Take Pictures of Drunk Papa.

New York; Mamma should take picture of papa when he comes home drunk and hang it in a conspicuous place where he can see it when he wakes up with a parched tongue and a headache in the morning" This was the advice given by Magistrate MOrti- mer Brown after he had listened to six cases of husbands abusing their wives while intoxicated. "YOung girls marry drunkards to reform them, but you can't reform a rummy," the mag istrate said.

great rising under Bar-COchba. The rebellion was stamped out with much bloOdshed. Emperor Hadrian, in re building Jerusalem, changed its name to Aelia Capitolina and decreed that no Jew should dwell in it. Never since that day has Jerusalem been a Jewish city or Palestine a Jewish land.
 Ascalon's history was naturally trOublous in times like these. In 1480 B. C., say the Tel-el-Amarna tablets, the native chiefs and DagOn-worship- CTS who ruled the city were paying tribute to the Pharaoh of Egypt. The place was captured successively by the great Rameses IT,, and by King As surbanipal of Assyria.
 It later became one of the five towns of the Philistine confederacy. ''Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice" is written in 1T Samuel l 20. It came into the hands of the tribe of Judah, but it remained an enemy of the Hebrews to the last
 Ascalon long belonged to the Romans. In the Seventh century it came into possession of the Saracens.
 In 1899 was fought the great battle on the plains of Ascalon in which the Crusaders under Godfrey de Bouil- Ion were victorious. The city was taken and retaken during the wars of the Crusaders.
 The end of Ascalon came in 1270, when it was destroyed by the Sultan Bibars. It was then that its harbor was filled in. It was then that it be- came a desolation.
 Herod the Great was the ruler who beautified Ascalon. Herod is the family name of group of rulers of Palestine. The family had its origin in Antipater, an Idumean (Edemite); who in the last century before Christ was made by the Romans governor of Edom, Judea, Samaria and Galilee His son was Herod the Great, who was made king of Judea and reigned from 39 to B. c. It was HerOd Ahtipas, son of Herod the Great, tetraFch of Galilee, who beheaded John the Bap- tist and to whom Jesus was sent by Pilate. The Herods were Jews only in the sense that the EdOmites were conquered and compelled to embrace Judaism about 130 B. c. E1 5.
 Herod the Great ruled the8 Jews with an iron hand, ruthlessly murder ing all whom he considered enemies, including even the brother of his wife Marianne When he left his court on a dangerous mission to Rome he left word that in the event of his death, Marianne should be killed also. This jealous decree started a quarrel

with his wife, which ended only when he had her put to death. Having started his reign in this fashion he continued in his career of crime and lust, not hesitating even to strangle his own sons. Religious enemies he generally preferred to have burned alive.
 He finished his days in the most frightful physical and mental tOrments, just after ordering the massacre of the innocents in the year of Christ'S birth. Emperor Augustus, his friend, said of him: Tt is better to be HerOd's pig than his son." He had ten wives in all, and several of these at one time.
 Herod the Great had a passion for building. During the first decade of his reign he was too busy establish. ing himself to indulge his passion. Then he rehabilitated many cities. At Jerusalem, Jericho and Caesarea, he erected theaters, amphitheaters and hippOdrOmes. He rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem. He even restored and beautified cities in Syria, Asia Minor and Greece.
 HerOd, having been born at AscalOn, devoted much time and money to it's improvement. He beautified the city with baths and costly fountains, as also cloisters around a court, that were admirable both for their. work manship and largeness," according to Josephus.
 One of the finds at AscalOn is gigantic statue of Herod the Great.
 Another is the Court of Herod and its surrounding cloisters, mentioned by JOsephus.
 A third is a temple with massive marble columns. which may date back to the days when Ascalon, according to Herodotus, was famous for the wor- ship of Astarte tAstoreth), the god dess of fertility and fruitfulness, mentioned in I Samuel 31 :1O-"and they put his armor in the house of Astoreth. {. .. z This. was the arrnor of Saul, first king of Israel.
 In this connection there has been discovered a bas-relief representing the goddess with two attendants. Also statue of Venus has been un- covered.
 Asealon was the seat of worship of Astarte, more or less identified with the Assyrian Ishtar, the. Phoenician Astoreth, the Greek Aphrodite and thes Roman, Venus She is, often rep resented as half woman and half fish, a sort of divine mermaid A deep layer of. broken pottery has been dug up here, which probably marks the remains of vessels broken as part of the religious rites in her honor. But so far no trace has been found of the lake into which she plunged, accord ing to one story, being ashamed of her 'aisdeeds, and. was completely trans formed into a fish.
 The most famous legend concerning her tells of her descent into the under world, in search of the healing waters which are to restore to life her bride groom Tammuz, the young and beau tiful sun god, slain by the cruel hand of Winter.

 everyone has a thought of Jerusalem and Palestine. And Ascalon is close to Jerusalem and the birthplace or Herod the Great, who ordered the Massacre of the Innocents.'
 During the World war the activities of the Palestine Exploration fund were necessarily suspended. Now they have been resumed with extraordinary sue cess. Archaeologists are uncovering many splendid buildings of ancient days, some of them of great informa- tiOnal value. The greatest finds have been uncovered in Ascalon.
 The Palestine Exploration fund is society founded in London in 1865 for the accurate and systematic in- vestigation of the archaeology, topog- raphy, geology and physical geOgra- phy, natural history, manners and customs of the Holy Land for Biblical illustration. A preliminary expedition was made by Captain Wilson in the winter of 1865-6. Since then no less than eight expeditions for varying purposes have been sent out. Since 1869 the society has issued a quarterly statement and has published several works and maps. It maintains museum at its London office.
 AscalOn is desolation in the literal meaning of the word and has been a desOlation for many a year. Vegeta- tion is scanty. The once splendid harbOr has been filled up. The great walls and towers that surmOunted the ridge that surrounds the city lie in crumbled ruins. The confusion is extraordinary; the walls and towers appear to have been blown asunder by powder. Yet once the city must have been vision of beauty. Here and there broken columns of marble and granite tell of the glories of the past. Probably AscalOn once looked some thing like Jaffa, making allowance for the mOdernizing of that ancient city.
 Ascalon lies on the shore of the Mediterranean, in Judea, 36 miles southwest of Jerusalem. It was a fortified city in ancient times. How old it Is, nobody knows. It passed from the Egyptians to the Canaanites about 15O0 B. C.; in those days the Egyptians were the overlOrds of Pales- tine, which was then called Canaan. Between 1900 and HOO B. c. Philis- tines ard Hebrews struggled for pos session of Canaan. The Hebrews finally gained control and the Ca naanites were submerged. In 1O5O B. c. 1he divided Hebrew tribes were united into a kingdom under Saul David, his successor, completed the establish ment of Israelite supremacy in Pales- tine Under David and Solomon, for the first and only time in history, Palestine was the home of united people under enc central government.
 Then followed it's division into Israel and Judah. Then followed conquest by the Assyrians and by the BabylOnians and by the Persians and by the Egyptians and by the Romans. In % A. D. the struggle against Rome was ended by the capture and ruin of Jerusalem. In 132-135 4. D. was the
