The NEXT METEOR publ

The NEXT METEOR. The public
interest by the great meteor of the Goth
ult. will be likely to be reawakened, in
a measure, by the recurrence Of anoth-
or and much more remarkable season
of such displays which is near at hand.
Shooting stars are seen every month Of
the year, but there are some half-dozen
periods during which they are very
abundant. These are April %, Is,

teor appeared-Aug. OIL, Oct. 1913,

quently brilliant displays, but the day
is not stationary. The August epoch
seems to have been the richest Of late
years. 1t hardly ever fails to bring a
very abundant harvest Of meteors.-
Formerly that of Nov. 1914 exceeded
all others. The December epoch seems
to be poor, and the second one of No.
vember the most barren of all.

Isaac, two.twelflhs to Harry, and should
keep halt of the pie for myself, what would

as q signal that he wss ready to answer.
'Well, sir, what would there be left p

SUCH Is MAN.-Who is rich ? He
who is contented with his lot
WHO is happy He who loves every
body.
Who is honored? He who pursuea
the even tenor of his way.
Who is good p? He who has the fear
of God before him. 7 81
How easy, then, to be rich, happy,
honcred and good. But yet multitudes
in striving for the blessings, take the
ve.y steps that are sure to defeat their
objects. In getting rich, they find no
end to their desires. In striving for
happiness, they hate everybody who do
not follow in the steps they have chos.
en-. In gaining honors they push them
selves forward, crowding aside the most
worthy, until they have outstripped
themselves and sink. In their desires
for goodness, they forsake the source
of all good, and hug the most evil pas
sions to their bosoms.
THUS is poor feeble man. He Ia
bors for what he can never obtain. and
atlast dies with "vanity-all is vanity"
upon his lips.
The simple path is the true path
The humble walk is where Heavens
blessings are showered. They who are
meek and humble, live nearest the
truth, and receive the richest blessings.

TIE Moslems are the ruling race
over oil the country, except in eban-

the Sunitcs and the Sites. The total
population is thus estimated at ], &c..
900, exclusive, however, Of the, noma-
die Arabs, whose number is SGT down
BY the best authorities at half million.
Thus far in all the bloodshed in LIE i.
banon none of the American mission
families have been injured. The
"Christiaps" who are spoken Of as
murdered by hundreds and thousands
are adherents Of the native church.
Those who belong to churches gathered
by the missionaries are called by way
Of distinction "Prctestants." From

The ferocity of the Druses surpasses

THsa SYRIAN MAssAcRRs.-Who
arenthe Druses !2-This blood. thirsty
sect of Christian slayers in Syria have
figured continually in history for many
centuries yet not much i certainly
known in regard to them. They are
sect claiming to be unadulterated Uni
tari.ns. Dursi, from whom they de-
rive their name, they consider pupil
of Hamsa, who is their regular Messiah.
Hamsa prevailed upon the Egyptian
Calipb, tHakem, to represent himself,
after the fashion Of Mohammed, as q
direct messenger from Heaven. Ham
90 lost no time, but theoretically
preached and wrote in defense of tho
new faith which he had succeeded in
manufacturing. About the year 1920
of the Christian era, he wrote q regular
creed for his followers-this creed to
be kept profound secret from all but
the initiated Druses. Hamsa was not
successful in keeping his writings Sc
cret. They were published and can be
found, in part, to this day in the Eu-
ropcan libraries.
These Druses believe in the invisible,
supreme God, who can only be compre-
hended through human manifestations.
The Rgyptisn Caiph Hakem, to whom
We have referred, was the last manifes-
tation of God in the flesh. After oil,
however, the Druses are only . species
of Mohammedans- considering Mo-
manned one Of their law givers.
These fanatical people have always
hated the Christians with cordial
hatred, and now, at almost one fell
blow, they have virtually exterminated
Christianity in that country, thus bring
ing to naught tho good work which had
been SO laboriously accomplished, af-
ter years of patient trial, by the Chris
tan Missionaries. #.

CR1NoL1NE.-The New York World
says-"Few persons imagine the extent
of the trade in crinoline wire. For
about three years past, the consumption
of wire by the crinoline workers in this
country has been not far from one hun
dred tuns per week. The vie is of
steel, and the price has ranged from
fifteen to thirty cents per pound. At
the average-twenty-two ccnts-the
yearly consumption amounts to 49,
464 900. A few months since, the Or
ders to first hands greatly diminished,
and fears were apprehended by the
that the harvest was over.
But the lull was caused by an overstock
in the hands Of crinoline makers, Who
had ordered too freely. At present the
demand is as active as ever, and prices
are advancing. The ladies will be sur
