Among the Roses,

j. b. Smith, entomologist at the New
Jersey experiment station, reports that
the different experiments prove that
water at 1856 degrees will kill rose bugs
instantly, He has tried arsenites, cop
per mixtures, pyrethrum, kerosene,
lime, tobacco, acetic acid, qnassia, digi-
tails, corrosive sublimate, muriate Of
ammonia, alum, kainit and cyanide Of
potassium, and they were practically
useless on this obstinate insect.
With new roses from Europe are num-
bered the Clio, a hybrid remontant,
which last season was awarded two first
class certificates and one award Of merit,
and tea rose nsmed Cprinna. which re-
ceived the first prize as the best Seeding
rose at ths International horticultural
exhibition.

Roses are usually budded, on stock
known to the trade as the Maneth, which
is strong, vigorous and healthy grower.
If those who have these budded roses
understand the management, they are far
superior than when growing on their
own roots. The ohief care required is to
see that no suckers or sprouts are ever
allowed to come out from tho stock.
Where these are permitted the grated
portion soon dies. Those who can give
grated roses their proper care do well
to plant them. Those who cannot do so,
but trust to others. had better have
roses on their own roots, says Meehan
in his monthly.

child and his mother and flee into
Egypt, to escape the murderous wrath
of Herod. Further along is shown the
altar of Esubeis, and near by the cell
of st. Jerome, where he studied and
translated the Bible into Latin.
Going out of the cave and up through
che church we reach, near the walls of
the Armenian and Greek cloisters, a
cave called the Milk Grotto, which is
the center of number of legends con-
nected with the Holy Family, the best
known and most widely spread OF
which is that in this place few drops
of the milk of Mary fell upon the rock,
which impaired a peculiar milk color to
1t, and, according to the popular belief,
when the pulverized rock was dissolved
in water and drank it gave to women
and cows the ability rapidly to produce
milk. The pulverized stone of the grotto
was, accordingly, quite an article OF
trade.
From the Milk Grotto we reach the
place of the shepherds, according to
tradition the place where the angels APP
peared to the shepherds announcing the
birth of the Saviour. This is also a cave,
near little village, called Bet Sahur.
Over this spot was formally the church Of
Gloria d, EDceIsts, to commemorate the
angel song and the announcement to

and read up the great events connected
with Bethlehem. We read of Boaz and
Ruth, that marvelously beautiful story
which conferred in Bethlehem. We
read of David's early years in this place
as the shepherd of his fathers sheep.
Here he was anointed by Samuel, and
here his memory turned fondly, back,
revisiting these hillsides. Here was the
spring of Bethlehem, whose water he
longed for. Above all here was born
Jesus, the great Son of David, the
Saviour of men. Here, on these very hill
sides on which we are gazing, nearly
two thousand years ago shepherds were
pasturing their focks when the glory
of the Lord shone around them.
just before us on these fields were
two shepherds with their focks. We
walk toward them and take snap shot
with the camera, and now before me is
this picture Of the Bethlehem fields and
the shepherds, recalling wildly that
wonderful afternoon. Here, too, are
flowers plucked at the time, and here is
head of wheat from the fields where
Ruth CLEANED after the reapers of Boaz.
But notice these sheep. They are very
different from an American sheep.
They belong to the broad-tailed variety,
which has been cultivated in the Orient
for several thousand years, at least as
far back as the time of Aristotle. The
tail is very heavy, weighing sometimes,
in extra fatted sheep, nearly one-third
the whole weight of the animal.

sidered at the time an egregious yarn,

derful reservoirs called Solomon's
pools. They are three in number, each
on lower level than the other. The.
largest is over six hundred feet in
length and holding water enough to
float the largest ocean liner. They
were designed to carry water to Jeru-
salem. They contain now but little
water, yet IN their decay are wonder
full structures. A few miles beyond
these pools the sight of Bethlehem,
mass of stone houses on hill side, burst
upon our view.
AS we rode along we could see the
vineyards, each with its square stone
watch tower. Here and there were
shepherd boys tending their hocks Of
sheep or goats. One of these boys
was playing on his shepherds pipe-a
fne-loo6ing little fellow clad in his
coarse goat-hair clothing. Some one
cried out: s'Loolk, there's David taking
care of his sheep" We noticed that the
hills were very stony, but the valley
was apparently quite fertile, as excel
lent wheat was growing.
To one side of the town is the Church
Of the Nativity" an interesting old
structure. This church, called also the
Church OF the Virgin Mary, is built over
a cave, which a tradition reaching back
to the seventh century describes as the
stable where Mary brought forth her
Son, the infant Jesus. It is well known
that Constantine had built over this
grotto fine church, and that Justinian
replaced this with building which sur
passed in splendor all the churches Of
Jerusalem. Perhaps it was this church
of Justinian that the crusaders found
when they entered Bethlehem In 1890.
Baldwin was in 1101 crowned king of
Jerusalem in this church. The church
has, however, been much changed since
then. having in the last forty years nm
dergone complete restoration.
Down under the main floor is the
crypt, which is evidently a natural
cave. Here is shown the chapel of the
Nativity, whose walls are cased with
marble. In q niche lighted by fifteen
silver lamps we notice, let into the
rock. silver star, around which is the
inscription in Latin: "Here Jesus Christ
was born Of Mary the Virgin" We de-
scend few steps and come to another
chapel. in which a marble Manager is

thority and printed in cold type. did
not, however, see any sheep with this
wheel attachment.
As town Bethlehem is one Of the
cleanest In Palestine, which is not say
ing much, where the rule is excessive
filth. It Is a Christian town, the popu-
lation being composed mostly of Greek
and Latin Christians. They cultivate
bees extensively and many houses have
apiaries on their fat roofs. But by far
the industry of Bethlehem Is the max
ing Of trinkets for tourists outof mother
of-pearl, Dead sea stone and olive wood.
You may see the worasmen in their tiny
shops, cutting and carving and polish
ing. Napkin rings, paper knives, book
racks, tables and host Of fancy arti-
cles are produced which are sent over
the world from this little town. The
Bethlehem women are better looking
than in most Syrian towns, and the
children seem brighter. Even degen-
crate form of Christianity makes q
marked contrast in the people as COM
pared with the dreadful blight Of Mo-
hammedanism upon women and their
families.
While you are disguised with the
fanciful traditions which cling to these
places, yet you recover yourself when
you remember that this Is the toscas, the
very place, the city of David and the
city of our Lord. These hills are the
same as when the shepherds WATCHED
their focks by night.

of the town came in, having lot of

merchant took them out to sell them at

they had been placed upon the manger.

Six miles south of Jerusalem, among
the hills, lies the little town which has
focused upon it the thought of the
Christian world. The story of the
wise men, the star and the child, will
never grow old. To few places among
the holy hills approaches the traveller
with greater anticipation than to Beth
lehem. A beautiful road has been
constructed from Hebron to Jerusalem
passing through Bethlehem. A bright
morning last April found our party of
six cantering along this road. We had
come up from the south over the great
Philistine plain, and up the wild glens
and among the terraced hills of Judea
to old Hebron. Between Hebron and
Bethlehem we came across those won
