Curious Ways of the Arab.

The Arab has some curious ways.
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 hot meal swimming in
oil. His sons eat with him, but the
women 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 wom-
an. The Arab has one strong virtue,
and that is he is rarely seen drunk.

CRITIC OF MoOIRN IDEAS
Writer Ranges Himself Firmly Against
System Of Education Which He
Considers Pernieious.

In no other way, perhaps, than In
their advocacy Of the pernicious doe
trine Of individual interest have the
modernists more seriously undermined
sound scholarship, proper habits OF
study, and the development OF virile,
rugged character. OF all the latest edu-
cational nostrums fofsted upon us. this
is one Of the worst. Even child can
feel its appeal; for the pill is thickly
coated with sugar, and every child's
"fnterest" draws 1t to sugar, even
though n stomach ache or something
worse may result. Where, pray, are
we to begin and where end in this
welghty responsibility of needing and
catering to the interests of youth?
Was there ever normal boy who did
not successfully show an interest" in
running a candy store, in becoming a
policeman, or n motorman, or an en-
gineer, or the captain of an ocean
liner? Can we conceive of a red-blood-
ed youth to whom electricity and ma
chinery and chemical experiments do
not bring their special appeal? Would
we regard boy as having ordinary In
teligence who could not readily
learn to understand the mechanism of
his fathers automobile? AS school
master / am only too well aware that
fathers with such normal sons see I'M
mistakable signs of budding genius in
this natural ability of youth; but as
an ordinary individual j am disposed
to class these deluded parents with
those whose sons have never told a
lie." They lack perception.-Alfred
T.. Stearns in the Atlantic.

Agra.

Agra is a city of tombs. 1t is the
shell Of a vanished glory, the with
cred leaf of one of the most ornate
and gorgeous flowers that ever
bloomed in the Orient. 1t is the city
Of the tombs Of kings, of the tombs of
cOnquerors, of the tombs of beautiful
women and the tombs of memories and
hopes. 1t is interesting in a mild way
today, but it is only by linking the
ruins as they stand with the picture of
what they once were that you get the
full flavor of Agra.
Agra is known the world over as
the city that holds the Tai Mahal, the
most beautiful and perfect specimen
OF the strange architecture of India.
The TAI was built by an oriental
despot for the tomb of his favorite
and bestowed queen; it is said to
have been built after specifications
CLEANED by the monarch in a dream in
which he visited heaven. The result
was such as to make the idea not
wholly ridiculous, for the Tai by
moonlight seems like a bit of another
world.

FAMOUS SCOTCH JOURNAL.

The Edinburgh Scotsman, which
was founded in 1917, celebrated its
one hundredth anniversary on the
25th Of January. A remarkable fact
in connection with the Scotsman is
that on its business side the paper
has been through all its century of
activity under the control of two
men, the younger of whom was close
ly associated for 10 years with the
elder, and is still in active super
vision Of its affairs. On the editorial
side its direction has been in the
hands of only four men. The Scots
man was founded as a weekly and
became a daily in 1855. Its motto
from the beginning may be said to
have been Liberty and Moderation. /"

HAILED AS LAST or HIS KIND
Work Of Buffalo 6lIw as interpreter
OF West to East Not Likely TO
- BE Continued.

For years Buffalo Bill" was the
interpreter through whom the East
came to understand the region be-
yond the Mississippi. His fame and
his character we're a revelation which
helped the older portion of the coun-
try to understand the problem in
volved in bringing the West into full
membership in the task of working
out the nations destiny.
The work Of Cody was a work
which neither statesman nor soldier
could have done adequately. In a
sense, Cody was both statesman and
soldier; in every sense he was high
ly useful American. The generation
that witnessed his exploits can have
but small appreciation of the lasting
service he performed in helping to
weld America into one nation of har-
mony and understanding.
Cody was the last of his kind. He
has no successor. The exploits that
made him famous cannot be dupli-
Gated; the work he did is a lasting
service that cannot be duplicated.
Around his memory are gathered
some of the best traditions of the ma
ton, and every American with pride
of race in his heart mourns at his
grave.--Cleveland Plain Dealer.

TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE
Gathered Harvest Of Pennies From
Crowd by Getting Them to Laugh
at Themselves.

One of the six orators in Union
square the other afternoon was blue
eyed tramp, who admitted that he was
the same. He asked those who gath
cred around him If they would give
him a penny every time he said any
thing that made him laugh. His lis
teners were told to put any question to
him and his answers, always amusing,
were given with a winning smile and
wink that brought penny after penny.
For more than an hour he held forth
and finally, when his reward seemed
to have reached a satisfactory total he
explained that he was going to accept
"goOd will" Offering ON condition
that what he said was quite true and
struck home to each one in the throng.
"Will you pay me If I'm right?'' he
asked. eve WILL" laughed the good
natured audience. SWELL" said the
blue-eyed one, this bunch is a flock
of easy-gOing birds, who have mighty
little to do. Certainly none of you
has done anything to improve himself
in the last hour, and it's high time you
all went to work or began to think.
I'm ashamed of the way I've wasted
the hour, but at least I've picked up a
little money. Now, let's every one of
us start out to do something regular
this very day. Am l right?" There
was a shower of pennies and the crowd
dispersed-New York Correspondent

Sure Thinu.

The old jokes are often better than
the new. Years ago a Cincinnati mer-
chant used to have sure-thing Joke
that he worked on his friends with
great success. He would meet a man
and start criticizing the mans personal
appearance, and would wait until the
man got good and hot under the collar.
Then the merchant would rub it In by
offering to bet that the other man
didn't have a whole shirt on his back.
The bet was always eagerly and indig-
nantly taken, and the merchant, the
victim and the shareholders would re-
tire to a room. There the victim would
take Off his coat and vest and display
his shirt The result was always the
same. The Stockholders had to admit
that the victim did not have a whole
shirt on his back. Half of the shirt
was on his back, and the other half
on his chest.

PUNISHMENT TO FIT CRIME
Have Been Blessed With Keen
Sense Of Humor.

In the city of London records of
1864 it is stated that a certain John
Penrose, a taverner, was convicted
of Selling unsound and unwhole-
some wines to the deceit of the COM
mon people, to the contempt of the
king, to the shameful disgrace of the
officers of the city, and to the griev-
Gus damage of the community" His
sentence was to be imprisoned for
year and a day, to drink draught
of the bad wine, to have the rest
poured over his head, and to for
swear the calling of a winter in the
city of London for ever.
Our ancestors had a fine sense of
making the punishment fit the
crime. A man who surreptitiously
tapped a London water conduit in
1873 was set ON horse with vessel
like a conduit on his head. Out of
the vessel, which was constantly re-
plenished with water, ran a number
of small pipes. These played merrily
upon the offender as he was led
round to the nine conduits of the
city, where his crime was publicly
observation-disclosures Tit-Bits.

There is now a complaint that a
shortage of tin cans is imminent.
There has always been a constant
waste Of cans and other tins that are
thrown away after one using, although
as good as they ever were. II is an
economic mystery why some plan has
not been devised to have these prod
ucts gathered up and used again eth
err after sterilizing or melting them
over. Except where used for food
products, they would only need to be
washed and relabeled for oils, paints,
grease or insecticides. Millions Of
