they simply and silently and patiently
wait. The Wa,ling Wall of the jews,
so wonderfully painted by Verestcha-
gin, is, perhaps, the most realistic
sight in Jerusalem to-day. In small,
paved, oblong, unroofed enclosure,
some seventy-tive by twenty feet in
extent, and in most inaccessiblePor-
ton of the town, is the mass Of ancient
masonry which is generally accepted
as having been portion of the out
side of the actual wall of the Temple
itself. Against these rough stones
every day of the week, but especially
on Friday, and at all times OF the day,
are seen Hebrews of all countries, and
of all ages of both sexes, rich and poor
alike, weeping and bewailing the desc
lation which has come upon them, and
upon the city OF their former glory.
Whatever may be their faith, it is
beautiful and sincere; and their grief
is actual and without dissimulation.
They kiss the walls, and beat their
breasts, and tear their hair, and rend
their garments; and the real tears
they shed come from their hearts and
their souls, as well as from their eyes.
They ask for no backsheesh; inquisi'
tive heretics and Gentiles pity
while they wonder at them. They
read the lamentations of jeremiah and
the mournful words of Isaiah; they
wall for the days that are gone; and
they pray to the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, aud the Gcd OF Jacob,
that they may get their own again.

Mr.. de Gueryille, who had tra7eled

Chinese fashion, and among tho red
and yellow screens, hangings, vases
and idols Chinchi felt at home. On
her journey, however, she had con-
tracted a cold, which developed into a
serious attack of the grip. Her mas

needed woman's care and sent her to
the house OF friend in West Seventy

Chinchi is ten inches long and short

There are. of course, many pretty

who do not care to confine the dresses
to severe simplicity. One illustrated
in the large cut is OF printed duck

the long, full sleeves are finished with

white, and folds of tho same material
start from the nrmholes and are caught

finished, and frills of lace drape the

The short French skirt, falling just

Greencastle, Ind. So does William
Fisher; and so does hog, valued at
81, owned by Crowder. One day
Crowder let his hog out. Almost
simultaneously Fisher left the gate
of nice new hogpen on his place
open. AS it was the hogs day off it
determined to see all that was to be
seen and so it strayed into Fishers
hogpen. Just afterward Fisher de-
cided to close his pen, which he did,
remarking: "Great Scott, I've gotta
hog! Well, fndin's is keepin's
Pretty soon Crowder demanded his
hog. Fisher replied: II amt got
yer hog" and the hog, with that in
gratitude characteristic Of his spe-
cies, grunted approval. Then
Crowder went to law; but the jury
was hung. Costs on Crowder, SS9;
Nothing daunted he brought suit
again. Several lawyers and about a
hundred witnesses on both sides;
also humping big costs. The trial
lasted three days. Finally the. jury
brought in verdict OF one cent and
the hog for Crowder. Fisher and his
friends are mad; so also are Crowdet
and his friends. The only being that
seems to be contented is the hog.

Vile told the Chinese photographer
to take snap shot of the scene. The
picture which appeared in the Lon
don Graphic, is reproduced here.
Field Marshal Oyama, however, had
no time for sentiment; he wanted q
telescope for watching the maneuvers
of the Chinese fleet erected near the
spot, where the dead officer and his
faithful little dog lay, and ordered a
couple OF coolies to remove the corpse.
One of the coolies grabbed the dead
mans arm and Chinchi caught him
savagely by the leg. He kicked her
away and drew his sword to kill her.
At this moment Mr.. de Guerville
thrust the coolie aside und snapped up
the dog. She snapped at his hands
and walled as though she were heart
broken. He wrapped her in his coat
and gave her to his japanese servant.
When Mr.. de Guervillc got back to
his tent that evening he found his
Japanese servant and the small dog.
1t was long time before lie could
make friends with her. She mourne't
for her dead master and refused to be
comforted. Finally he persuaded her
to drink little milk, but it was a
month before she was over her fear OF
the "white devil" She had never seen
a foreigner before. She didn't know
what to make of Il man without pig
tail, who wore breeches instead OF
petticoats and after they got n bit bet
ter acquainted she used to sit and
watch him by the hour, with mixture
OF friendIiness and contempt. They
went back to Japan together on one
of the troop ships. She had been
named Chinchi, which in Chinese
means Faithful. She readily learned
her name.
On the troop ship was Il great deal
of the loot OF Port Arthur, including

Field Marshal Oyama had just ordered

respondent followed. As they moved
forward and took position on the
crest of q hill, overlooking Port Ar
thur, they saw man lying on his side
in little hollow of the hill. His
head had been crushed in, and he had
evidently been dead for many hours.
They knew him for q Chinese soldier
in spite cf the fact that he wore civil
ian clothes.
sThe Chinese officers and men
alike" explained Mr.. de Guerville,
''threw away their uniforms and weap-
ons when defeated" ;"
The dead Chinaman had probably
been an officer, or at all events, au
official of some rank. Just behind
where he lay was a tent, which had
been looted.
Nestled up against his breast, in q
fold of his dead arm, lay the little
dog. She looked up and growled as
they approached.

