Through Palestine By Rail

ONCE upon a time Moses took 40 years to travel from Egypt into the Promised Land. Today the Palestine Military railway is doing it between midnight and dawn, every day of the week, writes Clair Price In Asia. I stood at my carriage window, entering Palestine to the metronome-click of 30 miles an hour. Below me, the rails were bedded in golden sand, up the slope of which the green of the adjacent fields lay like surf on a yellow beach. Ludd was a small railroad yard in a vast pool of sand, with Welsh coal cinders specking its yellow expanse. With Its passengers leaning out its windows calling into the station crowd “Ya weled,” the Officers’ Special pulled In on its way to Haifa shortly after seven o'clock and came to a dignified stop alongside the little •‘jerk-water'’ train for Jerusalem. An Arab weled, wearing a fez and a station porter’s brassard, strapped my luggage to his head, transferred It to the Jerusalem train, demanded a tip of ten piastres (50 cents), accepted half the amount and was finally routed with the wrathful air of a man who has staked a gold mine and has found it contained only quartz. The Jerusalem train consisted of a London & Southwestern locomotive and three ancient Egyptian State Railways passenger cars, bearing on their wooden sides the chalked words which designated them for “officers,” “batmen” and “civilians.” Arrival at Jerusalem.

I finally lost interest in the fidgety train and went to sleep. It was an Arab porter’s “Khowajah. khowajah,” which brought me bolt upright and awake. He was gathering up my luggage. The rest of the passengers had left. I followed him out of the car and into the crowd of British soldiers in pith helmets and shorts, Egyptian military policemen in fezzes and shorts. Baluchistan soldiers in turbans and shorts, Zionists in khaki drill, and native porters, who moved about on the fenced-off platform. My porter led me into the cool dusk of the customs barrier, on toward the quarantine barrier and thence around to the area of the station. Jerusalem was nowhere in sight. I climbed into an arbuggy, with eyes narrowed to slits against the glare of the limestone surfaces, and was driven away from the station at a gallop to the accompaniment of a furious jangling of bells and the harsh grinding of Iron tires on a crushed limestone road. We rounded the low hill and sighted Jerusalem a mile away—a savage ravine ribboned with glaring white roads and crowded on the farther slope by a huge modern German ehurch with a brief length of ancient gray wall retiring modestly beyond It. On the very roof of Palestine, overlooking the Dead sea, a quarter of a mile below the keels of the craft off Jaffa, the walled city of Jerusalem lies between the Hinnom and Jehoshaphat ravines, as New York city lies between the North and East rivers. It overflows into a dusty red-and-whlte modern suburb to the north, as New Torii overflows into the Bronx. Haifa's New Importance.

The physical Jerusalem is small, but the spiritual Jerusalem Is the scene of such a world panorama that, although I went there to stay a day or two, I should be there yet, had I not cast a fleeting glimpse at the expense account With a movement order to Haifa, I finally drove back to the Jerusalem station one evening, and, feeling like All Baba returning to a stark - world after six miraculous weeks in the Robbers’ Cave, boarded the fussy little train that conveys officers over the Jerusalem-Ludd line. Haifa is like Atlantic City in the wash of its surf. It is like Florida in the wide, white streets of its German colony. It is like Manitou in its green Slopes of Mount Cannel. It is like the •riant tn the narrow, vaulted streets St

of empire, one column of which rests on South Africa and the other on India, ft is the peak of the British Cape-to-Cairo-to-Calcutta project. Leaving Haifa, we skirted the foot of Carmel and Issued into the broad plain, with the black skin-tents of Bedouin dotting the flat green distances and with 13 of us, all tangled up like the sultan’s signature, In a carriage built for eight, talking of the Crusaders and the Camel Corps, and untangling ourselves intermittently to hang out of the windows with our £odaks, as the low cone of the Mount of Transfiguration, disengaged itself from the horizon far ahead. We passed •Afuleh, where the greatest cavalry maneuver in military history enabled the Australians to smash the Turkish real* in September, 1918, and we squeezed across the car to see where “Nazareth lies just over that hill.” We saw the green plain give way gradually to a turiiultuous, burnt-up country; we saw our locomotive rounding sharp curves ahead of us, with “the hedgehogs” running along the footboards of the train in the free-and-easy, ride-as-you-please manner of the East. We began winding down into a scarred valtay of yellow buttes, a steep blue horizon and a wilting heat, with dynamited bridge-structures lying shapeless under the new bridges we crossed. To the accompaniment of the clicking of many kodaks, we finally sighted the twisting blue of the Jordan. Sighing for a watermelon we went down into the Gehenna of Galilee. Into Damascus in the Night.

