The spl,it of Re.tle..ne.. ana tho
Desire For Change.


Desire For Change.
) Jrdging by good deal OF the cnn-
versation of the present day, there are
a large number of people who have a
positive horror of home. This curious
revulslon of feeling is taken by many
persons us u sign of social dcteriora-
ton. For our own part we find 1t diff
/. cult to take it. quite seriously or to see
In 1t anything more than a passing
within.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony.
Change Is what people desire-not per-
haps any great change, but lots OF
small change: not necessarily for the
better, but for its own sake. Now.
there is a great sameness about ones
own -four walls. be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times an overpow-
erIng desire to look ut something else.
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day. and neither
they nor the home furniture ever seems
to alter In expression.
Again, there is u terrible sameness
about ones own cook. Experience ena-
bles us to foretell the taste of every
thing at home, from the soup to the sa-
worry II we are rich aud from the nut
ton to the cheese II we are poor;
whereas IL we dine Mt restaurant
everything down to the salt is differ
ent. and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces
Then, again. the music md stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation, and conversation
In the home circle is sometimes dill
cult and sometimes dull. 1t does not do
always just to say what one thinks. 1t
is such bad practice for dining out,
and. this being the case it is not easy
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get, socially speaking,
tired Of our friends and even of our ac-
quaintances. We want them to pass
continually before US like street pro-
cession. Instead of TINT they rather
resemble stage crowd and keep CON-
ing up again. There is limit to those
we know. a limit even to those We
should like or should be likely to know
even by siG,t, and at restaurant TINS
latter limit is disrcGarded. The barrier
of good manners which forbids that
those who sre acquainted with one an
other shou.d speak is sufficient to pro.
tect our station or our dignity. but It
is not a very high fence, and 1t is one
which It is amusing to look overflow
don Spectator.

One day the doctor in charge was

Our delicate embroidered cozics can
be kept in their original freshness for
long time when covered with de.
tachablc linen cover, white or colored,

moved when required to be washed
and replaced by another linen one, and
a linen cover will be found invaluable
also for hiding outside defects in an
old coy which for associations of the
giver or through being not worn
enough we hesitate to throw away.

WATER RIGHTS INVloLATE:
springs and Wells In Palestine Are
Protected by Severe Laws.


Protected by Severe Laws.
Water is the most precious thing in
Palestine, and the laws which protect
springs and wells are very severe.
Most OF the wells are artificial. Rich
men at very great expense have CHS
eled basins and reservoirs out of the
rocks to receive the flow from springs.
and In many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance to
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheiks can afford
such IN expenditure. Nevertheless.
they have not only been the greatest
bencfactors of their fellow men, but
those who have sunk wells and built
, fountains have erected monuments to
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts of granite.
The temple of Solomon has vanished
forever, but the pools which he walled
up with masonry and filed with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham
and Jacob drilled in the rock as acts
of picty as well rs power are as i'm.
mortalas their names and will live for
ever as long as men feel thirst.
According to just custom of the
country, water rights could never be
forfeited. No man WHO owned well
might refuse his ncigllbor water for
his family or his flocks. but the lord
of the spring was inviolate. No cred
itor or enemy could take his water
rights away from him. To injure or
fill up well was an unpardonable
crime. When the Philistines threw
earth and stones into the we'll of Abra'
ham, they intended to challenge him
to n war of extermination. These Gus
toms and regulations remain today

KLONplkE GOLD OUTPUT.

reports from that far northern mining
