TRAVELED BY DEVIOUS WAYS
Correspondent Experienced Acute Dis
comfort While on a Journey
Through the Holy Land,
It is eight or nine miles, as I esti-
mate, from the Euphrates to Censtap-
tinople, if one follows the course of
the Bagdad railroad, whose track is
laid a part of the way where the feet
of the “ten thousand” had marched,
where St. Paul had tramped in his
first and second missionary journeys,
and where Godfrey of Bouillon, Tan-
cred, Baldwin, Raymond and Bohe-
mond had passed, and Frederick the
First had perished.
In my anabasis (if I may give my
lonely expedition a name so ambitious
and yet so contemned by many a
youth) from the Euphrates toward
Constantinople I had to make a cir-
cuitous journey, as did St. Paul from
Damascus, writes John H, Finley in
July Scribner's. I went first from
Aleppo to Damascus, then to Jeru-
salem, then to Haifa (near old
Caesarea where St. Paul took ship),
and then by sea to Beirut and Herina,
on the coast of Asia Minor, a few
miles from St. Paul's “home town”
Tarsus, which was also the same town
as that toward which Jonah sailed
from Jaffa, when evading the call to
Nineveh. But the reader would, I
fear, find this an uncomfortable and
perhaps a tiresome trip, even to read
of, for I traveled most of the way in
freight cars (of the type known to our
soldiers in France, accommodating
“forty-five hommes or eight chevaux”)
on a trawler (which was absolutely
the most uncomfortable means of
transportation that I had ever en-
dured) and on a British “destroyer”
which might very fitly have borne St.
Paul’s name before he changed it, in
the days when he was “breathing cut
threatenings and slaughter.”
There is a shorter and less indirect
way, for, speaking generally, there is
no direct way from one place to an-
other in that part of the world. This
Is probably the reason why the street
in Damascus called “Straight” got its
distinguishing name,
SUFFERED FOR THEIR FAITH
French Huguenots Driven Into Exile
by the Revocation of the Edict
of Nantes.
The Huguenots were the Puritans of |
France in the sixteenth and seven- |
teenth centuries. The name was first |
used about 1560; its origin is un-
known. The Huguenots suffered se-
werely in the reigns of Francis I and
his immediate successors, and after
1562 were frequently involved in war,
under the leadership of such men as
Admiral Coligny and King Henry of
Navarre, afterwards Henry IV of
France. Coligny and from 20,000 to
30,000 others fell in the massacre of
8t. Bartholomew, August 24, 1572. It
is disputed in history whether this |
was suddenly caused by the discov-
ery of Huguenot plots or had been
premeditated. In spite of all this,
they continued numerous and power-
ful and the edict of Nantes, issued i®
4598 by Henry IV gave them full po-
litical and civil rights. Their power
was broken after the surrender of
LaRochelle and the revocation of the
edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685,
and hundreds of thousands of Hugue-
nots went into exile, going to Prus-
sia, Holland, Switzerland, England,
Scotland and America.
| : Dancing in Haiti,
Dancing to the music of a drum,
saxophone and flute is the chief source
of amusement for Haitians in their lit-
tle villages on Saturday night, accord-
ing to an article by William Almon
Wolff in Collier's. Beginning at sun-
down every Saturday night, he writes,
one will come to a wine shop, if one
follows the sound of the drum. The
drummer sits outside.
drumming marks the rhythm of the
music; what melody there is, is borne
by a flute, and almost always there is
a saxophone. The music is the same
at every dance. It is in common tone;
a single cadence is repeated, over and
over again.
Dancing in Haiti resembles the sat-
urnalia among the Australian aborigi-
nes, Mr. Wolff writes. The dancers
are frank and unashamed and one gets
little or no feeling of a personal note
between the two one sees dancing;
rather they are staging a spectacle.
Materials for Buttons.
For no other human purpose are so
many different kinds of materials used
as for button-making. Products of the
tilled field, the forest, the stream and
the sea—vegetable, animal and min-
eral—are turned to this account. :
Buttons are common, middle-class
and aristocratic—{rom the bone button.
of the laboring man to the jeweled one

darin’s cap.
Among the by-products of the pearl.
button industry are poultry grit, fish
food and “condition powders” for hogs
and chickens. The waste shell is a
constituent of artificial marble and,
floortile, and an ingredient of jewelry:
polishes, soaps and cleansing powders.

Dr. Charles L. Fry, of Philadelphia,
field secretary of the United Luther-
an Brotherhood in America, will de-
liver his address on “The Brother-
fonte Lutheran church at 7:30 o’clock
this evening.
Dr. Fry is one of the leading men
in that denomination, and a most
forceful speaker. His address will
deal with the matter of organizing
for service the man-power of the
church, and the presentation of such
a timely subject by a man of Dr.
Fry’s calibre should be not only inter-
esting but highly instructive.

Surgeon General Rupert Blue said:
“The wisest thing to do is for every
person to avoid contact with those af-
fected; to keep out of crowds and
crowded places; to be on the lookout
for the first symptoms and when these
appear to go directly to bed and sum-
mon a physician.”
