Jerusalem Built Over Ruins.

As the traveller walks on he percelves that his footsteps are not on the original ground of Jerusalem, but upon a mass of superimposed matter which has been strewn over the whole site. History enumerates seventeen captures of the holy city, eleven of which were attended by siegeS more or less destructive. After many of tEese events the houses then standing were razed to the earth. These were in time succeeded by new houses, which in their turn were overthrown at the next siege, and so on, each capture adding to the accumulation of rubbish. Thus the trayeler learns that a compact layer of solid coating, from thirty to fifty feet in thickness, has been by degrees spread over the entire space.
 Even the valleys and ravines between the several hills on which the city was built have been so far filled up as to have partly lost their special character, as all ready mentioned. The Tyropheon brook is, perhaps, the most particular instance. The traveller will have heard of this brook, or read of it in Josephus, as a landmark in the interior of this city, but he will not find it. Nevertheless it was so deep that at its exit from the city at Moriah the bridge span was more than 100 feet above its bed. Its course has been traced by the discovery of the arch and by deep excavations here and there which have exposed the bed now over laid with ruins. Palestine Illustrated. :"

CoI5arJlice of the Suicide.

Rarely io we have a suicide from noble motives, though suicide himself, as rule. takes the ground that somehow he is hero. Here again is a delusion amounting almost to insanity. and yet falling short of it. What to the de- stroyer of his own life seems a pathetic sacrifice looks to the world more like a freak of vanity, self pity or ehagrin. The wretched murderer, in the inevitable manifesto which he issues before his act, assumes that he himself is the one that is chiefly to be pitied, whereas. in most cases, he forfeits all claim to sympathy by base desertion oJ duty, and all the goes out to the victim of his cowardice.
 As cowardice in some one of its myriad forms is almost the sole motive to sui eide, this crime is essentially contempti- ble, and, therefore, any secret impulse to take refuge in it should be sternly re- jected by the true man or woman. Life often looks forbidding and dark, but only a craven will surrender, even if no other heart will bleed but his own. And what aggravated cowardice that is which, rather than oppose trouble, sinks away just when the need is the greatest {! This is to desert in the face of the enemy "a crime justly held to be the most heinous soldier can commit. New York Commercial Advertiser.

Getting Ready for the Old Masters.

A young lady came to 8 Boston ar list to take lessons, and after she had in- formed him that she expected to go abroad in three months and in that time wished to learn to copy the old masters in order to partly pay her expenses in Europe, she added:
 ''I suppose pastels will be hard to pack, won't they?"
 "Pastels?" he repeated. Are you in- tending to make copies of the old mas ters in pastels?'
 "WeI, she answered, that's one of the things 1 wanted to ask you. Pastels wouldn't have to dry, you know, and l could wear gloves so that I shouldn't get my fingers smutted; only did not know whether they would pack we'll"
 The artist looked at her moment in silent amazement and decided that she was not quizzing him, but was in sober earnest
 q dare say pastels would by all means be best for you,' he said, 'but do not give lessons ill pastel. You will have to find somebody else. Boston Courier.

Self Doctoring in Epidemics.

Self doctoring is always dangerous, except for the simplest ailments. Few persons understand the significance of their symptoms; the difficulty of doing so is greatly increased by the complex nature of most diseases, and the modif- cation of treatment demanded by indi- vidual temperament and hereditary ten dencies. Even if the patient knows what ails him he is not likely to know the remedy, the size and frequency of the dose, and the proper regulation of the diet in connection with it.
 Howprofound is the general ignorance upon this subject is shown by the enor- nous consumption of medicines. Multi tudes of people try one nostrum after another in utter blindness. If all such compounds were thrown into the sea it would save every year millions of dollars and thousands of lives.
 During the prevalence of a widespread epidemic self doctoring becomes pecul- iarly perilous. Fear is in the air, and is more contagious than smallpox itself. Under its influence men fly to drugs either to ward off the dreaded attack or to cure a disease which very likely exists only in the patients excited imagination. The impaired condition of the system under this i'll advised dosing invites the very attack which the dosing was in- tended to avert.-Youth's Companion.

Folk Lore of the Oak.

