FASHION IN OLD JERUSALEM.
The Jewesses of Ancient Times Were Cor
geously Arrayed Indeed.

The Jewesses of Ancient Times Were Cor
geOusly Arrayed Indeed.
AS far back as seven centuries before
the Christian era there were very gayly
dressed women in Jerusalem The
Prophet Ezekiel tells of them. They had
garments of silk adorned with broidered
work. Their bodies were swathed in fine
linen. They had shoes of badger skin.
They wore ornaments of gold and sill
yer, rings in the ears, bracelets ON the
wrists, chain around the neck, jewel
over the brow and a crown upon the
head.
The prophet speaks of the earrings
which were Worn by the women of Je-
rusalem, but these ornaments were worn
by Jewesses ages before the time of
Ezekiel, even in the days Of Moses and
earlier yet. There were earrings among
the other gifts in the oblation given to
Moses, as described in the book of Mum.
bors. The first Biblical reference to
them is i'll the part of Genesis which
tells how Rebekah obtained as gift
"golden earring of half shekel weight"
from Abraham's servant who "put it
upon her face" At a later period the
patriarch Jacob procured all the ear
rings which belonged to his household
and hid them under an oak tree. Sub
sequently to that time earrings are fire.

Job, the patient man of Uz, must have
owned lot of them in the latter part of
his life, for when all his brethren and
all his sisters and all his acquaintance
came to comfort him under his afflic-
tions "every one of :hem gave him an
earring of gold"
In the yory early periods of Jewish
history women seem to have been as
fond of dress and decorations as they
are in modern times. When the daugh
ters of Jerusalem were appareled and
bejeweled in the way described by
Ezekiel, their garments and ornaments
must have been nearly as expensive as
those of the grand danes who now shine
in society. The wearing Ct "divers col

SELF DEFENSE.
The Law Relating Thereto Laid Down b.
the Supreme Court.

A United States district judge in
Arkansas instructed jury that every
where except within his own house the
.aw requires man to run away and dc
his best to escape from an assailant be-
fore killing him. The judge further
said that when assaulted on his own
premises, but outside of his house, a
man must show his sense of danger by
efforts to escape before his plea that he
killed his assailant to save himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted.
This instruction was handed down
from ancient times when weapons Of
assault consisted of knives, bludgeons,
swords, etc., which an active man had
some chance of escaping But it is not
applicable to these days of revolvers
and winchesters, whose bullets no man
can dodge or outrun, and the United
States supreme court has sent it to the
black letter lumber garret.
The man sentenced to eight years
imprisonment by the Arkansas Judge
obtained from the supreme court an or
der for a new trial under new instruc-
tion. This new instruction declares that
wherever man may be, if he has a
right to be there and if he has not him
self provoked the assault, the law justi-
fies him in standing his ground and
killing his assailant provided the prov
able circumstances are such as to salts
fya jury that he had reasonable grounds
for believing and acted on the belief
that the killing was necessary to protect
himself from great bodily harm.
Putting any further limitation ON the
right to kill in self defense would abol-
ish it altogether. Arkansas is only one
Of the many states in which man may
have to decide very hastily whether he
shall be tried for killing fellow citi-

attention excitedly fixed on his assail-

or to study the necessities of the situa-
tion through the eyes of bystanders.

Its Practice Essential to the Success of

Originality and skill in inventing or

art, on painters powers of observa-

Students should be assured that the
practice of redeeming spare moments of
time by sketching whatever is thrown
in their way is an invaluable one Those
who adopt it will be sure to be reward
ed by often finding memoranda so made
of far greater interest than they had
imagined, and it will correct the habit,
always fatal to originality, of going to
nature for things only that resemble
what they have seen in art. Among the
drawings by Raphael collected by Sir
Thomas Lawrence were many evidently
of what chance presented to him. One
in particular was singularly elegant, of
three or four young men in the dress of
his time sitting at table, and their at
titudes but very slightly varied-an ac-
cidental group in all probability of his
pupils.
In the works of Michael Angelo we
meet with very many attitudes that bear
the stamp of being adopted almost i'm
mediately from nature, and indeed most
of the noble range of his prophets and
sibyls have this look. A subject happily
adopted from nature should not deprive
the painter of the credit due to inven-
tion, for indeed the mere faculty of in
venting an incident is far more common
than the nice and quick perception of
that in nature which is fitted to the pur-
poses of art, and which ordinary OBJ
servers would pass by or reject perhaps
as trifing Or unworthy. Burns turned
up a mouse with his plow and was
heard to say by a man who was at work
with him, "I'll make that mouse i'm

