THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM
A Word Picture of the Everyds, Life of the Modern Holy
 City.

These cafe groups, and the passing throng before them, you will study with wonder and will put to your dragoman endless questions about them, says the author of an enter taining article on Jerusalem, in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. And his knowledge will be at once your ad- miration and despair. He will tell you at glance all about anyone you point out. This man is a peasant from Sloan; he is a Christian, and has just sold load of barley. The man behind him comes from Ram,eh eight hours distant; he walked in this morning with his wife; there she is across the street buying nuts that woman in blue. These three by the door are from a village beyond Bethlehem; two are Christians ant the third a Moslem. They are con cluding a bargain, see them slap their hands together and bind it. The old man in the white turban and blind in one eye (see the lemon leaf iumr in his water bottle) is a Moslem from Fl Birch with grain to sell. There is his camel kneeling. Here comes Bedouins with donkey train; they live in black tents down Jericho way The two girls passing them are gyp sies from the Damascus Gate; see their faces are uncovered; they are begging. Those fat men in pear robes are rich Jews from Persia there. coming out of the shop with the umbrellas. Those purple-shroud ed women going in the carriage are Moslems; the one in white, with a red-fowered veil and leading the lit tie girl, is a Jewess; the one with baby strapped on her back is ar Ain Karin peasant come to meet her husband. who is at the mosque.
 And so on until you wonder if the dragoman is not imposing on your credulity, for what he does seems nc whit easier than to walk up Broad way and pick men out by callings and towns-an insurance agent from Bridgeport; butcher from Pough. keepsie; a reporter hurrying to 8 fire. You ask anyone else if what he says is true; ask the people them selves and you will get the same in formation. It is absolutely true though perhaps he had never set eyes on one of these people. He simply reads for you certain signs of face and dress that are plain as print to those orientals, born and bred to ar infinite curiosity about their neigh bor's business and an amazing power of minute observation. They ought to make great detectives.

WAS NOT ASKED AGAIN.
One Occasion When the Piety of . Michigan Politician Was Not
 Conspicuous.

NJ. E. Chittenden, the Michigan politician who died recently, dearly loved joke His own initials, M. E. C., he always insisted, stood for Methodist Episcopal church, which organization, could it have secured him, would have acquired a very lively member.
 Mart" as Mir. Chittenden was familiary called, relates the Chicago Chronicle, par italy lost hs hearing some years ago and communication with him thereafter was one of the fine arts. Being the agent of the Standard Oil company for a large terri tory, he travelled considerably, and on a cer- tain occasion fell in with a couple of friends at Hilsdale, who invited him to go with them to dinner at the house of a resident ac- quantanee. One of them quietly said to the host: "Alr. Chittenden is an exceedingly pious man and likes to have the food blessed before partaking. You must invite him to ask the blessing.
 Accordingly, when all were seated, silence fell upon the company, while the host turned to Mir. Chittenden with "Will you ask the blessing?"
 Up went Chittenden's hand to his ear, with his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as in a listening attitude he responded in tone more decided than unctuous:
 Eve grown so all-fired deaf lately that if you've got anything to say to me you Il have to say 1t devilish loud"
 A roar from the two friends disclosed to Chittenden and the astonished host that they had been the victims of practical joke. But "Chit" enjoyed it amazingly when he un- derstood what had happened.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The big Stanford stock farm at Palo Alto is now arranged on basis where it can be run almost forever, the entire revenue going to the university.

 The pastors of the churches in three large wards of Brooklyn have voted to adopt the cooperative parish system recommended by the Federation of Churches. This is the nearest ap- proach 70 combination in church work that fe~ been attained and the results whereytr tried are said to have been gratifying.

 Few men are or can be more char itable than was the late Thomas k Beecher. D. D., of Elmira. His salary was $3,500 per annum, and by far tho greater part of this he gave away every year. On one occasion some members of his congregation, ashamed of his shabby appearance, sent him a new overcoat. Dr. Beecher promptly gave it to poor man and repeated when hi. friends sent him a second garment Then they gave him a third, but made him promise that he would keep it The reverend gentleman reluctantly agreed

THE CHINESE SITUATION.
Minister Conger Cables the State Department That the Second
 Step Has Been Taken.
THE FORMAL NOTIFICATION PRESENTED.
Accepts the Agreement, But Feels Able to Guarantee the Perform ance of the Conditions-some Diff faculties May Arise.

Washington, Jan. Swallowing, at an interval of one day, close upon his announcement that the Chinese em- peror had decreed the acceptance of the Pekin agreement, Minister Con- ger cabled the state department un- der date of Pekin, January 1, that the next step had been taken, and that the ministers had been notified for mallv not only that the agreement was accepted by the Chinese govern ment, but that that government felt able to guarantee performance of
 the conditions imposed. It was ap- prehended that there would be much difficulty in settling the important subject of indemnities, and the rear engagement of the commercial treaties between China and the powers, which is provided for only in general terms in the agreement, is expected to pre- sent equal difficulties in the arrange ment of details. It is absolutely es- sential to harmonious relations in the future that there shall be no discrim- ination in the making of these treat les. II DN tONtIl arrangements oHt power is to obtain commercial ad- vantage over the others, the result will be the cause of dissatisfaction Therefore. it is within the bounds of probability that the outcome of the negotiations under this sub-head of the agreement touching commercial arrangements will be the framing of samething like general convention which may be signed collectively or singly by the powers, but which will insure uniform treatment to all.
 The Chinese governments guaran- tee of it's ability to perform the acts called for by the agreement is now expected to be followed by the prompt arrest and punishment of the Boxer leaders and sympathizers who were named in the decree of Septem- Der 25 as follows:
 Prince Chwan, Prince Yin; second ary Princes Tsai Lien and Tsai Ying, Prince Yuan, Duke Tsai Lan. and the president of the censorate. Ying Men, assistant grand secretary of the civil board, and Chao Chu-Chiao.
