Arabian Manners.
From the Home journal.

An Arab on entering a house re-
moves his shoes but not his hat. He
mounts his horse upon the right side
while his wife nlillis the cow on the
left side. In writing letter he puts
nearly all his compliments on the out
side. With him the point of Il pin is
its head, whilst its head is made its
heel. His head must be wrapped up
warm even in summer, while his feet
may well enough 90 naked in winter.
Every article of merchandise which is
liquid he weighs, and he measures
wheat, barley and Il few other articles.
He reads and writes from right to left
He eats scarcely anything for break
fast, about as much for dinner, but
after the work of the day is done he
sits down to Il full meal swimming in
oil, or better yet, boiled butter. His
sons cat with him, but the females of
his house wait till his lordshlp is done.
He rides his donkey when travelling,
his wife walking behind. He laughs
at the idea Of walking in the street
with his wife and of ever vacating his
seat fora woman. Heknows no use for
chairs, table, knives, forks, or even
spoons, unless they are wooden or
bone. Bedstead, bureaus and fire.
places may be placed in the same
category. II he he an artisan he does
work sitting, perhaps uses his feet to
hold what his hands are engaged upon.
He drinks cold water with Il spoon but
never bathes in it unless his home be
on the sea shore. He is rarely seen
drunk, is deficient in affection for his
kindred, has little curiosity and no
animation, no wish to improve his
mind, no desire TO surround bimself
wi iih the comforts of life,

some cases the-amount is even greater.
The earnings depend solely upon the
skill and industry of the worker, and
1t is easy to see that close application
could not fail to bring satisfactory
results to the most ignorant worker.
There Is not the least difficulty in OBJ
tainiug work at the packing houses.
Anybody, white or black, native or
foreign, male or female, adult or child,
has only to ask, and work will begiven
for two or three months at least. The
packers frequently have great trouble
in obtaining hands, and some of the
less reputable firms have been known
to entice away the workmen of the
rival houses, in order to secure the
much-needed addition to their made
quate forces,
WORK FOR THE RUSSIAN REFUGEES.
About one hundred or one hundred
and fifty of the Russian refugees
recently arrived at this port have found
employment in the various establish
ments, and are giving much satisfac-
ton to their employers. They display
much skill and industry, and are earn
ing from Sc to $40 per week each. If|
they are economical they will thus be
able to save a little money and obtain
time in which they can look around
for some permanent employment. "In
short, remarked a well known packer,
"you can say that there is no reason
why a beggar should he seen on the
streets of Baltimore in summer time.
They have only to come down here,
and we will give them work which
they can easily learn, and which will
pay them good wages"

Shot Down by a Jealous Sentry
From the London Times.


st. Petersburg, July l5.-The fol-
lowing account of sad accident.
which is said to have occurred last
Saturday at Peterhoff, is circulating
here, though / cannot vOuch for its
absolute truth: The Emperor was out
walking in the park, and for some
reason or other became interested in
the operation of several workmen, or
gardeners, who were at work at same
distance off. His Majesty appears to
have heckoned to one of the Workmen
to come up to him, intending to speak
to the man, and perhaps ask some
questions. The workman noticed the
sign, threw down his tools, and ran
toward the Emperor.
When only step or two from his
Majesty's person he fell dead at the
Cars feet, shot by sentinel close at
hand, who had not seen the Emperor
call the man, and who had imperative
orders to fire on any strangers APP
the Emperor. His Majesty,
1t is said, helped to lift up the body,
and showed the bitterest grief. The
wife and family of the unfortunate
man are TO be thoroughly cared for.

Clarendon, July PA report there
last evening that another well was on

but was found to be only O small pool
of oil on lot 62O, near the Book well.
Barnsdale g. Co., have just completed
new well in Clarendon on lot 80.
When the sand was reached it began
to flow, and threw the oil above the
derrick. The report for this hour is
that she is good for two hundred bar
rels.
A third engine for the Warren and
Farnsworth Valley Raod has Just
arrived. She is named "Wildcat."
On lot Gil the Forest Oil Company
is on top of the sand, and is waiting
tankage.
Wetmore & Murphy's well on lot
$50 was opened late last evening. All
eyes were turned in this direction.
She is good for two hundred barrels.
The Anchor Oil Co.'s well on the
same lot is very small.
Books & Co., and Brown Bros. $40
are on top of the sand and will open l
think this afternoon.
The Valient Oil Co., on lot 635, is
doing at this time l40 barrels per
hour and is the largest well in the
field.

job, have opened a500- barrel producer
Hamsher & Husband have two sets

we'll.
Bayne, Fuller & Co.'s well on lot

venture virtually shows up the Me-

no longer have any depressing effect
on the market.
The owners of the well on 671 are
still putting up tankage, from which
one would naturally infer they ex-
pected to get some oil.
The most important well at present

A special telegram from Warren to

The question of earnings among the
great army of working people in the
various establishments will be found
OF singular interest as showing the
Importance of the canning trade with
reference to the city's prosperity In
the forty establishments there are en-
employed probably 1900 men,
women and children, and it is not the
fault of the packers that the number
does not aggregate $4,000. The men
(expert workers) frequently earn
from $40 to sl5 per week, while the
women and girls make from 81 to SO
IN the same period. In cases where
whole families go into the packing
house and work conjointly with
common interest, however, the re
muneration becomes unusually high
for the laboring classes. Frequently
the father, mother, son and daughter,
the latter two being children, will
work together, and in "a week will
make between $40 and $50. The books
of the packerss show these figures, aud IN
