Foreign Element in Chicago.

CHICAGO, December 3.-Tbe Chicago
saloon keepers are exercised over the
crusade against what they consider
their rights in the matter of Sun
day selling. They claim the enforcing
of strict law compelling the closing
of saloons on the Sabbath day, would be
a great injustice to the genera popula-
tion of the city. They have prepared
statistics from the school census of last
year to support their arguments that
the Sunday law should not be enforced
in this city. Their table shows there
were In 1884, ia, 900 people In Chicago
having English and American charac-
teristics, and presumably in favor of the
Sunday observance. On the other hand
there were 1000 Irish, 100000 Ger
mans, 5000 Scandinavians, Is, 900 Bohe-
mians, $4,000 Poles, 10000 French, 1000
Italians, 5000 Africans, 24,000 Swedes,
$4,000 Norwegians, and 5000 Danes and
other nationalities, making total OF
nearly 100000 foreigners. 1t Is claimed
that a large majority OF these foreign
ers are in favor of open saloons and
amusements on the Sabbath, and on
this ground the liquor dealers, at a fu-
ture meeting, will demand a cessation
of hostilities and take steps to secure a
modification of the laws now existing
against the so-called freedom of the
Sabbath

conditions of life are completely changed. 1t

the Nile, the only supply of water is derived
from deep wells-few, scanty, and far apart.

much more plentiful than in the deserts, as
sured me that, the summer before, water had

proprietors OF the few wells that had not
dried uu When long droughts occur, the
always scanty crop OF doura fails away from
the Nile, and the greater parts OF the hocks
and rds perish, as well as a considerable
part of the population. IL follows naturally
that when undertaking journey through the
desert, the paramount question Is water. A
supply must be carried sufficient to last to
the next well, be 1t one or five days distant.

pended from the Camels acx- saddles. These

Blanket.Sheqts to Go to Sleep with.

A company in New Jersey is making
paper counterpanes aud pillow shams.
No. l manila paper is used. two large
sheets held together by small Irvine at
intervals of three or four inches,
gummed so as to stick the sheets to-
gether where the Irvine lies The Irvine
strengthens the paper. The margin Of
the Counterpart has hem, in which
there is more of the Irvine to keep it
from tearing. Beautiful designs are
printed upon the pillow shams, which
make very neat appearance. When
they become wrinkled they can be made
smooth by hot fat-irons. They retail
at 70 cents set. The Counterpart can
be left on the bed when it is occupied,
if so desired, and in cold weather it
will be found very neat and warm ar

will prevent the escape of heat about
