LILLE CHANGE IN BETHLEHEM
Points of Sacred Interest Have Eeen

The hills of Bethlehem are full of
caves natural and artificial = and
many of them have historic signif-

which Joseph and Mary are said to
have concealed themselves before
their flight. into Egypt to escape the
evil designs Of Herod. The snowy
whiteness Of the soft chalk out of
which it is hewn IS ascribed to the
spilling of a few drops of the Virgin s
milk when she nursed the infant
Jesus. Another grotto is pointed out
as that in which ST. Jerome, for more
than thirty years. led the life of g
hermit, when bitter factional dissen-
sions had forced him to leave Rome.
On western hiD a rock-strewn
plateau, around which stately tere-
binths stand guard, marks a place
where the ancient Hebrews brought
their sacrifices unto the Lord. 1t is

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

IN the opinion of one who has trav-
eled much and observed closely, the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world, with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir-
tied Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin-
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem
mime helpmeet; cringing to no en-
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is a
question whether he more than dimly

A Tribute to the Farmer.

A distinguished scholar and farmer
is quoted in the Words Work as hav-
ing paid this eloquent and. on the

Farming is a profession requiring
more shrewdness thaa l1w. more tech
nical training than medicine, more up
rightness than theology. more brains
and resourcefulness than pedagogy.
The other professions are parasites. .

Immense Leaves of Palm.

The palm family bears longer
leaves than any other known tree.
The Inaga palm, growing on the
banks of the Amazon, has leaves
which reach from 35 to SO feet in
length, and 10 to II feet in breadth.
Specimens of the talepot palm, ma
dive of Ceylon, has been met with 20
feet long and Is feet broad. These
leaves are used by the natives to
make tents, and, thus employed, they
make very efficient shelters from rain.
The leaves of the double cocoanut
palm are often 80 feet long and sew
eral wide. The leaves of the canni-
bal tree of Australia resemble broad
planks and are frequently 10 feet
long 20 inches broad and ~ feet
thick at the base. These boardlike
leaves all shoot out at the top and
hang down so as to form a sort of
umbrella around the stem. The UNI
brella tree of Ceylon has leaves of
such enormous size that a single one
will cover from Is to 20 men, and
often serves as a canopy to boat,
or a tent for soldiers. A specimen
leaf taken to England measured SO
feet round.

writes:
"Hy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all

Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful SO l could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
I took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
But / took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used a cup of

change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after l began Pos

them good, which can't be said of
coffee.
"A lady visited us who was always

Doq-Watch on shipboard.

Dog-watch is a corruption of dodge
watch, and is the name given to two
short watches of two hours each on
shipboard-one from to p. m. and
the other from to p. m. The dog
watches were introduced to prevent
the same men from always keeping
watch at the same hours of the day;
hence on these occasions the sailors
are said to dodge the routine, or to be
