THE JEWS IN JERUSALEM.
William E. Curtis Tells of Growth
of Race in Ottoman Empire.

Although the laws of the Ottoman
empire forbid persons of Jewish birth
to own property or do business or even
live in Palestine, there are between
$4,000 and 10000 of that race resident
in Jerusalem alone, and their number
is gradually increasing. The colony
has doubled during the last twenty
five years. and now constitutes about
three-fourths of the population of the
holy city. Notwithstanding the regula-
ton prohibiting immigration, and
most of the newcomers are entirely or
in part dependent upon the charity OF
II cir American and European brethren.
They come chiefly for sentimental and
religious reasons, says William z. Cur
tbs in the Chicago Record Herald. but
a considerable number are engaged in
business and have been eminently sue
cessful. They, more than the other
races, are oppressed by taxation and
blackmail The local offices usually
require them to pay one-tenth OF all
they produce as taxes and often seize
one-half or two-thirds of their crops,
or any property of value that can be
attached.
1t is very difficult for a Jew to do
business in Palestine for this reason.
The local authorities feel at liberty to
help themselves to anything he has.
He has no protection in the courts or
from any other source, because. tech
nically, he has no right in the country,
and hence the police officials can rob
and blackmail him without mercy. This
| is said to be one of the reasons why
| the Jews live in such wretched houses
and such squalor all over Palestine.
! Some rich men have been able TO pro-
| tect themselves by paying blackmail.
| One Jew in Jerusalem Is credited with
| several millions of dollars, which he
has made contracting with the govern
ment, making loans and specializing in
various ways. He has the confidence
of the authorities and it is said that
| they prefer to trade with him rather
| than with any other person. For rea-
sons that may possibly occur TO the
mind of the reader other competitors
have no chance with him in obtaining
| contracts. And in private enterprises,
also, notwithstanding their oppression
/ and the outrages inflicted upon them,
the Jews are gradually pushing the
/ MOslems and Christians out of the way
In Christian street, where they were
not allowed to set foot few years
| ago, they control three-fourths of the
business places. Even now they are
prohibited from approaching the far
theF end of the street, which leads To
the Holy Sepulchre. There is no law
| against it, but the fanatics would beat
| or kill them.
During the last fifteen years Jewish
families have not been allowed to buy
land. They are not allowed to hold
property. Much Jewish property is held
by trustees to evade the government;
much business is done by the Jews in
the names of Turks, and they obtain
! the privilege by bribing the officials
as it is supposed that they bride the
custom house inspectors to admit then
to the ports.

JAPANESE COMMANDMENTS.

Upon her wedding morning the Japanese
bride is given twelve commandments by
her mother. These twelve rules have been
hand down from mother TO daughter N
Japan for centuries, and no weil-bred girl
disregards them. What would an Amert-
can girl say If her mother should give
her the following directions:
The moment you are married you are
no longer my daughter Therefore. you
must obey your parents-in-law as you
once obeyed your father and mother.
When YOU are married your husband
will be your sole master. Be humble and
polite. Strict obedience to her husband is
the noblest virtue wife can possess.
Always be amiable toward your moth
er-in-law.
/ Do not be jealous. Jealousy kills your
husbands affection for you.
Even though your husband be wrong
do not get angry. Be patient and when
he has Gained down speak to him gently
| Do not talk too much. Speak no evil

Consult no fortune teller.
Be a good manageress, and especially

Do not pride yourself on your father $

SATIRE OF A LOGGER.
Judges Library)

In the pine clad hills of California the
country folk had gathered at a neighbor $
house to spend the evening in social
dance.
The male contingent of the gathering
was composed of farmers mill men, and
logging hands: the fairer sex. the wives,
sisters. and sweethearts of the men. and
the district school teacher. who was the
center of attraction of the young men,
and who seemed to be aware of her own
popularity.
During the evening an awkward. bash
full and roughly dressed logging hand was
introduced to the school teacher and
asked if he might have a dance with
her.
The school teacher drew herself up
haughtiIy and said: mo. stree. | am par
tIcuIar with whom / dance" Whereupon
the logging hand replied. with an air OF
indifference, II am not, or l would never
have asked you.

