QUEER IDEA OF HOSPITALITY
Travellers In Arabia, Guests Of Chief,
systematically Fleeoed Of Every
thing Of Value.

OF the curious ideas of hospitality
held by some of the natives of that
wild country lying between Bagdad
and Damascus two travellers, Capt.
Butler and Capt. Aylmer, tell in the
Geographical Magazine. I'VE found
Feysul Ibn Rashid "a minor ruler of
Arabia) sitting in a low room, the
roof of which was supported by wood
en- pillars. All round the sides Of the
room were spread carpets, on which
sat his viziers and members of his
court He is a man of SO years, with
a dark, pointed beard, good, regular
features, but eyes that are cold and
cruel, and he has a nervous, fidgety
manner, and was all the time arrang-
ing his abba cloak and combing and
curling his mustache and beard and
admiring himself in a small, cheap
looking glass that hung just behind
him. Above his head on the wall
hung his silver-mounted walking stick
and a sword, the sheath Of which
was also covered in silver. He was
very richly dressed
ION arrival at the house placed at
our disposal we congratulated our
selves on our good fortune in having
such cordial welcome, but we were
speedily disillusioned. Wehad not been
there more than five minutes when
Feysul's head slave, a richly dressed
parsonage called Dahm, came to tell
us that the emiT would not take our
camels or our money, as he had
plenty Of both, but that he would like
things of European make or of in
terest that we happened to have. This
was only too true, and, during our
five days stay there, there was a con-
tinual PROCESSION of slaves and hang
ers-on from the castle demanding
things for the emir and his viziers
and favorites, and demanding them
in such way that it was impossible
for us to refuse. At last we had
practically nothing of any value left,
having been fieeced of watches, revol-
vers, compasses, various clothes and
other articles Of our kit.
Apart from this system Of more
or less polite robbery, we were well
treated by the emir and had our food
sent us from the castle by him.
About three or four times a day we
had royal command from him and
used to go up to the castle and drink
many cups of coffee and excellent
sweet tea with him and talk about his
country and Europe. He was always
very genial on these occasions and
1 honestly think he considered he was
treating us very well in not taking
all we had and turning us adrift to die
in the desert"

Fish Jumps Into Boys Lap.

The high water in the Vermilion
river all this spring has made fish
mere numerous than for many years,
according to a Centerville Is. d. dis
patch to the st. Paul Dispatch. Near
ly every one goes fishing here nova
days. An amusing incident occurred
here the other day while Robert Eye
WAS fishing just below the dam. A
six-pound pickerel concluded to break
the record for high jumping by try
ing to get above the dam.
Robert was sitting about four feet
above the water on the edge of a
nearly perpendicular bank, dreaming
ly wondering If fish was ever really
big enough to swallow Jonah whole
without even a scratch, when sudden.
ly from out of the deep shot a
monster pickerel, landing in Roberts
lap and giving the lad an uppercut
on the chin with a flop of the tail.
Rob dropped his pole and landed a
Highlander on the pickerel's side,
knocking him out on the bank and Sc,
curing the prize.
This is no fish story" but true
incident which was witnessed by two
of our business men, noted for their
truth and veracity.
