found that our guide had prepared a
splendid dinner for us. After dinner
came in several vendors of coins and
trinkets. Tourists are the very bread
of many of these people. There is said
to be factory of antiques" here in
Tyre to supply the market, and so skill
full are the limitations that it is difficult
for any except an expert to detect the
fraud.
In some cases rich treasure has been
found as ct Sidon few years ago. This
excited the natives to a high pitch. SO
that many betook themselves to Dig
ging in hopes of making similar find.
Many spend all their time, using all
their magical incantation to discover
if possible the hiding place of the gold
which will suddenly enrich them. Many
coins of the time of Alexander, one of
the later Roman period, may be pur-
chased for from ten to fifty cents apiece.
At six o'clock the next morning, after
sound sleep on the floor in the house
of Thomas" we were in the saddle and
off for forty-mile ride to Mount Car
mel over a rocky road. The first half
Of the road was exceedingly difficult.
We made two remarkable climbs, one
at Ras-el-Abjud and the other at Ras-en-
Nallura. The Arabic word "Ras" sig-
nifies headland. These two headlands
were rocky promontories of limestone
rising ruggedly and steep about thou
sand feet above the sea The first is
called the ladder of Tyre. Here you
can see the Roman road cut in the rock.
Over this road travelled the Roman
armies when they took the coast route.
Passing over Ras-en-Nakura a wonder
full panorama lay before us-the
entire stretch of the coast, with
Mount Carmel standing out boldly in
the distance, and the city of Accho or
Acre, with its cleaning white min
arets, midway. We lunched by the
side of little stream by the village of
E. Bassa. Here we had our first real
quarrel with Abdur, Che Arab. He res
fused to feed the horses-said he had no
barley He swore all the Arabic oaths
in his repertory but finally produced
the grain and sulleply fed the animals.
The mukari, or horseman, must be
watched or he will starve the horses to
put the money in his pocket. At two
o'clock in the afternoon we reached
Acre, with its moats and bastions, re-
minders of the wonderful history of
this city in the wars of the Crusades
and the Syrian campaign of Napoleon.
No city on the coast has had such
long line of sieges and surrenders. The
afternoon was beautiful and the lovely
green outside the city presented a pic
turesque sight with its turbaned and
white-robad Moslems.

Whisk- Broom Holders.

Rip up any old straw hats carefully,
and when the braid is all apart sew
into such shapes as will hold whisk-
broom, the round-and-round style, with
an opening at the bottom of about four
inches. A pretty edge is an addition
and the open Tuscan braid supplies
this When all is done, go over the
surface with sizing of quiclx-drying
varnish. When the varnish is per-
fectly dry, gild the whole affair. Hang
by means of gold and another colored
ribbon that is harmonious in tone or a
pleasing contrast Almost any color,
however, goes we'll with gold, but
green, blue, lavender although this is
not very lasting color and pink are
beautiful with gold. When these are
used, paper or artificial leaves and
flowers may be tied with them, as for
the catchall, and placed upon the front
as an ornament. If the straw be clean
and not discolored it may be left with

used as above, tying them into place

were to make Tyre by night. Our road
was very difficult, most of the way over
stones, part of the time along the beach,
where we enjoyed a gallop now
and then. Wild flowers abounded in
great variety and beauty. We clam
bered over rocky submits and along
the edge of steep precipices, down which
we looked upon the deep blue water
rolling in among the rocks. We forded
four rivers, which were sometimes up
to the horses bellies-the Senik. the
Zaher the Adassije, the Akbije and
the Karamije or Litany
The latter is. next to the Jordan. the
longest river in Palestine, rising far up
in the Lebanon mountains. At Abul-
Aswad we lunched by the side of
picturesque ruin, the single arch of
stone bridge of Roman times These
Roman ruins are very frequent in Pal
estine; many of them are still servicea-
bic, though dilapidated. The old Ro-
man roads are still seen cut into the
solid rock over the mountains. In
sight of our luncheon ground. about
three miles away, perched on the slope
of hill, we could see the village of
Sarafaud, the old Sarepta of Scripture,
celebrated as the residence of the widow
whom the prophet Elijah visited and
whose barrel of meal and cruise OF oil so
wonderfully held out. Beyond Sarepta,
on the shore at Adlun, we discovered
large square holes cut in the rocks at
great height. These are ancient
Phoenician caves, used doubtless for
burial purposes. After fording the
Litany, whose rushing waters nearly
swept down Filippo with our pots and
kettles, we had splendid beach be-
fore us, and made fine run until we
reached the historic city of Tyre, jut-
ting out into the sea. The grave group
of turbaned Moslems who sat smoking
their narghilyehs at the entrance of
the city looked up with amazement as
we came dashing along. A fine-faced
young Syrian, who spoke excellent Eng
lish, met us and volunteered to show
us. the city. We were at first shy of
his services, knowing that such "serv-
ices" usually meant an eXtortionate
demand for 'baclSsheesh"

ners. He proved himself true gentle
man. Under his guidance, after giving
over the horses to Abdur, we surveyed
the ancient city. Can 1t be possible
that we are really in Tyre-on the
spot made memorable in so much re-
markable history? The city juts out in
to the sea. Anciently seaward was an

bridge. Alexander filed up the space
and united the island with the main
land. Here was the manufacture of the
ancient purple from the munex shells
washed up by the sea. Here was the seat