posite direction from the movement of
the weight. Were you to get above
the pulleys and pull upward, the
weight of the rope-however slight
would figure in the calculations.
No doubt you have often seen men
lifting great loads and immense boxes
by means of pulleys and wondered how
it could be done.
In building, the pulley is one of the
most valuable pieces of mechanism.
While looking at skyscrapers have you
not wondered how the great iron
beams were lifted to the dizzy heights?
Here, again, the pulley has done al
most incredible work.
Still another way of using pulleys is
to increase the number instead of
doubling the winding capacity of sin

possibly, 200 pounds. If you add an
other single pulley, you will be able
to lift OSO pounds, twice the weight
without extra exertion.
| By the use of four single pulleys you
could lift 800 pounds, and with five
pulleys 1000 pounds.
OF course, the facility of lifting a
heavy weight and the ease of increas-
ing it depends upon the bearings of the
pulleys. 1t is important that these be
delicately adjusted and well oiled.
From a purely mathematical stand
point the fine elements which enter into
the facility of increasing weight with
out the necessity of additional force
are numerous.
A great deal depends upon the elias
ITCHY of the rope. With a stiff rope
you would and more difficulty in lifting
a weight than with a flexible one.

THE STATE OF LINCOLN.

The Herald has received from the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce a PAM
phlet containing arguments in favor
of the creation Of the new state of
Lincoln. 1t is proposed to create. this
state out Of parts of washington and
Idaho. We are told that the people
of eastern Washington are cut off from
the people of the western part of the
state by high mountains. The same
thing is true of the people living in the
panhandle section of Idaho. The
''panhandlers. in order to get to Boise,
must make trip through at least two
and in some cases three other states
The carrying out of the plan would
certainly bring about the creation OF
a fine, large, new state. But the CUES
ton is one in which the outside pub
lie is not very deeply interested 1t is
a question which the people of Wash
ington and Idaho must settle for them
selves. They have been putting up
with the inconvenience they say they
have been caused for some years If
sufficient showing can be made now,
though, congress will doubtless author
ize the change of boundaries.
When Idaho was still a territory con-
gress- passed a bill slicing off the pan
handle" and giving il to Washington
It is a matter of record that the meas
Ure was not satisfactory to all the par
ties interested, because President
Cleveland vetoed the measure. He
would not have done this if a strong
showing had not been made by the
/ other side. We have seen no argu-
ments from Idaho in favor of the new
state. Indeed. if the question were put

And il is quite probable that there

philadelphia North American)
If you were commanded to lift 1900
pounds when your normal strength
was equal to only 100 pounds, how
would you go about it?
How would you increase your
strength sixteen times?
1t can be done easily. Have you
ever studied the effectiveness of pull
legs; do you know that the average
man may equal a Samson simply by
employing rope and a few pulley
blocks1
AS early as the sixteenth century
methods of augmenting power through
pulleys was demonstrated. Since then
this wonderful mechanical aid has
proved of vast benefit to man.
The man, then, who would rival the
feats of Samson must call the humble
but powerful pulley to his aid.
OF course, he can do a great deal
with the lever, although he may not,
as Archimedes believed could be done.
loosen old earth from her moorings.
Still, for an example Of gradually but
powerfully augmented strength he
would turn to the pulley.
Suppose that by the use of two pull
leys you were able TO lift 100 pounds
from the floor, and you wished to lift
twice the weight. Were you to take a
double block and use it above one sim
gle block, you could lift 200 pounds.
BY the use of two single pulleys the
load is supported by only one rope; by
the use of a double pulley, thus doub-
ling the rope back on itself, its lifting
power, as well as your own, is in
creased.
If you used two double pulleys, you
could increase the lifting capacity tC
300 pounds by doubling the lines around
the pulleys. In proportion to the num-
Der of ropes supporting the load yoJ
can increase the weight.
To lift 400 pounds you would merely
have to double your blocks. In draw
ing the rope a man pulls it in an op-
