The Pool Of SLOAN.

For over ten years the Pool Of ST.
loan has been only name. Visitors
to Palestine who visited this famous
spot of late years found that it's heal
ing waters had vanished. This was
a great blow to the inhabitants, but re.
Gently the waters of Sloan have been
made to flow once again, and there
has been great rejoicing in the holy
land. It appears that Jerusalem has
been especially short Of water of late,
and it occurred to some of the inhabi-
tants Of Sloan to try to find out
whether the spring which used to
supply the pool was really dry. Tons
of accumulated rubbish were cleared
away, and after about a months work
the spring was found. The excavator,
discovered behind some fallen rocks
an old aqueduct running away into the
valley of the Kedron, and into this
aqueduct the beautiful, cool, clear
water had run and been wasting fol
years. Sunday Companion.

RETURN From Athens With Admiration
for American Skill.
The Norwegian contingent at the
Olympic games arrived at Christiania
on May Is and were received by a con-
course Of 10000 people, among whom
were King Haakon, Premier Nicholson
and other dignitaries. Premier Michel
sen welcomed the athletes and compli.
mented them for their success on the
Stadion. It will be recalled that the
Norwegian turner's won first prize in
the class turning against seven Of the
best teams in Europe, and g. G. Skat.
teboe secured the highest mark in the
rife shooting. The Norwegians did
not enter in the track and field events,
in which the Americans carried of all
the honors.
They were greatly interested in the
Americans and admired their feats Of
running and athletics very much. They
received their first introduction to the
American college yell and com--ented
upon it as something unique. The
American custom of encouraging con.
testants by vociferous cheering also
struck them with surprise.

This, however, the authority ex-