David and Solomon, who sent the great
cedar logs for the temple down by sea
to Joppa. Extending several miles
along the shore and, perhaps, two miles
inland, with her ships covering tb 4
Mediterranean, her merchant princes
renowned throughout the Orient, her
colonies at Cadiz, Carthage and other
points rivaling the mother city, ancient
Tyre was, indeed, splendid center of
Phoenician culture.
In the height of her prosperity the
propfet's"woe"was utteredragainst her.

city is very striking: so thou that

her glory was to fade-kings were to
come up against her, to spoil her mer-
chandise and break down her walls.
She was to become a bare rock on
which fishermen would spread their
nets. Wonderfully has the prophesy
been fulfilled. Nebuchadnezzar with
his chariots and horses overthrew her.
Alexander with his conquering might
mastered her. Her glorious commerce
declined. And now as we walked by

and afterwards spreading it upon the
rock. There" said our Tyrian friend,
''you see for yourself the fulfillment of
prophecy, the fisherman spreading his
net upon the rock ON which Tyre
stood" Further inland are the ruins
of the great church of st. John. where
were placed the remains of Frederic
Barbarossa and of the great Origen.
In the midst of dirt and filth lay
several splendid columns and pilasters
of red granite. About three miles in
land among wild. rocky hills is single
gray sarcophagus followed out so as
just to admit a body. 1t rests upon
rude pedestal of upright unhewn
stones. This is called by the natives
'Kabr Hiram," or the tomb of Hiram.
Another monument of great antiquity
is the celebrated reservoir south of
Tyre, called Ras-eLAin, 1.-THE head OF
the spring" This is the spot to which
medieval tradition attached the visit of
Christ to Tyre. He rested on large
rock and sent Peter and John to bring
him some water thence, which He
drank, and blessed the beautiful spot
whence it came.

why Farmers Should Raise More Mutton
Beef and Pork.


Fat sheep of large size command good
prices. 1t is not easy to secure fat sheep
that present an attractive appearance
on the market stalls, although there are
apparently plenty of sheep offered for
sale. The attention given to wool has
not been conducive to breeding the best
mutton sheep. A ram of the Shrop-
shire, Oxford or Southdown breeds, if
used for grading the flock with the
view of producing choice mutton, will
make a marked Improvement in flock
in single season.
Bacon and pork bring high prices at
present. There should be fair profit
to breeders in the east in producing
pork, especially when the prices are so
good. There is always waste of GER
tain foods that can be well utilized by
swine, and if only one or two pigs are
raised they will pay a profit compared
with other stock. Despite the fact that
the west produces cheap corn and pork
the prices now received for pork are
larger than for many years previously.
Beef cattle should pay as well in the
east as in the west. Food can be pur
chased and converted into manure
while the cattle are growing, and al
though but small profit may be no

been increased in fertility and produc
tiveness. Troy On. " Times.

FEEDING BIG HOGS.
some Valuable Statistics Furnished by
Prof. Henry.

Prof Henry.
Results show that for pig weighing
100 pounds about one and a half of
grain is required for the mere main
tenance of the animal body, writes
Prof. Henry. If, therefore, we bring
to our 100-pound pig each day one and
half pounds of the grain mixture
above mentioned, the animal merely
holds its own weight and makes no
progress, SO that at the close of the day
our pound aud half of feed has dis
appeared, our pig is one day older, but
no heavier in weight, and we have
nothing to show for the food supplied.
The amount of meal required to thus
support the body functions without
permitting the animal to gain in weight
has been designated the food of main
tenance" or "the food of support"
If now we increase the amount Of
food from a pound and half a day,
the food of maintenance, to four and n
half "a day, about all our pig will eat,
he will thrive nicely and make gain
of about one pound day therefrom,
Thus it appears that the three extra
pounds of food which we have given
this pig above the food of support gives
us pound of increase. We may desig-
nate this portion of the ration as 1.-THE
food of increase. When our pig is re-
ceiving four and half pounds of feed
per day and is gaining in weight at
the rate of one pound per day one-third
of what is supplied constitutes the
food of maintenance and two-thirds
the food of increase.
When our 1OO-pound pig has increased
in weight to 200 pounds-the food of
support must also be increased, though
not quite doubled, judging from our in
designations. 1t is somewhat less than
three pounds When our pig has
reached the weight of 500 pounds the
| food of support appeared TO be about
| five pounds, or one pound of food for
each hundred weight of animal carcass.
| The decrease in the amount of the food
of support seems gradual, starting at a
pound and half per hundred with a
1OO-pound pig, and gradually diminishes
until reaching a pound per hundred
with hogs weighing 500 pounds. But
the five pounds of meal required to
support the hog weighing 800 pounds is
half pound more than that which the
same hog required when weighing 100
for both maintenance and increase.
To our 5OO-pound hog we must first
of all supply about five pounds of meal
to support the animal carcass and to
this must add something like three
pounds additional in order to secure
one pound of increase. That is, with
our 5OO-pound hog it takes something
like eight pounds of meal to give re-
turn of one pound of gain in weight
while four and half pounds of the
same were sufficient with the same ami
NAL when it was a 3OO-pound pig.
Evidently from this study there is q
limit to the weight to which hogs car
be proftably fed, even if they can still
make additional gain.
