The Rocky Mountain News , published at Denver , Colorado , is tbe oldest paper in Colorado and the Rocky mountain region. It has been identified with the growth and progress ol that region since its inception in 1859 , and devotion to the resources and interests of this portion of the West has always been the chit-f aim of tbe paper. Special attention has al ways been paid to its state mining dr- partmeut , to the end that the fullest and freshest reports of operations in all min ing districts shall appear in its columns daily. At present it is devoting unex ampled energies to the task'of furnish ing its patrons with the war news. The News is the only paper in the West which has the benefit of the splendid special telegraphic service of the New York Journal , and this insures the speedy and the effectual transmission of even * detail of the operations at the seat of war. The News prints more news daily , and possesses a larger circulation and adver tising patronage than any other paper in the Rocky mountain region. The pub lishers will mail sample copies upon ap plication. Be in the swim. Buy one of those wonderful Vive Cameras from H. P. Sutton. Tribune Clubbing ? List.

" A. Me- _ Millen. of C THE TRIBUNE and The Cincinnati im Weekly Enquirer fori.5oayear , strictly bi in advance. He Mr. John Peterson , of Patoutville , La , was very agreeably surprised not long ago. For eighteen months he had been it troubled with dysentery'and had tried three of the best doctors fn New Orleans , an besides half a dozen or more patent med icines , but received very little relief. Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diar in rhoea TRemedy , having been recom mended to him , he gave it a trial and to his his great surprise , three doses of that remedy effected a permanent cure. Mr. Wm. McNamara , a well known mer off chant of that same place , is well ac the quainted with Mr. Peterson and attests an to the truth of this statement. This rem edy is for sale by L. W.

AN EGYPTIAN ETON. \ SCHOOLS IN WHICH THE RICH BOYS OF CAIRO ARE EDUCATED. Difficulties That English Teachers Have to Contend With Pupils Are Boy In Name Only , For the Egyptians Have No Gen- nine Youth. They were training for the sports. In the sunny playground was a row of big , fat boys though none of them came within six inches of the slim , young , befezzed English head master hanging on to a rope made fast round a tree. The trained instructor from Aldershot he not so young or slim as be has been , but with muscles all india rubber and steel was .teaching them the tug of war. His white toothed , black faced , khaki clad Sudanese assistants were helping him. I was in the Egyptian Eton. It was one of three schools originally founded for training teachers capable of giving instruction in English or French. But How it contains primary and secondary schools and a training college for the teachers , so that I was in a fair way to see at its best a summary of the whole system of public instruction in Egypt. It is only in its infancy as yet. First we went into the primary school. There were not many pupils be cause the foes here are high as much as $ GO and $75 a year for day boys and nobody much comes to the primary part except those who have failed else where and whose fathers think the high fee a guarantee of high cramming. The primary course in Egypt takes four years ; in tbe first , only Arabic subjects are tadght ; after that , English or French is introduced and gradually ex tended till in the two last years it takes 33 hours out of the weekly 33. All tbe instruction in languages is given in the language itself , but by natives. Only one English or French is taught , but that is taught thoroughly. In the lowest class there were just four boys absurd little owls with the gravity of old men , dressed in fez and overcoat. They were getting a drawing lesson from an elderly Arab with a shawl round his head. When I went in , they all stood up ami saluted. In the highest class tbey were having an Eng lish lesson from a young native in a large butterfly tie. Their English was thick and sloppy ; so , if it came to that , was tbe master's. Still you could under- stand it. In this class nmstacbes were already budding , and it seemed strange to hear young men reading infantile 0 stnff about the sparrow. The great difficulty in scbools like this arises from the fact tbat a Mussnl- man is never a boy. As soon as ho leaves the harem and is no longer a baby ho jumps at a bound to being a man. A boy will do well in his classes up to 14 , of 15 , 10 , and then suddenly the cafes and hasheesh and lights o' love claim him , of and from a brigbt eyed urchin he becomes - of comes a sallow , flashy , sodden , stupid , dissipated man about town. lu one pri mary school two boys , 16 and 14 , have just been married not betroth'ed , you know , but really married , and living with their wives. Tbe native master saw nothing extraordinary iu a married ' sixth standard boy. Under the former system a boy took his primary certifi cot cate , which qualifies for lower govern tov ment posts , at 14 or so , then spent six rur years getting his secondary certificate , 102 and then perhaps went on to tbe train roa ing college or the schools of medicine or ter of law. Consequently he might easily dra be the father of a very fair sized family me years before he started to earn a piastre. B. Lately , by shortening the secondary course from five years to three , a real effort has been made to get boys out of ran hand and into the world before 20 or so. foil When we got on to the top form of the H. secondary school , there was no appreci able ] difference in the sort of boy all J.CI befezzed , all overcoated , most mustached - bie bio < , all grave , as if school were a matter C. of : life and death. O. There is no difficulty in point of dis O.J cipline with the Egyptian schoolboy. I.A The French masters have some trouble C.l sometimes , I was told , but in the very , Sta very rare cases where an English master I.A finds his classes too much for him he John must go. It will not do to bring up the L. young in the idea that they may set at L.Ste naught the authority of an Englishman. Jas. And what , when all is said and done , He of the Egyptian schoolboy ? Does he do any good in return for the patient , in foil telligent , honest care his English mas Geo. ters bestow on him ? Well , he is learn Hei ing to play football , and that will be E.l l good for him , only when a boy says to Get liis master , after playing the Egyptian R.I Sandhurst , "The ground was too undu R.IA lating ; it recalled to me Hannibal's low passage of the Alps , " why , then , you A.I perceive tbat even football will not nec S.C essarily turn a precocious man into a T.I boy again. He is astonishingly indus- A.I irious. The difficulty is not to make A.IO iiim work , but to prevent him from I4th overworking. Eight hours' home work after five and a half in school is by no means an unknown performance. Some x * his work in English literature which saw compares quite well with that of university extension students at home , jut , like theirs , it reads very textbooky. ? ohn has an astonishing gift for lan kl. guages , and he can appreciate a play of rhe Shakespeare with ghosts or witches in and a good allowance of florid meta phor , 110 worse perhaps better than : inct English schoolboy. it like in his 4 : , r uuintelligence , incorrigible claii his inaccuracy , hopelessly fatuous in com : dishonesty. He understands ordi 23d nary English , if you ask him questions , > e ; - uncommonly well , but ho will reel yon a page of textbook , understanding meaning of each word , but without idea of the connected sense of it. S "Will they ever make a boy of him ? and skill and trying can do it , they will , Mil and if he can be made a boy he can be Dear" made a man. But it is work against the collar , and it will not be done today or Mai tomorrow. G. W. Stevens in London Add Mail. 268 REPORT OF THE CONDITION . .OF THE. .
