The polite guest in southern Arabia,
says writer of the National Geo.
graphic society, always .secretes a few
coffee berries in his turban, and thus
supplies his own beverage at the
house where he is calling.
l call to mind guests in this coun-
try who were not so thoughtful. They
brought no coffee berries concealed In
their hats. They brought no cream
and sugar in their hats or elsewhere.
They brought no roast chicken, bread
and butter, salad, ice cream, or pie.
But, when reminded, they were quick
to repair the oversight, and took
plenty of each away with them.-Ex-

Incubators in Use in
Egypt Ancient Models

The incubator for Matching chickens
is probably as old as history, which In
the Mediterranean region runs back
more than $500 years. There were,
doubtless, incubators in Egypt before
Moses was born, and to this day In
that country they are just what they
were in the lifetime of the great He
brew leader.
The art Of Matching chickens Is
handed down from generation to gen
GRAFTON, from father to son, a secret
craft. Baby chicks are an important
article Of trade, and they are produced
by millions for rearing.
The typical Egyptian incubator Is a
rude and cumbersome affair when
compared with the modern device. 1t
is a building Of considerable size, OF
sundried brick. Through it run one or
more passages, and on both sides OF
each passage are ovens ESQ to call
them) in two tiers. The oven at the
ground level has small door; the
one directly above it is entered from
beneath through a manhole. The
ovens are arranged in pairs, one be-
low and the other above. The eggs
are placed in the lower oven, and a
fire is lighted on the floor of the oven
overhead, to furnish the warmth req
uisite for hatching.-San. Francisco
Chronicle.

Columbus Chains

Columbus was carried back to Spain
after his third voyage and during the
trip he was such a sorrOwful figure
and the captain of the vessel had so
much respect for him that he wanted
TO remove the chains. but Columbus
refused. saying that they were put on
by orders of their majesties and they
must be removed the same way. OF
course. when he reached Spain and
was ordered freed. his request that
they be given him was granted and
his grandson writes that they never
left him. 1t was his dying request
that they be buried with him, and this
was done. r''

It does not properly mean kind, Set,
family or race, as often supposed.
"llk" is from the Anglo-Saxon ''ilc"

persons surname Is the same as the
name of his estate "Knockwinnpck of
that ilk" means simply ''Knockwin-
