OYerMOrked Muscles.

The affection known as writer's cramp
is not confined to users of the pen, but
appears in telegraphers and others who
make continual use of one set of mus
cles. These cramps have been vari-
ously supposed to result from a dis
eased condition of brain, spinal cord or
nerves, and were long regarded as in
durable, During several years past,
however, Wolff has been applying gym
nastics combined with massage to the
muscles affected, and has succeeded in
curing more than half the many cases
treated. His process is neither difficult
nor tedious, being simply regular move
ment of the fingers or other parts, with
rubbing or gentle striking of the mus
cles, continued not more than an hour

Jerusalem is rapidly becoming again
the city of Jews, writes a correspond
emit of the New York Observer, In
1880 there were probably not more than
5000 Jews here; now there are more
than 10000. The recent prosecutions
in Russia have led thousands of them
to seek home In their ancient city.
The Turkish Government forbids all
Jews who are not residents of Jerusa-
lem to remain longer than thirty days
in the city, but the all-powerful "bak-
shish" enables them to live here as long
as they wish without molestation.
They are still coming in great numbers.
Wealthy Jews have built hospitals and
founded homes for them in and about
the city, and, as many of those who
come are poor, they live from the char
ity of their brethren.
