Until the nineteenth century the
manufacture of screws was a rather

in that year machinery began to be
constructed both in this country and
abroad and screwmaking became thor.

The landlords own most Of the
land in Ireland and rent 1t out to the
farmers. who assert that 1t Is poor
and consequently they have a hard

their families and pay the rent.
Most of the land seems to be used
for pasturage and but little of 1t Is
under cultivation, as are the lands of
Italy, Germany and France. Be-
sides, there is a great waste caused
by the building of wide turf fences.
There are more fences to farm in

"THE HOLY CITY,"

Thirty men, red-eyed and dishev-
elcd, lined up before a Judge OF the
San Francisco police court 1t was
the regular morning company OF
"drunks and disorderlies." Some
were old and hardened, others hung
their heads in shame. Just as the
momentary disorder ;'tending the
bringing in of the prisoners quieted
down a strange thing happened. "a
strong, clear voice from below began
singing.
Last night as I lay a-sleeping,
There came dream so fair"
Last night! 1t had been for them
all a nightmare or a drunken stupor.
The song was a contrast to the hor-
rible fact that no one could fail OF
a sudden shock at the thought the
song suggested.
Il stood in old Jerusalem,
Beside the Temple there"
the song went on. The judge had
paused. He made quiet inquiry.
A former member of a famous opera
company, known all over the country,
was awaiting trial for forgery. 1t
was he who was singing in his cell.
Meantime the song went on, and
every man in the line showed emo
tioA. One or two dropped on their
knees one boy, at the end of the line,
after desperate effort at self-con-
troll, leaned against the wall, buried
his face against his folded arms, and
sobbed, "Qh, mother, mother!"
The sobs, cutting to the very heart
the men who heard, and the song,
still yelling its way through the
court room blended in the hush.
At length one man protested.
Judge" said he, "have we got to
submit to this? We're here to take
our punishment, but this" He,
too, began to sob.
1t was impossible to proceed with
| the business of the court, yet the
| judge gave no order to stop the song.
| The police sergeant, after an effort to
keep the men in line stepped back
and waited with the rest. The song
moved on to its climax.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Sing
for the night is DER!
Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna
for evermore!"
In an ecstasy of melody the last
words rang out, and then there was
silence.
The judge looked into the faces OF
the men before him. There was moi
one who was not touched by the
