~JERUSALEM's RUINS.



The Greek Catholic monks, who are
in possession Of the chief portion of
the church of the Holy Sepulcher. are
now going to build a bazaar opposite
il. where pilgrims may purchase SOU
venirs of their visit to Jerusalem. Dur
ing the process of clearing the site
the foundations of an old medieval
church. forty meters long and thirty
wide, with three apses. were discov-
cred. A number of fine capitals. frag-
ments OF basalt pillars and bas-reliefs.
with symbolic animals. were found. ali
these remains having, doubtless. be-
longed to the choir of the church. Last
year a valuable silver shrine. contain
ing a piece of the holy cross and relics
OF the Apostles Peter and Paul-ac-
cording. at least, to the inscriptions
on them-was discovered at the same
place. The patriarch of Jerusalem. it
is said, is keeping other discoveries Sc
cret. owing to his dislike OF the Ro-
man Catholic church. Those men
toned above are all the more impor-
tant as it can be ascertained to what
church they belonged. According to
the statement of a medieval traveller.
the hospice and the monastery, which
the citizens of Amalfi founded about
the year $40. as a refuge for Western
pilgrims. was situated due south Of the
Holy Sepulcher. about a stones throw
away. The first church was built in
honor of St. Mary de Latins, 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 $40, highly praised
the hospitality and the large library Of
the hospice. A Mohammedan histo-
rian says it vas destroyed by the
Khalif Hakem and rebuilt shortly aft
er~ard; while. according to another
account, it prospered down to the time
of King Baldwin of Jerusalem. from
, 100 to Ills. when the two
ties 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. 1t Is most unfortunate
that the preservation of these very in
teresting remains seems impossible.

SALARIES.

The current number of Worlds Work
contains an article on teachers sal
aries that should be read by all taXpay-
ers as well as school teachers. 1t is
a plea for higher salaries. There is
no question but that the teacher re
ceives too little pay for the time md
arduous toll required. The work of a
teacher IS a constant strain upon the
mind an the nerves and they break
down physically before their time.
Those Lady teachers who have not been
%fortunat" enough to secure a .rod huS-
band during the period of teaching
must retire from work at what should
be the prime of life without a compe-
tence. fpr the reason that their salaries
are too small for them to save any
thing. After school days are over they
must !epend upon the charity of rela-
tives. This is all wrong. In the teach
er hi-h talent is demanded and good
pay -hould follow as a matter of
ours. Teachers are compelled to
dress better imam tnOSe OF otueT call
ings and they are naturally supposed
to ta..e enough interest in social mat
tiers % be leaders therein. Particular
ly is this true in the west. Suppose a
teacher gets $50 per month for
nine months in the year. and this is
NOR than the average. a total of $40
per annum is received. This is not
moro than enough to give the average
person a bare living and those other
necessities a teacher requires. such as
hoo&s. travel. etc.
IL Greater New York there is a law
providing that no school teacher shall
receive less than 5000 per annum 1t
has been opposed several times, but in
the courts the teachers have always
been able to maintain its constitution
ality. The result is that the profes,
sion has a higher standing. and teach
ers in Greater New York have better
opportunities than those of other
places.
In Wyoming the cost Of living is
greater than in New York and teach
ers here should certainly receive no
less in salary.
