MONDAY morning the Jail doors were
found open and John Carlysle arrested
last July on charge of arson in setting
fire to E. ]. Bullock & Co.'S. store at
Readsboro, July, s, was missing, All
the other prisoners, four in number,
were inside. From them it il learned
that at about O'Clock Carlysle walked
out, unlocking the grating doors him
self with keys. Where his keys came
from is mystery. He had borrowed
an overcoat of fellow-prisioner during
the early part of the evening, and he
took it with him when he made his es-
cape. Bert Roberts was awakend by
the click Of the grating door, and arose
and spoke to Carlysle, asking him where
he was going. He said he had been
there long enough and was going out,
and 80 he did. taking the route before
taken by Billy Price. After he was in
the corridor no trace has been found Of
him. Bert Roberts, bound up for
murder, has now twice remained 10 Jail
while another has escaped. New locks
have been ordered and an inventory of
keys on hand discloses the fact that two
important ones are missing having never
been in the present Sheritf's possession,
nor that of his predecessor. 1t may be
interesting TO ask if there is not someway
Of uuearthing this outside jail ring
which 80 often furnishes knife saws,
and now keys, to enable prisoners to es-
cane?

Tariff Literature for All,

The American Protective Tariff
League is publishing most valuable
series of Tariff documents. These are
prepared with a view not only to state
the facts and arguments for Protection
but also to convince doubtful voters
whether they are farmers, laborers, mer.
chants or professional men. Each issue
of the series appeals to those engaged in
separate industries, and presents indis.
putable facts, comparisons of wages,
cost of living, and other arguments
showing the benefits of Protection. Re.
cent issues include the following:

with as much meaning is the one B L
ID, 81 am complete wreck" If there
has been any trouble about the reading
OF the flags, the letters G w F indicate
''Signal not understood, or c w J.,
''You have misunderstood signals. :"
AS signal flags can only be depended
upon when their colors are distinctly
visible, an important opportunity for
communicating at sea is often lost be-
cause distance or haze prevents the
signals from being made out A code
of distant signals has therefore been
introduced into use with view to sup
ply what is obviously defect in exist
ing codes. This code is merely COM
bination of black ball and flags of the
same color. The sentences are made
up In the same way as those
with colored flags, the relative
positions of the ball and flags in
dicating the signal intended. Here are
four of these signals: The ball hoisted
above black pennant indicates that
the vessel signaled to is running into
danger" The ball hoisted above a
square flag indicates the sentence,
Fire or leak; want assistance" The
ball below the pennant indicates that
the signaler is "short of provisions;
starving" A square flag above the
ball indicates that 81 am aground; want
assistance" An endless combination
OF these represent all that men at sea
desire to say to one another.
All sorts of business transactions are
also carried on by means of the flags.
Steamers have come to Sandy Hook
laden with coffee. The owners know
ing that they could get higher price
for the vessels cargo in Europe, tele-
graphed the Western Union operator
at Sandy Hook to hold the vessel for
orders. This was done by means OF
flags. At the end of the day the signal
came from the tower, $50 to England,
Queenstown" And once more the
vessels prov is turned toward the open
sea. Before going she would display
the signals P d S, "Report me to
Lloyds."
In addition to the code signals, each
vessel has her own private signals rep
resenting her name. Every vessel as
she is launched is given a set of letters
by her respective government. No
other vessel flying that governments
flag has the same combination of let
tors. As result, when a vessel enters
any port displaying her private signals
beneath her national ensign, no mis-
take as to her identity can be made

JEWS IN JERUSALEM.
Their Condition Worse Than That of ANY
of Their Race the World Over.

| Their Condition Worse Than That of ANY
of Their Race the World Over.
The Jews of Jerusalem have many
paupers among them and their con.
dition is worse than that of any of their
race the world over. The numbers
who have been forced here by persecu-
tion are supported almost entirely by
the different Jewish churches over the
world and the number of different de-
nominations of Jews and Christians
who are so supported has made Jeru-
salem city of mendicants. At certain
hours of the days bread is given away
at certain places and the people come
to these in crowds. The Jews them
selves in the fewest of cases change
their religion, but the different denom-
nations of begging Christians move
about from church to church as the
supplies rise and fall, just as the bad
boy changes his Sunday-school accord
ing to the prospects of presents at
time of Christmas. Such giving has
made Jerusalem the hot-bed for the
propagation OF beggars, and this is true
of other people than the Jews. The
number of alms-takers among them has
made the Jerusalem Jews, as a class.

