Arab Lying,

The following characterization of the Arab penchant for not telling the truth Is from q paper by Dr. c. Saint-Paul on the Tunisians: Arab lying Is ex- asperating. It is absurd and victorious. It triumphs easily over the critical sense and the habit of scientific req soning. It is sometimes childish. Your native servants will never be taken unawares. You forbid one of them to smoke in your dining room and you surprise hlm there with cigarette in his mouth. You were smoking No I saw you Tmpossible.' You had cigarette in your mouth; you are hid ing it in your hand; there 1t isv Then God put it in my hand The native denies always. Taken red handed he denies. Beneath blows he denies. Pain is sometimes powerless to make him confess. even at the point of death. This obstinacy Is due in part to the high idea he has of his dignity. His pride forbids him a confession, be- cause the avowal of his lying is in- finitely humiliating in his eyes. The fear of losing face is all powerful in him. To recognize a fault is more shameful than to have committed it. Hence the peculiar obstinacy of the native In denying, even when 1t would be to his interest to confess, an ob- stinacy not manifested in other ways" Journal of American Folk Lore.

 They had been visiting and while sway had been given such delicious homemade biscuit that the memory Of them still fingered in the mind Why shouldn't they have sucN things them selves? The mistress of the house de cided that they should, if she had to make them herself What good wife would not be willing to take little trouble to please her husband? So in this virtuous frame. of mind she repair. ed to the kitchen, and there she stirred up her biscuit in the most approved fashion, shaped them dainti)y and put them in the pan. But she was not ac. Customed to this work, and it was not strange that she should forget some of the ingredients Itwas the baking pow der, small but somewhat important item in the construction of light bis. cult. She did not once think of it until the biscuit had been in the oven few moments Then, as sho stood gazing admiringly at the outside of the range, WhiCn Soutaiucu JHiS pIcClUNS pfUul OI her culinary skill. sue suddenly ex- claimed:

PLAGUE OF LEGISLATORS.
Why Some of tho States Once Had I've
 Capitals.

Baton Rouge freely translated means red stick. That is the limit of my un. derstanding of the affair, however. It Is quaint old town, consisting chiefly of river. When I studied geography several decades ago, knew that Louisi. ana had two capitals, one at New Or. leans and the other at Baton Rouge. They have got tired of entertaining legislators at New Orleans of late years and have unloaded the whole job upon the smaller and more nearly defenseless city.
 Looking back to those old days, I TO. call that Louisiana was one of the very few states which required two vents for their legislatures. Connecticut was one, with Hartford and New Haven as cap. itals, and Rhode Island, the smallest of states was another, with Providence and Newport. Of late years there has been sort of centralization of capitals. The fashion of having one at every en. terprising city ill state has fallen into disuse. You might tramp all over any of the states nowadays and not run the risk of laundering into legislature in full blast where 1t might have been least expected I asked the Pocatello man what he thought was the reason for the wealth of capitals in earlier times.
 "In those days" he said "the states were young and tender and had not fully developed their muscle and their power of resisting great assaults It was therefore to distribute the evil of legislature sitting over great deal of country so as not to give any particular city the worst of it. As time went on and town showed especial hardihood and ability to stand great calamity the legislature was switched upon it as perpetual and permanent institution. New Orleans and Newport and other towns which in other days were capitals had the good luck to draw two aces and to win out, sending the legislature in the one instance to Baton Rouge and in the other to Providence It takes game town to stand q persistent plague of legislature.

The Robber Crab.

In Central America there lives the robber crab, of almost incredible size and somewhat resembling a huge spi- der The distance between its extend ed claws is sometimes as great as twelve feet. It spends the greater part of its life on land and climbs the COCOA nut trees on the fruit of which it lives almost entirely. It digs in the ground deep tunnels and lines them with CO., coanut fiber.
 When engaged the robber crab can break a mans limb with its powerful claws. Animals approaching it too closely often receive an ugly pinch which they do not soon forget, and 1t is on record that one of these crabs has captured and tried to drag off goat
 To open a cocoanut the robber crab removes the bark from the end con taining the three eyes, one only of which is easily penetrated, and, having found this, 1t evolves the nut against the point of one of it's spindle legs un til the opening Is large enough for it to insert its great claw. With this it breaks the shell, grnds the contents into small pieces and carries them to It's mouth.