Night came down overjhe Hauran; we lighted a stump of in our crowded carriage and dined on bully beef, eggs, apricots and a nip from somebody’s flask as a llquer. Some time in the night, the train moved slowly through the moonlit streets of a city of some size, and finally came to a stop under the electric lights of a moaern train-shed. We roused ourselves and stepped out upon the concrete platform of the magnificent new Kanawat station in Damascus. With the luggage leading, we creaked out into the moonlight and’the chorus of the bull-frogs along the Barada river. We crossed.the bridge and the distant thud of the Ramadan gun greeted us. Damascus Is purely Arab. It is as thoroughly of the desert as the Arab himself. Once it was greater than Aleppo, greater even than Bagdad; it was the greatest of the great old caravan ports that lie along the rim of the Syrian desert. It still faces toward the desert, and we hat-wearers who come up to it from salt water, come in by its back door. We lodge in its Levantine hotels (when we are able) and we spend our days In cursing its Levantine waiters and our nights in cursing its Levantine wines. For us, Damascus is old and dusty and tumbledown. But to the Arabs who come, through weeks of crossing the desert, to alight at last from their caravans of belled camels before Its East Gate, Damascus offers the .miracle of its rivers of running water. For them, Damascus wears the sacred green turban of its orchards. For them, Damascus is the City of Paradise.

First soak a brick —a new one is best —in water and then cover it with flannel and lay It in a dish of water near a window. Sprinkle dress, flax or grass seeds freely on the flannel. The seeds very soon germinate and send their roots through the flannel, and in due course the brick is covered with verdure and looks very pretty.

Hard to Interpret.

Pretty Ornament.

MA'S HARVEST ISOVER

Threshing Shows increase Over Expected Yields. The Winnipeg Free Press of a few days ago eontained a cartoon of which the following is a copy:

This probably as much as anything else will give some idea of the state of mind of the Western Canada farmer, as he watches the tally from the thrashing machine while his wheat is being carried to the elevator. From all sections of the country, the most optimistic reports are received, the local and city'papers are filled with reports from twenty to thirty bushels of wheat to the acre, while in some places oats are showing a record of as high as 120 bushels to the acre. Referring to Saskatchewan, it is confidently expected that the wheat yield will be nearly 125 million bushels. Heavy rains which fell in districts that did not promise so well in July, had greatly improved the prospects there, and there is no question that paying yields will be produced. The yields in the eastern part of the province may not show to the advantage that will those of the western part, but too much cannot be said of this, for it is the results as they come from the machine, and often these prove happily deceptive. There is now every reason to believe that the wheat crop of the three prairie provinces will approach 250 million bushels. Alberta will exceed the 70 million bushels that had been looked for. The average yield will be considerably higher than It has been in the province In any of the last four years. The Department of Agriculture in a recent report gave the opinion cannot fall below twenty-two bushels to the acre, and that It might easily pass the twenty-five bushel mark. Most of the wheat In the province when the report was written, stood well up to three feet high, and on some fields was still higher. The port does on that in parts of Southern Alberta forty and fifty bushels to the acre yields will not be uncommon, while there will be a good ulany yields 'of from thirty to thirty-five bushels to the acre. K/ In the northwest part of the province, in the country surrounding Battleford and adjacent to the Canadian National Railway line to Lloydminster, and south the crops are excellent and the yield will be heavy. A larger than average wheat crop is being thrashed in Manitoba. It has been estimated that the total yield of the three provinces will not be less than 225,000,000 bushels, and it may be that somewhere between 250,000,000 and 300,000,000 bushels will be the final figure. Oats is a good crop in all three provinces. This crop has also grown rapidly during the last two or three weeks. Excepting from those fields which were sown late for green feed, the yield will be heavy and the grain excellent Barley and rye are above the average. There was sufficient help to harvest the crop.—Advertisement

I didn’t see anything remarkable about his game. His ball was always straight down the course, and the second shot always put him on the .green.

