The Pint in America.

In a queer nook in New York City, amid scenes and surroundings strongly savoring of the Oriental, a journalistic child has been born. It is the first child of its particular nationality to be born in the United States. It has been christened Kawkab America, meaning the Star of America. It is a little four-page, four-columns-to-a-page paper and is printed partly in Arabic and partly in English. Upon its editorial staff can be found more good linguists than on that of any paper in the United States. There is not one of its members who cannot speak and write at least five different languages.
