Domestic Life In bethlehem, In Judma.


l went to Bethlehem several times,
returning usually toward dusk. con-
stantly met tho Bethlehem men, as
they arc called-mcchanics, masons,
carpenters, misunderstanding Oh foot
from their long and hard days work in
Jerusalem. The hours of labor i'll the
east arc from sunrise to sunset, and
these men would leave Bethlehem early
Ill the morning, and, after walking the
SIX miles TO their daily task, work all
day and walk back ut dusk to their late
and scanty supper Tho younger men
looked worn out. The older men seemed
to have lost all strength, and their eyes
frequently looked dull and almost
glazed.
l was invited to visit family in
Bethlehem. Their home was on the sec
ond floor Of Il building. 1t consisted of
single room, about IS feet square,
with concrete floor, and not IL single
article of furniture save tiny charcoal
stove. 1t was clean. There were plenty
OF windows and the window stills were
low and broad and were used instead of
chairs. There were little cupbOards
built i'll tho walls, which held the food
and the few dishes. AT ono side of the
room was Il larger recess, perhaps feet
deep, 3 feet high and feet long. Here
were piled blankets, rugs and quilts,
neatly folded. AT night tho rugs were
spread on the floor and the family slept
on them, using tho blankets and quilts
for covering. On great occasions little
circular table, about 3 feet across and
foot high, was used as dining table,

Negroes in the North.

The action of the citizens of Elwood,
Ind. in notifying the negro residents that
they must leave the town is significant.
Despite their professions OF kindly in
terest in the welfare OF the negro race,
the northern people are not willing. to
have the blacks live among them. Hun
dreds of occupations in the north are
not open to the blacks, and when they
attempt to engage in them prejudice
and violence soon drive them out.
If Mr.. Mckinley should appoint a con-
siderable number of negroes to federal
offices in the northern states there would
be serious trouble. The people in that
section have no use for the negroes ex-
cept in the south, and they make pets
of them there simply because they think
that 1t will annoy the southern whites.
This brief and blunt statement contains
a volume of truth. There is abundant
testimony going to show that negroes
cannot enjoy as many nights in the north
as i'm the south, nor can they in that re-
n
eumulate property as easily as they can
here.
These are indlsputable facts, and the
northern sectionalsts who falsely profess
their regard for the colored people should
be shown up in their true light and han
died without gloves. Everything that
has been done by the north for the south
ern blacks is the outcome of their hatred
OF the whites of this section. They will
let the negroes starve at their doors, but
they will spend money for their advance
ment here because they think that it
worries the southern people.
II the outside mischief makers would
let southern affairs alone there would
never be any friction between the races
in the south. The black citizens are
better treated and are happier and more
prosperous than any other peasantry on
the globe.

Professor FaIb's Comet.

Prof Falb, the Vienna scientist, who
made reputation few years ago by
successfully predicting earthquakes, now
comes to the front with th4 information
that. the earth will be knocked out by a
big comet in November, 1899. There
is bare possibility that such a calamity
may occur some time, but it is not likely
that Prof Falb knows anything more
about it than other scientific m+n.
If the comet strikes the globe it will
wipe all disturbing problems out of ex-
istence, and while it may seem to be
terrible ending it must be admitted that
there is another side to the matter which
is well worth considering. All people
have to die anyhow. Why, then, should
the general extinction of the entire hu-
man RACE at a given time be deplored
advance? Have the people approached
so near perfection that tbs final disap-
pearance of this world and its inhabi-
tants would be loss to the other men,
bers of the planetary system? This is
the way to look at it.

The Brutal Weyler.

Gen. Weytar intima-es that The C.sneros
girl would have been released before now
but for the New York Journals sensa-
tional treatment of the case. This is not
the way for great commander TO act.
If the girl Should be SCI ait liberty it is
unjust to keep her imprisoned simply be-
cause an American newspaper is her
champion.
Recent adStces state that Weylar has
issued orders to his officers 10 be especial
ly active in the persecution Of Cuban wo-
men. This brutal policy may cause his
destruction. 1t is wearing out the pa
thence of this government, and tbs United
States may at amy time interfere in behalf
of the insurgents. With a little aid from
this country the Cubans would speedily
gain their Independence, and Weylar
would be disgraced and defeated and pos
sibly assassinated.

Come South.

