Mr.. BLAINE's appeal to Irish
Americans to vote for the man who
had kicked him out of the cabinet
and by the aid of packed National
convention kept him out Of the Presi-
dental nomination was heroic but
useless. Many Irishmen who on ac-
count of their personal admiration
for the man supported Mr.. Blaine in
1884 and would have done the same
this year had he been nominated are
working hard for the democratic par.
y, to which they naturally belong.

Expenses of O Big Hotel.

The season now closed at Coney Island
has been the busiest the island has known
for years, and yet it is serious question
whether the hotels there have made any
money in the long run. Some Of the
smaller may, but not the larger. It is q
notorious fact that they have not been
fortunate for seasons past, and that last
year the question of reopening was debated
for some time before it was undertaken.
The rush of the people and the prices
asked would seem to suggest profit, but
the crowd must be big one to make the
appearance a reality. Few outsiders
realize the magnitude Of the business Of
summer hotel keeping or the quantity of
supplies needed to keep the caravansary
going. Some of the statistics may interest
Il not surprise the average visitor to the
seaside. A recent glimpse at the books Of

pany shows that for one month of last
season the supplies for the Manhattan
Beach and Oriental hotels cost as follows

the field, by the roadside, and on one oc-
casion when the guest of village pro-
prietor near Mount Hermon the Arab
waiter used the tirne between the
courses going through his devotions.
He can Guido the most Jealous minis
ter in religious conversation. The
name of God is upon his lips constantly
Lsshallzh, Masho5laA, Bismillab and
many other words containing the name
of God, or Alah, are almost as common
as propositions and coujunctions.
While some of these expressions seem
at first to the stranger as exceedingly
novel and devout, he soon learns that
these apparently religious phrases have
entirely lost their significance. No
race is more profane, no race more
abominably filthy in common converse
ton, no race is capable of such unique,
varied and pow erful cursing and
invective as the Arab. He is a child of
superstition. He believes in the evil
eve and uses charms to ward off the
baleful influence. Little children wear
blue beads braided into their front hair
and horses have blue beads braided
into the bride. The spirited little
sorrel that carried me safely for six
weeks over mountain and plain had
blue beads strung into his bride.
The Arab woman is burden bearer
She presides in the midst of the filth
and vermin of the household. She tat
tooes her face, between the eyes, at the
corners of the mouth and the entire
chin, sometimes also the lip. The re.
suit is to add to her hideous ugliness.
She grinds the meal in stone mills,
weaves the cloth, makes the butter 1t
is death to an Arab girl to lose her vir-
tue. The married women are not SO
scrupulous. The men dislike to men
ton the females of the household, and
it is an affront for an ordinary ac-
quaintance even to allude to them.
Everything is easy but women and the
mention of them" ''The only religion
for woman is to stay at home.
In spite of the dark picture we have
drawn of Arab life in general among
the Bedawin it must not be forgotten
that here and there the pure and noble
ideals of Christianity are impressing
them. Rev Mr.. Huber, the missionary

at GAIA, is much beloved by the Arabs
of that region. Sheikhs will leave their
treasures in his possession knowing
they are perfectly SAFE They refer
disputes to him, for they have unbound
ed confidence in his integrity. They
know that he means what he says.
Would that every white man thus
favorably Influenced the Arab.
Quite distinct from the Bedawin are
the jewellers in towns and villages,
called follcheen. They seem to be dis
tinct race, though speaking much the
same language. They build their
houses, cultivate their fields, dress,
transact business about the same as
four thousand years ago. More sus-
ceptible to improvement are they than
the Bedawin OF the desert. From
among the fellalaeen choice young men
are attending the American college at
Beirut. The magic power of the new
world has touched the youth of this
region. Within the last few years lit
orally thousands have gone from the
Lebanon region to America where they
i'm to carry on livelihood by peddling
syrian curiosiGies. But the sheil1h of

