the beauty of fertile land But when you
leave the white pile mound of the Jaffa houses be-
hind and strike inland toward Jaffa you do begin to
look out with thrilled expectation for the milk and
honey, the kline placidy grazing on the smooth pas
lures, the bees fitting among the flowers and all the
other signs Of abundant richness of the Land of Pro-
mise. You look from the windows of the narrow
gauge, crawling, rafting Jerusalem railway train,
and you land Towering with sand and rocks.
Near to Jaffa you see here and there gray green
patch, which means orange grove. But these, you
find, signs not of natural richness of the country
but of the German and other Christian colonsts
And the olive groves you notice only seem beautiful
by contrast with the surrounding wilderness. Com
pared with ones recollection of an English orchard,
they desoation itself, for the branches thin
and weedy looking and through the foliage the stony
ground shows it's dismal gray. The railway goes
rafting till the outskirts of Jafa and the regions
of the pious Germans left behind, and then there
is nothing but the blazing blue sky overhead and the
gray wilderness all around, till brown, bare noun
tans shut out the landscape.
Not sign of life for miles, not house a
plough nor patch OF cultivated ground; nothing
but sand and stones and lime dust Here and there
comes a little agricultural patch, which better
than the desert procams the poverty and nakedness
of the land, for the Syrian peasants who cultivate
show by their rags and their wretchedness how poor
is the reward of their patient toll Then the desc
late plain is left behind, and the railway begins to
climb among the still desolate mountains of
Judea
The orthodox endeavors to comfort his belief by
attributing all this appalling barrenness to the
Turks
These valleys" he says, "once stood thick
with corn that they laughed and sang. The hills
that great bare rocks were once densely
wooded. But the paralyzng Turk laid his hand
the land laid impossible burdens on industry, put
impossible taxes olive trees and the result
The land went out of cultivation the forests were
destroyed the olive trees cut down for fire
wood with the natural and inevitable result that
the rainfall dwinded till it almost disappeared, SO
that the fruitful soil became sterile.

thrice four times much Is it not far better far
more dignifed, far pleasant, for the rabbi to
receive salary large as the congregation can at
ford to give him, reckoning upon no fees whatever
Will not the congregations be strengthened and inn
proved by this the only logical and respectable posi-
ton?
We believe in the elevation Of the pulpit above
petty sorddness The rabbi is entitled to a good,
generous livelihood for he devotes his whole time
and all of his energies to his congregation. But it
is the congregation with which he has formed the
bond OF union He has right to look to it for the
support and for his following His time belongs to
it and to no individuals who think they can hire"
the rabbi for five or ten dollars to do their bidding
The fee-systen has led to some frightful abuses.
Some have fallen SO low as to pay commission for
business brought in We know of one of these
brokers approaching certain rabbi who We ull
have sent him rather rapidly away had it not Tee
for the synagogue in which the matter was preached
There some who call themselves rabbis and pose
as much orthodox who advertise openly in dsre-
putable Jewish sheets. No respectable rabbi lends
himself to such schemes; respectable rabbi ought
to accept any fees whatever If he receives but two
thousand dollars salary, the hundred dollars add
tonal from fees will not make him rich and it is very
doubtful whether he would receive so much Dr.
Berkowtz has discovered an exceent method of edu-
eating the people away from fee gvng. May he
find many hundred imtators!

tor Mason, of Illinois, has felt that
since his bazoo was raised so loudly
for war he ought to show in some way
that he was not of that class which
cries for war and when it comes seeks
to evade its responsibilities. The
senator has son who is of military
age. The boy endeavored to enlist in
the Illinois National Guard, but was
rejected on account of his poor eve
sight. Yesterday the senator took
him to the president and asked the
president if he could not arrange it SO
that the boy could 90 to the front as
the representative of THE Mason family.
The president told him that, in view
OF the young mans disability, there
was no way under the law in which
he could be accepted. Senator Ma
son felt much discouraged-at least
he said so. 1t looks as if Billy might
havet to 90 himself.-Quincy Herald.

effects of an income tax in case of
war. He said: If YOU have a for
eign war you will soon realize this.
You will see the revenue of the gov
eminent shrink because our imports
and the country's duties will fall off.
And with an army of men in the field.
the men no longer being producers,
the internal revenue will also decline
and the income of the government
will he cut down to half or quarter
OF what it is. Then will the people
realize what it is to have the supreme
court destroy one of the best sources
OF revenue of the country in the hour
OF danger or war, a revenue which
was constitutional for a century and
which the government resorted to
the last time it had war on its hands.

fend the honor of the country in war

Instead Of starting out with the assump-

dance of knowledge upon every known
subject the chief plank in its platform
is, "We know nothing, but seek knowl-
edge"
The Fortnightly Ignorance club is
the title, Rochester is its home, and,
starting with half a dozen members
meeting in Judge Parker's office. it soon
grew to several hundred members, with
the chamber Of commerce for its head
quarters. Mrs. Parker is the secretary
and DR.. Sarah r. A. Dolley, one of the
first women in this country to study
medicine, is the president. Miss Susan
B. Anthony is an honorary member.
Each member of the Ignorance club is
privileged to display all the ignorance
at her command. A paper is read, ques-
lions follow, and the subject chosen for
the next meeting is one Of which the
members know little but wish to know
much.-New York Sun.
