Tbo Bedouin is decidedly a handsome
Individual, lithe of limb like his
goats and with a cafe au lult colored
skin. He has a sharp profile, excellent
teeth. He ofteu wears a stubby black
J^j^beard and has beautifully penciled eyeMtowb,
and, though differing entirely
in language, in physique and type, he
closely resembles the Bedouin found In
the Malirl and Qara mountains. Furthermore,
the mode of life is the same
?dwelling in caves when necessary,
but having permanent abodes on the
lower lands?and they have several
other striking points in common. Greetings
take place between the Ari^ian
Bedouins and the Socotran Bedouins
in similar fashion?by touching each
cheek and then rubbing the nose.
We found the Bedouin of Mount
Hnghler fond of dancing nnd playing
his teherane, and also peculiarly lax
in his religious observances, and,
though ostensibly conforming to Mohammedan
practice, ho observes next
to none of their precepts, and it is precisely
the same with the Bedouins
whom wo met in the Gara mountains.
There is certainly nothing African
about the Socotran Bedouin. Therefore
I am inclined to consider him as
a branch of that aboriginal race which
inhabited Arabia, with a language of
its own.?Nineteenth Century.
Order of BrltlMh Titles. ^
They had been talking about an English
marquis and the position lie held
among his titled aristocracy.
"I didn't know a marquis ranked so
high," said the girl in white.
"Dear me!" said au Englishman, j
"Didn't you? Why, a marquis ranks ]
next to n duke."
lie puused to sip his tett and take a
fole gra8 sandwich.
"Marquess, not marquis," ho went
on, "Is the more accurate use of the
word. It Is so spelled and pronounced
In Burke. Shall I tell you the degrees
of the English aristocracy? The knowledge
may be useful to you when you
come to contract an International alliance,
eh? ^
"After royalty come dukes. After
dukes come marquises, then earls, vis
counts, barons, baronets and knights.
I don't mention lords. A lord Is an
earl?the Earl of Craven, for Instance,
Is often called I,ord Craven?or else
the title is only tire courtesy one accorded
to the younger sons of dukes.?

The Parrot Fiah.
There are water nnrrnts as well an
f land parrots. The parrot fish come
rfrom the tropics, are brilliantly colored
and have beaks something like those
of the parrot, for use in breaking off
the coral shell in order to get at the
living polyp. Not all of them, however,
live on animal food, some species
being herbivorous. One species Is
found In the Mediterranean sea, where
it has been known for thousands of
years. The Greeks and Romans regarded
it for a time as the first of
fishes, and Pliny tells us how it was
I introduced into the Italian sea In the
| course of the reign of Claudius. It
was known as the "scarus" by the ancients,
who told some wonderful stories
about its love, Its wisdom and its
rumination. Some having a length of
sixteen inches have been captured
alive.
Dabuque'i Seal.
On the city seal of Dubuque, Ia;, appear
the words "La petite nult," and
strangers are always puzzled by them.
Why should Dubuque be called "the
little night?" It is explained that the
llllU'A rn-lorlt, O 11\? iwnu uatflnil 1k*r ot% aI/I

minor named Dubuque. When the Indians
granted certain lands to Dubuque
the document was drawn up In French
In Prairie du Chlen. The clerk who
did the work believed that "la petite
nult" meant "the old miner," and his
mistake has perpetuated a phrase
which, however pretty, lias no significance
In Its present connection.
Blew His Own Horn.
A certain colonel who was In command
of the Perthshire yeomanry was
at an evening party in Edinburgh complaining
loudly of his officers, alleging
that all the duties of the regiment devolved
upon him. "I am," he said, "to
all Intents and purposes my own major,
my own captain, my own lieutenant,
my own cornet." "To say nothing of
being your aln trumpeter too," remarked
a grim old Scottish lady, s^to voce.
Quick Wit.
There is no more effective weapon to
defend us from impertinence or rudeness
than quick, sharp wit. I^ut few
men have It, and It is born with them.
If we try to imitate it we end In 111
nature nnd scurrility. Wit cannot bo
forced into growth. But courtesy and
good temper can. These weapons are
sure and grow brighter and stranger
with aae.
IHdn't Like Taxes.
Gases against George Washington appear
here and there in old documents.
No less than three claims were entered
against him during the y?gj- 1787 to
compel him to pay taxes. The humorous
clerk, commenting on these actions,
remarked, "George Washington,
Esq., appeareth not to like taxes/'
Modern Life.
All the accessories of modern life increase
so rapidly that there is little
likelihood of its expenditure diminishing
or of life becoming more simple
and less costly.?Black and White.
Changed.
Maude ?You wouldn't know my
fiance now if you met him. NellWhy,
has he changed so much aa that?
Maude ?That isn't it eapctly. I've
changed him.
You can't get even with a physician
by returning his calls.

