The Rich Arabs Dress.

The rich man among the Arabs dresses
richly. His shirt is of fine linen. His in
side vest is buttoned, the outside one
worn loose A long paletot often takes
the place of the latter. 1t is cut part
way down from the neck, and the loose
armhOles allow the arms to be held in or
outside. The wide trousers are bound
about the waist by rich scarf Over all
is frequently worn the long loose tunic,
cut V shape at the neck, and with short
sleeves low down. The hands are frequent
ly kept inside-in winter for warmth-and
an Arab reaches out from the V at the
neck for anything he wants handed him
with a peculiarly limited motion which at
first you fail to comprehend. The burpoost
is an out of doors garment, and the fez may
or may not have the turban cloth.
The swell wears European socks, and his
slippers, usual = trodden down at the hee
by the commoj or .areless, are handsomely
embroidered OF Of fine morocco, red or vel
low. The calf is naked. Parts of this dres,
are dropped at intervals according to the
weather or habit. There are few persons
more really magnificent than well dressed
Arab sheik or II man of wealth. In our days
of business suits, which cloak the godly anC
ungodly alike, the dress is uncommonly at
tractive-on an Arab. That it would sui

1t is absurd to say that the newspaper
office must be the only successful school
for would be newspaper writers. Modern
journalism has well defined practices and
principles that can be taught by one who
knows them~s well as in school of jour
nalism as in the Office of daily paper The
trouble with the schools of journalism that
have come into existence up to the present
time is that they have not been practical,
and that their conductors have not been
themselves adequately trained in the meth
obs of the modern newspaper world.
1t may be true that no amount of instruc
ton can make first class author or jour
nalist of one who has not natural talent
for literary work, but granting the posses
sion of such talent in some degree instruc
ton in literary art or in the principles OF
journalistic work cannot fail TO benefit the
pupil and to give him marked advantage
over one whose talent has been developed
only by experience without guide

An Episode In Autograph Hunting,

When Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain was made
a cabinet minister, he got hundreds of re-
quests for his autograph. For time he
answered each one in an autograph note,
but the labor involved became so great that
finally he had printed form prepared,
running, "Your request Of such a date is
hereby complied with" Then when an au-
tograph request came in he simply signed
this blank form and let it go at that

One of the most awful modes of punish
ment inflicted by the law invested barbara
ans of olden times was that jocularly re
ferred to by the old inquisitors rs "Luke's
iron crown" / can only find record of
one country-Hungary- it became
the recognized mode of killing criminals
convicted of enormous crimes land there it
was only used on regicides), but several
other governments are known to have used
it in aggravated cases. This mode of pun
ishment with an apostolic name consisted
of placing a crown of redhot iron upon the
head and leaving it there until the sizzling
flesh and bone burned away and allowed
the very brain of the writhing wretch TO be
fried to crisp before life had entirely left
the body. Could even a hoofed and horned,
spike tailed devil, fresh from the Internal
regions, devise more iuhuman method of
infcting the death penalty?
The term 'Luke's iron crown was APP
piled to this method Of legal killing be
cause it was first used in Kidding Hungary
of rebel named Luke DUsa Luke and his
brother George headed a revolt, and the
former allowed himself to be crowned king
by his followers. When finally taken by
the government, they made the crown bust
ness too hot for him''-an example to fu-
ture would be kings.-St. Louis Republic

Information About Lemons.

Lemons make very refreshing and thirst
guenching drinks, and the citric acid they
contain cools the blood. Although we as
rule think there is only one variety of lem
ons there are really two-Citrus lumia, the
sweet lemon, and Citrus limonum, the true
lemon. Citrus lumia is deficient in citrit
acid, therefore these are pleasanter to suck
or eat, like oranges, than Citrus limonum
For drinks they require the addition Of citrit
acid.
The lemons that are hard and have d
slightly greenish hue contain the most cit
ric acid. Lemons unless fresh soon gel
moldy-that is, in week or so. To pre-
vent them from doing this they should not
be allowed to touch each other If eaci
one is wrapped up ina sheet Of tissue paper

