crude meerschaum is called hamtash.
It is yellowish white in color and q
red clay coat or skin envelops it. The
blocks cost from S2j to 5000 a cart load.
They ere soft. enough to cut with a
knife. These blocks in summer are

An Arab In the Rain.

..Those who are not accustomed to
rain are frightened by It," says a
writer. II once saw an Arab rained
upon for the first time. BE was alb
iectly terrified and demanded to have
his passage paid from the country
Sicily-in which the dread phenomenon
occurred. He had been conveyed from
the Sahara, I think, by a European,
whose servant he was, and he evidently
thought his master was behaving abom-
inably to him in permitting him to get
wet. BY the first steamer be returned
to his native desert, abandoning excel
lent wages, and shaking the ratndrops
furiously from bis slippered feet"

Cromwell and Christmas.

During the commonwealth In Eng
land, when puritanical feeling held
sway, many determined efforts were
made to put down what were termed
superstitious festivals and among these
that Of Christmas day. The holly and
the mistletoe bough were to be cut up
root and branch as plants Of the evil
one. Cakes and ale were held to be I'M
pious offerings to superstition. Thus In
1647 the Cromwell party ordered
throughout the country by the mouth
Of the common crier that Christmas
should no longer be observed.
