gathered in sheaves and piled in separ-
ate heaps each being Of larger or small
err proportions, according as 1t represents
an individual farmers harvest returns
for the season las the heaps stand thus,
they are ready for threshing, which pro-
cess is performed by leveling off the bor-
dets of the pile to a depth of one foot
and q width of five to six feet. Then
horses, asses or mules are driven or rid
den, singly or in pairs, round and round
the heap, grinding and tramplng under
foot the grain out of the ears and the
stalks into chaff until the heap is thor
oughly threshed. 1t Is then gathered up
and removed separately, and another
part of the heap is leveed off for the
threshing process. This is kept up until
all the heap is DONE when the newly
threshed pile Is fit for winnowing. This
work is, very tedious, as in fact are all
the various departments of field labor in
Palestine, for the farmers are destitute
of every vestige of machinery or labor
saving apparatus that are used by more
fortunate peoples. In spring, the thfesh-
floors afford unsurpassed facilities for
camping, on account of their being Sc
curely sheltered from all winds by the
surrounding hills and elevations. Any
body who has experienced the hardshiDs
of camp-life during wind and storm will
appreciate a sheltered spot.
" Avery conspicuous building in Naza-
reth is the English Orphanage, which
was erected under the auspices of the
Female Educationa Society in, England
in 1875, and conducted by that society
until 1899, when it was turned over to the
management of the Church Missionary
Society. This school provides for the
education of poor orphan girls from
Nazareth and its vicinity, and affords
home for them. These eighty to one hun
bred girls are taught English and Arabic
grammar, reading and writing, arithma-
tic, geography. history, housekeeping.
sewing and fine needle-work. The staff
of teachers includes five English ladies
and six native assistants.
"rhe common belief, in other lands, is
that snow never falls In the Holy Land.
This. however, Is not the case. The win
ters are occasionally quite severe in Pal
estine, ana heavy snow storms are moth
ing unusual in the elevated parts of the
country. The brow Of the hill on which
stands the Nazareth Orphanage is nearly
ll700 feet above sca-level."

or renter 40 that of the proprletorship
of a few goodly acres is the man who
has spent the most of his years as free
man; he is the only man who has the am
bition to own the few acres which he
tills. Since emancipation, there has been
in Georgia an increase of the value of
farming land, an increase of the number
of small farms, and an increase of the
amount and variety of productions, and.
above all, an increase of patriotism and
of energies for the advancement of the
common welfare. No longer is nearly
one-half of it's population enemies to the
commonwealth.
1.-The great drawback and discourage
ment of the colored farmers is a lack of
working knowledge of the soil and of
improved farming implements. / think
/ am safe in saying that there is now lit
tie or no effort put forth to improve the
colored farmer No farmers institutes
are nel0 among lH6lils I4iUtlc no dSii-
cultural literature reaches them. The
agricultural experiment stations are OF
practically no benefit to them. Except
those who are laborers upon farms Of
white pIanters-very few use the improved
farming implements and machines. Both
in field and barn the old methods of
agriculture are still in vogue, especially
among the coiored farm owners. There
are, however some excellent exceptions TO
the rule.
1.-The tenantry system tends 90 keep the
farm laborer poor, ignorant and lazy, and
the cropper unambitious and unreliable.
Ninety. per cent of the farm labor of
Georgia belong to these two classes, and
their general shiftlessness and restless
ness are due to this system and to their
ignorance.
Not only, then, should the colored far
rner be encouraged to own his own farm,
but efforts should be put forth to make
farm life desirable to the colored people.
So far as the South is concerned, for
many years to come, they will be the
chief and the best labor for that section,
and 1t is to the interest of the country
that they should become as contented and
! efficient as possible.

ancient forms and usages before the

In sacred history. Across the ancient

telegraph Office, where an Armenian OPP
orator, in ordinary European dress, keeps
the village community in touch with the

Christian Herald visited Nazareth. during
his tour OF the Holy Land, he handed to
the operator the FIRST cable message ever
filed there for transmission to the United
states. The operator hesitsted, and de-
clined to receive 1t. After telegraphing
to Beyrout however, to ascertain the

How Prince LIS Daughter Married q
Scamp
From the London STANDARD.


Shanghai, Feb. 1l.--One of the most un-
accountable things that the Empress
Dowager has done lately is the rehabili-
tation--if the news is true--of Chang Pei
Iun. This man, whose very name Is hated
by every decent official in the Empire, got
himself no one knows how, made Hign
Military Commissioner at Focchow dur
ing the French "reprisals," nearly seven
teen years ago. The Chinese fleet were
expecting an attack by the French fleet
under Admiral Courbet who sent word
that he would fire on them If they litter
their anchors. The Chinese commodore
pointed out to Chang Pei-lun that IL they
were attacked while at anchor they must
be sunk by the French ships, but Chang
refused TO listen to him, ordered the
ships to remain al anchor, and then went
up on a hill just above the arsenal TO see
the fight. Admiral Courbet attacked,
with the result foreseen by the Chinese
commodore. and. al the same time. began
TO shell the arsenal. At the first shell
Chang Pei-lun jumped into his chair and
bottled as fast as possible to his yannen
at Foochow with relays Of coolies. leav-
ing his subordinates 10 their fate. For
this cowardice, after so much boasting OF
what he was going to do to the French,
he was cashiered in 1885 and banished to
the northern frontier. After three years
he was allowed to return to China, and
called upon Ii Hung Chang. who, in his
usual rough way. began to banter him on
his cowardice. Are you marriedg said
L. II am a Whoever replied Chang.
''Ahg said he, you want wife who
will put some spirit into you and make
a man OF you. II you had my daughter
for a wife she would soon make you OF
some use in the world" Chang instantly
went down on his knees and accepted
what he professed to regard as LIS Of
fer. and. Notwithstanding his apparent
contempt for the man. Ii. in his posi-
ton as vieeroy, could not take back lis
word, however carelessly spoken. Lady
Ii was furious at her daughter being
sacrificed TO such a craven, and threatens

There has been considerable discus- sion as to how the government would manage to suppress the unlicensed gambling which, some persons said, was sure to spring up as soon as the empioyes of the many gambling houses were thrown out of work. It is said tha. the lficials have solved this ticully by employing many of ss veterans of the gambling houses to watch the others and see that they do not violate the law.
