WAYS Of the Arab.

The Arab has some curious wayA
He takes off his shoes when he enters
a house. but keeps on his hat He
reads and writes from right to left.
He eats scarcely anything for break
fast or dinner. but in the evening he
sits down to a hot meal swimming in
oil. His sons eat with him, but the
ladies Of the household wait till the
males have finished. The Arab rides
a donkey when travelling. his wife
walking behind. and he laughs at the
idea Of giving up his seat for woman.
The Arab has one strong virtue, and
that is, he is rarely seen drunk. He
is not very affectionate, is very igno-
rant and has so little initiative that
he rarely takes on anything worth do
ing or attempts to carry out any On.

AN UNDERWORLD PALACE.

Wonderful Thinss to Be Seen In the
Iuray caverns.
Halfway up the Shenandoah valley
are the Luray caverns, an underworld
palace built by the busy hands Of trio
king waters.
Aladdin, We are told, was once per-
mitted to enter a cave which exhibited
such decorations that its glory both
dazzled and affrighted. But Aladdin
never beheld anything more wondrous-
" exquisite than the water built archi-
lecture Of LWay.
The Throne room is canopied with
curtains woven Of diamonds and pearls.
The Saracen tent has more than orien-
tai splendors of richest damasks and
golden samita, which Grapes the crys-
tai couch in festoons Of magic beauty.
Ttania's veil IL woven Of petrided spi-
ders' web, while the ballroom seems as
II set to celebrate q marriage between

The visitor to Luray today shares the
sentiment of another visitor Of long
ago who exclaimed. Mortal hath not
made the like nor human fancy con-
ceived thing more magniflcent."-Na-
