A woman. PredIcament.

The Chicago Post describes the sad
case Of woman who was waiting at
the "limits car barn" for an Evanston
avenue car. There were plenty OF
Evanston cars, but her transfer check
was good only on the avenue line, and
she was determined not to pay another
fare.
At last, "a night approached, she
went to telephone and called up her
husband. She told him the situation
that no Evanston avenue cars
seemed to be running, that it was get
ting dark, and she was afraid. What
should she do2
"Why, take an Evanston car" he
replied. 80
But shall have to pay another
fare, she objected.
"Well, what of it? You don't want
to stay there, do you?"
"But l can't" she said, and hesi-
tated.
"Why not?" he asked.
Because e-because, | haven't any
money. just used my last dime in
the telephone to call you up
And then she wondered at the laugh
which reached her ears over the wire

is very curious, being compounded OF
Mohammedanism mixed with some
elements of Christianity. 1t is hard
for any one to say precisely what the
Druses do believe, but their life is a
peculiarly simple and righteous one,
Justice liz done ut any cost, aud ahigh
sense of honor is well developed.
Like other Orieutals, the Druses sit
cross legged on the ground and help
themselves Mt meals from large dishes
placed in the centre of the group.
They seem to be industrious and salts
fed, although tho dreams Of former
glories sometimes rouse them TO
strange flights of patriotic fervor.
Lovers of Browning will be glad TO
learn something about that strange
people utilized by him for one of his
most dramatic poems.
The Germans assert, aud have fig
ures to prove, that the efforts of their
railroad To Angora and the district
south of it, Kouiwyah, have stimulated
the people to renewed effects for the
requirement of agricultural wealth.

who reduced 20 a written language
the spoken language Of the CherokeCs
and invented an alphabet which, in
appearance, is as unique as the Greek
or Persian. Already funds for the
monument have been subscribed, and
the people are taking IL mp with much
interest. IL is proposed TO erect the
monument on the public square at
Tahlequah, the capital Of the Chero-
kee nation.
There Is no authentic written his
tory OF Sequoyah's life. Thomas l..
Mckinney has contributed some per-
sonal "reminiscences, written while
Sequoyah was alive Little is known
OF Sequoyah outside Of the work that
made him famous. He led secluded
life. He came TO the West in 1884 or
1885. The house in which he lived is
still standing, seven miles north of
Sequoyah court house.
II is said that Sequoyah, in the
latter years of his life, made several
journeys 10 the far West. In 1Si3 he
visited the Pueblos in New Mexico,
where he tried TO correlate their lan-
guage with that Of the Cheyennes,
and lived for several months about
fifteen miles southwest Of Santa Fe.
Upon his return from his last journey
in the West he was taken i'll and died
near the great bend of the Arkansas
River, few miles from the present
site OF Great Bend, Kan. His death
occurred in 1857 or 1853.
There is regularly printed in the
Cherokee language weekly news
paper, the Cherokee Advocate, at
Tahlequah. The Cherokee typograph
is a model of neatness and the printed
pages have an attractive appearance,
although their contents are hidden
beneath apparently indecipherable
hieroglyphics. There are more than
eighty separate characters in the al
phabet. Many Roman letters are used
for convenience, but their sound is
unlike that given in the English lam

SFRAhGESf AMONG The
PEOPLE OF the WORLD ARE
The DRUSES Of SYRIA.

