The Growth of Jerusalem.

The Neuest Nachrichten aus dem Morgenland. a German newspaper published in Palestine. states that the city of Jerusalem is growing in in size and population at remarka- ble rate. Its growth is all the more surprising because neither it's situa- ton nor it's trade is favorable to a rapid increase; it lies among q not very fertile group of mountains, it las next to no commerce, and 1t has no manufactures. Nevertheless. new buildings are rising daily; churches, gardens and institutes of various kinds are filling up the formerly deso- late Deighborhood to the distance of half an hours work beyond the old limits of the city. The Jews are to the front as builders. Their houses spring out of the ground like mush- rooms-unform ugly, one-stored, plentifully supplied with windows, but with no manner of adornment. The Rothschilds have completed a new hospital. Close beside it there is new Abyssinian church. The Russians are also great builders; they have erected new church, consulate, lodging-houses for pilgrims of the orthodox national churches, and a hospital. Near to the Russian group stands the German houses v for German, Roman and papal flags float side by side. The Russians have also built q high tower upon the Mount of Olives, from whose summit the Mediterranean and the Dead sea can both be seen. The Greeks and Armedians are also busy builders. hut they provide for the bodily rather than the religious demand of the pilgrims. The former build cafes and bazaars, and the latter set up shops.

Over Eating.

It is a decree that while civilized man can not live without dining, he might live great deal longer without so much dining, or rather without dining so extensively. Sir Henry Thompson says that he has been compelled by facts to think that more mischief in the form of disease has accrued to civilized man from erroneous habits in eating than from the use of alcoholic drink. He also declared himself in doubt whether improper and inordinate eating were not as great moral evil as inordinate drinking. Many of our best physi- clans say that the habit of over eat ing is at the bottom of most trouble some diseases. Doubtless this habit is most often laid in childhood. How many mothers feed their babies as often as they cry, taking 1t for grant ed in the most imbeclle manner that the baby cries for food, when more often the helpless little victim cries because it has already had too much food. When the stomach once be- comes accustomed to being crowded with food, if the supply is cut short there is at first a gnawing sensation that is frequently mistaken for hun ger. Preserve little longer in your abstinance, and you will find your self beautifed by it. Halls Jour nal of Health.

The Siasta.

The word siesta is spanish, III" means the short sleep after dinner III which most people indulge who iiNc in hot climates. Tie heat of mid day is so enery.ring that it is lmpos- sible then to do effective work, so that the siesta, while it gives brief rest. does not cause loss of working hours.
 The need of a short nap after dinner is not less here than i4 the torr,d zone. Its effect to fu"''i*h new sappIy oE narvoas 'ree; '.@' on q smaller sca.c what il!c night 5 sleep does on a larger one.
 Both the climate of the country and our national habits tend to keep the brain and nervous system at i high tension. From youth to old age we are in the race for wealth or position. for pleasure or fashion, for reform or religion. How different is this from the indolent life of the tropics, and even from life in the European countries, where the pres sure-perhaps also the rewards of ambitious striving-may be less.
 We need something more than the mid-day nap. We need to see that , without radical change, there Is danger ahead for us. Indeed, much of it is already on us, in the rapid multiplying of apoplexy. paralysis, softening of the brain. heart con- plaint, nervous prostration and ner- yous ailments generally.
 We need to force ourselves to take things more quietly; to think more of the rest and solace and duties oi home. and less of the shop and clut and parties of pleasure. We need tc pTeacu up liC NtScS oi H
 and self-control, and preach dowr the vice of an all-consumlng greed. But, meanwhile, the mid-day nap i' of vast help. It is wonderful how , much recuperative power there is il nap of a few minutes. No one wht
 has ever acquired the habit of
 brief siesta has failed to experience 3 it, and perhaps there is no way ir ? which quarter of an hour of oul time, every day, can be invested r with a prospect of q better dividend g in health and length of days than il s an after-dinner nap.- Youths Com 1 Danion.

The present outlook for fair to good frmt crop this season, so far, is truly encouraging. Peaches are now in bloom, though the fruit buds are not nearly so numerous as last season; there are enough, however, and to spare for ordinary emergen- cies. Plums are blooming quite freely and show a fair degree of vitality. Cherries and apples indi- cate about the average number of fruit buds and so far, are in good condition. The strawberries have wintered we'll and are unusually viz orous in appearance, with indications that they will be upon the market several days in advance of last year.

AGRICULTURAL.
Why the Farmers are Poor.

The farmers in no part of the country are prosperous. In the New England and Middle states they are barely making living; in the Vest ern States they are burdened with mortgages. and in the Southern States they are complaining that they find it difficult to make expenses.
 X statement was published in the dispatches of the Morning News a few days ago, that more farms had been sold by the sheriff in one of the richest counties of Pennsylvania last January than in any year since the panic of 1873, and that the prospect was that great many other farms of the county would pass into the hands of the sheriff.
 The Senate of Nebraska a few days ago adopted a memorial to Congress asking for more currency. In the memorial it was stated that there were mortgages on Nebraska farms to the amount of $50, ,000,0 900, and that many farmers who had once been land owners were now tenants In Kansas many farmers have aban- doned their farms, which were st heavily mortgaged that they did mol yield their owners a living. In the South the farms are heavily mort gagged, though it is probable that tho Southern farmers are less heavily burdened with mortgages than thos, of the West. In almost all the West ern towns there are agencies fOI loaning money to the farmers at higl rates of interest This money be longs to rich men of the large cities who, as a rule, make their monev out of protected manufacturing en terprises.
 The majority of the Northern ant | Western farmers do not seem t, know what makes them poor. The, have been told frequently that if the, sell the products of their farms in tn cheapest market and buy their sup plies in the dearest they will eyentu ally become poor. That is wha they are doing now, and what the have been doing for years. The continue, however, to vote for tn Republican party and high tariff Probably when the most of them hay lost their farms, and the greater pal of the wealth of the country h; passed into the hand, of those int whose pockets the high tariff poul what it takes from the farmers, the will recognize the mistake they hay
 been making. What the Nebrasb
 farmers want is lower tariff, not
 greater volume of currency.
