It is very expensive, building houses
in Jerusalem. The first step ia to lio
a cistern. This costs so much that the
owner will dig only a small cistern,
when ho should build omt five time,
the size. All the families iu th- house
use water from this cistern. 1 irh'ir
the rainv season there i aiillicieut
water; but by M iv r the tlrt o June
at the Ie:ist, the cistern is dry.
rain falls until November or Decem

must buy water fr fmr or live
months. Water is brought In skins,
holding on an a vera re three pailfulls
each; and fr a skin of water o-ie must
pay from live to ten cents. For pmr
peoplo this is a very great hardship:

of water is used, and it te-d hardly l'

Houses are invariably built of stone
aud aro much more f Xiensive than on
would supse. Stones have to be
quarried, transported on the back of
camels, rut into proper haM. and
linally budt into walls, If the house
is two stories high, and tit" ro nn are
largw. the walls have to be two, and
sometimes three f'et thick, in order
to iipKrt the great weight resting
upon them. A vast amount of stone
and mortar is consumed in making the
arches that support the uper tbor or
the ro.it ad likewise in th? roof itself.
