No Place to Live.

There has been some growing because
in Oregon we have had twenty six rainy
days during the past month. People
who feel inclined to resent this should
go over to Japan and "settle" at Gifu,
where during thirty days lately they
have had 1,757 earthquake shocks. This
is one every half hour and few shocks
over. Most people will agree that this is
very shocking state of affairs, and must
have a very deleterious effect on the
dairying industry, as under such cir
cumstances it would be impossible for
cream to rise.
1t is impossible to settle coffee there
with either fishskin or egg shells, and
the grounds have to be held down by
hydraulic pressure. When one reads of
billiards and la grippe on one hand and
perpetual earthquakes on the other, he
can thank his stars that he lives in Ore
gon, where the early and the later rains
fall copiously and the clouds drop their
garnered treasures down promiscuously
and where crops never fail.-Portland

Cursed Words of the Yezidees.

The Yezidees, a peculiar Turkish sect,
are perhaps the only people in the world
which consider certain letters, words
and phrases as being cursed, and the
person who pronounces them a worthy
subject for immediate destruction. They
attach no value to human life, and to
these ordinary dangers are added those
arising from the embarrassing etiquette
Of conversational intercourse with them,
for if any one inadvertently speaks the
word "devl, satan" or anything with
the same meaning, he commits mortal
offense, and to cut off his head is God
pleasing act, sacred duty of the Yezi-
dee, the fulfllment of which will insure
him place in paradise
In like manner several letters are
wholly banished from their language,
chiefly those which contain the sound of
"shun." The Arabian word nallet,
Thou art damned" is also expunged
because it is believed by the Yezidees to
have been the word uttered by God
when the fallen angels were thrown into
hell. These and similar words and
phrases are set aside and combinations
which do not belong to any language
used instead. St Louis Republic.

"Ged Owns the Church. ("

A small New Yorker, while on q
visit to his aunt, who lives In New
Hampshire town, was taken to church
and Sunday school. AS he entered the
church his aunt said:
Now, George, you must remember
to be very quiet while in church You
know that it Is Gods house, and he
would not like it if you did not behave
Well"
The young man needed this admoni-
tion and was quiet as a lamb.
Later he was taken into the Sunday
school room Then again he was eau
toned.
"You must be very good while you are
in here, George" said the aunt, "be-
cause Elisha Brown, the superintendent,
does not like little people who make any
noise"
Again the caution was well received,
and young George was a model of pro-
priety.
When he reached home his mother in
quired how he had liked the church and
if he had been good boy.
He behaved beautifully" said the
aunt, and the mother was much pleased
Young George said nothing just then,
but little later he amused everybody
by remarking, 'The church belongs to
God, but the Sunday school belongs to
Elisha Brown. News.

THE COLUMBIAN ANNIvER sARY

ALBANY. n. Y, May 25--World's fair
Commissioner j. Boyd Thacher is greatly
encouraged in his effort To preserve the
truth of history bv an official certificate
from Professor S. B. Langley, the national
astronomer, declaring that Columbus dis
covered America on Oct. 21 and not Oct.
II, as commonly held. The change of the
calendar from the old style TO the present
brings the astronomical date of the land
Ing on Oct, q, and no other date is possi-
BILE. Professor LanSley's certificate leaves
nothing further to be said on the question
OF which is the correct date. That the
scientific men of the country are anxious
to have the correct date recognized in the
dedicatory ceremonies at Chicago is clear
from the letters Commissioner Thacher re-
celves from them. a letter from Professor
+. W. Putnam, director of American arch
zoology aud ethicology in Harvard univer-
sity says: Il agree with you fully in rela-
ton TO a change of date from Oct y to 81
and think it should be made. Will not

called at the residence of Magistrate
Browntield Friday night. They were
very anxious to be married, and that,
too, in a hurry. 1t was nearly midnight,

said they wanted to catch a train that
left in an hour, but it would take some
time to dress. and the magistrate hit
upon a novel plan. The couple were in

pers were drawn up. and while lying
on his couch the marriage ceremony was
performed Courier Journal.

