dent Of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa

substitutes for the wooden tie. That

that material is lacking in elasticity.
Steel seems to him undesirable, chief.
ly because Of Its cost, though doubts
of the expediency Of using It are also

Most travellers who visit the Holy
Land content themselves with visit
to that restricted part west OF Jor-
dan. The mountainous regions Of
Moab as seen by them from Jerusa-
lem are lost in the purple haze that
constantly hangs over them, and the
great stretches beyond are covered
in mystery. This is true partly be-
cause OF the fewer historical incidents
connected with the eastern regions.
but mainly on account OF the great
abyss of the Jordan Valley that has
always acted as a barrier. Few who
descend into the valley 1900 feet be-
low sea level undertake to climb the
hills beyond, which rise to height
of 5000 feet. Though Its glory Is far
outshone by that OF western Pales-
tine, still, both in the old and the new
dispensations, It has a history Of fts
own and from an economic standpoint
will always enter very largely into the
life of PaIestine.-Christian Herald.

The Best water.

A writer In Vim does not think
highly of mineral waters. He says I:
"The best water Is the water contain
ing the least mineral matter in 1t.
The nearer you can come to getting
absolutely pure water to drink the
more easy 1t will be to keep In good
health. The simplest form in which
absolutely pure water is found is in
rain. And rain-water collected from
of a clean surface and stored IN a
clean reservoir is as good as any
thing one can find. The best substi-
tute for rainwater is good distilled
water. In fact. distilled water may
be somewhat preferable, as 1t is not
subject to accidental contamination
in the many ways rainwater is. To
argue that absolutely pure water ID
not helpful is equal to saying that the
addition of pollution improves it-a
proposition that will not stand the
test OF hard common sense"

the Republican brand, he comes
pretty near being a maverick

working his head off to establish
