The Arabs of Syria.

Among the Arabs of Syria a man
changes his name after the birth of
his eldest son, assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
heir, with the prefix Abu. meaning
father Of" Thus, if the son is called
Fudle Allah, Goods Bounty" the ia
ther will be henceforth known as Abu
Fudle Allah, Father of Gods Bounty"
In like manner the mother would be-
come known as En- Fudle Allah, Moth
err Of Gods Bounty" This custom is
not merely one of common speech, but
extends to all occasions and even to
legal documents. Still more strangely,
even when a man though married has
no son the courtesy Of oriental soci-
ETY. demands that he should be adj
dressed as Abu Salim or Abu Nah
moud, after an imaginary son whom
politeness confers upon him.

Why Americans Drink.

"Pleasureable emotional excitement
is a great relaxer," says a writer in
Ainslee's. Every kind Of work is
liable to leave the muscles and nerves
tense and overdrawn. We often BEE

rigidifying the face or attitudes and

tiers SITTER toll IL over. We Americans
lack the very words gemuth and esprit,
and it is very hard for US to entirely
forget the struggle for existence in So
cial intercourse. The careful studies of
Partridge and others showSthat the de-
sire for this kind Of unbendfng is one
of the chief causes that lead Ameri-
cans to drink, because they have lost
the power to feel the normal eXhilara-
ton which inebriation stimulates. In
stinct points to this as a great boon,
and so it is sought over cups and glass
es in the conviviality that comes from
artificial stimulation. A little more rol-
licking jollity, with jest and quip with
congenial friends, the tale, the song,
perhaps the quiet, harmless game that
does not overtax the system-of all
this we have too little in our stern
American life, with it's tendencies to
overtonicity and cramps Of will and at

The Bluejay.

One may pet or patronize, according
to ones nature, chipping sparrow,
bluebird or phoebe, but he is indeed
we'll coated with self esteem who does
not feel a sense of inferiority in the
presence of a jay. He is such a
shrewd, Independent and aggressive
creature that one is inevitably led to
the belief that he is more of success
as a bird than most men are as men.
Conspicuous by voice and action dur
ing the fall and winter, when other
birds are quietest, he becomes silent
when other birds are most vocal. If he
has a love song, it is reserved for the
ear of his mate. -, At this season he
even controls his fondness for owl
batting and with it his vituperative
gifts. The robin, the eatbird and the
thrasher seem eager to betray the loca-
ton of their nests to every passerby,
but the bluejay gives no evidence of
the site of his habi.ation by being seen
in it's vicinity.-Frank M. Chapman in
Century.

Rat. and Mice and Larr. Animal.

Rats and Mice and Large Animals.
How many people are there who
know that elephants, rhinoceroses and
other large thick skinned animals have
formidable enemies in rats and mice?
These small, raseally rodents have
found that the feet of the elephant are
excellent eating and have no hesitation
in gnawing at them when the animal
lies down. when, owing to it's confined
condition, it is not very we'll able to
defend itself against it's puny enemies.
To protect these vast creatures 1t is
found necessary in most meDageries to
keep terriers about the cages. These
little fellows very soon dispose Of the
pachyderm's tiny adversaries. 1t was
recently discovered in a we'll known
menagerie that the mice and rats had
been very busy with the hide of rhi-
noceros. A Scotch terrier, Fanny, was
put into the cage of the huge beast, and
in the first night she had killed no few
er than twenty-seven rats. In few
days there were no rats left to nibble
the hide of the poor rhinoceros.

Curious Translation Errors.

Some amusing errors are made by
translators. An Italian paper turned
Kipling's discontinued Beggar' into
Distracted Mendicant." Another
Italian editor who translated a pas
sage from an English paper about a
man who had killed his wife with a
poker added an ingenious footnote to
say, 1--WE do not know with certainty
whether this thing 'pokero' be domes-
tic or surgical instrument" The des-
perate expedient of the French trans
lator of Cooper's -'Spy," who had to
explain how horse could be hitched
'te a locust" is worth recalling. He
had never heard of locust trees and
rendered the word by "sauterelle," or
grasshopper. Feeling that this needed
some explanation. he appended foot
note explaining that grasshoSapeps

Necklace of Ants.

