them effectively and efficiently
Fortunately practical principles of
agriculture are neither difficult to

subject appeals to rural pupils be-

their immediate interests.
Rural life can be wonderfully
improved by the united efforts Of
teachers to promote real. genuine

in the principles and practices Of

Jerusalem.-Of three holy cities that
are popular places Of pilgrimage, Jeru-
salem, Mecca and Benares, the Turk
ish empire has two within her borders.
The Holy Land, as Christendom calls
the little strip of territory along the
Mediterranean coast north of Egypt,
Is an integral part of Turkey. 1t has
always been famous for the persist
ence of its ancient customs, so that
hundreds Of clergymen travel over it
every year, to get light on the Bible.
A generation hence, that search will
not be SO successful, for 1t is patent
that Palestine is sharing the awak-
Ing of the ancient east.
Not only Is there a railway from Bel.
rut to Damascus, and from Damascus
TO Haifa, and from Damascus to Me-
dina, and from Jaffa to Jerusalem. but
there is also projected at the present
time new railway that will go down
the coast from Beirut through Sidon,
Tyre, Acre, Haifa and Jaffa. clear to
the Suez canal.
Improving on Solomon.
The ancient City of David has come
under the new influences OF modern
times. Negotiations are at preser.
pending for several radical and trans
forming innovations. The first of

are still In use, although the munich

Now 1t is proposed to bring water
from two sources, in Fara, north of
the Mount Of Olives, and Fawar, an
other spring in the same valley. 1t
has been found that this water Is

cities which gave Paul and his COM
panions sample of mob law or else
worshipped them as Gods.
The Ancient East Still Survives.
The country Is still pretty much as
II has been for millenniums. The cities
are now hidden under the debris of
ages. and the thriving commerce of
that older day has disappeared alons
with the marching legions. But the
wayside wells are identical with those
at which the thirsty soldiers used to
drink. The khans are built of mud
and straw. and are after the same type
as were known to the travellers before
Christ: indeed they cannot be very
different from that primitive khan in
Bethlehem wherein was born the
worlds Conqueror.
The dust from passing caravans en-
grimes the traveller. The soft.footed
camels who now come swaying along

matter Of three years. This will
mean wonderful opening up of trade.
Modern machinery will be brought in
to the country. New hotels and VIII
lagos are already coming into exis-
tence. Irrigation Is bound to follow
and the advent OF western fashions
will transform the life of Asia Minor.
The linking OF Constantinople with tho
northern Mediterranean region will
bring hundreds of tourists, and ali
they imply.
The scenery in the Taurus noun
tains Is beautiful beyond description.
The mountains of Scotland are not
comparable with It, and it ranks with
the best OF the Rockies and Switzcr-
land. Some of the peaks are snow
covered all the year round. There are
majestic gorges and precipices and
vistas. The natural beauties are en-.
hanced by frequent remains of antio.
uities.
In the narrowest part Of the Cilician
Gates is chiselled a tablet recording
the passage Of Marcus Aurelius. Ro.
man milestones dot the road, although
In some cases they have been altered
to bear Turkish numerals. The ia.
nous Cilician Gates proper have
proved too difficult for the railway en-
gineers, so they go through an upper
pass, which they consider somewhat
easier. At best the engineering diffi.
culties will be great. Once the noun
tains have been crossed, the railway
debouches upon the great Cilician
plain beyond which sparkles the Medi.
terranean.
Nobody Is willing to prophesy how
long 1t will take the railroad to cross
from Adana above the head of the
Mediterranean to Aleppo and then
down into Mesopotamia- When that
day does come. 1t will be a notable
event in eastern politics az we'll as in
commerce. In the meantime, there
are those who say that the Germans
Will never be permitted to complete It

HOW BIRTH WAS ESTABLISHED
Calls Birthday Was Recorded, Thus
the Age Of the Human Being 4
Became Known.

DR.. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief stalisti-
clan of the bureau of census in Wash
ington, tells story taken from court
records which, according to the Wo-
mans Home Companion, fairly typifies
the national attitude toward vital staA
tistics
Farmer Hadley," he said, "of In
diana on dying left his valuable farm
in trust to his unthrifty son, to be-
come the property of his granddaugh-
ter on her twenty-first birthday. -
"The girl had been told the date of
her birth and when her twenty-firstr
anniversary, as she supposed, came
around, she claimed her inheritance.
But her father refused to surrender
the farm, asserting that she was only
nineteen
THE dispute was taken into court.
The family Bible was appealed to, but
the page for births and deaths wan
blank. The father had rendered no re-
port to the town authorities; the fam
lily doctor was dead. Finally neigh
Dor remembered that a certain cow,
much priced by the grandfather, had
given birth to calf on the very day
when the girl was born and he could
swear to it. n
Perhaps, the court opined, the
grandfather had recorded the birth Of
the calf! The old farm book, careful
ly preserved in the family strong box,
sustained the judges theory; all the
circumstances Of the calf's birth were
fully recorded. And thus the birthday
Of the human being was at length esJ
tablished.
Talk about the registration of
births in the United States," exclaims
DR.. Wilbur, "why, for not much more
than one-half Of the total population is
there a fairly accurate registration of
deaths, to say nothing of births, Of
which we have nowhere in the country
reliable or complete information, and
many Of the states are so little con-
cerned about human life that they
make no more account of the deaths
Of their citizens than of the trees they
burn to make clearings"

David, carrying passengers past the
Mosque of Omar, which is the site of
the ancient Temple of the Jews. Imag-
Inc the wOrshipers of the Temple dis

At present most of the streets are
as narrow as footpaths. When the
soft-stepping camel comes along. as he
does every few minutes, all pedes-
trlans must stand aside in the re-
cesses of the baZars, or against the
walls, to make way for his passage.
Even the plodding donkey, who. still
as of yore, is the favored beast of bur-
den, takes nearly the whole street
when he passes.

A telephone system also is on the

modern business of Jerusalem is done
