The Modern Palestine.

Palestine is slowly improving in char
acter. Tho Jews are coming back to the
land from Europe and other parts of the
world, and the strangest colony is that
known as the Gadites, supposed to be one
of the lost tribes, who hail from Southern
Arabia These people are engaging in
agriculture, and | am told they make
good farmers. The Israelitish Alliance,
consisting of the Rothschilds and other
wealthy Jews, have established number
of agricultural colonies in different parts
of Palestine. They have model farms in
the Holy Land. One of these is en- the
plains of Sharon. 1t contains tens of
thousands of vines and olive trees, and it
consists of twenty-eight thousand acres.
The Turks do not like to sell the land to
the Jews and are averse to the improve
ment of the country. The Sultan fears
that he will lose Palestine if it becomes
valuable, and he would rather see it a
desert than garden. The Germans have
several agricultural colonies in Palestine.
There is one near Jaffa which is doing
well. The German colonists believe it is
their mission to bring Palestine back to
its former state by cultivation, and they
are trying to colonize the country. They
have already shown that it has great pos
sibilities, and the prospects of the Holy
Land have not been so bright for years as
they are now. If the land could be
owned by Christians, and cultivvted un-
der Christian laws and Christian taxes it
might again become Land of Milk and
Honey American Agriculturist.

Steam Curry Comb.

The brush and curry-comb are indis-
pensable little tools for cleaning horses;
but they involve the expenditure of so
much elbow grease, that "A substitute
worked by steam is sure Of favor. In
the Palmer House livery stables in Chi
cago are steam brushes, cylinders in
form, and revolving on a stick which
may be held in the hand. This the
operator passes rapidly over the horse,
making dust and hair fly at a rate that
keeps the air thick. Two men work at
one horse, one on each side, and they
will go over an animal in forty seconds.
A repetition of the cleaning leaves so
little dust, that white handkerchief
may be passed over the coat without
soiling 1t. This horse cleaner is often
operated by steam. Some time, prob
ably, the storing Of electric power will
be so perfect, that surplus power
collected from wind mills or waterfalls
may be kept convenient to houses and
barns, to furnish power for any small
force that may be desired, cleaning
horses, or turning grindstones in barns,
or churning, washing, or running the
sewing machine in the house. National

A Modern Bluebeard,

A man, whom his neighbors call q
Bluebeard, has been discovered and i'm
prisoned in the vicinity of Belgrade.
His name is Buja. For the last twenty
years he has been considerable land
owner and the proprietor of the largest
tavern in the suburbs of the Servian
capital. Buja was living with his first
wife when he made his first appearance
among the Belgraders, in 1869. Two
years later she vanished. Buja adver-
tised for her, paid detectives to try to
find her, and apparently mourned for
her deeply, after all his efforts had
proved vain.
Two years elapsed and he married
again. The second Mrs. Buja lasted
until the middle of 1874. Then she,
too, dropped out of sight Buja did as
he had done when the first Mrs. Buja
vanished, and was just as unsuccessful
as before. With 1875 came another
Mrs. Buja who could not be found after
July, 1876. In the spring of 1877 a
fourth Mrs. Buia shared Mr.. Buia's bed
and board. She was young and pretty,
and as devoted to her husband as he
seemed to be to her. After ball one
evening in 1878 she started for home
alone in cab. She was never seen
alive afterward. Her husband ran.
sacked the country for her, mourned
with unusual vehemence, and swore he
would never marry again.
He remained single until 1884, when
he took fifth wife. He has lived with
her ever since and has had three chill
dren by her. He had bad luck in land
speculation eighteen months ago and
was obliged to sell part of his farm.
Six weeks ago the purchaser broke
ground for q cellar. Two feet below
the surface he came upon sealed beer
barrel. In it he found the skeleton Of
q woman attired in ball dress. The
wrists were tied and the legs were
twisted back against the body. Some
jewelry that had dropped from the wo-
mans neck and ears gave the clue to
the fact that the skeleton belonged to
the body of Buja's fourth wife. Buia
was arrested, and confessed that he had
throttled her, packed her in the cash,
and buried her on the night of her re-
turn from the ball. His only reason
for the murder was that he was weary
of her. Buja refused to say whether
or not he killed his other three dead
wives. The police are having the Buja
farm carefully examined with pick,
shovel and plow, in the hope of find
ing the skeletons of the rest of the wo.
men Buja is suspected of having put
out of his way.

a Russian Solomon.


The Solomons are not all dead SO long
as a certain judge at Dorpat, Russia,
lives. A plaintiff sued for COW for
which he said he had paid, but he could
bring no other proof againt the assertion
of the former owner that he had not.
The judge, after hearing the case, pro-
nounced in favor of the defendant, and
then invited the audience, including the
defendant, to make up subscription for
the plaintiff. The defendant willingly
gave three roubles, whereupon the Judge,
looking at them, said: "'What do you
mean by using counterfeit money! Ex-
plain how you got this or you will go to
Siberia" Thereupon the defendant con
fessed that he had got them from his
enemy, the plaintiff, and as a punish
mcnt he was compelled to pay them back
again and deliver the cow.

DR.. Talmage on Sudden Death.

