Bedouin and Egyptians.

r. Talbot Kelly, the English arlst,
writes paper for The Century entitled IN
the Desert With the Bedouin," for which
he furnishes many striking illustrations.
Concerning the Arabs, Mr.. Kelly says:
Lacking education themselves, their re-
spect for superior knowledge Is great, ana
they eagerly listen to and absorb such IN
formation as may be CLEANED in their casual
intercourse with the peoples met during
their wandcrings. However, great as Is
their respect for knowledge, they hold
borsemanshp in still greater esteem, ana
I attribute much of my success In dealing
with the Arabs to the fact that GOULD
ride the half wild desert stations, in which
NV preyious experience of rough riding In
Marocco stood me in good stead. Indeed,
their contempt for their neighbors tho
Epyptians is completely expressed in their
common reference to them as "those dirty
Egyptians who cannot ride n horse"
i NAV here remark that in their habits
and persons the Bedouins are very clean
people-a claim the most ardent adullrer
of the Egyptians can hardly MAINTAIN ia
their case, and / have known OF Arabs
who. Obliged to cross the delta, have car
ried out with them sufficient desert sand
| with which to cover the ground before they
| would deign to pitch their tents or slt upon
the "dirty soil of Masr" Differing from
the Egyptians in many essential points,
their love for dumb animals is in marked
contrast to the cruelty practiced upon them
by nearly all classes in Egypt. But per
haps in no way is the contrast more clearly
shown than by the respect in which the
Bedouins hold their womankind. Moslemi
of the strictest type, they seem to pfactice
all that is good in Mohammedanisn, anc
avail themselves but little Of its license.

Will Be Inaugurated.
THE TRIP TO THE CAPITOL.

The Great Parade From Capitol to White
House-Contrast Between the Present
Display and That of Other Times-The
Great Ball In the Pension Building.
The first president of the United States
to take the oath in Washington was JEFF
ferson, and it is one of the traditions OF
history that he rode to the capitol, hitched
his horse with his own hand and went
without escort in to the senate chamber,
where he was sworn in. This story, though,
/, has another version, which is sustained by
some authority 1t is said that Jefferson
was living in boarding place not far
from the capitol, and on the day OF the
Inauguration he walked to the senate
chamber in very democratic way and en-
tered without escort. He went back to the
boarding house and sat, as was his custom,
at the foot of the table that evening, and
when some one offered to congratulate him
he said that he would rather be congratu-
lated at the end of his administration than
at the beginning of it. There is no doubt
of Jefferson's ''simplicity" in his official
relations. Though he had been accustomed
to the life of planter havinga small army
of slaves at his beck and call, he refused
to observe the ceremonies which Washing
ton and his friends had thought should be
n mart of the tribute to the great office OF
president, and he was found by foreign
minister one day backing his own boots.
Washington was escorted from his home
at Mount Vernon to Eli:abethport, spend
ing one night at Princeton, where he was
to be present afterward at a famous gradu-
alton day of the university; and at Trenton
young girls strewed flowers in his path.

Standard Time.

"Standard time" Is system OF time
established in this country
i'm 1883. 1t started among railroad men
and was adopted by the people at large In
October and November. Its peculiarly
consists in dividing the country into BELTS
of Is degrees each and taking the time OK
some important place within each belt as
tho standard time for all places IN that
belt. The time of any belt Is thus one
hour earlier than that of the belt west and
one hour later than that Of the belt east OF
IL. The eastern belt takes the time Oh
places on the rs degrees meridian west OF
Greenwich, and is thus just five hours
later than Greenwich time; central time Is
that of the 90 degrees meridian; mountain
time is that Of the 105 degrees meridian,
and Pacific time that Of the 100 degrees
meridian. In use the system saves the
necessity of changing ones watch 'contipu-
ally in travelling. For instance, before the
system was adopted, a person travelling
from Boston to Washington would have
from three to five different times to re-
member. He would leave Boston BY Bos-
ton time, Providence by Providence ttme,
New London by New York time, New
York by Philadelphia time and baltimore
by Washington time. Now he travels WITH
only one time, and that Is what he has to
begin with. If he goes west OF Pittsburg,
he sets his watch just one hour back; u
west of Bismarck, he moves 1t another
hour back, and II he goes to the Pacific
coast he sets it third hour baok--New

The snail's house is by no means tmpreg'

itself to the edge Of the shell with the AID
of its sucker and in this position waits pa
tiently for days. The snail puts of as long
as he can the fatal moment, till at last,
overcome by hunger or nearly stifled in his
prison, he decides to open his door. The
insect slips In and sets to work to eat the
unfortunate mollusk, which affords him
board and lodging gratis.

he delivered his inaugural address to the
senate. There was much perturbation
among the senator's over question OF etl- |
ouette ON this occasion. They were unable |
to determine whether they should remain
standing or seated in the presence OF tine
president. Without any agreement they
arose when Washington entered the cham
Der and remained standing while ne read
his message; for this first address was as
much a message to congress as an lnaugu-
raj address. Custom has changed tnls'
The president no longer addresses congress
in person. All his communications are
sent in writing. Besides congress Is not
in session nowadays when the president Is
sworn in. The senate meets at noon Oh inc
4th of March on the call OF the recurring
president. but the house does not meet I'M
til the new president issues prociama-
ton calling congress together.
Washington's Inauguration was witness
ed by q great throng Of people, and there
was much enthusiasm which lasted Tor
several DAVIS. All the incidents OF the In
anouration were not crowded into single
day. as they are now. The inaugural ball
was held several days after the day OF the
inauguration, but on the night Of that day
there were fireworks.

of the inauguration when Adams was
sworn in. Six months before he had made

With what anxious eyes 100000 people

is not encouraging. Most of them have
been bleak If not stormy, and clear
weather means so much TO the visitor ana
to the Washington man as well. For one,
there is the parade and the ceremony Mt
the capitol. For the other there is not only
pleasure, but profit, to consider. And
profits under any conditions are not going
to be what were expected this time. Fer
haps the hard times are to blame. some
people say the railroad rates are too hlgh;
some that the hotels, with their prices dou-
