"no N only in q very vague way. but
.Ar= arc certainly enormous.
Berlin recently estimated that loss
- since June l last for all belIiger-
eAts had been at the ~ate OF a million
men month or 100000. The cas-
oalty rate S certainly rising as the war
goes on, because Of the larger masses
OF men and the better weapons involv-
ed
The number Of men killed in other
wars is as follows: American Civil
Var" 100000; Crimean, $4,000;
tranc:o-Prussian, 100000; Spanish
American, 2,91O; Boer, 10000; Russo

Conversation never lags, and until

Most of the houses of Arabia are
built of sundried bricks many of them
are three stories high, and all have
Hat roofs. A rule the interiors are

houses are doorless, accounted for by

Arabian peninsula with the most limit
ed number of milk-givlng animals
such as sheep, goats or camels, there

simple and unappetizlng manner by be-

none too well cured and does not rec

then either swung backward and for

on the ground until the fat of the milk
forms itself into butter. A favorite
dish to set before the distinguished |
guest Is mixture of dates and butter.
