HoIy Lands of All ReIioione

Christians call Palestine the Holy
Land because it was the birthplace Of
the Christian religion on earth as well
as that of the Saviour, whose birth.
ministry and death are inseparably
associated with the history of Jeru-
salem and vicinity. To the Moham-
medans Mecca, in Arabia, is the holy
land, it being the birthplace of Mo
hammed, the saviour of the followers
Of that faith.
India is the holy land of the Chinese
and other oriental BuddhiSts, it being
the native land of Sakya Nuni, the
supreme Buddha. Ellis, one of the
several divisions of the ancient Pelo-
ponnc%us, was the Mecca and the Jeru-
salem of the ancient Greeks. The
temple of olympus Zeus was situated
ut Ellis. and the sacred festivals were
held there each year With Achaia
it is ut present Il part of Greece. The
believers in the Sinto religion make
annual pilgrimage to Sitsa Kara, the
immense stone pillar where their SUI
preme ruler last stood while talking
to men.-New York World.

When two spiders fight there is gen
orally a good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
1t is not generally known that after
a certain time spiders become inca
pabie OF spinning web from lack of
material The glutinous excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited; therefore spiders can
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old ones are destroyed But
they can avail themselves of the web
producing powers of their younger
neighbors, and this they do without
scruple. AS soon as a spiders web
constructing material has become ex-
hausted and its last web destroyed 1t
sets out in search of another home.
and unless 1t should chance to find one
that Is tenantless battle usually en-
sues, which ends only with the retreat
or death of the invader or defender.

In makiE- insur,iE = maps certain
features are considered essential, and
the growth Of the 8yat, IL has proved
their wisdom and ol~ i.ged them only
as regards tho amount of detail that
has been incorporated. OF first impor-
tance were the colors TO show the diff
ferent materials used in the constYuc-
ton of building. Naturally red
seemed proper color to signify brick
and yellow to signify wood. These
,c0lors have always been employed for
these materials. Other colors have
been added from time to time, thus
blue for stone, gray for iron, etc.
In fixing signs and characters for
such details as stairways, fire escapes,
dumb waiter shafts, etc, Il principal
object was to make them plain and
distinct They must be easily under
stood by an underwater without ref
erence to my key or marginal foot
notes.
This object has been carried out,
with the result that when these insur-
ance maps are examined by an insur-
ance man today each sign or charac-
ter has such an individuality of it's
own that it can be easily distinguished
and is not confused with another

Special Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON, FEB. 1.-Representa-
tive d. R. Anthony. of Kansas, states
that the farmers of Kansas, who in the
campaign of last fall were so enthus-
riastic over the so called progressive
Republicanism" of the LaFollette
school of politics are regaining their
senses and returning to the Republican
party. The Kansas farmers like the
farmers of many other states, were
fooled by the charge of insurgent can
didates on the stump that the Republi-
can party was controlled by ''the sys.
tenn" or the Interests" ard that some
thing should be done to save the coun-
try. To accomplish this they voted
against Republican candidates. Mr..
Anthony says that the farmers of his
state now are of the opinion that a
progressive Republican" is "a delus-
ion and q snare" 1t is highly prob
able that the farmers fthe every other
state who deserted the Republican
party last fall soon will be deeply i'm
pressed with the folly of their course.
Champ G'lark's Democratic Ways and
Means Committee already is at work
preparing a Democratic tariff bill,
which the Democratic House in the
next Congress eagerly will pass. Then
the farmer who voted against the Re
Republican party last November will
realize just what the Democratic vic.
tory meant to him. Champ Clark's
Democratic tariff bill will be the sort
OF tariff bill passed during the second
administration of President Cleveland,
which proved the most destructive
tariff measure ever enacted by Con-
,gress.
Through Republican tariff legisla-
tion the prosperity of the farmer has
been astounding In the Payne law
the farming interests received every
thing they asked in the way of pro-
tective duties on agricultural products.
Now the agricultural schedule will be
revised along sure enough Democratic
lines. 1t Will propose revision that the
famers of the country have insisted
would be ruinous.
The Clark bill may or may not be.
come law. 1T does not that will be
due entirely 70 those senators who re-
main loyal 20 Republican principles.
They may succeed in preventing the
enactment of the legislation the farm
ers fear. With The downfall of the Re-
publican party, if that should ever hap
pen, there would be more gloom and
adversity in the homes of the farmers
of this country than the farmers can
imagine.

Sealinq a Mine.

The brilliancy of the clear autumn
night was dimming in the first faint
light of the dawn when the work of
sealing the shafts began. Up into the
cloudless sky, through the tangled steel
work of the tipple, tall tower of
black smoke 800 feet high poured up
into the still air and faded into the
dawn. In two hours the black pits
were covered, first with layer of
rails, and then on this was laid solid
bed of concrete, and two hours later

poured up through cracks along the
edges of the great seal. like steam

Fudge is Il word with history.
There are prosaic etymologists, as
there always are, who derive it from
a Gaelic word meaning deception, but

Chang, after concluding the treaty of
ShimonOseki. was presented by the
empress with cloth of gold bag con-
tanning some heavy article. The treas
ure turned out to be large vase, and
Ii, who was an enthusiastic collector
of Chinese ceramics, at once sent for
his secretary, Mr. Pethick. to come
and examine the new acquisition.
Some time was spent in careful
examination to determine the dynasty
during which this treasure was pro-
duced, but the date of this especial
paste was lost, with its other technical
classifcations. After a long time Mr..
Pethick lifted it gingerly. placed it on
a table, put himself in front of it,
drawing a wrap round his shoulders.

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root OF
all genuine growth in the individual
and, exhibited in the lives of many, It
constitutes the true source of national
vigor and strength. Help from with

but help from within invariably invig-

classes to certain extent takes away

themselves, and where men are sub

The Leipzig Book Fair.

Leipzig is the largest publication cen
ter in the world. More books and pc.
riodicals are printed there than any
where else, and more people are en-
gagged in making and using printers
supplies than in London, New York,
Berlin or Paris. Many of the orders
for these publications come from Eng
land, France, Austria and other coun-
tries because the mechanical work can
be done in Leipzig much cheaper than
elsewhere. More than half of the
transactions in books take place at the
Leipzig book fair, which occurs every
year at the iubilate, the first week in
Easter, when booksellers and publish
ers from all parts of Germany assem-
Bile to compare and balance accounts
and to make contracts for the next
