PRIMITIVE WAYS IN ARABIA
Mode Of Life Differs Little From
What 1t Was in the Time Of
Abraham.

1t appears that in certain parts of
the Arabian desert life is as primitive
as in Abrahams time. Sheep are
still slain to seal a vow. The salt or
bread covenant is observed and when
a man dies his tent is torn down and
destroyed.
Old names like Joseph, Moses, Alex
ander, etc, are still in common use
among Arabs, although pronounced
"Yusuf," "Musa" and "Skandar." To
divorce his wife a man may repeat the
formula "Ent telek" three times; usu-
ally uttering it once makes the woman
behave and the repetition is not nec-
essary. The evil eye superstition is
common, and the first injunction CIV
en- a foreigner by experienced Arabian
travellers is that he must not point at
animals or persons in Arab settle
ments.
Arabs say that a man possessed of
this malign power can look at bird
flying in the air and it will drop dead ;
that if he chooses to cast his wicked
spell on a camel it may go lame, or n
child may be struck blind. None of
the lower class can read or write, but
the Arab is noted for his ready wit
and his habit of speaking in allegory.

HSWat.the Ratin

Since the Introduction of the house
rat in the United States they have
become extremely abundant and widely
distributed throughout the country,
where they destroy annually many
millions of dollars worth of food
products and crops. THESE losses
occur alike in cities, villages and
farmsteads. Their inroads upon food
products occur in freight departments
of railroads and steamboat lines, stor-
age places Of grain and food dealers,
commission houses, wholesale drug
houses, candy shops, bakeries, flour
mills, cold-storage houses. city and
country dwellings, granaries. fields
and poultry yards. The loss of food
and other products in the United
States from This source amounts to
not less than 100000 900 annually,
which amount does not include indi-
rect losses oecasioned by human dis
ease disseminated by rats and the
necessary expenditures in combating
them.

CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
War Workers Unusually ELUSIVE Wei
come Not Due to Her Serv-
ices to the Country.

The new chief of the British w. \.
4. G. Mrs. Burleigh LEIGH, tells an
amusing story concerning an officer of
that organization who had been de-
tailed To call at certain house in or
der to interview young woman living
there who had expressed a desire to
join up.
a buxom, hearty old lady, who. It
afterward TRANSFERRED, was the mother
of the would-be recruit, answered the
door. and welcomed the visitor most
cordially.
"Come in, my dear" she exclaimed.
Come in; you must be hot and tired
and ready for cupful of tea. Jim'll
be here in a minute and"
'If you don't mind faltered the
officer But it was hopeless to stem
the tide of the old ladys loquacious
hospitality. She ratified on insistent-
ly until she had to stop to take breath.
This was the visitors opportunity, and
she explained the purpose of her call.
The elder lady was evidently disap-
pointed. "Oh!" she said in tones of
chagrin. "And l thought you was our
Jlm's moo young womani"

GinQhsm Waistcoats.

The gingham waistcoat made a
tentative start for popularity, but was
soon running down the track at full
speed All the younger set are wear
ing these waistcoats, the shops show
them at different prices, and they make
an alluring grouping of color in the
windows. They have started the fash
ion for a great variety of skeleton
waisteoats that are worn instead of
collars. Many are high-necked, others
have long, sloping, double-breasted
revers. They are less trouble to adj
just in blouse or coat than collar,
for they have their own fastening and
are kept down at the waist by an elias
tic band.

aid. From one side ii resembles tow
err rather than church, yet it has no
such quiet dignity as one finds in" the
Kutah Minar, near Delhi, or the tow
ering dome of st. Sophia with its
flanking needle minarets. The other
cathedrals are dropped around with
careless abandon and a nice disregard
for the cost of gold leaf, but none of
them dominates vista or gathers
about itself the other masses in pleas
ing array. The Kremlin is mighty
whole, composed of many unimPosing
parts. Its long red walls and splendid
gates produce an effect of simple
strength which cannot be found within
their portals.
The interiors are as disappointing
as are the groups of domes which dis
tinguish the exteriors. None is large,
none is truly intimate. The effect is of
surplus gilt and multiplicity of saints
which remind one of the gopurams Of
India. Spindle-shanked saints, whose
emaciated figures seem too weak to
support their gilt haloes, alternate
with knights in armor.

Fashion Points of Interest.

There are four things in fashion that
are often discussed today: The severe
uneollared neck line, the short sleeve,
the cape back and the lack of chiffon
blouses. A dressmaker drew pa
irons attention to the absence of the
latter garment because of the preva-
lence of one-piece froeks, and told how
the shirt waist people were depending
upon wash blouses to continue their
business. Sailor collars are not smart.
High collars that roll upward at the
back and down in the front are not at
tached to coats. The collars that go
on bodiees of one-pieee frocks end be-
fore they reach the eellarbone, and the
rest of the decolletage Is untouched by
any line of white.

New Sleeves.

The only sleeve eeeentricities of the
present time are very mild ones. Eve
ming gowns, from having no sleeves at
all. have taken to having long angel
clouds of tulle that float downward
from the shoulder and, it would seem,
help TO fight the coal shortage by keep
ing their wearerS warm by a mere
shadow of fabric. Anyway, it is emf
nently becoming and very much of a
relief after too many bare arms. The

Honey Of the Bible.

1t is interesting to note that the
wild honey named in the Bible may
not have been altogether the stores
packed away by the bee in the hol-
lows of trees and between the rocks.
There is a clear, sweet liquid called
honey dew found frequently on leaves
and comes from the aphids, the tiny
"eows" cared for and "milked' by the
ants for their saccharine substance.
There was so mach of it on the leaves
of the trees in oriental climes that it
dripped down in considerable quanti-
ties to the ground. This must have
been the kind named in the book Of
Samuel where 1t says: "And all they
of the land came to wood and there
was honey upon the ground. And
when the people We're come into the
wood behold the honey dropped"
