slDELIGHT ON SYRIAN LIFE
writer Gives an Insight Into His Life
as Small Boy in That Little
Known Country.

The roads were open. Travellers
, came into our village. Scarcely a
night was the guest house in our court
yard unoccupied. I liked to sit with
my father and his guests In this room,
quilt after European style with four
large windows over which In winter
oiled paper was passed to keep the
cold out. The walls Of the guest room
were white and on them were hung
the choicest rugs brought back from
kurdistan by my Grandfather Mira.
There were chairs In this room. I
was very proud that we should own
chairs, but l found them most uncom-
Portable to sit on. After few mo-
ments my legs began to ache and /
slipped down on the cushions. In the
alcove of the guest chamber were
some old manuscripts bound in course
leather. They were holy books with H.
Illuminated margins. Among them was
a Bible In Syriac. I carefully refralned
from touching 1t. 1t was too holy, I
might perhaps be struck dead for nv
temerity.
Among the travellers that came along
the road was Hady, the singer. He
was the ugliest man that 1 had ever
seen, sore-eyed, pock-marked and dirty.
But he was very wise. His ivory ham
died dagger in its silver sheath was so
long that it reached from his chest to
his hips. My playmates and 1 would
have laughed and jeered at him, per.
haps, 1t he had not carried this dag

the descent can be considered reason.
ably safe When no safety lamp IL

Ia ken to Immediately withdraw all
persons In close proximity to the shaft
or pit as there may be an explosion.
Generally, there is no physiological
warning of oxygen deficiency In the
air. The first decided feeling Is one Of
extreme weakness accompanied by dfz-
ziness, better described as partial
paralysis, and the victim collapses
practically without warning. To guard
against this danger, a man should not
enter old workings without having q
rope tied around his body and at least
two men on the top. The rope should
be kept taut. Then If a distress signal
is given, the explorer will not only be
prevented from falling, but can bs
quickly pulled to fresh air and hiasaife
saved.
