TIE GIRLS OF JERUSALEM.

Edwin 8. Wallace, United States Consul al
Jerusalem, in Ladies' Home Journal.
OF social life the girls of Jerusalem
know nothing absolutely nothing.
They occasionally meet few to-
gether, and appear to enjoy each
other's company little. They talk
about their household work-which
Is really everything they know-and
indulge in some light gossipy chat
about friends, though their gossip is
never of a harmful kind. In con-
versation they show some little
animation and spirit, but, being ig-
norant and illiterate, they have NJ
idea of grammatical form of express
sion. 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 a family picnic to some
olive orchard near their homes
where they pass part of the day.
From these and all similar gather
ings men are barred. There is ab-
solutely no commingling of the
sexes. For a girl to appear at any
assemblsge where there are men
would be regarded as audacious and
shocking. No Jerusalem girl would
do such q thing; she would not
dream of committing so fatal a
breach in the unwritten, though
we'll defined, law governing the
conduct OF her sex. So strict is this
law, or custom, of exclusion that
under no circumstances would . girl
attend the wedding Of her brother to
which were bidden guests outside
the immediate families.

hope you will meet with prompt
and hearty response from the high
schools Of Missouri, for know OF
nothing in literature 30 we'll adapted

whose lives were spent in building
the history of our revolutionary
times.

1t is requested that the accompa-
nying announcement be read to the
different classes, aud then posted
conspicuously in the class rooms.
In other states where the prizes
have been offered it has proven q

thousand essays were offered in COM
petition In one state last year, and
has acted as q stimulant in the study
of patriotic history.
The subject has received the hearty
disagreement Of hon, John R. Kirk,
the following able committee are
appointed from the members Of the

NEWEST STYLES IN COLLARS.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Emma M. Hooper, in writing upon
"Accessories for Dainty Gowns"
states that crush or stock collars will
continue in style made Of velvet,
silk or satin, as woolen goods are
usually too heavy to lie in loose
folds. Rosettes at the sides are
rather pdsse, but points OF the same
or . contrasting material form .
pretty finish. These points are
named after the Partisan modiste
Paquin. One point is turned over on
each side, being an inch and . half
wide at the top and sharp point at
the bottom where 1t is even with the
lower edge of the straight or crush
collar. Another style has crush
collar, with two pointed tales and
tiny knot ON each side f1ar.ng out
Ike . pair Of birds wings. For q
demi evening dress q collar that is
very becoming to short, full neck
Is Of velvet, forming . deep point.
The ends meet in front under two
small rosettes, and the back is three
inches deep. To the edge Of this is
sewed ten inch lace, which is shown
It's full length front and back, while
around the points 1t is only three
inches below the velvet. By adding
this collar and q belt, crushed or
shaped in q point, of velvet, house
dress may be wonderfully freshened.
Pretty collars and belts of number
twelve fancy figured or striped rib
bon are made by shaping the center
front with q v or dart. At the back
the hooks and eyes are concealed by
four loops on each side; to long ones
project s,dewise and two shorter
loops are thrust straight out back
ward. Then for further decoration,
straps Of the ribbon may be added
over the shoulders, ending halfway
to the belt back and front under
small bow which may hold a fancy
buckle.

HOW TO LOSE FLESH.

From Harper's Bazaar.
After much study and looking
about she determined upon a regi-
men. She instantly gave up sugar
in tea or coffee, and milk at any
time. For two months she took for
breakfast, luncheon, aud dinner only
beefsteak and toast, and now and
then spinach and lettuce; always
oranges-oranges in plenty. She
drank with this clear coffee or tea.
Sometimes she took claret. She
limited the amount Of water taken
through the day to one quart, or at
most three pints. Some of this she
drank hot before or after meals.
Often she squeezed the juice Of .
lemon In it. When the two months
were over and the flesh had begun
to diminish she ate other vegetables
and fruit, corn, peaches, celery, but
never any vegetables that grew un-
derground--potatoes, onions, pars-
nips, turuips, or beets. She never
ate-and this was her most important
rule-she never ate anything fer
mensing In character, any pears,
,plums, grapes, or sweets. Because
bread has fermenting quality in 1t,
she always toasted it dry. Pudding
ahe never touched, sauces nor cake.
II any food led to flatulency in any
form she knew ut once 1t was q food
to be avoided. By -and-by, after the
hrst few months, she allowed herself
now and then an occasional sweet or
an ice, but never as q habit.

I'VE are going 10 fasben this thing on

That was the declaration Of a prorni-
nent Republican several days ago and
has been repeated by others in refer
ence to the sanpete election scandal.
t.The Tribune maintains. and mas all
along maintained that the frauds We're
| not committed in Sanpete put, IN lns

That is from the salt Lake Tribune
and is in accord with the scheme to
duplicate the Chairman of the Utah
Commission. because he cannot be
manipulated by the Tribune gang. The
dastardly attempt to connect Mr.. Blair
with the affair is part of the same
plot.
But has it succeeded? Not In the
remotest degree In the minds of rational
and justpeop.e. The better class of Re-
publieans do net hesitate TO express
their belief that Whatever Of fraud
there is in the Sanpete returns is not
ltraceable to the Utah Commission or
any one connected with that body.
1t is true that the endeavors Of the
Tribune have been. .sall along" as it
says, to fasten the obloquy af the wrong
| upon the Utah Commission. But the
utter failure of that scheme, in all the
evidence that has been adduced, must
be clear to every close reader OF the
proceedings.
There is nothing IN all the ties timony
given in court, there is nothing in any
fact disclosed out OF court, that shows
any handling of those returns in pri-
vate after they reached the Commits
| sion, except the admission by Commits
sioner Sherman that he had them in his
possession with an accountant going
over them as he pleased for two whole
days.

not receded in the least from their or

believed the discrepancies were mis-

the evidence produced in court went to
show that the discrepancies had been
manufactured.
As soon as that became clear to the
majority of the Commission and their
counsel, they looked at the matter in
this way: IF we had known of this
when we commenced the canvass, we
would not have gone behind the tally

plaint of the petitioners did not set
forth any claim of fraud, either as to
the Commissioners or anybody else. It
claimed that there were not discrep-

WHO IS THE CRIMINAL.

The Herald has claimed from the
beginning of the controversy over the
election case that the only question to
be decided was one of law, 1t involved
simply the powers Of the Utah Com
mission. Fraud or no fraud. false re-
turns and false ballots or simple err
rors and unintentional mistakes, it
mattered not so far as the case before
the District Court was concerned.
was not relevant TO the question to be
decided. The evidence as to the frauds
alleged was improperly introduced,
and whether true or false should cut
no figure in the decision.
But at the same time we have never
denied, as stated, that there was no
fraud. We maintained that none had
been demonstrated by evidence, until
the testimony in court was completed.
It appears that some people in tow
with the Tribune knew something
about the preparation of the fraud.
The Herald had no such information.
Neither had the Utah Commission, or
! at least a majority OF that body. When
the evidences of fraud were made suf-
fcient to justify the charge that fraud
had been perpetrated, The Herald
with the majority of the Commission,
promptly recognized the force of the
testimony. Up to that time we had no
evidence of corrupt action to go by.
While we called for proof before
fraud was proclaimed, we contended
for the punishment of the guilty as
well as evidence of the crime. Al
present all that has been developed
is the evidence of fraud. There is
much Of mystery still overshadowing
the affair. An the facts in the manip.
ulation of the returns have not vel
