With the horseiess carriage near at. hand it is not too much to hope for the advent of the doglegs sausage. Ladies who wash dishes by hand will be glad to know there is a machine for doing it now. Speak to your husbands about it. Now we will keep quiet about the im- morality of bicycles. Two Chicago ministers are to make a tour of England on them. \Novels are growing shorter,\ says a Chicago paper. Now, if they won't shrink up longer every reader will be delighted. The voters of Great Neck. N. .Y.. have petitioned to have the name of their town changed. They wonder how they have stood it so long. So it is agreed all around that from this time on it is Chicauqua River in- stead of Skunk River. All right! The Skunk by any other name will smell as sweet. The Bostonians literally welcomed the Christian Endeavor delegates \with open arms to hospitable graves\ by throwing opeti the cemeteries for lunch- ing places. The Goulds seem determined to erowd the Vanderbilts and Astors as social leaders. ..One of the nephews of the late lamented Jay has been sued !or hretAth of promise. A lady writer on a Chicago paper, winds up a terrific screed against bloomers by, saying that if they have come to stay she wants to die. This writer probably has the orthodox Chi- cago feet. A writer in Paris says with startling frankness. \I cannot conceive why any one should get married; divorce over here has made the matrimonial tie so lax.\ And we thought that sort of thing was confined to Chicago! Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, is ap- parently striving to win eminence as the meanest scion of royalty on -earth. The contract is a difficult one, but it must be admitted that Ferdinand seems to have success within his grasp. A gentleman -who declares that he is a \cosmic theist\ has tackled Rev. John Snyder for a heated discussion, which may last all yeat, and yet 'some St. houisans are talking of paying rail- road fare to Dallas, Texas. to see Cor- bett and Fitzlmmons scrap. A heroic woman in Pennsylvania saw a little girl drowning in a deserted quarry, and in lieu of a rope \yanked\ off her (the heroic woman's) teagown, flung out one end of it to the perishing child, and saved her (the child) from a watery grave. Of what use would a bloomer woman have been in Buell a case? A Now that it is all over, It may not be deemed impolite to remonstrate, in a spirit of perfect kindliness, against the prayers of otir recentosielightfuf guests, that we all might be made better men and women, says a Boston exchange. It was'well meant, but it did not take note of the difficulty of arriving at utter per- fection on this mundane sphere.

Th18 Is the sig- nal that the ceremony of the night is aloeut to commence, and it seeins to rouse the camp, for within a few nes- lilellts the whide 1,1 the Yezidis in the %alley are seated upon the ground in front of the sitruie lit serried and or- derly rews, leaving It space In the cen- ter, sluing whiu-11 the procession of She maests has presently to pasm.

Fru.in the toter- ior of the white donical edifice emerges first four \Karabamit or Yezidi broth- ers, dervishes of the sect, attired in deepest black from head to foot. They carry lighted torches in their hands. Then follow eight \Kowa's musi- cians, attired wholly In white, four playing the flute, four the cymbals, and tettilomirine. To these succe.sl a half-dozoon young \Pirs\o r priests.

The Yezidi tradition is that Eve in paradise was tempted, not by Satan in the form of a serpent the form of a beautiful peacock. / Behind the kingbird come the twelve elder prtestsof the sect. in Mune colored gowns, and attending these twelce \Kawals\ carying flam- beaux. No layman ever takes part in the processions of ceremonies of the Yezidis. As the procession passes along ihe rise, prostrate themselves upon the ground, raise their right hand toward the \bird\ emblein, then pressIt to their fgreheads. and resume their seats on the ground. The priests march on up the glen, to the notes of the flute, the rhythmic clash- ing of the cymbals and the beating of the tantliourine, until a turn in the valley brings them to a low, white building not unlike In style and char- acter, the tomb in the middle of the glen. There 4re at one end a number of what, appear to be stables, where- in are stalled seven white kine, which are carefully tended and looked after. Hence the edifice is known as the \Sanchutry.of the White Cow.\ These eOWS are said, by their Yezidi, custo- dians, to be sacred to \Shems\—that is to say, the sun—clearly indicating some connection with ancient Huh worship. The ;`Sanettutry of the White Cow\ covers the coneealed un- derground tempi • of the devil worship- pers. and it is here that access is gain - the men folks continued to discuss the good roads matter. It is true, however, that even a small girl can fill up more mod holes with a spade than a United States senator can do with logic. Emilio Castelar thinks America is unjust to Spain. \the mother and dis- coverer of America.\ Spain may be the mother of America, but she never treated her child with any maternal tenderness. She simply u ed her Ameri- can colonies for what could get out of them, and her influence, wherever it has been felt on this continent, has only served to retard progress and pre- -- vent development. It is no wonder that pinch a mother should not he ardently ' loved. John W. Foster says that when IA Hung Chang taa shot at Shimonoseki he did not mind the pain and danger of the wound half so much as he did the do tgrace of having received a bodily in- jury at the hands of a common man. He felt that this stain upon his permit' could never he wiped out, and that he wmild never again be able to hold his head high among his peers. Perhaps If the Japanese had ennobled the young Madman before they hanged him. old Li would have felt hetter. The colleges and schools are cloicea or closing, and what is known as the va- cation is supposed to,prevall, but when the regoilar school stops the summer school hi -gins The summer schools are wideapread and popular.

