Arab and the Te,epbore

We had a party of Arabs along with
us and took them all over great news
paper office. Everything was wildly
astonishing to them. They had mag
ined that the Koran contained all the
knowledge and wisdom of the world,
yet here were the telegraph, the tele-
phone. the electrotype and the printing
press. The place was veritable en-
chanters' castle to them. They would
never have believed In the telephone II
l had not called up their hotel and got
one of their own party at that end of
the wire.
The dervish who had come along was
bold as well as pious. When he heard
that his friend five miles away was
talking through the instrument, he
made dash at 1t. He was greatly ex-
cited and yelled In megaphone voice,
He thought we were trlcking him, but
here was his friend talking Arabic. He
rolled his eyes at me In despairine
manner and then began a search fol-
devils. being quite convinced that the
phone was an invention of satan.-In.

A oueer Frontier Exnerience.

In narrating the frontier experiences
of 1.-THE First White Baby Born In the
Northwest" in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal w. Il Harwood tells of queer ex-
perlence that befell the family In the
first year after settling on a farm far
removed from the settlements.
The winter had been unusually long
and severe, and their stock of provi-
sions ran low. 1t was long distance to
the nearest base of supplies, and COM
munication with the outside world had
been cut off. Indians in the neighbour
hood one night broke into the granary
where the wheat was stored and stole
a quantity. In doing this large
amount of broken glass became mixed
with the wheat which the Indians left,
SO for many days, amid much merry
story telling and many a joke and
laugh, In spite of the serious situation,
the family gathered about large table
In their living room and spent the
short winter days picking over the
wheat, kernel by kernel, In order to
free 1t from the pieces of glass.
For this wheat stood between them
and starvation, and none of its pre-
cious kernels must be lost. Their stock
of flour had long since wasted away,
as had most of their food supplies, so
they boiled and ate the wheat without
grinding. Relief reached them Just In
time to prevent sad ending to the ex-
perience.

The Fir.t Rrlti.h Cen.a..

1t is significant of the invariable OPP
position offered to any innovation In
England that when the first proposal
for census was made In parliament
1t met with bitter hostility. 1t was on
March 30, 1853. that Mr.. Potter, M. P,
asked leave to bring In bill ''for the
taking and registering an annual ac-
count of the total number of people
and of the total number of births,
deaths and marriages" The ex-home
secretary's grandfather, Mr.. Matthew
Ridley, said that the people of New
castle regarded the measure as omi-
nous and feared-having regard, per-
haps, to the punishment awarded to
King David-lest some public misfor-
tune or an epidemical distemper should
follow the numbering. However, the
bill passed the commons and received
the support OF the government but was
thrown out by the lords.-London
Chronicle.

Women of Today.

What Is there that the modern woman
does not do excepting household work
She is a physician, a surgeon, truined
nurse and does not shrink from going to
the front in the tumult of war; She Is a
farmer, stock raiser, an expert In cattle
and horseHesh. She is stenographer, an
expert bookkeeper. She keeps store, con-
ducts and owns hotels. She Is dentist,
a hairdresser, barber.
She still holds her own trade Of dress
making and millinery, although man has
gone into these formerly exclusively fem
mime fields and. moreover, has competed
with her and "beaten her all hollow" at
cookery.
The piano, the violin, culture" busi-
ness and aspirations" have done sad
work with woman as cook, and in spite
of the lectures and also the schools and
all the practical demonstrations 1t Is to
be doubted whether woman Is doing very
much to retrieve her lost ground In the
misunderstanding Dispatch

rurkish women boating.

One of the few amusements OF which
Turkish women may avail themselves In
summer Is the boating on the Sweet Wa
tiers of Europe and Asia on Fridays and
Saturdays. These two rivers are crowd
ed in fine weather with graceful caiques,
which carry only two pleasure seekers
and require a special boatman. 1t Is q
brilliant sight, for the oarsmen appear In
white costumes, with silk or satin zouave
jackets embroidered In gold and silver.
Since the dress of the women permits
little variety OF color, they give vent to
their love OF brilliant hues In the parasols
which they carry even after sunset. Only
two of the caiques now retain the tradi-
tional furnishings Of carpet or piece of
embroidery training In the water on both
sides of the boat.

A correspondent sends us a remarkable
instance of adaptation Of instinct in a
trapdoor spider. Says the writer: "a
friend OF mine noticed near his camp a
trapdoor spider ran In front of him and
pop into its hole, pulling the lid down as
1t disappeared. The lid seemed 50 neat
and perfect n circle that the man stopped
to examine it and found, to his astonish-
ment, that it was sixpehce. There was
nothing but silk thread covering the top
of the coin, but underneath mud and silk
thread were coated on and shaped convex
las usual. The coin had probably been
swept out of the tent with rubbish"
Commenting on this, contributor to
Nature says: "As is well known, the
doors OF trapdoor spiders burrows are
typically made of flattened pellets of
earth stuck together with silk or other
adhesive material. The unique behavior
OF the spider in question showed no little
discrimination on her part touching the
suitability as to size, shape and weight OF
the object selected to fulfill the purpose
for which the sixpence was used."-Syd-
