Men Who Never unuail

There is wandering tribe of the Sahara called the Tuaregs, strange people. supposed by some to have de scended from the crusaders and dis tinguished by the wearing of veils. a custom that has occasioned much dis cussion. The Tuaregs guard their eyes against the glare of the desert by two veils. one rolled round the tenn pies and falling down in front of the eyes. the other reaching from the nos trils to the edge of the clothing, cov- ering the lower part of the face. All manner of learned arguments have been adduced to explain this custom, but hygiene is obviously the only mo- tive. This is shown by the statements of the Tuaregs themselves and by the sObriQuet mouths for fies." which they apply to all who do not wear the veils. It is said that the Tuaregs never remove their veils. even at meal times Indeed. they are so much a part of their wearers that any one de- prived of such covering is unrecog nized by his friends and relatives

The Hauahtx Rutehera.

The complaint against the high cost of living probably dates from the time Adam paid so dearly for a bite of apple. At later date. according to the Westminster Gazette, the retail butcher of France grew very arrogant, and it says that the present increased price of meats has caused the exam ination of the reco'ls in order to trace the origin of the (. sble there. In 159O a decree was issued which suggests that butchers were carrying things with high hand. It says: Butchers are expressly enjoined not to i'll treat or use abusive language to the ladies of their city. or the women of low de gree. or the servant maids who propose to deal with them. They are on no account to mock or deride the said ladies. women and maids, but are to receive politely all offers made to them
 for their goods. San Antonio Express.
