Round About Jerusalem.

]. James Tlssot, the distinguished
French illustrator of the Life of Christ
writes in the Century for April of a
walk Round About Jerusalem" and
gives this picturesque description OF
the scene at the Wall OF Lamentation:
Let us now turn down into the Jews
quarter and go to the Wall of Lamen-
tation. Friday is the best day to
choose for this, because on that day
the Israelites are there in greater
number, and one thus has wider var
iety of types at hand. All along this
old Solomonian wall, every stone of
which 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 in 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 and
wall in .e most doleful manner. l no.
ticed one fellow in particular, who. was
as fat as though he had been fed on
sauer-kraut from birth and had drunk
nothing but beer his whole life long
He swayed to and fro and nearly
choked himself in his efforts to pro-
unlyA n nj JJn OF
gled vainly, making all manner of pit
eous and frightful faces; he then be-
gan moaning in feeble voice, and fl
nally, at the crescendo, the climax, of
his fictitious grief, he beloved at he
top of his lungs and shook from head
to foot. His antics so disguised me
that l was forced to change my place.
Notwithstanding such exhibitions as
this, saw among those present many
who had real sorrows, profound griefs,
several of whom were fine, dark Jew
ish types, and who, learned, had come
from Portugal. What touched me
most deeply, however, and that which
at the same time caused the tears to
ulm many an eye, was the sight of a
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
few PAGES, then turn gracefully about,
and drawing their hands from their
black mitts, they would throw a good
by kiss, a last adieu, to their beloved
wall-their consoler, their confidant,
their true friend. For" said an hon
est Jew who had often acted as guide
for me in my many wanderings about
Jerusalem, this wall is a 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 and 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,"

River Chances a Stale Lima.

Evansville, Iud., March 26.-The
state of Indiana will soon acquire
about 400 acres of land from the state
OF Illinois by the changing of the
channel of the Wabash river at the
bend in the river north of Hutsonville
ILL.,, about 16 miles north of Sullivan,
Ind. The river has been cutting this
channel for years. 1t is generally be-
lieved that when the present high
waiter subsidies a sandbar will be
found across the old channel at the
upper end of the cutoff; and by this
means the transfer will be complete,
and that part OF Illinois across the
river at the mouth of the bayou will be
found in Indiana. The new channel
will shorten the course of the river by
two and one half miles. There is a
four hundred acre piece of ground be-
tween the old and new channel be-
long to ]. Anson Parker, OK Terre

The Fascination of Gold Hunting.

Once you have seen a color" in the
bottom of pan with the black sand
following it around likt faithful SER
want, you can never agaln be deceived
by the false glitter of any other par
t.cles. You would know it if you saw
1t between cobblestones in Broadway,
or if it were no larger than a pin head
at he bottom of trout pool.
For the moment the yellow pile
makes you feel like seeking a claim
OF your own and harvesting its treas
ure for yourself. But when you look
at the miry path along the base of the
mountain by the creek-side, and think
of following it with a pack on your
back until it is NO more, and a wilder
ness begins; think of passing on over
the mountains until you come 10 what
you consider likely place, and thaw-
ing through thirty feet of earth at the
rate of foot a day in the haphazard
possibility of finding pay dirt" you
conclude that the poetry of the thing
can be better appreciated by sitting on
someone else's dump.-April Scrlb-

A Novel Bicycle Attachment.

This device is self-contained and
consists of tube Of pure rubber on
suitable cross section to conform to
the shape of the bicycle chain on four
sides, completely covering the same
except that a slight opening is left on
the inner or working side by which
means it passed by the sprocket teeth.
This tube is passed over and around
the chain, its ends being attached to-
gether in an exceedingly quick and
simple manner, and travels with the
chain continually, dividing in passing
the sprockets, and has no attachment
to any other part of the machine.
To attach or detach the Chain
Stall" for examination or repair of the
chain it is sprung over the latter as
simply as a rubber band is slipped ov-
er package. No tools are used, the
hand alone in a simple movement per-
forming the necessary operation in a
few seconds.
The device has been called the
"chain-stalPby the makers because it
is an attachment to the chain pure and
simple as distinguished from all gear
cases and chain covers which attach to
the bicycle frame. 1t is the acme of
simplicity, does not detract from the
appearance of the machine, being
scarcely noticeable, and weighs but
four ounces. 1t is claimed that it
makes the maching run easier by pro-
tecting the chain; saves wear on chain
and sprockets; is simple, neat and
handsome; is light, noiseless and alb
solutely without friction; is a COM
plete protection to trousers or dresses,
perfect in action, and costs but a tri-
fie; that it reduces friction, saves
power, improves the appearance of the
machine, adds no complication, weighs
practically nothing, never gets out of
repair, and saves strength, temper and
money

Twenty-Five New PUPILS.

