fl Victim OF Conscience. |
BY KENNETH F. HARRIS.

THE man was not really bad or VIZ
cious; he was merely dyspeptic.
His breakfast that morning had in
-cluded ham fried extremely hard, what
his landlady called German fried pota-
toes and home-baked baking powder
biscuit. After indulging in viands of
this character it was his pleasing habit
to produce from his waistcoat pocket a
little glass vial containing homeopathic
doses of pepsin and swallow two or
three of the tiny white pellets with an
audible gulp, though he was in the
main a well-meaning man. He haG
swallowed his usual dose, but it had
not alleviated his distressing symp-
toms, and what should have been the
whites of his eyes were quite yellow as
he furled his umbrella in the hall and
brushed the last speck of dust from his
hat.

ROUND ABOUT JERUSALEM.

Let US now turn down into the Jews
quarter and go to the wall Of lamen-
tation FriQay is the best day to
choose for this, because on that day
the Israelites are there in greater
number, and one thus has a WIDER va
iety of types at hand. All along this
old Solomonian wall, every stone of
witch is of the greatest antiquity, are
leaning crowds of men, most Of whom
are clad in more or less shabby fur
greatcoats. The majority of them
seem to be poor, but one must not
be certain as to that point. Some
hold their heads il their hands and
press their brows against the wall;
others read. From time to time one
will sob, whereat all the rest begin
to weep ana vail in ttle most doleful
manner. l noticed che fellow in par
ticular who was as fat as though he
had been fed from birth on Sauerkraut
and had drunk nothing but beet lis
whole life long. He swayed to and
fro and nearly choked himself in his
efforts to provoke a few reluctant
tears. He struggled vainly, making
all manner of piteous and frightful
faces; he then began moaning in
feeble voice. and finally, at the Gre
scendo, the climax, of his fictitious
grief, he beloved at the top Of his
lungs and shook from head to foot.
His antics so disguised me that | was
forced to change my place. NotWith-
standing such exhibitions as this, |
saw among those present many who
had real sorrows, profound griefs, sew
eral of whom were fine, dark Jewish
types, and who, / leaned, had come
from Portugal. What touched me
most deeply, however, and that which
at the same time caused the tears to
dim many an eye, was the sight OF
group of Jewish women, who were
easily distinguishable by their cos
| tune, the striking features of which
consisted of black velvet bandeau
about the brows and a yellow shawl
thrown over the head and shoulders,
| half yelling their faces. They were
moving slowly away, with tears
streaming gently down their cheeks;
| they murmured softly to themselves
or were quite silent. They would
walk a few PAGES, then turn gracefully
| about and drawing their hands from
their black mitts, they would throw
good-by kiss, a last adieu, to their be-
loved wall-their consider, their con-
! fidant, their true friend. For" said
an honest Jew who often acted as
guide for me in my many wanderings
about Jerusalem, "this wall is friend
to whom we confide all our sorrows;
it has known our fathers when they
were happy and prosperous; it sees us
now in our misery ana many troubles;
it links US with the past, it consoles
US, it comforts us, and We go through
life aided, sustained and uplifted by
it. IT. T. Tissot in the Century.

WHEN SETTING OUT PLANTS.

An important point in setting OFT
plants is to firm the soil well about
the plant after setting it in the
ground This can be best done with
the feet, tamping the soil gently i'm
mediately about the base and against
the stalk Of the plant. This serves
to keep the plant in position, SO that it
will not be whipped about by the
wind, and prevents the air from get
ting at the roots. AS the plants are
knocked out of the pots dip the ball OF
soil surrounding the roots in water,
and pour a little into the hole into
which the plant is to be set. Fill the
soil in about the plant, and compress
it as suggested above, and if no water
is applied for week the plant will
suffer By the former method only
the surface Of the soil is wet, and the
roots Of the plant remain dry.
