TO CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS OF THE T ltc I s l a n d o f J e r s e y . The police court of St. Heller, the principal town of the Island of Jersey, Is remarkable in several respects. First, the proceedings are always opened with prayer; second, It frequently happens that after prayer there Is no more business, and every one goes home.

When one thinks of the great events that have taken place In the Holy Land, the multitude of cities, villages and towns, the countless millions who have been born there and whose bones now lie In its rock ribbed hills, the small dimensions of Palestine are almost startling. West of the Jordan, where most of the historic events took place, there art* only 3.S00 square miles, In cluding all the geographical divisions now called Palestine. Including the land both east and west of the Jordan, the total area Is ».K40 square miles. The length of Palestine from north to south is about 150 miles. It varies in breadth from twenty-three to eighty miles. W anted N o n e o f I ll s A r t . At a dinner in London, Theodore Wntts-Dunton said; "It isn’t general ly known that Turner, the painter, and l)r. Augustus Pritchard once lived to gether for a year In Cheyne row. The painter and the physician had a fine garden, and they took a good deal of pride In their flowers. But the garden gate did not work well, and one day Turner, because it wouldn’t open, pet tishly gave orders that It be nailed up. It was thought that this odd act would enrage Augustus Pritchard, but, on be ing told of it. all lie said was. ‘Oh, well, i don't care what Turner does to the gate, so long as he doesn’t paint It.’ ” Colli M.

A document in French recently was placed at each United States senator’s desk. Senator Tillman euid there were not seven men in the senate who would know the Lord’s Prayer if they saw it in French, whereat Senator Hoar said, “Perhaps so, but that would not be because they can’t read French.” IN 3d.
