RUINS OF OLD JERUSALEM.
Valuable Relics of Antiquity Un- enrthed in Excavating in the
 Holy City.

The Greek Catholic monks, who are in possession of the chief portions of the church of the Holy Sepulcher, are now going to build a bazar opposite it, where pilgrims may purchase souve- mfrs of their visit to Jerusalem. Dur ing the process of clearing the site the foundations of an old medieval church.. 40 meters long and 30 wide, with three apses, were discovered, says the London Standard. A number of fine capitals, fragments of basalt pill lars, and bas-reliefs, with symbolic an- imals, were found, all these remains having doubtless belonged to the choir of the church. Last year valuable silver shrine, containing piece of the holy cross and relics of the Apostles Peter and Paul-according, at least, to the inscriptions on them-was found at tie same place.
 The patriarch of Jerusalem, it is said, is keeping other discoveries ge- cret, owing to his dislike of the Roman Catholic chuFch. Those mentioned above are all the more important, as it can be ascertained to what church they belonged. According to the statement of medieval traveller the hospice and the monastery which the citizens of A1nalf founded about the year $40, as refuge for western pill grims, were situated due south of the holy sepulcher, about a stones throw away. The first church was built in honor of St. Mary de Latinis, and the second, the ruins of which have now been found, in honor of St. John the Baptist. The French monk Bernard, who lived there in 87o, highly praised the hospitality and the large library of the hospice. A Mohammedan historian gays it was destroyed by the Khalif Ha- kem, and rebuilt shortly afterward, while, according to another account, it prospered down to the time of King Baldwin, of Jerusalem, from 1100 to HIS, when the two communities of St. Mary and St. John adopted the latter as their joint protector. This was, the origin Of the Knights of St. John. The remains now discovered, therefore, are the ruins of the cradle of this order. It is most unfortunate that the preserya- ton of these very interesting remains seems impossible, owing to the ill-feel- ing which exists between the Greeks and Roman Catholics in Jerusalem.

Rorr Bacteria Fly.

It is an extremely difficult matter to get away from bacteria if any are in your neighborhood. If you want to avoid danger from the disease giving growth the only safety is in keeping your system in as healthy condition as possible, so that they cannot obtain a dangerous Judgement. Though these micro-organisn cannot fly they are always ready to monntany vehicle tIiat is going your way. The wings of the wind serve their purpose excellently we'll. as Prof. F. J. McWeeney, Of Dub lin, recently demonstrated. He select ed nicro-organ anisms not normally pres ent in the Dublin air and scattered them with a spray over a refuse heap. He then placed culture dishes to wind- ward, 500 feet away, and some of them 60 feet in the air. After three hours he found that bacteria had been car ried to every one of the dishes.-N. Y. Herald.

EARLIEST USES OF TOBACCO.
Introduced in Europe by Francis can Friar in 1494 in the Form
 of Snu1f.

Tobacco was first used in Europe as kind of rude antiseptic and pre-. venter of infection, and in the West Indies, northern America and Africa the inhaling of the dried and pow. dered tobacco leaf was practiced long before the herb was known in Flu rope, according to a writer in the De tfoit News-Tribune. The same is probably true of smoking. The use of tobacco was introduced into Flu rope by Francescan friar named Ramon Pane, who accompanied Go ln1nbus on his second voyage to the West Indies in 1904. He was sent ashore at Cuba in charge of an ex- ploring expedition, and reported on his return that he had found the natives snuffing this powdered herb which they did through a short, hca. low cane. He introduced the practice into Europe, but it was not until 1860 that the plant was cultivated in Europe.
 Jean Nicot, who had been British ambassador at Lisbon, began tobac. co growing in France in that year. and through this circumstance the herb got it's name nicotine. Snuff was first used as relief from ca tarrh and stoppages of the nasal pas sages, and the first parsonage tc make the use of it popular was the famous Catherine de Medici, and her son, Charles ", also used it as a relief from chronic headache. The great Catherine's patronage caused snuff to be called "IIerbe Ia Reine.' : It became enormously popular as a preventive in England after the great plague of 1860.

