ON JORDAN's BANKS.
Curious Ceremony by Russian Pill
grims in the Holy Land.
London Traveller.

LONDON 1rdVeler.
The traveller in the Holy Land will wit
ness few sights which will interest him
more than that Of the Russian pilgrims at
the annual Epiphany ceremonies on the
banks of the River Jordan. A week before
the festival itself crowds of these Slav
peasants are seen trudging along the Jeri-
cho road with every imaginable kind of
haversack and carry-al on their backs.
Some of the pilgrims old and weather.
worn, others young and cheerful, while a
few, overcome by sleep and fatigue, are
lying prone along the roadside. But some
how the whole lot, young and DID, manage
TO reach the banks of the river in good
time for the ceremony. They spend the
night, perhaps, in the Russian hospice at
Jericho. where they simply huddle together
like a flock of sheep. Before dawn the
rooms are empty and the whole crowd has
gathered on the bank, where Greek priests,
who will presently drive most lucrative
trade, await them. The principal articles
sold are branches of trees from various
sacred spots stones from the Mountain of
Temptation hard by, plants from the will
derneSS and rosaries with olive stones for
beads. To whatever religious value is
claimed for these articles the Russian peas
ants implicitly give credence, and they will
ingly pay their money to obtain them.
During the hours Immediately preceding
the ceremony the motley crowd is occupied
in prayer and silent devotion. To many
pilgrims this occasion is one of the greatest
life can bring, namely. to be permitted not
only 10 visit the Jordan, but actually to
battle I'm its sacred waters. Suddenly chant

to let a procession OF purple-clad ecclesias-

the banks, eager and watchful And now,
quite reverently. a jeweled cross is laid by
the patriarch on the surface of the stream
to bless 1t. and no sooner does the sacred
symbol touch the water than dive is made

tism. and the longer il lasts the greater the

years. Just at the entrance to the park the
pink twin hit the blue twin a resounding

Then the little mother asserted herself

twin in hand. She told her in gentle tones,

Medicinal Properties of Vegetables.

Up to Date Farming.
Does the American farmer realize that
no mean consequence. Nature has her
own remedy for every i'll, and in most in
stances ii proves to be a growing plant or
vegetable.
inal prescriptions of nature can be filled.
Let us touch upon some of the more promi-
nent natural remedies in alphabetical sue
cession.
FIRST, the asparagus. which is a help in
cases of obdurate kidney trouble.
Beans, whose nerve and muscle-building
qualities are paramount, are found in every
garden.
Beets are a very succulent food. impart-
ing sugar. which helps digestion.
Cabbages are rather hard TO digest but
form gas in the stomach which is effec-
tive in cases of biliousness.
Carrots are good for kidney and bladder
trouble, being served at Vichy, Germany,
as an aid to the water cure.
Cauliflower is a member of the cabbage
family, and is materially the same, having
the same effect on the system.
Celery is composed of salts, etc, which
are laxative in their action. Celery is also
recommended in cases of rheumatism.
Cucumbers do not digest quickly, but are
used in cases of biliousness.
Lettuce is a watery vegetable whose
main medicinal property is for tonic.
Mustard is a thoroughly good emetic and
is also used in cases of Inflammation and
swelling
Peas are nutritious and act the same as
beans.
Potatoes rank next to wheat for a general
builder up and are so recognized by author
tiles.
The radish is a spicy vegetable which
evens and tones up the general vital organs.
Rhubarb is a good remedy, like celery,
for rheumatism.
Spinach is an acknowledged cure for blad-
der affections.
The tomato has powerful medical proper
ties, its acid assisting the gastric juices of
the stomach materially in digeSting food
So, if the above enumeration be correct,
does it not argue that gardening, even in
the sense of medicinal value, should be
propagated, extended and uniformly prac-
ticed?
No one denies the assertion that man can
exist on vegetable diet. Times without
number has it been tried and proved thor
oughly successful and beneficial. A few of
the simple home remedies in the time of
sickness are most generally the best possi-
BILE cures. When common vegetables are so
near and study their medicinal
value, we should take every disadvantage
they offer and assist nature to make us
healthy.

Growing the Sugar Beet.
Louisville Courier-Journal Oem.)

LOUISVILLE COurler-JOuFndl NDeIn)
The Crop Reporter published under the
authority of the federal secretary of agri-
culture, gives the acreage sown in sugar
beets for the current year. The total is
$50, 900 acres divided among eleven States.
OF these Michigan stands at the head.
with $4,000 acres California second, with
7l,234; Colorado third, with 39,449. These
three States, therefore, have four-fifths
of the total acreage, which is altogether
insignificant when compared with the areas
devoted to wheat or corn or other leading
crops. Five of the States have less than
5000 acres each in sugar beets.
Small as is this showing for the sugar
beet, it's representatives in Congress had
their own way in legislation They de-
fed the President. and they defeated the
hopes of hundreds of thousands of pro-
ducers who were anxious to get better
market in Cuba. 1t was predicted that
with proper encouragement the growth of
beets would be immensely augmented, but
the official returns of this years sowing,
which are probably inflated by a desire to
make them as imposing as possible, show

alter the opinion OF the directors that al
though wireless telegraphy would carry
certain class OF kilograms. such as those
between ships or between ships and the
shore, there was no reason apparent why
IL would compete in the class of kilograms
sent by cable companies. During a con-

and do not believe the shareholders of your
company need be alarmed at the prospect

Funeral services in memory of J. Watts,
the one time well-known jockey, were held
at Newmarket this afternoon in the pres

sent Lord Marcus Beresford especially to
represent him. Wreaths were also sent
by the King, Lord Rosebery. Sir Edgar
Vincent and others. Many notable persons
and almost the entire town of Newmarket
marched in the funeral procession. John
Watts was known as the grand old man"
of the English turf. although he was only
forty-one years old at the time of his death.
He rode the Derby winners four times in
ten years. In 1891 he rode ia winners.

Rudyard Kipling made characteristic
speech at the opening of miniatude rifle
range at Sydenham, County of Kent, to-
day. He said in the course of his remarks:
Recent experience has taught us that we
must not allow a whole population to grow
up in ignorance of shooting. Rife shooting
should be taught the same as are the A 3
C's. Such a course would not produce bar
barians. Everything must be 'subordinated
to shooting quickly
Mr.. kipling prophesied that the rife
range would soon exist throughout the
length and breadth of the land and that
those now being opened merely indicated
the beginning of a very large movement,
the end of which no man could foresee, the
force of which no man could limit. The
speaker concluded by expressing the hope
that the next time nations fit to love
England with that love of the past thirty
months, Englishmen might not be found
totally ignorant of those accomplishments
which, if they do not secure affection, Sc
cure respect"
