I ash, king of Israel, 1856 B. c., all of
whom inflicted more or less damage.
In 701 B. G. Sennacherib laid siege
TO Jerusalem, but was forced to with
draw. In 597 and more effectualiy in
$50 Babylon took possession of the
city, sacked it and deported the
"elite" of its inhabitants to Babylon.
Jerusalem was then reduced to the
.1osition of an insignificant town.
A new chapter begins with the re-
turn of the exiles under zerubbabel
and Joshua $50 B. c. A new temple
was begun in $50 and after long de-
lay caused by the Vaccinations of the
Samaritans, was completed in 515.

Lapse In History.
We know practically nothing OF its
history for more than a century, until
Syria. The gates of Jerusalem were
opened to him, and he left the Jews in
peaceful occupation.
The revolt Of the Maccabees
brought, however, fresh succession
of troubles upon it. 1t was ,besieged
by the Greeks in 139, 1874, 60 and SO
B. c., and the temple was pillaged in
90 B. G. The Roman domination I'M
der Herod brought an interval of
peace, Herod built a palace, restored
the citadel Antonio, and in 10 B. G. |
began the erection of the third temple. |
Jerusalem is very closely identified |
with the earthly life of Jesus Christ |
1t was to the great Jewish festival |
there he was taken by his parents. /
Here they lost him and on returning

he uttered his plaintive cry, 20 Jeru-

occurred just over seventy years later.
Tt was TO Jerusalem he went for the

RABBIT
NO LONGER PEST
Flesh Il Now Canned for Food

Fully 2OO,OOO,OoO wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year,
according to estimates made by the
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture. Many of
the number are jack rabbits, the ma
jority Of Which have not been utilized
In the past.
If all the rabbits killed were con-
sumed they would represent between
100000 and 100000 tons Of valuable
food, and If proper measures were
taken to insure the collection Of skins
these alone would have value Of
$2O,OOO,OOO. The biological survey has
been frequently asked to check the
rabbit pest. In view Of the probable
economic value of rabbit meat and fur
In the coming few years, the energies
Of the farmers and ranchmen will be
directed to the conservation of this i'm
portant resource. Already a number
Of establishments for collecting, dress
Ing, canning and shipping rabbit meat
are in operation in western centers'
As in Australia, the transition of the

status as pest to source OF pront

surnames Were First Used
IN France in Tenth Century

Surnames, so called from the early
practice of writing them over the
Christian, or FIRST" names (sur. mean
ing on or over). were first used In
France early in the tenth century, and
were introduced into England after
the conquest by William Of Normandy.
As all know, the people Of the Bible
had but one name, usually significant
Of some feature Of their birth. e. g.,
Benjamin, "son Of my strength" But
as the population Increased, and the
names become SO common as to no
longer convey individuality, the Gus
tom arose of adding the parents name
thus, Joshua, son of Nut. Hebrew
names survive In changed form In our
most common English names. Ben5a-
min has been shortened to Benson,
Bentley. Benari, etc. Levi survives tu
Lewis aud Elias In Ellis.

UNSEEN TRAVELLERS

I met many travellers
Who the road had surely kept;
They saw not my fine revellers- -
Those had crossed them while they
slept.
Some had heard their fair report,
In the country or the court.
Fleetest courtiers alive
Never yet could once arrive
AS they went or they returned.
At the house where these sojourned.
Sometimes their strong speed they slack
en-,
Though they arc not overtaken;
In sleep their Jubilant troop Is near
In tuneful voices overhear;
It may be In the wood or waste
AS unawares tits come anN past.
Their near camp my spirit knows
BY signs. gracious as rainbows.

Listen to their harplike laughter.
And carry in my heart for days
Peace that hallows rudest ways:

I. o.s is tie Time to Start
Garden Operations for,the
Successful 1919 Patches.

b The home vegetable gardens have
been a great success as food producers
I the past season, despite the fact that
most people were late in starting. The
planting Of large number of gardens
will be even more essential next year
If we are to meet the food-production
requirements. Now is the time, ad-
vises the United States department OF
agriculture, to start your garden Op-
erations for next year by securing the
use of a vacant lot, or other land, hav-
ing it plowed or spaded and well fer
tilized this autumn so that it will be
In shape for planting as early In the
next spring as the weather will permit.
BY getting possession of the land now,
all clearing away Of stones and other
refuse can be done before winter. If
the soil is Of clay formation or has
q sod upon it, it should be broken up
this autumn and allowed to lie exposed
to freezing and thawing during the
winter months. .-...
As rule manure can be more easily
obtained in the autumn than in the
spring, and there. is no objection to ap-
plying the manure now and allowing it
to lie upon the soil during the winter
months, working it into the soil when
fitting it for planting. If plenty of ma
nure is obtainable heavy dressing
should be turned under and then sec
ond coating of fine manure applied to
tho surface of the plowed or spaded
soil. If the land is broken up this au'
tumn it will be much easier to get In
shape for planting next spring. In
many sections onions, kale and spinach
can be planted this autumn. A garden
will help to feed the family. Make
start this fall.

SPR0UTED OATS
FOR POULTRY

Oats can be sprouted In shallow
wooden boxes, with sides, about three
to five inches deep, such as are used
by nurserymen for seedlings, the chief
factors for their growth being sufti-
cient but not too much moisture, to-
gether with light and warmth. In the
summer there is no difficulty about
the latter points, but in some sections
farther north In winter either a green
house, corner of the kitchen. scullery,
or warm outhouse are necessary for
obtaining sufficient heat for rapid
sprouting. ...-
The oats should be spread thickly
over the bottom Of the box, and at
first watered freely. so that they be-
come thoroughly soaked, and as
sprouting progresses see that just suf-
flcient moisture Is supplied to keep
them growing, but not to rot the roots.
A little experience will soon tell the
amount of oats which will yield the
best results. 9. "a
To keep up continuity of supply, a
fresh planting should. be made about
every three days, and the sprouted
oats fed to the fowls when they are
from four to six inches high. A sod
of these cut out is rare treat to
poultry when other green food Is
scarce. II preferred, the oats, before
spreading in the boxes. can be thor
oughly soaked In tub of water. and
this, where they are kept within doors,
will do away with the attendant mess
of at first watering the boxes freely.
