pass Our Neighbours.
Perhaps the most common revelation
in the building of new houses is that
nearly universal desire to excel our
contemporaries-a desire doubtless i'm
planted for some wise purpose, but
which often leads to most extraordinary
results. for the reason that many OF our
fellow mortals are considerably off the
track, and when we surpass them III
any direction we only 60 still farther
astray. Thus, when man has more
money to spend than his neighbor he
examines his neighbours house and pro-
ceeds to build one lust like it-only
more So"
His neighbours rooms are ~ feet
high. He will have his IL or IA, build
three stories instead Of two, and cover
them with q pretentious roof. II his

other things, not because they are more
suitable or beautiful-they may or they

they surpass his neighbor 's-very likely

THE OFFICE SEEKING HORDE.
General Harrison Says 1t Makes the Posi-
ton of President One of Many Trials.


ton of President One of Many Trials.
At the beginning of every administra-
ton Washington fills up with persons
who desire some Office either in the
states, in the departments or in the for
eign service, writes ex-President Harri-
son in The Ladies' Home Journal, dis
cussing "The Presidential Office. Many
of these persons have limited purse,
and as the days pass on this is exhaust
ed, aud impatience and i'll temper come
in. Many of these persons are deserving
and we'll fitted to fill the offices they de-
sire. But it is impossible to find places
for all the deserving, and the position OF
the president is full of trial. The sus-
pense and uncertainty that the office
seeker suffers are illustrated by the case
of man from my own state who
thought he had good reason to expect an
appointment from President Garfield.
After he had been weeks at Washington,
and had brought to bear all the influence
he could command, l met him one day
ON the street and asked him how he was
getting along. His answer was, Very
we'll, very well, but there is nothing
focal yet" 1t was wonderfully express
i've and has remained in my memory
as a type of the state of uncertainty
which accompanies Office seeking.
"Nothing focal yet" but hope that is
hard to kill.
There are few offices at Washington
the salaries of which enable the incum-
bent to save any money, and the average
experience of those holding places in the
departments, am sure, is, if they would
express it, that private business offers
better returns and gives better chance
for advancement.

HAS THE UMBRELLA FAD.
Chicago Man Who Carries 1t to Greater
Extremes Than Most People.

Chicago Man Who Carries 1t to Greater
Extremes Than Most People.
There is a man on the North Side
who has the umbrella fad. 1t would
hardly be fair to tell his NAME as it
was learned in confidence, and the fad
might not be regarded as a mere eccen-
tricity by some people who have suffer
ed from it and they might be tempted
to complain to the police. Again, every
body who has lost an umbrella-and
that means a majority of the people OF
Chicago-would look up his address in
the directory and sweep down upon him
with the hope that his lost property
might be in his collection.
There are other men who have a
weakness for taking umbrellas, but no
man is known to have carried it to so
great an extreme as this one. He has a
collection numbering 400 umbrellas OF
all kinds. A good many of them were
bought Some of them were borrowed
from friends, with and without their
permission, and others were acquired in
other ways which it would be hardly
W illtntlOi. liV ihoi 40 " SOONs
citizen in other respects, but he is vic
tim of the umbrella habit, and when he
sees an umbrella he is compelled to
struggle very hard to resist the tempta-
ton to make himself its owner. Usual
ly he yields to the temptation, and the
coveted prize is transferred to his COL
lection.
The umbrella collector does not make
any great display of his collection. The
umbrellas are piled up in big closet IL
his bedroom, and he very seldom visits
it. Now and then he looks over them
and counts them with satisfaction. The
last time he counted them there were
39S in the closet. He has added few
to his collection since that time.
In every other way except this pas
sion for umbrellas, which amounts to {
mania, the man is perfectly sane Hi
friends regard him as very clever
man, and he holds a responsible posi-
ton in q big wholesale house dow
town. But umbrellas are his weakness
He is a victim of the umbrella habl
lust as another man might be victim
of the opium habit or morphine habit
and his relatives are in constant fea
that the habit may some day get hin
into trouble. Chicago Times-Herald.

THE POOR SLOTH.
.es Has Poor Chances In the Great Battle
of Life and Deserves sympathy.

