Five Arab Maxims.

The wisdom OF the ancients is pro
verbal. Here are five maxims from
Arabia that viii stand the test OF
timei
Never tell all Tou know; fot he who
tells everything he knows often tells
more than he knows.
Never attempt all you can do; for
he who attempts everything he can
do, often attempts more than he can
do.
Never believe all you may hear; for
he who believes all that he hears often
believes more than he hears
Never lay out al you can afford; for
he who lays ott everything he can af-
ford often lays out more than he can
afford.
Never decide upon all you may see;
for he who decides upon all that he
sees often decides on more than he
sees.

THE YouRoUK COUNTRY.
Description of the Domestic Life OF
a Queer People.

Queer People.
Each tent has its spinningwheel and
its loom, hole for working the ped
ais of which is dug in the ground. and
all the women OF the tribe were en-
gagged in making the far-famed Kara
manian carpets. There is the wooden
mortar for grinding the roast coffee
berries in, the decoroted wooden plat
ter in which they cool the same, the
wooden water Jars made out OF the
followed stems OF pine trees. Every
thing almost they use Is OF wood, and
gayly decorated with rude patterns,
according to their fancy. When reap
ing, a YOurouk uses wooden gloves to
protect his left hand from the sickle.
When tending his flock, the Yourouk
shepherd has a long wooden flute, in
cased in a carved wooden case made
OF two bits OF wood glued together
and strung with ribbons and colored
beads across his shoulder, looking for
all the world like the African assegai
or some other primitive weapon OF
war In 1t he always keeps a long
stick with goat hair at one end to
clean it, and really the weird music
that he produces with this instrument,
known as the Maj, IS very striking and
suitable TO the surroundings.
In one corner of the tent are the bee
hives-lorg trunks OF trees followed
out and the ends stopped with dung
cakes The bees travel with them,
wherever they go, on the backs OF
camels, ard their honey resembles
cakes OF soap, for they boil it, wax
and all, before eating it. The Your
oubs have not the remotest idea of
letters, and carry on their transac-
tons with the outer world by means
OF wooden tallies-four-sided bits Of
wood, sometimes gayly carved, some
times Enthusiastically Magazine.
