This city, though trodden down Of
the Gentfles,' and still desolate and
pOverty-stricken, no longer verifies an
old prophets utterance xs city that
no man seeketh AFTER The DEATH
struggle Of the Ottoman Empire Is
stirring into life the political and ma
tional existence of Palestine. The
ancient and renowned city Of Jerusa-
lem is becoming more and more q
central point Of attraction, and while
Protestant Germans, in large numbers,
have cOl0nlzed In that city, the most
significant fact of all Is the rapid flow
Of Jewish people to the land of their
fathers. The Bible-lOving Jews have
the powerful stimulus to their move
ment Of ancient predictions concern
ing the Holy Land and the Holy City;
while the Talmud Jews are cheered by
such utterances Of that book as He
that walks four rods in the Holy Land
Is sure of o portion in the world to
come and Dwelling In the Holy
Land Is Of greater weight than the
keeping of all commandments Under
such incentives Palestine Is rapidly
increasing In Jewish population.
Fifty years ago the Jewish commune
ity Of Jerusalem was fifty families.
Now they number fifteen thousand
sOuls-with score Of synagogues and
divers hospitals, asylums, etc. Forty
houses have been built by the Roths-
chiIds for Jewish accommodation. Ex-
tensive agricultural regions have been
purchased, and others are In negotia-
ton, for the constantly arriving emf
grants. All these facts are indications
that this ancient people are setting
their faces Zionward, and that the old
Judea, as It was ages ago, shall be filed
with the descendants OF the patriarchs.

Sunday I'm Dealw0Od.
From the Black HiIIs Times,


On Sunday the people pour into
DeadwoOd from the adjoining CAMPS,
and during the day the streets hive
the appearance OF q national celesra-
ton. On closer inspection you discover
tiOneer, who has mounted . barrel, and
Of every kind OF pawned property. On
the other side the prize package man
holds out valuable Inducements to n
gaping crowd, who, after listening to n
barangue Of fifteen minutes, stafif in
awe, with disappointment stamped
upon their couhtenances, to See the
fortune they might have possessed had
they only drawn the lucky paokes he
displays before them. Then the bands
send out lively music ttOmS the ssfree-
and -easys," while the NIfierehants, are
busy bartering their wares for rg0ld-dpst
to the dusky miner. Everybody Is on
the alert, tramping to and,frO, in.sNd
out and up and down the mountains.
Then, Just around the corner, from this
busy thrOng, the unpreten ti0us build
ing occupied for church sends forth
its echoes from the three or four score
Of worshippers there assembled, and
many are the hardy miners who here
take the opportunity to thank ll6d for
health and success; and all These, to-
gether with the confusion upon the
streets and yelps from dog fights, re-
verberate over the hills. When the
weather Is pleasant, groups Of two and
upwards are seen winding upon the
towering bed rocks or climbing through
the mountain pines. To one not, nc
custOmed to this romantic region, such
proceedings- religion, traffic, toll and
pleasure-going to make up Sunday
appear absurd in the extreme. But

we buy them by the dozen. Step into
an eastern produce or grocery estab-

The Seventeen Year /, Locusts.

