OF this sum 81 per cent, or 1864, 900

BoteI aus Zion, a mission journal pub

of the undermining Of the ancient Jew
ish capital which is Of especial interest
In connection with the proceedings of
the Zionist congress in London. Dur
ing the present century the sleeping
city has been thoroughly modernized,
and it is since that time that Christians
have been given the right to acquire
property. tor until recently, even In off,
cial utterances, Christians were desig-
mated as dogs" Recently the city has
prospered greatly, the population hav.
ing Increased from $4,000 in 1851 to
about 10000 in 1900. Pilgrims from all
parts of the, world go there, and there
has been a great revival of trade and
business. Modern hotels followed the
construction of the railroad from Jaffa,
and during the last i've years tele-
phones, telegraphs and other modern
inventions have been installed in the
City of David. If the ambition Of the
Zionists to restore to Judaism its an
Gent capital is ever realized, they will
find it very much like other modern
cities.

How to Broil In Paper.

How to BPO1l In Paper.
Chops, birds and dry fish are all most
delicate when broiled in paper. Use
heavy white note paper spread with
olive oil or butter. When the article
to be broiled Is laid therein, sailed and
peppered, the edges Of the paper case
should be turned over several times
like little hem and pinched together
close to the meat. The paper will char
q long while before igniting and the
contents will be basted in their own
juices. The time required for broiling
in paper is usually about eight minutes.
When the paper is well Drowned tho
contents will be done to turn-juicy,
delicate and digestible for even the
stomach of an invalid. Serve in its
envelope, which conserves the heat and
Juices to the moment of eating. The
large 6llet of chicken broiled in this
way Is delicious and easy Of assimila-
tion.

How to Care For Eyebrows.


The toilet Of the eyebrows Is simple.
The hair Or the eyebrows can be
trained to lie close and smooth to the
skin, thus resembling the penciled lines
we read of SO often, by the aid Of
tiny little brush manufactured for the
purpose and for sale at all shops deal
Ing in articles for the toilet. Where
the eyebrows are too broad and in
clined to be bushy, they should be daily
trained by brushing, and will, In q
short time, show an immense improve
ment. When the hair falls out Of the
eyebrows, use the following ointment,
which has never failed In my expe-
rience to arrest the disease and cause
a new growth: Red vaseline, three
ounces; tincture cantharides, Jamaica
rum, half an ounce each; origanum,
six drops; glycerin, quarter of an
ounce; oil rosemary, five drops; mix
all thoroughly; apply twice daily with
the eyebrow brush. For continuous
use where the eyebrows are healthy,
little glycerin and rosewater win
give the delicate line emphasis and
brilliancy.
