There was not room for them a}! in the so-called “ Jewish quarter” within the walls ; they therefore built themselves new houses about the northern and western gates, thus adding considerably to the extent of the modern , n,_-1'l_ annnéhuihfot‘ Ling Fraud Who Bad 0 bloatreal Public for Ye conSIuerumy In: only mu..-" -_ city. These houses are usually constructed in groups under the direction of some foreign society interested in the restoration of the Jews to their country, and sold to their tenants on terms to suit their circum- stances. _ i v ”41... ‘LAI‘A arc Besides those in Jerusalem, were are numbers of Jews in other cities of Palestine, especially Jafi'a, Hebron, Haifa, Tiberius and Safedâ€"in all, 15,849. The most interesting fact to be noticed, however, is the appearance in recent years OX dewxsu UUIVubv-a u. ...--v V, K true. There are no fewer than nine of them in the vicinity of J afl'a. In these c010nies there are 1,016 Jews of all ages who are en‘ aged in cultivating 11,932 acres of land. he principal crop is wxne, but fruit and rain also in large quantities are produced. here is a. small colony of ten persons on a tract of 1,250 acres of land near Jerusalem. In the northern part of the country there are several colonies. The largest in all Palestine, consisting of 500 Roumanian Jews, occupies 2,758 acres of land between Mount Camel and the ruins of Caesarea. In the neighborhood of Saf ed are six colonies t: with 486 members, who cultivate in all ‘ 5,303 acres of the (to them) sacred soil. t appears, therefore, that there are â€"-or were in 1891â€"2,6l2 Jews m Palestine, en- gaged in earning their bread by agriculture, and that they have possession of 20,243 acres of land. These figures, however, do ' not represent the extent to which this movement has progressed, for, besides the libel under cultivation, there are 59,512 acres more that have been bought for the â€"--~--- .: mlnnimtion.

About half of this is in a single tract beyond the Jordan near the line of the proposed railroad from Haifa to Damascus. This tract was pur- chased by Baron Edmund Rothschild, who is more or less interested in at least nine of the colonies now in operation. The whole number of Jews now in Pales- tine, according to Dr. Dalman, is 43,783, and the whole amount of land held by them or those interested in their welfare is 80,755 acres.

The Scientific American gives this recipe for diphtheria,which all the world ought to know;--At the first indication of diphtheria in the throat of a. child make the room close, then take a. tin cup and pour into it a. small quantity of tar and turpentine, equal parts. Then hold the cup over the ‘ fire so as to fill the air With the fumes. The little patient, on inhallng the fumes, Wlll‘ cough up and spit out all the membraneoua ‘ matter, and the diphtheria. will pass out. The fumes of the tar and turpentine loosen the matter in the throat, and thus afford the relief that has bafiled the skill of the physicians. Care should be exercised to avoid setting fire to the mixture, but the risk is small as only a. small quantity need be placed in the cup at a time. i ‘ ‘- "v n! nun TRUE POSITION IN SLEEP. Concerning the natural postion of the bed? in sleep, Dr. Charles 07 Files has this to say : - Complete relaxation of the entire muscular system is the first great es°ential of sound, healthful sleep. The limbs should be slightly flexed or heat, and. the body so disposed that every muscle will be in an easy, com- fortablc position. The body itself should rest on the right side, with a slight inclina- ’ tion forward rather than backward. It-is not well to sleep either on the back 01‘ dll‘eflly on the chest. In neither position i can the limbs be properly flexed. Sleeping on the chest and lace, with mouth and nos- trils obstructed in the least by the pillows, is very injurious. During sleep the free ingress of air to the lungs should be an object of the greatest solicitude. The objections to sleeping on the leftsrde may he clearly apprehended by 00.111119: to mind the relative position of the stomach and liver.

The opening of navigation on the Koote- nai River trom Bonner’s Ferry, in North- ern Idaho, to the southern end of Kootenai ‘l Lake, says a correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, brings within easy and comfortable travel a. region which contains probably the most important deposit of high grade silver-bearing ores that has been 0 ened up in the past- twenty years on the orth American Continent.

Before noon you are at your journeys end, the new and thoroughly unique town of Kaslo, the metropolis of the Kaslo-Slocan district. occupying apretty and picturesque site on the shore of a. small bay on the western side of Kootenai Lake. Kaslo con- ‘ tains about 200 buildings, all of them trame structures finished in natural pine insid and out. There may be three or four wit painted exteriors, but not more. Kalso contains perhaps 1000 people, 95 per cent. of them males. It is a serious and actual fact that in respect of security of prop- erty and life this raw and un- painted mining camp is almost ideal. Crimes or offenses inVOlving physical violence are virtually unknown, and there is no such thing as robbery or larcency.