A party of gentlemen were lately dis
cussing the recent expression of opinion
of Lord Tennyson, who, in letter of
coincidence on the occasion of the death
of common friend, said:
81 cannot but look upon our friends
death as happy one. But our liturgy
enjoins us to pray to be delivered from
sudden death. For my part it is one that
l should pray for"
Among those present was the Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage, of Brooklyn, and he
was asked for his opinion ON the subject.
The great pulpit orator seemed buried in
thought for moment, and then began;
SIN my opinion men should leave the
question as to how death should come to
them to the Master of life and death. He
is the best judge, as he is the supreme
dictator in those matters. 1t is common
thing to hear men say that they wish for
a sudden and unexpected death. 1t is
common thing for men and women to
dread lest they should before death suffer
protracted pain, or extended illness, or
poverty when i'll. All these are natural
feelings. 1t is also common, find, for
many persons to wish that they may not
be suddenly met by death in the public
service or in private. They will meet
sickness or privation with patience if
they but know that they will be apprised
when the end is to come. l can under
stand that there are reasons for this.
Many men, knowing that they must die,
wish to die with their loved ones about
them, with the knowledge that their
earthly affairs are in order, and that they
are fully prepared to meet their Divine
Master.
"There is beauty in the Christian death
wherever it is met. 1t may be in a man
sion or hovel. II may be on the battle
field, in the recesses of a mine, in the
public street, or any other circumstance.
1t is all the same.
''For myself, continued DR.. Talmage,
~ can only say have no desire to dictate
the time or manner of my death. 1t is
for the Master to call and for me to an
swer when the call is made. 1t is not my
place to question. am satisfied to leave
life and death to the higher power that
controls them. OF course in this speak
for myself. That men do wish that when
death shall come it shall come suddenly
! know, and that other men have alto
gether different ideas | also know. Death
is much and variously discussed. Meet it
when and how and where the Master Or
ders we must. Meet it as Christians can
we should. And then we need not fear. !"

| You ought to be ashamed of yo'seY to

You ought to be ashamed of yo'se'f to
make fun of me thater way"
"I want maxim fun of you. Ho, if 1
was ter ketch anybody maxim fun of
YOU it wouldn't be good for him."
"What would you do?"
"Id whale him."
@You air awful brave, amt you?"
"Never mind whut am; know that
if any man was to make fun of you he'd
have me to whup."
A number of people have stopped at
Uncle Johns house. They sit in the
large passageway running between the
two sections of the log building, and
the men, who have not heard the SER
mon, discuss it with the women who
were compelled to hear it from halting
start to excited finish. The sun is blaz-
ing out in tho fields and the Junebugs
are buzzing in the yard. 1t is indeed a
day of rest for the young and old, but
Does that woman, with flushed face,
running from the kitchen to the dining
room and then to the spring house for
the crock jar of milk, appear to be rest
ing? Do the young men and women
that are lolling in the passage realize
that they are making slave of her?
Probably not, for she assures them that
it is not a bit of trouble, yet when night
comes-when the company Is gone
she sinks down, almost afraid to wish
that Sunday might never come again,
yet knowing that it is the day of her
heavy bondage. Old labor has been
soothed and young love has been
encouraged, but her trials and anxieties
have been more than doubled.
1t is night and the boy sits in the
door, taking off his shoes. Tomorrow
he must go into the hot field. but he
does not think of that. His soul is full
of a buoyant love-buoyant for the girl
with the gaudy ribbon has promised to
be his wife.

Time and experience test all things, and both
have demonstrated that the merits of DR.. To-
bias's Venetian Lniment more than warrant
any claims which have been made In It's favor:
Upward of forty years it has stood the test OF
public trial and comes forth that searching or
deal the standard pain conqueror OF the age
Physicians of every school have recognized
its power, and recommended its use in their
practise
Truly it can lie said of this peerless remedy
that "it has been tried and not found want
ing" for it has always been warranted to give
perfect satisfaction or the money refunded,yet
such demand has never been made.
A record indeed the proprietor may justly be
proud of.
Dr. Tobias's Venetian Horse Liniment and
Derby Condition Powders for veterinary pur-
poses are also declared to be unsurpassed for
efficiency and beneficial effect.

their superiority.

Senator ingalls, First Fee.

Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, studied law
In Massachusetts, and as soon as he was
admitted to the bar started to Kansas
with $40 in his inside pocket. He opened
an office near Atchison. His law library
was made up of three books and the
whole of his furniture was chair and a
table. His first client was carpenter
and his fee was paid in kind. He got a
table and high desk for his legal SER
vices, and this desk painted green is kept
in the Ingalls, family to-day as one of its
most precious pieces of furniture. 1t be-
longs to Ingalls, son, Ellsworth, who car
ried it with him to college, and who
probably now uses it as q part of his
office furniture in the starting of his law
practice. : Chicago Post.

The Colossus of Rhodes Myth.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Graphic writes: ''It will distress the lover
of legends to hear that M. Bartholdi and
NJ. Eiffel, after very careful calculation,
have come to the conclusion that the
Colossus of Rhodes, such as is described
to us in ancient history, could not posi-
bly, have existed, for technical reasons.
M. Eiffel has worked the whole thing out
most carefully, and, for the satisfaction
of his friend Bartholdi, has proved as con-
clusively as modern science can prove it
that the story about the Colossus is as
mythical as the legends about Hercules" F"
