Arab Oddities.

An Arab entering house removes his
shoes, but not his hat. He mounts his
horse upon the right side, while his
wife milks the COW upon the left side.
Writing letter, he puts nearly all the
compliments on the outside. With him
the point of pin is its head, while its
head is made its heel. His head must
be wrapped up warm, even in the sum-
mer, while his feet may well enough go
naked in winter. Every article of
merchandise which is liquid, he weighs,
but measures wheat, barley and few
other articles. He reads and writes
from right to left. He eats scacrely any
thing for breakfast, about as much for
dinner, but after the work of the day is
done, sits down to hot meal swimming
in oil, or better yet, boiled butter. His
