As they yell and bellow donkeys andcarriages and people scramble out oftheir way until the carriage they precede lids rolled rapidly by Onlyprincesses of the royal harem and consuls general and the heads of the armyof occupation and the Egyptian armyare permitted two sais other peoplemay have one

An Ideal BathAn ideal combination is to soap the

body all over using tepid water beforeI plunging into a cold bath But there

a cold bath daily and who after takingone are apt to be cold and shiveringall the day through For these the best

THE FLAG REVERSED

One of the frequent sights in theports along the eastern coast is that ofa fishing schooner coming into the harbor with an American flag hoisted atthe mainmast head in its reverse position To the interested spectators thatdag always brings a pang of distressfor it means that one or more of thecrew through some

of the sea But to the members ofthe craft itself the signal is not alwayson emblem of woe The flag is hoistedfrom their viewpoint to notify those

for a long time before theythat the men who have disappear

the skipper of one of these fishingschooners the other day what the

signal meant and he was setright by the captain who remarked inthe most cheerful way in the world

Theyre missing out of th crew ofcourse but we havent given them upby a long sight Ye see they mayhave been picked up by some otherboat an carried off to th other sideOh no we dont give them up just because weve missed them Its morethan likely theyll turn up yet XewYork Press
