Dining in Palestine.


4 man just back from the Holy Land
tells Il very interesting story of dining in
Palestine. A very large circular tray Of
timed copper, placed on@a coarse wooden
stool about a foot high, served us a4table.z
i In the center Of this stool another big
tray, with mountain of pilaff, composed
Of rice boiled and buttered, with small
pieces of meat streWn through and upon
it. This was the chief dish, though there
were other similar dishes, both meat and
vegetable. Ten persons sat around tile
table. or rather squatted on the carpet,
with their knees drawn up close to their

some used without the plate. Most, how
ever, preferred to use the. fingers Of the
left hand, several dipping their hands to.
gether into the dish, as the Disciples did
Mt the last supper. As soon us anyone
had finished he rose and went into anoth-
er room to have water poured over his
hands to- wash them, and the vacant
place at he table was instantly filed by

New Use for Utah CLAW.

G. Lavignino,, the American guest Of
the Societe des Anonymo DIES Mines de
Lexington of Paris, France, owner Of
the Old Telegraph mine in Bingham. re-
ceived a consignment of fluid that is
to be the base in a newly-discoyered
process for the manufacture Of dynamite.
The discovery is of Milan origin and Mr..
Lavagnino was informed in the letter
that an agent of the home company
would shortly arrive here to consult with
him in series of tests that are to be
made ut the Old Telegraph smelter on
the Jordan. ~
Mr.. ~LaEignino states the chemists who
first discovered the new process are of
). the belief that some of the u tab Claws
contain the necessary ingredients to mix
with the fluid in order to make the ex-
pertinent success. This conclusion YEAS
reached after samples Of the Utah ma
terial had been sent back to- Paris and
Milan. The experiments there have beer
attended with such satisfactory results
that run on a larger scale is to he
made here where the earths are in
abundance. r Il ~ -. {: 3ays
If this larger experimental run proves 4,
success, it is the opinion of Mr.. Layag-
nino that large works will be erected in
this valley, probably ON the site of the
Old Telegraph smelter, for the manu-
facture of dynamite.-SaltsL Lake Tribune.

A gentleman of Natchez, Miss, Du-

him to be up at the early hour of 5

of having himself called on time every
day. He accomplishes this by training
mocking bird to tap on his window at
the required moment every morning,
and now the songster comes as regular as
clock-work. beating with his bill on the
pane and then setting up the Iveliest
and gayest matin song to- follow, up his
call.
Duson says it required almost no effort
to perfect the bird in it's work, us he had
only to be up at the window and coax
his feathered friend in for few choice
dainties for about a week, when the
training was complete, and now he sleeps
sweetly at night, knowing the call will
surely come on time in the morning. -