From the Hartford Courant.
A ''staff correspondent" Of the COur-
ant with q fish-line attached to the
staff, ~ visited the thickets between
Belin and Meriden on Saturday, and
found the seyenteen.year locusts (so-
called, most interesting subjects of in
vestigation. They gather thickest
upon the banks of trout streams, and
they, or something else, seem to have
virtually driven the trout all away.
They have not, however, disturbed the
mosquitoes.
The locusts are in appearance quite
like the ordinary summer locust, but
they are not more than q third aslarge,
and they have very peculiar bright red
eyes which stand up from the head
hike the eyes of a lobster They are
unaccountably, plenty. 1.-THE woods
are full of 'em. i" and they choose the
alder for their resting place. 80 far as
recorded, this is the firstevidence that
nature has offered of the utility Of this
annoying, bush. The locusts are all
over the bushes, and by. the living
creature IA the dried shell it has come
out of. When they ny the locusts,
unlike those of summer, make no
noise, but go rs quietly as moth,
with a very rapid wing motion and
evident fatigue. As yet they do not
seem to be injuring vegetation.
Their time, so far, seems to be de-
voted to musical diversi0ns. They
keep up constant and peculiar noise.
1t is hard to see them make it; indeed,
1t proved impossible Saturday, yet
there 1t was perpetually sounding. 1t
is, more than anything else, like the
song of the insect world at night in
summer in the quiet country. There
Is some resemblance, too. to the roar of
the sea-shell held to the ear. And
there is no abatement, no variation.
The amazing persistency Of 1t Is one of
it's remarkable characteristics, and IL
they keep 1t up much longer this year 1t
will not be o surprise If the lOcusts
have to rest seventeen years again to
take fresh start. -
AS was said before, they seem to be
doing no damage, except Indirectly by
not eating the alders. A half-dozen
out fishing, tramping
grain, breaking fences, soaring cattle
aud frightening front could do more
harm In q day than the locusts have
yet done. But they could not in Ber-
lin. The grain and grass are all worn
into paths there already, the fences are
well broken down, the cattle act lone
some when there isn't somebody fish
ing near them, and the trOut-well, the
trout are lonesome too.

The Consumption of Beer.

From q report prepared by COM
mitteeo of the British house of commons,
relating TO beer and brewers, it appears
that the number Of bushels of malt
made for the year ending the 3lst of
December last was GO, ,929, ,632, and the
amount Of duty charged for the same
period was in round numbers $41 ,314.-
600. From the 1st of October, 1875, to
the 1st of October, 1876, there was ex-
ported from England 430, ,854 barrels of
beer, the declared value of which was
Sc, ,572, ,895 from Scotland, Al, 800 bar
rels. declared value $9l4, 800 from Ire
land, 351 barrels, declared value, $l8,-
125-making total Of 473,24 bar
rels Of beer exported from the United
Kingdom during the twelve months,
Of declared value of $9,5O3, sol. The
greatest number of these barrels Of
beer were imported to the "COnti-

In return to the Berlin Statistics
bureau upon the consumption of beer
In Germany, Herr Grad, now, one of
the deputies frosn Alsace In the Reich
stag, points out that, like most modern
industries, brewing Is gradually being
concentrated into few hands, for, not
withstanding the Increased product
ton, there are not so many breweries
now a. there were four years ago.
There has been decline OIL IL per cent
within that period, from Is, 456 in1872-
to 1850 in 1875. In 1875 the total
production Of beer was, in round num-
bep, 1885,, ,O0O, 900 gallons, the principal
figures being as follows: 400 ,O00, 900
gallons In North Germany, pa ,000, 900
gallons In Bavaria, 81, ,000, 900 gallons
In Wurtemberg, 5000, 900 gallons In
Baden, and 20, O,000,O 900 gallons Ia
Alsace- Lorraine. This total, about
4, ,4O0, 900 gallons more than in the pre-
vious year, is arrived at notwithstand-
ing the dfminution I'm southern Ger
many due to the large wine crop, It
having been remarked that when the
wine crop is Nn abundant one In Ger
many there is less demand for beer.
Owing to the decline in the number Of
breweries, the average annual prOduc-
ton Of each brewery now In existence,
Is nearly so per cent. In excess Of what
it was four years ago; while, with re-
gard to the annual consumption, 1t Is
calculated at about 20 gallons per head
Of the population In Germany proper,
as against only nine gallons per head
in Alsace- Lorraine. The consumption
is the greatest In Bavaria, being equal
to about 81 gallons per head, and It Is
from Bavaria, too, that the export
trade is the largest, amounting, as 1t
does, to II, 900 900 gallons year. The
tax upon beer produced i'm 1875 for the
whole Of the German empire sum Of
$11 1886, 1906, as against $11 765, $40 In
1874, and $40 ,279, ,185 In 1873.
