About the Garden OF Eden.

The chief popularity about Kurna
Is that the natives believe the place
where they live is the exact site Of
the Garden Of Eden, says the Chris
tian Herald. The climate of Kurna
Is acknowledged to be the most trying
in all the world. The heat is terrific
in the summer. 1t is claimed that the
British government has a record of
159 degrees in the shade upon the
bridge of boat anchored in the river
at Busreh, a little to the south. The
missionaries at Busreh tell Of nights
when the thermometer registers not
less than 1875 degrees. British sailors
bound for the Persian Gulf in the
summer time usually desert If they
can. Perhaps in Arizona the ther-
mometer rises nearly as high; but
there the air Is dry, while in the Per-
sian Gulf 1t is exceedingly moist. The
Europeans at Busreh must pass the
days in underground chambers, or
serdaubs, while a native boy pulls a
huge fan, or punkah, suspended from
the ceiling, to keep the air in circula-
ton. The nights are spent on the
roof, for 1t is impossible to sleep be-
low. In the winter time the air seems
exceedingly cold, for the marshes are
filed with salt; and as the wind
sweeps over the plain the moist salt
air is peculiarly penetrating. Fre-
quently the Arab, benumbed by the
cold, falls from his horse.

GOT ANY UNUSED STAMPS u?
Use Of Certain Stamps Abandoned.
Unused Ones Redcemable.
(The State, 15th.)

CThe State, 15th.)
Since those sections Of the Federal
stamp act known as schedules A and
B were abolished at midnight of Au-
gust s by act Of Congress, many who
have a supply Of these stamps on
hand have written D. c. Hayward,
collector of internal revenue, regard
ing the disposition of these stamps.
Collector Hayward said yesterday
that there was a special form for fl
ing a claim against the internal reve-
nue. department and upon application
this form, known as No. 46, would be
furnished to any who might have
stamps on hand. The reasons why
the refund was asked, together with
statement as to where the stamps
were purchased, that Is whether from
the collectors office or elsewhere, if
purchased at discount and the date
Of purchase, should be inserted on
the face of the claim and sworn to
before a notary with seal and for
warded to the collectors Office with
the stamps. Mr.. Hayward said that
many parties holding these stamps
were sending them to his Office with
out the claim form and Of course
these cannot be considered and the
owners run the risk Of losing their
stamps. After the claim has been eX-
amined by the collector it is forward
I'd to the commissioner of internal
revenue at Washington, where final
action Is taken and the claim is either
allowed or rejected.