The names of twenty-five new pupils
have been added to the night-school
register during the past week. Very
few of these new arrivals can either
read or write, and in the selection OF
scholars those who have little or no
learning are given preference over
their more fortunate comrades who
are better educated. Teacher Hamil-
ton has charge of the Juveniles" and
is making splendid progress in this
particular department.. The conduct
of the boys during school hours is al
ways excellent, and an infraction OF
the rules is a very rare occurrence

The Ocean Currents.

The force, speed, and direction of
ocean currents are discovered by a
systematic plan of throwing sealed
bottles overheard and in time receiv-
ing reports from them. An explana-
tlon of this plan was printed in st.
Nicholas for June, 1898.
These reports are indexed and class
flied, with the result that much valu-
able information is gained about the
ocean currents.
For instance, a bottle thrown over
board November 16, 1896, was picked
up March 26, 1898, during which time
it had drifted 400 miles. Another
that was thrown over near Nantucket
was found, 512 days later, off the
coast Of Scotland. Another starting
from Cape Cod, brought up at Corn
wall, having travelled $500 miles in
600 days.
Some bottles, however, have shown
an average speed of thirty-one miles
per day., while others have travelled
along at the slow rates of twenty-six,
fourteen and even four miles per day.
In the Pacific Ocean there are fewer
chances of the bottles being picked up,
but the experiments are tried there
with fair success. AS the work goes
on, the number of bottles used is in
creasing, and the captains and skip
pers are becoming accustomed to find
ing the bottles and reporting them to
the bureau.-St. Nicholas for April.

Important Decision Affecting Span
iSh War ADDIiCations,

decision just rendered by the De-
partment of the Interior that no an
plication for pension is valid unless it
came from aperson who has already
acquired pensionable status, sounds
like dry technical proposition, but
its bearings will be more fully under
stood by reference to the crop of cases
which called it forth. 1t appears that
large number of applications have
come in since the war with Spain
passed its crisis, from soldiers still in
the tieIu or in camp, who claim to
have suffered disabilities from wounds
or disease contracted in the service.
The Commissioner of Pensions beliey-
ed that it was his duty to set the ap-
plicf ions aside as invalid, because the
law does not recognize any soldier as
having a pensionable status till he has
been mustered out, and a muster out
in the late war has always been i'm
mediately preceded by a medical ex-
animation as to the soldiers condition
at that time.
To establish precedent for letting
in such applications, now that we are
keeping or preparing to keep any
where from $4,000 to 100000 men in
the field would be a constant drain
upon the Treasury, for it would often
be possible for soldier to get bad
report from the surgeon while he was
still suffering from some trouble quite
capable of cure. This, and the ease
with which comrades could be induced
TO swear to the conditions apparently
leading up to the trouble, would tend
to swell the pension list unduly. The
question raised by the Commissioner
was referred by him to the depart
ment, and drew forth the decision
mentioned at the beginning of this
dispatch. Ledger.

eta.

clldI
A company has been formed in
Pittsburg for the construction of steel
barges and they are seeking a location
1t expects to locate somewhere in this
valley and they have no preference as
to the place where the works will be
established.
1t is well known fact that Marietta
has an elegant location for dry docks,
as well as property that can be had at
a reasonable figure for a boat yard.
Why not investigate the matter and
see what can be done to get he indus
try here. 1t would be a good thing for
us, as well as for the people who
would come here to get into as nice a
place as Marietta.
The barges are to take the place of
the old cumbersome wooden affairs
which have been used for so long to
carry the coal of the valley to market.
The wooden ones, while being very
heavy and taking very small load
compared to the steel ones, are easily
broken up when they strike an OBJ
struction, thereby losing the cargo in
to the river.
The steel ones are said to have every
advantage over the wooden ones.
They are very much lighter and thus
can be handled with greater ease, thus
allowing the tow to be made easier
when coming back. Besides this they
will take fifty per cent more cargo
than the old ones.

