A subaltern came into the of- asked I do? * “Yes. I want to see him, he’s in the Blan-kshires, \isn’t he?â€"Arthur Dun- "Yes; he’ll be back in a minute.

Turks’ Ignorant Al‘y Has Strange Cus “tomsâ€"One V:r'cue The Arab fighting with the 'E‘r-rks in Mesomtamia has some curious Ways. He takes off his "ices when he enters a house. but i" sens on his hat. He reads and writes from right to left. He eats scarcely anything for breakfast or dinner, but in the. even- ing he sits down to a hot meat swim- ming in oil. His sons eat with hi .1. but the ladies oT' the. househv‘r‘ till the males has. finished.

The Arab has one strong Virtue, and that is, he is rarely seen drunk. He is not very affectionate, is very ignorant. and has so little ‘I- initiative that he rarely taxes on any- thing worth doing, or attempts to (carry out any enterprise. Flight-Lieut. Brandon, a New Zeal- wder in the Royal navy, who has put in the first claim for having chased, bombed and brought down the Zeppe- lin L15 in the Thames Estuary stands to win, if awarded the prizes offered, AAA AAA‘ 00:...A a sum amounting to $10,000. Sin-e. Brandon put in his claim, however, many gunners and, indeed, whole bat- teries of the Royal artillery anti-air- craft experts along the line of flight of the airship, have put in claims. mt. Tennant, Under-Secretary for ,War. informed the House‘ of Commons that these several claims were being investigated. Itâ€"was Brandon who. single-handed. rose above the Zeppelin, and in the midst of shot and shell, dropped bomb after bomb and actually saw the monster suddenly descend, as he believed, the victim of his well-- directed shots. Very odd,‘ ’onder Why 9’, ned ruly. Dtain French racing horses’ ° names are now almost all inspired by the .war. The names of favorite generals, Joffre and French, for instance, are common; battles in which the allies came out on top find favor, such as La Marne; Tipperary is also in the field; while names of the French cannon "Seventy- flve," “Hundred and five.” Rimailho are very popular. French love of irony is seen in such names as Chir- ton de Papier (scrap of paper), Finis, Tcutonice. and La Censure. . )1 l he left the Odd fellow," “Captain Duncan about?” he 0t STRANGE ARABxFDES DC 3': Notice Duncan Aviator vs. Zcpp ; Mn able. “Haven't seen one England.” The R.T,.O. 2 his work.
