A Rich Mans Kind Act.

An incident in a Fourth avenue car con-
tanned just grain of beauty ALI the seats
were occupied, when ON old, poorly dressed
woman entered at Forty second street The
first one to offer his seat was O well built,
clean cut gentleman considerably under the
middle age his face smooth shaven and firm,
his eyes clear and alert, his whole bearing
engaging and graceful. The poor old woman
was one Of those loquacious creatures who
often talk away in an innocent manner to
strangers, and so, after thanking the man
who had given her q seat, she told him of her
intended trip to New Jersey to see her mar
ried daughter. She wanted to go to tho
Christopher street ferry, she said, and didn't
know, for the life of her, how to do it. Her
new acquaintance listened politely to all she
said, and assured her that he would see that
she was transferred to the blue car at Eigh-
tesnth street, which runs to tho ferry
The gentleman's bearing toward the simple
old woman was gaining the admiration of
every one in the car, he was so patient and
good natured with her. At Eighteenth street
he stopped the car. Just then the desired other
car shot across. Rushing to the front plat
form, the obliging gentleman called loudly
to the driver of the cross town car Then he
helped the old woman from one car to the
other, ran back, and smiled good hnmoredly
over all the trouble he had been put to.
The writer recognized this good Samaritan.
He was Cornelius Vanderbilt He had chosen
to do some unusual conductors work on one
of his own lines of cars-New York Sun.

The Yezidees, or Devil worshipers.

The Yezidees win not serve in the Turkish
army, because their religion forbids them to
mingle with the hated Mussulmans, but
escape by paying good round communication
fee yearly. The people are at the lowest
stage of civilization, with no hope of rising
so long as Sheik Adi's rules are in force.
Under the influence of their conditions and
Of the prejudices Of their neighbors against
them, they have become a sinister, malicious,
treacherous people. The rite of hospitality,
30 sacred among the Bedouins, Is unknown
among them. No one can feel safe among
them. They attach no value to human life.
To these ordinary dangers are added those
arising from the embarrassing etiquette Of
conversational intercourse with them; for il
any one inadvertently lets escape the word
devil, Satan, or anything sounding like it, he
commits mortal offense, and to cut off his
head isa God pleasing act and a sacred duty of
the Yezidee the fulfllment Of which will
insure him a place in paradise. Several let
ters are in like manner wi6ly banished from
the language, chiefly those which contain the
sound of 'shun;" also the Arabic word
nallet, Thou art damned, !" which was spoken
by God to the fallen angel when he pitched
him into hell Therefore all words contain
ing similar sounds are set aside, and other
combinations not belonging to any language
are used in their stead.-Dr. L. E. Browski
in Popular Science Monthly.
