WATER RIGHTS lNWoLATE.
Springs ana Wells In Palestine Are
Protected by severe Laws.

Protected by Severe Laws.
Water is the most precious thing in
Palestine. and the laws which protect
springs and wells are very severe.
Most Of the wells are artificial. Rich
men at very great expense have chis
eled basins and reservoirs out of the
rocks to receive the flow from springs.
and in many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone a hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance 20
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheiks can afford
such an expenditure. Nevertheless,
they have not only been the greatest
bencfactors of their fellow men, but
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments TO
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts of granite.
The temple of Solomon has vanished
forever but the pools which he walled
up with masonry and filed with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham
and Jacob drilled in the rock as acts
Of piety as well as power are as i'm
mortal as their names and viii live for
ever as long as men feel thirst.
According to a just custom of the
country. water rights could never be
forfeited. No man who owned well
might refuse his neighbor water foI
his family or his nocks. but the lord
Of the spring was inviteate. No cred.
itor or enemy could take his water
rights away from him. To injure OF
I'll up a well was an unpardonablc
crime. When the phillstines threw
earth and stones into the well Of Abra
ham, they intended to challenge hin
to war of determination. These Gus
toms and regulations remain today

THE ARABS OF YEMEN.

A story which Throws Strong
Light ON Their Character.
The Times Of India tells the follow
ing story to show the character Of the
Arabs Of Yemen. A man of Zaraniks
who several times cut the telegraph
lines and who was punished more than
once was caught on one occasion by
an Arab sheilI in charge Of the lines.
The sheik intended to send him to
Needy for Imprisonment, but the wife
Of the accused came in and stood as a
guarantee for his future good behavior.
The sheik accepted the bail and re-
leased him, but shortly afterward he
again resorted to his old practice OF
cutting the wires and bolted away to
another village at a distance Of a days
march, where he had another wife.
The sheik then sent for his first wife,
who stood security for him, and told
her he would disgrace her among the
Arabs if she failed to bring in her hus-
band.
The woman asked the sheik not to
spread the black sheet "a custom Of
the country when any one commits q
breach Of trusO until the following
day. She started that night, taking q
sharp dagger concealed under her
clothes, to the village where her hus-
band was staying. She found him
asleep in his abode and stabbed him,
cut his throat and carried his head
back to her home. The next morning
she went to the sheik and presented
the head of her husband. saying: Here
is your criminal, and l am freed from
the bail. Please do not afiix the black
sheet."-London Telegraph.

No Apples Scab-cr0oe.

George P. Clinton, of the Illinois
Agricultural College, in an article on
apple scab, says: There appears, to
be no such thing as a scab-proof varie-
ty. Various writer's have recorded OBJ
servations showing that certain varie-
ties have been more severely injured
than others and there is no doubt that
this is the case. 1t is very likely tuat
such differences are due in large part
to the thinner or more easily pune
tured cuticles of the scabbier varieties.
The writer has also observed that scab
is a lover Of neglected orchards-or-
chards which have not been properly
sprayed, pruned, or cultivatedAano
that it seems to be less abundant on
very young trees, especially where
such trees are isolated. This latter
is probably due to less favorable con-
ditions for original infection.

Nurses Experience,

Medical men say that a good nurse
in difficult case is better than med
iclne, but when we can get a good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands 4 much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
we'll worthy the attention of all
readers:
IL have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations I have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-well rubbed in. l can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience. 1t should be in every
household"
Sister CAROLINA. St. Andrews Hospital,
writes: II have found St. Jacobs Oil most
shcacious remedy in govt also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly"
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1902-05-03
Tree Planting.

One of the most important and
promising lines of work of the Bureau
Of Forestry is it's study of economic
tree planting and it's cooperation with
farmers and others in making forest
plantations. Tree planting has so vi
tai and intimate relation to the well
fare of the farmer in the treeless re-
gions that whatever assists him to
grow trees assists him also in the pro-
duction of every other crop. Forty-six
thousand one hundred and forty-fve
acres were examined for planting dur
ing the year, and planting plans were
prepared for 5,7S5 acres, while 14S ap-
plications for tree-planting plans have
been received. The number of appli-
cations for commercial plantations Of
large size is increasing so rapidly that
the usefulness Of the practical assist
ance and advice offered to the tree
planters will be limited only by the
men and money available for the work.
A series Of important measurements of
the growth of pla1 ted groves in the
treeless plains has teen begun in order
to show the value OF plantations as
business investments. A careful study
has been pushed during the year of the
encroachment Of forests on the West
ern plains In order to determine the
possibility of retaining portions of
non-agricultural government land by
planting forests.
