Freaks OF Language.

A peculiar kind OF blundcrfng known
as folk etymology" is responsible for
some Of the Queerest freaks of lam
guage An easy example will make
this clear, says Harper's Magazire.
Our American word "carryall" for a
kind Of vehicle is not compound Of
carry and AL" but slight distor-
ton of the French ''carriole," dimfn
utiye car. The change was made in
obedience to the universal tendency to
assimilate the unknown to the known.
to make words mean something by as
sociating them with others which they
resemble in sound. Often there is no
genealogical relation between the
words associated. as when sparrow
grass is made out of asparagus. This
particular corruption was once In such
good cOlloquial use that Walker, the
photographer, wrote "Sparrowgras is
SO general that asparagus has an air

The Times of India tells the follow
Ing story to show the character of the
Arabs OF Yemen. A man OF Zaraniks
who several times cut the telegraph
tines and who was punished more than
once was caught on one occasion by
an Arab sheik in charge of the lines.
The sheik intended to- send him to
Needy for imprisonment. but the wife
of the accused came in and stood as a
guarantee for his future good behavior.
The sheik accepted the bail and re-
leased him, bat shortly afterward he
again resorted to his old practice of
cutting the wires and bolted away to
another village at distance of a days
march. where he had another wife.
The sheik then sent for his first wife,
who stood security for him. and told
her he would disgrace her among the
Arabs if she failed to bring in her hus-
band.
The woman asked the sheik not to
spread the black sheet" Ia custom Of
the country when any one commits a
breach Of trusD until the following
day. She started that night, taking a
sharp dagger concealed under her
clothes, to the village where her hus-
band was staying, She found him

back to her home. The next morning
she went to the sheik and presented
the head of her husband, saying; Here

Springs and Wells Tn Palestine Are
Protected by Severe laws.
Water is the most precious thing In
Palestine, and the laws which protect
springs and wells are very severe,
Most Of the wells are artificial. Rich
men at very great expense have chls-
eled basins and reservoirs out Of the
rocks to receive the flow from springs,
and in many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance to
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheiks can afford
such an expenditure. Nevertheless,
they have not only been the greatest
benefactors of their fellow men, but
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments 10
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts of granite.
The temple of Solomon has vanished
forever, but the pools which he walled
up with masonry and filled with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham

mortal as their names and will live for
ever as long as men feel thirst.
According to Just custom of the
country, water rights could never be
forfeited. No man who owned well
might refuse his neighbor water for
his family or his focks, but the lord
Of the spring was inviolate. No cred