UNDER the operations Of the McKln'
Icy law, says the Plttsburg Post, the
Ohio governor put considerable mon
ey into manufacturing enterprise at
Youngstown, by backing the company
with endorsements and otherwise.
The result was failure that threw
Governor Mckinley into bankruptcy,
very much to the regret Of everybody.
He would have been compelled to
sacrifice the savings of lifetime had
not good friends come to the rescue.
That is the first part of the story.
Now for the second.
Under the operations of the Wilson
law, the Youngstown stamping works,
IN which Governor Mckinley was IN
terested and which were suspended
under the Mckinley tariff law, have
secured a new lease of life. AS an
nounced in dispatch from Youngs-
town in the Post of Saturday, the
works have been purchased by new
company, and the plant will be re-
modelled and new machinery put In,
which will greatly increase the output.
Governor Mckinley should have
had more faith in the Wilson law,
and less in his own tariff. 1t is strict
ly object lesson that an iron mill in
which the father of McKinleyism was
interested should have been forced tc
the wall under the operations of the
Mckinley tariff, carrying with it in 8
financial way the estimable governor
very much to the regret Of everyone
friend, or foe, politically. But the
lesson is even more striking when the
fact appears that the manufacturing
concern has been revived, with new
and hopeful lease Of life, under the
operations of the Wilson tariff, abou
which Gov. Mckinley has howlec

the tent in which he had been put by
the Indians. The poor fellow was
nearly crazy. The awful scenes he
witnessed well nigh dethroned his
reason. He determined to kill him.
self rather than fall into the hands of
the Indians a second time.
When daylight broke, he found
himself on the top of cliff so feet
high, with the river beneath, and
with the yells of the pursuing Apaches
coming nearer and nearer. Frantic
with desperation, he performed
feat seldom, if ever, equaled in the
record of daring adventures. He
fastened the rope or lariat to a tree at
the top of the precipice, let himself
down to a projecting rock 20 feet be-
low, and drawing the rope down again
doubled it around the bowlder and
swung himself off, loosening his hold
when he got to the end and falling
10 or l5 feet. 1t was the deed of a
maniac, yet he escaped unhurt.
Once on the rivers edge he looked
about him like beast at bay, and
discovering several trees which had
been cut down by beavers he lashed
them together with part of his rope,
forming rude raft. He had decided
to attempt an escape in this way. In
any event, death in the Colorado riv-
er was preferable to falling into the
hands of the Indians.
When his craft was ready he lash
ed himself to it with the remainder OF
the rope and without moments hesi'
tatlon pushed out into the river. He
was just drifting into the current
when the Indians appeared on the
cliff above. They yelled like fends
when they saw their prey escaping
and sent after the half crazed fugitive
a volloy of arrows and bullets, none
of which, however, did him injury.
Williams shot down the river with
trghtful speed. He was carried over
the rapids, making a fall Of le or 20
feet and borne along on the current
mile after mile senseless and bleeding.
He was picked up some 100 miles be-
low the spot where he began his aw-
full voyage by squad of Federal
soldiers from Prescott and carried to
that place, where he lay in the hos
pital for more than year, For a
long time it was thought he would
lose his reason, if not life, but be re-
covered, and afterward became not
ed scout for the Federal army on the
frontier.
He never spared the life of an
Apache, shooting every member of
the tribe that came within range of
his rifle. He soon became a terror
to even these bloodthirsty wretches.
1t is claimed that from 1873 to 1876
Williams slew more Apaches than all
the government troops in Arizona
and New Mexico put together. His
fearful peril and daring escape made
him local hero, AMI his feat has
been the theam of nearly every tongue
along the frontier for years-Phila-
