Miss Carrie Buchanan, a missionary of seven years' experience, testifies that woman's lot is, perhaps, the most deplorable feature of the country. “They are rated below brutes,’ sho says. “A man might speak of his do mestic animals, but to mention his wife's name in public is a breach of etiguette in its worst form If it does havpen that by a slip of the tongue the wife's name is spoken the husband spits on the ground immediately afterward, to show his contempt and cleanse his mouth “Most of the people in Egypt,” says Mrs Buchanan, “are of the Mohammedan faith and are yet controlled in a large measure by the ruling hand of the Turkish empire.” She says it is the religion that has caused numerous uprisings in Egypt and that the spirit of the Mohammedan faith is responsi ble for the riotous and unruly “Boxer' el ment in China “But Egypt is facimg a brighter future and with the 196 schools flourishing, with an enrollmenc of 20,000, 4.000 of which are girls, there is ample ground for encourage ment. Many of the wealthy Egyptians and those of higher classes are now desirons of bringing their daughters up in the style of the American women and are sending them to the mission schools for American education “One of the greatest hindrances the mis slonaries experience is the lack of home life and influences, which form a foundation on which to build character. When a woman enters into the matrimonial contract under the Mohammedan law she practically entors upon a lfe's imprisonment. A small per centage of the population that is not Mohammedan is less strict in imposing matrimonial obligations, and a wife may leave the house five years after the mar riage ceremony, providing there has been no death in the family, Each death adds one year to a wife's exclusive domestic du ties, and so many members of the same MISS UTHE M'KAY QUEEN OFF FLOWER CARNIVAL, MISSOURL VALLEY, la MISS ALICE BROOKS—QUEEN OF THE FLOWER PARADE AT LINCOLN, N tamily 1lve under the same roof that unles S0ka- Ry B siked
