There Is n most unpleasant wind, the sirocco, which Is fatal to vegetation, "exhaust ing to the nerves. Irritating to the tem per, pan hin;,' the skin and ruinous to the hair and complexion." The dews nio heavy. Jerusalem has Its special diseases, but the cure Is found In qui nine. Insect pests are the mosquitoes and most particularly the sand tiles. Ono may keep out the mosquito, hut the sand fly is at home everywhere. Cloth ing affords no protection. Files nre overabundant. Winter Is more pleas ant than summer. Sometimes on a winter evening a tire Is necessary. Aft er all, it is a laud of perpetual sunshine, the mean annual temperature being 03 degrees. With nil Its sacrcdness, Jeru salem Is described as a "topsy tnrvy land." In a holy place the native takes off his shoes and wears his hat. The men sport petticoats, and the women expose their legs, while hiding tlneir faces. Carpets nre hung on the walls aud pictures on the ceiling. There Is no apparent gratitude, for In Arable there Is no word the equivalent of "Thank you." Living is cheap. A good cook can be had by the month for $0. Mutton Is worth from 8 to 10 cents a pound, chickens about 25 cents a pair. Fruit Is plentiful and reasonable. Consider ing the economy of living, the author expresses her surprise that so few Eng lish live In Jerusalem, "their number being Insignificant when-compared with the American residents."

"Once while sojourning In the City of Mexico I happened to call upon a friend at one of the principal hotels nt that capital," said a congressman. "While In his room I noticed a very fine revolver, and, making some com ment upon it, he picked it up and- be gan to explain how, although It was of single acthwt, be could lire it as fast as though It were double action. In some way his hand struck the hammer, causing the weapon to explode. In a second my friend turned deathly pale and became so agitated that ho could scarcely speak. "Having noticed that the bullet struck a rug and took a downward course, I didn't see any cause for ex citement and, lifting up the rug, show ed him where the lead took lodgment He became calm pretty soon, and then he explained his agitation. 'Had that kullet gone Into the court (all the ho tels down there open Into a court) In stead of the floor and had it Btruck any Mexican my life would not have been worth a ten cent piece. I have lived down here long enough to know how swift Is the punishment meted out to foreigners, even In case of acci dent, where a native Is Injured. In deed, had I been unfortunate enough to have caused the death of one of them It Is quite probable that you as well as myself would have been exe cuted. The i'.ict that you had nothing to do with the shooting would have been of no avail, for your presence hero would have coudemned you.' " Washington Post. Jmt bike n Wonlnn.

ROOSEVELT Rotable Pieces Ailileil to the Choice White Hones Collection. Mrs. Roosevelt recently secured sev eral additions to her collection of pres idential china, says n Vashlnpiton dla imteh to the riilladelphla Tuhllc Ledg er. These consist of elrfit pieces of the Washington and Madison ware. They were originally loaned to the col lection by Mrs. James Hrndley of New York, a prominent memhe? of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who has taken great Interest In the work of Mrs. Itoosevolt In collecting the dining ware of the White House from the foundation of the republic. In the belief that the effort to collect samples of the presidential ware at the White House is n work of history as well' as patriotism, Mrs. Bradley con sented to make the loan of her collec tion. The Wnshliigtonln consists of an old rose English cut glass decanter, a glass preserve dish of the same make, an old Canton ware pickle dish of the wil low pattern and a fish