The White Mans Paradise.
Dayto II News Gazette.

Dayto News Gazette.
Hill City opposite to Chattanooga,
is the white mans paradise. "No
colored people have purchased homes,
nor can they buy one in Hill City,"
is what resident OF that suburb told
reporter of the Chattanooga News.
The majority of the residents of that
city on hill will be largely Republi-
can, as soon as the property holders
let it be known that colored people
cannot buy homes there. All the
land for mile or two on either side
of Hill City is owned by Northern
capitalists (; it is the purpose of these
thrifty business men to employ the
best landscape gardener in this coun-
try to lay the grounds off and beauti-
fly them. A bridge across the Ten
nessee river will give rapid and easy
transit to many to whom a home on
the north side means more than a
home On the south side ever can.
Judge Holden has entire and alb
solute control of everything pertain
ing to the the evolution of Hill City,
and it goes without saying that what
ever will make for the gathering in
of shekels for the rich men that own
all the land round about it will be
vigilantly looked after and vigorous
ly carried out. To this end, the col
ored citizen and brother is denied the
privilege Of sitting under his own
vine and fig tree in Hill City.
| Beer is also thing upon which
prohibition has already been put by
Judge Holden, so far as the posses
sions of the capitalists east and west
of Hill City are concerned. Beer
gardens can't get a foothold there.
This edict has gone forth, so says the
reporter of the News. Judge Hold
den is the man in the hollow ofwhose
hand this embryo city lies, and there
isn't single beer line in the palm of
his hand. There is not any "Over
the Rhine" in his hand for thirsty
residents of Hill City. 1t is a dry
town, strikingly in contrast with the
wet town on the south side of the
Tennessee River. We shall watch,
with curious interest, the evolution
of the town the Northern capitalists
have planted on the north banks Of
the Tennessee-a peerless and a
negroless town.

Application has been made by Jos.

ranean, about midway between Tyre
and Cesarea, by way of Lake Cali
lee, over the river Jordan to Damas-
Gus. Authority for the navigation of
the lake and a priority of right for
the extension of a line over any other
applicant for three years is asked for.
The line is to follow the river Kifhon
for six miles, going within three and
three quarters miles of Nazareth, and
then ascending the valley to the
watersheds of the Jordan. The line
will proceed along the northwest of
the lake close to the plain of Genes
aret, up the Jordan, crossing it about
two miles below Merlin. From that
point the line turns toward the east
to Damascus, a distance of one hun
dred miles from the coast. A branch
line will 60 to Naova, the capital of
the Hauran, with an option to con-
tinue on to Bosra, the ancient capital
of Bashan.
The practical part of Mr.. Elias
application is interesting. He esti-
mates the population to be served at
500, 900, or about 5000 to the mile.
Damascus has about 100000 inhabi-
tants and there are ten towns with
from 1000 to 10000 inhabitants and
about 5,04O villages. Although the
district is very fertile, only one-sixth
of thearable land is under cultivation.
There is an abundance of streams,
however, so that the country could
be easily irrigated.

The Crown of Thorns.
Letter in n. Y. Herald.

Letter in N. Y. Herald.
/ know the masters of painting
from Guido in his wonderful "Ecce
Homo" down to the present time
have depicted the crown that rested
upon the head of our crucified Saviour
as twisted branch of bare thorns,
and that is so far as i know, uni
versally accepted as the true crown.
Some years ago an incident that oc-
cured in the Holy Land caused me
to think that this popular belief may
be mistake. A party of us who
were journeying toward Jerusalem at
this season of the year, which is iden-
teal with the passion and death of
the master, had stopped to rest and
lunch just after entering the hill
country, some miles beyond Remleh,
when lady of the party who was
gathering the beautiful flowers that
covered the landscape on all sides
wreathed an exquisite spray, and
holding it up exclaimed: "The crown
Of thorns"
Our party were delighted with the
wreath and upon examining it we
found that long sharp thorns were
concealed by the lovely pink flowers.
We were convinced that this was the
true crown, and as we advanced to-
ward Jerusalem we saw that the
whole country, even to the walls of
the city, was. covered with this flow
ering thorn.
The plant and flower are very sim
liar to what we commonly call the
Towering almond, with the addition
of the thorn. The bloom is very
thick, so that by merely entwming a
branch a wreath is made, while the
long sharp thorns set out at right an
giles about an inch apart make it n
very painful crown to wear upon the
human brow.
When we remember that the SOL
diers who dressed our Saviour with
the purple robe and crown did 1t as II
mockery, it is reasonable to believe
that they chose this plant, which was
so accessible and would make beau
tiful appearance, while at the same
time wounding his holy brow.
Many who have visited Palestine at
this season of the year have doubtless
had this suggested to them, yet |
have never seen comments upon it in
any book of travels.

Depth of the Ocean,

Popular Science News.
The greatest known depth of the
ocean is midway between the island
of Tristan d'Acunha and the mouth
of the Rio de la Plata. The bottom
was there reached at depth of 49,
236 feet, or eight and three-fourths
miles, exceeding by more than 900
feet the height of Mount Everett,
the Hottest mountain in the world.
In the North Atlantic ocean, south
of Newfoundland, soundings have
been made to a depth of 1850
fathOms, or q ,4SO feet, while depths
equaling $4,000 feet, or six and one
half miles, are reported south of the
Bermuda islands. The average depth
of the Pacific ocean between Japan
and California is a little over 1000
fathoms; between Chilli and the
Sandwich islands, $500 fathoms, and
between Chill and New Zealand,
1900 fathOms. The average depth
of all the ocean is from 1000 to $500
fathoms.

The Season fer Insect Pests.

The caterpillars, which are making
their tents earlier this year than
usual, owing to the warm spring
weather, should be looked after at
once. The simplest and perhaps, on
the whole, the best way of getting
rid of them is to brush off the nests
from the trees as fast as they appear,
with a long-handled, conical-shaped
brush. Early morning or evening is
the time when the entire family may
be found at home, so that is the best
time to destroy the nest.
The codling worm, which infests
fruit trees Throughout the land,
should be looked after at once. There
are many ways of getting rid of the
pests, but none is believed to be
better than spraying the trees fire.

An Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert wellknown
journalist in agricultural circles,
writes April 18th, 1889: Some five
years ago l wrote letter stating that
Swift's Specific had cured me of
severe rheumatism. Since that time
have had no return of the rheu-
matte troubles, although frequently
exposed to the influences that pro-
duced former attacks. Several of my
friends had a similar experience, and
are firm in their conviction that S.
S. S. brought a permanent cure. The
searching power of this medicine is
shown in the fact that it developed
a scrofulous faint that was con-
spicuous in my blood over thirty years
ago, and has removed the last trace
of it. L have also tested S. S. S. as a
tonic after a severe attack of malarial
fever, which kept me in bed for three
months, and am convinced that its
curative and strengthening properties
insured my recovery from that illness,
as l was in a very low condition of
health. SIDNEY HERBERT,
