LAND OF SHEPHERDS
LARGE rLocks or PALESTINE.

They Craze on the Hills on Both slides
Of the Jerdan-shsphsrds Rsssn-
BILE Those Described In the Bible
Sheep Intimately Connected With
the History Of the Holy Land.
The Holy Land In n shepherds coun-
try and abounds In sheep. The hills on
both sides of the Jordan are covered
with fiocks and at this time Of the year
they find excellent grazing, writes q
recent traveller In the East As we
ride along through this part of Pales-
tine we often meet large flocks upon
their way from the far interior, the
ranges In the valley OF the Euphrates,
from the other side OF JortlOn, from
the green fields OF Eden." which are
being driven for sale to the sea coast.
1t Is customary for the shepherds OF
the interior to select certain portion
Of their fiocks for this purpose In the
spring Of each year. In dress, man.
ners, language and customs. the shep-
herds closely resemble those Of Abra-
ham. lsaac and Jacob. and they handle
their drove In the same way. putting
space betwixt drove and Drove" as
Jacob did and leading the young lambs
softly.
II overdriven the animals are likely
to die and at least their flesh will be
worthless for mutton. The weary ones
are sold on the waysIde or are killed
and eaten by the shepherds themselves.
The focks grow smaller as they go
farther south, because mt nearly every
village and town and often at the farm
ing settlements few are sold. Pales-
tine has always been great place
for sheep. The Bible tells us that Job
had a flock of 14.OOO: Solomon sacri-
feed 10000 sheep at the dedication
of the temple: when Moses Overcame
INDIAN the spoils OF battle were 5OO,-
| 600 sheep, 1900 cattle. and $1,000
asses; the King OF Moab gave the King
of Israel ms tribute annually 100000
lambs and 100000 rams, with their
| wool.
Nor will these figures seem excessive
when considered In connection with the
enormous wool industry of Palestine
to-day. More than 1O,0OO.OOO pounds
of wool are exported annually from
Beyroot. From the neighboring sea-
ports 1t is the principal export and
from Jaffn they send about f1O0.OO0 in
values each year. When the children
of Israel entered the promised land

a large multitude of cattle. recognized
| the value of these pastures and asked
/ for them. 1t was here that Christ got
the ideas for his parallels concerning
the sheep: here he first called himself
the Good Shepherd and looking be-
yond the plains to the vineyards upon
the hillside, he called himself the True
Vine. Here we see the sweetest poetry
Of Jewish life, the lovcliest pictures
that have ever been pointed concern
ing the pastoral habits of the people
and any traveller who drives through
that region will realize the influence
Of shepherd life upon the Jewish imag-
ination.

THE METEOR III

New York. March 31.-Meteor III, tht
German Emperor's yacht, was damaged

The yacht ran below the narrows and
coming about stood up the bay at 2.1o
o'clock. She went about again at 2.20

At $50 o'clock, the Meteor was heading

WATERVILLE.
Water Is Making Things Lively.

The prOtracted spell of wet weather
has caused no end of trouble in the
street department of the city. The rain
has come so fast and so steadily that
the ground has been unable to take
care of it and the low places have been
hooded, culverts washed out and cave
ms of more or less severity caused all
over the city. The Mesalonskee has
been away up in G for several days and
has been having lots of sport with the
boat houses. One man went over, Sun
day. to see how his boat and house were
resting and found them in some danger.
He didn't care to get his feet wet, for
that might start u cold, so he stripped
and went in. If the cold water cure is
any good he ought to be immune from
all disease for many years to come. He
was all right, yesterday, however, and
his boat house was saved.
The Kennebec is at a freshet pitch
but there is little danger of serious
damage, as there is no ice afioat now.
The logs have not yet commenced to
run. so there is nothing to cause jams
and back water. Some of the back
doOryards down at the Head of the
Falls are afloat and there is a slight
smell of dampness in some of the base
ments in that vicinity, but nothing is
missing so far.
Some of the lumbermen are getting
crews of drivers into the woods to take
advantage of the rise. The Lawrence,
Newhall & Page Co. has a crew in on
Alder stream and it is expected that
the men will be able to get good start
on the rise. Other crews are being
hustled in as rapidly as possible. as the
prospect for driving is not very bright,
this spring, and every opportunity
must be improved.
