HOLY LAND SHEEP
Shepherds Still Retain Their
 Ancient Characters.
Men of This interesting Land Carry Primitive Weapons to Protect Flocks From Raids by Be-
 douins and Animals.

Jerusalem.-There are few more picturesque sights in the Holy Land than the shepherd and his flock of sheep. You can never see one with out the other, says writer in Coun- try Life in America. They live en Girely with their flocks.
 Their business is not only an hon. orable calling, but it is one of per petual difficulty and danger. Shep- herds in the east are men of war; ulso they are men of some initiative and practical intelligence.
 They, of course, belong to the na- tive population which may be divid- ed into three groups, the townspeople, or medanijeh; the peasants, or dwell- CTS in villages, called the fellaheen, and the nomads, who live in tents and spend their lives roaming, called the Bedouins.
 The shepherds, therefore, come un- der the head of peasants, or fell. been, but nevertheless, they are vir- sually race apart. Unlike the other native tribes, they have maintained their ancient character intact. They attended to the wants of their sheep and led them from pasture to pasture among the hills and valleys long be- fore the coming of the Children of Israel
 The sheep themselves are distinctly of the Syrian breed and famed for their fat tails. Much has been made of the fact that the shepherds of Pal estine lead their sheep. This custom has arisen, of course, through the ab-

The Very Best Make.

In the course of an after-dinner speech in praise of woman, Samuel Untermyer, the New York lawyer, said in Pittsburg:
 "A commercial traveller remarked the other day to a storekeeper:
 Make yourself a Christmas pres ent of a cash register. It will keep strict and accurate account of all you receive and all you disburse. It, will show you what you save and what you squander, what you spend foolish ly and what you spend wisely, where you should spread out and where you should retrench, where you waste and Row you waste it.
 But said the storekeeper, I've already got a cash register which does all that and more
 Whose make is it?' asked the salesman, frowning.
 "'God's make the storekeeper re- piled; and with a smile at once rev erent and grateful he nodded toward his handsome Wife seated in the cash ier's cage"

SUGGESTIONS OF THE ORIENT
In Design and CoIoring, Embroideries Show Effects That May Be
 Called Barbaric.

The oriental note prevailing in the recent fashions iss making itself felt among the embroideries; these in de sign and coloring are more or less bar barrie. sometimes more weird than beautiful. They are executed in wool crewel or silk on net, chiffon silk or any soft material. Embroideries in vivid coloring introducing jeweled eff fects are extremely striking when done on dull gold or silver lace or net.
 White blouses trimmed with bands of the eastern embroidery are curiously rich and effective when cleverly de signed. Heavy bands from 10 to "A inches in depth trim the skirts of the most elegant gowns; a touch of the oriental embroidery is introduced upon the collar and cuffs of suits.
 Beads and embroideries remain fashionable, but are totally different in type from those of last season, Beads of wood, crystal and porcelain

LITTLE ONES STYLES
SIMPLICITY CONTINUES TO BE
 KEYNOTE OF FASHION.
Tailored Fairness Universal, No Mat fer What the Make of the Frock- White Trimming on Every
 Species of Tub Material.

Spring fashions for little maids still preserve the childish simplicity ad- mired this long while. Whether wash able or non-washable fabrics are used, there is tailored plainness about most of the little gowns, these de- pending upon novel yokes or handsome collars for dressiness, or on the use or two contrasting materials.
 In point of style, the frock with long-waisted bodice and short, plaited or gored skirt still holds place for children from six up to twelve. In the plainer instances these have solid yokes of silk or of the contrasting ma terial, but the dressier frock almost invariably shows thin white guimpe, provision being made for this in the cut of the bodice neck. Numbers Of gowns in the more solid wash fabrics have shields and collars of white pique or plain linen, and frequent use is made of white for trimming every species of tub material.
 The little Sundaygo-to-meeting or afternoon frocks, while preserving the tailored stamp yet permit, of course, considerably more trimming than do the wash frocks, although the garni- lures are all on flat order. The sur plice bodice with shawl collar reach ing to the belt, the deep armhole cut or it's simulations and the peasant or kimono sleeve are all phases of the little girls best frock, although sleeves may be both long and short and neckS high or collarless. A frock in one piece is a smart exaction for all the smaller girls, who would, of course, look absurd in anything like a shirt waist get-up. The bodice, too, is made loose enough for the utmost comfort, and, unless a longer cut is more becoming to her, the hem of the dress reaches just to the child's knee caps.

