Z From the Mount Of Olives one gets
the most general view Of j Jerusalem that
can be had from any one point. From
the minareto of the mosque, which stands
lsonI the summit + could see and trace
very distinctl i The great natural outlines
Of the city. I am standing lao feet
above the city at its highest point.
Right below my feet is the valley Of the
Keydrcn, running nearly dine south.
Above its steep mort heIn bank rises the
massive and high city wall. just over
the wall is Mount Moriah, the temple
area, on the left hand eastern corner
OF which Is the broad and spacious
mosque, Ri Aksa, on the { central
and western portion the grand impos-
ing nosqn ne, 55,' The Dome Of the
| Rock ,s known al the Il Mosque OF
Omar. Beyond the A temple area il
the depr ession which was once d deep
rayine, running nearl y south, called the
Tyropoean. Above this to the north
west rises Mount Zion quite q high
and steep eInin ance rom which to any
either part Of the city within the walls,
is q very perceptible descent Except
the large area Of the temple, which
covers about one ixth Of the whole city,
within the walls, the rest is one COM
pact undulating mass Of buildings hav-
ing winding or irregular seams between
them here and there, marking the sup
posed course Of streets, and broken, here
and there, by domes and minerets and
I towers II, and the imposing roofs OF
churches. /. see it all under my eye,
over on the hillside yonder. It is a
stirring spectacle; not altogether beau
tiful, not wholly sad. It is spectacle
whose deepest interest is limited by two
facts. ~ Christ loo king upon it and Christ
weeping over it. But as / turn round
and look in the other direction, my
emotions are 8 less mingled. There is
only the wildness and majesty and
beauty Of nature. { look down into
the deep valley Of thes Jordan, 1000
feet below me, and see the Dead Sea
stretching out now as a mirror of glass,
and on the other side the dark noun
tains Of Moab and Mount Nebo, and
close to me on the south the green
fields Of Judah covered with flowers.

Training Tomato Plants.

Most growers agree that keeping TO-
matoes off the ground is q great adj
vantage. Stakes OF trellises are now
used to- a great extent to train them
to. A common way is to train to single
stakes Of about four feet in height tying
the plant to the stakes as it grows,
This is little or no improvement over
the Old way Of letting them lie on the
ground. a much better plan is to set
The plants in rows Of three or four feet
apart, and the plants three feet IN the
row. Before setting the plants, dig out
couple of spits of earth, and set III
three branches Of trees twiggy ones
are best in triangular form, with the
tops spreading outwards. Set the
plant in the centre Of this, and as. il
grows keep the shoots inside OF the
stakes by passing a string around them.
/ THERE'S no better way to get good
clean fruit tomatoes As everything
generally has some disad vantage with it, it,
SO. this way Of growing tomatoes is not
perfect. When the plants are allowed
to run over the ground they keep the
soil cool and moist. 1t. follows that
tying up to stakes produces the oppo-
site effect, and the plants. suffer the
sooner from summer dronghts. This
can be easily remedied by mulching
around the plants with something TO
break the suns rays. If nothing else is
at hand cornstalks answer admirably.
Tomatoes produce such q mass OF foliage
that they require much moisture, and it
is surprising how they thrive when by
,mulehing or other means the ground
is never allowed to become too dry. $2A

Z Lightn1ng-Rods.

It is q general impression that the
chief value of lightning rodsis to shield
buildings from harm by conducting
electricity from the clouds to the earth.
Even intelligent people are often sur
prlsed when told that the rods secure
safety BY allowing the electricity to es-
cape which, gathers on the roofs and
sides Of buildings. But the cases where
the electricity goes upward from the
earth to helair, largely outnumber those
In which the current sets in the OPP
posite direction
+ The process is very simple one. The
electric equilibrium, in the air is dis
turbed, and one kind of electricity gath
ers In great force, on the earthward sur
face OF the clouds, This at once disty1rbs
the equilibrium of the, earth, and attracts
the opposite kind Of electricity to the
earth's surface When the tension he
comes too great or the mutual affinity
becomes irresistible electricity leaps
either from the clouds to the earth, or
reversely and for the moment the cqui
librium Of botha at that point is restored.
But If conducting points, such as
lightning rods present, are numerous
enough to dissipate steadily the force
gathered on the earth's; surface, there
will be no sudden leap, and no lightning
shock. In the famous experiment OF
Franklin with lis kite, if the lightning
! from the cloud had run down the string
ito the key, the bold experimental would