Here is a wonderful, yet in m'pzinciple, a simple, part of a mechanism, that is not going and from prior to the first feeble-cry, through all the vicissitudes of a long life, may never dare to stop. Through infancy, through the long and slowly passing years of childhood, this is something whose oper- ation must not be suspended for a moment- Other organs may temporarily suspend ac. tion, but not the heart. The stomach may not digest; other or- gans may not secrete; the cerehrum may suspend ratiocination; yet, with some dis- comfort, the suil'erer may be carried through; but the heart must not for an instant relax its vigil. The child merges into boyhood and goes through the years of his school life. With high and glowing hope he closes a collegiate course ; graduates, glances with fond anticxpation at the world around him, nor once thinks of the little engine within that in all this time, sleeping or waking, kept uninterruptedly at its silent task. ”wHWJJUJnâ€"tvâ€"râ€"v The boy has changed into a young man ; a new line of emotions now make him the subJect of their play. He awakes to the thrill of love ; it is the spring-time of his life, and in the vernal exuberance of this new-fledged feeling he woos and wins or is wooed and won, and with buoyant heart ‘ and rhythmic step treads on golden mist. It is but the same old pathway that was trodden when Babylon had yet to be, though he knows it not. His heart has never stopped an instant. The years accum- ulate ; his children come, and he sees them grow up and become the heads of families ; he may achieve to his utmost bent honor, power, glory, fame, renownâ€"all these may come, and yet all his honor and power, his glory, fame and position, all these may be L his, and yet all his aspirations and achieve- ; ments hinged on the ceaseless vigilance of ) that silent and hidden sentinel to whom he 3 seldom, 'if ever, stopped to bestow a ) thonght. ~ ,3 LL- .0.--" n; flan Ena HEARTS rune-r1985:- octogenarian ; he has seen 29,220 days ; he has lived through 701,280 hours, or 42,076,- 000 minutes, and, at the rate of 4200 heart pulsations per hour, this organ has struck the amazing number of 2,955,376,000 strokes ! THE FORCE THAT DRIVES THE HEART. Think of it. Place the index finger on the wrist and count only 100 and then consider that in eighty years there had not been a single five seconds of a stop; never once demanded holiday nor a. moment’s cessation of its toilâ€"not once through the long line of decades following decades, for cessation meant suspension, and such suspension is what we recognize as death. ! 77*). 3.. But what is it that keeps the heart in action? How is it when we sleep or are un- conscious and know not, that this action goes on? It is really a. simple arrangement, and as to its action continuing when we do not know, out not knowing has little or nothing to do with it, or the most of us should be in a. sorry plight. Life need not i be a “ mystery,” . c.‘ ._ V,AL_ __:1. U50 IIAJIIUV‘JI Avoiding all technicality, it may be sails that the heart derives the force that imped its pulsations from the cerebellum, or lower Lrain, and the force itself is an electric current. The brain mentioned is an electric storage, and generally carries a sufiicient ” head” 1n advance of immediate necessity. A mildam or steam boiler does the same I thing enelogouely. 1 AI,- -L-__. .u... :A‘nmfl Uulfl‘ wuuavbv â€"_â€" Both the water and the steam are forms of force, and dam and boiler must be re- plenished to replace the force taken from them. The same law holds good as to the brain. The stomach is the generator. The digestion, or in other words, the conversion of food or fuel that there takes place under normal conditions, is attended with the ‘ release of electricity precisely to the extent that electricity was absorbed from the sun l in producing the food.

Here is the first intimation that the coal that is shoveled into the fire box of a boiler should first be somewhat masticated, or pulverized, to get economic results. Proper food, then, is re- quired, and not material that not only has no heat of its own, but must absorb heat from outside of itself, and be a hindrance to digestion or combustion.

A young cavalry officer was exercising his regiment upon the drill-ground when the familiar words of command suddenly sip- ped from his mind, and the strenuous effort made to recall them was utterly futile. In order to cover his embarrassment he was compelled to retire from command, under the plea of illness. The fugitive sentence ant, whose memory so treacherously failed him one morning after leaving home, that he was totally unable to locate his oifices, and actual] compelled to inquire as to their whereabou s. Another interesting example is that of a popular nOVelist who had nearly finished an important work upon which he was engaged, when a sudden . failure of memory deprived him of his plot and necessitated the laying aside of the book for more than a week; then an assOCiation of ideas recalled the mining plot, the novel was brought to a successful issue and enfioy- ‘ LS__ "w w-vâ€" , O ”1 a. wide circulation gé‘érwfiof {He heart is WHY MAN TJUST EAT. of the and in an or- thousands of
