TRAITS OF THE All AD
IMPARTIAL MORTALITY IS ONE OF
THE MOST MARKED.

A chief of a party of the bey of
Tripoli's trom ''I'll irthd by
Arabs on a certain ivnsJoa during
tt year HO Kt his way and was
benighted near th enemy's camp,
passing the door of a tetit whUU was
often, be stopped hi horse auJ Im
plored assistant, belug exhausted by
fatigue aud thirst. Tbe warlike Arab
bade bit euetnjr euter his teut w 1th cou
fideuce aud treated him with all the
respect aud hospitality for which his
leople are so fatuous. The highest
moug them, tike tbe patriarchs of old,
wait upon their guest A man of rauk
when visited by a stranger quickly
fetches lamb from bla Bock and kills
It and bis wife superintend her wo
men in dressing It in the bet manner.
With some of tbe Arabs tbe primitive
custom so often spoken of In the Bible
1 of washing the feet is yet followed,
and this compliment Is performed by
tbe bead of tbe family. Their supper
was tbe best of tbe fatted lamb roast
ed, their dessert dates and dried fruit
and tbe Arab's wife, to honor more
particularly ber husband's guest set
before him a dish of "boseen" of her
wa making. This was a preparation
of flour and water kneaded Into a
paste, which, being half baked, was
broken Into pieces and kneaded again,
with new milk, oil and salt and gar
nished with "kadeed," or mutton dried
and seasoned in the highest manner.
Though these two chiefs were op
posed In war, they talked with candor
and friendship to each other, recount
ing tbe achievements of themselves
and their ancestors, wbeu a sudden
paleness overspread the couuteuauce of
tbe host lie started from his scut and
retired, aud In a few minutes sent
word to bis guest that his bed was
prepared and all things were ready for
bis repose; that be was not well him
self and could not attend to finish tbe
repast; that be bad examined the
Moor's horse aud fouud It too much ex
hausted to bear him through a hard
Journey the next day, but that before
sunrise an able horse, with every ac
commodation, would be ready at tbe
door of the tent where be would meet
aim and expect bim to depart with all
peed. Tbe stranger, not able to ac
count for the conduct of bis bout, re
tired to rest
An Arab awakened bim In time to
take refreshments which had been pre
pared for bim before bis departure,
but be saw noue of the family until
bo perceived on reachiug tbe door of
tbe tent the master of It holding tlie
bridle of his borne and snportlug bis
tlrrups for him to mount, which la
don among tbe Arabs as tbe last offer
of friendship. No sooner was tbe Moor
mounted than his bout announced to
bim that In the whole of the enemy's
camp be bad not so great aa enemy to
dread as himself.
"Last night," said be, "in tbe ex
ploits of your ancestors you discovered
to Be tbe murderer of my father.
There 11 all tit habits be was slain
in (which were at that moment brought
to the door of the tent, over which In
the pretence of my family I have
many times sworn to revenge bis death
and to seek the blood of bis murderer
from sunrise to sunset. Tbe sun has
not yet risen the sun will be no more
than risen when I pursue you, after
jou have In safety quitted my tent
where, fortunately for you. It Is against
our religion to molest you after your
feaving sought my protection and fouud
a refuge there, but ail my obligations
cease as soou as w part aud from
that moment you mutt consider me as
one determined on your destruction In
whatever part or at whatever distance
we may meet again. You have not
mounted a horse Inferior to the one
that stands ready for myself; on Its
swiftness surpassing that of mine de
pends one of our lives, or both."
After saving Ibis be shook bis silver
sary ty the band and parted from bim.
The Moor, protiting by the few mo
ments be had In advance, reached the
bey's army In time to escape bis pur
suer, who followed hlra closely, as near
the eneny' camp as he could with
safety. This wus certainly a striking
trait of hospitality, but It was no more
than every Arab and every Moor In the
same circumstances would do. -New
York Herald.
The Calf Itrrsa.
The gulf stream Is a remarkable
oceanic current which derives its name
from the gulf of Mexico, out of which
it flows, pssses Into tbe Atlantic be
tween the coasts of Florida and Cuba
and, after flowing along the coast of
North America until It reaches New
foundland, turns abruptly eastward.
On portion then passes southerly to
ward the A tores, but the larger stream
wstbes the coasts of the British isles
and even reaches to the shores ' of
EpIUbergen and Nova Zembla. It va
ries in velocity at different points of Its
course. It has an average apeed of
four or flv miles an hour as It Issues
from the gulf of Mexico; off Cape nat
ters s the Telocity Is about three miles
an hour, while off Newfoundland It Is
reduced to one and a half miles per
Iwar. In Its passage across the Atlas
tie tbe rate is only four or live mile
per day. The gulf stream Is said to be
fifty miles wld a It flows through the
narrowest part of the strait between
Florida and Cuba; ISO miles wide off

