COURTESY IN THE ORIENT.
An Attempted Innovation That Did Not
Meet With Favor.

1t is not always wise to force upon
a people new customs, even those of
advanced principle, in the face Of long
established tradition. Lady Burton dis
covered this truth when she attempted
to Introduce European courtesy into
the orient. She tells of her experience
in Inner Life Of Syria" The incident
occurred at one Of her own receptions.
1t Is de rigueur every time coffee,
tea or sherbet comes in for every fresh
relay of visitors that | should take 1t
with them and drink first When
first arrived ! used to get up as a mat
ter Of course, make the tea and coffee
and carry 1t round. The dragomans
would sit lazily and watch.
One day l asked them to get up and
help me. They were pleased to do so
and willingly handed the refreshments
to any Of the Europeans, man or wom-
an, but not to their own ladies', who
blushed, begged their pardon and were
quite confused when | made 1t known
this attention was for them as we'll as
for others. The women looked appeal
ingly at me and stood up, praying not
to be served. One man who was real
ly in love with his wife, beautiful
creature, gave her teacup as If 1t
were good joke, with a little sheer.
She bent, kissed his hand and begged
his pardon.
1 felt quite indignant with the men
for so behaving to their wives, moth
ers and sisters, but one said to me:
"Pray, Mrs. Burton, do not teach our
women things they do not know about
and never saw"
After that held my tongue, but
let him know that with Europeans 1t
was the height of bad taste not to wait
on any woman.

The Ultimate Tax Burden Shown In

For the Workinsman.
Our tax systems are such as to

government are borne by the proper

nally pay the taxes levied, but in real
ity these are shifted until, accordiL g
to the laws Of incidence Of taxation,
the burden finally rests in most in
stances upon those who apparently
pay no taxes, but who actually do pay
through increased rents and cost Of
commodities.
Thus the workingman, who knows
little about shifting and incidence and
who seldom stops to consider how and
how far he is paying the cost Of gov
