SOME ARABIAN ETIQUETTE.
To Inquire About Wife's Welfare Is .
Gross Impertinence.

To Inquire About q WIGS welfare O .
Gross Impertinence.
Social etiquette among the Arabs is
a factor in life to be considered ser
iously, if you wish to live among them
without friction. Its obligations are
not to be completely mastered in few
months. Sometimes when l have had
companions with me presumably
thoroughly au fait with all things
Mohammedan, the harmony OF the oc-
casion has been seriously endangered
by some thoughtleSSness or ignorance
on their part, which to the Moslenl
could appear only as a contemptuous
want of consideration.
No greater insult could be offered to
an Arab than friendly inquiry as to
the welfare Of his wife-to US a nat
ural civility, but to him gross i'm
pertinence bitterly resented. On one
occasion I nearly made q similar
blurder. I was invited by q neighbor-
ing sheik to go to see him, and was on
the point of riding up to his tent door
and dismounting there. Fortunately,
however. recollected in time that eti-
uuette demanded that should haltffty
yards off, and call in loud voice:
Have your permission to approach" "
This gives time to bundle off any OF
their womenkind who may be about,
preparatory to the admission OF 4
stranger.
1t is curious also to notice that, Ill
spite of the real effection existing be-
tween father anu son, the sense OF
respect dominates all other feelings,
and the sons will never sit 1T meat
with their father in the presence OF
guest, but will wait upon both until
the father, rising. allows them the op-
portunity of breaking bread with their
visitor

Worlds E:GCest Crop.

The average man if asked what IS the
most important crop Of the W"clo
would unhesitatingly say, wheat.
This is true in the United States, Dus
far from the case in the world as ?
whole. The first place must be given
the potato. OF all the staple crops Oh
the world the potato takes the hrsV
place, the annual crop being more than
100000. 900 bushels, against 2ooV'
100000 bushels of wheat and 2ooo'.
100000 bushels of corn. or the totai
potatoe crop Europe produces fully
seven-eigAts, asd one-hai1 times Is
much as her wat, and all the cereals
together are but so per cent more.
