A well-known story from Syria is of a monastery goatherd who noticed that the animals in his charge became lively to the point of refusing their customary siesta after browsing on the leaves and fruit of a strange bush.

This led to the idea of trying its effect on monks, who were given to somnolence at evening prayers. From the Arabic name of the brew, "kahwa," came the word "coffee" and its variants in European language. Old Wedding Customs The throwing of rice and shoes has always been done in significance of fertility and good luck, and is done frequently just because it is a custom, without the participants quite knowing why, escept that it seems fun.

Officially an ethnologist, his real job is to help maintain tha whit man's peace oyer a million squar miles of savage country. Back from 1 dangerous search for an Annamite revolutionary, Holden now plans a thrVe months' holiday.

CHAPTER III "But how can a little nation like Siam keep such a treasure?" the girl asked. "The great nations of the world are-onto too willing.

The Emerald Buddha is political dynamite. It's less of a menace here in a srrsll independent kingdom than in any other Oriental country. Suppose, for instance, the Annumites should get hold of it. It would instantly waken a wave of religious enthusiasm that would unite all native factions and might sweep their French rulers into the sea. Besides it's the palladium of the royal Siuniesu "l'alladium.
