Over this they have sleeveless cloaks of
dark red stripes and their heads are
covered with long shawls of linen
beautifully embroidered. Just above her
forehead each girl carries her dowry in the
shape of a wreath-like strip of silver coins
which stand on end fastened to 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
twenty-dollar gold pieces hung to strings
about their necks, and none of the women
hide their pretty faces, as do those Moham-
medan girls near by. who, in shapeless white
gowns with howery white and red wells COW
ering the whole of their faces, look like girls
playing ghosts in white sheets.
Beside these are Russian girls in the peas
ant costumes of modern Europe, and Jewish
maidens in gowns and fowered 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, fthe Beduin, the Arme-
man and the Greek are all in that crowd
below me, and among them all is the form
of the ubiquitous American traveller, who

has conquered the East as well as the West.
A BEDUIN INN.
was much interested in q Beduin inn,
which 1 next visited, and 1 imagine that
this inn was much the same as the stable in
which Jesus Christ was born. 1t consisted
of series of vaulted chambers, the walls
and roofs and floors of which were of stone
These chambers, like the stores, had no
lights, and they covered altogether about
the area of good-sized house. Entering
the narrow door 1 found four donkeys and
two camels in one vaulted compartment.
Upon a ledge near by, with nothing but
dirty straw mat to separate them ffom the
stones, three Beduin men IN their black and
white gowns lay doing. In another, cave
like compartment were several horses, and
the only sign of civilization was European
lamp, which was burning American coal oil
in the back of another cave. Through nv
guide chatted with the Keeper of the inn.
and he told me that his charge for feeding,
keeping and washing donkey or a horse
was cents day.
Nearly all of the business and manufac-
turing establishments of Jerusalem are of
this cave-like character. There is a nest in
the city known as the bazaars, and this Is
made up of long streets vaulted over with
these caves, opening out from the walls on
both sides and with every sort of work going
on IL them. The tools are, doubt not, the

After awhile I turned to Rodney and
asked:

"Ampere. Ampere," repeated. "Why

He smiled condescendingly. "Can it be

musingly. "You come from your home of

was?"
"Ah, he was man then"
"Yes, he was man, and a great one. But

he arose and paced the room again. shall
never forget the weird picture he presented.
His long, tousled hair hung about his
enormous head as though it had been flung
there by mischievous sprite. His gray
eyes had turned black with excitement, and
his face, unsymmetricsl as a piece of
gnarled oak, was almost ghastly in its pal
lor. His gigantic and clumsy figure seemed
to fill the small room. His flannel shirt was
open at the neck, and as he shuf1ed about
in his loose slippers could hardly believe
that i saw before me a man possessing the
culture of the schools and the breeding of a
gentleman.

voice, as though lecturing to class of

declares that a sharp little girl of 16 de-
tected him on the piazza when she
opened the door of her bathroom, half a
mile away.
She walked straight up that walk with
her eyes fixed on him. and, as she came
near, he discovered that she was clever and
tne looking creature with auburn hair and
blue eyes. He followed her with his gaze as
she moved up the steps, and she wore sort
OF half smile on her pretty mouth as she
steadily returned his look. When she
reached the middle step she sank on one
knee with little cry OF pain. The young
man sprang to her assistance, asking If he
could be of any service.

"Oh! it hurts so! Can you take my hand,
please? Thanks"
And with the assistance of the young man

sank into the first chair that was come to-.
Of course the young man fingered, and

hour, and the hotel was practically deserted,

sprained ankles and liniments till the crowd
began coming back from the beach. All
the girls looked with

A LAUGH THAT RINGS,
How to Distinguish the Good Fellow From
the Sneak.


Chicago Journal.i
A young man who is credited by his
friends with being good deal of philoso-
pher penned me up in corner to-day and
harangued me as follows: Ibid you ever
study the human laugh as an index to
humaS character? 1t is an infallible test.
me boy. Did you ever know a. man who
simpered and giggled like girl who wasn' It
a sneak in his heart? And, on the contra
ry, did you ever know fellow who laughed
squarely out with good honest roar who
wasn't the prince of good fellows?
A shrill laugh is indicative of deceit and
q deep chyckle proves sincerity and good
nature. BY this don't mean that o man
with a tenor voice can't laugh as though he
was honest. or one with a bass voice cover
his insincerity with mere below. It's
the ring that talks. If the laugh has no
ring in it you can put the fellow down as a
hall-hearted cuss, no matter if his laugh is
loud enough to lift the roof of the Audi
torium. Stand 20 men up in a row before
me and do something to set them all laugh
ing, and I'll separate the good fellows from
the Miss Nancies about as quickly as Won
could get outside beeisteak after years

said saw, and made successful dive
for liberty.

