GOT ON TRAVELER'S NERVES Loaded Camel in Cafe More Than Even Experienced Tourist Could ~ Comfortably Endure. e —_— 0 Your bold professional voyager doesn’t notice the Bedouin camp—not chick, goat, lamb, ass, dog, camel, brat, womean or flea. He has seen far too many of them, Or, if he does glimpse the thing, it is only to remind him of a really rather curious crowd he once ran across in the Upper Caucasus, or perhaps it- was among the Ooaa sect of the Kilolaoli in the southern atolls of the Paumotus—the same place, by the by, where he happened upon the man with the lisp and the whalebone amulet—whieh is another story. . ..

QUEEN CHOSE PEASANT MATE One of the Favorite Stories of the Many Found in Folklore of : Bohemia. ' . Bohemian folklore contains many interesting - and Inspiring stories, but all of.them express the national feeling and the aspirations of a subJject people for independence. Now that. the World war established Czechoslovakia as a free state, the national consclousness has redoubled the interest in Bohemian history and fiction. : o A favorite story is of the Princess Libussa, youngest and wisest of Prince Krok’s three daughters. She was intelligent, with perfect morals and active in deeds for the welfare of her peoplé. Endowed as a seeress, the people chose her to be their ruler. Libussa in return asked the people to choose their king. They waived this privilege, and the queen sent them.far away to find a young peasant, who would be 'plowing in a field with two oxen, whose spots the queen described. The messengers brought back this man and he became king. e Together Libussa and her husband founded Prague (Praha), the queen prophesying the: city would become world famous. The peasant king defined its limits by throwing up a furrow with his plow. His shoes were worn by kings for generations as a pledge that they would protect the interests of the peasants.

_ _ Panama Hats. : . Most of the so-called Panama hats are made in Ecuador. The material is called paja toquilla and comes from a palm two or three meters high. The leaves are cut just as they are about to unfold, the veins taken out and the fiber remaining is dipped for a few minutes in boiling water to which a little lemon juice is added for bleach; ing purposes. Each leaf has approximately 30 strands “about 55 centimeters in length, although the best grade reaches 80 centitmeters. The hats can be woven only during the part of the day when the humidity is greatest, since the straw of the best quality is not dampened. A man working six hours a day completes an ordinary hat in six or seven days, but on a very fine one he spends a month and a half; it is the labor, therefore, which makes the hats expensive. The most famous are those of Monte Cristi; they. surpass all others In fineness, lightness and perfection. s ' Advance With the Years.

To find life easy you.must develop right habits that make life 'automatic. Men who develop right attitudes toward toll soon become unconsclous adepts in things burdensome to others. There’s real joy in being able to surpass those who would be your competitors. After all it's just a matter of being on the job. ; - The normal man dreads the day when he will not be rated at his best. It is foolish to-imagine that you will never grow old, That's part of nature. The way to enter the older stage without embarrassment is to rise with. the business to where you won’t have to do the, physical tasks that require young shoulders. Let youth hustle the merchandise, you rise to the point of telling them where to put it.—Grit.

American Poisonous Snakes.

There are four poisonous groups of snakes within the boundaries of the United States. These are: “the moccasin, rattler, copperhead and harlequin. All are easily distinguished by their large; broad ‘heads, deep-set black eyes, small neck, stout bulky body and short tail. The most dangerous of these perhaps is the moccasin, for it usually rests on branches of low trees and shrubs and strikes at a passing victim. However, it will refrain . from striking unless irritated and will give battle only when teased or frightened, ‘ S e

LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY FEW Vagrants in East End of London Use . an Ancient Celtic Tongue Among Se "Themselves. : Shelta Thar! is a language used secretly among people of the tinker class and principally to be met with in Scotland and Ireland. ‘lts use was first discovered and made known in 1876 by Charles K. Leland, an American antiquarian, and Prof, John Sampson of Liyerpool. " One day, while walking by the-seashore at Aberystwyth, they encquntered a tramp who addressed them in an unknown tongue. Both were versed in ' the Romany or gypsy language and were much surprised to meet one who spoke a tongue of which they knew not a weed. / " They collected a number of phrases from this man and found on inquiry that he had acquired this strange speech from -his wife, who was a tinker. The tinkers, he said, Kkept their knowledge of the language a secret, speaking it only among themselves. Later Leland encountered many other persons who spoke Shelta. He found that in many of the drinking places in the East end of London, where vagrants often congregate, the language was freely employed, but that when an outsider made his appearance, it ceased at once to be spoken. Scientific methods applied to the study of Shelta proved that it §s no mere system of back slang or cant, but an ancient €eltic speech. : - Romany, the lapguage of the English: gypsies, is still spoken by a large rumber of persons. Among the maJority of them it has become corrupt, but the older gypsy folk still speak what is known as “deep” Romany, that is, the gypsy language in its pure state., _ ;

" The dialect of Shetland, although its grammar is Lowland. Scotch, 18 very largely Norse and as spoken by the Shetlanders among themselves is scarcely understandable by the average Scotsman. On the Isle of Man, a Celtie tongue different from Gaelie or Welch is still used by & number of the inhabitants. L :
