The New Jerusalem.

The first memorial which strikes
the eyes of a traveller when he arrives
at Jerusalem. says a French visitor
who has recently returned to Paris,
is the new church of the Germans
on Mount Zion. 1t is built on land
given by Abdul Hamid to the German
emperor. It's architecture and vast
proportions are admired by all who
see the building. The church will
be served by German Benedictines,
and it is to be consecrated next year,
it is said, in the presence of Prince
Ethel, representing the kaiser. After
ward the prince will take part in the
opening of the sanitariun, also Ger
man, which is near by. At the other
extremity of the town near the Da-
mascus gate, German buildings are
increasing. The hospice and hostel
ry are finished. An orphanage. with
chapel, is contemplation. This will
be under the charge OF the Lazarists
of Cologne, whose funds have contrib
uted millions Of marks for charitable
purposes in the Holy Land. In short,
it is Germany which holds the SUI
premacy in Jerusalem and that SUI
premacy is not hidden. - London

THE SHAREHOLDERS DUTY.

1t is often said that corporations have
no souls, and it is more thar halfway
true. The idea is to squeeze ou- the in
dividuality and leave the org7 nizatlor
supreme. This has It's legal effect which
is the end sought, but it seriously coun-
teracts the personal responsibility. Now
this should be felt in every organiza-
ton. No man has a right to permit his
conscience to be crushed by a charter.
The fact is every corporation should
be an organized integrity as well as an
organized commercial purpose, and to
make it so every member of the corpor-
alton should contend for the straight
things that he wishes to appear in his
own private business. A corporation
should scorn to do anything that an in
telligent, honest, upright man would
not do in his own private business, and
if such a mans protest is of no avail
he should get out of the organization.
We see sometimes the very best meE
belonging to organizations that do
wrong and unjust acts. They are in part
guilty of the wrongdoing. especially
when they quietly submit and accept
the usufruct. One of the first things
we will have to learn in the glad new
time'' is how widespread and deeply
penetrating are the lines of personal re-
sponsibility. The corporate form of eff
fort doesn't eliminate our accountable
ity. A shareholder may not be legally
responsible for the acts of the corpora
ton to which he belongs, but he is
morally responsible.-Ohio State Jour

Ancient Hindu Temple.


The Boroboedoer unearthed by Sir
Stamford Rafi1es when the English
ruled in Java was built by the Hin
dus in the eighth century. and is by far
the finest example of their work in the
die of the valley, this imposing edi-
fee, covering nearly ter acres, rises to
height of upward of 100 feet above
the summit of the hill.
It consists of a series of stone ter
races built On top of each other in
diminishing magnitude so as to leave
circumscribing galleries and crowned
by vast cupola; entrance to the gal
leries is gained by four stairways-
north, south, east and west-which run
from the ground straight up to the big
top terraces, in the middle OF which
stands the browning cupola, surround
ed by numerous smaller latticework
cupolas, and from which one may
step aside into any of the inferno date
galleries.
The whole is built of stone, showing
an immense amount of carving, and
though there is no genuine inside to
the temple, many of the galleries are
covered in, innumerable images of
Buddah occupying inches or prominent
positions on the walls, and the sides
of the galleries were paved with bas-
reliefs, indicating the glorification of
this god and other incidents in his
history. When one considers that there
are several miles of .bas-reliefs alone,
th- work expended on the pyramids of
Egypt pales into insigrificance before
this stupendors undertaking.-Shan-
ghai Mercury.

DEMAND FOR FARM LABOR.

The greatest problem the farmer of
today has to meet is the difficulty of
obtaining and retaining in service farm
laborers. The trolley lines and the
steam lines of the country bring the
farm closer to the towns and the cities,
but they also bring the attractions of
the city and the higher wages Of the
city worlxingmen closer to the farm la
borers. and, in the great majority of
instances, finally detach them from Gull
tivation of the soil.
1.-THE call of the Wild is not answer
ed by one-tenth of the number of city
recruits from the farms, and the result
can be seen all over the world in the
great increases of urban population. In
the south the farmers have the advant-
age of greater supply of farm labor
ers than those Of the north, but even
their field hands are becoming less
numerous through their departure to
the haunts of the cities in all sections
of the Union. The advances that have
already taken place in the wages of
farm laborers do not stop this exodus,
and there are today very few native
white Americans who can he properly
classed as agricultural laborers. Gin
