A pleasure jaunt to the Dead Sea is
a novelty in these days, when novelty
has lost its edge. Yet, there is such
thing, and, during the season, travel
ers who desire to make the journey
from Jerusalem to the neighborhood
where Lot lost his wife may do so with
as little discomfort as the climate, the
bad roads and the horseback travelling
will permit.
The tourist who wishes to take in
the Dead Sea as one of the sights of
Palestine will be reused at his hotel in
the City of David before 3 o'clock in
the morning, and will find his drago-
man waiting at the door with as many
of the small Syrian horses as may be
needed for the party that proposes to
make the journey. 1t is very seldom
that a tourist goes alone, for travelling
in the East is expensive, and an eXcur-
sion of this kind would cost three or
four travellers much less in proportion
than it would cost one. Mounting at
the hotel door, the party goes rafting
along the narrow streets of Jerusalem.
Two hours ride from the hotel down
through the gorge eXcavated by the

Turkish guardhouse on the road to the

The immediate neighhorhood of the

But the old superstitiOns are rapidly
fading out in the light of modern i'm
prOvement which reaches even the vi
cinity of the Dead Sea. Jericho has
two good hotels, a railroad is projected
to connect the city with Jerusalem,
and when this is finished the journey
will be reduced from four or five days
to as many hours, and the conductors
cry "All aboard for Jericho and he
Dead Sea" will attract the attention
of ten times as many tourists as al
present toll over the rough and dan
gerous road which leads from the holy
City to the fords of the Jordan.

tentatiously given out that entertain
ment is free for all who come, but be-
fore the tourist leaves the confines of
the monastery he is made aware that
any contribution he feels willing to
make in aid of the poor brethren Will
be gratefully received. OF course, ev-
cry tourist takes the hint, and even
from the poorer classes of pilgrims,
who go afoot and have little to spare,
the shrewd monks contrive to get
something.
From the towers of Mar Saba it is an
easy ride to the tomb of Moses, which
marks the end of the hill country Of
Judea and the beginning of the plains
of Jericho. The tomb is a MOhamme-
dan mosque on the site of a Christian
monastery that dated from the days
of the Crusades. 1t is not an imposing
structure, low, fiat and without archl-
tectural pretensiOns, but enjoys great
repute in the world of Islam as a
shrine of unusual sanctity. The fact
that the real grave of Moses was I'M
known even to the Jews of his own day
cuts no figure in this case. for, during
the age of the Crusades, miracles were
common, and when the desirability OF
a shrine became manifest it was an
easy matter to make a miraculous dis
covery of the grave, the location OF
which was so revealed to a monk in a
dream, the monastery established and

Coffee and Wine

Brillat-Sayarin long ago stated that
the great Frenchmen Button and Vol
taire drank enormous quantities OF
coffee, to their deadly hurt; and he
declared that a person might take two
bottles of wine a day without injury
during a long life, but that by a similar
indulgence in coffee he would become
an idiot or die of consumption. The
inOrdinate use of tea and coffee is now
well-knOwn, and is admitted, even by
temperance physicians, to be more dan.

tourists. invite them in and offer them
cups of black coffee. Coffee, in all
parts of the Ottoman Empire, is al
ways on tap, and the traveller who ac-
cepts a cup from a gens-d'arme, by
that act engages the man as his protec-
tor during the journey to the Dead Sea
and return. No one ventures even so
far as the Jordan without an armed
escort. for the road from Jerusalem to
Jericho is as badly infested with
thieves now as when the good Samari-
tan went that way and picked up the
luckless tourist who ventured to make
the Journey without an escort. Even
now it sometimes happens that over
confident travellers come to grief, and
a recent party met on their way a
couple of English tourists who had fall

THE MINIS OF BRITISH INDIA.
London Times RfdicuIes the Idea of
Opening Them to silver.

London Times RidicuIes the Idea of
Opening Them to Silver.
London, Aug. 1.-THE Times has pub
lished a two-column special article today
reviewing the effects of closing the In
dian minis in connection with the visit
of the American bimetallic commission.
1t says:
"rhe closing saved the Indian govern
ment from losses incident to the heavy
fall of exchange and consequently from
a disastrous increase in the burden of its
gold obligations 1t is undoubtedly true
that it also helped to keep down the gold
value of silver bullion. but may not the
question be raised whether the low
price of silver is necessarily disastrous to
India, which purchases it so largely?
Since 1893 India has been the only real
wholesale customer for silver. Other Gus
toners are of the retail order.
'The delicate adjustment of the rela-
tive prices of the rupee and silver for
merly existing has been rudely shattered
by recent events. Since 1896 the rupee
has risen and silver has fallen. The fact
is, the forces now acting upon the price
of silver have become too tremendous to
be dominated by such delicate influences
as preceded the defeat of Bryan's silver
party and Japan's adoption of the gold
standard. These events have proved
causes too potent to be withstood.
"One thing is certain, we would be
very foolish to do anything for silver
Even should the United States and
France agree to adopt bimetallism and
England to reopen the Indian minis, il
would only bolster up silver for briei
space, to fall again to its proper market
price; so that Indian finances would be
in position as bad as before, if not
worse than before"
