Having spent near Il week in and
aboat Jerusalem, / joined party. for
fhis todr ofthree days. Mounted ON a
GOOD horse. | passed out the Jaffa gate,
on the.west side Of the city, turned to
tbe lett across the Valley of HinRon
inst below the lower pool of Glhoh,
Which is made by putting a dam or wall
across the valley, and then took the
main road southwark, which leads to
Bethlehem and Hebron. On getting up
u the r6p Of the hill on the south side
Of Hmn6m, called tHiil of Evil Coun
lei. =" from a tradition that Caiaphas had a
residence here, atine view IS hadof Je-
renaien and the surrounding heights,
Giying q better idea Of the natural
strength of the city than. is to be had
from any other point, David showed
his fine military Skill in selecting this
place as the capital Of his kingdom. At
this point, looking south and west, Is
beautiful fertile plain, about mile wide
called the.plain Of RephaIm. Here Da-
via twice defeated the Philistines-
the sound was heard in the tops of the
mulberry trees. 81 ~.
In a half hours ride we came to the
tomb Of Rachel just beside the road, pro
tecteA by small stone chapel, which Is.
opaued once a year to the Jews, who
hold the place in great veneration. Here
some OF our party went directly on to.
Bethlehem, which lay just over the top
Of rocky ridge to the east; the other
members of the party went on an hours
ride farther to the Pools of solomon"
Here are three large reservoirs, built side
by side in a narrow valley, holding an
immense supply of water running, in
from a large spring near by, An pqpe-
duet about d foot in diameter, built
along thorough sides of the rocky ridges
conveys the water by Bethlehem on to
Jerusalem to The center of the Temple
grounds Much of this aqueduct is yet
seen along the whole way and could be
easily restored 1t still carries water to
Bethlehem. This is grand piece Of
engineering. \ wealthy English lady
offered some few years ago to restore the
reservoirs and aequeduet 80 as to Ia e
Che fresh water into Jerusalem. but
the Turks would not consent. About a
mile down the valley from the pools is
fhe village of Ethan, where Samson hid
from the Philistines.

BETHLEHEM.

Bethlehem now came in view, .sltua-
ted on the shoulder of high range,
which breaks suddenly down toward the
east Here Jesus, the Son Of God, was
born-the most wonderful event in hui
man history. Here the mysterious
promise OF Eden was fulfilled. Here
the divine and human natures were
joined in one person. Over the grotto or
the nativity, Helena, the mother of Con-
stuntine, in the year 327, built Baslflca,
which is the Oldest existing monument.
OF Christian architecture in the world.
In the interior are several ranges OF line
marble Corinthian columns, some forty
in number, said to be taken from the
porches of Solomon's Temple. From
the south side of the church. stone
stairway leads down to the place where
Jesus was born. The SIDES of the grotto
are covered with marble, but the top Is
the natural rock This cave has since
the second century been regarded as the
place ofthe Saviour's birth. The people
of Bethlehem are all Christians, and
they have a better appearance than any
people saw in Palestine. !,
Starting again on our way, we passed
down the eastern slope of the ridge for
about a mile when we came TO a broad
open field or plain, in full view OF the
city upon the crest of the hill. Here
were the fields of Boaz, where Ruth
came to CLEAN, and by her modesty and
loyeliness won the heart of the prince

sugar Beet Culture in America.

Now that the culture of the sugar beet in
Maine is likely to take a practical form, every
evidence of success in other countries that
have not half the natural advantages of the
Pine Tree State, is of peculiar interest at this
time. According to report furnished to the
society for promoting Russian industry and
commerce, the attempt recently made to cul-
tivate the beet on the rivers Oh and Yenisei
in Siberia, have proved highly successful. In
the Tombsk district the roots yield ten per
cent. of sugar, and in Winuchinsk as much as
fifteen per cent, while the proportion in Pol
ish crops has rarely been known TO exceed
nine and one-half per cent,
1t further appears that The supplies of
burned bone, employed in the cultivation of
beet, can be obtained in Siberia at little more
than a fourth of their cost in European Rus
STA, so that the industry could be carried out
there at considerably lower expense, In con-
sequence of the success of these preliminary
experiments, society of Siberian capitalists
has been formed, for the purpose of growing
beets and manufacturing sugar on an enor-
nous scale. They, however, ask conces-
sion of monopoly OF manufacture for fifteen
years, grant of government land, and the
transmission of their plant to Siberia free of
tolls and taxes. Thus do we see this industry
being developed in Russia in Asia, and yet
the number of doubters of its success in New
England has still quite following, as though
American skill, perseverance and capital were
not equal to any emergency.

Omelefs.


Many persons think they have made and
eaten omelet when they have not. Anything
that is made of eggs and milk, and solidified
over the fire, is called an omelet. Some peo-
pie put flour in, which takes fifteen or twenty
minutes to cook, while an omelet is cooked in
one minute. The true omelet is light, puff
fy, quiverng mass on your plate porous,
faky and delicious, and an ornament to any
table. In the first place be sure your eggs
are fresh, or you will fail break them into an
earthern dish, and beat just enough to mix
the whites and yolks together nicely: then
add tablespoonful of sweet milk or cream for
every egg, and then beat them thoroughly as
as you would for sponge cake. Have your
pan perfectly dry and hot enough to melt, but
not brown, your butter; turn in your omelet
and place over the fire at once, but be careful
it does not burn. Take thin-bladed knife
and run carefully under the bottom, to let
what is not cooked get below. Do not cook
the whole solid, or you will have it too hard
and dry, as its own heat will cook it some af-
ter it is taken up. Commence at one side
and carefully roll over and over until the
whole is in roll let it brown nice brown,
turn out on hot plate and serve. Do no:
put salt into it while cooking, or it will be
tough and fiat as a griddle cake. The butter,
if well sailed, will make it salt enough. 1t re-
quires some experience and a good deal of
care to meet with perfect success but if prop
erly made it is very nice. If you wish to have
1t very ornamental, spread over the top the
whites OF two eggs beaten to froth, and set
ior moment in hot oven.

The Breeding of Horses.

In an article on the recent demand for oui
horses from abroad, the american Agricultu
rdttst, in giving some hints on the methods oil
improving our stock says: SIT has been too
frequently the case that farmers have not on
ly begrudged the cost of the services of a good
sire, but they have reserved for breeding only
the poorest of their mares, lest the better
ones might be forced to lose few weeks
work in the spring. Spawned, wind-broken,
WORKOUT mares, have been used for breeding,
until vast number of horses are constitu-
tionally prone to disease, and are OF little val
ue from their birth. II costs no more to raise
good colt than poor one, and if farmers
would keep good brood mare or two, and
would secure good sires, mare might be
made profitable in her increase as two good
dairy COWS, without considering the value of
her work, which, at the least, will pay for her
feed. 1t is an established fact, although it
may seem at first sight to be an anomalous
one, that the more we substitute railroads and
steam engines for horse power, the greater de-
mand we create for the services of horses.
Horsepower is, after all, only feeder for
steam-power, and the more steam. power we
use, the more horsepower we shall need to
supply it."