Is Just as Deadly as Any, Though Ii Does Not Circulate in the
 Blood

There are such things as fatigue poisons. They are produced in the muscles by exertion.
 It has been shown that if you take the extracts from the muscles of an animal which has been kept in active exercise until it is exhausted from sheer weariness, and inject those ex- tracts into the muscles of a perfectly strong and thoroughly rested animal, the rested animal almost immediately and without the slightest exertion be- gins to show the signs of extreme weariness. Furthermore, experiments on animals have shown that enough of this fatigue poison can be injected under the skin of the rested animal to cause death-not by blood-poison- ing in the ordinary sense, but by un- endurable fatigue. No fever or other such signs of blood-poisoning follow the injection.

Jail for Biu I'aby,

Elizabeth, N. J.-"Your honor, papa slaps me all the time, and it hurts, too. I want you to send him to jail" These words, spoken in a plaintive voice by little James Kelley, Jr., of 336 Magnolia avenue, to Judge Mahon in police court, brought tears to many eyes Kelley is only 52 and feet tall, ana his father is 30 years older The aged man told different story.
 Judge he said, T used to think Jimmy was only mischievous, but am beginning to be convinced that he is incorrigible. He goes out every night and stays until 9 or 10 o'clock, and, for all know, may be in bad com pany Then when I try to show him the error of his ways he knocks me down."
 "The case is evidently one for the Juvenile court said Judge Mahon to the bad boy; but I'll take chance in disposing of 1t myself. Six months in the workhouse."

RINGS CROWDING OFF GLOVES
Present Styles in JeWelry Responsible for the Change in Fashion
 in London.

Gloves are no longer considered an indispensable adjunct of the evening toilette in London This is partly due to the fact that the latest fashion in jewelry is large rings heavily gemmed. With several of these on her fingers a woman's hand under glove looks deformed.
 Then the new evening muffs are eX- quisite creations and do away with any necessity for further hand cover ings. With the huff there is a scarf to match and even an old gown looks fresh and pretty with these access sories.
 Ostrich plumes, fluffy marabou and soft swansdown are mingled with chiffon laces and flowers so that beau tiful effects are obtained.

sence of roads, and the scanty nature of the pasturage found on the noun tain sides. It would be impossible to drive the fiocks from place to place, unless dogs were employed, and there are no sheep dogs in eastern coun- tries. Hence the shepherd goes on in front the sheep following, behind, a shepherd boy as rule bringing up the rear. This is the shepherds prin- cipal duty, to guide his sheep and find pasturage for them.
 Then another remarkable trait about these men Is that they know their sheep and can instantly pick them out from strangers. At Beth lehem once, I witnessed a very strik- Ing demonstration of this Three shepherds met. and their focks, to- talling some 160 sheep, were soon hopelessly mixed up together It re- quired but few minutes to drive the sheep into fold, and in remarkably short space of time the shepherds pointed out correctly the members of their respective flocks.
 Then the shepherds of this inter- esting land are men of arms. In the southern districts of Palestine and also in the Lebanon country they all carry firearms, and those around Jeru- salem and in the neighborhood of Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee, and in other parts of the country carry weapons in the shape of heavy wood en clubs or slings, the latter as primi- tive as that used by David when he tended his fathers fiocks.- The guns are invariably old-fashioned fiintlock muskets or some other obsolete type of firearm. With these weapons the shepherd protects his flock from wild beasts-leopards, partners and wolves. But his worst enemy Is not the wild animals of the country, but the rowing Bedouins The latter are always making raids and carry of sheep, with the result that even today many a good shepherd is called upon to lay down his life for the sheep.

DISSEMINATING A FINE ART
Happy-Go-Lucky Methods Will Not D.
 With This Agreeable Tea Table Deicacy.