Ainsit one htindred slimmer schools will hold ofeesions in this country this sum- mer They are scattered Ail oter the land. Some se% etscoso miles or so north- east of Mosul. in Asiatic Turkey, is a delightful highland glen known far and wide throughout the country as the Valley of Sheikh Atli. Eucircied by a low range of verdure clad hills, It Is completely closed in by theut, Mad cut off front the outer world( Time inouutain sides are terraced and at with evergreen oaks, spreading s)t. • -mumps anti glossy terebhiths, clumps of waving paints and gnarled wild olives that afford pleasaut shade and shelter from the fierce beams of the too intrusive Eastern sun.

The musical gur- gle of falling water strikes gently amid soothingly on the ear. while lite ex- pectant eye catches: amid the green of the trees, the rainbow sparkle of a score of tiny rivulets and brooks that spring from the heights above and come tumbling and foaming to the lower grtound. forming miniature cam - codes and cataracts, slowly meander- ing away afterward until they are lost In a stream that finds its outlet In a turn of the glen concealed from view. There Is but one building to be seen in the valley—a rectangular strueture perfectly plain and unpretending, seine forty feet long and thirty feet broad in die centre, with a dome or cupola surmounting it. an enclosed courtyard open to the sky, at one ex- tremity. and a series of small cabins abutting against the other end consti- tuting a part of it. The edifice 18 white.white as enow.and shows In the - glint of the sunbeams speek of glowing metal against t,ue veratint background of fOli:11::e. The glen is an ideal spot, a paradiscal retreat, but. notwithmtandIng this, it hi dreaded and feared loy the people of the stir- romnding country. Moslem.. Christian and Jew all alike avoid it. Not for world would one of them enter it, for the valley is the Moine and \alazar or Meeting place. of the hated \Yezi- dis,\ the devil worshipers of Kurdis- tan, a strange tribe which for sputum- ies has made Satan the object of its adorations, while the white building in the midst of the glen is the tomb of their reputed founder and saint, the Sheikh Adi. Here these secthries of the devil gather three times in the year for the purpose of celebrating thos eerie and unholy rites of their cult which have made them ablowred by their neighbors and fellowmen. Striking and picturesque to a degree is the appearance of the valley as I rode down Into it the gathering dark- ness of a lovely night in early sum- mer. It is the eve of one of the prin- cipal solemnities of the sect, ati'd the place is full of Yezidls who) have e01110 from every part of Kurdistan to greet the \Kak\ or spiritual head of the fra- .ternity, whom I live already met at Aleppo. where he usually remitles. Some two thousand of them are en- camped within the hilly corele rotund. l'heir tents are ()Relied under every tree anti near every till of water.

We go itt, and I find tho' interior a plain quadrangle with a moue at the fur- ther extremity marking the actual burial place of the founder of the Yezidis. The priests and others range themselves as they did in the under- ground temple, the \Farash\ takes a vase of perfumed oil, sticks a good- sized wick In it, lights it, and takes it round to each functionary present Each one sniffs lightly at the scented oil, holds his hand for a moment over the light, and then gently -Strokes his beard.