With the Caravan.

In the sandy deserts of the north
of Africa, where journeys are made
so much by night, the feeling OF mel
ancholy is often found to prevail.
On horseback or by mail cart, on the
long, straight tracks through the
sand, one seems to be perpetually
following some star in the heavens,
to which one gets no nearer. If one
stops to rest no sound falls upon the
ear save perhaps, the groans of
camel being loaded for the night
march or the creak of Persian
wheel raising the water on the rivers
brink.
1t is q relief to pass the strings Of
camels bearing their rich burdens Of
silk, asafetida and grapes from dis
tant Cabul to the Indian cities Of
the plains. In q long string, led by
the bearded and travel stained driver,
who is we'll fortified by opium for
the weary and mountainous journey,
they emerge suddenly and silently,
like phantoms from the nocturnal
gloom, and gliding noislessly by
quickly disappear again.

JERUSALEM.
A CITY INTERESTING APART
FROM SACRED ASSOCIATIONS.
a Place Of Surprises-No One Sings
and No One Laughs-Even tho
Children Do Not Play
The Wailing Wall.

THE altitude of Jerusalem is al.

who comes here for the first
time, says an article on ''The
Literary Landmarks of Jerusalem" by
Laurence Hutton, in Harper's Alagc.
zine.
He knows, of course, that it is a
mountain city, and that il was built
upon Mount Zion and Mount Nloriah;
but he does not realize, until he makes
the gradual ascent, that it is about
1900 feet above the level of the Med
iterranean, and nearly 1000 feet above
the surface OF the Dead Sen. As high
on the one side as the Catskiil Noun
tain House; as high on the other as
the crater of Mount Vesuvius.
Jerusalem is city of surprises. Il
is, apart from its sacred associations,
an intensely interesting spot even to
travellers who are already saturated
with the hitherto unfamiliar and sur
prising charms OF Cairo, Athens and
Constantinople. It's size can bes5 be
expressed by the statement that the
journey round about the outside of it's
walls may be made by an ordinarily
rapid walker in the space OF an hour.
Its houses are small, irregular in
shape, squalid and mean. its streets,
if streets they can be called, are not
named or numbered; they are steep,
crooked, narrow, roughly paved, never
cleaned, and in many in stances they
are vaulted over by the buildings on
each side of them. Never pair ol
wheels traverse them, and rarely is O
horse or donkey seen within tine
walls. The halt, the MANNED and the
blind, the leprous and the wretchedly
poor, form the great bulk OF the pop
ulaton of Jerusalem, and with the
single exception of The Hebrews, they
are persistent and clamorous beggars.
Trade and commerce seem to be con-
fined to the bare necessities Of life,
and to dealers in beads and cruciGxes.
There is but one hotel, and that not a
good hotel, within it's walls; and one
Turkish merchant, who displays in his
little windowless, doorless shop small
assortment of silver charms, trinkets
and bric.a-brac to the gaze of the
passer-by, is almost the only vender
of anything like luxuries in the place.
His custc pers, of course, are the pill
grims who come to see, and not to
worship.
Jerusalem is unique as city in
which everything is sserious and solemn
and severe. It has no clubs, no bar
rooms, no beer gardens, no concert
halls, no theatres, no lecture rooms,
no places of amusement of any kind,
DO street bands, no wandering min.

Mr.. de Guerville thought he would
keep the dog, but promised, if Chin

And so Chinchi came to America.
By the time she reached Vancouver
she was on terms of intimacy with the
"white devils, and did OF mind them
much, but when she got to the hotel
negro porter, black as the ace of
spades, suddenly appeared in her room.
Chinchi nearly had a fit. Life was be-
coming altogether too cosmopolitan
for her. What with "white devils"
md "black devils" she didn't know
what to make of it.
The day before they left Vancouver
she and her new master went out for
walk. All of q sudden Chiuchi set up
q wild yell and vanished round cor
ner. Mr.. de Guerville followed and
saw her cutting along the street, her
squirrel tail waving in the wind, while
far ahead battered q little, long
queued Chinaman in purple blouse.
When she got near the Chinaman
turned and faced her. She looked ut
him for moment and then, bowling
dismally, ran back to her new master.