A PREACHER IN QUEENSLAND.
The Strange Reception of White
 Minister at the Hands of q - Group of Natives. x

Tn a recent book Edward B. Kennedy thus describes the welcome given by black natives of Queensland to white preacher who visited them: "A black fellow came up to me and placing his hand gently on;the bride of my horse, nodded his head in the direction of my friend, with That fellow priest l aoreed; upon which, sinking his voice to a mysterious and hoarse whisper. he proceeded: 'Budgery. That fel- low like it put on shirt over trousel, get a top O waddy, and yabber bout debil. debil;' which, rendered in plain English. reads: Good. That man puts his shirt on oyer bis trousers, gets top of wood, or pulpit, and talks about devil, devil Before l could make any remark upon this new and startling manner of describing a preacher, the wE ole mob of blacks. who had been listening to the infor- nation vouchsafed me, commenced to dance about with joy at having par son; and we soon found out the req. son, for my instructor, signing to the others to be quiet, struck an attitude. then turned to his reverence with an air of pride and satisfaction, and thus addressed him: You give mine tix- pence mine say lorsprer tin commands burgery quick all same white fellow which meant: Give me six-pence, I'll say the Lords prayer and ten com
 nandments spIendidly quick as a white man does ill church. Then, without moments hesitation, he rat. tied off like lightning, as far as we could follow him, a page of the church service, throwing in a few responses here and there. The parson looked grave, as the black, the very second he had concluded, held out his hand for sixpence, and upon the coin being refused him evidently considered that he had not spoken his piece fast enough, for he called up another member. of his tribe, saying as he pushed him forward: / This fellow cabon quick one shillin'.' This man very quick, one shilling"

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
Although Shnrp and Cautious the Wildcat Has Not Good Mem
 ory for Traps.

Our almost extinct wildcat is beast which for want of memory has not been able to hold its own. While the 6ox and the badger, especially the lat ter, are adopts at avoiding traps, the wildcat seems quite unable to keep out of them, says the London Spec tator. Yet the glutton, another car nivore of the northern forests, with. out any apparent brain endowment of the positive kind, has learned the whole art of trapping so successfully that it will follow along . whole line of 40 miles of traps, break into every one from behind and carry off the baits without being caught. In the same way the baboons of Africa, whether north or south, maintain themselves in Q locality in their full numbers long after most other creatures of equal size have disappeared. The part of the Matoppo hills in which MT. Rhodes tomb is cut i'll the rocks is deserted by the Matabeles because, as they are now disarmed, the balloons carry off all their corn and pumpkins.
 The rat and the rabbit are not very different in point of fecundity. But while the rabbit, except on very favor able soil, disappears in cultivated country like England, where it is not afforded any protection, the rat is practically master of the situation, so greatly does his power of individual experience, and probably also of com munication, exceed that of the other rodent. It can hardly be an accident that the gray parrot, one of the clever est and most thoughtful of birds, is by far the longest-lived. There is an un- doubted instance of this bird surviving for century, and half that time Is quite common age. But in the case of birds so many other considerations than those of brain intervene in deter mining what leads to longevity that only vague generalizations are pos sible. Size, food and species all have their known results on the duration known to live for 40 years, Spanish i'm perial eagles to nearly that age, an Egyptian vulture to 42, ravens for 20 years and swans for nearly as long. But it is fairly safe inference that the life of birds is, in proportion to their size, longer than that of mann mals. Comparing the general average of brain power, that of birds is much higher than among the average beasts; and it is quite probable that it is this. excess of brain vitality which gives the birds also an excess in bodily vitality.

Kitty had been told that the thun- der was the voice of "the good man up in the sky" warning her to run into the house to avoid the rain, and on one or two occasions she had failed to heed the warning, and suf- fered unpleasant consequences.
 She was playing out of doors tho other morning when there came n clap of distant thunder. She dropped everything and scudded into the house, but the rain failed to come. After waiting till she became impa- tient she went to the door, looked up at the clouds, and called out:

FARMERS IN CANADA.
Great Rush to the Northwestern Ter rhtory of the Dominion in
 LaAt Two Years.

z The extent to which emigration from the United States to the north. west part of Canada has developed within the last lustrum is one of the most remarkable facts in the recent history of the dominion, says the Lon
 don News. It is almost suggestive oi gold "rush."r Lord Burghclere stated in the house of commons recently that last year the number of settlers from the states was 50,000; this year it was calculated at 100000. This would in deed be start ting if it were true. 1t would suggest an toutlander" problem of vast proportions for Canada. But the facts, though striking, are not SC startling as Lord Burghclere indicated. The emigration began in 1897 with a modest total of 712. This handful of pioneers was followed the next year by 9,119, and since then there has been a steady increase, until the figures for the present year, so far as it has gone stand at 24,100. We have heard much of the American invansion" of Eng land, but it has been the invasion of money and methods. The American invasion of Canada is a more serious affair. It is the invasion of men who will become voters and taxpayers, and who will permeate the country with American sentiment and American preferences. Perhaps tn most signifi. can't feature of the matter is that there should be this great stream oi immigration from the states. We have been so. accustomed to regard that land as the land of the immigrant that we need to revise our impressions now that it is becoming the land of the smigrant also. ....~~sl