HOME TOWN HELPS

UFE IN SMALL TOWN BEST Has Many Advantages Compared to the Hurry and Bustle Inflicted on City Dweller. I do not think that where a man lives has anything to do with his progression, as progression is hereditary and it is not caused by environment writes a correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The idea that a boy must go to the city to acquire fame is becoming -a thing of the past for people of this world are beginning to realize that progression may mean many things—among them progression In tilling the s#il as well as progression in politics. The most progressive men In the world are the men who go to make up the little towns, for they are generally the steady, reliable, sensible fellows, who do not pine for the excitement and the glare of a life in a big city. Small town men are the rock upon which this great country Is most securely built. They are the wholesome, true-blue scouts, who are big enough to live the simple, little town life, and their quiet nerves hold our country balanced. The city man is a bunch of nerves compared with the man from the village. His days art spent in dodging automobiles in the streets, hurrying from place to place, trying to beat the other fellow at making money, and after a day of being “on the jump” he goes to the theater and does not get home until morning. Then he sleeps five hours and Is ready to go through the same performance again. Little Town Man goes to bed at 10 after an evening at the movie and at 6 is ready to get up and begin his day. The “country Jake” is no longer a person to be laughed at, but a person to be envied, and many of our greatest so-called progressives are going back to the “simple-life.”

REASONS FOR OWNING HOME

Advantages Are Many, Quite Apart From the Economic One Declares an Eastern Writer. , There are many upsetting, circumstances In the world, against whlek* house ownership is a sort If I had not owned my honfte fall, and had by any chance thrown out by the old kould have been a very serious to find what 1 wanted In the market I have known men and?”’Omen to put in weeks in the search- houses are often sold over Estates have to be kinds of things happen. your small boy disturbs the landlord, who tn turn makes it disagreeable for you. Such possibilities are put to rest by actual ownership. If one has a serious in the family, what an assurance it is to know that you qannot be disturbed; that this is your castle. For such reasons as these, quite apart from the ecbnomic ones, I believe every man of settled habits should own his own house, and that this Is as a good a time as! any to proceed to that happy realization. —Robert Lincoln O’Brien In Boston Herald.

Many City Managers.

United States now has about 180 city managers. The number is growing steadily, and city managership has now established Itself as a profession. One of these managers has advanced step by step from the Job of directing a small city In Michigan to taking charge of city matters in Dubuque, la., at a salary of SB,OOO a year. This Is the only Instance of three promotions thus far recorded, but three city managers have been advanced at least once. The highest salary the profession as yet commands is $12,000, paid by Norfolk, Va. Dayton and Akron, O„ Grand Rapids. Mich., and Wheeling, W. Va., are among the larger cities now operating under city manager charters.

Earthworms in Lawns.

Earthworms in lawns and gardens can be poisoned with bichloride of •nercury poison. Make a stock solution by dissolving one ounce in two gallons of water. To use, dilute two quarts of the stock solution in 50 gallons of water and in the evening sprinkle this over about a thousand square feet of lawn. The ground should be moist when this is done. The worms will come out during the night and will never go back. Bichloride of mercury (corrosive sublimate) is a deadly poison and therefore mufljt.be used carefully. 1 -

Have Reserve of Grass Seed.

It is a good plan always to have a reserve supply of grass seed on hand to sow when needed, for bare spots may appear throughout the year. If the soil is light and subject to injury from drought, white clover should be sown. It mats together in a short Hme, providing a doser woven blanket to prevent the evaporation of water the soli and is considered a bettor wi«ter of drought than many of the grasses. It is easily started.
