1t is advisable, however, for contest

IS MOST POPULAR OF BOOKS
Bible Holds This Proud Position
Partly on Account Of Its Pure

The Bible is the most popular book

Considering the fact that these writ

and power have been preserved. There
is no book quoted oftener that the

tire into our own literature. No writ.

the style Of writer's like Ruskin and

Charles Fox said more than once that
he owed to the perusal OF the Bible

STRANGE COUNTRY is OMAN
Something About the SuItanate at the
Southeast End of the Ara
bian Peninsula.

One of the least known countries of
the Arabian peninsula is the sultanate
of Oman, which occupies the SOUTH
eastern extremity. The country is
largely mountainous. The area has
not been exactly determined, as the
western, or desert, border has never
been fixed. The population, which
ranges from 100000 to 100000 is dis
tributed mostly along the seacoast
and a few interior valleys that can
be irrigated. There are no rivers, and
the annual rainfall is not more than
five inches. Wells are the only source
of water. The Tropic Of Cancer
crosses the sultanate. and while the
winters are pleasant the summers are
long and extremely hot. Arabic is
the language generally spoken,
though in the ports many persons
speak Persian, Baluchi and Hindu
stani, and every native merchant can
conduct his business correspondence
in either English or French. The
sultan or any of his wallis, or COVER
nors, decides a case which may be
brought before them without refer
ence to any other case or to any law,
except local customs and such pre-
cepts of the Koran as may be deemed
applicable. Commercial law is un
known. Wages, formerly extremely
low, have been increasing steadily, a
condition said to be due not to any
increase in the demand for labor, but
to-a deficiency in the supply caused
by the dying out Of the sedee, or ne
gro, population since the importation
OF slave cargoes ceased. The prevail
ing daily wages, United States curren
cy, in cents, are: Carpenters, 46;
house servants. IT; cooks, go; masons
"a; coolies, "a; messengers, 20, and
women date packers. 81. Goats
sheep and burros, Of poor and stunted
types, owing to scanty forage, are
raised; but the dromedaries which
the tribes Of the western border grow
are said to be the best breed in tbs
world. Horses are few, there beinl
probably less than 500 in the yholt
country.

to ask the women to remove their
hats in church. He said that he be
lieved in the propriety of such a re-
quest, but wishing to avoid unpleas-
antness similar to that which followed
a Ike demand on the part OF Rev. DIR.
Grass Of st. Paul, he would try to as
certain the sentiment OF the women
on the subject. After few days he
told the woman who had suggested
the no hat order that he had made a
superficial canvass and added: You
remove your hat at service next Sun
day and see how many women will
follow the good example" In telling
the story the woman said: Il was the
only one. Now wear my hat to avoid
