Romantic Character of the Arabian,

The romantic character of the Arab
race is too well known to need more
than a passing allusion. The powp,. of
Mohammed lay in q great measure in
the charm OF his poetry; and the Ana
creontic bards of Arab were famous
among their fellows long before his
time. The Imagination IS excited by
the Wiz landscape of the desert in a
manner which the dweller in cultivated
lands can little appreciate. The fancy
OF the Arab peoples the wilderness
with ghostly and demoniac forms; and
the silence which oppresses the mind
IN such vast solitudes, where the cry of
the eagle or the bark of the iackal is
re-echoed by the naked crags can only
be known by those who have wandered
alone in such a region. Thus the ghoul,
the atreet, the ghostly wild goat, under
which form the demon appears to the
hunter, are creations of the imagina-
ton ever present to the Arab mind.
The tribes who love to tell the won
drous stories of Zir and Jandabah, the
fables of Lehman. and the songs of An
tar, are men of character very different
from the hopeless and timid peasants
of the Delta. The Koran appeals to
their imagination III u degree of which
the JeL{ahtn are incapable; and its le-
gends, its fine poetic images, its oft-re-
peated descriptions of paradise and of
hell, its claim to be reading made
plain in the Arab tongue to unlettered
men by an unlettered prophet, appeal
to the Bedawi of to-day, just as they
appealed to his ancestors twelve centu-
ries arO

Canker Worms and Lager Beer.

On the underside of almost anv APP
pie leaf to-day are u half-dozen black
lines. You can not see them without Q
careful inspection, but in week or Sc
you will not be able TO see anything G
else. They spread all over the tree as
quickly rs bad news spreads over a
community, and they eat up the leaves,
kill the fruit and burn the whole tree
all over until it looks as if fire had
visited it. 1t will be but short time
when the most disgusting sight to be
found will be the beautiful apple orch
ards
These nasty pests. the canker worms,
are now in their third successive wear
of appearance. The story goes that
they stay for seven years and then dis
appear for seven years; but about here
it seems to be nearly always some of
the seven years of their abundance.
They are among the most disagreeabl bic
of all the crawling objects They in
wade houses, go all over ones clothes,
and generally make themselves an ut
ter nuisance when out of place. and
when in place at their appointed work
they arc still worse.
Along in the time when hard cider
was the great drink, and apples ranked
as necessary preliminary to intoxica-
ton, the canker worm WAS unknown in
New England. Now, when lager beer
has come into its wide use and the ap-
pie is only desired as an article of
healthful diet, the canker worm turns
up IN full force and the apple is driven
from the field.=Harfford CO7Lrnllt.

Blankets Made Of Cow Hair.

''Have you any COW hair to sell?" a
wandering buyer asked tanner in the
presence OF a reporter for the New
York Mail and ETpre$3, q few days
ago. The tanner did have some of the
curious commodity asked for, and sub
mitted it to the would-be buyer s
scrutiny. The latter critically ex-
amined the lot and offered the owner 4
cents a pound for it.
Wondering what use cow hair could
be put to, the reporter sought to salts

A Statesman of the Old School.

! General James Findlay. who had
I served credltably IN the war of 1912,
4 was Jackson democratic representa-
( tive IN the DAYS of the contest between
! "Old Hickory" and "Biddle's bank -
He was type of a gentleman OF the
! old school, and the descriptions of him
/ recall Washington Irvinr's picture of
/ the master of Bracebrid@e hall The
| bluff and hearty manner, the corpu-
/ lent person, and the open couutenance
of the general, his dress of the aristo-
cratic blue and buff, and his gold-head-
ed cane. all Tailed with my conception
of the English country gentleman of
the olden time and the better type, and
his sometimes tender walk and goutv
toe gave evidence that, although he
possessed most of their excellences, he
also partoOk somewhat of their weak
nesses. He was greatly beloved in
OHIO, and several anecdotes are told of
his kindness in enforcing the claims of
the United States when he was receiver
| of the District land office, for lands
sold on credit. as was the custom in
| those days. Upon one occasion there
4 had been a general tightness in money
matters, and man flrms in The region
northeast OF Cincinnati bat partly paid
Tor were forfeited 10 the Government.
In the discharge of his official duty
General tindiay attended at the place
OF sale. He learned soon after his ar
rival there that many spectators were
present prepared to purchase these
lands. Mounting q stump, he opened
the sale. He designated the lands
aforesaid. and said that he was there
TO offer them TO the highest bidder. He
said that the original purchasers were
honest men, but that in consequence of
the hard times, they had failed to meet
their engagements. But if they had
more time the Government would lose
nothing. 1t was hard thus to be forced
from their homes, already partly paid
for But the law was imperative, and
the lands must be offered. "And now"
continued he, II trust that there is no
gentleman-no, | will not say that-I
hope there is no id rascal here so
mean as to buy his neighbor's home
over his head. Gentleman, l offer this
lot IOr sale. Who bids?n There was
no forfeited land sold that day. Cir
cumstances of this kind were some of
the causes of General Findlay's popu-
larty throughout his district; and con-
sequently, it was folly, in the days of
his vigor, to attempt his defeat for
congress. When he ran for governor
OF Ohio, however, in 1884, he was de-
feated by Robert Lucas. Ben: Perlev
