. The amount was In the neighborhood of 100,000,000, and the most of them, went to Great Britain. The Egyptians have an excellent cli mate for fowl raising, and they had in cubating establishments long before arti ficial egg( hatching was known to tha rest of the world.

This vertical wheel Is moved by one fet horizontal, the two running In cogs, the latter being turned by some beast of burden. There Is usually a boy, girl or old man, who sits on the shaft nnd drives the benst 'sqund. These saklyehs screech terribly, and their noise almost breaks the car drums of the tourists who como nenr them.

We are spending much .In pushing our trade with China, and for ar generation or more our. papers have been full of the Chinese possibili ties. As It Is now the foreign trade of Bgypt Is more than one-third aa , large as that of all China. It Is over $300,000,000 a year, and of this $100,000,000 Is brought ln from abroad. As to fhe exports, we take alt and more than our share. But of the Imports ws get hardly a smell. In 'other words, we buy of Egypt from $700,000,000 to $10,000,000 a year and sell her less than one Effect of Open Air Treatment 611 Consumptives IBERTT. N. T..

' What : Uncle 8am Should Do. It would seem that Unele flam ought to wake up and put his men on the ground. He ought to - establish a mora extensive consular service, ought to build a legation building at Cairo, and urge some of his financial nephews to open a bank or so hers, with branches In New Tork and ln other' American ports. He should send out a - commission to study this trade, and should establish exposition warehouses In Alexandria and Cairo, filled with the goods we make so well, but which the Egyptians are ' now buying from England and other countries of Europe. As It Is now, our-consul general to Cairo Is acting as our diplomatic agent as well. The 'duties should be divided,- and a man who will do nothing else but push Ameri can trade should be added to the legation force. As this country nominally belongs to , Turkey, wo cannot send a minister plenipotentiary to It, but our consul gen oral Is given practically the same powers as an ambassador bas elsewhere, and this part of his work Is enough for one msn to handla, fathers, the apes.

The Important points of the fresh air curs are a maxlrqum of rest, air and food . and a minimum of carefully regulated ex ercise. At 6:4 a. m. we rise; at 7:30 break fast. Then we make our beds and sweep or scour the camps, dividing the work among ourselves. At 10 a. m. we have diets, which consist of a big mug of milk, with a raw egg If necessary. At 10:30 cornea exercise lasting from ten minutes to sn hour, - as , our strength permits. , At 12:30 comes dinner, at . fened limbs and stir up the circulation.
