The Eve of the Needle.

When Christ says in his sermon
"that it is easier for camel to pass
through the eye Of a needle than it is
for a rich man to enter the kingdom
Of heaven" he does not mean a sewing
needle, but a hole through which a
camel had to pass through in getting
into fortress. 1t was the custom in
old times, and in parts of Arabia still
Is, for the people of a village to build
a fortress against the robbers of the
desert, into which they carried an I'M
foreground passage in zigzag form
barely large enough for a camel lying
down on its side to work itself through
Into the courtyard of the fort, and the
Saviour beautifully compares the strug-
giles of the animal to what the rich man
must suffer in order to gain paradise
The hole was called "the eye of the
needle"
In the old stone cahirs, or walled
cities, in Ireland specimens Of these
eyeholes may be seen. Most of them
have been partially destroyed, but
there is one almost perfect at Grianan
Eileach, in Donegal, and so like the
eastern eyeholes that one would think
they were made by the same workmen.
The Irish annals relate that Eileach
was erected by a Tuach de Daanan
chief 1900 years before Christ.-Ex-

the roll call, which was ordered by
Captain Lyons, and he said he found
every man present or accounted for.
Fraser testified that each man was
allowed twenty rounds of ammunition,

Agility of Hares and Rabbits.


Interesting figures on the relative
agility of hares and rabbits are given
in volume by ]. G. Millais. "When
running at ease" he says, ''the length
Of the hare's stride is about four feet,
but under conditions Of fear its leaps
extend to ten and twelve feet, while
some authors claim that it can jump
fen bitches twenty to twenty-five feet
in width. Perpendicularly hare can
jump on to five foot wall, but seems
to be nonplused by one about six feet.
The stride Of the rabbit is about two
feet. When necessary it can make
leaps of six or seven feet horizontally.
About three feet is the highest that a
rabbit can attain to even when helped
by the asperities of stone wall" Mr.
Millais tells how rabbits swim-when
compelled to-: They swim with the
head held as high as possible, while
the hooks of tlles hind legs appear

WITHOUT JURISDICTION.
CONGRESS HAS NO RIGHT OR AU.
THoRITY OVER WOMAN AND
CHILD LABOR.
HOUSE COMMITTEE SUBMITS OPINION
MATTER ENTIRELY WITHIN CON
TRoL OF PoLIcQ POWER OF
THE STATES.

Washington, Feb. Chairman Jen.
kins of the house committee on judic-
.ary has submitted a report in which
t Is stated emphatically that the com
mittee is Of the opinion that congress
has no jurisdiction or authority over
the subject Of woman and child labor
and has no authority to suppress any
abuses of such labor or ameliorate
conditions surrounding the employ
ment Of such laborers." The commit
tee holds that the regulation Of wo-
man and child labor is within the po-
lice power Of the various states.
This report was made in compli-
ance with the resolution from the
house committee on appropriations
asking for an. opinion on the subject
before the appropriations committee
included an item in an appropriation
bill to cover the expense of the inves-
tigation of woman and child labor in
the United States. In concluding its
report the house committee on judic-
larry says:
''The national government is too
weak to undertake the exercise of the
police power of the states. In short
time this great nation would be worse
than ship in midocean in a great
storm, without a rudder or compass.
The division of power was wise and
beneficial Time, study and expert
ence approve it and we should not at
tempt in an unconstitutional way the
destruction of the sub-structure OF our
government. If, then, these two great
powers of police and commerce are
separate and independent, the power
Of the state sovereign, where is the
authority for saying that congress can
invade and impair that power, entire
and independent in the state. The
right and power OF both the state and
nation must be respected and upheld. .

Washington, Feb. THE senate
committee on public lands has author
tied favorable report on a bill per-

men under the homestead laws dur

February and March. The committee
reported an amendment providing
that in the communication of homestead
proofs no credit for the period of alb
sence under this act shall be allowed.
Senator Newlands offered as an
amendment provision which would
extend the communication on home
steads from fourteen months to three
years actual residence, but it was re-
jected. The provision, however, led
to a general discussion Of the commu-
tation clause and it was stated that
President Roosevelt favored the re-

The Juice Of the Grape.

The Arabs say that when the first
grapevine was planted the demon Iblis
sacrificed peacock on the spot where
the plant was set. AS soon as it be-
gan to sprout forth he sacrificed an
ape over it. When the grapes began
to appear he slaughtered lion, and
when these were ripe he offered up a
pig; hence it is that he who drinks
wine feels at first as proud as a pea
cock and becomes subsequently as
tricksome as an ape, as bold as lion
and at length as stupid as swine.
