| Der He also supplies the food and
bedding if some ordinary guests come
along.
They are, of course, great respect
ers of persons; so that if a common
man happens in, couple of fried eggs
with bread and olives will do for him.
If more important parsonage arrives,
pair of roast chickens is provided
for his supper; but il still more hon
ored one or a company of men appear,
lamb or kid is killed. The village
guest-chamber is a club of the viii
lage men.
Children in the peasant families are
always welcomed. The father prides
himself on his boys. Even the mother
prefers them, and when questioned as
to the number of her offspring, she
will say she has five children and two
girls, or whatever the number may
be. This is the more strange since
the would-be husband must pay his
father-in-law a handsome price for the
girl, while boys are a heavy expense
and their wives and weddings are cost
ly affairs.
Women are looked upon as some
thing inferior The woman may never
call her husband by his first name but
oh, father of Ahmed, or whatever the
eldest sons name may be. The wife
likewise, takes the name of her first
born son. The husband will never
say my wife or mention her first name
but will say either the mother of All
med or my family the relative Of
my house. the Forbidden or "the
daughter of my uncle The reason
for this last title is that the village
man in the Holy Land marries his first
cousin in preference to any one else.
and, in fact, she cannot marry an
other if he wants her
When a fellah or peasant child is
born, its tender skin, without being
washed is rubbed with olive oil and
salt, For seven consecutive DAYS it IS
re-oiled and when a week old gets
its first bath, and is again oiled. In
some localities they consider it unsafe
to battle the baby before it is forty
days old. Mortality among the babies
is great, and it is no. to be wondered
at, for in view Of the rough treatment
they receive, it becomes a question Of
the survival of the fittest.
THE ways of the village folk, their
methods of agriculture, of administra-
tion of household and community. and !
of sanitation are primitive reminis-
cences of the days before the coming
of Christ. The refuse of their viii
lagos are piled in great heaps around
it, and there left to tester. Their
blowing is a bare scratching of the
ground with wooden plows, while they
thresh their grain by failing and
treading, and mill it in stone mortars.
THE marriage customs of these peo-
pie are interesting. Young men at
about 20, and girls between 70 and 16.
usually marry. The son, on coming
of manageable age, picks his wife by
choice of sight-po courtsbip is al
his father arranges all
further details. The girl has no voice
in the matter. The price Of a bride
depends on her age, beauty, usefulness
and family connections. 1t ranges. in
our money, from $1OO to $4OO." \

The use of sage ana Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural

time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and abundant.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear

with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
ont-of-date. Nowadays by asking at
any drug store for q so cent bottle of

old, recipe which can be depended up
on to restore Eatur8l color and beau
'ty to the hair and is splendid for

taking one strand at time. by
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
it becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and abundant. $

a celebrated German scholar who has
been iecturing I'm the United States for