haps some night the husband comes home
with his electricity flowing from his feet to
his head. 1t is the first time that this has
occurred. His gentle vile has calmly
maintained a current which flows from her
head to her feet, and greets him as usual.

me?''
"whewl Well, I cannot honestly saw

Perhaps if knew more about the subject I
might grasp your meaning more readily.
Even admitting, however, that you are right
in the main, / really cant't see how your
discovery will do you the slightest good. It
is interesting. and, if you could prove your
propositions, might give you some notoriety
in certain circles. But you talk of wealth,
power and all that. What do you mean?"
"My dear boy" he remarked in a pater-
nal way, and with a ring of triumph in his
penetrating voice; "the step from such dis
covery to its practical application is very
short. You have known me only as a theor.
ist, reader, a talker. You must not for.
get that am a practical electrician, a me-
chanic, an inventor and-a desperate man."
He said the last two words under his
breath, as though rather ashamed of them,
In moment he went on:

man could obtain complete control Of his
own electric currents, and at the same time
be able to learn the direction in which the
current of another person with whom be was
conversing, was flowing, he could fascinate
or antagonize that person at will. Further
more, if he could control the strength Of his
own current he could moderate or increase
that attraction or repulsion at pleasure.
Then would all the prizes OF the earth be his.

the way Of young people that is to be found

Livery uotel Is u cOrnucOpla OF youths ana
maldens, and, of course, that assures a vast
amount Of frivolity. Dancing is a perfect
rage. 1t begins after breakfast and doesn't
cease till toward the following morning.
Twice each week full dress hop is perpe-
trated, and the girls dare to be showy in
their costumes, while the men actually have
nerve enough to come down in evening
dress, looking like trussed turkeys. 1t is
strange distortion of ruralness, this. So
fashionable are some of the girls that have
sketched one OF them in her afternoon prom
enade attire, and of an evening the toilets
are ball-like, as shown by the next picture
of two fair young Old Orchardites.
One becomes acquainted readily here, for
q lovely young man is hired on purpose to
promote social intercourse. He gets a new
conner by the lapel of the coat and tows him
up to dancing girls; these latter are always
anxious to sample fresh partner. I think
they judge q man by his waltz movement.

same as those which were used in the days
of Herod and Christ, and the crowd of Gus
toners is much the same. Above these
streets and above all of this under Jerusa-
lem houses are built. The city has half q
dozen different levels, and the Jerusalem of
to-day is founded upon the remains of sew
eral Jerusalems of the past. In some places
by excavation, other houses and temples
have been found below the level of the
present city, and there is perhaps no city in
the world which so we'll pays excavation as
this one Just outside of the present city.
in building q new monastery, the monks
have come upon some very line mosaics,
and they claim to have undoubted evidence
that the spot on which their monastery
stands is the place on which st. Stephen
stood when he was stoned. You see Greek
and Roman capitals and columns in many
parts OF the present Jerusalem, and the
whole of Palestine is honeycombed with
ruins. If the fund, which is now talked of
in America, for making excavations at
Delphos in Greece were devoted to Palestine
there is no doubt but that under the proper
explorers it could accomplish wonders,
WONDERFUL RUINS.
It must be remembered that Jerusalem
has been almost entirely destroyed q num-
Der of times, and that 1t has undergone
two score OF sieges. The walls which sur
round the city and especially those which
run up from Solomon's temple are

ALL IN THE AIR.
It is all in the air, of course. This sea
air covers o multitude OF everything. It
stimulates children so that they can't get to
bed till near midnight. It instigates here
more successful dances than one is accus-
toned to find in summer weather. A hop
or q german here is positively imposing in
its whirling plentifulncss. The dance hall
is dazzling with a moving throng of people
who are not afraid to come out in every color
that nature knows, or dyeing establishment
can produce. The result OF this courage is
not artistic, but it opens up new and inter-
esting fields for the looker-on, and be is I'M
able to poke fun at the occasion, for it goes
with snap and vigor that invests it with
dignity. II would CONCEAL the blood of

Hezekiah made to supply the holy city with
