JerueaIem and It's Future.


New York Herald, Goth: 'Rev. DR.. J. P.
Newman lectured in the evening on 'Jerusa-
lem and its Future, being the tenth and last
or his series on the Lost Empires of the
World and Their Buried Cities Recent
excavations prove, said the speaker, that an
cient Jerusalem Is a buried city. During its
wonderful history it was besieged twenty
seven times. and the debris has accumulated
to the depth of one hundred to two hundred
feet. Al depth of ninety feet fragments of
earthenware were found which belonged to
the Jubersites fifteen hundred years before
Christ. Remnants of Mezzah. stone have
been uncovered, under which was found
Haggaiseal two thousand four hundred years
old. The present population is not far from
thirty thousand; about six thousand are
Mohammedans, ten thousand Jews and the
rest christians of every name under heaven.
The Jews are bankers and merchants, aud
control the markets. They have a new and
magnificent synagogue In the Tyropean val
ley, within the city, and on the slopes of Oil
vet they have an extensive cemetery. Yet
they are not permitted to enter the temple
area but only TO assemble near the wall on
each Friday IN the Jews waiting place. But
their degradation is not to last forever.
They have been prosecuted by emperors,
sultans and popes. How grand their COM
pany of martyrs Yet, as a people, they
have survived the adversities OF nineteen
centuries-M in philosophy; Ra-
chel, in tragedy; Disraeli, in craftsmanship.
Their community numbers about eight mil
lions, and they are now more prosperous than
at any time since the destruction of Jcrusa-
lem. The Jewish community throughout the
world is united by a bureau of correspond
ence, and they hold conventions, to which
delegates come from the uttermost parts of
the earth, and as people they have a grand
future. Prophecy points to their restoration.
1t will become great railroad center, cou-
meeting the Euphrates, Egypt, Asia Minor,
and ere long ship canal will connect the
Red Sea and Persian Gulf. A new national
ity is demanded ii the final solution of the
eastern question. The Turks are exhausted,
the Greeks are impotent and the reigning
powers of Europe are too jealous to allow one
of their own number to be supreme in the
orient. The Jews were always 'stiff-necked'
people. They did not want to go out of
Egypt, but they went; they did not wish to
go out of Babylon, but they went; they may
not wish to return to the land of their fathers,
but they will go-some for devotion, some
from ambition, some for wealth-and then
Jerusalem shall be the metropolis of the
world and the joy of the whole earth"
Domestic Sanitation.
New Orleans Times: eff every one knew
snd observed simple rules of health, there
would be but little use for doctors, ~ observed
an old physician some years ago, and the say
ailments prevailing during summer months
are traceable TO violations of natural laws
laws whose penalty Is swift and sure. On
Monday the Times gave a few of these sim
pie, common-sense rules of health, and now
continues the same. Bedding and sleep:
Special attention should be given to the air
ing and summing of bedding during the sum-
mer. The daily turning of mattress is not
sufficient to preserve its sanitary condition; it
should be aired and summed at least twice a
week. OF course, to dwell upon the neces-
sity for frequent changes of bed-linen is su-
perhuous. The sleeping apartment should
be made an object OF special attention. 1t
should be well ventilated, and capable of be-
ing thrown open to free access OF sunlight.
In the morning the windows should be open
ed wide for at least two hours, and the sun
allowed to enter. The bed should be so
situated that draught cannot strike the
sleeper. No flowers or plants should be toll
Grated in a sleeping apartment at night.
During the day plants absorb carbonic acid,
and are beneficial, but at night they exhale
much of it again, and become the means of
vitlating the atmosphere. Besides, the per-
fume OF many flowers is Injurious In the OK
IRENE, when breathed for any length of time.
During the heated term 1t is the habit with
many to discard all covering at night. When
they retire, most persons feel so warm that
even the covering of sheet is uncomfort-
able. So they go to sleep, ana, as a conse-
quence, when the chill air of morning en-
tiers the room, take cold, IN slight degree
perhaps, but still sufficient to impair the
general health and predispose to an attack of
malaria or other maladies. The body
should never be exposed during sleep, and
one or two experiments will convince even
the most skeptical that slight covering
will not prove uncomfortable when it has
been on the body few minutes"
