PROGRESS IN Pan ESTINE

At a recent meeting in London of the
Palestine Exploration Fund Sir Charles
Wilson who has just returned from an
extended trip in various parts of the
Holy Land, spoke of the transformation
effected in the appearance of the coun-
try by the Jewish colonies. He said
that he was not at all prepared for the
extraordinary change they had effect
ed. They had turned places that he
remembered as absolute waste land,
and almost desert, into the most beau
tiful gardens and fields of wheat and
barley. One especial settlement had
been most successful in producing
olives, almonds and other fruits, and
was a good example of what could be
done when the land was properly cult
waited. Baron Edouard de Rothschild
had certainly set to work on good lines.
Young Jews had been trained in the
best schools Of France, and were now
applying their knowledge to the recul-
tivation of Palestine Whereas in 1870
the Jordan valley was without cultiva-
ton, it was now covered with gardens
and planted with almonds and olives.
1t was no good saying that the Jews
were not good agriculturists, for he had
seen them working with their hearts
and souls. These colonies had reacted
to certain extent on the Christian and

| Times have changed since Brother
Bryan went ripping and roaring through
the land recommending himself and
his platform as cure for the ills that
afflicted the country. There are not as
many ills as there were AS the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat points out, no
calamity party is in sight for next year
| Its foundation has gone to pieces. Ne
| braska banks report deposits amount
ing to $21 100000. In the dark days Of
| the Cleveland failure and the Bryan
scare, the Nebraska bank deposits
| amounted to only $11 900 900. They have
doubled under Republican administra-
tion. Kansas has parted company with
the silver party. Its Republican plural
ity last year was 1880. Kansas and
Washington combined take fourteen
electoral votes from the Bryan column.
A change Of 1900 votes last fall would
have given Nebraska and South Da-
kota to the Republicans. The gains of
Republican congressman in the trans
Mississippi States last November were
remarkable, and had the high distinc-
ton of saving the house. All of Ne
braska's neighboring States are as pros
porous as itself, and can match its in
crease in deposits. Speaking in the
light of mathematical facts, Bryan's
prospects in the States west of the Mis-
sissppi have generally faded. Figures
of all kinds prove it. Nor can he count
on gains east of the Mississippi, unless
in Kentucky, in which the Democratic
party at present is more seriously divid-
ed than in 1896. The facts in the case
suggest change in the Democratic cam
didate, but even that might cost more
votes than it would gain. Prosperity,
expansion and sound money are win
ming combination.
AS it looks now even the octopi wont
save the Democratic party. Indeed,
they may, after election. be accused Of
destroying it.

says it's dam-funny thing he never
gets more than one shirt in six to
Teacher-Quite so. But with refer
ence to moral obtuseness all has not
been said. The amount of articles
which the laundryman will lose, deny
ing your accuracy and the receipt OF
those articles, varies in proportion to
his moral obtuseness rather than to his
negligence.
Cbild-It seems to me that on the
whole this laundryman is a very fine
fellow. He is god. making a mark of
mankind, foolng the men in every way,
and growing fat upon their offerings.
But what would happen if / went into
the laundry business with my childlike
honesty and innocence still unstained,
with a full knowledge Of the practical
side and with hatred Of anything in
the nature of a joke?
Teacher-You would soon acquire a
large business and a large fortune.
Having acquired the fortune, you would
turn yourself into a limited company,
and afterward your laundry would live
on its reputation until the reputation
was gone.
Chld-Shall I, then, become a laun-
dryman?
Teacher-That, my dear Lionel, must
be matter for consideration; you are
still young, and your papa may have
other views for you, And now I must
say goodby, and when I come next
week I hope you will have learned to
greet me properly on entering the
apartment.
Child-Yes, teacher. Goodby.-Barry

FASHION NOTES.
Orna mental TTucery.

Embroidery is employed a great deal
in the decoration of bodices and entire
gowns, and its use is after two dis
tnct methods. One, the older, has it
in large and elaborate designs that be-
speak a deal Of work and if properly
arranged add much to the gowns rich
ness. The other Is much less conspicu-
ous,and consists of DELEGATES tracery that
usually follows seams or edges and
that rarely appears in detached figures,
which, anyway, are preferably small.
Its newness counts much in favor Of
this latter method, and it is more taste
full when both sorts are considered in
general. Whether any saving is eff

fected by it depends upon the especial
costume. If the tracery is applied as
freely as on the dress of this picture,
there's quite as much expense to it as
if considerable design work was used.
This embroidery was in lavender and
white threads, the dress goods being
violet foulard. Panels on the skirt were
pale lavender silk, and the yoke was
striped lavender and white. If one is
to get the best possible results from
such embroidery its color must be Sc
lected judiciously. Unless the shades
are delicate and entirely harmonious, it
will not have one-half its full orna-
mental value.
Picturesque hair dressing prevails,
perhaps as one result of the fancy for
going about bareheaded. Glossy locks
loosely coiled with a curl slipping out
back of the ear and half-opened rose
bud tucked in at the temple-that is a
fashion in favor just now. 1t is one
that makes a beauty of many a girl
who seems to lack all charm when her
forehead is clamped within a bicycle
tire pompadour and whose head Is
screwed into an Englishbun affair at
the back A soft scarf of ribbon Is
sometimes worn, half supporting the
low dropped coil at the back, and is tied
near the temple SO that its fringed ends
droop to the ear. Below the coil at the
back a few locks escape in little curl
This little curl must be natural; that is,
it must at least grow there, and IT is
dictated that the roots of the curled
lock shall show, so that it may be inn
possible to mistake it for curl bought
and tucked in.

ing to the correspondent in Athens of

what foreign instruction has done for

Two of the chief difficulties to be con-

are, first, the natural indisposition of
the Greek character to submit to dis
cipline; and secondly, the prevalence OF
corrupt political influence.

The financial year of the Casino at
Monte Carlo closed with last month.
Its total income was 91,104 ,0O0 an in
crease of 100000 over the former twelve
months. The season opened badly and
considerable ground was lost. How
ever, the late winter rush established a
record. An English mine owner took
away E15,000 and Russian count won
G14,000 in one night The most re-
markable trick of the blind goddess was
the way in which she turned up thirty
three seven times in succession with no
body backing it. Including the pay
ment to the Prince of Monaco (e100000)
the expenses for the maintenance of the
Casino and principalty are 9444, 900.
The remaining 100000 goes to the
shareholders as interest at Eli per
share. These latter beneficiaries are
said to be many of them of the gentler
sex.

In a recent article in the Bulletin of

abilities as to petroleum, the origin of
the substance and the conditions under
which it occurs being set forth in an in
teresting manner. In accordance with
the opinions of many other well-knoWn
aeologists. Professor Orton concludes
that the fluid is of organic origin, de-
rived from either animal or vegetable
remains. He also argues for the i'm
Dortance of rock structure in determin-
ing the position of petroleum deposits,
and further. that the oil is formed in

+rarv to Investigations made by other

NOT migrate either up or down through
the rocks.
