AbAB OF THE DESERT.
HE is A FASCINATING FIGURE
UNDER THE PALMS.
eome Live in Houses Made of sun
Dried Red Bricks, While the Bedouins
lie i'm Tents, Which Are Camel
~soths Stretched over Bourhs.

one Of tue most fascinating figures
to be met with. especially If you meet
him at home, is the Arab of to-day.
The GASES are little islands of beauty
set in a sea of sand, consisting Of null
ttude Of palm trees growing where
there is sufficient water, for the Arabs
say that the palm stands with its feet
in the water and its head In the fires
of Heaven Without the palm the
desert, indeed. would be "uninhablted
and uninhabitabe."
There are some $50 cases in the Sa-
hara of various sizes. One of the chief
is Biskra, which has not less than l6O.-
700 palms, and from which we get large
quantities of our dates. To see, after
hours Of weary travelling. so many
palms in such a setting is a sight as
impressing as it is beautiful.
The French Sahara covers ID, 500
square miles, and $4,000 Arabs live in
1t. In the cases they build their houses
beneath the palms, which afford much
needed shade from the hot sun. sun
dried mud bricks are the chief things
used in making these houses.
Palm trees provide any timber neces-
sary. The houses are two stories high.
But for the low doorways one would
think they were high walls only. All
the internal light is obtained by an
opening on the courtyard, round which
the house is built.
The Arab home is somewhat of q
prison for the women, who are rarely
, seen abroad. They take their walks
: upon the fiat roofs, which are common
to all Eastern lands.
l But few Arabs live in houses. They
are great wanderers. Wherever you
] travel in Algeria you are always meet
. ing large caravans on the move.
These Bedouins live in tents. whicl
: are simply camel-clOths stretched owe
p boughs. For the most part they ar
i very poor and live on the produce of
c few sheep and goats.
But although poor the Arab is al
e ways picturesque. The European be
side Arab looks ridiculous. Let his to
s hat be ever so shiny, his clothes eve
50 wen nllliSs us lOIiu ever y
|, straight he looks at a disadvantage bC
e side the spare figure and the flown
draperies of the wandering BedouiI
whom he dcspiscs.
7. The Arab is poor without bein
abased He is sordid without bein
lie mercenary. Even his raggedness has
e grandeur about it.
The chief item in the Arab costun
TT is a white cloak called the burnou
,e which covers the whole figure.
d 1t has a hood which protects the hea
n from the sun.
10 Beneath this there are all sorts
lie gorgeous vests and jackets.
The legs are bare, but the feet a
m covered with rich red leather shoe
,e dyed with the juice of the pom
y granate.

will be seen tlan in the market pla

WANT
To Get Their
Money Back.
Night School Pupils
After Deposit.
Eleven Out of 81 Complied
With Conditions.

The night school has closed its win
ter term. and ii appears that those who
attended are anxious to receive their
money back. At the time the school
was opened. the Board required IL de-
post of $150 from all prospective pu-
pills. as IL guarantee of regular at
tendance and the care and safe return
of the books which might he used.
Now that the term is ended it develops
that of the 81 pupils who made the
deposit, but II complied with the stip-
ulation about attendance which provid-
ed that pupils must attend at least
three nights n week. All of the pupils
have been after their money, however,
and the clerk of the Board states he
has withstood siege. \ motion
made by Mr.. James to return the
money to all pupils who had complied
with all other conditions imposed
brought general discussion, and
when it came TO n vote. the motion was
lost. The stand taken by the majority
of the members was that the required
deposit had helped the average attend
ance greatly. as compared with the at
tendance last winter and they deter
mined to stand by their rule.

The Path OF Would Be
Truants.
Truant Officer Watson Visited l67
Homes In February.

The month of February was fair
" busy one for Truant Officer Charles
Watson. and in his monthly report 10
the Board of Education, Mr.. Watson
showed the figures which indicate his
activity. Akron grows rapidly, and
the number OF school children Increases
In proportion, so that there is an ever
growing amount of routine work to be
done by the Truant Officer, IN looking
after the pupils. discovering the rea-
son for absences, inquiring into the
cases of reported needy ones, and re-
naming relentlessly upon the paths
of truants until those malefactors are
landed safely back into school.
During February, Mr.. Watson made
1871 visits to the homes of pupils OH
some of these various missions, and
while only four truants were actually
apprchended and brought back to
school, the Truant Officers vigilance
was doubtless instrumental in prevent
ing cases of truancy 1t was found
necessary to bring only two trunn
Youngsters before the Mayor The con
dtion with reference TO the presence
of child labor in the local factories, Ii

Proper Food Makes Marvellous

Providence is sometimes credited
with directing the footsteps by so sim
pie way as the reading of food ad-

Ohios energy, one of the factors that

"All we ask is Il fair deal" remark
ed one of the gentlemen associated
with Mr.. G. w. French, of Massillon,
in the projects of the Chicago Short
Line and Richland & Mahoning Rail-
way companies. "The public has been
led to believe that our schemes were
visionary, but our filing of mortgages
showing that we have our plans fl
nanced should cause them TO hesitate
for a while before continuing their
assertions that the Barberton, Akron
~ Eastern has appropriated some of
our plans at a time when it was be-
lieved we could not go further, Just
let the public stand back, and they
will soon find out some things that Will
open their eyes"

Board of City Commissioners and see
if it were possible to secure Il passage
way between Summit st. and Broad
way, for the benefit of pupils of the
Bowen school who live east of the