Der of their houses; whole families live
in one cave like room of the size of

lighted only by the door at the front;
both walls and floor areof stone. There
is little furniture to speak of. There
is only bed or two for the grown
people and the rest of the family must
bunk on the floor. The kitchen is in
most cases a little box just high enough
for the woman of the house to stand
upright in and not more than three
feet wide and four feet deep. At the
back of this there is a rude stove of
stone for the burning of charcoal, and
somewhere in the catacombs, which
make up the tenements of a score Of
families, there is a well, which is the
common property of all. On the door
posts of each dwelling, whether it be
of only one room or more, there is
tackled a rolled up strip of white parch-
ment six inches long on which is writ

THE cLEARINe-uP SHOWER.

When the skies, low and ashen, are riven with
rain,
And thro the wet woods the shril east winds
complain:
When day after day, storm tattered and chill.
The dull vapors mantle dim valley and hill
How wistfully - watching the gray heavens
lower
we wait fer some sign of the clearing-up shower.
When life means but WEAKNESS, struggle and
pain,
And earth's joys are empty, and f1eeting as vain
When the burden of heart-ache and trouble and
care
Seems more than the overtaxed spirit can bear
Mid the turmoil and gloom of that crucial hour.
o, let us remember the clearingup shower.
There are dark disappointments that meet US
each day,
and bitter surprises that lurk by the way;
There are stormy encounters, inglorious re-
treats,
And wounds, and betrayals, and crushing de-
feats;
But lol when disasters our courage o'erpower.
With sunburst and song comes the clearing-up
shower.
When the dreary December of life is at hand,
And we journey down hill thro' desolate land,
And swifter the milestOnes fit by one by one
In the gray after-glow of a day that is done,
And the night cometh down, with the wind
driven rain,
0, let us remember the olden refrain,
Past the darkness there dawneth the glad morn
ing hour
And tbis-thank God! this is the clearing-up
shower!

The Shah and His Dentist.

One of the most honored OF the
Shah's suite is the imperial dentist;
and NJ. Hybennet has probably seen
more OF English high life than any
person of his calling, except, of course,
Mr.. Evans. In his second diary his
Majesty frequently alIudes to the Per-
sian dentist-in-chief, who is, believe,
a Swede. One characteristic passage
runs thus: IN. Chretien, also dentist,
who was known to me through having
on my former voyage amused himself
with my teeth. came some days ago
with DIR. Tholozan. Hybennet had filed
a hollow tooth of my left upper jaw.
but the filling had become loose, and
Hybennet could not get itout; but when
Chretien had worked at it for some days
it finally came out. l was very glad,
and am going to have the tooth filed
anew" This was in 1878, but Hyben-
net has still charge of the imperial
World.

How Hair-clo tn Is Made.

Many people understand, of course,
how hair-cloth is made, but for the
edification OF those who do not we will
explain the process. In the first place,
horse-hair can not be dyed. 1t repels
coloring matter, so to make black cloth
it is necessary to secure natural black
hair. The horses, in many cases abso-
lutely wild, unrestrained, are regularly
coralled and shorn. OF course, black
hair is preferable, but sometimes gray
stock is utilized. Not only tho tails
but also the names are cut; the hair is
punched. These punches seldom con-
tain hairs of less length than two feet;
some are even three and one-half feet,
and the thickest of the punches is
usually two or three inches. The hair
cloth looms are provided with what we
may call nipper, in place of shuttle,
and the nipper is so finely actuated
that it travels across the warp and
seizes from the punches one hair only,
the jaws of the nipper being too fine to
grasp more than one, and carries it
across the weft threads, dropping it
into its exact place. The action of the
loom mechanically forces the hair next
to its predecessor, the warp crosses
upon it, snugly holds it in its place,
the nipper travels back and seizes an.
other, and SO on and on. The delicacy
and almost human accuracy with which
each separate hair is placed hatween
the warp threads Is really Incredible