DIR. Max Oppenheim, distinguished
European scie mist and scholar, re-
,ently completed one of the most re-
markable journeys ever undertaken
In the East. He explored little known
and out of the way parts of the Holy
Land. He penetrated to Damascus,
which is rarely visited, and made
,areful observations Of the life Of the
people now living in that ancient city
During his journey DR.. Oppenheim
took a multitude of photographs show
ing the daily life of the people he Wis
ted. These have now been devel-
oped and printed in the New York
Herald and they have excited much
interest among scientific men in Ger
many who have learned Of the results
Of DIR. Oppenheim's journey.
DIR. Oppenheim made his way with
a private caravan from the Mediter-
ranean TO the Persian Gulf. The at
tention of the world is fixed upon this
wide domain, for hero lies the land
which Germany, England and Russia
are competing with one another to pos
sess by the building OF railways. To
gain any real information of the peo-
pie inhabiting this country man
must be not merely an observer, but
n lnguist as well. He should under
stand Turkish, Arabic, Syriac and
other Oriental tongues, and DIR. OPP
penheim was well fitted for his task,
after residence in Egypt OF several
years.
Landing at Beyrout he gathered his
little caravan about him, and worked
his way up through the Lebanon
Mountains. He found q mixed null
titude inhabiting these mountains, 80
famous for their cedars in Bible times.
The Syrians, he found, were Chris
tians, but there were any number OF
sects, Roman Catholic, Maronites,
Jacobites, Greek Catholics and 9TH
ers. He attributes much of the suf-
fering of these people to their divis-
ions aud lack of intelligent leaders.
The Jesuits and those coming from
the American mission at Beyrout, says
DIR. Oppenheim, seemed to exert the
best and deepest influence upon the
people. They are not prosperous,
and as a result some ten thousand OF
the men emigrate every year.
Among the women, DIR. Oppenheim
says, he found many remarkable for
their beauty. Some European inhu-
ences, especially French and German,
are now being brought to bear for the
development of agricultural interests
and industrial arts, but with no great

Taking II Easy"

On my way down the hill toward
the red bridge, says Bradford Torrey,
in the Atlantic, | met a man riding in
some kind OF rude contriyance, not TO
be called a wagon or a cart, between
two pains of wheels. He lay fiat on
his back, as in a hammock, and, to
Judge by his tools and the mortar on
his clothing, must have been a mason
returning from his work. He was
taking it easy at all events. We
saluted each other, aud he stopped
his horse and sat up. "You used to
be round here, didn't you?' he asked.
Yes. l said, l had been here a good
deal. of and on. He thought he re-
membered me. He had noticed me

birds a good deal. didn't you?" |
pleaded guilty, and he seemed glad.
"You ate well?" he added, aud drove
on. Neither Of Us had said anything
in particular. but there are few events
of the road more TO my taste than
such chance bits Of noighborly inter.

Mhern the sfnIe Egrs 90.

BY saying stale eggs is meant those
that are not strictly fresh or that have
been preserved for very long time.
Many of the eggs that belong to this
class are used by bakers, not only for
the yolks, but for the coloring matter.
1t is estimated that 40,00O,0OO are
used by calico printers, and another
100, 900, 900 go to numerous photo
graphic supply establishments, book.
binders, glove manufacturers and
leather fiuishers. This estimate may
be exaggerated somewhat, but it gives
an idea of the large extent to which
such eggs are used.

Damage from Wind storm.

The severe wind storm Of last week
created considerable damage through
out the state. AT Vergennes, telephone
wires we're crossed and broken. Much
damage was done to the orchards,
many pears, plums and apples being
blown from the tress. The wind
blew hardest in years along the lake
shore in the vicinity Of Adams Ferry
and Basin Harbor. A schooner was
reported sunk south of Adams Ferry
with all on board. The waves on the
lake were from 10 TO 20 feet high.
Several trees in the state house grounds
at Montpelier were blown down.
Some farmers report corn leveled to
the ground. The telegraph and tele-
phone wires at Montpelier were
badly mixed up, the only
connection at the telegraph Office
in the afternoon being a wire TO Bur-
lington and one to White River
Junction. At White River Junction
the dining tent at the state fair grounds
was blown down and the Democratic
banner destroyed. Winooski and
Middlebury suffered damage to shade
and fruit trees. In Burlington, the
most thrilling event of the day was
the landing OF the sail yacht Nara
ganset, which had started for Platts-
burg but was obliged to turn and run
before the wind. The boat was just
in front of the steamer Maquam and
at times the waves were so high that
only the top OF the steamers smoke
stack could be seen. The members OF
the party say that the waves were 30
feet high. A large crowd saw them
from the dock and at times the boat
would disappear and it was thought
the party was surely lost. During
the trip the tender was swamped.
The steamers Of the Champlain
Transportation Co. were all out in the
storm but none Of them had any
difficulty. The schooner which was
reported sunk near Adams Ferry was
safely anchored at Westport.
