of earthly treasures than most men of my age. Twice have voted with the third party and have zealously espoused their men and measures. I am still prohibitioaist from head to foot, but am now satisfied that the third party measures to secure the inestima- ble blessings of prohibition in the present state of public sentiment are unwise and pre- mature. The Democratic party is in purpose and plan the rum party of the land, and they put on record this fact that their greatest joy and their grandest victories are achieved through the work of the third party prohibi- tionists. Good people should never do right in such way as to make the devil glad.
 The boom which was recently started in Jerusalem makes progress. Severald hand- some public buildings have been erected on Mount Zion. The Rothschild hospital for Jews on 6 neighboring hill is 8 striking building, although its cruciform shape is a source of grief to faithful Jews. A girls school has been built by Italians, and stately building for Russian pilgrims is now in course of erection. Similar buildings for French, German and Italian pilgrims are al- ready erected. On the top of the Mount of Olives the Russians have built an ugly tower with the sole object of seeing the Nediter- ranean and Dead Seas from it's top; but their church in Gethsemans makes up in beauty for the ngliness of the tower. A company of German Protessants calling themselves "The Friends of the Temple" which has been in existence many years, is now to take definite steps for the restoration of the ancient Temple.
 The new street car motor which was tried at Pullman, Illinois, last week, is an ingen- ious and promising affair. Gas automati- ealIy manufactured in the engine is used to propel the motor. The gas is made from gasoline oil or crude petroleum, and, mixed with air and exploded in the cylinder, it's action is similar to that of steam. After the piston head is forced back the product of the explosion-hot air-may be used by means of pipes for heating the cars in winter. At the trial test the machine was placed in charge of a man who had no mechanical training and who had never seen the motor before, for the purpose of demonstrating that the engine does not require the services of an expert. After a few instructions the man started the car with simple lever, stopped it, and then ran it in the opposite direction. Everything worked smoothly, and there was no smoke or dust. The inventor claims for the motor speed, cleanliness and cheapness, and says it can make fifteen miles per hour easily without noise, and that the cost per day for running it will not exceed $1.
 The Living Church, the Episcopal church journal of Chicago, gives some interesting testimony concerning the ineficiency of the postal service, as follows: Our readers will bear witness that the Living Church is not chronic grumb1er about the defects of our postal service. It has been quite the "fash- ion" of late to find fault with the Chicago postofice, and it has received 6 vast amount of abuse which we do not think it deserves. In every case of delinquency relating to this journal, 50 far as we have been able to ascer- tain, the fault has been in the office to which the paper was addressed: We have suffered good deal in silence, knowing how difficult must be the management of such vast details as this service involves. Complaints and discontinuances have been received from our foreign subscribers on account of the long delays and sometimes entire failure of the postal service. From distant points of our own country the same objection comes. Last week subscriber on the Atlantic coast com- plained of the non-arrival of the paper, and investigation disclosed the fact that the post- master had ordered discontinuance ss Gre fused," having mistaken 1t for another paper. The same week a subscriber on the Pacific coast informed us that it was "no uss" to send the paper: "the paper mail is not even opened in the office. The postmaster claims that his force is not enough to more than handle the letters" At another office, as we are told, the paper sacks are all emptied into the bayi