A Lee gentleman, who is in the habit of
reading after he goes to bed, tells us of a
queer experience he had recently. The
other night he had been reading newspa-
per and finally turned to the stand and
blew out the light preparatory to going to
sleep. As lie closed his eyes he was sur
prsed and not little startled to see Il big
black hand appear to his vision. 1t was
surrounded by Il halo Of light, and whether
he opened or shut his eyes the hand still
appeared with a long black finger pointing
downward
The gentleman is not classed as a spirit
ualist and says he is not superstiJious, and
thoughts of the apparitiOn as IL warning
that he was going down to perditon were
only momentary, as that fact was not news
to him. Still the hand staid, and he felt
uneasy and could not explain it, and as it
continued to point down he concluded that
it might be II warning that the Stockbridge
burglar was in the cellar. About this time
his wife heard noise that she could not
account for. That settled it. He got up,
lit a lamp and proceeded to the cellar,
lightly clad in nightshirt and hand lamp.
He did not find a burglar, but succeeded
in knocking over pan of milk, and when
he heard his wife scream he knew the fam
lily were awake and frightened. He swore
softly and mounted the stairs and restored
quiet. As he entered the bedroom The
Cleaner lay on IL chair, and there, boldly
printed at the head of an advertisement
was the hand. He had read the news, the
story, the advertisements and finally
dropped off into muse with his eyes fas
tened on the hand. The lamplight, white
paper and black printed fist" had left al
impression on his eyes that remained after
the light was extinguished-Lee Mass,

Solitude as an Agent In Education.

In tracing the career of Others who have
done more than for human progress, the
tendency to formulate the best in solitude
becomes apparent of each one. Goethe
found the quiet of early morning most
favorable for composition; the teeming
brains of the great physicist Helmholtz
and the mathematician CAUSE marked as
most productive the silent hours or walks
abroad in sunny weather: the universe
opened to Kant on solitary wanderings, and
the famous electrician, Werner Siemens
after being incarcerated in a fortress as
punishment for duel, declared that it
was with regret he regained his freedom
from an impls onment in which work and
thought had reaped incredible benefit from
solitude. Sheep and geese become restless
when separated from the flock; the eagle
and lion seek isolation. From quiet and
solitude spring the greatest thoughts, in
ventions and compositions of art; hence
their potentiality in character formation

An Enthusiastic Man From Cleveland Runs
Against IA Man From Buffalo.

Against IA Man From Buffalo.
A tall, solidly built man, wearing
checked suit of clothes, wide brimmed
straw hat and look of serene content,
stood leaning against the desk in the lobby
of an up town hotel.
After a time he began to talk to the clerk
He had loud, rasping voice, and what be
said could be heard all over the lobby I'm
from Cleveland" he rasped, Cleveland,
Ohio, the city that is knocking the spots
off of Buffalo. Greatest city in this coun-
try, with more natural and artificial advan-
tages than any other town in this country.
| Gle, DID,
"L.,use me, broke in little man with
percale shirt and red band around his
hat what place did you say you're FROM"
Cleveland, replied the solidly built man,
turning to the little man-"Cleveand,
Ohio, the loveliest and the best place in
the United States
| "Clevelandg" unused the little man.
"Clevelandg Some little place named after
the president, don't doubt"
Named after the PRESIDENT snorted the
solidly built man. Not on your natural
existence. Was there before the president
got through wearing short clothes. Will be
there after he's been dead million years
Greatest town in this country"
STRANGE" unused the little man again,
THAT never heard of it. Name seems kind
of familiar too
Say gasped the other, "do you mean
to stand there and say that you never heard
of the biggest city in oh 10, the city named
Cleveland, capital of Cuyahoga county and
the most prosperous place of its size on the
footstool;'
Can recall it now, aud I've had pretty
good education in geography too"
why, man, it's only $50 miles from
here"
Jaw, come off, said the little man, scorn-
fully. You can't make such bluffs as that
around here. Any of you gentlemen ever
heard of place called Cleveland, o. ?" he
asked, turning to little crowd of bystand-
ers.
Everybody looked serious, and each man
said that he knew of no such metropolis as
that referred to by the solidly built man.
BY this time the Cleveland man was hop
ping about in frenzy. Why" he shout
) ed, you blamed Buffalo men let your in
fernal prejudice against our city go so far
that you forget it is the proper thing to tell
the truth
Huh" said the little man, you make
us tired. Coming around here and making
bluffs about a town called Cleveland.
There's no such place on the map"
"Wh-a-t-'s thatt" gasped the solidly
built man. NO such place AS Cleveland
on the map? I'll just bet million cold
dollars that Cleveland's on every map that
can he produced in the city of Buffalo. Not
on the map? Why, you people are simply
doddering idiots"

manner. Say" he said, I'm tell you what

Some ingenious fruit dealers of Paris
have invented Il way Of coloring their wares
in order to improve their market value,
They color ordinary oranges deep red
making them look like mandarins, which
fetch higher prices. They tint pineapples to
make them look more attractive and dye
the common white Strawberries a lovely
red. Melons are treated in a similar way
and tinted a fine orange, their havor being
increased by injecting an essence OF lemon,
The latest development Of this business Is
in connection with pears, which are dyed
red for third Of their size, and blue below,
thus presenting the national color when
peeled. These are said 20 be in some de
mand for dessert fruit on account of their
novelty.-London Daily News,
