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

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.

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.
