A historic movement has been proceed
ing SO quietly for the past ten years that
Jew have noticed it at all. This is the
return of the Jews to Palestine So
many have gone thither that it begins to
look almost as if the Bible prophecy
were to be fulfilled. The ancient land
now contains more than 100000 of the
chosen people. One of the first effects
of this movement is an upward tendency
in the Jerusalem real estate market. The
country is being irrigated and cultivated
waterworks of an improved pattern are
being constructed, and electric lights of
the Yankee type are already Pickering
from the street corners of the Holy City
Railways will soon crisscross Palestine
like spider webs, and the improved sys-
tenn of agriculture which the wide
awake Israeite immigrants have already
introduced will give them business
There is no more hopeful sign on the
whole horizon of civilization than this
new movement of the Jews to Palestine

1t has been proved by actual trial that
storage battery street car holding
seventy passengers can travel thirty
miles at the rate of six miles an hour,
making stoppages, rounding curves and
climbing hills, without recharging of
batteries. This was done at Milford,
Mass. The storage battery car costs no
more than the horse car. In cities where
the trolley overhead wire is objection
able it is a satisfactioa to find that the
storage battery car will do the work.

which we have related SO dark tale.
Never afterward did it quit her bosom.
But, in the lapse of the toilsome,
thoughtful and self devoted years that
made up Testers life, the scarlet letter
ceased to be a stigma which attracted
the worlds scorn and bitterness, and be-
came type of something to be sorrowed
over and looked upon with awe, yet
with reverence too. And as Hester
Prynne had no selfish ends, nor lived in
any measure for her own profit and en-
joyment, people brought all their sor-
rows and perplexities, and besought her
counsel, as one who had gone through q
mighty trouble.
Women, more especially, in the con-
tinually recurring trials of wounded,
wasted, wronged, misplaced or erring
and sinful passion, or with the dreary
burden of heart unyielded, because
unvalued and unsought, came 70 Hes
ter's cottage, demanding why they were
30 wretched, and what the remedy. Hes
ter comforted and counseled them as
best she might. She assured them, too.
Of her firm belief that at some brighter
period, when the world should have
grown ripe for it, in heavens own time
a new truth would be revealed in order
to establish the whole relation between
man and woman on q surer ground of
mutual happiness.
Earlier in life Hester had vainly i'm
agined that she herself might be the
destined prophecies, but had long since
recognized the impossibility that any
mission of divine and mysterious truth
should be confided to a woman stained
with sin, bowed down with shame, or
even burdened with a lifelong SORROW.
The angel and apostle Of the coming
revelation must be a woman, indeed.
but lofty, pure and beautiful; and wise,
moreover. not through dusky grief, but
the ethereal medium of joy, and show
ing how sacred love should make us
happy by the truest test Of a life sue
cessful to such an end.
So said Hester Prynne, and glanced
her sad eyes downward at the scarlet
letter. And after many, many years a
new grave was delved near an old and
sunken one in that burial ground beside
which Kings chapel has since been
built. 1t was near that old and sunken
grave, yet with space between, as If
the dust of the two sleepers had no right
to mingle. Yet one tombstone served
for both. All around there were monu-
ments carved with armorial bearings.
and on this simple slab of slate, as the
curious investigator may still discern
and perplex himself with the purport.
there appeared the scmblance of an en-
graved escutcheon. 1t bore a device, a
heralds wording Of which might serve
for motto and brief description of our
now concluded legend. NO somber is it
and relieved only by one everglowing
point of light gloomier than the shadow:
ION field, sable, the letter A, gules.'

The Safest Of salt Lakes.

A lake with salt roof isn't frozen
salt, and it isn't underground. On the
contrary, this remarkable lake may be
seen at any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at its best when the
sun is shining directly upon it. This
wonderful body of water is one of the
safest of the salt lakes, and is situated
near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake is nine
miles wide and seventeen long, and
within the memory of man was not en-
tirely rooted over by the salt deposit.
Originally evaporation played the most
prominent part in coating the lake over
with salt, but at the present time the
salt springs which surround it are add
ing fast to the thickness of the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation Of
the lakes waters left great salt crystals
floating on the surface. In course Of
time these caked together. Thus the
waters We're finally entirely covered. In
1878 the lake found an underground out
let into the River Obi, which lowered
its surface about three feet. The salt
crust was so thick, however, that it re-
tanned its old level, and now presents
the curious spectacle of a salt rooted
lake. The salt coat increases six inches
in thickness every year. The many is
lands with which the lake is studded are
said TO act as braces and to help keep
the arched salt crust in position.

