Site of the Sepulcher.

In letter just received by the
State Department, Consul Merrill at
Jerusalem says many modern scholars
in the department of Palestinian
archaeology, having abandonded as
untenable the traditional site of the
Holy Sepulcher as the place of the
crucitixion and burial of our Lord,
have fixed upon the hill above Jere-
miah's Grotto, 300 yards north of the
Damascus Gate, as the site of the
crucitlxion. Adjoining this hill,
which is covered with Mohammedan
graves, is large garden controlling
the face Of the HILL which is rock, for
$50 yards. Excavations at different
times Ia this garden have shown that
six or more feet below the surface of
the ground there exist interesting
ruins, and in the rock itself there is
remarkable tomb, which has recently
attracted much attention. An effort
has been made the past year to pur-
chase this garden, with its appurte-
nances, place 1t in the hands of a
general committee, so that it should
not be in the control of any particu-
lar religious sect, have excavations
made, and everything that might be
found preserved and exposed for the
benefit of all who take an interest in
such matters. The negotiations were,
1t was thought, successful and the
money ready to be. paid, but very
recently there has come hitch Of
some kind, so that after all the prof.
ect may fail.

Nothing Like a Good Old Mother"

An English paper tells a story of a
well-known bishop who suffers from
impaired vision. He recently held a
levee. At length guest approached
and said: How do you do, my lord?
My mother wishes to be kindly re-
membered to you" "Ah," said the
bishop, that is very good of her.
And how is the dear old soul? Moth
ing like a good old mother! Be sure
to take care of your old mother.
Good-morning." The bishop did not
in the least know who his visitor was,
and said to his footman, "Who was
that" The servant replied, ~The
last gentleman who left your lord
ships reception is the Duke OF Con-
naught."

Attacked by Ducks.

The captain Of steam tug, which
lately reached Philadelphia from
Boston, says that in Vineyard Sound
during a tremendous storm, the
vessel was attacked by an immense
flock of wild ducks, which had appar-
emily been blown off the land by the
wind. They fought desperately
against the side of the tugs house,
and the electric light at the mast
head, which seemed to be the object
that had attracted them. The mate,
who yentured on deck was knocked
fiat by a duck that flew directly
against his breast Fully fifty OF the
ducks were caught.

enemies of the grasshoppers. In
parts of The West and South, where
telegraph lines pass through miles of
treeless Liains and savannas, these

Cold in the South.

The southern hemisphere is cooler than
the northern hemisphere, or rather the
summers are much colder aad the winters

that at the north pole much of the Ice

at the south pole. there being very little
