Progress at Jerusalem.

Recent letter writers tell us that there
are more signs of business and social
activity at Jerusalem now than at any
time since the days when it was the
capital of Israels kings. In and about
the city many new buildings are going
up and this naturally calls for an in
crease of agricultural and manufactur-
ing interests in the neighborhood. The
number of workers is growing and the
idlers are pushed to the wall--as they
should be.
This result is due not to the efforts of
our co-leligionists in Palestine and
their friends in other countries but to
the activity of Russia and Germany as
antiquarians and colonists. Russia
especially seems bent upon colo
nizing in the Holy Land, prob
ably with a view to counteracting
supposed preponderating influence on
the part of England. The car looks
with jealous eye on that portion of
the worlds map, and quietly encour-
ages religious fanaticism on the part
of the Greek church in that direction.
The lower classes in Russia are ignorant
and superstitious-and the same may
be said of the wealthier and more aris-
tocratic inhabitants of that country.
Their alteration of certain localities in
Jerusalem is blind, but it is real, and a
large expenditure of money in the way
OF pilgrimages and shrines is natural
consequence. This tends, of course,
toward building up business interests
and the people of Palestine will gather
the harvest of gold that will follow

Then the soldier told the king that he

his "girl," with whom he had an ap.
pointment. During the rest of Fred

west, a little son only two years old
turned up missing, and no trace of his
whereabouts being found. the little fell

family supposing he had been drowned.

Protect the System from Malaria

1t is possible to do this even in regions OF
country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic fevers which it causes as
sumo their most formidable types. The i'm.
mense popularity OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is very largely attributable to the
fact of its efficacy as remedy for chlls and
fever, bilious remittents, and as prt ventive
of the various forms of malarial disease. In
those portions of the West and South where
complaints of this nature prevail, and in the
protective influence which it exerts; and it
has been very widely adopted as a substitute
for the dangerous and comparatively inef.
fective alkaloid, sulphate Of quinine. 'Physi-
clans have not been among the last to con-
cede ito merits, and the emphatic profession
al endorsements which it has received, have
added to the reputation 1t has obtained at
home and abroad.
