Live as In oIden Times.

In eastern Palestine and Arabia are
to be found the most picturesque race
in the East, those strange, nomadic
tribes, the Bedouins.
Their mode of life has not greatly
changed since Biblical times, and to-
day they steal cattle and camels, and
their young men steal wives, as was
their wont in Old Testament days.
Indeed, the purloining Of cattle and
camels is considered lawful among
them, and the more a tribe or an in.
dividual can enrich himself in this
manner the mere their prowess comes
to be recognized,
These people, however, who live by
thieving and move by stealth, are inva-
ribly hospitality itself to the stranger

Family DAYS.

Family occasions ought to be cele-
brated frequently, even if the celebra-
tion is the simplest form of little fes-
tival. Bringing the family together
helps to promote affection. Whatever
the event, birthday or wedding ami
versary or welcome home from a
journey, it ought to mean something
to every member of the family and
can be made an occasion that will
remain bright in memory when the
family circle is broken.
