Hay for stock is scarce and in de

time of year, that 'stock" should -have
the best of care for a few weeks to
Insure a good growth during the sum

while if turned out poor and. weak it
requires several wei?ks to 'start them
to improving;- consequently they ara

MORE LIGHT WILL WAKE
SLEEPERS IN JERUSALEM,
The -river Jordan the one in Asia,
not In Utah between Meran on the
sea of Gallilee, makes a descent of
700 feet In altitude, and a company
i being forme 1 to pick up this pow
er that is running to waste, and with
It surp'y e.ery considerable town in
1 Palestiae with electric light. That
I will be one more step toward the
' redjmption of that, the most' interest
j ng country in the world. Already it is
I being penetrated by a railroad, and
a conservation of the water is being
made that will place all the good
soil under' cultivation1, and now the .
towns i are - soon: to be ablaze, with
electric lights. Will all these agen
cies be sufficient" 'to drive away the
superstition and lethargy of those
people ". that ; have i merely ' vegetated
there for well nigh two thousand
years? We 'suspect not, but It will
eventually push them aside. When
the Arab sees the. cargoes: of fifty
camels thrown Into a car and hauled
away aO Inimitable speed by a black
comet that Uvea on fire and 'water,
he will ' when ' his wonder Is . satis
fied, say to his saddle ''dromedary:
"This la no longer a place for us, let
us seek the Inner fastness of the des
ort," and he wilL follow the Impulse.
When the Turk and the Jew sees a
hoisting engine lifting the material
Tor a house bigger than" the great tem
ple was, into place and see that struc
ture' fini8hed In ' a year, they will
search their old. records In vain for
any precadont for such work; when
they hear the scream of that steam
whistle and suddenly behold some
night the city . which a moment be
fore was in darkness, burst Into a
light like the sunlight, and learn that
this light hao come upon, a wire from
their loved Jordan ; they will stand
aghast before the now miracles, and
their instinct will be likewlso, to flee
to the desert. But If enough ' Utt
red school houses are built there th '
coming generation will be able to read
the story of all-thelr past and mark
leg what has come to them, will re
read with Increasing Interest : that
story end will oay: .'JThla after all
is but a culmination. It was all prom
ised when the world was In darkness
and the hearts of the people bowed
in despair." Then the mighty regen
eration will begin in earnest and Je
rusalem, tho holy, will be transform
ed with a splendor that nolther David
nor Solomon ever dreamed of. The
street will he widoncnV graded and
paved, and a temple will be replace
fnlrer than wrs their great temple
with Its stainless walls and gilded
roof; it will bo' of steel and marb!i
and p'.ato glass: the sun will give U
glory by day r.nd at, night from wlttv
In a glory will blaze out that will be
a sign that old things have passed
away and the world's final regenera-
j tbi has begun. Goodwin's Weekly.