knife of Shef field plate. These pieces were obtain ed by Mrs. Hrndley at the final settle ment of the II. L. D. Lewis estate In Virginia. The Madison pieces consist of two handsome candelabra, which were used by Mrs. Madison while mistress of the president's house; a gravy bowl and saucer of the Madison set and an ex act match to the Madison plates which were given to the White House collec tion by Mr. ,T. Henley Smith of Wash ington a short time ago and a deco rated cup and saucer of French china. Mrs.' Hrndley obtained these pieces from the l'nyne Todd collection. It will be remembered that l'nyne Todd was the son of Dolly Madison. A NAVAL TEST. Finn to MenHiire Smoke EiniHHlon of a New Cruiser. The new cruiser Milwaukee, now Hearing completion at the Union Iron works in San Francisco, when she starts on her ofllclnl trial trip next summer will undergo a novel test, says the New York I'ost. In addition to the usual tests of speed, turning, stopping, backing and performing other evolu tions, the Milwaukee will be observed for the amount of smoke she emits from her stacks. The volume and character of smoke given out while steaming has become regarded as a factor of the vessel's elllciency, for her risibility nt sea li largely measured by the smoke she gives out, a steamer's smoke being ordinarily seen long be fore the vessel herself becomes visible. It Is further desired to measure the smoke emission on account of Its be ing a valuable index of the efficiency of boilers and furnaces, excessive smoke indicating indifferent fuel or im perfect combustion of the fuel. According to the plans at present suggested, a series of photographs of the cruiser will be taken while she is under way, and from these, taken at fixed Intervals of time, the amount of smoke may bo determined with fair ac curacy. Excessive smoking will be rem edied ns far as possible, and data may be obtained from which to avoid or lessen the smoke In future warship construction. DANCES SOLD FOR CHARITY. ChlciiKO Glrla Itenpeil n Golden Ilnr veMt From Dmielnif Partner.. Two of the happiest girls among those who worked for the success of the recent charity ball in Chicago were Miss Italia Hlair and Miss Lena Small, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. "Just think!" exclaimed Miss Blair the next day. "A score of men paid at least $5 each for the privilege no, not that; I'm not so conceited ns to think that for sweet charity after dancing with me. "When it got toward morning I was dancing for five dollar bills sticking out from between nil my fingers. Some gave a great deal more than the mini mum price of ?5 per dance." Sixty-five dollars was the sum real ized by Miss Small from selling her dances nt the ball. Miss Small, how ever, extracted $50 from the pockets of Chicago society men by selling frappe. Owing to her dividing her ntteption between the dance and the frappe booth the sum total of her earnings Tas a little less than that of her friend. Married Hi Grandmother. There lived in the village of Arreton, Isle of Wight, many years ago a young man who was betrothed to a young woman. Both were poor aud In humble life, but the grandfather of the young man had money, and he fell In love with the young woman nnd proposed marriage to her. The girl told her lover. He was displeased, but, having pondered over the dilemma, saw a way to extricate himself and his sweetheart from the same. "Marry him," said be to the girl. "He is rich. lie cannot live long. When lie dies you'll have his money, nnd I'll have you." She took the advice. By the marriage she be came the young man's grandmother. Not long after the old man. died, and thou she wedded her first betrothed. l:(liU;tte. Anxious writes, "What are the du ties of a father at his daughter's 'com ing out' party?" To put up nnd shut UO.

