. Egypt painted and described . children with absolute confidence in its medicinalproperty. The Red Mosque at Bulak also has peculiar sanctity.I purposed painting it some years ago, but my servantwarned me that it would be useless my making theattempt. Why so ?

It so happens that, otherwork interfering, I have never yet been able to carryout my intention, and so disabuse my servants mindof its curious belief. It is said that for a year the devout Moslem mayworship each day in a different mosque without com-pleting the round of Cairos religious edifices. Thisstatement is certainly well inside the mark, there beingprobably four hundred or more recognised mosques in 52 GRILL IN THE MOSQUE OF THE SULTAN KELAUN.

Their origin, however, was not due entirely todevout feeling or a sense of religious obligation. Pic-torial and sculptural representation being forbidden bvthe Mohammedan code, such buildings formed the onlypossible monument to departed greatness, and suppliedmuch of the historical record of Mohammedan rulein Egypt. Another explanation of the extraordinarynumber of these buildings may be found in the factthat in olden days Khalifs and Cadis, Pashas andMuftis, were alike rapacious, and not over-scrupulousto regard the wishes of departed city fathers as to thedisposal of their worldly goods, and their legitimateheirs not infrequently went begging in consequence ofofficial sequestration in the na
