1t appears that one OF the new coun-
tries which are next to surprise the
world is Siberia, notes Harper's Week
~. The surveyors and Investigators
who have been looking into its re
Dources and possibilities along the
proposed line of the trans Siberian
railway report, as is no doubt their
business, that it has most things that
ought to be stored in great unlevel-
oped country-minerals to burn and
Others to smclt, great stretches of agri-
cultural land, abundant wood navi-
gable rivers, and numerous other pos
sibilities Of emo!ument. 1t IS possible
that if ever the raw materials OF civil
ization which Russia controls are
worked up, the United States will be
relieved Of the embarrassment of be-
lieving itself to be the greatest thing
on earth.

Sin the Desert With the Bedouin,''
is tho title Of an article in the Cen.
turv, written and illustrated by the
English artist. R. Talbot Kelly. Mr..
Kelly says IN his article: Desert life
induces habits OF abstemiousness.
Rising with the SUD, dish of cumis,
or mares milk, and q small cup of
black coffee are the only 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 sundowu. One quickly he.

abstinence from any form of drink,
and the simple dinner OF night is more

huge fire of corn.coos is lighted in

in the mood, talk.
The Arabs have one excellent point
of etiquette: Talk for talks sake is
not expected. Ever ready for yarn,
they eagerly respond should you wish
to converse, but the luxury OF silence
is not denied if ones mood be
thoughtful.
The idea Of a fire il ones tent may