Is Has Poor Chances In the Great Battle
Of Life and Deserves sympathy.
! never see live sloth without feel
ing sorry for it, for truly they all de-
serve sympathy, and plenty of it, Had
] been born sloth would want to sue
nature. or in some way collect damages.
Take Hoffman's sloth for example. IL
is one of the largest Of them all, but it
is too weak and helpless TO be put into
such wicked and dangerous world as
this has now become. Its countenance
is picture of innocent stupidity, and
as it looks at you its dull eyes and ex-
pressionless face say to you, as plainly
as words: "Pity me- cannot fight. l
cannot run away. / have no defensive
armor, no spines, nor anything worth
mentioning. am too big to live in a
burrow, and even if / were not have
none, nor the tools with which to make
one. am at the mercy of everything
and everybody. Why is this thuse Why
am here?"
i give it up. This creature is rid
die that cannot read. Being only a
shortsighted mortal, it seems to me that
the sloth should have been better equip
ped for the battle of life, or else left out
Of it altogether.
The sloth lives, moves and has his
being by hanging underneath the small
or limbs of trees, and eating leaves ano
fruit. He is the slowest animal on rec
ord, and for speed in travelling Ions
journey, say, from one side of treetoI
to the other, the tortoise is lightning
express in comparison. 1t takes goot
fieldglass to enable you to see hin
move. His hair is coarse, wavy and pre-
cisely the color of gray moss, or rough
bark, although sometimes it supports
minute vegetable organism which give
it an olive green hue. His feet are sim
ply four hooks, by which he hangs him
self very comfortably when feeding II
the upper story of forest, but in walk
ing on the ground they are worse thai
useless. But the sloth has no use for tn
ground, and never goes near it OF hi
own accord. William I. Hornaday i

AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT.
ahe Remarkable Demonstration Made Ev-
cry Friday by the jews In Jerusalem

cry Friday by the Jews In Jerusalem
The Jewish population in Jerusalem
is said to be about $4,000, and it is
steadily increasing. l entered two of the
synagogues, but their dirtiness, poverty,
and baroness, and the absence of beauty
and taste in their decoration, formed a
great contrast to both Christian and
Mohammedan edifices The Jews, how
ever, make one most remarkable dem
onstration in Jerusalem eve,-- week. On
Friday evening, just before 60 begin
ming of the Jewish Sabbath, they repair
in great numbers to a spot facing q
piece of the old wall, and there bewail
the fate that has overtaken the Holy
City. The walters" as they are some
what rudely called by English visitors,
include Jews of every class and every
age. Some / saw wore rich and costly
gaberdines, and others the same gar
ment of more common material. There
were Jews of nearly every nationality,
including Russia and Poland, and many
of them wore the lovelock which is pc
euliar to the children of the tribe OF
Benjamin.
A more impressive and pathetic sight
it would be impossible to imagine. The
whole company stand with their faces to
the wall, and they chant, not together,
but each one for himself or herself, a
litany of lament over the fate Of the
City of David. The litany is in Hebrew,
and every one present had with him the
Hebrew prayer book. There is no unison
or harmony in this recitation OF sorrow
| and humiliation. Each one as he arrives
begins to deliver his lamentation, bend
ing frequently to the wall. which he be-
lieves to be remnant of the old city.
While the "wailing" is at its height,
one hears a general, confused, but pene-
trating note of woe. OF the intense sin
certify of this weekly service there car
be no doubt Many of those who take
part in it are deeply moved. Some Of
the men and nearly all the women (fol
women also take part in it) were shed
ding tears. The Turks, no doubt, view
the performance with complacent scorn
but in its combination of patriotism ant
religion it affords striking testimon.
of the vitality Of the Jewish race. :

For he bore within his bosom
The seed Of paradise.

And thore such warmth 10 found

And the rose fell on the ground.
Az the green light on the prairie,
As the red light on the sea,
Through fragrant belts of summer
Came this sweet world to be.

Spread his mighty vans for flight.
But a'glow hung round him fleeing
Like the rose of an arctic night,
And sadly moving heavenward
BY Venus and by Mars,

Hail earth, the rose of stars.

OF Interest to Farm ers.


From the Elllcott City Democrat, January
IS, 1897
Farmers have always claimed that
if they only had plenty of stable ma
nure they could make their lands rich
and there would be no use of their
spending the large sums of money
which they annually do for CONNER
cial fertilizers. These fertilizers, if
what we hear is correct, have become
a veritable bugbear to all farming OPP
erations. Upon looking into this mat
ter we feel sure the farmers are not
sufficiently careful in saving their
homemade manure, to say nothing of
the waste of the urine, which is fully
as valuable as the solid matter, and
fully one-half the value of manure is
lost when it is allowed to lay around
in loose, careless manner. BY all