A necklace made of black ants is an
article of adornment of New Guinea.
The Anglican mission there gives par
ticulars of one which measured oyer
eleven feet long and was composed of
as many as 1900 bodies Of ants. Three
little pieces Of she'll and a dozen Eng
lish beads were incorporated into it.
and there was native string holding
it together. yet it's weight only reached

large black ants make big nests in the

and girls catch them, pull off their
heads, bite off and swallow the other

A MAN AGAINST A NATION.
The Most Curious European War
That Ever Was Waged.

The Most Curious European War
That Ever Was waged.
The most curious European war ever
waged was that which in the sixteenth
century, the period of the reformation
and the renaissance, was carried on
single handed for between five and six
years between a bankrupt grocer of
Berlin and the elector of SaXony, who
was the most powerful German prince
of the period. The grocer's name was
Hans Kohlhase, and the immediate
cause of the quarrel was the arresting
Of two of his horses in the electors
territory, he being a subject of the
elector of Brandenburg. Failing to get
redress, he adopted what was then a
perfectly legal eXpedient and declared
formal war on the realm of Saxony.
The declaration was accepted in due
form, and the war began.
The extraordinary part of the story
is that the grocer kept the war up for
nearly six years practically single
handed and even went to the extremity
of declaring war on his own sovereign
in the meantime before he was caught.
He burned farms and even villages,
employed mercenaries after the fashion
of the times and made himself the ter
ror of the district. He was finally in
fiuenced to stop hostilities by Luther,
and after he had taken the sacrament
from his hands he was betrayed into
a further act of hostility by treachery
and, being captured, suffered death on
the wheel after refusing an act of
grace which granted him the painless
and honorable death Of the sword. The
story is perhaps the strangest Of all
the romanceS of that-romantic age.

HARDY suWARoFF.
Peculiarittes Of One Of Russia's
Great Military Commanders.

Peculiarittes Of One Of Russia'S
Great Military Commanders.
Suwaroff, Russia's great military
commander, was little man, insignifi-
cant in everything but that intangible
power of mind and character with
which physical strength is never to be
compared. He had been sickly in his
youth, but became hardy under the
stimulus of cold bathing and the bene-
fits of a plain diet. Buckets of cold
water were thrown over him in the
morning, and his table was served with
fare which guests would fain have re-
fused, but dared not lest he should
think them effeminate. He despised
dress and delighted in drilling his men
in shirt sleeves, sometimes with his
stockings literally down at the heel"
I But his hardihood of life and action
had it's effect on the men he command
midnight and would salute the first
soldier whom he saw moving with a
piercing cockcrow in commentator Of
his early rising. During the first Po-
lish war he had given orders for an
attack at cockcrow, and spy in the
camp carried the news to the enemy.
The attack, however, really took place
at 9 O'Clock in the evening, when the
arrangement had been made, for
Suwaroff, suspecting treachery, had
then turned out his troops by his well
known growing. The enemy, expect
ing the event in the morning, were en-
tirely unprepared and fell easy victims
to his forethought.
Tomorrow morning." said he to his
troops on the evening before the storm
ing of Ismail, ''an hour before day
break mean to get up. I shall wash
and dress myself, say my prayers, give
one good cockcrow and then capture
Ismail." ~

The Sensitive Tortoise.

Few animals seem more impassive
than the tortoise, but those who have
ever watched it's movements know that
the creature IL really very sensitive.
A few drops Of rain will send It home
with all speed. Even the distant ap-
proach of 4 shower makes it uneasy.
Hence Gilbert White remarked that his
tortoise showed "as much solioituae
about the rain as lady dressed In ail
her best att1re."
The bright light of TIE sun sssass
especially grateful to tortoises. They
rarely stir out at night. snd the ap-
proach Of winter drives them into their
retreats. This physical sensStiveuess
shows their temperament ts be less
sluggish than Is commonly supposed.
The animal also learns to recognise
persons and remembers those who feed
it, instantly distinguishing them from
strangers.

Zeal and Knowledge.

The Outlook crowds an unusual
amount of practical wisdom and good
sense into the following paragraph:
zeal without knowledge, often con-
demned, is more valuable than knowl-
edge without zeal, often commended,
for zeal without knowledge inspires
life. and life acquires knowledge; but
knowledge without zeal sits in it's
study, plays with its books and does
nothing. All the greatest things in life
have been accomplished by enthusi-
asts whose zeal was greater than their
knowledge"