The oak is a tree celebrated in mythol- ogy and folk lore. Many of the events of the early Jewish history are connected with it, and the oak of Shechem, the oaks of Bashan and other trees of the same kind seem to attest the importance of this tree. It was even more impor- tant to the Druids, who venerated it and its parasite, the mistletoe. Mysterious properties were sometimes accorded to oak trees. In one part of England ague was cured by passing the sufferer under an oak branch that had taken root in the ground. Near certain cross roads i'll Hertfordshire stood an oak which was approached to effect cure for the same malady. This was done by begging a lock of hair into the tree and wrenching it from the head.
 An old German law forbade any one from cutting down an oak tree. The oak and the hazel were said to be on bad terms, and could not agree. In Englai!d this prohibition seems formerly to have included other trees.-F. $. Bassett in Globe-Democrat.

Royal Autographs at Washington.


 The great departments of Washington have hidden away in their musty records the romances of the greatest men of the United States. There is tradition that some very spicy love letters of George Washington are hidden away in the state department. Others of the records contain references to the troubles which existed at the time that Peggy O'Neill, the handsome daughter of the Washing ton tavern keeper, married Maj. Eaton. Jackson's secretary of war, and set Washington society by the ears, and still others describe the troubles which Alexander Hamilton underwent through the persecution of the pretty Mrs. Key nolds By all odds the most interesting volumes of love and marriage, however, found in these departments are those which contain the letters of kings and queens, describing their marriages and in glowing terms picturing their grati tude to heaven for the birth of prince or a princess.
 According to the court etiquette of Europe whenever a son or daughter is born to ruler letter is sent to the state department. These letters are carefully filed. They are bound in great morocco covered books and they consti- tute the most valuable autograph collec- ton of the United States. In them the handwritings of the kings of the earth are huddled together and the pens of queens and princes lie side by side. Many of the pages are bordered with black, announcing the death of ruler, but such an announcement is always ac- companied by the proclamation of the rise of another to the throne, and the old rule, ''The king is dead. long live the kingr' ever holds good.-Washing- ton Letter,

4 Simple Storage Battery,

Get two half round porous cups, and a round glass jar large enough for two porous cups to stand in upright. Get two plates of sheet lead one-sixteenth of an inch thick, wide enough to fit the half round side of the porous cups and deep enough to come an inch or SC above the top edge of the cups and jar. Solder a stout copper wire or a screw post to each lead plate at the top. Place the lead plates in the cups, and fill the cups nearly full with a paste made of red lead mixed with a solution of sulphate of soda thin enough to run like a cement.
 The glass jar containing the two cups should be filled to within half an inch of the top of the cups with sulphuric acid and water-about one part of acid to eight of water. The plates should be marked, so that, in charging. the currents may be sent in the right dircc- ton. The cell may be charged by at taching it to a series of a dozen sul- phate of copper cells for twenty-foIr hours or from a dynamo. A wooden cover may be fitted to the glass jar. and evaporation of the fluid should be replenished by adding water. Two or more cells of this battery will work small motors, lamps and induction coils, and if thoroughly charged will retain large volume of electricity for a considerable time. After being once well charged, four to six cells of sul- phate of copper battery viii recharge it.-Journal of the Telegraph.

washington's Handsomest House.

The most perfect house in Washing ton and the most beautiful is that of MT. Warder, a retired reaper and now CT manufacturer of Springfield, o. IL is a Dutch house, with a stone court and gable roofs It was built by Rich ardson, the greatest architect this coun- try has yet produced and the designer of many of the finest private houses in Washington. He not only designed the Warder house, but the furniture which it contains, and under his direction the very hangings were selected and pat terms cut. The result is said to be the most artistic house in America. There is nothing ostentatious about it, and it was not so very costly. am glad to add that it is a real home.-COr. Scran- ton Truth

He Really Loved Her.

A young lady of this city who is said to be worth not less than $50, GOO in pros pective was the object of the attentions of a young man with whom she was very favorably impressed, but who, with every encouragement. continued to pause just short of a proposal. The young lady managed to put in circulation what ap- peared to be a reliable report that her pecuniary expectations were simply in the public mind, and in two days the young fellow had proposed and been ac- cepted. It is not often that $50,000 con stitutes an obstacle to young ladys matrimonial success, but it did in this case, and the lady in question doesn't feel in the least put out about it.-Bing- hamton Leader.

A Plant That Catches Flies.