Che ancient wines were all Of them
quite different from our modern wines.
They are simply the product Of fer
mentation, like our home made currant
wine or cider OF course, they con-
tanned alcohol and could intoxioate, if
taken il sufficient quantity. Hence a

the wine. 49, TIL. Il ss %5.S -.
They might have different names,
from their age, their color, tleir taste,
their weight, the locality Of their pro-
duction, or as mixed with honey, or
with myrrh, or as made from dried
grapes, or as being simple, unchanged
grape juice, OF. the latter as boiled
down. But with the exception Of
the last three, which contained no
alcohol, the other wines contained very
little, the strongest Of all only twelve
per cent. VI y 4, 5.s. r. l.5s5.55.1z B
Our modern wines the wines Of
commerce are strengthened by the
addition Of distilled alcohol. Few Of
our wine bibbers would care to drink
wine which had not thus been "rein-
forced. - Port is made TO contain
twenty four per cent, and sherry
twenty seven. AS the strongest French
brandy contains only fifty five percent,
one needs only to double his draught
of the latter TO secure the full effect Of
brandy. & I. ..5. 81. 5ls

times employed is amylio alcohol. This

fine advantage in a duet with Miss
Parkc. Mr. Yarndley played violin
solo in his usual well-known style,
followed by vocal trio sung by Mrs.
lIanford, Misses Renton and Lewis
in an excellent manner. Mr.. Morse
received loud applause for his flute
solo, "Old Folks at Home" which
he played finely. Miss B. Parke
next appeared and sung very tastily
a song by Braga with violin obligato,
played exquisitely by Mr.. Yarndlcy
with muted instrument. The first
part of the programme was concluded
by n beautiful valse by Fahrbach
well played by the club. The gem
of the evening to our mind was the
paraphrase on Lists "Die Loreley,"
also played by the club. 1t is in
itself a most beautiful composition,
and gave the opportunity of hearing
the individual members of the club
on their different instruments. The
saxophonc solo was disappoint.
mcnt. 1t is not an instrument adapted
for solo playing, but in military COM
binations it would be Of great value.
1t is conical brass tube with keys,
and is played by means Of mouth
piece and single reed of the clarionet
kind. To Miss Hopper, who played
the piano with the club, taking Miss
Castles place at almost asmoment's
notice, too much praise cannot be
given for her conscientious and eX-
cellent playing. Mrs. Hanford also
ably accompanied several of the
numbers. Mr.. Marques, the Presi-
dent of the club, is to be congratu-
lated on the excellent arrangements.
1t is to his perseverance that the
club has held so well together. The
concert netted only $50.

1t is complained that unscrupu-

and correspondents are making
trouble among the Southern negroes.
Many of the latter have been made
afraid that the Democrats will ut.
tempt to re-cnslavc them, but in
most cases have been assured by the

that no such danger exists.
Some people attribute the Repub-
lican defeat to the Rev. Mr.. Bur-
chard's grouping of " Rum, Roman
ism and Rebellion" as a descrip-
ton Of the Democratic party, in q
campaign speech delivered in New
York. Regarding this ex-Collector
Thomas Murphy, of New York, has
said =" We have been beaten out
of our boots, and old Burchard did
it. Blaine told me that when Bur-
chard made use of his expression
there was buzz of conversation in his
ear, and lie understood Burchard to
refer to Rum, Mormonism and Re-
bellion.' He said that if he had
heard the parson Alright he would
have at once disclaimed any rellec-
ton on religious body, so we can
