Will Quarrel -Over the Privilege of Entertaining a Visitoo.-strivt Rule of. Etiquette. Although most Arabs are Bedowine or nomads, many of this ancient race ' live in towns. To the traveler unused to the swaying and almost "mal de" mer" inducing motion of the camel for this Is the mode of locomotion in Arabia-it is a great relief to come to one of these dingy yet picturesque towns. With a sigh of relief the care- f worn and dust-covered voyager crosses the dry moat and pAsses through the city walls. All Arabian towns have walls and turrets. The traveler won tiers what the great standpipe is, ri ing high above the houses, and if by chace there might be some industry connected with it. But on inquiring I I he finds that it is the watch tower-a remnant of the Middle ages when only s4pears and lances were used in war fare. Today the tower would fall quickly if it were hit by the shell from a fEve-pound gun. To visit in one of the Arabian houses is indeed a great pleasure, for the Arabs are most -hospitable, and treat their guests royally, asserts Temple 'Manning in the Cleveland I'lain Dealer. In fact, the .whole town will squabble over the privilege of en tertaining a visitor. No mention of the length of a vis itor's stay or where he is going is al luded to-this would be the height of 1 il manners. For this handsome and bold race are gallant and courteous to time last degree, and some of their forms of conduct are diflicult for the Westerner to adopt. Although it is fawinaiting to live as a guest of an Arablai family, it is really diflicult, and one must be on his guard if he cares to be invited again. The main room in every Arabian house is the coffee room. Here is t where the men meet at all hours and t talk and (irink the Arabian coffee, which is so strong that it is apt to keep the guest awoke all night. There is no furnishing in the room save rugs. On these beautiful rugs one sits, and is very careful not to let E hits foot stick out in front of him. For F in an Arabian house fAet are to be r used, but never seen. t If you should visit in this land of t "A Thousand and One Nights," be sure to tuck your feet under you, no matter how uncomfortable, because it you don't you will be considered bad- 3 mannered and will not be asked to I call again I t Queer Cargoes. The oddest catgo recorded was prob- r ably that carried lately by a British steamer bound for Morocco. It consisted of some two million gallons of water. To cArry that t amount of water a distance of 15,000 T miles sounds too absurd, but the mat- t ter becomes clearer when we are told . that the water was specially purifled drinking water for the use of the Spanish troops fighting the rebels in Morocco. Another cargo sent to Spain consist- r ed of an imniense' quantity of bank t n1tes. There were several millions v of these, most of them of small value. 11 It Is testimlonial to British prinltinlg that Spain gave such 'an order. 111 is due to the fact that notes lfrintedI in Spain have been so largely counter feited.

Th od"slave," in the sense in which it was used in America unutil the proclamation by IPresident Lin-. coIn that abolished it, wvas originally. the name of a greaf branch of the hu maon race. That branch was the Slavs, among whom the uissians, the Poles and the Ozechs are numbered. In the early wars between the Ger mans and the Slave, the Slavic cap-J tives were used much as the negroes, were used in parts of America pior to the Civil war. Hence a bondman was designated as a "Slav" or slave by the Germanic. conquerors. By way of an offset to this con temptible designation of the Slav as "slaves," It is only fair to point out that the Slavs trace the derivation of their race name .to "shava,";or glory.

I am not gainst people making soft drinks and rinking It If they want it; neither inoking cigarettes, cigars or chewing obacco or chew-ing gum. But I still hi!nk all luxuries ought to be taxed nd lift the burden of taxes off of ands. This luxury tax on each ottle of soft drinks would only ,mount to about one cent and a ver' mall amount would be put on other Illy stuff that is no benefit to life, as food or anything else, only a habit hat is unhealthful to the body. If th< ax is inut on people will smoke and hew all the same. The same kick was made away ears back about putting tax on whis :ey and raised a rebellion in Pennsyl 'nnia and the president had to send roops there to :ut It down. Yes, I till say again, "The farmers who iake your bread, meat, lard, chickens, ggs, milk and butter, also the cotton hat clothes you, the lands that furnis!h his life-giving nourishment ought ot to be taxed at all." For, Mr. Edi Dr, you know full well you could not urvive many days w4thout this noir 3hment for your body. Tell m please, ,re these drinks or cigarettes any ourishinent to the body of many, wo ian or child? Yes, I say again, "Putj he tax on luxuries and the tax onit 4.11 be so 'small a thing that it will ever.
