Jacob met and kissed Rachael. There

country, the most Of them shaped like

The pools of Solomon were connected
by pipes with Jerusalem a few years
ago, and for a time il was thought
that they would supply the city with
water. These pools are on the high
lands between Bethlehem and Hebron.
They are cut out Of the solid rock, and
IT is said that they originally held
about 100000 gallons. There are
three of Them ranging in height from
$50 to $50 feet They lie in terraces
one above the other, being Of varying
widths The depths are from % to
50 feet If they were in good condi-
ton they could supply a vast deal of
water; but as it is, the aqueducts
which Solomon built TO Jerusalem have
gone to ruin. and there is now only a
4-inch iron pipe running from them to
this city. The pipe comes in near the
Dung gate and goes from there to the

used almost altogether for the Mosque

Rain In Jerusalem.
Just now the Holy Land is suffering
from drouth and the people are praying
for rain. We have had one or two
showers in the past few days, but more
is needed or the crops will fail The
most of the Inhabitants here are reli-
gious. They believe in prayer, and Mo-
hammedanS, Christians and Jews are
now all holding services at which they
ask the Lord to send water
We had a slight rain yesterday and
more is expected The people evidently
think their prayers will be answered.
As l walked through David street L
heard two Mohammedans TALKING Their
language was Arabic, but my drago-
man told me that one had just said TO
the other:
How good God is, after all We
have prayed for the rain and, 10, it has
come"
When the first shower began to fall
I was standing at the door of my ho-
tel. A little girl passed. She had a
platter of bread on her head and the
rain was pouring down upon it. She
was wet TO the skin, but nevertheless
she was singing. / asked my guide the
words of her song He replied: "She
cries: Praise God for the raini Praise
God for the RANT Praise God for the
rainp"
This little girl was perhaps s years

= ERUSALEM, Oct. 5.-Take a seat
with me this bright Sunday morning
- in the railroad car which is just
about leaving the seaport of Jaffa to 20
to Jerusalem. The distance by rail is 81
miles. and we shall make it in less than
four hours. The road crosses the rich
plains of Sharon, and then winds its way
up the hills of Judea until it leaves US
at the Holy City, about $500 feet higher
than where we now are.
The cars are comfortable, but We have
had to fight with the tourists and pill
grims for our seats near the windows.
A German and Greek ON the or1osite
side of the car are still quarreling FOR
places, and their language is not that of
brotherly love. The German has just
called the Greek a swine. and the Greek
has retailiated by saying that the Ger
man is of the canine persuasion. Now
they are quiet, and we can enjoy the
scenery as We 60 onward.
On the Plains of Sharon.
Leaving Jaffa, we ride for some miles
by nothing but orchards. There are
orange groves loaded with blossoms and
fruit There are orchards of olives,
pomegranates and figs, and many gar
dens surrounded by cactus hedges twice
as high as our heads. Leaving the or
which the Philistines lived. The soil is
brown and so fat that you have only to
tickle it with the pillow and it laughs
with the harvest.
Here is a green field of wheat. The
stalks stand as thick as grass in the
ground, and rise and fall with the winds
from the sea- There native is blowing
with a bullock and donkey harnessed to-
gether. The pillow is the rude old-fash-
toned one of the Scriptures, and the
dark-skinned farmer steadies it with one
hand, while he carries a goad in the
other. Farther on are camels dragging
the plows. In places we see flocks of fat
sheep, herded by boys, and now and then
pass a village of whitewaled houses
with thick roofs of thatch on which the
grass grows. Nearly every house has a
roof of sod about a foot deep, and as we
near the hills the towns on their sides
rise up in green terraces.
The landscape here is far different
from that of the United States. There
are no houses nor barns standing alone
in the fields There are no outbuildings
of any description, and no haystacks or
strawstacks. The people live in villages
and go out to work in the fields. The
only fences are hedges of cactus, and the
most of the holdings are not fenced at

Fairies, you know usually are happy
and contented, and always glad to
obey their beautiful queen in all things,
and although they love the earth, with
it's green grass and lovely flowers and
dear earth-children, they know that
only by their queens command or with
her permission can they ever allow
themselves to be seen by mortals.
Now this little fairy, whose name
was Blossom, became somewhat dis
contented in fairyland; she loved to
watch the earth-children playing in
the garden, and often wished she might
join in their )lics, and any time she
could slip away by herself she would
fly to the garden and hide in tall
white lily and peep out of its snowy
heart at the merry children. The fairy
queen knew of this and had told Bios
som many times she must on no ac-
count allow herself to be seen.
For days she remembered and obeyed
the queens command-and then some
thing happened. Little Marie, who
lived in the big house standing in the
middle of this garden, came one morn
ing to the very lily in which Blossom
was hiding, and put her rosy cheek
against the snowy petals Now the
fairy could easily have hidden herself
away down in the heart of the flower,
or have spread her gauzy wings and
flown away, but she did neither OF
these; she just lifted her tiny self
and leaned over the side of the lily and