Prisoners Make a Miniature Maine.

Convicts Nos. 2S,552 and 29,637 at
the Ohio penitentiary have recently
made a miniature Name" of which
the o. P. News speaks as follows:
The two constructed the model by
simply looking at a picture of the
Maine. 1t took them three weeks,
steady time, to make it, and, of course
it had to be made by only such impro-
vised appliances as ,ley could find in
prison.
The length of the model is 20 1916
inches, and it was made on a scale of
1882 of an inch to 1-.e foot. 1t is 5h
inches wide.
The main battery of the Maine con-
sists of four ten-inch, and six six-inch
guns. The secondary rapid-fre bat
terry has seven six-pounders, eight one
Founders, four Gatlings and four tor
pedo tubes.
When it is remembers. that these
things have been duplicated in what
Shakespeare calls counterfeit pre-
sentiment" by prisoners who, of
course, are limiteu in the tools that
they are allowed to use, and that one
of the men is negro, and all done in
three weeks time, by men with moth
ing but a picture OF the Maine-new
the most famous boat that was ever
built except Noah's ark and the May
fiower'-to assis, their imaginations.
This model may be regarded as won
derful production.

A Pleasant Acquaintance.

~ iOoobHN
The acquaintances picked up while
travelling are sometimes desirable and
sometimes otherwise, and 1t is impos-
slble to tell from experience to which
class ones fellow-traveller may be-
long. Although AWKWARD mistakes
might be made, it is true, one loses a
great deal on the other hand by being
ultra-exclusive and stunning all inter
course except with those who have
been properly introduced in orthodox
fashion. One of the happiest interna-
tlonal marriages on record resulted
from a chance meeting in the Alps, and
a lifelong friendship that has given
the greatest pleasure to two families
had its beginning in kindly proffer
of a magazine on the express between
France and Switzerland. Still, happy
results are not always the outcome of
such, and when Mrs. A. found herself
seated next to an attractive looking
young countrywoman of her own at
the table d'hote at D., she resolved
to be very careful, and cautioned her
husband and daughter against becom-
ing too intimate with a person that
they knew absolutely nothing about,
although she acknowledged that she
could see nothing Objectionable about
her, and that she was most ladylike.
But it is hard to maintain reserve
when in daily contact, and despite
Mrs. AS caution, at the end of a week
the stranger, who told them that she
was the widow of an army officer, be-
came practically one of their party.
Mrs. AS daughter, who was inclined
to be gushing, struck up a violent
friendship with the pretty stranger,
who on her part accepted their kind
ness rather deprecatingly.
ut is so good of you to be so kind to
me" she would say very often. "You
know nothing of me. l might be some
body who was very undesirable!" a
pleasantly that always amused her
new friends immensely.
When the time came for the A. S de-
parture many plans were made for the
renewal of the intercourse, and the
pretty little widow was invited to vis-
it them on her return to America
few months later, an invitation which
she gratefully accepted and would un-
doubtedly have availed herself of if
circumstances bad not arisen which
brought a new actor on the scene.
The night before the AS left a quiet
looking, somewhat elderly man took
his place at the table d'hote just op-
posite the party, which included the
young stranger. He eyed the AS so
narrowly during the dinner that Mr..
A. took umbrage at what he consider
ed his rudeness, and was about to ad-
dress him on the SUBJECT on leaving
table, when the newcomer walked up
to the pretty widow
1T is an extradition affair."" he said
quietly, you are wanted in the States
on a charge of forgery You had bet
ter come without creating a scandal
for have a couple of gendarmes with
a fiacre at the entrance ofthe hotel and
will go with you to your room while
you pack your things"
The widow went, leaving the family
speechless. New York Tribune

1t is said that the fame of the pros
perlty of Marietta has reached New
York and Boston as well as a great
many other eastern cities. Travelling
men from all parts of the country are
looking forward to the time when they
can reach the town. This looks like
there was in reality a boom on for the
old town.
