gladstone messages telling of peace earth and good
will mankind in the coming spring, they will also
announce the dedication and opening in part of the

been rushing the work in the hope that the great

Camels and Donkeys

The Palestine of today is land Of donkeys and
camels l suppose the latter about the same as
those owned by Job. They are reared in Beersheoa,
where the people largely live their milk The camel
is the freight of Palestine have seen many cara
vans Of them going the country On the way here
we passed some camels which the Bedouin drivers
we're shearng. They clipping the wool from the
kneeng beasts which cried and moaned and now and
then shrieks the shears shipped Off bits
of their flesh Not few shed actual tears The wool
of these ,camels is into coarse CLOTH which
is used for weaving the coverings of the Bedoun tents
AS far as l can see these camels of the Holy Land
have no easy job They carry loads of 800 or 400
pounds EACH and short trips their packs are left
on day and night. They begin to work at years and
often last until they 25 years of age The best
them bring from $50 to 500 apiece and the poorest
from $25 to $50.

Among the Shepherds

The shepherds are about the same all over Pales-
tine. They kindyeyed with fair faces bronzed
by the sun. They stay out all day the hills with the
sheep driving them into the villages at night Each
shepherd has HIS staff and his scrip, little bag of
dried skin. He uses sling David did, and stones
his sheep to keep them from strayng The strings of
the sngs of goat hair and the pad for the stone
is of the same material often made with slit in the
middle that when stone is put in the sling 1t fits
close like bag. Such things now used in stone
fights between the boys Of the villages who practice
to who throw the farthest.
The wool OF these sheep is especially fine. 1t
brings higher price than that of Damascus and
something like a million dollars worth of it is ex-
ported year. The shearing is done by hand and
much of the wool is sold unwashed. Some is washed
after shearing, the work being done by women, who
receive less than a shilling a day.
Nearly every flock of sheep has its goats They
usually black and be picked out at a great
distance, Some of the goats produce excellent milk
and the best as much as three quarts a day.

In a Jewish Colony

If the Holy Land could be freed from taxation and
that the land would produce many times what 1t does
now Its possibilities be in the various
colonies which have been established by the Jews
