gon There are also several thousand acres of
four-year old prune orchards, not included
above, but which will add materially to the

will develop, in the course of time, enough
power to run all the machinery within hun

almost inconceivable amount of power goes
to waste over the Falls. A recent estimate
makes the volume of water 800, 900 cubic
feet, falling $50 feet downwards every second,
thus wasting about 10, 900, 600 horsepower
every second. If all this energy could be
utilized, it would suffice to run more ma

THE BLUE RIDGE.
The Girls of Jeruselam.

OF social life the girls Of Jerusalem know
nothing-absolutely nothing, writes Edwin
s. Wallace. United States Consul at Jerusa-
lem. in November Ladies Home Journal.
They occasionally meet, few together, and
appear TO enjoy each others company little.
They talk about their household wOrk-which
is really everything they know-and indulge
in some light COSBY chat about friends,
though their gossip is never of a harmful
kind. In conversation they show some little
animation and spirit, but being ignorant and
illitelate, they have no idea of grammatical
form of expression. Occasionally cards
dominoes and checkers are played, but the
native girls have little inclination for any
pastime involving mental effort. Such things
as dances. fetes, and fairs are unknown
to the girls of Jerusalem; occasionally
they are taken on family picnic to some
olive orchard near their homes where they
pass part of the day. From these and all
similar gatherings men are barred. There is
absolutely no commingling of the sexes For
a girl to appear at any assemblage where
there are men would be regarded as audacious
and shocking. No Jerusalem girl would do
such thing: she would not dream Of COM
hitting so fatal breach in the unwritten,
though well defined, law governing the con-
duct of her sex. So strict is this law, or Gus
tom, of exc 1sion that under no circumstances
would a RI attend the wedding Of her
brother 10 which were hidden guests outside

No court.hip in jerusalem.

OF courtship as il is known in America or
England there is none whatever in Jerusalem,
writes Edwin ). Wallace in November Ladies'
Home Journal. A young MahOmetan never
sees the face of the girl who is TO become
his wife until after marriage His mother
and sisters may see her and report their inn
pressions. but if il is a case where the union
is by them considered n desirable one they are
likely to accredit her with charms she does
not possess Among Jews and Christians
there is a greater latitude in this respect,
though the young people are never permitted
to sec each other without the presence of a
third party. In every case the services Of an
intermediary are necessary.

carelessness or little lack of oversight in the
storage of materials would result in taxation to

many fear may become a reality. The Grand
Jury recommends that Congress, without de-
lay, appoint proper commission OF expert pro-

there is every reason to believe that the Com

MRS. MADELEINE VINToN DAHLGREN,

And Her Charming Summer Home on
Historic Spot on South Mountain.
Few If any women in the Nation are better
entitled TO be held in respectful admiration
than Mrs. Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren, widow
OF Admiral John Dahlgren, the greatest ord
nance officer this country ever produced, anu
Naval commander of the highest reputation
She was also the mother OF the heroic young
Colonel, COL Uric Dahlgren, who won enviable
commentators for his gallantry, and was
finally killed in daring raid against Rich
mond Sufficient as these are they are not her
only claim to National recognition. She is tho
daughter of the late Hon. Samuel r. Nlnton,
one of the greatest and purest statesmen pro-
duced by Ohio, and whose long career IN Con-
gress was continuous and effective work for the
advancement OF his country. Besides, she is an
author of rare talents, and many oil her DOCKS
have had wide sale.
Some 90 years ago Mrs. Dahlgren secured the
land in Turner's Gap of South Mountain, on
which was situated the old South Mountain
House." which all comrades of the Army of the
Potomac will remember who fought In the bat
tie OF South Mountain, or who marched through
the Gap in tho Autieiam and Gettysburg cam
paigus. She has added 10 tho original purchase
until she has now about $50 acres Of land, and
she has transformed the old waysidc inn into
one Of tho most charming Summer homes in
the country. As the comrades will remember.
there is not finer view 10 DO found anywhere
than that obtained from tho old South Mount
ain House. The mountain is cleft nearly Ia
its summit by the gorges which run up from
Middleboro on the east and Boonsboro on the
west, and both beautiful. fertile valleys lilo in
view, framed by the towering mountains, whose
slopes and SUBMITS make an over charging
