Ton heed to gness the coin by its site; 1U looks and th ring if yon drop it on the counter.

But money language Is soon learned and its need Impressed upon yon by the everlasting demand tor "tips" and "backsheesh."

Modern borne of the costliest etone and brick, with, finest flower gardens about them, ar mingled often in the sain neighborhood with stone or mud and thatch covered dens or pens without floors, where decent Illinois hogs would not be allowed to stay for a week. British Eoldlers occupy th citadel and also Egyptian troops are seen Ehowlng British dominion, though the Khedive plays the nominal roil of king or governor. The business Is done in finest stores cf modern cities and much of it In stalls or shops which line the streets like a bazaar exposition. There is seen all sorts of hand-manufacturing by children and adults and little modern machinery is in evidence.

Egypt, though first in history and some of the arts, seems really oae hundred years behind America in the use and application of labor. Their method of business is Oriental rather than American or European. Two or three prices are first asked for articles and the selling price finally adjusted to suit the customer. The prevailing religion of Cairo seems to be that of Mabomet. There are nearly 400 mosques In this great city of 650.000 people.

Yet the mue-zin calls to prayer from the minaret towers seem to call fewer worshippers to their knees than to earlier days. One reliable business Mohammedan religionist told me that if they neglected their devotions during the day at regular worship were expected to make up by going through repeated ablutions and genuflections at night before retiring. Tbla religion has certain excellent traits, but Its fruits ar not making for the sanitary or moral uplift of the masses. Its fruits condemn it, as compared with a pure Christianity. England is doing much toward a better civilization and habits promise progress and prosperty.

An illustration of this is found id th fact that English and American wares and clothing are becoming more prominent in store and shop windows.

They are charged with burglarising the bam of Sam Goldstein at 1317 Edgar avenue, relieving the owner of six cases of bottled beer. The police found at the home of Sumner fifty empty beer bottles of the brand of beer stolen from Goldstein, and one empty beer -case. It Is said that Sunnier and his friends drank beer all day on- Sunday and chopped into pieces the cases as soon as emptied, so as to leave aa few traces as possible of the stolen property.

The beer stolen from Goldstein was delivered to him by Sumner and oth er the latter part of last week. Just before the saloons were closed. The police have a report of the theft of three cases of beer from another section of th city. Owing to the absence of Assistant State's Attorney Moran, and State's Attorney Hammond being engaged In the Mings murder case at Charleston, the four men may not be given a bearing before late this afternoon or tomorrow. The state may be represented at the hearing by a special state's attorney.

Mr. Moran went to TaylorvUle on Sunday and he may not return before Thursday. LEADING AVIATOR QUITTING BUSINESS International News Servlc Paris. Msy 11. One of the foremost of French airmen.

GEORGE F. OLIVER. ANOTHER CHAPTER IN MONSON-GIBBONSCASE Special te Journal-GazetU. TaylorvUle, May 11.

Judge Mc-Bride heard In his chambers this mom-in the injunction proceedings of the Monson-Gibbons case, which is to be tried in the circuit court of Shelby county at the next term of that court.