Tbe Ouas, a tribe of Indians Inhabit
ing the nialulaud of the Tlerra del Fu
ego Islaud. are physical giants. Their
average height hi over six feet A few
are six and one-half feet; a few fall be
low six feet Th women are more cor
puleut aud not so tail. There Is no
race lu the world with a more perfect
rhysk'ul development than the Una In
diana. This la partly due to the UHog.
raphy of th country and tbe distribu
tion of th game, which makes kuig
marclies across the country a necessity.
In mentality they fall far Mow their
physical attainments. In the past their
supply of game has beeu plentiful, aud
this may account for the lack of lu
veutlve genius among them. Thla lack
of progressive skill Is portrayed In their
home life, clothlug aud home. Their
children suffer from It tot, contrary to
th practice comaton among most In
dians of feeding, dressing and tralnlug
th rblldreu well, tbe Onas' little one
are mostly naked, poorly fed and alto
gether neglected. They have abundant
material for supplying themselves with
clothing and homes, aud yet they throw
a few branch together, put skins over
th windward aid and Uien shiver un
der the miserable slielter.
Scientists who have mad a study of
the subject say that th language of
th Ouas Is the strangest ever listened
to. Many of th words are not difficult
to pronounce, nor hi the construction
of the sentence difficult, but very few
words are interrupted by a sound
whfc b It Is Impossible to produce. Tbe
speaker hacks, coughs aud grunts, dis
torting his face In tbe most Inhuman
manner, and then passes on to the next
stumbling block. Tbe Onas live princi

ST. SWITHIN AND RAIN.
The Legea ef lh taaal Qr the
Blahaa's Crave.
The superstitious referring to par
ticular days are very numerous. The
legend of ft Swlthiu Is an example
that will occur to every one:
St. Swithln's day. If thou dost rain.
For forty days It will remain;
Bt. Bwllhln dar. If thou be fair.
For forty days 'twill ruin iuk mair.
St Swlthln, bishop of Winchester, Sr
cording to the author of "The I'opnlar
Antiquities," was "a man equally not
ed for uprightness and humility. So
far did be carry tbe latter virtu that
on bis deathbed be requested to be
burled not within the church, but out
side tbe churchyard on the north of tbe
sacred building, where his corpse might
receive the esvesdropplngs from tbe
root and his gravo be trodden by the
feet of pasaersby. His lowly request
wss complied with, and In this neglect
d spot bis remains reposed till about
100 year afterward, when a lit of
pious Indignation seised the clergy at
the fact that th body of so boly a
member of their order was allowed to
occupy suck a position, and on an ap
pointed day tbey all assembled to con
vey It with great pomp to tbe adjoin
ing cathedral of Winchester. When
they were about to commence the cere
mony t heavy rain burst forth and con
tinued without luteruilsslon for th
forty succeeding days. The monks In
terpreted this teuit as a warning
from heaven of the blasphemous nature
of their attempt to contravene the di
rection of St Swlthln. and Instead of
disturbing bis remaiua tbey erected a
cbupel over bis grave." "St Swltbln Is
christening tbe aiM'les" Is th mor po
etical way of describing St Swithln's
rsln. '
The Maes' Phases.
The phases of the moon are caused
by Its relative position to tbe earth and
the sun. so that when It Is full moon
in one part of the earth it is full moon
In all parts of tbe earth, and so fur all
Its other phases. The moon revolves
around tbe earth oueo In twenty-seven
days, though on account of tbe earth's
revolution around the sun the mean
duration of the lunur month that is,
tbe time from new moon tonew moon
Is twenty-nine days, twelve hours
and forty four minutes. The "dark of
the moon" Is that half of th lunar
month during which the moon shines
least at night
