A Jerusalem Shoe Shop and Restauran,

In describing some Of his experiences
in the Holy City in the New York World,
Frank Carpenter says: 81 stopped one
afternoon before n shoe shop, and out OF
curiosity, took its measurements. It was
hole in the wall cut out with base four
feet above the cObble-stOne street. A
rude stone two feet high was the step by
which the shoemaker crawled into il.
and it was just three feet wide, five feet
high and eight feet deep. II was as dark
as a pocket and the shoemaker squatted
" the entrance with a board on his lap
and ne filled it completely. He was
working at a pair Of rough Bcdouiu shoes
and the owner Of these squatted cross.
legged in his bare feet while the cobbler
waxed his thread and in pulling IL was
careful 10 move his hands toward tho
street and back into the shop. The place
was so small that had he pulled his thread
in the ordinary way hc would have barked
his elbows against the walls. There aro
hundreds of such shops in Jerusalem, and
the average business place is moro like
bank vaulf than anything else. Next %
this shoe bhop there was Jerusalem res
taurant. II was m oval hole cut into tho
hill tw9vc feet high, eight feet wide and
forty fsct deep. At the front was the
cooking stove Of Jerusalem, consisting Of
n rude slab Of limestone with holes bored
into the top as big around as q workman's
dinner bucket, aud with other holes
piercing these from the sides. A few
inches from the top Of each hole was "a
rude iron grating and upon this the char
coal was laid, and by the draught which
came In from below the cooking was
done. The slab was mounted on cord
wood posts, and il had FIVE Fireplace
At the back a rough table without a cloth
was set for the guests, and the only chairs
were little stools foot high and about -
foot square, the seats Of which were of
woven cords.

first broke open barber shop and, with razor
in hand, walked three blocks to the house of q
friend, and while standing on the curb at mid
night drew the keen weapon across his throat
inficting cash which lacerated the larynx
and ssophagus. Falling in the gutter from
weakness occasioned by loss of blood, he be-
came unconscious and would soon have bled to
death had not his means attracted the attention
Of his friends mother, who aroused her son.
Two physicians were summoned and removed
the young man to his mothers house. and after
stitching up the ugly wound had him removed
to the county hospital The mother and young
man were informed that he could not possibly
live, but before week he showed signs of i'm

with his neck bandaged. He is considerably
emaciated, but in a few weeks will be himself,
the wounds being almost healed The case
puzzles the doctors. Sweitzer is delighted
He says the loss of child impelled him to COM
