Israel Returning.

There are now over 100000 Jews in
the Holy Land The Jewish popula-
ton there at present is larger than it
has been at any other time since the
end of the first century of the Christian
era. Nearly four-fiiths of them all have
gone thither from other counties within
the past few years, and they have been
going thither this year more steadily
than ever before. In former times only
q small number of Jews were permitted
10 ike in the country. but the restric-
tons upon their settlement in ii and
upon their ownership Of land have been
removed and they are now at liberty
to repeople it and take possession Of it..
The number OF Jews who have returned
10 Palestine during the dozen years in
which they have been free to enter has
been greater than the number who re-
turned after the Babylonian captivity
"a centuries ago.
In the city of Jerusalem itself. ac-
cording to a report of the British consul
there, the Jewish population is now
fully 10000 and a large part of the
real estate in and around the city is in
Jewish hands. The number OF syna-
gogues schools of learning, hospitals,
and other public institutions is con-
stantly increasing the water supply
has been improved new streets have
been opened beyond the walls tele-
graphs and electric lights have been in
troduced : several factories have been
set up, and the new railway to Jaffa
has already stimulated the activity of
the population in various ways. Pal
estine will soon be ready for the Jewish
race says the Rev. DR. Kelt, of the
Episcopal Church of Jerusalem, in
letter to the London Times.
The report from the northern parts
of Palestine are favorable There is
activity at Acre and along the route to
Damascus. The wheat raisers there
are rejoicing in the prospect of finding
markets for their crops so are the
raisers of olives and other fruits. The
soil in that region is well adapted to
the growth Of cotton.
\ number of important public works
have been undertaken in various parts
of the country between the river Jor
don and the Mediterranean and we
hear of yet other projects in which the
Hebrew capitalists of England and
France are prepared to invest all the
money that may be needed.
1t will undoubtedly take long time
to regenerate Palestine; but we infer
from the news received from Jerusalem
that the work of regeneration has been
begun. 1t must take a good many
years to give the predominance to the
Jewish element in Palestine but if the
number of Jews there should increase
for the next ten years at the rate at
which it has increased during the past
ten years the Jewish population in the
Holy Land will run over million
very soon after the opening of the
twentieth century.
The shutting out from this country
Of the Jewish as well as other European
immigrants has already had an infiu-
ence upon the Palestinian movement

moned to take up the march and follow the army toward James river.
 The Fifth, alasl didn't all march back, and those who did went Inder protest. de- claring that they had held their ground and won the day. The regiment was 40C strong when it charged, and 72 dead, with l3l wounded, was the price of it's daring. The heaviest loss occurred in front of Capt. Del Kemper's Virginia battery. Two companies, E and II, that were al most at the mouths of Xemper's guns, lost % men at one discharge, and the bodies lay on the field in perfect line as though sleeping on their arms. In Company F. 49 out of 56 were struck down, 9 of them killed.
 Four brothers-Hiram, Silas, William and Edward Cummings-their cousin, w. II. Cummings, and brother-in-law, Horace Clayton, lay among the dead, and a fifth brother, Henry Cummings. was se- verely wounded. There was an incident for poem or a statue had it but found it's setting on one of the famous battlefields.
 Unlike som. regiments that seem to be marked for deaths own plaything, the Fifth enjoyed a long respite. Not that it was retired from the fighting columns; simply that it did not hit the drawing in another bloody lottery for q time. It charged up the steeps at South Mountain, Maryland, in September, and was at An tietam and fredericksburg. At the second storming of Marye's Heights, in May, 1863, it belonged to the reserve of the Light division in the march against the stone wall of gory memories

A Delicious Fish in the East.

"One of the queerest fishes in the world is tho geuramis," said an ichthyo- logist. "lt is native to the fresh waters of Cochin China, Farther India, Java, Sumatra Gna Borreo. Specimens have been known to attain length of six feet and weight of 110 pounds. The flesh is SO delicious that efforts have been made to acclimatize the creatures in many other countries. but thus far these attempts have been successful only on the island of Mauritius.
 About thirty of them were imported into the island of Cuba and planted in ponds some years ago, but. although they grew and were healthy, they did not breed. Accordingly, after awhile the prospects of propagatinS the species became so hopeless that the governor had them served up one by one upon his table upon state occasions. The same difficulty has been met with elsewhere. Washington Star.

The Ingredient. of rir.,or,,.

The chief constituents cf all fireworks are gunpowder and its ingredients. Iron and steel filings and castiron bor- ings, free from rust. are used to in- crease the brightness of the display and produce the Chinese fire. When the rocket explodes up in the air the bright and varicolored sparks are produced by these filings as they ignite in the oxygen.
 Copper filings and copper salts are used to produce greenish tints. A fine blue is made with zinc filings. A light greenish tint with much smoke is made out of sulphuret of antimony. Amber, resin and common salt protected from dampness produce yellow fire. Salts of strontia make red light. A green light is also made by the salts of bari um.-New York Evening Sun.

The trap was tied with fifteen feet of rope. and in his desperate attempts to fly away with it the owl had knocked several rails of the fence. Mir.
