An Arab Honeymoon.

For seven days after the wedding
the Arab bride and bridegroom are
supposed not to leave their room. The
bride may see none of her own family
and only the women folk of her hus-
bands, who wait on her. She remains
in all her wedding finery and paint and
does absolutely nothing. The bride
groom generally slips out at night aft
er three days and sees few friends
privately, but he persistently hides
from his wife's family. and should he
by accident meet his father-in-law be-
fore the seven days are over he turns
his back and draws his burnous, or
haik, over his face This is their view
of honeymoon, and they grow as
weary of it as any European couple do
OF their enforced continental tour

1t was said in the Norton family that
Uncle Hiram had no ear for music, as
ne failed to appreciate the vocal ef-
forts of his niece Margaret. But II
his ears were defective his pocketbook

relative who had been delegated to APP

1T really seems as if she ought to
take lessons and practice regularly.

her mining stock for Margaret's sake"
Uncle Hiram's keen old face wore a
mutinous expression. IL

"Oh, yes" said the venturesome rel
alive. Then she had a sudden inspira-
ton.
1T would be best of all II she could
go abroad for two or three years." she
murmured thoughtfully, "but Of course
that is out Of the question, the ex-
pense"

French Schools.

{
The quality Of the secular instruc-
lion in the French schools seemed to
me extraor dinarily high. It happened,
for example, that I was taken into a
classroom where q lesson In English
was being given to some French boys
Of sixteen, mostly the sons Of opera
tves. The exercise was conducted In
excellent English, which the pupils
seemed to- speak almost as readily as
the teacher, and the point under dis
cussion when I visited the class was
one which would have puzzled Har-
ward freshmen. It was the distinction
in meaning between. the words priest
Catholic ecclesiastic; clergyman-an
Anglican, and minister-a dissenter.
In American schools, or, rather, In the
results Of the instruction there afford
ed, have never come across the
teaching Of any foreign language
which compared in efficiency with the
teaching Of English In secondary
schools through uts France. And to all
appearances this was only one exam
pie Of the thoroughness and the vitali-
ty of French eaching in, all its branch
es. Barrett Wendell In France Of To

Good Ink, but No Bread.

Sweynheym and Pannartz, the two
Germans who were the first to print
books in Rome, used paper and types
of excellent quality. Their ink on
pages printed more than 400 years ago

Academy OF Music.

Mr.. Henry Miller is again coming
to the Academy of Music, Balti-
more, in the "The Great Divide" and
while Baltimoreans have already
had an opportunity to witness this
wonderfully human play of the East
and West, with it's strong heart his
tory, it is the one play of the past
two seasons that one can sit through
second, even a third time, and each
time carry away a new thought.
Mr.. Miller has played many parts.
Many parts have been written es-
pecially for him; but throughout his
entire career he has never had part
that fitted him as Stephen Client, and
when he is ready to go on in the first
act he leaves Mr.. Miller in his dress
ing room. So completely does he sink
his own identity that it is hard for
many of his friends in front to real
ize that Stephen Ghent is their Mr.
Miller

remains practically the same, includ-
ing Laura Hope Crews, Mrs. Whiffen,

The Other Side of 1t.

The next time a distinguished citi-
zen rushes into the Advocate Office,
just as we are going to press, and
proceeds in excited manner and with
quiyering voice to unravel a tale of
heartless and cold-blooded cruelty,
he will have to show us" before we
turn the copy over to the Mergen-
thaler. Last weeks account of the
upsetting of buggy by horse
which became frightened at passing
auto, besides doing grave injustice
to the occupants of the car, got the
Advocate scribe into such trouble that
a headon collision with a 40-horse
power machine would seem trifiing in
comparison.
Those in the automobile say that
they were not guilty of heartlessness
and lack Of gallantry; that they did
not look back and did not know the
buggy had been upset until they read
of it in the paper; that they have met
and passed this team dozens of times !;
that the horse usually pranced a lit
tie and gave some slight evidence of
fear; that on one occasion they SLOW
ed up and offered to assist the young
lady; that this assistance was declin-
ed with the assurance that she was
we'll able to control the animal; that
on the occasion referred to, in view
of their former experiences, they had
every reason to think the horse had
gone quietly on,and therefore were not
witnesses of the calamity which be-
fell the young lady.

Publishers Democratic Advocate:
Gentlemen-I herewith enclose one
dollar in currency to renew my sub
scription, which expired in November.
My wife, who is a native of Carroll
county, Md, is interested in the Ad-
vocate's chronicle of local happen
ings, and in the general news matter.
The course and conduct of the Ad-
vocate in the recent campaign, and its
energetic and Intelligent support of
the Democratic ticket, State and ma
tional, deserve high commentator.
Considering the strength, character
and multiplied resources of the op-
position, the results obtained in Mary
