ETIQUETTE OF THE DESERT

IL Is An Insult to Inquire A. to the We'll

Social etiquette among the Arabs is a

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 MS a natural civility. but

preparatory to the admission of a
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

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 it has become a ter
rible pest. killing over 10000 sheep a
year. IL settles on the back of its vic
tim, and with its powerful beak tears
a hole over the kidneys. When it has
devoured this tidbit il leaves the sheen
to die and attacks another in the same
way So a war OF determination is be-
ing waged against this morally degen-
crate kea.

Arabs Nniue Water

No one can travel among the Arabs
without being struck by the Importance
attached to the water supply Where
rich Englishman would bequeath
money to founding hospital or deco
rating church, al Arab can think OF
70 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. gem
rally contains disagreeable medicinal
properties.

Few people have any idea of the im-
mense forest area in British India--a
valuable asset, which is now being sys-
tematically 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 $4,000 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-
tinuons tract OF forest, which extends
northward TO Hudson and Labrador
and which measures altogether about
LOO miles in length and 900 miles in
width

GRIEF IN WASHINGTON.

There is real grief in Washington on
account OF the sinking Of the Spanisl
The age-herald., 1898-04-08
Hanna's Side Partner.

When Utah was admitted as state-New Mexico and Arizona being excluded-a bar gain was struck between the Mormon hier- archy and the republican party, by the terms of which the former were to control the state and local affairs, and the latter to have the support of Utahs representatives at Washington. A twin relic thus became a working partner. Under this bargain the "Gentiles'' are completely debarred, if not disfranchised, and Mormonism is as tri- umphant and supreme as it was in the days of Brigham Young.
 It now appears that the bargain, so char acteristic of republicanism, is a bargain in support of polygamy itself, although a pro- vision in the state constitution prohibits plural marriages In the lesser towns of the state, in the back districts, the practice of polygamy goes on unchecked. It's existence is not even denied at a place called Rich field, where a controversy has arisen, not over the practice itself, but over any pub lie criticism of it. In other words, Nor mondon holds that SO holy a. practice one so long taught and so interwoven in their religious system, must not be publicly con- demned.