Freddie had long wanted to go for a
fishing trip and finally his uncle told
him that if he would be ready early in
the morning he might go with him.
Freddie was much excited about the
proposed trip and spent the afternoon
catching bait. getting his hooks and
lines ready and telling his mother about
the luncheon he wished to carry with
him. He had a splendid little outfit
for his father wanted him to learn to
do these things properly, and so pro
vided him with Il fish basket, line,
rod and reel that the most particular
fisherman could ask.
Finally, when all was in readiness,
Freddie went to bed, but he was so
afraid that he would no wake up early
enough that he had trouble getting to
sleep.
When he had slept long, long time,
he heard some one calling him, and
jumped out of bed quickly. But oh,
how cold it was. He found himself
sinking rapidly down in the pale green
water. Here and there he could see
bright CLEANS, and as his eyes grew
accustomed to the dim light he could
see tall reeds, and finally felt his feet
touch the soft moss under his feet. At
last he stood upright in the water.
Just then a beautiful reddish gold
fish swan toward him and greeted him
this way

looked straight into the eyes of the
little girl, which seemed to brow bigger
and rounder and bluer when she spled
the dainty creature.
"A fairy! Oh, a beautiful fairy!"
she gasped, and lifted Blossom gently
out of the flower, holding her softly
to the rosy cheek. How lovely you
are, you dear little thing! You shall
come and live with me, and 1 will give
you my beautiful new dolls house for
your very own" Turning, she ran
swiftly into the house and upstairs to
the nursery, where the dolls house
was kept.
1t was indeed a splendid house, with
a garden surrounding it, with grass
and trees and a mirror lake, which had
swans on its smooth surface as II
swimming about. A tiny hammock
swung on the porch and swing stood
under the trees
Conclude this story, telling what hap
pened to the disobedient fairy when
she found herself in the dolls house,
and describe all her adventures until
she finally could get the queen of the
fairies to let her go home once more
to fairyland.

When they have put away their toys
And washed both face and ears,
Then all the little girls and boys,

And place them on a chair,
That they may waken with the sun
And haply find them there.

The slippers from the shelf

To put them there himselfD

When all their prayers are said.

THE CLOTHES PIN FAMILY

A whole family of clothes pin dollies
are splendid little people to play with,
for they always do just as they are
told. They can be dressed and un-
dressed very easily, and they may
wear new clothes every day. If you
want these little dolls ak mother for
about six of her clothes pins. Make
all of the dolls heads first by tying
pieces of white paper or white muslin
over the tops of the pins, but be sure
to stuff these tiny heads with paper
rags or sawdust. II you wish you
may mark them with eyes, noses.
mouths and hair. Then cut circles or
stiff white paper. This is very easy
if you first lay a saucer on the white
paper and then mark around it so that
you may know where to cut In the
middle of each paper circle cut a small
hole so that the little garment may be
slipped on over the dolly's head. With
a piece of string tie this white clothing
close to the dolls waist. Now the doll
will stand alone.
For me dresses you may use any
colored tissue paper or crepe paper
that you wish. You may make them
in the same way as you made the
stiff foundation dress, or you may
make more elaborate paper clothing.
Little tissue paper bonnets, which are
easily made, improve the appearance
of this family. Colored sashes are al
most as becoming to these little ladies
as to the larger dolls.

JUNIOR PICNIC

"A / u w ILL nave TIE plCIlC SOOn,
w either the first or second week
in August and there will be lots
of fun, I assure you. We will have to
confer with the park commissioners to
get day on which there will be no
other picnics. want every Junior who
has. written in the last six months to
c me and have a delightful time.
Don't you think 1 have given you
fine topics this week? 1 know that
you will enjoy yourself immensely
when you sit down to imagine living a
whole year with brigands. Think of
the exciting rides you will have
through forests which had never been
traversed before and through little
villages where there were so few peo-
pie that you could scare them almost
to death without hurting them, of
course, for you know real and truly
brigands used to be quite fine men some
times and would never kill anyone
when they could help it. They never
robbed poor persons, you know, and
quite often helped them. Think of the
exciting stories told at the campfires
each night when you were camped in
the middle of a dense forest. 1 am
sure that you will have the best chance
in the world to have fine stories this
week.
Don't you remember the time when
mother had callers in the parlor and
the dog went into the bedroom and tore
one of the ladies' hats all to pieces?
l-ld once you filled the tub full of
water and sailed your boats upon it?
Don't you remember the water over
flowed and as the bathroom happened
to be right over the parlor a drop of
water fell on mothers head and she
came in just in time? But perhaps you
remember better the time mother
wanted you to play for the ladies.
Don't you think that would make a
fine picture. All the ladies in the par
lor with their pretty gowns and the lit
tie girl at the piano. But then you
remember better than I do the things
that happened then.
know the unfinished story contest
will be a great success, for 1 have
already noticed the envelopes are thick
er and although I have not opened
any of them am sure quite few of
them contain the completed stories.
I am always so proud of the linn
erick contest, for my nieces and neph-
ews always respond so well and there
are always plenty of them, but don't
forget 1 want as many of them as
can get and the more I have the
more happy I am, because I know that
you are thinking of your Aunt Laurie.
1 almost forgot to tell you that
want your suggestions about a place
for the picnic. I want to know where
yov would rather go, know.
Be sure and write to me each week.
