THE ARAB.
An Artist In Manners Is This Son Oe
the Orient.

An Artist In Manners Is This Son Of
the Orient.
In all matters of sentiment the
Arabs instinct is sure. If you can
appeal to him on any ground of hos
pitality or generosity, says the author
Of In the Desert" you have a hold
)n him.
It used to be the boast of Arab poe
try in it's best days that it "neyer
praised a man except for what was in
him." and the habit of judging direct
~ and without regard to surroundings
has always been an instinct Of the
race. All those evidences of worldly
prosperity and success which turn
the heart of the Anglo-SaXon to water
leave the Arab unmoved.
The Arab is an artist in manners.
remember a certain sheik, who was
once my travelling companion on the
Upper Nile, a tan. lean, keen faced
man, of a complexion almost black,
with a glitter on it like the sun polish
on desert stones. who walked among
the fellahs on the crowded deck like
a chief among his slaves.
With him l shared the same narrow
corner of the deck He was strict in
his religious obs2iVances and at the
appointed hours would spread lis mat
on the deck turn in the supposed di-
rection of Mecca and then knecl and
rise and kneel again, bowling with
his forehead to the ground in the i'm
posing attitudes of Moslem prayer:
Quick at detecting the least sign of
consideration or respect, if We stop
ped talking or moved to make room,
he would treasure UP the courtesy and
when his prayers were over turn and
acknowledge it with a grave gesture
and a smile that seemed no conven-
tional grimacc, but expressed the in
tention Of a deliberate friendIiness.

SHAFT TO WIRz MAY
Be BUILT IN CITY,
Convention to Discuss That
Question.
AMeR,1Us rHE LOGICAL PLACE
Much Friction and unpIsasantnesa
Avoide i Subject viii Be Discuss
ed 5V Daughters.

One among other important subjects
for the consideration of the L. ID. c.
convention assembling in Americus
today will be the proposed monument
to the hero-martyr, Captain Henry
Wirz, formerly commandant of the
yankee prison at Andersonville.
The erection of the monument has al
ready been determined upon, but the
site is not yet selected.
Tomorrow the delegates VIII be taken
to AndersonvilIe upon pleasure trip,
and the site of the Wirz monument,
previously selected, will be inspected
and the movement discussed.
But would Andersonville, in reality.
be the best place for it?
OF course it was there that Captain
Wirz performed the duties for which
he was afterwards executed by the
Federal authorities, 1t is there, also,
that legends upon state monuments
bear false and bitter testimony against
this humanitarian and soldier.
And it is these that the U. d, c.
would refute in the erection of the mon
ument to Captain Wirz.
But again, is Andersonvllte the place
for the monument2
| Already the mere suggestion of it's
erection there has caused bitter denun-
citation in the north, but no one cares
for that. Such denunciation comes
from carpet baggers and camp follow
ers of the Union army and not from the
soldiers who did the fighting.
1t is the safety of the shaft and the
avoidance offuture friction that suggests
its erection elsewhere-in Americus-
where police and military protection
would ever be offered it, and where
vandal hand would not be allowed tc
touch it.
In Andersonville no such protec-
ton could be offered it, and should the
monument, there, be defaced or other
wise injured there certainly would be
retaliation-and trouble.
| AulcilCuS anu AuuGISOuN llIG dI'
both in Sumter county, and this fac
would give to it as much local signif
cance as though it were erected there
Captain Wirz was often a visitor il
Americus, and many are there her'
still who knew and loved him.
The streets of Americus are wide anC
ample, and should the L. D. c. decid
to erect the Wirz monument here sit
will be cheerfully given, and subscrip
tions as well. Aud here it would b.
guarded as jealously as is our owl
Confederate monument.
The subject will be fully presented
before the convention here and it i
hoped that the desired change of sit,
will be ordered.

THE BOOMERANG.
One of the Most Peculiar weapons Of
War Ever Invented.

One OF the Most Peculiar weapons of
War Ever Invented.
The boomerang is an instrument used
both in war and in the chase by the
aborigines Of Australia. 1t is usually
about two feet in length, made Of hard
wood bent into curve resembling an
obtuse angle, fiat on one side and
rounded ON the other. The method of
using this curious weapon is very pc
culiar. The thrower takes it in one
hand, holding the bent side downward,
and hurls it forward as if to hit some
object twenty or twenty-five yards in
advance. Instead of continuing to go
directly forward in accordance with
the Newtonian law it slowly ascends
in the air, whirling round and round,
describing a beautiful and geOmetrical
curved line till it reaches a considera-
BILE height, when it begins to retro
grade, finally sweeping over the head
of the protector, striking the object for
which it was intended, which is al
ways in the rear.
An English officer has this to say OF
the singular weapon: The boomerang
is one of the most curious weapons Of
war ever invented, at least by Il bar
barous people nor is it easy to compre-
heId by what law Of projectiles it is
made to take the singular directions
that it Frequently does. l have seen a
native throw one so rs to make it go
forty or fifty yards horizontally and
not more than four feet from the
ground 1t would then suddenly dart
into the air to the height of fifty or
sixty yards, describe a very consider
able curve and finally fall at his feet.
In all cases, no matter how thrown,
the boomerang keeps turning with
great rapidity. like as If on pivot,
making Il loud, whiZzing noise all the
while"

THE Minds Eve

1t will probably be news to most
people to hear that rudimentary traces
of a third eye exist among all verte-
brates, including man. In the human
race the third eye forms part of the
pineal gland, a small mass about the
size of pea in almost the very center
of the brain. Possibly, therefore,
there was more actual truth in the
well known expression ''the minds
eye" than it's originator dreamed of.

Mrs. Plnkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
| any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
| if she does not take advantage of this
| generous offer of assistance.
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get a
| bottle of Lydia e. Pinkham' 'sVegeta
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
| ham, Lynn. Mass, for special advice.
When medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many women,
you cannot well say, without trying it.
