The following characterisation of the Arab penchant for not telling the truth is from a paper by Dr. G. Saint-Paul on the Tunisians: “Arab lying is ex- asperating. It is absurd and victorious. It triumphs easily over the critical sense and the habit of scientific rea- soning. It is someunha childish. Your native servants will never be taken unawares. You forbid one of them to smoke in your dining room and you surprise him there with a cigarette in his mouth. ‘You were smoking.’ ‘No.’ ‘I saw you.’ ‘Impossible.’ ‘You had a cigarette in your month; you are hid- ing it in your hand; there it is!’ ‘Then God put it in my hand.’ The native denies always. Taken red handed he denies. Beneath blows he denies. Pain is sometimes powerless to make him confess, even at the point of death. This obstinacy is due in part to the high idea he has of his dignity. His pride forbids him a confession, be- cause the avowal of his lying is in- finitely humiliating in his eyes. The fear of losing ‘faee” is all powerful in him. To recognize a fault is more shameful than to have committed it. Hence .the peculiar obstixmoy of the native in denying. even when it would be to his interest to confess. an ob- stinacy not manifested in other ways." -Journal of American Folk Lore. Canine Intelligence. A native of Peru has vouched for the following: A native pointed out one day a huge white dog that lay be- fore his wattled house. He declared that his dog had intelligence of an alo. most human order. He said that once. when it had broken a bone in its foot. he had taken it to a surgeon and the surgeon had set the fracture and re- lieved it of its pain. Some months aft- erward. in the middle of the night, the surgeon was awakened by a great scratching at his door and by a thump- ing as of some heavy body. He slipped on a dressing gown and went down. to find the white dog in his garden with a brown dog beside it that held one leg of! the ground. The surgeon’s de- duction was that the white dog had brought its companion there for treat- ment. Accordingly be dressed the leg of the injured animal. and thereupon the two dogs licked his hands with an air of gratitude and departed slowly into the night side by side. The Way to Float. This is the advice of an old swimmer to those who cannot swim: “Any hu- man being who will have the presence of mind to clasp the hands behind his back and turn the face toward the zenith may float at ease and in perfect safety in tolerably still water. When you first find yourself in deep water you have only to consider yourself an empty pitcher. Let your mouth and nose, and not the top of your heavy head. he the highest part of you and you are safe. But thrust up one of your bony hands and down you goâ€" turning up the handle tips over the pitcher." There are reason and logic in this. Tolerance. Tolerance is a calm, generous respect for the opinions of others, even of one’l enemies. Tolerance is silent justice blended with sympathy. Tolerance al- ways implies wisdom and kindness. It seeks to convert others from error by gently raising them to higher ordeals. by leading them to broader lines of thinking. by patiently helping them to help themselves. Tolerance does not use the battering ram of argument or the club of sarcasm or the rapier ot ridiculeâ€"Selected. Painful. Johnsonâ€" Does your wife speak French?
