BELIEVE DEVIL RULES EARTH
Probably Queerest Rellfllou Faith
That of Tribe of Kurdish and
Arabian Blood,
One of the strangest religious sect
In the world 1 known a the Yezedl,
a race of mixed Kurdish and Arabian
Mood. They worship the devil, am
believe he will rule the earth for
10.000 years, 4.000 of thla number hav
ing already passed. On the theory
that Jesus la good, and will not harm
them, they give most of their devotion
and sacrifice to the devil who, they
assert, will at the end of the . next
8,000 years, be put Into hell, where
he will weep ao hard he will put out
the fires, and then will be pardoned
and given back hi rightful place In
heaven.
The Yezedl believe that there were
71 Adam and a similar number of
Eves, and that the originals once bad
a great dispute as to who was the
most important, the man or the wom
an. To prove the matter the women
spit In one great Jar and the men In
another, and the Jars were the sealed
for nine months. At the end of that
period they were opened, and from
the women's Jar leaped a pile of
snakes and worm, while from the
visit with her daughter. Miss Helen j men s Jar came a beautiful boy an

The number of English words not

probably fall short of 100,000, say

of the great dramatist there seem not
more than 15,000 words ; In the poems
of Milton not above 8,000. The whole