WORLDS EAlR DoRMIIORlES.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Neat, comfortable
| and respectable living quarters for SO cents
day is what the women of Chicago pro
pose to provide for industrial women DUR
ing the worlds fair. Under the auspices
of the board of lady managers an associa-
tion has been formed to build a nnber of
large dormitories near the exposition
grounds The stock Of this association
has been offered in all parts of the country,
and more than S75, 900 of the $3.50, 900 need
ed to build the houses has already been
taken.
The scheme of building these dormi-
tories WAS originated by Mrs. Matilda b.
Carse, who raised the money to erect the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
building in Chicago Mrs. Carse believes
that many women Of limited means would
not be able TO attend the worlds fair if
they were compelled to stay in hotels. She
decided TO erect these dormitories for the

Mrs. Carse explained her plan
to George N. Pullman, the palace
car magnate, who owns several large
blocks of land near the worlds fair
grounds. He agreed to give the use Of the
ground free of rent in view of the charit-
abe nature of the enterprise. That being
secured, Mrs Carse proceeded to sell stock
in the association. She got plans for dor
guests, and found that two-story frame
could be erected and operated
during the fair for sl50.000 The stock
was divided into shares Of $40 each
Every woman who takes share of stock
is entitled 10 its face value in room and
lodging, at the rate Of 80 cents a day. The
rooms will be clean, comfortable. and un-
der the direct supervision of some of the
leading ladies of Chicago. The only object
of the association is to furnish living
apartments to working women at prices
they can afford to pay. No attempt will be
made to run the dormitories for profit.
The plan has been received with favor by
women all over the country More than
$50, 900 of the stock WAS taken before the
articles of incorporation could be prepared.
The lady managers living III Chicago took
s25 GOO of the stock the day the plan was

made to establish restaurants near the !

Steals Ten or Twenty Dollars at a Time.
There is man over on the north side
who is slowly but steadily growing rich
at the expense of the small storekeepers.
He is thief, but he is successful one,
and is possessed of at least rudiment-
ary idea of humor. For some weeks he
has been making good income by ask
ing for change for ten or twenty dol
lar bill and then walking off with the
bill as well as the change. He is a good
looking man and well dressed, but the
police are unable to find him.
He walked into bakery at 62 Wells
street, owned by l.. Vizena. He was in
his shirt sleeves, and in his hand carried
letter which was addressed "P. H.
Rear, 242 Hubbard street, Milwaukee"
Laying the letter down so that the ad-
dress would show he produced hand
full of change and asked if he could get
ten dollar bill in place of it, saying in
explanation that he wanted to send ten
dollars to friend in Milwaukee and did
not want to make his letter too heavy.
Mrs. Vizena saw the letter, and as it
seemed to bear out his story, produced
the ten dollar bill.
The stranger took the bill, and shov-
ing it and the change in his pocket,
skipped out the door and ran down
Locust street. Mrs. Vizena shouted un-
til she was hoarse, but the man got
away Then she saw the letter, which
was still lying on the counter. 1t was
unsealed and she opened it. Inside was
a part of a sheet of note paper and on it
was written, This is what you mi,
have expected" Mrs. Vizena still has
the letter, but the fellow has her ten
dollars. AS there was an unused stamp
on the letter she only loses $9.9S.-Chi-
cago Herald.

RAILWAY NOTES

New YORK, May 25-At q conference of
the managers of the trunk and lake lines
held in this city yesterday it was unani-
mously decided to advance the freight oa
sixth-class east-bound freight from Chi;
cago to New York to 25 cents per 100
pounds, except grain and its products the
tariff for which was placed at 221S cents
Recently the tariff between these points
was only 20 cents Der 100 pounds. These
rates are now 20 cents via all rail routes,
and Is cents via lake and rail lines. Some
time ago the Central Traffic association
agreed to establish 25-cent rate on all
sixth-class freight except grain and pro-
duce. giving the lake aud rail routes the
benefit of the usual differential OF cents.
This schedule was approved by the Trunk
Line association, but has not been put in
TO effect because the lake and rail lines
were not satisfied with the assurances OF
the Central Traffic people that the 25-cent
rate wouid be maintained.
