All-Night Dental Parlors.

A new wrinkle for drawing custom is
the keeping open OF dental establish
ments all night for the accommodation
of those who have to work all day and
can not afford to lose time by spending
it in dentists cnair. The idea is a
practical success. The first week shows
patronage almost if not quite as large
as during the day. Operators say they
can do just as good work by the aid of
an incandescent light as by the light OF
the sun, and that the quiet of tire
streets by night has soothing effect
on the nerves, which are not so sensi.
tive to pain as when tensely strung by
day and by the excitement of daylight
surroundings. All-night dental par.
lors seem to have come in obedience to
popular demand, and it looks as if
they might become as common as the
all-night restaurant or as is the work oi
building by incandescent light-N. Y.

A JEWISH PRAYER.
One That IL Heard Daily at the Jews
Wailing Place In Jerusalem.

One That ~ Heard Daily Mt the Jews
Waling Place In Jerusalem.
The Jews themselves believe that Pal
estine will again come into their hands.
They thus read the promises of the
Bible, and there are thousands OF Jews OF
Jerusalem who have come here to wait
the day when the Lord will descend to
earth and take His chosen people out of
the hands of the Turks and again build
up their city. Upon the ruins of Solo
mons Temple now stands the great
Mosque of Omar, which is to the
Mahomedans the holiest place outside
of Mecca A great wall OF stone sur
rounds this temple plateau, and this
wall is believed by antiquarians to
have been part of the old temple wall.
Inside of this wall jew can never
come. and though it be the holiest of
holy places to him, he can never
look upon it. Turks in uni
form guard the gates, and l
only secured admission through letter
to the Sultan's Governor of Jerusalem,
who sent me with guard of Turkish
soldiers to go through. 1t is the custom
! of the Jews, however, to 60 on certain
days of every week to q place outside
this wall, and there, leaning with their
heads against the stone, they wall over
the loss of Jerusalem, and pray God to
give back tho land to His chosen people
This is known as the Jews wailing
place, and when | visited 1T / found
about fifty men in long gowns, and
like number of Jewish women with
shawls over their heads, weeping and
praying. Many of them had white
boards, and the curly locks in front of
their ears were of spun silver. Others
had boys with them. Some were in their
prime, and the tears-genuine tears
ran down the faces of all, and some of
them were convulsed with sobbing as
they leaned there and prayed. The
wailing of one old Jewish woman rings
in my ears to this day, and the whole
cut an impression into my mind that
can never be effaced. Each of these
persons had well-thumbed Hebrew
Bible in his hand, and from time to
time the party broke out into sort of
chant, in which an old patriarch led,
and in which the others joined. This
chant was one of mourning over Jerusa-
lem. 1t walled over the great Jews
who were dead, and for the temple that
was in the hands of the heather. AS
it reached its end the feeling of the
mourners seemed to be more intense.
The tears flowed faster. The women
kissed the stones of Solomon's s
Temple, and the men threw their
hands against them In frenzy OF
feeling took seat on stone at one
end of the wailing place and watched
with wonder these people wailing for
their nation. asked for q translation
of one of these chants, and from it
take the following, which shows better
than any thing else the feeling that the
Russian Jews have in going to Jeru
salem and which might be called the
prayer which is uppermost in every
Jewish heart the world over. 1t is:
"We pray Thee have mercy on Zion
Lord, gather the children of Jerusalem
together May the Kingdom soon re
turn to Zion. Comfort those who mourn
over Jerusalem, and may the branch o
Jesse spring up in it, and peace and JOY
abide with Zion."-Frank +. Carpenter

It's never trouble trouble,
Until trouble troubles you.
Perhaps you think this motto
Intended for the few,

Far different from you;

Until trouble troubles you.
Those troubles in the distance
Though looking dark and blue,

So troubles In the distance
