Tho survey of Palestlne.

The survey of Palestine has thrown
light on another most important question
concerning ancient Paiestine-namely. the
relations of the present climate Of the
country to that Of Old Testament times.
This question has been fully worked out in
papers which viii be found in the memoirs
Of the survey. and the conclusions reached
may he briefly summarized Palestine Is a
small country, hut it presents great vari-
cites Of soil, climate. and water supply in
various districts We have the tropical
Jordan valley and the arctic region Of
Upper IIermon and Lebanon We have
rich volcanic corn plains in Basham and
round Jezreel, and sandstones overed with
pines and Cedars and hard Gme,tones over
which perennial streams flow between fine
woods of oak and terehinth in Galilee. and

A WONDERFUL THING.

% So John, you've done with the college
And are back on the farm once more,
With your head as full of Farming
As knarly apple of core.
It's cost heap to learn you all
To cipher and figure and speak,
And its different work a'hoeing corn
From digging in Latin and Greek;
So is ii law or is it pills
You choose for your occupation?
Or better still come settle down,
And accept D. DIS station.
" Well, dad, have thought OF the law,
But they say it's all oyerdone;
As for pills, why, every one knows
It's the hardest work under the sun
A parsons robe would never tit
On a man that is built like me;
For how would it look on the best short stop
That plays in the B. p. c.?
So engaged al two thousand year,
And signed the papers too,
To stand behind the bat and catch
For the club from Kalamazoo
" Two thousand a year," The old man stares
And il makes his head to sing,
And he Just has sense to mutter aloud:
"Edications a wonderful thing

Two. CowGIRLs OF NEBRAsKA-A
beautiful cowgirl lives near Murllel county
Nebraska. She owns some stock, which
she personally looks after. AT recent
roundup her dazzling beauty and graceful
Workmanship were wonderful to behold
A yearling broke from the herd, which
three cowbows failed to confine, when the
beautiful girl dashed out after it, roping il
in on the second circle, and pulled it by
the horn of her saddle into the herd The
boys shouted, wept and never ceased to
love. John Sergeant, of Monrose county,
it may be added to this, has a 15-year-old
daughter, Miss Nellie, who has been bred
III the saddle, and has been accustomed to
ride with her father all over his range In
addition to the young lady's graceful
workmanship, she can handle lariat and
branding-iron, and can ride bucking-
horse with as much skill and grace as any
cowboy that has beer on the range since
boyhood Nellie Sergeant is lowered by
her father with one-third the increase OF

The Origin of Sewer Gas.

The idea commonly obtains that sewer
gas is product of the decomposition of
excrementatious matter, and that, there
fore. the absence of a water-closet within
doors disposes of the possibility of its ad-
mission to the dwelling. In consequence,
the safeguards against its entrance, which
are considered essential in the plumbing
arrangements of water-cloSet, are apt TO
be omitted in those which pertain to the
bathroom or the kitchen sink. This sup
position rests, however, upon two-told
error In the first place, sewer gas Is gem
Grated only in small quantity within
house-pipes which are connected with a
sewerage system 1t is developed in far
greater degree in the main sewer and re-
turns along the course of every separate
house-pipe which is unguarded by traps,
water-seals and due ventilation. House
plumbing arrangements, on the other hand,
connected with g cess-pool, may become
conduit for the upward passage of
sewer-gas of local origin. The introduce
ton of excreta to the cess-pool is not
necessary to its development therein. The
amount of organic matter removed from
the human skin and disposed of by means
OF the Ddln-Wdtef, Is diOne SulllcleLI 10
originate the gaseous products of deeompo-
sition. The animal and vegetable sub
stance which finds its way into the waste
water originally deposited into kitchen
sink, is likewise fruitful source of foul
gases, which are competent to infect a
dwelling-house unless properly excluded
therefrom 1t is essential, therefore, that
every precaution be taken in the arrange
ment of waste-pipe whencesover it origi-
mates and wheresoever it goes. The house
holder is surrounded upon every side by
invisible agencies of disease, and eternal
vigilance, as respects these avenues of
their approach, is the price of health.

