"Well, as you are doubtless aware, her
majesty is a great knitter. Indeed she
is invariably at work with her needles,
either at scarfs or mittens for the poor,
little vests for her many great-grand-
children, or cot and bedquilts. The mere
exercise induced by knitting and the
position assumed by the hands tend 20
whiten, refine and keep them in good
shape, while, in the same way. the
hands never look more attractive than
when so employed"

shaped hands and arms p asked.
"Simply because they do so much with

best beautifiers the hands can have.

A lady who has lived in Jerusalem for
the past 40 years and who has only recent
ly returned to England gives the following
curious information concerning the in
crease of the jewish population of the Holy
City:
"Twenty-two years ago there were only
between TO- 600 and 20, 600 Jews in Jerusa-
lem In those days no houses were to be
found outside the magnificent walls, the
gates Of which were closed at night. Since
then many changes have taken place, and
the Hebrew population-mainly ON &c
count Of tho increase Of the Jewish inmi-
grafton from Russia-now stands at be-
tween go, 900 and "a, 900. Whole streets Of
houses have been built outside the walls on
the site OF the ancient suburban districts,
which for hundreds of years have remained
deserted. IL is not however, only In Jeru-
salem itself that the Jews abound, but
throughout Palestine they are buying
farms and establishing themselves in u sur
prisingly rapid manner. In Jerusalem they
form ut present n larger community than
either the Christian OF tho Mohammedan. "

Judge that the bruises and slight
sprains of hands. arms and legs sus-
tanned by passengers in a year figure up
in the thousands. CT course in nine
tenths Of the cases the victims are who'll
ly to blame. The injured person is fully
aware of this, and nurses his bruise or
sprain and nothing is said of it. Even
in many instances where the employ
ers are partly to blame the victims will
overlook the carelessness of the COM
pany's servants and will not commune
cate the fact to the Office. Once IN
awhile the railway company will pay
doctors bill for an insignificant
bruise. Those cases are rare, however.

On examining the effects of coffee ON the
human economy we find that if used jul
diciously it acts as a bodily and mental
stimulant Of most agreeable nature, fol-
lowed by no injurious reaction. 1t pro-
notes cOntcntment of mind unequaled by
any other article used as beverage 1t
allays hunger and bodily WEAKNESS and in
creases the incentive and capacity for work,
both mentally and physically, and not
only so, but enables those who use it to re-
main longer time without sleep or food,
70 endure fatigue and to preserve a certain
cheerfulness Of mini not impaired by any
other beverage. 1t also produces more
physical and muscular energy without
physical injury. The mental exhilaration
and physical activity from its use explain
the fondness for it which has been shown
by scientific men, scholars and others de-
voted to thinking. 1t has, indeed, been
called by some tho intellectual beverage.
The action of coffee is chiefly directed TO
nervous systems. 1t promotes a warming,
cordial impression to the stomach, quickly
followed by a diffusable, agreeable nervous
excitement, which extends itself to the
cerebral functions, giving rise to increased
vigor Of Imagination and intellectwithout
any subsequent confusion or stupor, such
as are characteristic of narcotics -Texas

Of cottages on the lower end Of North
Beach Just how many cords Of wood are
required it is difficult to say, as in burn
ing the whale which lately came ashore at
North Beach the amount of wood was not
measured, but number Of teams and a
great number Of men were kept at work
for several days. and it was calculated that
tic original Eyre contained 200 cords OF

whale only roasted in its own oil, of which
there was, however, not enough to aid ma

that the next whale which comes ashore

The newspapers, both in Greece and Eng

fact, there can be no doubt that 1000

was not international at all.
If Olympic" in the modern sense,
means international" these spectators
were not an olympic assemblage. Inc

to seek. The organization which failed to
attract foreign competitors also failed to
attract foreign spectators. The so called
