FOR NEXT YEAR.
The zest with which yachting carried on at
Newport this season is partly illustrated Ia the
fact that the Vaquero III started in ffty-hve races

Pembroke Jones is a former commodore OF the
Carolina Yacht Club OF Wilmington ~ c. which
is the oldest yachting institution In the country ex-

success of their former commodore the Southern
club gave cup TO be raced for at Newport called

Mr. Joness Carolina Many otner trophies were

decidedly ahead OF the game at the finish.

There Is such difference in the
colored people in the north and in the
SOUTH" said a southern woman. II
am often reminded of an incident
which occurred down in Tennessee
shortly after the war. The former
slaves were Just beginning to realize
that they were free, and that the new
order of things placed them legally on
a level with their old owners.
II was visiting in Nashville One
dayI was going about alone. Not be-
ing familiar with the city, had some
difficulty in finding my way to the
house wished to reach. Seeing an old
colored nanny standing on the cor
ner, / went over to her.
"She was type Of her class-large
and complacent. She wore an old cal
leo dress and had a turban on her
head.
"'Auntie,' said, can you tell me
the quickest way to get to B. street?'
"She drew herself up and looked at
me haughtily for full half-minute be-
fore she uttered word.
II wondered what l could have done
to offend her. Presently she let me
know, in very cutting tones.
"I amt yo' aunty.' she announced.
I amt yo' uncle. Use yo' ekal.'"

Few people have any idea Of the i'm
mense forest area in British India-a
valuable asset, which Is now being sys-
tematlcally preserved. At the present
time the reserves of the forest cover
an area of nearly $4,000 square miles,
and they may hereafter be further ex-
tended in Madras and Burma. where
the work of reservation is as yet in
complete. Outside these reserves are
about $1,000 square miles of state for
ests, some of which will eventually be
brought within the reserve area. This
means that there are in India, prac-
tically for all time, forests which would
completely cover the United Kingdom.
The mountain slopes of the western
Ghauts are still covered with the splen-
did vegetation of primeval forests of
the tropics and include the following
trees: Teak, ebony, ironwood, Indian
mahogany, sandalwood and the ubi-
quitous bamboo. In the provinces of
Quebec and Ontario, north of the st.
Lawrence river, there is one great con-
tinuous tract of forest, which extends
northward to Hudson and Labrador
and which measures altogether about
100 miles in length and 1000 miles in
width.

A Rnpacious Bird.

A curious Transformation in the hab-
its Of wild animals is reported from
New Zealand. where it is said the kea,
or mountain parrot, formerly vegeta-
rian, has in recent years been changed
into rapacious bird of prey. 1t is
unknown in the north island, but in
the south island 1t has become a ter
rible pest, killing over 10000 sheep a
year. 1t settles on the back of its VIC
tim, and with its powerful beak tears
hole over the kidneys. When it has
devoured this tidbit 1t leaves the sheep
to die and attacks another in the same
way. So war OF determination is be-
ing waged against this morally degen-
crate kea

"A year or so ago." said a visitor
from st. Louis. 81 made tour of the

party Of Northern friends. One after

girl from Iowa, made the round Of
Number Of native cabins near Man,

see bit Of life Of the squatters, II they
may be called by that name, and we
we're at our wits end to devise some
excuse for our visit to the houses. We
concluded that nothing would be better
than to ask for drink of water. This
We did at each place. We unwisely
frank in the doorways or just outside,
instead Of stepping into the cabin, and
soon the attention of pretty nearly all

lies was attracted At the seventh

Keeping His Promise.

"Can you build bridge over this
washout strong enough to take train
over" asked the conductor, looking at
his watch, "in two hours?"
Il can, sir" replied the section boss.
Then go ahead"
1t was then o'clock. At A the con-
ductor went down to inspect the work.
"How's this?" he demanded. Didn't
you say you could build bridge in
two hours that could run this train
over?"
mo, SIR" responded the section boss,
II said could build bridge you could
run the train over in two hours. 1t
amt none Of my business what you
want to run so thunderin' slow for, but
I'm maxim the bridge all right. It'll be

THE LONDONDERRY SITTER
ETIQUETTE OF THE DESERT
II IL An Insult to Inquire As to the We'll

II IL An Insult to Inquire As to the VOL
fare Of an Arabs Wife.
Social etiquette among the Arabs Is a
factor In life to be considered seriously
II you wish to live among them with
out friction. Its obligations are not to
be completely mastered in a few
months. Sometimes when have had
companions with me presumably thor
oughly au fait with all things Moham-
medan, the harmony Of the occasion
has been seriously endangered by some
thoughtlessness or ignorance on their
part, which to the Moslem could appear
only as a contemptuous want of con-
sideration. Thus, no greater insult
could be offered to an Arab than a
friendly inquiry as to the welfare Of
his wife-to us natural civility, but
to him gross impertinence bitterly
resented. On one occasion / nearly
made similar blunder. l was in
vited by a neighboring shiek to go over
to see him, and was on the point OF
riding up to his tent door and dis
mounting there. Fortunately, however,
l recollected in time that etiquette de-
manded that l should halt fifty yards
of, and call in loud voice: Have l
your permission to approach" This
gives them time to bundle off any Of
their womenkind who may be about,
preparatory to the admission of
stranger. 1t is curious also to note
that, in spite OF the real affection ex-
listing between father and son, the
sense of respect dominates all other
feelings. and the sons will never sit
at meal with their father in the pres
ence of guest. but will wait upon both
until the father, rising, allows him the
opportunity of breaking bread with the
visitor.
Provided, however, that you recog-
nize their social customs, my expert
ence has proved the Bedouin to be gen.
uine, warm-hearted friends; and they
really become greatly attached to those
whom they know and who know them.

Trials of q Fat Mnn.

"Yes," said the fat man, Il am learn

wife has long been telling me about
the fine bargains she has been getting

Arabs Value Water.

No one can travel among the Arabs
without being struck by the Importance
attached to the water supply. Where
a rich Englishman would bequeath
money to founding hospital or deco
rating church, an Arab can think OF
no other channel for his charity than
the construction OF fountain which
will assure him the blessings OF all
future generations. The Arabs have a
curious characteristic in common with
horses and other animals. They prefer
stagnant water, however bad in smell
and appearance, to the most limpid
running water, which, they assert, gen.
rally contains dfsagreeable medicinal
properties.