The secret of having crisp toast is to cut the bread the night before. so the surface is dry before it is toasted. Another trick Is to have the slices, when toasted, stood upon edge in some place where they can be kept hot until they are served. If the slices are placed one on top of the other they become soggy, says the New York Tribune.
 For toast that is to be used as the foundation for poached eggs, mush- rooms or any creamed food, half an inch is the correct thickness; hot wa ter is distributed over it evenly with small spoon, and melted butter spread on with bristle brush, which comes for the purpose.
 People who dislike the softness pro- duced by this treatment can, of course, preserve the crispness of the toast by emitting the hot water. Often, when bread is very stale, it may be steamed little before it is toasted. Housekeepers who do not possess an- cient silver toast racks have been heard to say that these only act as coolers for the slices they hold, and that they are not desirable at all On the other hand, covered toast dish holds the heat and steams the slices to sogginess in a short time The surest way to have perfect toast seems to be to dispense with the an cient forms and take to ultra-modern inventions, such as the electric toast CT, which stands on the table at mi lady's elbow, and makes the toast

bag is then sewn to the mount through little holes for that purpose.
 To do the crochet commence with line of chain stitches at the lower end, the length of which must core spond with the width of the top of the metal clasp. This clasp should be of oxidized silver for silver thread, and gilt metal for the gold thread, of course. Into every third oh. put i tr-, ch., and work at both sides of the foundation ch, so joining the filet crochet, and working round and round up to the lower corners of the clasp. then work each half separately up to the top of the clasp. The handle is crochet cord one-half yard in length. For this cord join 4 ch. in ring, and work round and round on these four stitches, putting d. c. into each stitch for the required length. Fasten the ends securely with a few single stitches worked into the beginning of the cord and conceal the end of the thread in the center of the cord
 If a handbag is preferred without the metal clasp, crochet in the same manner as above, finishing the top with a scallop just below which the cord is run. Very danty bags of this description are seen in the shops this season.

Poison Caused By Fatigue

Another interesting point about this poison is that it is not simply the car bonic acid gas which is familiarly known to be one of the main products of tissue waste; and still another is that it does not circulate in the blood, that is, that it does not appear in the blood current, but is found in the juices about and through all the mus cles after exercise or work.
 During hours of rest and sleep the poison is being rapidly worked off by the system, being eliminated by the kidneys, and probably by the liver, too, but especially by the lungs in the good, long, deep breathing of sound sleep. Loss of sleep makes one feel muscle-weary. but sound sleep rests the tired limbs

The frilling finishing the neck and sleeves is of white lawn with a scalloped edge. The extreme plain ness of this frock makes it a useful style for a school dress in some prac- tical fabric, and if wanted it can be made much smarter with a skirt tucked at the hips and the neck cut square.

AN ENGLISH COOKS EXPERT
 ENCE.
By Martha McculIoch Williams.


 Because I have baked in 9ape- Bags after NJ Soyer's method, l give full credence to this report from Eng land, where tho, sands of housewives have discarded the pot-and-pan meth cd of cooking for the paper bag sys- tenn. l may add that I have myself verified by actual demonstration most fellow housewives in full confidence of its accuracy.
 The chef" runs the report, "has cooked the following items without the use of single dish or tin of any description, merely pouring the food into the bag, to the undisguised aston ishment of every cook and housewife in the audience:
 Yorkshire Pudding
 Fruit cakes in all varieties.
 Puff Omelets.
 Jam Turnovers.
 Stewed 'reen Cages. Banana Pasties.
 Fruit Vol-au-vents.
 Despite the fact that no tins nor dishes whatever have been used in the cooking of the above items, the brownness, consistency, tenderness or ltghtness of everything, has been a revelation of perfect cookery to those who have seen or tasted the food"
 The ome.et, as most mar elo=s, de lp1 hn n1aPn honor. It was thus made and pro pertioned:
 Omelet Souffle.-Work four yolks of eggs with two and a half ounces of castor sugar to C light cream. Whisk up five whites of eggs to stiff froth and add them carefully to the creamed yolks, togett [ with level table spoonful of corn flour. A few drops of vanilla essence should also be added to flavor the omelet. Have ready a we'll buttered 0ag pour in the omelet mixtures carefully, seal and place on the grid shelf When done place on hot dish and remove the paper bag. Make an incision in the center of the omelet and put into it two or three spoonfuls of jam.
 Here is the fruit cake cooked with out a pan, inside paper bag. It sounds not only toothsome, but fes- tive: Take eight ounces fresh but ter, eight ounces caste sugar and four new-laid eggs, and beat up well together into thick cream. To this mixture add eight ounces best white flour, four ounces sultana raisins, four ounces dried entrants and four ounces candied peel. Stir the whole mixture hard till thoroughly blended and pour
