HODERNIZING CAIRO WESTERN PEOPLES ARE REMOV. ING ITS ORIENTAL AIR. A Remarkable Mixture of East and West 1s Found In Egyptian Metro- polis--On the Same Street Are Men Riding In Taxis and Others on Donkeys--All Sorts and Conditions of Men Are Fiund Living There. Twenty-five years ago Cairo was an Oriental city. Touay it is a mix. ture, un amazing mixtyre, of East aud West. Bit on the terrace of one of the great hotels on the Kamel street for half an hour at any time of uy and yon 'will see in the passing show the most extraordinary medley that the modern world has "known, writes H. Hamilton Fylo in The Lon. don Daily Mail. Here dashes a taxi- cab, and scrambling out of its way is 8 man on a donkey, who looks as if he came ight nut of the Book of Exoous. He jops along with a digni- fied air. You meet men riding on donkeys on every street. There are stands lor these patient animals, just us we stands for cabs. You ean lite thems as we take a hansom. Afier the donkey come smart motor- cars and carriages, in which wealthy Cairenes are taxing the air. © They might be in Picoidilly, or the Avenue des Champs-Elysees. Then suddenly there is a stoppage of the traffic. What is that waiting noise? It comes from a body of ragged-looking men, beggars apparently, who are shuffling along three or four abreast. They wear white tarbs over a brown cloth skullcap. Their dirty robes of white or blue revial bare legs bee neath Behind them comes a more respect- able procession, all men, some in Eupropean clothes with the red tar: bush or fez, some in long garments of striped silk. showing at the neck a neat embroidered waistooat., And see, following them again is a bier covered by a colored cloth and borne upon men's shoulders It is a funeral, a poor man's funer- al. A well-to-do corpse would have a number of mourners carrying silver censers and dishes of green herbs, to go in front of it. This is the last promenade of a man of no account. Yet the beggars cry with a willy "There is no God but Allah, and Mas , hommed is his prophet," and the | police clear the way. The dead man is attracting more attention than he | ever did while he was alive. If you wait loLg enough you are sure to bee the stream of fashionable cars and barouches interrupted by a wedding. First comes 4 band making Oriental music on brass instruments or bagpipes and tonrtoms, then« a string of decorated carriages. The bride's is completely covered over by gay 'Manchester good." While the marriage feast is going on the band will play outside the house, which is also profusely decorated. Before the bride joins it the proegs- sion takes the bridegroom three times round the quarter in which he lives, Is this a of equivalent for the publicati banns?

A tree 100 feet high, accurately mea- sured, is not as tall as it looks. There are not many trees in the gardens of England that exceed 100 feet, not- withstanding the records of reputedly much higher trees than this. We have been told that the highest tree in Kew Gardens, carefully measured with a tape, was 103 feet and that the tellest pine, a Corsican near the en- trance, is 86 Teet, says The Field. There are some fine specimens of Atlas and Lebanon cedars in these gardens, but not one of 'them is 70 feet high. A larch that hadgbeen drawn up by surrounding beeches and was looked upon as a giant, was blown down in 1902 and it proved to be 110 feet long. Beech, among the tallest of our trees, rarely reaches 100 feet, though Dr. Henry measured one in Kilkenny in 1904 which was 117 feet. I'he famous deciduous cypress, Tard dium Sistichua, in Syon Park, Brent Jord, according to Mr. Elwes, 110 feet high the tallest of its kind in Europe. The same authority gives 105 feet as the height of the tallest horse chestnut he had seen, though there are others estimated to be 'even high- er than this. The tallest walnut is from 80 feet to 85 feet, and the tallest black walnut, at Marble Hill, Twick- enham, was 98 feet high when measur- ed by Dr. Henry in 1905. Ouks have been measured up to 130 feet, but they are quite exceptional, 100 feet be- ir Above the average for our tallest Po The height of trees is influenced by the company they grow in. For ex- ample, a larch growing in the open would most likely fail to reach 100 feet in height, whereas larches grow- ing close together or pressed upward by other trees have wl known to exceed 130 feet in this country. The California giant trees of the Welling- tonia owe their great height to the same influence. Not even in that country would this tree have grown to 300 feet or more if it had not been forced to grow upward because it could not grow outward. According to Mr. Elwes, one of the tallest Wellingtonias in England is at Fonthill Abbey, which in 1906 meas- ured "certainly over 100 feet and probably 106 feet high." This is at least 10 feet higher than the tallest at Strathfieldsaye. It is next to im- possible to ascertain the correct height of a tree by any other means than that of careful measurement; there are, we know, ingenious contrivances for doing it otherwise, but they are not reliable. Of course the approxi- mate height may be near enough and yet be a long way out. The "A | Demons." It was a little boy, who had been taken to see the pantomime at Drury | Lane Theatre, who thus deseribed the Salambos, who, as the wizards of the lainp, did so much for Aladdin. The Salambos comprise Mr. Salambo and his wife and daughter. Previous to appearing at Drury Lane, they had for four years been traveling all over the world. As a boy Mr. Salambo was apprenticed to a cabinet-maker; then he became a fruit buyer in Los An- geles; then an engine-driver on the Southern Pacific Railway; and ae, mately acquired that knowled chemistry and electricity whic! ne has turned to such good account on the stage. In India their fire-blowing act caus- ed the Parsees to really worship them, for fire is the Parsees' god, and when they saw the Salambos toying with flame and exchanging volumes of fire with each other by merely blowing sheets of flame from the bare lips, they seemed to think they were their gods come to earth. As a consequence, they were followed from town to town, and were bowed and salaamed to whenever they were seen in the siréets A Sailor's Compliment. As Miss Margot Tennant, Mrs. As- quith electrified London with her beauty, her wit and her high spirits. Mr. Gladstone admired her, and the novelist Benson owed his success to the portrait that he drew of her in "Dodo." Galdstone, Tennyson and other dis- tinguished persons made a cruise to Norway one summer in Sir Daniel Currie's yacht. Miss Margot Tennant was among the party and her gayety and beauty enchanted all on board, from Tennyson and Gladstose down to the cabin boy. Mr. Gladstone and Miss Tennant! promenading the deck one morning, paused and talked awhile with a sailor: - "Are you married?" asked him «The sailor souched his cap and an- gwered : "Yes, ma'am; Am."