Mr.. N. F. Thompson, who for many
years was resident of Alabama, is do
ing some splendid work In Western
Pennsylvania towards starting a flow of
immigration to the farm lands of Ala
tbama. There are thousands of unem-
ployed laboring people in Pennsylvania
who could find homes among the rich,
but untenanted lands of Alabama. There
are no better farm lands in the world
than in Alabama, and there are thous-
ands ard thousands of acres of rich land
in this state which are not under cult
walton and which could be purchased at
very cheap figures-at from one to five
dollars per acre. MIR. Thompson is un-
dertaloing no specuCa tive scheme he is net
connected with any speculative company
but is earnestly striving to present the
true conditions in the south to the sur
plus labor in Pennsylvania.
All of the Pennsylvania papers are
speaking in the highest terms of Mr..
Thompson. He deserves it, There is
plenty of room in Alabama for the sur
p,us labor of the north. A million more
people could be well provided for in this
state. Alabama doss net need them as
farm laborers, but if they will come with
a few dollars with which ITO buy small
farms they will find it profitable and
they will live happy, peaceful and cor
tented lives.
The Age-Herard cordially recommends
Mr.. Thompson's work in behalf of THE
state He should be encouraged by the
people of Alabama. They should Crop
crate with him and aid in turning the
tide of immigration from the middle
states to the southern states rather than
allow 1t OF continue to go westward.

and. has been sued for libel. She has
ben assaulted with an umbrella and an
effort has been made to give her a coat
of tar and feathers.
The people around Willimantic have
come to the conclusion that the case calls
for vigorous remedy, and they are treat
ing Mrs. Warner just as they would treat
a man under the same circumstances.
The reckless editor has plenty of pluck,
and she not only continues to hold the
fort. but she publishes humorous dzscrip-
tons of the efforts made by her enemies
to get even with her.
The quiet New Englanders arr undecid-
ed how to act, but if the courts do not
give them protection it is probable that
they will destroy Mrs. Warmers office
and drive her out of town. Nothing like
it has EVER occurred in this country be-
fore.

New Men in the Senate.

The recent death of Senator Harris and
the still more recent death of Senator
George, both of whom belonged to the
old school of southern statesmen, point
to the entire control at an early date of
the upper chamber of the national legis-
lature by men to whom the war and the
period before are but history. But so
long as vigor and official responsibility
remain to Alabama's senators and to
Senators Jones, of Arkansas, and to the
two Missouri senator's, the old school
will be heard from, and the war period
will be represented by men who were
active participants in 1t. The four named
are each and, all influential men in the
senate, leaders in the best sense of the
word.
On the republican side there are also
some old-timers. These are Hoar, of
Massachusetts,; Allison, of Iowa; Frye,
of Maine, and Morrill,. of Vermont. The
service of the last named antedates the
war, and in point of years he ranks all
the constript fathers. But If to these
eight men-four democrats and four re-
publicans-there may be added the two
Connecticut senators, they all comprise
or nearly all, who, in body consisting
of ninety mebers, form a connecting link

neighboring town of Putnam, she asked
whether he had run off with some
body's wife, and suggested that he had
eloped with his bookkeeper.

Not many years ago it was looked upon
as an extravaganza for a housewife to
attempt the making of ices and ice
cream, but the matter has been made so
simple and inexpensive now that there
is little excuse for a woman not having
her own iced desserts If she is willing
to give them little time and care. The
only requisite is good freezer, and this
may be purchased at trifling price. An
ice cave is also a desirable thing, in
which to place nodded forms when they
have been prepared and before the time
for serving arrives, but this is not abso-
lutely necessary.
1t is we'll to remember these few points
in the making of the first lot:
Too much sugar prevents the ice from
freezing properly.
Too little sugar will make it freeze hard
and rocky.
Ices which are to be nodded should be
of the consistency of thick batter when
removed from the freezer.
If served unmolded they must be frozen
drier and firmer.
Rough ice and salt must be used in the
freezer
Dish up the ices on a napkin, for this
acts as a non-conductor of heat.
Fruit and syrup are delightful adjuncts
in making frozen desserts. When the
ordinary custard has been made, accord
ing to any good recipe, add four table,
spoonfuls of syrup to every one-half
pint of custard and freeze. AS most
fruits and syrups are sufficiently sweet,
discretion must be used as to whether
any sugar is required in the original
custard. Another easy way to get the
proportions Is to add four tablespoonfuls
of fruit or liquor syrup to one-half pint
of cream or milk; freeze and serve in a
mold. -
