HOSPITALITY IN THE ORIENT.
Inpertinent Curiosity of Turkish
Villagers Toward Strangers.
Harper's Weekly.


The villagers who entertain the
stranger in the houses naturally
enough expect him to talk to them.
for thus only can he give them the re-
turn they anticipate for their hospital
ity; as a general rule, they will accept
no remuneration for the food and
shelter they give, but they do expect
payment for the feed of the animals.
The conversation one has to carry
on with the host and the other viii
layers who drop in to see and pay
their respects to the stranger is enter
tanning and even amusing as long as
one is a novice in the country, be-
cause it is unsophisticated prattle,
such as one must have heard in Eu-
rope in the middle ages. One un-
falling topic is the rotundity of the
world. the negative side of the ques-
ton being always defended. They
cannot believe that the sun remains
stationary-for why should they dis
regard the evidence of their own eyes,
which show them that it does move
across the vault of heaven? They
ask how much tribute your country
men pay to the Palishah (whom we
wrongly call sultan.) whose foot is
upon the neck Of all nations, as they
firmly believe; they inquire rninutely
into your business at home and yoZr
reasons for travel in their country,
etc. They handle with childlike joy
and amazement your rifle and revol-
yer, your knife. pen, pencils, your hel-
met and clothing and the women can
never have enough of feeling and
fondling your socks, which are more
evenly and closely knit than their
backwoods, homemade article.
One must submit to an examination
of this kind wherever he stops, often
several times day. Finally It pals
on the travelled, unless he be gifted
with the patience OF Job. and from
that moment he tries to avoid village
hospitality. A further reason for
such avoidance is the fact that the &C
ceptance of the hospitality Of villag-
ers makes it. impossible for the trav-
eler to put into durable form his road
notes of the day. while matters are
still fresh in his mind. For the
scientific traveller or the archaeloglst
this is Of the utmost moment. Now,
among Turks writing in the house
of YOUR entertainer would simply be
impolite and a boorish return for the
hospitality, but the Arabs regard the
man who writes or draws as a spy,
and will not permit it at all.

Big Bear Hunt at Chappels.

Greenwood Index.
The Chappell's correspondent OF
the Saluda Standard tells OF bear
hunt, which is rarity in this section
of South Carolina in this day and
generation. The story is good one
"On last Saturday evening trusty
of Mr.. J. R. Webb's was sent to the
pasture to get his COWS but could not
find them. EARLY on Sunday morning
. the 'trusty,' Pig Watson, went TOR
the COWS and found the cattle scatter
ed and very much frightened. Pig
soon found some wild varmint, bear,
wolf, tiger or wild cat. His descrlp-
ton was: "It has long body, short
ears, and great pompadour as large
Is nv hat, huge back and awful
eyes said it was on the back OF one
of the COWS and had the cows tongue
choked out.
Having heard this, Mr.. Webb got
all of his hands and all the dogs he
could and went in search OF the Wild
animal. Mr.. Webb in his race forgot
he had on new shoes until the race
was over and then found that he had
all of the skin rubbed off his heels
and toes. He raced the varnint un-
til about o'clock and waded the river
a time or so, but at last it got away
in the swamps.
"Mr. Webb found he could not get
the varmint, so he started the dargles
to the house and got behind them and
fred few times and yelled to them
to "run, rum Some of them ran
themselves almost to death.
"He can't get Pig to the pasture
any more.
"Webb intended going to the talr
but was not able to wear his shoes"
