LIFE I'M iii DESERT.
The Arabs Arc Abstenious and Enjoy the
Luxury az silence.

"In tho Desert With the Bcdouin'' liz
the title of an article in The Century,
written and illustrated BY the English
artist, r.. Talbot Kelly Mr.. Kelly says
IN his arSicle; Desert life induces habits
of absterniousness. Rising with the sun,
a dish Of cumis, or mares milk, and q
small cup Of black coffee are the Gniyy
refreshments generally partaken OF. The
day is spent following ones pursuits,
and, with the exception of an occasional
cup of coffee and some very light
''snack, . one has no meal of any kind
till after sundown. One quickly becomes
accustomed to long fasting and absti-
nence from any form of drink, and the
simple dinner at night is more keenly
enjoyed in consequence. Though plain,
the food is excellently cooked, and usu-
ally consists Of a huge tray Of rice, over
which is poured a dish Of SIENNA, or liq-
MD butter. Round the tray are pigeons
stuffed with nuts and spices, and the
pyramid of rice is surmounted by a lamb
or kid, frequently cooked whole. Boiled
beans, and perhaps a few fresh herbs,
appear occasionally, which, with the
usual fiat loaves and a large dish of riz-
bil-laban, or boiled rice pudding, com
plete the meal. Salt is seldom seen-a
distinct privation-except on the first
day of your visit, and drinking Svater is
often scarce. After dinner ahuge fire OF
corncobs, or sticks and camel dung, is
lighted in the tent, about which we
gather and enjoy the after dinner cup of
coffee and a smoke, and, should we be
in the mood, talk.
The Arabs have one excellent point OF
etiquette. Talk for talks sake is not ex-
pected. Ever ready for a yarn, they
eagerly respond should you wish to con-
verse, but the luxury Of silence is not
denied if ones mood be thoughtful.
The idea of a fire in ones tent may
strike some of my readers as a superfiu-
ity, but the nights are often intensely
cold, and after bathing in the sun all
day, with the thermometer at 80 to 100
degrees in the shade, the sudden fall OF
temperature t little above freezing
point is very trying, and, in spite of fire,
blankets and a thick ulster, | have fire.
