Experience of Woman Traveler While Croin8 Sahara. What it means to encounter a sand storm In the desert of Sahara Is de scribed by Mrs. Palmer Thomas: "Few things bring such a sense of utter powerlessness as a desert sandstorm, and I shall never forget my experience of one. Our dragoman one day sudden ly called our attention to a darkening horizon line. 'See, he said; "sandstorm comes. No man will ride in such.' We had barely time to dismount and make the camels kneel In a circle on the sand before tbe storm was upon us. Each man threw his kaftan over the peaks of his saddle and crouched with in the shelter it afforded and that formed by the animal's body behind him, ' while I nestled In the hollow formed by my camel's neck and shoul der, drawing the folds of the blanket like stuff tightly over me. Tbe wise beast, knowing what was coming, turned her long neck right round and laid her bead on my knees, seeking the protection of my cloak for her eyes against the sand, which, driven by tbe fury of the wind, struck tbe face like powdered glass. "But I looked out upon the scene as long as I could, watching what appear ed to bo a mass of brown gauze veils streaming up across the sky, darkening the sunlight and gradually blotting out everything from our sight An Icy wind preceded tbe cloud, increasing In Intensity every minute until the sound of its roaring made one's own voice inaudible, while the darkness became that of densest nigbt And so we sat silent in the noise and the blackness until the hurricane abated. Then, look ing out again, I saw the brownish mass of cloud flying before the wind away toward the Kile, some forty miles distant and the cloudless blue of a March sky In Egypt once more over spread above us. "But the legs of our beasts were all covered with the sand that bad fallen, and notwithstanding my sheltered po sition tbe sand was lying on my dress and hat and was thick upon us. For some time we watched the brown, cloud losing itself In tbe immensity of the desert, where the whitening bones of animals tell with sad frequency of the overwhelming fury of these sud den tempests; then we mounted and rode away."

While cruising In the south seas the whaler Essex on Nor. 20, 1S20, was fu riously attacked by a cow sperm whale supposed to have been the mother of a calf which had Just been harpooned. The whale bad not been wounded her. self, and her attack was very deter mined. At her first rush she passed under tbe Essex and carried away a great length of her false keel Then, coming to the surface a considerable distance away, she appeared to take bearings and deliberately charged the vessel again, ramming her with such violence that she stove in the bows, while the ship rolled so heavily that the captain thought she must be dis mantled. The case is memorable be cause the crew had to abandon the vessel, and one boat was never beard of again. A more singular instance of a whale attacking a vessel occurred in 1895. The singularity lies in the fact that In the case of the Handa Isle tbe attack was entirely unprovoked. This vessel, a brlgantlne of 2C0 tons, was on her. way to Sydney with a cargo of timber. On Aug. 24, about noon, a couple of sperm whales rose very, close to the vessel and, while the crew watched them "sporting" across her bows, the pair suddenly slued around and came straight for her. One thought better of It and dived below the Handa Isle. The other struck her fair and square on the beam, crushing in her timbers. Having rammed the ship in this reso lute fashion It sheered off, terribly damaged about the head, and present ly sank tall first Fortunately there were some pack ages of rawhides on board, and the crew were able to keep the vessel afloat with the pumps until a rough and ready collision mat had been fash ioned out of these and drawn over the leak. Bailey's Magazine. Women of the Kurds. As to the way the Kurds treat their women, an Asiatic traveler says: "They neither veil them nor impose upon them heavy manual labor. Their women are well clothed and are free to ride abroad, bully their husbands and express their opinion In public af fairs with as loud a voice as any suf fragist could desire. To see a woman of sixty upright as a lance and with a good figure is not uncommon, and that I think, is a sufficiently striking testimony to any one acquainted with the east" A Practical Letter. There has recently been an outcry against the deterioration In modern letter writing, but the following epis tolary triumph from a tailor has lev eled things up.
