At last on ray journey I have reachtiiu Hnlu (Mtv 11 is f!t?rtainlv the Jirtiest, dustiest, filthiest place 1 ever jaw. Beggars, some lame, some deformed, and many blind, are begging >n every corner, and especially at the doors of the churches, mosques, and and in the Jews' wailing place. The uity outside the walls is new, modern aud tolerably clean, but when you enter the gate you find all lilth and dirt, rags auil beggars. By carriage I visited Bethlehem, where you find the church of the Nativity built over the birthplace of Ubrist. Three sects have churches under this roof and soldiers are stationed there all the time to keep them from fighting. This little village has several shops and small factories where souvenirs of mother of pearl and olive wood are manufactured to be sold to tourists, ami the work is very good considering the looks of the workmen. Caravans of camels and the patient donkey with his heavy load are ever present. The mosque of Omar, which was ki.SI* in Hio nfh PPIlflirv hvCoUataU tine, on the site of the temple of Solomon and afterwards the temple of Herod (these temples have all but a few foundation stones been destroyed) were located on the summit of Mount Moriah and in the center under the dome is the rock upon which Abraham prepared to sacrifice Isaac. The rock is still here about 30 feet in Jiameter surface measure. Under thei?e temples and now under the mosque of Omar is Solomon's stables where thousands of arches support the buildings, and the court above these stables is hewn out of the rock and arched up for strength. On the way to Bethlehem is passed tnany sights of interest, one of which is Rachel's tomb. The Jews Wailing! Place is of great interest. As I visitid it on Friday hundreds of Jews >vere there wailing for the downfall >f the Temple aud praying for its estoratiou and the return of the Jews :o this city (but I wouid advise all lews l.i America to stay there.) The Mount of Olives, the pools and quar ies of Solomon, the Hill of Zion and ind Garden of Oetbsemane are of ;reat interest, but I would advise my rieuds ho have great respect for | iible history and reverence for the j loly place to slay at home rather than J ,'isit Jerusalem. When oue looks at he rocky, barren soil, the poverty and listret-s, the half clad wonderer and he poor, over-worked camel and dontey, he is bound to say Moses was a )oor judge of a country to pick on ,uch a place as this for a promised < and. I am stopping at a French monasery outside the Jaffa gate. It is very :lean and they are very kind. The i >ed is fairly good but the floors are i tone, the walls stone, the ceiling i tone, no tires anywhere; in fact no >ne here ever has a lire. There is no- ( hing to burn. You are fed on bread, i veil cooked, honey and horse meat i well done,) goat's milk and black iofiee, but when you tramp through , he city (no streets are wide enough < 0 admit of a carriage) or ride a donkey , iround, the country you can eat with 1 good relish what is set before you md ask no questions.

This city is older i ban Noah's flood and the country i tround raises the finest oranges, emous, dates and olives I ever saw, )ut after you cross the mountains of ludea and get up here it ie cold and jut little more than a desert. Jn jompany with Dr. Cotter, of Califoriia, I spent one day visiting the leper quarters and hospital. At the Geruan Leper Hospital there are 51 paieuts, many with their hands aud eet gone, some blind, some minusears md noses, aud some contined to their )eds. I took photographs of most of .hem and have a nice collection of pictures of this ancient and dreaded Jisease. This hospital can only be mtered by order of the German consul. This was obtained through Mr. Jlark, the American vice-consul who furnished us with a guide and car- 1 riage. After we got through there we ;ook donkeys and visited the leper settlement outside the city walls. Here we saw over 30 of the worst wretches on earth living in mud aud 31WUC 1IUUPC9 WIIIJ UUOl IIUV'1.-?) IJU " JU" down, in dirt and filth, almost starving. They could go to the hospital but their religeou (Mohammedan) teaches thetu that if Alia desires them | to sutler they must do it and not com- i plain. 1 On Saturday at noon I took carriage for Jericho, the Jordan and Dead ( Sea. Jericho has about Hoi) imputation , living mostly in mud huts and tents. 1 The Sheck or head man, took us to his lodge where we saw the sorrow dance as the cholera killed 30 of their number recently. In fact the quarantine was only raiseil three days before we were tlu-re. We went down by the road traveled by the (jood Samaritan when we found the traveler bleeding aud robbed by the wayside. Au inn now stands on the same spot where the inn of old stood. I stopped there and got a cup of black coflee. 1 l.- I- ...l II::.. ?e passeu me uruoK wnere r^nju whs fed by the raven-, not birds but a tribe of Arabs that dwelt there at that time. 80 the miracle goes to pieces. After spending the night at an inn in Jericho called the Ciilgai, we visited the mountain where Cluist was tempted and by {Satan was shown all the world and was ottered it if he would fall down and worship him. The mountain overlooks the valley of the Jordan from the Dead Sea about 'JO miles north and the desert beyond the river. The whole thing would be high at 80 cents for it is ouly a barren waste.

