is one of the ardent advocates OF
hegira of the Jews to their ancient
home. Jews are certainly pouring into
Palestine from all over Europe. But
the consuls in Jerusalem doubt the de-
STABILITY of this movement; they say
that the Jewish colonists are failures
as agriculturists, and seem 10 sue
coed only as shopkeepers or money
changers. And one certainly sees more
Jewish money-changers thaa Turkish,
although it would seem fitting for the
business of changing Turkish money
TO be in the hands of Turkish money
changers, Perhaps the Turks do not
understand the Turkish money as well
as the Jews do. Here is a brief re-
sumo of some of its eccentricities:
The Turkish gold unit is the Ira, or
pound worth about 50; the Turkish
. cents. When we We're in Turkey the
Ira was thus quoted: In CONSTANT
nople, 100 piasters; in Beirut. 123 pias-
,ers; in Jaffa, 141 piasters; in Jerusa-
lem, 124 piasters; in Damascus, 129
piasters. To this must be added the
further fact that even these values
tiuctuated from day to day with the
fluctuations in exchange of Turkish
silver This is about the same as it
would be if our American gold piece
called the half eagle were worth on
the same day 50 in New York. $5.25 in
Chicago, $3.50 in Omaha. $500 in Salt
Lake and $685. in San Francisco. If l
add to the foregoing that the Turkish
metallic currency (metallik) current in
Constantinople is uncurrent in every
other Turkish city: If ! state that the
value of the Turkish pound is quoted
differently in buying different com
modities; if l say that the foregoing is
merely the government rate of eX-
change and that there is a commercial
rate of exchange which is different; if
/ remark that the four foreign post
offices in Jerusalem have a rate of eX-
change of their own, which also diff
fers; if / set down the curious fact
that the railway companies recognize
none of these rates or exchange. but
have a rate of their own also--I may
not be believed. but nevertheless t is
entirely true.

Dead shots Are AIlnenr.

Il see You are a rifle shot" remark
ed Philosopher Simeon Ford to a man
who after a good deal of sparring for
place at last sat down in the hotel cor
ridor by the side of New York's land
lord orator.
How do you rake that out?" asked
MIR. 0rd's compancn.
"Oh, easy enough. You are deaf in
your left ear. All rife shots are deaf
in their left ears. All the Creedmoor
experts are that way. l am deaf in
my left ear myself and got it shoot
ing rifles. l met Gildersleeve once
and / was backing and filling and
lodging to get a position where my
right ear would bear on him and he
was maneuvering at the same time for
an opening where he could rake me
with his right ear. Then Gildersleeve
said to me. rs | have just said TO you,
that he observed | was a rifle shot.
1t was the first time l had heard that
all rite shots were deaf in their left
ears. but l have noticed it ever since
and know it is true.
The reason of it is that all the
conclusion of the rifle explosion comes
on the left ear drum. The right ear
is partly urned away and partly pro-
tected by the gunstock being brought
up to the cheek when the gun is fiyed."

Wall street Thursday passed through
the worst panic it had seen since the
terrible crash of May 8, 1901-the day

The panic began in New York when
the suspension Of w. +. Badeau of the
Consolidated Exchange was announced
The suspension came after the weakness
had been strcnuouely contested by sup

violent and frequent. Toward the end
of the FIRST hour support seemed to be
abandoned and prices slumped through

alarmed brokers precpitated heavy liqui-
dation in all directions.

Artistic needlework has not kept

to have the development which might
be expected from it. considering its
possibilities. Embroidery-tha is to
say, the ornamentatiou of textiles with

a point almost amounting to perfection,
but these textiles are all ethereal crea-
tons, dependent upon their freshness

of the claims, however, said the at

period at least two banks have taken
