when u attention was attracted by
shrill cries down the road. A man
was approaching on a little donkey,
which he was clubbing and ~galloping
toward us. Immediately the girl heard
him she squatted beside her mother
and seemed to be very much fright
ened.
The man shouted something at US
in Arabic as he jumped from his DON
key and made a gesture toward the
camera, but, seeming to realize that
it was the girl we wanted to snap, he
stood in front of her as he scolded
her and her mother for their willing
ness to accommodate us in the mat
ter of posing. After she had explained
to him the man told us that she was
his girl wife and that he thanked the
prophet for permitting him to arrive
in time to save her from disgrace.
"Ten years from now" he said, the
people of this village may point their
fingers at my wife and say: There is
a girl who was willing to stand before
a Christian dogs camera for two
francs"
From Bethlehem we went into the
Judean wilderness to attempt to snap
shepherds with their iocks of sheep
and goats. We met with little oppo-
sition from these lonely, half starved
lads, who when they were Christians
thankfully accepted the fee we gave
them and when they were Moham-
medans begged for more money and
then cursed us in the name of the
Prophet as we departed.

Waders for Troops.

During their war with Russia, the
Japanese troops were supplied with
waders made of mulberry leaf as a
protection against injury to health
caused by wet feet in the trenches.
Particulars now come Of an improved
form of wader. Of British invention.
The new wader is made of a fibrous
substance much cheaper than null
berry leaf. 1t is light. warm, water
proof, antiseptic, and impervious to
attack by insects. A pair of the
waders made of this material weighs
about two and one-half nee The
waders are made in two sizes-me-
dunn and large. The wader is kept in
position by buttons or braces. For
occasions like a bayonet charge, when
the utmost freedom for the leg and
foot is necessary, the portion of the
wader worn over and above the knee
would be turned down.
