nois firm, and there is an important
market for all kinds of irrigation ma
chinery. The all-conquering syndi-
cate is in evidence, and the once fer
tile valleys are to be reclaimed by ir-
rigation on a large scale, and once
more transformed into land flowing
with milk and honey. Many of the
rich foreigners making investments
are Jews and leaders in the Back to

The Turkish government has given
many important commercial conces-
sions to foreign nations, and the Sui
tan is watching the undermining pro-
cess with interest. Trade is the great
cementer OF nations, and is also the
great iconoclast. No spot, however
hallowed by tradition, is sacred from
its inroads. A profusion OF modern
factory products thrust inconsiaer-
ately before every traveller widens the
gulf between the scenes OF the Bibli-
cal story and the Palestine of to-day.
The Turkish government has shown
its solicitude for the believers in the
Koran by providing for the sinking

Pocket
Monkeys

The latest fad in the way of pets is
the pocket monkey. 1t is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance in this country in
his present capacity, and he might be
said TO have taken the hearts of pet
lovers by storm. Now his popularity
has become SO great that the men who
make business of catering to the
whims of the people who like pets say
that the demand for the pocket mon
key is five times as great as the sup
ply. They predict a bright future for
the new favorite just as soon as the
people down in Brazil can be made to
understand what good commercial
article they have and thus be induced
to make a regular business of captur-
ing these monkeys and shipping them
up here.
The pocket monkey dwells so far in
the interior OF Brazil as to be almost
out of the reach of traders. He is,
perhaps, the smallest member of the
monkey family known, being about
FIVE inches long, but with tail that is
sometimes three times as long as his
body He belongs to the marmot fam
lily Of monkeys, and is extremely neat
in person and Clearly of habit. IL 1t
wasn't for those characteristics. he
would not be holding the place he does
in the hearts of those who have in
vested in him.

National Costume of Ireland

A certain number of peasants in the
wilder and remoter districts of Ireland
still wear something like national
costume. About Tough Mask plenty
of the lasses are to be seen in the pic
turesque red petticoats that artists
loved to bring into their sketches OF
Irish life. A sprinkling of the old high
hats may be seen; the older fishermen
and others wear them, but the youngel
school shun such Anticipated haadgear,
as the English peasant OF today does
the smock frock.

have always been remarkable for their
use Of the beard. This. of course, is due
to the cold temperature Of those re-

the upper classes, adopting the French
fashion, usually affect an imperial or

The nlg shInr Of the Pnst.

Gigantic as are the sea monsters de-
vised by the modern shipwright, we
have not reached the dimensions Of the
Mannigafual Of Frisian legend, whose
masts were so high that "A boy sent
aloft to bear a hand" came down Il
gray headed man, whose deck was 80
spacious that the captain had 10 gallop
about on horseback 10 give his orders
and whose length was so great that
when swinging in the channel her stern
scraped the cliffs of Albion white, while
her bowsprt swept the forts at Calais.
But we have exceeded I'm some re-
spects the dimensions of Ptolemy's
great ship, which was 400 feet long, 81
feet broad and ~ feet In depth of hold
and which carried 1000 rovers and
1900 mariners, besides unnumDered
soldiers and passengers. OF the great
ship OF Hero, king of Syracuse, the dl'
mensions have not been recorded, but
she was at least as large as PtOlemy's
considering that her freightage was
"G0,OO0 measures Of corn, 10000 Jars OF
salt fish, 10000 talents weight OF WOO
and of other cargo 10000 talents, in ad

About Sneezing.

We frequently hear the expression,
"God bless you" uttered after some
one has snceZed. The expression. If
we can believe Clodd I'm his childhood
of the World" dates back TO the time
of Jacob. We are told in Jewish lit
eraturc that previous 10 his time men
sncczcd but once in lifetime and that
was the end Of them, for the shock
slew them. Jacob prevailed In prayer
and had the fatality set aside on the
condition that among all the nations Il
sneeZe should be hallOwed by the
words, "God bless you" In the "Jata-
ka," one Of the books Of the Buddhist
Scriptures, we read that the express
sion was, May the blessed Lord al
low you to live"
Buddha on one occasion while
preaching TO his disciples happened to
sneeze. The priests gave vent to the
exclamation, and Buddha lectured them
for interrupting his discourse.
If when a person sneezes," he asked
"and you say, May he live! will he
live the lOngerP
Certainly notw cried the priests.
"And IL you do not say it will he die
any the soonerP
certainly notw was the reply.
"Then," said Buddha, from this time
forth If any one sneeze ana priest
says, May you live? he shall be guilty
of transgression."
