CMrs. Mabel Loomis Todd. wife of Prof
David p. Todd, the noted astronomer OF
Amherst college, has enjoyed unusual
facilities for travelling in little known
corners OF the earth. having accompahieu n
her husband on journeys undertaken for
purposes of astronomical research Her
father was David Loomis astronomer OF
Harvard university. Besides being tai

of several books, Mrs. Todd is a success

Pedestrians have few rights in the
narrow thoroughfares of Tripoli In
pursuing ones devious way, the tiny
hoofs of omnipresent donkeys perhaps
make sound enough to indicate their
approach, even II their drivers did not
conscientiously shout "Balik! Balik!"
to the unwary. But they never swerve
from their course. If one succeeds In
jumping out of the way in time, well
and good. Not even so much notice
is given of the soft-footed progress Of
the camel. During my weeks in Trip
oil, most enchanting of unspoiled
oriental cities, the first indication Of
the camels presence was often the
long, arched neck curving quite over
my shoulder as he silently overlook
me and the supremely scornful face
close beside mine. 1t was quite in
different to him where his next foot

me, he Immediately possessed the
street in clear and unrestricted owner

Tripoli.
Humanity indeed is harder to dis
entangle. Nationalities multiply with
every step. Along the white walls and
buildings, Arabs, Bedouins and Moors
wrapped in white barracan fit swiftly,
while Greeks, Maltese, black Sudanese
and Fezzani-some polished like pat
ent leather. others finished in dull
tints like ebony-with fez and turban
rags and bronze limbs. Turkish trous
ers and Albanian drapery give still
further accent, and would absolutely
defy one to Identify ones locality If
suddenly set down in the midst of it
all.

In Tunis the Arabian women hide
their faces, except the eyes, by a
tightly strapped black veil, otherwise
completely wrapped in a white bur-
moose. In Tripoli no veil Is worn, but
half of the left eye only is permitted
to remain unshielded, and the bar
racan Is put on differently. I took
several lessons in adjusting it, attain
ing at last quite degree of proflcien-
cy. But / fear the right manipulation

folds would not be possible In a coun-
try of tailor-made suits and sealskin
coats. Ones mental fitness varies
with environment. The peeping ad-
vantage, of one bright black eye, or a
small part of it, is rather an advantage
than otherwise, for one may imagine
the white folds. A suggestion of
something too choice and lovely for
casual gaze envelops them, though
in all my Tripoli experience actual
sight of the street shrouded faces
never failed to disenchant. American
adoption of the barracan might en-
hance the attractiveness OF our street
parades.
Looking out of my window one
morning-an entertaining employment
hardly to be resisted witnessed an
alteration which promised to turn
into a genuine encounter. The COM
batants were apparently a jet-black
vender of bottles carried about in
little push cart, and lighter colored
and more fully clothed and befezzed
person with a table on his head. A
crowd of all the nations of the earth
speedily collected, and the conversa-
tion reached a pitch that suggested
the tearing out of eyes and hair at
once. But Arabic is curiously en-
phatic, voices at best loud and hoarse
with a cultural "catch" in the throat
quite inimitable; and this street fight
turned out to be merely an amicable
difference of opinion soon adjusted by
a laugh from bystander.
Maltese women in the black head
cover and cloak combined, several
one-eyed Moslem DANES and two anx-
ious-looking Roman Catholic sisters
with a small brood of children whom
they seemed to be initiating into the
difficult art of wearing European
clothes, were among the spectators;

in a gorgeous red robe looked scorn-
fully upon these inferior persons play.

Days passed before could intelli-

erwise than that all were disporting
themselves with histrionic intent.

picturesque, how much more the great

Sounds in Tripoli are almost as pic
turesque as its sights, and several
times, generally at night, one especial
ly joyous cry echoed through the
streets with a singularly penetrating
vibration. This happy scream some
times announces a birth, but it may
be used to proclaim wedding as we'll,
or other fortunate happening. One
Wednesday evening three genuine car
riages passed, two containing Arab
ladies and the last filled with black
women, chanting weirdly, occasion
ally giving vent to the characteristic
resonant tremolo.
All this signified that prospective
bridegl oom's mother was announcing
to the town her approaching happi-
ness. Glad tidings filled the air. The
next night Thursday, favorite night
for weddings, large procession
passed up and down through the mar
row streets for hours. Arab men
closely wrapped In white barracans
like ghosts marched ahead of a COM
pany of black men, beating drums.

and fire crackers. Behind came Mos.
lem boys swinging lanterns and occa-
sionaliy singing. In the midst walked
the expectant bridegroom, taking this
emphatic farewell Of bashelorhood.
Until two O'Clock in the morning he
paraded the streets. entertaining his
friends and giving them fine supper
at the end. Meantime, the little bride
would be brought by her relatives to
his house, with somewhat less flourish.

Your Own Body,

Think deliberately of the house you
live in-your body. Make up your
mind not to abuse it. Eat nothing
that will hurt 1t; wear nothing that
distorts or pains it. Do not overload
1t with victuals or drink or work.
Give yourself regular and abundant
sleep Keep your body warmly clad.
At the first signal of danger from any
of the thousand enemies that surround
you defend yourself. Do not take cold;
guard yourself against it. If you feel
the first symptoms. give yourself hero
fc treatment Get into fine glow OF
heat by exercise. This is the only
body you will ever have in this world
A large share Of pleasure and pain OF
life will come through the use you
make of it. Study deeply and diligent
~ the structure of it, the laws that
should govern 1t, the pains and penal
ties that will surely follow a Violation
of every law of life or health.

The average person has no idea how
much muscular effort is expended in
writing a letter. A rapid penman can
write thirty words In a minute. To do
this he must draw his pen through the
space of sixteen and half feet. In
forty minutes his pen travels furlong
and In ave hours a third of mile. In
writing an average word the penman
makes In the neighborhood of sixteen
curves Of the pen. Thus in writing
thirty words to the minute his pen
would make 4SO curves, 2S,OO0 curves
