THE PUBLIC AND THE PAPERS.

The publication of a daily paper in Henderson
is a newspaper experience that is being watched
by the fraternity all over the State with a con-
siderable degree of interest. The Daily Gold
Leaf frankly states that if the patronage just-
hes, 1t will stay in the field, otherwise not.
Recently it had an editorial headed when
1t Suffers Most" in which it called attention
to criticisms which had been made Of it be-
cause of the fact that it does not compare
favorably with the larger papers.
1t is as singular thing, but a fact that folk,
never seem to realize fully that it costs money
to run a newspaper and that a newspaper =
Sood just in proportion as money is wisely eX-
pehoed on 1t. The average person thinks that
a newspaper IS a sort of -Alman agency
ana that by some means it can just automat-
lcally meet the demands on it for news. He
ooes not inquire on how the thing is done, he
SIMPLY expects it to be done.

to Keep Furniture in Re-
pair.

These are the days when the eco
nomical housewife begins to LOOK
over the furniture around the house
to find out just what pieces need re-
pairing and which ones are in good
enough condition to last another win
ter.
It is always a wise plan to touch
up furniture, either in the way OF
oiling or vanishing, just as soon as
it begins to look the least bit shabby.
In this way everything around a
house may be kept in perfect condl-
ton and much money saved, for to
let every piece of furniture run down
until it looks about to fall to pieces
is no real economy and shows de-
cidedly careless housekeeper.
1t often takes three times as much
money to fix over furniture which
has been allowed to get into this state
of disrepute as it does to have each
piece repaired as it begins to sho"
the wear of years.
Often, too, with few cents worth
of varnish or oil the housekeeper can
do all the touching up that is re-
quired. The real wood of the various
furniture sets around the house
should never be vanished with any
thing which will destroy the grain OF
the wood from sight. Walnut furni-
ture, for instance, should be oiled, as
the beauty of this wood lies in its
smooth, waxlike appearance.
A certain kind of wax may be used
also for polishing walnut or mahog-
any tables. Mahogany furniture,
however, looks best when polished
with one of the various furniture
polishes which are prepared for this
beautiful wood. Cheap furniture can
be restored to very good condition
by reliable varnish, and often these
pieces can be painted over with splen-
did results.

SuperStitiOnS in New York.

That superstitions brought from
Europe by immigrants survive in New
York many inspectors and nurses of
the department of health are willing
to testify.
If a child is suffering from diff
Guilty in breathing as result of en-
larged tonsils or adenoids, the parents
will sometimes tell the health inspec-
tors that as God put the adenoids
or enlarged tonsils in the child's
body they should not be removed,
and that to do so would not only
make the child's throat too wide, al
lowing the air to rush into the lungs
and thereby causing inflammation of
the chest, but that the power of
speech would be seriously interfer-
ed with.
Again, when it is discovered that
a child is suffering from defects of
the teeth the representative of the
department of health are sometimes
told that to pull teeth gives children
sore eyes, while it is bad luck for
any poor child to have gold or silver
placed in it's mouth, as may be pec-
essary in treating bad teeth. In one
case the mother of the child concern
ed showed her toothless mouth and
said: Il have no teeth, yet I'm still
alive
A suggestion that child's hair be
cut brings the reply that to do so
might retard the growth of the child
and also lessen his strength.
In the case of defective vision, If
the parents are advised to permit the
child to be fitted for eyeglasses the
retort is frequently made that eye
glasses are a luxury, that they add
age to the child's appearance, and
that if the child becomes accustomed
to wearing glasses his eyes will grow
weaker. In the case of girl, it is
believed that the wearing Of eye
glasses will interfere with her
chances for marrying.
Among some parents the belief eX-
lists that the evil eye may be warded
off by the mother licking the child's
,a&es and face, or by sewing salt in
he part of the child's clothing, or
ing red ribbon around his neck
IN other instances child's weak
memory is attributed to the fact that
he is in the habit of eating the hard
ends of bread loaves.-New York

HOLY CITY WALLS FOR SALE.
Jerusalem Soon to Be MOderniZed
With Electric Lights.

Very shortly the sacred streets of
the Holy City will hum with the noise
of the electric tram cars and its
more important thoroughfares will
be Illuminated at night with the
electric light. It's old picturesque
walls, and massive towers are to be
pulled down and the city is to have
an adequate water supply.
The rapidity with which Jerusalem
is extending, through the return OF
the Jews in such large numbers to
the city of their forefathers, has
rendered these improvements neces-
sary. Indeed, to the north and west
of the old city there have sprung up
within the last decade large Jewish
colonies, populous residential Sec
tions. as we'll as converts, hosplces,
institutions, schools and other build
ings, with the result that today
there is a greater Jerusalem without
the walls than within.
Four separate tramWay routes are
to be laid down. They will all start
from the Jaffa Gate, the principal
entrance into the city, and run OUT
side the city walls through the newer
parts of Jerusalem. The first, which
will have a length of about two miles,
will give easy access to what may be
termed the business quarter of the
Holy City, while the second, of SINH
lar length, will link up the large
Jewish colonies to the north with the
city's principal entrance. The third
will encircle the old city, embracing
many of it's most historic sites, such
as Gordon's Calvary, believed by
many scholars to have been the
scene of the Crucifxion; the Tomb Of
the Kings, the Mount of Olives and
the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
The fourth line will run from the
Jaffa Gate to Bethlehem, some six
miles distant, traversing what is per-
haps the most sacred thoroughfare
in the world 1t teens with reputed
oily places-sacred wells, tombs,
and converts. The work of laying
the rails is to begin next April, and
according to the terms of the conces-
sion the syndicate has power to eX-
tend the lines in any direction for
distance of some 25 miles.
The city walls, which have cir
cumference of about three miles and
rise in places to a height of SO IL
feet, are now being offered by the
government for sale as building ma
terial. 1t is expected, however, that
efforts will be made to save isolated
sections, more particularly the mas
sive towers Indeed, influential Cit
izens of Jerusalem have formed So
ciety and are approaching the gov
ernment with a view to preserving
David's Tower, which they propose to
convert into a museum.
Of late years Jerusalem has SUI
fered greatly from the want of fresh
water. With the exception Of small
quantity brought into the city from
the ancient pools of Solomon, near
Bethlehem, by means of pipe, which
runs along the old aqueduct, the Holy
City is entirely dependent for it's wa
tor upon the rainfall. Now reservoirs
are to be built in the upper part OF
the valley of the Brook Cherltn,
where the water will be stored and
brought into the city as required.
Jerusalem is gradually being western
lied.