Boston the Literary Center.

The assertion that Boston was the lit erary center-without quotation marks during the period in which American literature acquired shelf Of Its own In the library of the race Is hardly open to dispute. The production of books possessing something like pcrmanence is perhaps the most characteristic mark Of center to which the term literary" in its true meaning of related to liter ature" may be applied. Name the Amer ican writers whose work has stood the test of half century. and, with few notable exceptions. they belong to Bos- ton and its neighborhood. All this is thrice familiar? The record of 1t in out line or detail is story which has been told by many tongues and many pens.- M. A. Dc Wolfe Howe in Atlantic.

COURTlNG IN IRELAND.
Lovers and LOvemaIsing Tn the Land
 of the Shamrock.

The Irish way of courting in the old days and in quiet country places even to the present day was and is very diff ferent from that style of thing which makes the subject of many finely paint cd romances. There were no stolen in- terviews, no twilight walks, no thought of kisses or even hand clasps-in short, no ovemaking whatever. But if they were at reaping or haymaking Peter took his place next to Rosie. helped to bind her sheaves when his own were done and at monday took his share of soda cake and his draft of milk from her hands. Then in the quiet evening, when the work was done and the even- ing meal was over. Peter would rise and look out of the door and say to his father or sisters: "'Tls fine night. think I'll go for bit of stroll" And the bit of stroll inevitably ended on the narrow path through the whin bushes up to the stile. over which 1t was but three steps into Alec McCros- sans haggard. and then across to where the firelight shone welcoming through an open door.
 Around the fire the family circle was widened to make room for him. as a matter of course. Maybe he took a draw at the pipe. and maybe he didn't. Anyhow he would sit there quiet and contented for long enough. talking all the time to McCrossan or the nelghbor men. but with quiet. happy eyes watch. Ing Rosie. the loved and chosen one. as she sat in the ilickering light or moved about the room. And there was a gleam In her eyes and Il smile on her lips which told him he was welcome and bnde him stay long and come again soon. and In his heart was firm re- solve. as soon as ever he saw his way to marrying. that he would have Rosie and no other.
 This, fin spite of all that is written In story books and silly romances or shown on the stage. Is the recognized and seemly Irish way of courting.- Donahoe's Magazine.

Morality Versus IntcIlcctuality.

As man grows older he perceives that the moral qualities are worth q good deal more in friendship than the intellectual qualities and that no bril- uancy of mind, no charm of conversa- ton, can make up for lack of loyalty. charity md generosity in social inter course. Young men of brains are dis posed to value mainly mental power in other people, and it is human quality to forgive much in men and women of genius. This is a false ap- preciation of the respective values of mentality and the moral qualities. The time comes when man learns that unselfishness and affection are better fin wife or friend than intellectual pow CT accompanied by intense self love. Fortunate the man who does not come to this knowledge too late.-San Fran cisco Bulletin.

Greek EORea.

We learn that the nose of Socrates was not Greek, but such as Greek art ists usually assigned to satyrs. Occa- sionally. as in beautiful group of a satyr playing dice with nymph on a bronze mirror, they gave satyrs anoth- CT kind of nose. The noses of the la dies in the Tanagra terra cotta are of all agreeable orders of nose, not neces- sarily Creek The chances are that the Greeks varied as much as we do in their noses. while the tradition of their art preferred the conventional straight nose. In the same way the kind of Ro- mans who had their portraits done on coins and gems were just the sort of energetic, conQuerlng people who have Roman noses everywhere. like William of Orange and the Duke of Wellington.