Spearing Sword-fis

The fish are always harpooned from the
end of the bowsprit of sailing vessel.
All vessels regularly engaged in this
fishery are supplied with an apparatus for
the support of the harpooner, which con-
sists of wooden platform about two feet
square, upon which the harpooner stands,
and an upright bar of iron three feet high,
rising from the tip Of the bowsprit Just in
front Of this platform. At the top of
this bar Is a bow of iron in a nearly circu-
lar form, to surround the waist OF the har-
pooner This structure is called the
rest or the pulpit" 4 man is al
ways stationed at the mast -head whence,
with the keen eye which practice has
given him, he can easily decry the tell
tale dorsal fms at distance of two or
three miles. When fish has been sighted,
the watch sings out" and the vessel is
steered directly toward it. The skipper
takes his place in the pulpit, holding the
harpoon with both hands 10y the upper
end and directing the man at the wheel
by voice and gesture how to steer When
the fish is from six to ten feet in front Of
the vessel il Is struck The harpoon is not
thrown; the strong arm of the harpooner
punches the dart into the back of the fish
beside the dorsal fin, and the pole is with
drawn. The line is from 80 to $50 fathoms
long, and the end is either made fast on
board the smack or attached to keg or
some other form Of buoy and thrown over
board. After the fish has exhausted him
self by dragging the buoy through the
water, it is picked up, the fish is hauled
alongside and killed with lance In the
meantime several other fish may have been
struck and left to tire themselves out in
the same way.-[F. \. Feynald, in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

HoNEY.-T. J. Newman, statistician of
the Northwesterly Society of Bee-keepers,
estimates the total amount of honey pro
duced in the United States at l20,000000
pounds, which, at an average of 10 cents
per pound, would place the value of the
product at S1S,000,000 The total produc-
ton of Europe is estimated to be not over
one-tenth of this quantity. AT the recent
agricultural fair in London $50 tons of
American honey was exhibited, and took
prizes over all the European exhibits.
That the product of the hives is not the
only thing valuable about this industry is
evidenced by the fact that the colonies of
bees in the country number over 100000.
At the average price of Sl1 per colony,
their value would be $33000,000. This
sum, added TO the total product of the
hives ($lS,000,000), makes the total
amount involved about S51,000,000.

THE WOMAN FOR A WIFE.
u Interest to Those who Contemplate
MARRIAGE


4 great deal has been said and written
about the elevating and refining influence
of female society. Now, while would be
the last to diSpel the idea that noble.
educated and refined woman does impart a
purifying and elevating influence to all
who come within the radius of her circle,
| cannot believe there IS anything in the
lndiscriminate selection OF female society
which tends to make man wiser, purer or
better. That woman has a wonderful
influence for good or evil there can be no
question; aud in the same proportion that
a noble, refined, educated woman influences
young mans character for good, will a
coarse, illiterate, uneducated female drag
him down TO . lower rangeol thoughts aud
ideas
Human nature is so constituted that we
cannot remain passive. The moment we
cease to improve, that moment We begin
to deteriorate, and because Of this srS-
ceptibility to good or bad influences, can
but hold, it is far better for young man
to be deprived of all society than to cult
vate that of a lower order. Some author
has most truthfully remarked, that " in
spiration to higher and purer life always
comes from above a man." therefore, when
a Young man seeks female society with the
desire to improve his mind, preserve his
morals, or elevate his taste, he should seek
for that which is above him. Under no
circumstances, let any young man content
himself with that society which he knows
to be beneath him, for as sure as he lives
he viii find that he will gradually narrow

IRRIGATION IN THE ARKANSAS VAL
LEY.-Four large irrigating canals have
been projected in the Arkansas valley the
past year, two of which are under construc-
ton and the others reasonably certain to
be pushed through The Belmont canal
starting on the north side, at La Junta, is
to be Is miles in length, and has about y
miles completed. The Apishapa and La
Junta canal, starting near the mouth of
the Apishapa, south of the Arkansas, will
not be less than % miles in length, and is
now in course of construction, work
having commenced last week The
Pueblo Land and Canal Company, Just
formed, with capital of 100000 pro-
poses taking out canal on the north side
at some point in Pueblo county not yet
designated, to be extended well into Bent
county. The fourth canal is that Of the
Royal George Company, about which not
much is known; but such a canal as is
proposed by this company must at no dis
tant day be constructed by some company,
the prolitabIeness of the scheme being too
apparent to be passed by. These several
canals will water and bring under cultiya-
ton as fine lands as are to be found in the

obtain this he paid almost incredible
prices. and then, having demolished the

added a picture gallery and furniture
