LAND OF SHEPHERDS
LARGE rLocks OF PALESTINE.

They Craze on the Hills on Both Sides
Of the Jordan-sh epherds Resem-
BILE Those Described in the Bible
sheep intimately Connected With
the History Of the Holy Land.
The Holy Land is shepherds coun-
try and abounds in sheep. The hills on
both sides of the Jordan are covered
with hocks and at this time of the year
they find excellent grazing, writes a
recent traveller in the East. AS we
ride along through this part of Pales-
tine we often meet large fiocks upon
their way from the far interior, the
ranges In the valley of the Euphrates,
from the other side of Jordon, 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 a certain portion
of their flocks 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, Isaac and Jacob, and they handle
their drove In the same way. putting
a 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 hocks grow smaller as they go
farther south, because at 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, 72,OOO cattle. and 81. 600
asses: the King of Moab gave the King
of Israel as tribute annually 10000
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.OO0, 600 pounds
OF wool are exported annually from
Beyroot. From the neighboring sea-
ports 1t Is the principal export and
from Jana they send about f10O,O1O in
values each year. When the children
of Israel entered the promised land
the tribe Of Reuben and Cad. who had
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 loveliest 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.

One Sure sion.

A story illustrating the hard-he cad
edness and sheer common sense of
the late DIR. McCosh. the noted dean
of the faculty of Princeton Univer.
sity. was told recently. He made
the acquaintance of couple of
Scotsmen who worked as farm hands
on an estate near Princeton. and.
learning that they did not go to
church, hauled them over the Goals
for backsliding and induced them to
attend Sunday services regularly.
They were simple-minded men. with
Immense respect for the venerable In.

they had had quarrel as to the sigl
OF hearing the first cuckoo OF the
season. Jamie had said that 1t was a
sign that the one who heard 1t would
speedily marry: Sandy declared 1t was
sign that the hearer would get
speedily rich.

WOES OF GERMAN OFFICERS.
Matrimonial snass in the Path of.kai-
ser's Soldiers.


AS censor of military marriages.
German Emperor William has defined
what manner of wedlock is permits
sible to Prussian officers and what
marriages are 'strengthily under
said" His new order states that an
officer with $1,125 a year must have a
private income of 1915 in order TO
marry. A district officer of gendarmes
must add private means Of $525 year
to a salary of 5000 to win the privil-
ege. Officers who haven't $3.50 pay
mustn't marry at all.
The kaiser's is the busiest matri-
monial bureau in the world. Each
officer who desires to double his
duties and halvs his rights" must
state his prospective father-in-law's
business and tell whether the lady is
latter case why. Proofs must be in
closed of her income. education and
repute. II there is no obstacle. social
or military. the wedding bells may
then peal out their marry note.
Interest rates upon such German
investments as the ''kingly and kaiser
ly" bureau will accept are low. A
young fellow practically must have
$4,000 to $4,000 in his own name
before he can think Of matrimony. II
the loyelorn one has not the cash
well. in that case he can give up his
commission and come to a country
where he may marry on nothing q
year II he likes.
