The builders had thousands of work.
men to help them, and the hill was built.
1t measured 400 feet on each side al the
base, and it rose higher than the city
walls 1t was built up in the form OF
great steps or terraces. These were
built on beautiful pillars, and on the
tops great big fiat stones, sixteen feet
long and four feet wide, were laid. Thus
a floor was laid as foundation for the
next terrace And so the hill was built,
each terrace being smaller than the one
beneath so that the whole was some>
thing in the form of a pyramid, smaller
at the top than at the bottom.
Upon each terrace mating was laid,
then sheets of lead, and on this the earth
was piled in which the trees were
planted. At the top was reservoir for
water brought from the River Euph-
rates This was wanted for the trees.
and when the latter were planted on
the terraces the whole structure had the
appearance of solid hill covered with
rich vegetation.
The Queen was more than satisfied
when the hanging gardens were finished.
She was delighted, and she no longer
sighed for her mountain home.
81 am proud Of my gardens in the
air." she said.

The Gardens Of Babylon

One of the seven wonders OF the world
in ancient times was the Garden OF
Babylon. 1t was no ordinary garden,
such as you might see nowadays at
Kew, or in the Botanical Gardens at
Regent s park, and other places. 1t was
not a collection of beautiful flowers and
shrubs and trees Of different kinds,
brought from various parts OF the world
and re-planted. The Garden Of Baby
lon was called Hanging Garden. 1t
was the only one Of its kind in the world
and l do not think there has ever been
another like it.
From the distance, and from outside
the walls of the city, it looked like
hill thickly covered with fine trees to the
very top, and it was only when people
were quite close to it that they could
see it was not a natural hill. 1t was
made by men. 1t was really marvel
Gus building in imitation Of a thickly
wooded hill.
Nebuchadnezzar, the wicked king who
destroyed Jerusalem, and Of whom you
have read in the Bible, had it built.
The story goes that he had a wife,
named Amytis, who came from the
mountainous country of Media. She was
disappointed with the very fiat appear
ance of the country round about the city
of Babylon 1t was big, uninteresting
plain, and the queen grew very home
sick
''I miss the beautiful green noun
tains of my native home" she said to
the king. 81 shall die here.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT was very much trou-
bled when he heard this. Babylon was
big city of great buildings and many
streets The queen, who loved the noun
tains, the forests and the open air, said
it was ugly and sitting.
81 cannot breathe here, she cried.
cit chokes me. If you would have me
live, build me a mountain covered with
beautiful trees"
"The queens commands must be
obeyed,'' said Nebuchadnezzar, and he
summoned his magicians and asked their
advice They were taken by surprise
"Ask us to change serpents INTO rods
and we shall do it, as did the wise men
of Egypt" they replied, "but noun
tain is beyond our powers
One of them, cIeverer than the rest,
however. said to the King: 'You need
no magician to crafty the Queens de-
sire. You have builders of great skill.
Bid them erect huge structure, cover
it with earth and plant there the trees
which her majesty is anxious to see"
''It is well, - said the King. g 1t shall
be done,''

has vet been, because he has the courage
Of the Judaism which is within him.
Indeed, it may be said that there is a
peculiar timelness in these ideas, eter-
nal though they be. The main source
of social and national evil i'll our own
time is the loss of respect for the cle-
mentary virtues. The great economic
vice of the day is extravaganza, the I'M
patience that desires the fruit before the
seed is matured. Such social evils as
have given rise to the ''divorce ques-
tion.' and even to doubt concerning the
very institution of the family, may be
traced mainly to a sort OF pettshness
which is a consequence OF material sue
cess too easily attained. There is, then,
abundant occasion for the preaching OF
the old proverbial wisdom. 1t is not
only true, but urgently true that the
way Of life is the way of thrift, tenn
perance and justice. The Jews in Am
erica are already notable for their in
stinctive appreciation of this No peo
pie has been so quick to recognize the
real office of American institutions. The
schools are crowded with Jewish chill
dren, whose parents are willing to make
any sacrifice in order that they may fit
themselves for life and improve their
station. The Jewish vote is commonly
cast for the sake of good government.
The Jew knows what everyone really
knows, but so easily forgets that govern
ment is justified only through its pro
viding certain necessary conditions OF
health, security and individual improve
ment AS respects the religious question
it ought, 1 think, to be said that the
Jews Of the younger generation are fac
ing problems which are by no means
peculiar to themselves. The great per-
ennial problem of liberal religion is the
conservation of the ancient reverence
amidst the unceasing disintegration OF
doctrine and ritual The present age is
an age of doubt and hesitation, but the
essential religious truth is unmistakabe
and is shared by Jews and Christians
alike In religion, the moral will must
be sustained; goodness must somehow
be lifted up and made to command the
reverence and devotion of all This be-
ing the very essence Of religion, | see
no reason why the leaven of Judaism
should not work toward promoting re-
vival of faith.
In conclusion let me emphasize what
seems to me the best attitude which the
Jews can take in all these matters. 1t
is dangerous deliberately to place ira
dition above an ideal. After all, we
human beings have the most vital and
important things in common. Not only
are we connected by common material
The Jewish outlook., 1907-07-19

cause them to prevail. Thus, for Juda-
ism, it ought to be more important that
the world should see the light than that
the Jews should reveal 1t.

A Theatrical superstit,on.

They were rehearsing a new Play,
and every one was nervous, for the
first night was close at hand. The play
was tragedy, yet at its end the dying
heroine, as the curtain descended, said:
Three beers, please"
Those words concluded the play. Yet
they were entirely out of keeping. The
concluding words should have been, ''I
die. but. since have saved you, die
happy" or something to that effect
dramatic critic new to the business
asked how 1t was that the tragedy end
ed with Three beers, please" and the
stage manager said:
superstition. It is always thought
bad luck in rehearsals of new plays TO
speak the last sentence before the open
ing night. He who has the last SEN
tence to speak substitutes some mean
ingless phrase for it. If he dared to
speak the true phrase the prospects Of
the play would be thought doomed.
Some playwrights won't even write the
last line of q play. They whisper it to
the assembled company on its first
reading, and from that day till the
actual production the line Is never
again heard" = New Orleans Times

Pet Boars.

The incest pet the French forest af-
fords is the marcassin, or baby wild
boar. 1t is almost human in its clever
ness, delights in funny FRANKS, has an
evident sense Of humor, makes friends
Of children and dogs and even lends It
self to mimic hunts, playing the part
Of the hunted animal Its antics are
varied and original. The only creature
to which the marcassin objects is It's
distant relative, the pig. Directly 1t
sees that animal its back is up and its
growing tusk is barred. In babyhood
it has lovely sleek coat of very dark
brown and tan. When the silky hair
is shed and bristles take its place the
temper grows uneven. If marital and
paternal cares come on, the wild boar
puts away its childish ways and wants
to take its family to the forest to feed
there on acorns and beech mast. Woe
to the hound or to the keeper who
wants to keep him back. In the forest
this paterfamilias may be called the
first line of defense, the SOW the second,
and the little ones gambol round her.
