Taking Off the Shoes.

In Syria the people never take off their
caps or turbans when entering a house
visiting a friend, but they always leave
their shoes at the door The reason is
that their floors are covered with clean
mats and rugs, and in the Moslem houses
the men kneel on the rugs TO pray and
press their foreheads to the floor, 50 that
it would not be decent or respectful to
walk in with dirty shoes and soil the
siijady on which they kneel to pray.
They have no foot mat or scrapers, and
it is much cheaper and simpler to leave
the shoes, dirt and all, at the door.
1t is very curious to go to Syrian
school-houses and see the piles of shoes
at the door. There are new bright red
shoes, and old tattered shoes, and kob-
kobs, and black shoes, and sometimes
yellow shoes. TheIkob-kobs are wooden
clogs, made to raise the feet out Of the
mud ard wafer, havinga little strap over
the toe to keep 1t on the foot. You will
often see little boys and girls running
down steps and paved streets on these
dangerous kob-kobs. Sometimes they
slip, and then down they go on their
noses, and the koh-kobs fly off and go
rattling over the stones, and little Ali or
Yusef, or whatever his name is, begins
to shout, "Ya Imme! va Immep' "Oh
my mothprp' and cries just like little
children in any other country.
But the funniest part is to see boys
when they come out of school and try
to find their shoes. There will be fifty
boys, and of course a hundred shoes, all
mixed together in one pile. When the
school is out the boys make a rush foI
the door. Then comes the tug of war
A dozen boys are standing and shufiine
on the pile of shoes, looking down, kick
ing away the other shoes, running theil
toes into their own, stumbling over the
kob-kobs, and then making dash to ge
out of the crowd. Sometimes shins viii
booshes thrown off, and a great scream
ing follow, which will only cease wher
the teacher comes with "Asa," or stick
and quells the riot. That pile of shoe
will have to answer for good man,
school-boy fights. You will wonde
how they can tell their own shoes. s.
do I. And the boys often wear off eacl
others shoes by mistake or on purpose
and then you will see Selim running
with one shoe on and one of Ibrahim'
in his hand, shouting and cursing Ibra
him's father and grandfather until h
gets back his lost property.-The Wome
| of The Arabs.

A Remarkable G. )at.

The Louisville CoHrier-Jouaal il re-
sponsible for the following:
There are great many stories afoat
about smart dogs, but in the lower part
of this city there is pretty brown goat
that surpasses in understanding the most
favored of the pestiferous canine species.
Some eighteen months ago, in a spirit Of
rebellion against an INSCRIPTIONS milk
man, good citizen bought her, and took
her with her kid, bound in the bottom
of a wagon, to his home, two miles from
the place of purchase. Being we'll fed
and stabbed, she apparently forgot all
about her old home, and seldom yentur-
ed far from her new quarters. After
a while she took to eating the young
peach trees and rose bushes in her
masters yard, and in fit of disgust he
sold her to a near neighbor, with whom
she soon became as contented as before.
and enjoyed quiet life on the commons,
with no fears beyond those occasionally
excited by the proximity of the troub-
lesome small boy.
Not long since she went dry, but
seeming to comprehend that the family
who took care of her must have milk,
she departed one day, and after remain
ing away longer than usual, returned,
bringing with her a strange goat with
two kids. The goats were very friendly,
and as the family failed to find the own
er of the new conner, she was allowed to
run with their goat, and kept up the
supply of milk which the latter was un-
BILE to furnish. A few days ago the
dried-up goat suddenly disappeared, and
a long search for her proved fruitless.
She had been so punctual about coming
home, that her absence led to the belief
that she had been killed.
There was grief among the children,
but their weeping was turned to rejoic-
ing when somebody at length succeeded
in finding the missing pet. She had
gone to the old home, two miles away,
from which she had been carried in the
bottom of wagon and in a circuitous
direction eighteen months, and she had
there become the happy mother Of pair
of kids.
The facts in this case seem To indicate
that this able animal deliberately plan
ned her Disappearance" that knowing
her owners were entitled to her services,
she felt that she could not conscientious
ly desert them unless she should leave
with them as good a goat as herself; that
for eighteen months she had remember
ed the distant home where she had first
become a mother, though she had not
once visited it after having been carried
away. History does not mention goat
that has done so much thinking in so
short time as this one.

NUMBER l
Keep Ammonia In the House.

No housekeeper should be without
bottle of spirits of ammonia, for besides
its medical value, it is invalable for
household purposes. 1t is nearly as use
full as soap, and its cheapness brings it
within reach of all. Put teaspoonful
of ammonia to a quart of warm soap
suds, dip in a flannel cloth and wipe off
the dust and Ay-specks, and see for your
self how much labor it will save. No
scrubbing will be needful. It will cleanse
and brighten silver wonderfully. To
pint Of suds of mix teaspoonful of
the spirits, dip in your silver spoons,
forks, &c, rub with brush and polish
with chamois skins.
For washing mirrors and windows it is
verysdesirable; put few drops of am
monia on a piece of paper, and it will
readily take off every spot or finger
mark on the glass. 1t will take out
grease spots from every fabric; put on
the ammonia nearly clear, lay blotting
paper over the place and press hot fat
iron on it for few moments. A few
drops Of water will clean laces and whi-
ten them as well; also muslins. Then it
is also a most refreshing agent at the
toilet table; few drops in basin of wa
ter will make a better bath than pure
water, and if the skin is oily, it will re-
move all glossiness and disagreeable
odors. Added to foot bath it entirely
absorbs all noxious smell so often arising
from the feet in warm weather, and moth
ing is better for cleansing the hair from
dandruff and dust. For cleaning hair
and nail brushes it is equally good.
Put a teasPooHfuI Of ammonia into one
pint of water, and shake the brushes
through the water. When they look
white rinse them in water and put them
in the sunshine, or in warm place to
dry. The dirtiest brushes will come out
Of this bath white and clean. For med
cal purposes ammonia is always unrival-
ed. For the headache it is de<ira bic
stimulant, and frequent inhaling of its
pungent odors will often entirely remove
catarrhal colds. There is no better rem
edy for heartburn and dyspepsia, and the
aromatic spirits of ammonia is especial
ly prepared for these troubles Ten
drops of it in wine-glass of water are
often great relief. The spirits of am
monia can be taken in the same way, but
