The Rebuilding of Jerusalem.
rom fhn Tonlon T1r-s-1

From the London Jewish World.
About 8 p. m. the train reached
jerusalem. In an hour it would be
dark, and not to lose time I took a
cab and FASTENED to see that part oil
the city situated without the ancient
walls. did not recognize it. During
my nineteen years absence it had
completely changed. There is nc
empty space, and it is all built up. In
place of the old, dilapidated novels
that dis1gured the approach to the
Jaffa gate I found on both sides OF
the road large modern stores and
magnificent European hotels. A lit
tie further on there was fenced
space with a number of trees-very
much eglected-known as the park
and adjacent to the famous enclosure
containing the Russian Hospice, more
beautiful than ever.
For miles the long Jaffa road is
flanked north and south with in
numera bic buildings and streets bear
ing Hebrew names. Many of the large
buildings are new institutions, others
are the old ones which in my time
were located within the city in ruin
progress, and have removed into these
lofty and airy establishments.
Wherever my eye turned 1t beheld
stone houses and others half finished.
There is something uncanny about the
building fever that has been raging
for years in and around Jerusalem.
Building is the best, almost the only
industry, in the Holy City.

A large number of women philan-
thropists of England and America
q hundred years ago were Quakers,
and Mrs. Wakefield was one of the
number. Although she never adopted
the Quaker form of dress, and did not
accept their views that there was
harm in the theatre and dancing, still
she was a member of the Society or
Friends, and attended their religious
worship throughout her life. Not the
least of her claims to distinction lies
in the fact that she was the aunt OF
Mrs. Fry, the Quaker prison reformer.
Another celebrated woman born on
January 81 was Harriet Parr, who
was born in 1928. She wrote under the
assumed name of "Holme Lee" Her
novels, "Thorney Hail. and Gilbert
Massinger," were greatly admired by
the novelist Dickens.

In this country beech is the favor

manufacture of which has reached
considerable proportions in the United
States according to the department
of agriculture, which has just issued
a bulletin on the use of the wood.
These shoes, the department says,
cost from so to rs cents a pair and
are good for two years. They are
worn by those who have to work in
cold or wet places, such as tanneries'
breweries and livery stables, and by
the workmen in steel mills and glass
factories who must walk on hot
CRATES or floors. Farmers, too, are
classed among the users.

An Adventure In Democracy.
Brand whitlock, in Harper's Weekly.
This is what they call an off year;
nothing especially important in the
| political way is on hand Just now
We elect today municipal officials;
| not national officials, not State Of
fcials, not even county officials but
municipal officials, choosing the men
who for the next two years are to
direct our affairs right here at home.
| And yet l had to vote on eight bal
lots and make a mark with my pencil
nearly forty times. 1t is not the
| physical effort of which complain;
one may be called upon to waste
himself, even to give his life for his
country. 1t is the strain upon the
mind, upon the memory, upon the pa
triotic intelligence that l grumble
about. There were in this election
eight ballots, as l have said. One
was for the municipal officials, an
other for a commission to draw a new
charter for the city Ga thing In itself
unusual of course, one that should
have been attended to at a special
election, but there is always some
such thing. Another ballot was for
the school board, another for judge
of the city court, another for bond
issue for new school houses, another
for an increased tax levy to build
roads, another for a referendum on
a bill the prohibitioniSts initiated, and
the rest for various amendments to
the constitution of the State.
Now 1 contend that when I had
voted on all those propositions that
had been referred to the people, and
had expressed my choice for Mayor
and councilman, I had in that rela-
ton done my full duty as citizen. l
contend that, especially as I have to
vote on tax levies and bond issues
and constitutional amendments and
laws relating to moral and ethi-
cal problems, I should not be eX-
pected to select all the underlings for

and l cannot even express my own,
for l know nothing about these fell

will make good underlings or not.
For the most part, though I have been
a politician myself, I never heard of
them before. They were put on the
several tickets, or got themselves on
some way, and during the campaign
nobody ever said anything about
them, or made any illuminating
charges against them. so that there
is no human way to tell how bad they
are Everybody has been talking or
shouting or whispering about the can

George. In Progress and Poverty
George proved TO the satisfaction of

Haiti, the Black Republic.
I'm the New York World,

From the New York World.
The Republic of Haiti, the western
end of the island Columbus called
Little SPAIN" was the earliest ex-
ample of q nominal constitutional
government carried on by black men.
Columbus found 100000 friendly
Indians on the island Slavery killed
them off, and negroes from Africa
multiplied in their stead OF these
!. 500, 900 descendants now live in
Haiti Nearly all are pure black;
the mulattoes diminish in number.
The whites were massaered or driven
away in the revolutionary wars.
The present republic had belonged
to France a century when the French
Revolution began. Slavery was then
abolished, a black rebellion took place
and the British invaded the island;
but Toussaint rOuverture, black
George washington, drove them out
and set up a constitution. Napoleon
sent his brother in-law, General Lee
clerc (pretty Polly Bonaparte's hus-
band) to subdue the blacks. He made
peace with Toussaint seized him
treacherously and sent him to Paris.
But the same year, 1903, that Tous-
saint died in prison there, the French
fed from the island. Its people were
thus the first to get the better of Ma
poleon, four years before the reverses
in Spain, nine years before Moscow
Leclerc had died in 1902.
The Spanish portion of the island
broke loose from Spain and was
joined to Haiti, but was separated in
1874 as the Republic of Santo Do
mingo.
This is the record of Haitien chief

From Journal of American Medical As
soeiation.
At a meeting OF the Royal Colonial
Institute in London recently DR.. NAL
colin Watson gave an account of his
work In the prevention of malaria
in the Federated Malay States. He
showed that pool breeding mosquitoes
could be abolished by open drainage,
that stream breeders could not be so
abolished, but required drainage, and
that countries with no hill stream
breeders had no hill malaria. He de-
scribed investigations which he had
carried out in other parts of the
world where malarious conditions
more or less prevailed, in the Duars
at the foot of the Himalayas, and
in the Jeypore hills In Madras; in
Sumatra, Panama, British Guiana
and Barbados, and declared that the
new knowledge had given absolute
control over the malaria of low, fiat
land. and high hopes Of control over
that In hill land. There was also
every hope of abolishing malaria
from rice fields. He believed that the
prevention of malaria, the improve
ment in health of the agriculturist
and the cultivation Of the land We're
all intimately connected and that
what helped the one would improve
the other. The enormous CONNER
cial value of the control or prevention
of malaria In tropical countries will
be appreciated by all familiar with
conditions in these localities.
