The New Jerusalem,

The first memorial which strikes
the eyes of a traveller when he ar
rives at Jerusalem, says a French
visitor who has recently returned te
Paris, is the new church of the Ger
mans on Mount Zion. It is built on
land given by Abdul Hamid to the
German emperor. It's architecture and
vast proportions are admired by ali
those who see the building. The
church will be served by German
Benedictines, and it is to be conse.
Grated next year, it is said, in the
presence of Prince Eitel. representing
the kaiser. Afterward the prince win
take part in the opening of the SAM
tarium, also German, which is nearby.
At the other extremity of the town,
near the Damascus gate, German
buildings are increasing. The hospice
and hosiery are finished. An orphan
age, with chapel, is in contemplation
This will be under the charge of the
Lazarists of Cologne, whose funds
have contributed millions of marks
for charitable purposes in the holy
land. In short, it is Germany which
holds the supremacy in Jerusalem.
and that supremacy is not hidden

HISTORICAL MYTHS.

Cleveland Leader-Carlyle in his
French Revolution constantly re-
fers to Marat as a ''squalid horse
| leech" Carlyle did not admire revo-
lutionists of the Marat type. He
sought to fix upon him lasting in
fanny by devising some epithet OF OBJ
loquy. He accepted with great guilt
bleness all the tales of the royalists
and aristocrats who hated Marat and
Recent historical research has shown
that Marat was not a horse doctor,
but the leading physician OF France
before the revolution, the first man to
use electricity in medicine, a scien-
fist and scholar, much sought after
and petted by royalty. He became a
revolutionist because he honestly be-
lieved that heroic measures were
needed to abolish the old regime, and
posterity knows hun as a horse
leech" because of the prevarication OF
brilliant and cratic man of letters.
Richard III of England for genera
tons was abhorred as one of the vii
est monsters of history. Shakes
peare, in a play written to please
Queen Elizabeth, granddaughter of the
man who had killed Richard and
taken his kingdom away from him,
sought to dignity and justify the re-
bellion that placed the TudOrs on the
English throne. To accomplish this
he painted Richard III, last king of the
house of York, as brutal murderer
and a most abhorrent scoundrel 1t
is now known that Richard was a
wise and just monarch, who gave his
endeavor to bring peace and good
government to his country.

with the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest of
the great transcontinental lines to en-

ample opportunity to do as was done

llshed by James Bailey, a well-knowa
farmer within a few miles of Regina.
Mr. Bailey bought the $40 acres Of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year had 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres Of
oats. The wheat yielded 1875 bush
