On Jerusnlem's NnN.

Have you ever thought of seeing Jeru.
salem from its wall? The feat is easy Of
accomplishment, a good guide and a
strong heart and head hcing the only
requisites. The circuit is not entirely
complete, being broken at three or four
places, where you have to descend, to as.
cend again Mt another place. The excur-
sion is well worth the making. The
whole city lies Mt your feet. with its dirty
streets, its crowded buildings and its
domcd terraces.
When you reach that part Of the wall
which is connected with the temple area,
the scene becomes exquisite. You have
the clean paved Haram area. with its
porticoes, inches, arches, etc, on the one
hand, and the deep, gloomy valley of
Jehoshaphat, with Absalom's mausoleum
on the other. To walk here you must be
armed with a special permit from one of
the officials and Il zabtieh guard. 1t is
here that the wall attains its greatest
height, measuring from eight to ten
meters, while the rest measures only from
SIX to eight meters or even less. There is
narrow l+m just underneath the visible
battlements on which tourists can walk
without any fear of falling.-Travele

WEATHER PROPHETS.

Blow out n candle, and if the wick
continues long to smolder look for bad
weather. If it goes out quickly, the
weather will be fair.
The twelve days after Christmas in
dictate the weather for the following
year. Each day in order shows the
weather for one month.
When it begins to snow, notice the
size of the flakes. If they are very
fine, the storm will be long one; if
large, the storm will soon be over.
If the chickens come out while it
rains, it is a sign that the storm is to
be Il long one. If they stand around
under the shed, the storm will be short.
When the cattle lie down as soon as
they are turned out to pasture in the
morning, it is because they feel rhcu-
matte WEAKNESS in their bones, and you
can look for rain soon.
When a night passes and no dew
falls, it is sign it is going to rain.
This omen loses much of its mystery
when one remembers that dew has not
fallen because the night was clouded.
When you see the sun drawing water
at night, know that it will rain on the
morrow. ThGMun is said TO be draw
ing water when its rays can be seen
shining through riffs in distant clouds.

SOOTHING SHOPPING.
A Peaceful Experience mt the East
Morley General Emporium.

The exhausted shopper sank upon
the sofa, while from the open mouth
of her reversed Boston bag poured a
cascade of little parcels, freshly strug-
gled for at the Monday bargain coun-
tiers.
"Oh," she cried why does one have
to shop in the city? Everything is so

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In setting out an orchard keep to-
gether all trees of the same variety.
Good garden soil is good for pot
plants, but can be improved by the adj
dition of leaf mold.
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional
watering with liquid manure.
One advantage with small fruits is
that they can be made to furnish a
supply long before trees come into bear
ing.
In planting border don't plant every
thing in rows A row of hollyhocks,
for instance isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in general way too
little water is better than too much.
The dropping leaves indicating drought
are more easily remcdied than yellow
leaves, the result Of being kept too
wet
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces of broken pots or crockery in the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be
comes sour, the plants anguish and
the leaves become yelloWish

WEDDING SUPERSTlTIONS.

The bride should not fail to shed
few tears on her wedding day. 1t is
an omen of good luck in the future
1t is unlucky for the bride to enter
the church before the ceremony at one
door and leave after the ceremony by
another door
The bride should always cut the first
piece of her wedding cake and pour out
the first glass Of wine for her guests
if there are not too many.
If the bride drops her handkerchief
on the wedding day and the bride
groom picks it up, it is sign that in
the future lie will play second fiddle.
1t is said to be unlucky to tie shoes
TO any part of the carriage in which
the bride and bridegroom go away, but
it is lucky to throw an old shoe after
the bride as she enters the carriage
In leaving the church the bride will
do well to place her right foot fore
most if she wishes to be happy,
healthy, etc, in the future, and she
should always be the first to call her
husband by name.

LITERARY TREASURES.
Some which Have been and Some
which May BE Lost to View.

The world, we have been assured
time and again, knows nothing Of its
greatest men. Perhaps ii is equally il
norant about its greatest books Are
we quite sure that the idols in our lit
erary pantheon are arraycd in their
due order of precedence: The rules of
precedence change, and who shall as
sert that those prevalent at any given
time are the final ones: But. above
all. are we quite certain that there may
not be notable work of genius lying
unnoticcd and unknown amid the
wrecks of the river Of time. waiting
only for some lucky accident that shall
reveal it in all its beauty to an aston
ished world?
Such accidents with such results have
been frequent in the history of the
past. Indeed such accidents have pre-
served or have revealed TO the world
no insignificant proportion of its now
acknowledged masterpieces.
The books of the Bible themselves
have experienced the narrowest es-
capes from what might have resulted
in their total loss. The most notable
example is that of Deuteronomy, which
disappeared from the Jewish world for
over century. The story of its re
discovery by the high priest IIczekiah
during the reign of good King Josiah
is set forth in the Old Testament
Shakespeare was practically forgot
ten in the days when Addison wrote
his Account of the Greatest English
Poets" with never a mention of the
name Of the very greatest, yet it was
shortly afterward that Shakespeare
was resuScitated.

PICTURESQUE BRITTANY.
A Market Scene IN This Quaint
French Province.


French Province.
Brittany is a land where the peasants
till the earth in Zouaye trousers. torea-
dor jackets covered with arabesque
embroideries and green waistcoats
around which run lines of crimson.
The women wear short red skirts,
great medici collars and colts that flut-
ter about their heads like the wings Of
doves. From beneath the points of
their black caps, the children gaze at
you with wide eyes full of the curiosity
of animals.

sculptured granite and sleep in open

bieks of Egypt.

Patience with Eccentricity.

Many of the leading people in Eng
lish society regarded Thomas Carlyle
with feeling almost akin to revcrent
delight when he chose TO behave like
an ignorant boor in their drawing
rooms, even taking his seat, it is said,
unbidden in the presence of the queen.
This generation, however, has little pa
thence with such ecccntricitics.

Cold water with ice in it is the thing
to use when an accidental burn from
acids or alkaliS is encountered. Nitric
acid gets split at times, or even vitriol
may. a limb burned with acids must
be plunged in cold water and kept
there, so that the water may dilute

To Thread Hair Through n wnInu.

To Thread II Hair through walnut
To pass a hair through a walnut
without boring a hole seems an itnpos
sibility but the feat has often been
done. The huh of the walnut when
examined with a strong glass is seen
TO have iunumerable small openings,
some Of which lead entirely through

very fine hair and an infinite amount
Of patience. Pass the hair into one Of
