HERE AND THERE.

Gods approval is the sweetest balm
that can fall upon a tired soul and,
conversely, Gods disapproval is the
sharpest and most persistent thorn that
can get into ones pillow. The thought
that our habitual lives are leading us
from our low vaulted past" into fields
"nobler than the last" affords divine
pleasure that transcends all pleasures
of the sense and tends to wipe away
the Shiny trail of sensuality.

Tough on the Lazy Postmasters.

The new Postmaster General had the
idea that all postmasters should work
as hard as anyone else in the Office, and
in an interview has indicated that the
government eight hours day is little
enough time for even political post
master to devote to the affairs of his
Office. He is fixing up a bad program
for officials who use their offices as
side-issues, while giving attention to
some regular line of business. Demo
cratic Congressman are not enthusiast
tic over these expressions of their
Postmaster General. as most Of them
have friendly editors whom they
would like to annex TO the stamp-sell-
ing receipts Of the pde toffices in their
districtsA

Scarcity of Tourists One Of the
Causes of Distress.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
JERUSALEM, June IS, 1913
Owing to the war. and the consequent
falling off in the pilgrim and tourist
traffic, on which Jerusalem mainly sub
sists, business is unusually slack and
great distress prevails, aggravated by a
financial crisis. which was brought about
by a glue OF small coin imported By ma
tive spectators from Trfpoh and Mace
donna The enormous increase in the
cost OF living is also maintained, and
there arc no singns Of improvement IN
that respect.
The main local industry Of Jerusalem is
the production of souvenirs and articles
de piete In olive wood End nlother-of-
pearl The last-named industry has
hitherto been q speciality Of the inhab-
itants Of Bethlehem, but it is now carried
on to some extent by Bethlehemites es-
tablished in Paris, who send their goods
to Jerusalem for sale.
Although an idea prevails that the
population OF Jerusalem might be esti.
mated at 10000. 1t is probable that 5000
Is nearer the mark. and 1t should be noted
that. since the extension OF compulsory
military service to non-Moslems. there
has been marked tendency to emigrac
ton among the more intelligent and edu-
Gated Jews and Christians. q tendency
which Is further accumulated by the
abuses Of the tax collector and the en-.
couraging reports received from friends
