His father left him $500, 600, but he
gambled it all away. He cared literally
for nothing but gambling, and if he
had the money again he would risk it

EVERYWHERE in Palestine one sees
evidences of scientific farming. The
hills of old Judea were all terraced,
and wall after wall of vines rose in
steps from the valleys to the summit of
the mountains. The remains OF these
terraces are now to be seen, though
the rains of eighteen centuries have
almost denuded the limestone rocks of
their earth, and the mountains now are
only used for grazing. Palestine was
formerly we'll wooded country, and it
will probably become fertile again if
trees are planted 1t produces the
finest fruit in the world, and the or
anges of Jaffa are equal to those of the
Indian River in Florida. When the
million Russians get to Palestine they
will probably recultivate the hills, and
an increased rainfall will make the
country again "land flowing with
milk and honey"
The bold project of ship railway,
in lieu of q ship canal, to connect the
waters of Lake Huron with those of
Lake Ontario is now being agitated.
The distance between those two lakes
is sixty-seven miles by the proposed
route from Georgian bay to the mouth
of the Humber River, west of Toronto,
and it has been calculated that rail-
way, with three tracks of the standard
gauge, but with rails weighing from
100 to ITO pounds per yard, could he
built for sl2,0oO,O0 or about half the
cost of ship canal of the same capac-
lty. The land along the route reaches
\ height of 664 feet about Lake Huron.
so that there would be some heavy
grades or else some eyDensiya worl,
necessary. The proposed route would
save 42S miles of lake navigation and
'wenty-eight miles of canal between
Chicago and Montreal, and would en-
lble propeller to reach Montreal from
Quebec in less time than it can reach
Buffalo. The expected saving, three
lays, i'll the time between Chicago and /
he seaboard is consideration which
would warrant a large expenditure if
he project is feasible from an engineer
ng standpoint.

A Scrap of History.

The Republican managers of Mr..
Delamater's campaign in The State of
Pennsylvania this year, as they have
done in every campaign for the last
twenty years, are attempting to arouse
the prejudice of the old soldier. They
are distributing an illustrated circular
entitled "a Scrap of History" in
which they show the illustration of a
battle field, the burial of veteran and
what they purport to be the Pattison
idea of Potter's Field for the soldier.
All this is false and delusive and is in
keeping with the argument of The Re-
publican leaders for the election of
their corrupt bribe giving and bribe-
taking candidate for Governor. The
Republican party for years and years
have insulted the dignity aud man
hood of the soldiers of this country by
offering them brlbes 10 the wgy of of.

sions. In 1883 they said to the SOL
diers of this country if you will vote
for Benjamin Harrison we will give
you service pensions; we will give you
liberal pensions now that you are aged
and broken down that your children
and your families may not suffer, but
the promises have never been fulfilled.
As usual profuse and liberal in their
promises before election they fail to
keep them afterwards.

South Jersey oyster planters are
growing despondent owing to the con-
tinued warm weather, as it is feared
that many oyster beds will be covered
up with mud, caused by the high
tides in the river, lakes, and bays for
the past three DAYS. In Maurice
River Cove the oyste. crop was never
known to be SO large before. The
planters also report that the crop at
Somers Point, Lakes Bay, and Brigar-
tine shoals is immense.
Nevertheless il cool snap does not
soon come, small sales will be made, as
within twenty-four hours after the
oysters are fshed up from the be.-
they sour in the shell, This is hard
