Cairo. Egypt, April 22, 1904.
it (he date of a letter received
May 11 by MU» Edith Adams
from her brother Robert, who is
cruising on the Mediterranean
Sea. From this letter we are
kindly permitted to make some
extracts which, we are sure,
will have interest for many of
our readers. They are as fol
lows:
We left Jails (Joppa) day be
fore yesterday afternoon at 4 p.
tn., bound for Alexandria in
Egypt. At Alexandria two
special traius were waiting to
convey us to Cairo. The train
I came on bad 19 first-class
cars, was drawn by two engines
and bad the right of way over
all other trains. We arrived in
Cairo sbotit dark. 1 came to
the Hotel d’ Angleterre, an
English house, one of the best in
the citv. My room is on the
fourth floor bnt is a palace com
pared with what I had in
Jerusalem.
mis is a Dnei description of
"Tbe Notre Dmme" where I
made home while at Jerusalem:
Fourth story, stone floor, two
small rugs for a carpet, no
mirror, room very small, oc
cupied by two persons, beds
about what 1 bad in camp.
Fare was worse than we bad in
camp, and it took them too long
to serve it. One night the first
course was a mixture which re
sembled dish-wkter, known here
as "soup," the next coarse was
mutton seasoned with onions.
1 went oat and strolled around
the streets a while, then re
turned in time for the last two
courses: cheese sod coffee, nuts
and frnit.
My room here in Cairo has
only one bed. which is of white
enamel, with clean linen, a
white wardrobe, a table, marble
wash stand, an upholstered easy
chair, carpeted floor—in short
it is a room fitted np better than
any I have found since I left
God’s country.
In the dark last night I could
St no idea of the kind of city
iro is. Bat this morning I
found out to my great pleasure
that it seemed more like an
American city than any place
I’ve seen since I sailed.
Yesterday I got my first im
pression of the valley of the
Nile. It is very fertile. A crop
was ready to be harvested, an
other was just attaining its
height, a third was 6 inebes
high. Tbe fields are irrigated.
Oxen and donkeys blindfolded
arc used to work tbe pnmps—
something like a chain of back
ets which empty into the main
canal. From tbit tbe water
flows out into the various parts
of the field.
I actually ate some strawber
ries this morning 1 They were
delicious, uone the less to be
cause I got them while I was
tired and thirsty on my return
trip from tbe pyramids.
in v.wro nere the streets and
pavement* are wide and clean.
The buildings axe modern. Eng
land baa the houor'of making
Egypt wbat it ia. She furnishes
the money and takes a mortgage
on tbe improvements. Tnc
present ruler of Egypt ia a very
progressive man, and bis coun
try shows signs of it all along.
This morning at eight we set
out on a carriage drive to see the
Sphinx and the wonderful pyra
mids. The road ia along a de
lightful-avenue of lebbekh trees
bordering one bank of tbe river
Nile, and was built by Sultan
Pasha in 1068 that bis royal via*
■tors who attended the opening
°f the Sacs canal might bays a
shady driveway to the pyramids.
Before that time the trip had to
be made by donkey or camel
carriages couldn’t make it on ac
count of the desert.
I found the pyramids different
’ from what 1 had imagined from
the pictures. They are so large!
One covers 13 seres and is 451
feet high. 1 bought a ticket, got
two Arabs, and made my way to
tbe top, which is about 30 feet
square. I admit 1 was tired, for
it was worse than climbing
Crowders mountain. The view
is grand: on two sides the vast
desert rolls away as far as tbe
eye can penetrate, on the other
•re the fertile valleys of the Nile.
The descent was almost as tlre
some aa the ascent, but on
laadiae at the bottom I resolved
aL*?" Th,.'5 1 ™ there.
So I went inside. The guide
*»°h» aey that the interior
should not be visited by nervous
persona and I agree with them.
fhe entrance ia about 43 feet
from the ground. The first
peaaaee ia about 3 feet high and
W wide and slopes down at aa
angle of 26 degrees. It is very
slippery, worn as smooth ta
ihu. snd has very small
shallow foot-holda cat in the
stone. In tome places 1 sat
down and "slid” as I used to
down the railroad bank. I
found It an easier and saftr way.
I visited what ia known aa the
Queen’s Chamber and the
King's Chamber in tbe dark
hollow depths of thia pyramid.
Tbe first is 19x17 feet and 20
feet high, the other is 35x17 feet
and 19 feet high, the roof being
formed of granite slabs. It was
vesy close, we had only one
candle, and I was certainly glad
to see daylight once more.
Tired? 1 was sweating as if I'd
been plowing on a hot July day.
As soon as I cooled off I
mounted a camel and went to
see the Sphinx about half a mile
or more distant. 1 found I
couldn’t have made it walking,
for tbe sand was aa hot aa if fire
had been under it. The Sphinx
is carved from solid rock. The
body is 150 feet long, tbe paws
50 feet. The thing’s mouth is
7>t feet wide in a face 14 feet
wide, with ears 4tf feet high.
Prom crown to base the height
ia 70 feet bat it ia partially
covered np with sand now.
Back at the pyramids I found
a carriage waiting and I lost no
time getting back to the hotel,
where, in my wilted collar and
dusty leggings, I ate my dinner
as big as some who were aa neat
aa a pin.
1 was intending to see the
Howling Dervishes do tbeir re
ligions dance in the mosque,
bat it was too hot for them, ana
I was sorely disappointed. Latex
in the afternoon we took a drive
over the city. We visited the
Mosque of Mohammed Ali, the
swellest one in Cairo. Tbe car
pets here seem to be of a finer
quality than those in other
Mosques. We got in from tbe
drive shout six o’clock, and I
went and got what I needed very
much—a " biled" shirt. Tbe lot
I bad had been lanndred in Jeru
salem—which means merely
dipped and dried. Here I had
to pay 35 cents for a pair of
socks and 25 cents for a collar;
I’ll be glad when I get back to
Burope where I can buy things
st American prices.
We may have to leave here
Tuesday on account of the quar
antine at Alexandria, where
there are several hundred cases
of the plague. We left one of
our party at Jaffa in the hospital
there with many symptoms of
typhoid. One was placed in
(he hospital at Gib, another, a
lady, died.
To-morrow I start on a trip up
the Nile to Memphis and the
tombs there, going by boat. We
are on the go all tbe time.
About half gave up the trip on
the Nile, being afraid they
would break down on account
of having hud so little rest.
To-day it was 99 to 100 In tbe
shade. Imagine what it mnst
have been in the desert!
It is now near midnight. I’ll
have to stop and take a nap as I
have a bard trip to make to
morrow.
1 expect to reach London
June Stn on the return trip.

to come oat with a neat retort.
When Mr. Howell* was consol
at Venice a very lean and long
American said to him one day

"If I wera as fat as you I'd go
and hang myself.*
"Well,” said Mr. Howells, "if

Statistics show that at least 97
out of every 100 persons in this
state suffer from catarrh in some
form.
While the disease is one of
the most common, it is also one
of the most dangerous and of
tensive, leading to consumption
snd other diseases of the respi

Pnor to the discovery of
Hyomei and its introduction in
thk section by J. H. Kennedy

ment bad been found worthless.
The discovery of Hyomei and
its growing popularity has al
ready reduced the percentage of
those suffering from catarrh.
Thu wonderful remedy is the
simplest and most pleasant of
treatments. Put 20 drops of
Hyomei in the pocket inhaler

breathe it for a few minutes four
times a day. Relief will be sees
after the first treatment aad a com