A Leaky Sausage Apparatus.

A little lady walked into a butcher
shop and asked for two pounds of beef
steak. When it had been weighed she
told the butcher to put it in the mincing
machine and chop it up so that she could
make meat balls out of it for dinner.
The meat expert, quite an ordinary
looking man, entirely unsuited to be the
hero of story like this, followed the
instructions, minced the meat and hand
ed it in paper to the customer. Then
he turned in his matter of fact way to
attend to a man new to housekeeping
who was inquiring if he had any nice
mutton steak. and if SO how much it
was yard.
The little lady looked at the minced
meat and asked the butcher to weigh it
again. He did so, and there was just
Ia pounds.
''There!" said the little lady indig-
nantly. "Your sausage machine has
stolen quarter of pound of my steak.
I've suspected that machine for long
time. You've got to make it good"
~ will not" retorted the butcher.
cts case of natural wear and tear.
Maybe some of the weight of the steak
has vanished in the process to which it
has been subjected, but there's two
pounds of nourishment there"
"The machine either leaks or there's a
secret trap that steals my steak" the
little lady insisted. 81 won't take the
meat till it weighs two pounds"
And she didn't.-New York Herald

$50 in each Congressional Destrict where
the law is put in operation, making the
cost at S. a dap for 60 days equal to $75, 900
in each district to pay assistant supervis-
ors alone. This expenditure, il applied
to say 200 out of the 800 Congressional
Districts, would foot up SIS, OOO, 900 at one
Congressional election. Add the expense
OF an average Of 10 Deputy Marshals at
each voting precinct in POO Congressional
districts, for eight days at So per day,
making further expense of $4,000, 900
in all S35,O00,009 to be taken from the
public treasury at a single election to put
or keep the Republican party in power
against the free will OF majority of the
people. This estimate may seem extrav-
agant. No doubt the execution of the
law would be begun with lighter expense.
But the numbers and wages of the hire
lings would increase from election to
election until even the figures / have
named would not satisfy their greed.
Recollect that it is part of the history
Of our times that the Republican party
in its struggle to perpetuate its power by
controlling the southern Sites, robbed
them of over 5000, 900, 900 through carpet
bag rule. Recollect, too that this same
John /. Davenport in 1878, having only
the opportunities afforded him by the
present milk-and-water Federal election
laws, hired 5000 Deputy Marshals in
New York City alone, and issued 3l06
warrants Of arrest on one election morn
ing, arresting 600 voters, and not one OF
whom was permitted to go to the polls,
only one of whom was arraigned and he
was acquitted. This audacious perfor-
nance was brilliant coup for Davenport,
as it frightened away from the polls sew
eral thousand ignorant and timid but
qualified Democratic voters. 1t instant
ly raised him by merit to his bad emf
nence. 1t proved him master of intim-
idation and bribery. Quay, Dudley,
Hackett and Marin pale before him.
Recollect too, how in the history of the
Roman republic party followers were fed
from the treasures of the republic and
the provinces, growing yearly in numbers
insolence and power, threatening law and
order, unsettling industries and corrupt
ing the virtue which is the life of repub-
lie.
He must be mad partisan or heed
less citizen who, knowing this bill to be
Endorsed by the Republican party and
its candidate for President, will put it in
their power to fasten on the country a
measure so subverse of popular Govern
ment. Had the Republican party re-
tracted its committal to the force bill, or
nominated for President its illustrious
statesman and patriot, James q. Blaine,
who was known to be hostile to the bill,
it might fairly ask the people to trust it
on the other issues, but both its platform
and its candidate have again committed
it to this scheme of supervision of popu-
lar Government. 1t must therefore stand
or fall by the force bill.

An honest Swede tells his story in
plain but unmistakable language for the
benefit OF the public: "One of my
childen took severe cold and got the
Group. ! gave her a teaspoonful OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and in
five minutes later gave her one more.
BY this time she had to cough up the
gathering in her throat. Then she went
to sleep and slept good for fifteen min
utes. Then she got up and vomited !;
then she went back to bed and slept
good for the remainder of the night.
She got the Group the second night and
l gave her the same remedy with the
same good results. write this because
I thought there might be some one in
the same need and not know the true
merits of this wonderful medicine. -
