Strategically-tbe same udvan tage which the possessors of Egyp have always found in the poksessior of Palestine. That land 'is a fortrea by which to bold tbe Asiatic invade far away from the Egyptian frontier and from which to threaten bim with ot easy of access from Egypt, nevertheless, given : strong, hostile power in Asia, Egyp has always found it gacessar} to holc Palestine In order protest itself Politically and morally the gain is enormous. The conquest of Jerusalen will find its' echo not only among ths twelve million Jews, orthodox and an orthodox, infidels and believers, whe look to Jerusalem as their sacred city and who.are rejoicing everywhere ir every land in the hope that its re clamation from Terkish misrule ane tyranny may mean a Jéwish nationa' revival. Jerusalem is a sacred eity for many times twelve mjllion Chris tians, and many times twelve million Moslems. Its cohquest by the British will consolidate . politically, by its moral influence, the British position in Egypt, enhance .Britain's prestige with its Moslem subjects In- India, as also that of ber allies in Moslem Af- rica, and it will tend to rangé all the Arabic-speaking subjects of Turkey on her side. It will have a profound influence on the minds of countles: Russian peasants who look to a pil- grimage to Jerusalem with certainly as great a. longing as do the most pious Jews, and it may consequently prove helpful in the general attitude of Russia toward the allies. it will touch profoundly also the religious sentiment of: France and Italy and Spain and Austria, from which Roman Catholic pilgrims in VALTE Takiug What 'thousands yearly visit Jerusalem as a pious act. The simple people in those countries cannot belp but. look with a certain favor on the Christian pow- er which has redeemed the Holy City and. the sacred sites from the infidel. What part pilgrimages to the Holy Land play in all those countries, those only can realize who have vifited Palestine. Enormous sums of money .have been invested in hosp'ees and institutions of every sort for the en- tertainment of pilgrims. Schools hos- pitals, and religious establishments, Russian, Italian, Spanish, French, Austrian, German, English, Armen- ian, and even Abyssinian dot the Holy Land, and cluster especially in and about Jerusalem.--American Review of Reviews, His Point of View. This week's story from the front: One of Gen. Allenby's advance pa- trols had ridden up a ridge in. Pales- tine, and there, outspread before their eyes like a panorama, was the Holy City--=Jerusalem. It was some miles distant, but :n the clear air the flat-roofed houses wére plainly visible, broken here and there by domes and minarets, Ejaculations expressive of surpris- ed admiration broke from the lips of all the troopers--all but one man, who remalned silent, his face, how- ever, plainly expressing contemptu- ous disapproval. "What do you think of 1t? asked his officer, curious to learn the rea- son for his dissatisfaction. "Awfu' scarge of chimbleys, sir," was the reply. "Awfu' scarce of chim- bleys!'* "Chimpeyrs! reed chimpeys in Jerusalem. burn charcoal." "Oh, they do, do they? Wouldn't like to live there." "Why not?" "Well, gir, in civil life, you see, | am a chimney-sweep. " But, man, they don't - They Then 1 Tommy at the Opera. Whole battalions of Thomas At- kinses, now' that the long-expected snowfall has buried the Austro-Ger-|. mans in deep Alpine drifts, have been paying visits to the Milan Opera House and receiving immense ova- tions. By way of acknowledgment, Tommy gave the "Tipperary" and created a sensation, as well he might, in that sacred Mec- ca of Itallan opera. Flowers were showered upon him in most embar- rassing fashion, The reason of this delicate attention may be the kilts, at which the people gaze in undisguised amazement, One veteran peasant ex- claimed, 'Fancy, ;gomen as well as men go to war in that country, and yet they look as theugh they would make mincemeat of the Germans." Little wonder that some of these kilt. ed "ladies" received not only flowers, but equally embarrassing kisses. What Is a Night Well? In the desert of Western Australia there are wells which yield water only at night. Before the water begins to flow weird hissings and the sound of rushing air may be heard. The phe nomenon is believed to be due to a change in the form of the rocky chan- nel through which the water flows, and to the extreme change in tem- perature between day and night whica occurs in this region. The hissing 's due. to the escape of alr before the} advance of the water.--Popular Sci- ence Monthly. | The Twins Named, . tego you have twins at your house?" sald Mrs. Nabor to little Jack.

Present Unsatisfactory Conditions Giving the Post Office Authorities Great Deal of Trouble--Strects That Should Be Considered. That It is high time that some steps should be taken by the civie authori- ties to re-number the houses on cer- tain streets, is the opinion of the local post office authorities, apd with the hope that the matter will receive fmmediate attention, deputy postmas- ter C. G. Shannon has written to Mayor Hughes, A letter has also been forwarded to the Board of Trade, asking that body to take up the mat- ter, in the interests of the city. In his letter io the Mayor ang the Board of Trade, Mr. Shannon says: "Some years ago, 1 reported to the City Couneil the very unsatis- factory numbering of the city streets.

Rideau, Sixth, Quebee, Charles, Union, Bagot, Frontenac, Russell, Nelson, Stephen, Victoria, York and William, There are streets in the city where the same number appears on two houses, and one can well imagine the difficulty that is experienced' by the sorters at the post office and the letter carriers. It is only through the letters carriers becoming -ac- gnainted with the streets, that the work of delivery can be carried on satisfactory, In the case of a new carrier getting on these routes, the work is madé very difficult. .During the summer months, while letter carriers aré enjoying their holidays, the men will of necessity be shifted around, and there is sure to be trou- ble with the delivery: The matter of renumbering some of the streets has been discussed fro time to time by one of the civic com- mittees, and a start was made at renumbering; but the necessary money was never voted, It is largely a matter of finance, Dr. A; P.