The lily of the field is the nices wild flower that grows; but not bird, rabbit, mouse, snake or an, living creature is seen (nothing bu fleas.) After my return to the Holy City spent one-half day in the church c the Holy Sepulchre. This cover the ground where Christ was crucifie and buried, also the grave of Adam the center of the earth, and man other holy places. ' The church is large, many storie high, has several domes, and cave under it. Four sects own it and so; diers are stationed, here also to kee them from fighting.

The rarest feeling that, ever lights a human face is the contentment of a loving soul. Said old Thomas Fuller, "You cannot repent too soon, because you do not know how soon it may be too late." ' Repentance," says Dr. Conwell. "is flip (rrpMtpKtdeed that fan he done on earth." Never be discouraged because good tilings get on so slowly here ; and never fail to do daily that good which lies next to your hand. The snul grows strong through storm and conflict if it never grows strong at all, we find it has never known the softening, hallowing touch of grief.

Information For the 8 "Stajcestrack"?Davy Crockett's Advice. | "This thing is wearing me into the J ground." ( It was a theatrical manager who had g just dismissed a young woman who had a been imploring him to engage her. ? He was an unusually soft hearted 8 manager. The average one generally J gives a cynical grin and says, "Another girl who wants to play Juliet." . a Words may be futile to stem the ] torrent, but just a few hard facts may t cause an aspirant here and there to c stop and consider. ? Hero in New York, this seething Mecca of the Thespian, the situation is actually tragic. There are just about 5,000 actresses too many for the positions. The pity of it is the incompetents ire in many cases crowding out the capable, experienced players. True, the incompetents sooner or later find their level, but while they are finding it the capables are out of positions and the wolf is putting in his time at their fifth flight hall bedroom doors, the critics are guying, the manager is fuming, and . there is a good deal of unpleasant friction everywhere. I know of one thoroughly equipped player who has sewed the soles upon her shoes repeatedly to keejj them on hei leet wmie sue waiKeci tne streets in search of an engagement Another wash- ( es her clothes in the bathtub of her , boarding house and dries them in her room. Both these women have played | prominent parts in good com) >anies. Another has lived for somo time on one meal a day. These women are fair of face?one of them would be called ' handsome?and all are thoroughly com- J petent. The cases of the young, inexperienced ( ones that have come to me hoping I i could help them are too many and too sad ] to recount. They drift into typewriting, < copying and starvation. Many of them j drift back home. Some become 4'ex- ! tras." That means they go on the stage as "guests," or the mob, just to sta^'1, around and say nothing. They must; itend rehearsals, dress perhaps several ] times during the evening and be regarded with scorn by those who have speaking parts, all for$l a performance For I the chance to do this hundreds crowd ' the stage entrances whenever there is ( a cr:ll for "extra ladies." j One young woman who made a short starring venture in the west and who is , undoubtedly possessod with talent, com- i bined with the beauty of face and figure ] which make up a good stage presence, i came two years ago to New York to seek an engagement. She was armed with letters of introduction to many ] prominent managers from Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, and the future seemed rosy to her bright young eyes. This ififlnpntial man. who had seen her act. sent glowing words to the Gotham magnates, but not one of them gave her a chance. She has not stepped upon a Etage from that day to this. How has she lived? By doing embroidery for one of the large wholesale , houses. She has bravely kept Uer self respect, and she has never given up trying. She makes her rounds of the agencies every little while, and she means to attain her end yet. She will do it too. Thero is no sort of doubt that such pluck, earnestness and perseverance will win. Before the young aspirant who is in deadly earnest about entering the dramatic profession heaven forbid the writer should cast one straw of discourage menc. There is not only room, bnt there is a hungry demand, for the actress with a strong dramatic instinct, brains, appli- 1 cation and a large capacity for work. Work! I should like to write that word in capitals a foot high The work which in the golden age ( was done so well because the gods always saw must come back again to earth. Until it does there will still be tears and agony and suicide in the solving of the life problem. If you love the art so that no labor, privation, rebuffs or hardship can stand in your way, then you have a right to think that heaven meant you to act Do it though the skies falL If you want to go on the stage simply to wear pretty clothes and attract attention, don't do it, for the end is dust and ashes. If you want to be a "professional" because you "likethe life," don't do it.

If you want to be an actress because you don't want to be a typewriter or a milliner or a saleswoman and tbo stage seems to be a place where you can , earn the most money in the easiest way, don't do it. There never yet has been found a real easy way for any woman .to earn money. All legitimate work must mean an equivalent for the dollar. In getting into this particular "easy" place and getting out of it you'll find a larger crop of heartaches, tears and agonies than you ever could imagine would be compressed into one small life If you think that mediocrity, trifling : and laziness can succeed, let me tell J you that every case of that sort existing today is propped up somewhere against i a barrel of money. If you can lay your J hands on such a barrel and want to use I it for that purpose, no one will hinder you as long as the dollars last.

The Origin of Mr. and Mrs. In earlier times the ordinary man was simply William or John?that is to say, be bad only a Christian name without any kind of "handle" before it or surname after it, says the Philadelphia Record.
