Arabian Hypocrisy,

Writes a traveller: THE noblest and
the basest Arabs are agreed that to
obtain as quickly as possible all the
available cash they can lay their hands
on is by no means degrading. But.
even here subtle dialectic comes into
play. The Arab must always have
right on his side, for In studied and
complex hypocrisy he has nothing
to learn from us. II an. Arab would.
rob his guest-I-am speaking from per-
sonal experience-he will first talk at
length on the subject Of honor, hospis
tally, and SO forth. He will gradually
work the matter round as to why YOU
are travelling, throw out suggestions
that spies, enemies and ntruders can
not claim hospitality, suggest that he
himself is poor. question himself as to
whether he ought not to detain you as
a prisoner. again state that he is in
want, and thus shift from blackmail
to cajolery and from gentle requests
to threats, until he has extorted a
sum of money which in his curious
brain he might describe as the least he
could accept with honor or the most
he could extract without danger tc
himself" ai&4

It Is a dangerous or. unsoclal form of

The lot of the Ceylon pearl diver is
not din easy one. Stones are suspended
on a running rope over III outrigger
projected from the boats side in such.
a convenient position as to allow the
diver to place one foot within a loop
affixed to the stone. The diver, having
placed himself with II foot m the.
stone, with a net around his neck to
hold oysters, draws in his breath,
closes the nostrils with one hand and.
raises his body to give force to the
descent. The manduck Tor divers at

nets, let's go, and the diver rapidly
reaches the bottom, leaves the stone,
which the manduck instantly hauls up
and refxes, throws himself on the

the rope, which is pulled up by the

Of the net are discharged into the boat.

sisted on sitting on the shaft. The
man refused to get down when asked
to do so and only yielded to force.
"Ladies complain of the rudeness OF
Japanese letter carriers, who push

American Temperament and Art.

tNLS
The majority Of the men and women
who gave American life its form and
direction were not the children Of an
artistic, race, though they were the
heirs Of a great literature. They de-
scended from a people who have new
pursued art as an end and whose first
instructive expression in meeting great
experiences has v been artistic,
but who have never divorced action
from vision nor failed in the long run
to match power In action with some
kind Of beauty in speech. From its
English ancestry the country has in
herited an ingrained and ineffaceable
idealism Of nature, which enormous
tasks and hitherto incredible prosper
ity have at times smothered and blight
ed, but never destroyed. From other
races have come richer temperament,
quicker sensibilities. craving for joy
and love of beauty for Its own sake,
which have already immensely enrich
ed American art and are %subsotling
American life.-Hamilton Mabie in At

Washington, April 18.-The presi-

Merchants association of New York
and several other organizations are
sending circular letters throughout
the country suggesting a commission
to consider the whole subject and
make recommendations to the next
session OF congress. a
The presidents last position was
that congress and the people fully
understand the question and he be-
;lieves that there should be action at
this session. The president, as is well
known, favors the Hepburn bill which
was prepared by the Civic Federation
and he Is Of the opinion that this bill,
which was prepared after long DELHI

that a commission would merely de
lay action.
The Hepburn bill Is one OF the meas
ures that Representative Watson, the
republican whip, Of the house, told the
president probably would not be re

tee before adjournment.
There is no information available
whether the presidents opposition
will extend to the proposition for the

Paris, April 1S.-The Cride Paris,

ings Of the fashionable set Of Paris,
insists in its issue Of today that the
marriage of Nine. Anna Gould, for
merly the wife Of Count Boni de Cas-
tellane, and Prince De sagan, already
has taken place.
The paper announced some time
ago that this marriage had been cele
brated secretly in Germany. Today
it says:
we are nov in a position to com
plete our statement. This marriage
was celebrated secretly in q little
town on our frontier. When in New
York Nine. Gould informed her fam
lily that the wedding already was an
accomplished fact, and that is why the
members of the her family so quickly
assented. We would add that for Ger
tain legal reasons, which delicacy pre-
vents us from divulging, this marriage
can be broken.
This possibly greatly consoles the
families, which have been SO crushed
by the marriage. But we hope tina
they will not by any rude process
trouble the happiness OF the younl
couple, who. during their sojourn II
New York, were so much to eacl
