Peace in GaliIce.

I had made an express pilgrimage to
Bukeia, this remote and isolated vii
lage, in order to see an interesting COM
munity of Jews who maintain that
they are the descendants of families
who were not dispersed, and that they
are the only Jews in the whole of Pal
estine whose direct ancestors inhabited
the same spot and cultivated the same
land prior to the destruction of Jerusa-
lem. Hence they have never inter-
married with any other Jews, all of
whom, no matter how long their an
cestors may have been in the country,
they regard as foreigners. Neverthe-
less they are ministered to by Sephar-
dim Rabbi sent to them for the purpose
from Safed. / went into their syna-
gogue, modest and simple little
building, but large enough to contain
the small congregation, which does not
number above 100. Besides the twenty
Jewish families there were forty ortho-
dox Greek Christians and eighty Druse
families composing the population OF
the village, and there was quite rival
ry of hospitality between the three
sheikhs representing these different
communities to entertain us. We de.
cided in favor of the Hebrew sheikh, and
he soon had nearly all the co-religionists
men, women and children-summoned
for my inspection. In fact, l held sort
OF leuee, the whole community filing
past and making efforts to put my hand
to their lips as they did so. They diff
fered in no respect, either in clothing,
cast of countenance, or manner, from
the ordinary fellahin of the country,
many of whom were present, so that |
had a good opportunity of comparing
them. They all rejoiced in the name
of Cohen, and were, of course, all more
or less nearly related, so that it was 8
matter of astonishment, after so many
centuries of intermarriage, that they
should have presented so healthy al
appearance. Indeed observed one re
markably pretty girl. Meantime the
orthodox Greek priest, the Jewish Rab
bi and the religious head of the Druse
Joined the party, and l was mucl
struck with the good-fellowship ant
cordiality which seemed to exist be
tween the representative heads of sucl
widely opposite forms of faith. Eacl
spoke in the highest terms of the tw
others as individuals whom they like'
and respected; and they all warmly as
serted that the whole population live
on terms of the greatest harmony an
good-fellowship, and were cultivatin
side by side the same lands which the
had cultivated from time immemoria
After the Greek priest and Druse sheik
had gone l asked my Hebrew host
tell me confdentially which he reall
, preferred as neighbors, the Druses {
, the Christians. His answer was thu
he had no complaint to make again
: the Christians, but that he much pr
ferred the Druses. -BLackwoodS Mag

Old Japan.

Here are sword blades 1900 years
old, which are made of copper, but
three belonged to the gods, and came
from temple called Horiu-zi. There
is large iron shield about six feet in
height, in every way well wrought, but
its age is unknown. On saddle,
known to be about 1000 years old, is
a conventional Persian-like peacock,
wrought in repousse brass, which is
very good. A Chinese vase, which has
been preserved here for over 1000 years,
and has black ground, with a spray
of bamboo and certain rocks wrought
upon it in gray, is interesting. There
are wood-carvings of lions executed
with great spirit and feeling" but the
ages of which are unknown; two scep-
tiers, the one being 1900 years old,
while the other is 1000 years of age.
There is thin iron bowl most beauti-
fully shaped, the bottom of which has
been patched; this is 1000 years old.

A Dog on Horseback.

A little brown mare harnessed 10 the
shafts of light wagon stood in front
of the store OF her owner, hardware
dealer on North Wells Street Mounted
on the broad back Of the little mare was
a curly black dog, which plunged
about barking violently at the passing
pedestrians. Attracted by the noise,
reporter crossed the street and ap-
preached the two. The dog, seeing
that his antics had brought him into
notice, lay down very eomposedly on
the little mares back and gazed around
him with much satisfaction. No coax
ing would induce him to leave his posi-
ton. Presently a half-grown boy came
out of the store and climbed into the
wagon.
'How did your dog learn to ride
horseback the reporter asked him.
.He first began to climb on the
mares back during the cold weather
two years ago." said the boy, laughing.
HE got to sleeping there because it
kept him warm. The mare liked it, be-
cause it kept her warm, too. Now he

eyes, they are. The dog takes the
mares part every chance he gets. The
mare helps the dog out Of tight places
sometimes. The other day big bull
dog pitched into him and was chewing
him all to pieces, when the mare came
to his assistance. She grabbed the big
dog by the back of the neck with her
teeth and held him while the little dog
licked him. Then, when the little dog
| finished the job, she let the big one
sneak away. The little dog was SC
grateful for the favor that he trottet
off and stole an ear of corn somewhere
and brought it to the mare. - ChicagC

The Law Of Scent.

Is any one to be found bold enough
to say he has mastered even the rudl-
ments of the phenomena of scent? 1t
has long been found that not even a
southerly wild and a cloudy sky is
certain prelude 20 a days sport. The
late Lord Fitzhardings once remarked
he had hunted hounds for over fifty
years, but knew no more about the
chances Of scent or the reverse than he
did when he first began to carry the
horn. The poet Somerville declared
ii at ION the air depend the hunters
hopes;'' and the great Becktord, while
approaching the sub, ,ect with much diff
fdence, thought scent mainly depended
on the state of the ground and the tenn
perature. Other writer's have fancied
scent varies much in different foxes,
and the celebrated Nimrod was much
of this opinion. We all know certain
conditions under which hounds as u
rule are unable to get along, but we
know nothing more. On most SEEM
ingly unfavorable days they can often
run to distraction; on others, with APP
parentlv everything in their favor, they
can only walk after fox. A cold,
raw, windy day is, so far as can be
Judged, the most unfavorable to hounds
as are also those sunny, CANDY days we
get some time in spring and autumn.
One thing is well ascertained. and
that is. pastures carry a better scent
than arabic lands. The reason is not
so easy to explain, but the fact remains,
1t is commonly said that the earth stick
ing to the fox's pads prevents the
ground being tainted with the efluvia,
and that when the ground is wet and
"carries," as the termis, hounds cannot
even puzzle out the line by slow hunt
ing. This never seems very salts
factory explanation, though it is the
one generally given to inquirers. In
all countries there are coverts, and
certain fields, which are notorious fol
an utter absence of scent, and usually
without any assignable cause.
We are almost tempted to think tina
no general rule can be laid down, bu
that the phenomena of scent vary il
different countries according to thu
diversity of soil and prevailing winds
There can be no doubt that the moderl
crowded fields are all against hound
and in favor of the fox. 1t has beel
said that honnds, if left entirely to thei
own devices, would rarely miss catch
ing their fox, but now they are har
rassed nv the field. and often by to
officious huntsman. AS a matter G
fact, those best able to Judge of tn
matter would pronounce the contrar
to be the case, and would say there ar
but few days on which hounds woul
be successful by their own unaided 81
forts. Never to let. the fox get ia
ahead is the great maxim of the day
and very sensible one; for we a
, know how quickly on bad days he ca
run himself out Of scent and danger