and fine eyes indicating an imperious
nature. Some of the sheilxhs have as
fine countenances as have ever beheld
1t must be said, too, that there is GER
tain degree of hospitality and honor
among them. After you have eaten
with a sheikh you are his brother. You
have eaten his salt. Your life and
property are afterward safe in his
hands, and he will defend you.
The Arabs criticise Europeans be-
cause they have no salt brotherhood.
He prizes his horse, but one rarely sees
among them full-blooded Arab steed.
The mares are carefully cherished for
breeding purposes. Rarely does man
own his horse entirely. Hefwill own
the head and another man will own the
body. The Arab horses trot very poor
ly, but they run like the wind. An Arab
will for hours put his horse to swing
ing gallop without much fatigue to the
animal.
In all frankness it must be said that
the children Of Ishmael are unconscious
able liars. They have proverb which
runs: "a lie is the salt of man"
Without any reason they will dissemble
and mislead as if somehow it were not
in good form for an Arab to be frank
and STRAIGHTFORWARD. Hence the Eu-
ropean must be on his guard, remem-
bering that he is in the land where
Laban deceived Jacob, and Jacob de-
ceived his father, and was deceived in
turn by his own sons. They are ex-
ceedingly quick-witted and long headed,
skillful in making a bargain and pos
sessed with an absorbing desire for
money. The first desire an Arab has
in meeting European, OR a 6 FrGnSaaos,
is to get a ''6acksheesh," or present from
him If there is one word. which the
traveller in Syria will remember to his
dying day it is this word ''backsheesh.
1t must be recorded also that the
Arabs are robbers. Ever since the days
of Gideon, when the Midianites roamed
over the rich plains of Israel and cap
tured their grain and docks, have the
tribes of the Jordan valley been accus-
toned to make inroads upon the rich
plains of Esdraelon and Sharon, to the
disnlay of the villagers. These incur
sions have not been so great within the
last few years, and tourists may travel
in comparative safety from Dan to
Beersheba. Yet single travellers are
never safe. Rev. Mr.. Crawford, OF Da-
mascus, told me recently of his expert
ence some years ago, when he was lit
orally stripped; his horse, baggage,
shoes were taken, and he was left shlv-
ering in his shirt and drawers amid the
icy winds of Lebanon. To-day parties
must secure an escort from Jerusalem
to the Dead sea. THE Bedawin claim
that country" said DIR. Selah Merrill,
the American consul at Jerusalem, land
will promise immunity only to those
who are escorted by one of their num-
ber.' For this escort from five to six
dollars must be paid. Some few months
ago German, disregarding the caution
given him, started from Jerusalem to
go down to the Jordan, believing that
the Lord would take care of him. About

The Sons of Ishmael are now, as
anciently, children of the desert. They
are as free as bird. They shun the
sitting life of village and city, living
out in the open and traversing noun
tain and plain with their camels, goats
and sheep. From the slopes of Lebanon
to the rich meadows of Egypt they
wander. Various tribes have in gen.
eral way possession of certain local
tiles. but they roam about very freely
The Arab sheikh has been picturesque
figure from the days of Abraham
until now, and no part of journey in
the orient is more strange to the
traveller than the habits and customs
of these nomads.
Arabic is the language of the Bed
awin. The dialects vary with the tribe.
1t is harsh, cultural tongue, many OF
the sounds being uttered far back in
the throat, so that sometimes the word
seems cross between gulp and a
gargle. It seems almost impossible for
the traveller to secure few hundred
words for daily use, but it is almost in
vain to hope to possess comprehensive
knowledge of the literary language OF
the koran, for there are nearly ten
thousand roots.

sheilh, or chief, usually stands apart,
and is distinguished from the rest by
his spear stuck in the ground near by.
The Arab and his horse have been

Bless. then, the meeting and the spot;
For once be every care forgot;
LET gentle peace assert her power,
And kind affection rule the hour.
We are all-all here.
We're not all herei
Some are away-the dead ones dear,
Who thronged with us this ancient hearth,

Looked in and thuned our little band.
Some like a night-f1ash passed away,
And some sank lingering day BY day.

And cruel ocean has his share,
We're not all here.
We are all here!
Even they-the dead-though dead so dear
Fond memory, to her duty true,
Brings back their faded forms to view
How life-like through the mist of years
Each Wel-remembered face appears!
We.see them, as in times long past;
From each to each kind looks are cast;
We bear their words, their smiles behold
They're round us, as they were of old,
We are all here.
We are all here
Father, mother,
Sister, BROTHER
You that love with love so dear,
This may not long of us be said.
Soon we must join the gathered dead,
And by the hearth we now sit round
Some other circle Will be found.
Oh, then. that wisdom may we know,
Which yields a life OF peace below,
So in the world to follow this,
May each repeat, in words of bliss,
We are all-all here!

sprang out upon him, and, in the mani

marched off nearly naked, singing a
hymn of praise. The Bedawin thought
him crazy, and, as an insane man is to

and then hurriedly departed. It is
needless to say that his faith in