There ain't much pleasure In this life
for men ns old as me?that Is, a feller
thinks they uln't when he Is sixtythree.
O' course, he likes to smoke his
pipe uu* set around an* gas an* argue
with the boys to git his leisure time to
pass. A man who's gettln' 'long In
years?too weuk to hoe or plow, fer
pleasure of the good old kind?has
small chance anyhow. But there's one
thing I like to do?one thing I sure enjoy?It's
goln' to a circus with some
poor, big eyed small boy. I always
like to have it be the first show he's
been to. I like to watch those big
eyes snap. Oh, snap tln^r always do.
I like to see him smile an' clap an'
crane his neck around an' see him eatIn'
peanuts, throwln* shells down on
the ground. It don't seem very long
ago that I wus eight or nine, nor long
since the first show I saw seemed simply
grand?divine. I 'member how 1
set up there Jest In a fit of Joy. You
see, I know the feellu' that comes to
the big eyed boy. I don't care much
for circuses like once I used to care.

A tailor who had received an order
for a suit of clothes was asked by the
customer's wife for an Interview.
"I want to ask you as a special fa- j
vor," she said, "not to put any pockets
In my husband's clothes."
"Why not?" nsked the astonished
tailor.
"Because they are responsible for
his looking so shabby so much of the
time." she oinlnlnod "Ho wonrn liln
clothes for weeks without pressing because
lie says It Is too much trouble to
change the things In his pockets to another
suit. lie says that half the men
who go around In seedy clothes do so
for the same reason. If that is so, Just
leave out the pockets, and they will
have no excuse for shahhlness."
"That is a new point of view," said
the tailor. "I will see about it."
But when the suit came home It had
the usual number of pockets. ? New

How Prontblte Comm.
The first effect of cold on the skin Is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are vessels
that take blood from the heart.
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart, und the connecting vessels
are called capillaries. While these
littlo vessels are contracting the skin
Itself becomes tenser. In a few moments
or minutes the effects change.
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction of the capillaries
are more or less paralyzed, and the vessels
dilate so the skin gets red. Soon
tho veins are dilated, and the skin becomes
bluish. Then the nutrient fluid
In the skin (the lymph) Is coagulated,
and the stretched skin ruptures or
"chaps." If the cold Is more severe its
action Is deeper, and the blood Itself
may bo coagulated. This Is frostbite.
Ant Dathn.
Persons who are troubled with rheumatism
In Russia take ant baths as a
cure. It Is done In this way by the
peasants near Moscow. Finding an
ants' nest, he put# Into a linen bag the
ants, their eggs and necessarily considerable
dirt. Returning to the home, he
plunges Into the hot water of the bath
his bag of ants, which he has previously
fastened tightly at the mouth. After
several minutes the water gives off a
very strong penetrating odor of formic
acid. The bath Is now ready, and the
Invalid Is put Into K. Such a bath has
a very active Irritant action on the
skin, being, In fact, n counter irritation
that causes the rheumatic pains to disappear.?Strand
Magazine.
Veseaaclan Cowboy*.
When the Venezuelan cowboy wishes
to catch a bull or cow for branding or
for any purpose, he rides alongside It
and, with horse and bovine on the
dead run, stoops from his saddle,
grasps the creature's tall and with a
sharp, peculiar twist sends the animal
rolling on Its back. From the force
with which It falls the creature's
horns almost invariably pin Its head
to the ground, giving the vaqucro time
to dismount and sit on Its head, holding
the animal helpless to rise, while a
companion ties Its legs.

"May we have the pleasure of your

The colonel drew himself up haughtily
and replied, with every evidence of
offended dignity:

hen Sir Peter Warren, descended
om an ancient Irish family and vice
Imlrul of the British fleet, settled
lore in 174-1. He married Susannah
e Lancey and settled on a fine estate
' more than 300 acres, running from
hrlstopher street to West Twenty rst.
It was laid out like an English

II made brilliant marriages in Engitid.
Ono became the Countess of
hlngdon, and her name Is preserved
i Abingdon square. On the division
f the estate at Sir Peter's death the
oniestcad fell to her. She sold It to
bljah Hammond, who sold It to Abraam
Van Nest, and It Is still romemered
by many as the old Van Nest
ouse, demolished In ISO.". Among
tlier distinguished persons who have

There is Just live ounces less amount
if brain matter needed to keep a wornin
from Idiocy than thcro Is needed
or a man. Tho average weight of a
nan's brain Is forty-nluo and one-half
uncos and that of a woman forty-four
uncos. When a brain falls below thlr
y-soven nnd a half ounces In a man
dlocy usually occurs. A woman's
jraln has to fall to thirty-two and onelalf

"It Is always easy to see how long
1 couple have been married by noting
whether the houso Is full of his friends

London Ladles' Field. "A man Invariably
begins by Inviting all his bachelor

to show off his wife, and ho fondly
Imagines that they will UkO her
and that she will like them, which rarely
happens." Tho writer then goes on

Ouco a number of legal lights In
Washington were gathered In the
smoking room of a lawyers' club when
the talk turned to u discussion of the
veracity of lawyers. "The average

"seems only too reudy to assume
we are all liars, a very unjust
position, It seems to me. I)o we not
sometimes tell the truth?" he asked of
his neighbor, a well known criminal
lawyer.
"Certainly," promptly responded the
latter. "Wo will do anything sometimes