One sees many curious things in na- ture, and nowhere is there anything stranger to be found than among certain species of the vegetable kingdom. There is to be seen in the yard of c. L. Stilson a towering curiosity It is what is known as a black lily. When it first blooms it is black, but gradually fades to a dark purple. It is bulbous, the same as other members of the genus lileicea. The flower is something of the shape of a calla, but much larger, being some six teen inches across the top by ten inches in breadth. It is serrated around the edges. The pistil emanates from a pouch about ten inches in depth, and is itself sC.,9 fifteen inches long by nearly an averIS2 width of an inch, and is perfectly black. But the most curious thing about the flower is its odor, and it has lots of that. Itis extremely offensive, smelling like the decaying carcass of a horse or COW. Flies swarm about the flower. Attracted by the odor, they find their way into the pouch from which the pistil comes, and once down in there they never get out. It is really worth visit to see it.-Chico (Cal.) Record.

A Russian Law Suit.

The courts at Ti1is, Russia, have be- fore them the suit of a man to recover from a professional assassin the sum of S165. The man hired the assassin for S75 down to kill an enemy, and promised S75 more when he should receive proof of the death in the shape of the enemy's ear. The assassin brought around an ear and received the S75, with S15 added for tip. A few days later the man met his enemy, alive and entirely whole as to his ears, upon the street. An investi- gation showed that the assassin had also received S10O from the enemy as a re- ward for having betrayed the plot to him.-Philadelphia Ledger.

A Cyclone Relic on A Car Trnck.

Station Master Raser discovered curi- ous paper in truck of a sleeping car on the limited train from the west. He picked it out and found that it was a bond and mortgage payable by the West ern Farm Mortgage Trust company, of Lawrence, Kan. The principal is S4OO. Attached to the mortgage are twelve coupons for the interest, payable at the Bank of the Republic at Boston. The se- ries is 90, and the number 156. It is duly signed and sealed, and signed by the president and secretary. The first interest coupon is payable Aug. 1, 1890.
 It probably is a souvenir of the great storm in the west, and was blown into the truck by the wind.-Utica Observer.

Pickles. Sour and Sweet.

An observant gentleman tells The Groceryman of this city, that the north erp girls eat sour pickles as though they loved them, while a southern belle re- quired them made into sweet pickles, and will not eat the tiny, sharp little pickles our northerners so like. Sweets to the sweet" however, is the motto of both; for The Record will wager a sour ball to kiss verse that the girls in Dixie love caramels as well as do the girls that bloom with the roses on the northern side of Mason and Dixon's line.-Phila- delphia Record.

The Farmers Home Market.

The Charleston News and Courier
makes the following summary
According to tie department report
for 1888 the corn crop Of the United
States in that year was 1857, 80, 900
bushels, and was valued at SG7T, ,3Gl $50.
According to the report for 1889, the
crop was Zip, So, 900 bushels, and was
valued at only $397 ,9IS,S2O. That is to
say, the corn crop oflSS9 exceeded that
of lSSS by 125, ,1O2,om bushels, but was
worth SO, $500 less mouey to the
farmers who raised it.
The comparative statistics OF the
wheat crop for the two years afford
equally starting figures. The wheat
crop of lSSS was 4l5, SIS, ,0AO bushels.
The crop of lSSowas 49O, ,3GA, ,020 bushels.
The crop of IS>> was valued at S:'53, Us
03G, however, while the crop Of 1889
WAS valued at only $40, +9l ,7o.. 1t is
seen that the crop Of 1885 was greater
than that Of 1889 by 7+,G933,G0 bushels,
but sold for S35, 756,}}23 less money.
There is another interesting chapter
in the returns for the oat crop. The
oat crop oflSSS was 70l, G35, 900 bushels
The crop of 1889 was 81 1000 bushels.
The crop of lSSS was valued at Sl93, IA,
2240, however, while the of 1850 was
valued ut 7l,7Sl ,00S. That is to say,
the oat crop Of 1889 was greater than
that of 1855 by 49,Sl0,000 bushels, but
sold for So, 81, 2:;2 less money.
Taking the three great crops together
corn, wheat and oats--it WAS seen
that there WAS an increase in produc-
ton in 1889 over lSSS OF 249, 634 900
bushels. while the entire production Of
1881 sold fer Si%9, 9422,3i5 less money
ii!:,n ihc production Of 1888.
Taking ,Ae prices of IsSS rs the stand
ara. again We have ;he result that the
TURNER'S loss on the corn crop Of 1889
WAS $i3o.r,T4, +'Hi; on the wheat cror,
Sl09, ,73S, 81, ana on the oat crop, So
!56, >-.2:2-a total loss Of $2533390, l:5 in
twelve months on these three staple
crops alone.