A story built oti a pyschologlcal snidy of emotions and passions, with a living model on which to "try out" the p.irK and a faithful portrayal of personal experiences in loveinaking Is whit Clarence Wilbur Taber of Evausto.i, III., is bringing out, says a Chicago dis patch. The heroine, known to the stage as Alice II on I ton, has been transferred through the aid ' of psychology and realism to the pages of a bound vol ume aud In the world of letters is a uulijuu production. In order that this may he done lovo scenes, a passionate proposal of mar riage, the first awakening of two af finities in the soft moonlight, the man of a Jealous man and a disappointed sweetheart have for the purpose of procuring realism been acted out llko a play between the author nnd his model. In his own home a,t Evanston, In the presence of his wife, C. Wilbur Taber says he put himself In the posi tion of his various male characters, while his beautiful model, properly costumed, placed herself in the posi tion of the female characters. Taber understood the part he wanted to emphasize, and with hard study and continuous application his model as similated her portions of the story. Each memorized the part unsigned nnd then went through the motions. These included loveinaking, kisses, enresses, weepings and moments of bliss. The daring model who essayed to aid the author in his work permitted her self to be first embraced, then repulsed aud finally struck to the floor In the frenzy of his angry passion, nnd then, In order not to lose any of the effect, Taber rushed like a madman from his house, ncross fields, down the road, and did not return until the psychologically produced passion wore off. BETTER THAN RABBIT'S FOOT A Baur'a Shoe Latent Good Luck Charm Prized by Nenrocn. The day of tho rabbit's foot as a good luck charm among superstitious negroes has passed, aud a baby's siioe has taken Its place. This was a state ment by William Crawford, a negro, when tried before Judge Brady in a Kansas City police court recently for vagrancy, says the Kansas City Star. Detectives Arthur and Young arrested Crawford because ha appeared ta hHva no visible means of support. ' "Jedge, sail. Ah works," said Craw ford. "Dese heah officers says I's a 'dope' user; but, Jedge, I am a hones', hard workln' niggah. 'Cose I got some 'dope' on dese heah plnyin' cards 'cause It's lucky toe hnb 'dope' on dein. I got a bettah luck sign dan dcra, though. Hit am a baby's shoe." Crawford pulled the shoo from his pocket aud held It up to the Judge. "Baby's shoe nm de luckiest sign da is in shootin' craps, Jedge." "The trouble with you, Crawford," said Judge. Brady, "Is that you quit a good Jott and went to gambling. It's bad business even with a lucky sign. I'll fine you $10." "Dnt's wrong, Jedge," said Craw ford. "Ah admits dat I shoots craps some; but, Jedge, I nevah gamble." ADVICE FOR FARMERS. Rev. Chnrlea M. Sheldon Telta Them How to Enjoy the Scenery. In a recent address before the Kan sas stato board of agriculture the Itev. Charles M. Sheldon told the fanners what he would do if he were a farmer, says a Topcka special dispatch to the St. Louis Kepublic. He said first that he would take time to enjoy the scen ery If ho were a farmer again. He would take time to sny "Whoa!" to the team at tho end of the row occasionally and look around to enjoy the beauties of nature. Another thing he would do would be to buy a kodak and use It. "A kodak," he said, "Is not as com plicated an arrangement 'as a binder and is a good deal easier to operate. It is a hobby that is worth cultivating the taking of pictures. If I prospered I would buy leisure rather than land. It is as Christian to play as it is to work. I would utilize some means of education. I would look out for the comfort and convenience of my wife In her work in the house." A Plasae of Rata. There nre all kinds of rat stories coming In from the country west of Springfield, 111. From what the farm ers say, the Pled Piper of Hamelin would have his work cut out for him if he should attempt to wheedle all the rodents into Spring creek, says the Springfield (III.) News. A well known farmer in speaking of the plague, for such the Incursion has become, says that they simply overrun the fields and that many farmers have been forced to sell their corn because the rata Invaded the cribs In such numbers that the stored corn was rapidly being destroy ed or rendered unfit for use. One man living near Farmlngdale who tore down a crib with the aid of two dogs and a revolver slaughtered over 200 rats in a space of time so short that It seems almost Impossible. This seems to be a "rat year" in the country as well as lu the city. Perila of Pearl Diving:. Pearl diving nnd ruby mining appeal to the gnniblliig Instinct which Is part of the Burmese character, says V. f). S, O'Connor in his bodk "The Silken East." A man may be a beggar one day and the next, through a lucky find at diving or digging, may be rich for the rest of his lire. But pearl diving hns Its perils, some of which may be gathered from the following passage: "They talk of ai.ibergrls and whales aud divers' risks; of two recent deaths from the snapping of the tube. In one case the life tender hauled hand over hnnd, but not quick enough to save his man, who came up dead and black in the frtce. Another's helmet, being unadjusted, let In the water. He sig naled, but was kept down, being sup posed nervous, and ultimately came up dead. Still another diver's head swelled up so that they could scarce ly remove the helmet. The diver's life In these seas is a risky one, short, riot ous, lucrative."
