Very carefully inclosed and guarded
are the 200 remaining cedars of Leb-
anon, those famous trees that once
clothed all the sides of the Syrian
mountains. So tall and beautiful were
they in comparison with the trees of
Palestine that the Hebrew writers eel
ebrated them with extraordinary
praise. and from the earliest times
their soft white wood was the glory
Of Jewish architecture. They were
used in Solomon's temple and in its
successor and 'also in the church that
Constantine built at Jerusalem.
The surviving trees are called by the
Arabs the trees of God" and under
their widespreading branches the cler-
gy of the Greek church occasionally
celebrate mass.
Several of the trees in the grove are
over 1,500 years old and have height
of 100 feet and a circumference of so.
In appearance they more resemble the
aged larch or the majestic oak than
the cedar that is known in America

Buying dog is not so easy as it
looks, there Is so much taking" A
good Irish terrier, for instance, should
have stiff, wlry coat, n pronounced
red color, n long, narrow head, small
eyes and ears which hang down. The
ears of a bun terrier, an Aberdeen
terrier or Yorkshire terrier should
stick up. But be careful that the willy
dealer has not produced this effect
with cardboard. A bulldog should
have n shovel shaped mouth, with the
under jaw protruding upward, and a
wide chest, There are one or two
things to look out for in buying dog.
Some dealers try to palm off an old
dog as young one by scraping his
yellow teeth, which show signs of age,
and painting his gray mu2zle. Bright
eyes are often produced by smear
