BELLS OF bethlehem.
The Prcttiest Women to Be Found Around
Jerusalem.

There is market inside the Jaffa
gate, and | can see it just under me as
/ write. Great piles of oranges and
lemons lie upon the flag sidewalk, and
there are scores of women with baskets
of vegetables before them. Many OF
these are from Bethlehem, and the
Bethlehem girls are the prettiest you
see in Jerusalem. They have straight,
well-rounded forms, which they clothe
in long linen dress of white, beauti-
fully embroidered in silk, so that a
single gown requires many months OF
work. This dress is much like an
American woman's night gown without
the frills and laces. II falls from thu
neck to the feet and is open at the
front of the neck in a narrow slit as
far down rs Il modest decollete fashion
able dress.s Over this they.have sleeve
less cloaks OF dark red stripes and
their heads are covered with long
shawls of linen beautifully embroid-
cred. just above her forehead each
girl carries her dowry in the shape of
u wreath-lille strip of silver coins
which stand on end fastened to Il string,
and crown the forehead with money.
Some OF the girls have several rows of
these coins and some have crowns OF
gold. Not few have coins Of silver
and gold the size of our $50 gold pieces
hung to strings about their necks, and
none of the women hide their pretty
faces, as do those Mohammedan gisls
near by, who. in shapeless white gowns
with iiowery white and red wells cover
ing the whole of their faces, look like
girls playing ghosts in white sheets.
Beside these are Russian girls in the
peasant costumes of modern Europe
and jewish maideps in gowns and
lowered shawls. There are Greek
priests, with high, black caps, and
monks Of all kinds, such as you see
under the black cowls of Europe. The
Syrian. the Turk, the Bedouin, the
African, the Armenian and the Greek,
are all in that crowd below me, and
among them all is the form OF the
ubiquitous American traveller, who, in
pith helmet hat and green sun umbreb-
la. has conquered the East as we'll as
the West.-F. G. Carpenters Jerusa-
lem Letter in ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.

"Got enoughP" was the laconic in
quiry again addressed to him. Bills
head tried to nod an affirmative and
the grip was relaxed sufficiently to let
him speak.
"Say you've got enough, them"
enough" was the dogged response,
and the two men rose from the ground.
The fight was finished.
"Ther' won't be no more trouble in
that air school this winter" was the
conclusive observation of Mr. Jasper
Stricklan to the little group who were
walking through the woods with him
by the light of shell-barlk torch. JAS

some thirty odd years, the best deer
shot in all that country. He carried
his rihe everywhere and had it now on
his shoulder. He was an admitted

Mr.. Jasper Stricklan's prediction
was fulfilled. The school at Monk 8
corners recognized from the outset that
it had master. The young toughs
and bullies who had not been witnesses
of Big Bills layout soon had authentic
information of it from disinterested
witnesses, and concluded to postpone
the exhibition of their physical prowess

with rapid succession of thumps and
punches. Something in the upstretch ed
hand OF Bill cleaned in the moonlight.
Look out, master, he's got a knife"
A murmur of suppressed horror ran
through the loolSers-on. This capital
piece of fun might develop into a
tragedy. The girls, huddled together
by the school-house door, began tc
scream. The agile master caught the
descending blows on his left arm, al
the same instant dexterously tripping
up the feet of his antagonist, who fell
like q tree to the ground. He was on
his breast, his right hand at Bills
throat and his left pinioning to the

teacher made no reply but held him
hard to the ground, himself painting

"Have you got enoughP" he in

voice. The only answer was a more
vigorous effort to free himself from
his victor's grasp, but the latter tight

pressure of his knees on his chest until

Tho earth will quicken here, as there,
with vital force-so fair the seed,
The blossom must be wondrous fair!"

And blot the stars from shore to shore.
All, woe, to go into the dark

Up the steep surge the fight of foam,
The great propulsion OF the tideS
To lose the halfdeveloped dream
Ofunknown powers, the bursting throe

Destroying Moths with Salt.

For moths salt is the best extermin-
ator. The nuns in one of the hospital
converts have tried everything else
without success, and their experience
is valuable, as they have so much
clothing of the sick who go there, and
strangers, when dying there, often
leave quantities OF clothing, etc. They
had room full OF feathers, which
were sent there for pillow making, and
they were in despair, as they could not
exterminate the moths until they were
advised to try common salt. They
sprinkled it around, and in week or
ten days were altogether rid OF the
moths. They are never troubled now.
In heavy velvet carpets sweeping them
with salt cleans and keeps them from
moths. as particles OF the salt remain
in the carpets and corners. Salt is not
hurtful to any one, and has no bad
smell. Here is little hint l add,
which. perhaps, every one does not
know: For cleaning wash-basins. baths,
etc., use the same thing, common dry
salt. Rub little OF the salt with your
fingers on the basin. Often sort OF
scum is noticed in the basins in a
marble washstand in the bathroom;
the salt takes it off easily, and leaves
the basin shining and clean. .-Philadel

A THIEF CAUGHT.

On several occasions the boarders
at private boarding house on Ho-
tel street have missed small amounts
of money left in their clothes. One
young man missed S13 30 the other
day. He set trap for the thief by
marking a half dollar and placing ii
in his pants pocket. The bait took =,
for the marked money was found on
the person of q young Chinese boy,
who had been employed in making
the boarders' beds. The boy re-
turned $40 of the stolen money anC
promised to make the balance god,
but as other money has been missed
it has not yet been decided what to
do. The hoy is under arrest at the
Station House, charged with larceny
in the third degree.
