In one ^ case the mother of the child concerned showed her toothless mouth and c said: "I have no teeth, yet I'm still alive." E A suggestion that a child's hair be h cut brings the reply that to do so Q might retard the growth of the child and also lessen his strength.

The rapidity with which Jerusalem < > extending, through the return of ] lie Jews in such large numbers to ' he city of their forefathers, has 1 endered these improvements neces- ( ary. Indeed, to the north and west 1 f the old city there have sprung up 1 rithin the last decade large Jewish ' olonies, populous residential sec- ' ions, as well as convents, hospices, istitutions, schools and other buildngs, with the result that today here is a greater Jerusalem without he walls than within. Four separate tramway routes are a be laid down. They will all start rom the Jaffa Gate, the principal ntrance into the city, and run out- 1 ide the city walls through the newer arts of Jerusalem. The first, which 1 rill have a length of about two miles, rill give easy access to what may be ermed the business quarter of the ' loly City, while the second, of simiar length, will link up the large ewish colonies to the north with the n^innirvo) cntranfp Thp third UJ d pi lUVIJ/ai V4Ab4 rill encircle the old city, embracing lany of its most historic sites, such s Gordon's Calvary, believed by lany scholars to have been the ' cene of the Crucifixion; the Tomb of he Kings, the Mount of Olives and he Valley of Jehoshaphat. The fourth line will run from the affa Gate to Bethlehem, some six iiiles distant, traversing what is periaps the most sacred thoroughfare a the world. It teems with reputed oly places?sacred wells, tombs, nd convents. The work of laying he rails is to begin next April, and ccording -to the terms of the conces- ' ion the syndicate has power to exend the lines in any direction for a istance of some 25 miles. The city walls, which have a cirumference of about three miles and ise in places to a height of 3S 1-2 ' eet, are now being offered by the ' overnment for sale as building maerial. It is expected, however, that fforts will be made to save isolated ections, more particularly the masive towers Indeed, influential citzens of Jerusalem have formed a soiety and are approaching the govrnment with a view to preserving )avid's Tower, which they propose to onvert into a museum. Of late years Jerusalem has sufered greatly from the want of fresh ?*ater. With the exception of a small uantifv brought into the city from he ancient pools of Solomon, near lethlehem, by means of a pipe, which uns along the old aqueduct, the Holy !ity is entirely dependent for its wagr upon the rainfall. Now reservoirs re to be built in the upper part of he valley of the Brook Cherith, - here the water will be stored and rought into the city as required, erusalem is gradually being westernzed. Economical to Keep Furniture in Repair. These are the days when the ecoomical housewife begins to look ver the furniture around the house o find out just what pieces need reairing and which ones are in good hough condition to last another winer. It is always a wise plan to touch p furniture, either in the way of , iling or varnishing, just as soon as h howins tn look the least bit shabby. n this way everything around a , louse may be kept in perfect condiion and much money saved, for to et every piece of furniture run down intil it looks about to fall to pieces s no real economy and shows a deidedly careless housekeeper. It often takes three times as much ooney to fix over furniture which ias been allowed to get into this state >f disrepute as it does to have each iece repaired as it begins to showhe wear of years. Often, too, with a few cents' worth if varnish or oil the housekeeper can lo all the touching up that is re[uired. The real wood of the various urniture sets around the house hould never be varnished with anvhing which will destroy the grain of he wood from sight. Walnut furniure, for instance, should be oiled, as he beauty of this wood lies in its mooth, waxlike appearance. A certain kind of wax may be used tlso for polishing walnut or mahogtny tables. Mahogany furniture, lowever, looks best when polished vith one of the various furniture )olisnes wnien are prepared ror tins >eautiful wood. Cheap furniture can >e restored to very good condition >y a reliable varnish, and often these )ieces can be painted over with splenlid results. , R.ead The Herald, $1.50 a year. DECLINES .8:5,400 JOB. | VY. E. Young: Was Offered 1'ostmas- 9 tership at Honolulu. j| Spartanburg, April 7.?William P. Young, for nearly a quarter of a "entury assistant postmaster here, low special agent of the parcel post, with headquarters at Washington, is n Spartanburg for a brief visit. Mr. Young yesterday declined a government position paying S3,400 i year, with the probability of an jarly increase.

I Moving Picture Making Often Requires Nerve and Courage. One outcome of the modern demand for realism in cinema pictures is the advent of the heroic camera man?a type of man who takes enormous risks in order to obtain unusual films for his employer. Only at the end of January a Mr. Fritz Schindler, a member of Mr. Paul Rainey's cinematograph expedition, was mauled by a lion he was trying to photograph. He died from his injuries, but luckily such accidents are rare. Many people have heard of the daring of Mr. Frederick Burlingham, who made a hazardous descent into the belching depths of Vesuvius in Drder to obtain film pictures1 for a well-known London company. He penetrated into the crater's mouth to a depth of over 1,000 feet, where his position was most perilous, for any moment the lava floor might have caved in and thrown him into the boiling lava below, which crackled and seethed with the clamor of a dozen blast furnaces. Another daring camera man, whose feats are worthy of being classed with those of Mr. Burlingham, is an Englishman, with the very un-English name of Sintzenish. In pursuit of startling film pictures, he has had as many adventures as Don Quixote himself. In order to supply unique scenic pictures among the Canadian Rockies, he obtained permission to strap himself to the cowcatcher of an express, and while traveling at some 60 miles an hour he industriously I filmed the passing panorama. As the temperature was some degrees below zero, the unfortunate camera man was almost frozen stiff as a board during his journey, and it was . no rare occurrence for icicles to gather quickly on his camera and clothes. On another occasion Sintzenish while endeavoring to obtain wild \ game pictures, became lost in the forest and fell a victim to malaria. While convalescent he endeavored to develop some films in an out-of~ y>o ti-oo etiin? hi* a riy IliC" v> a> xxv> *?uu ? ?? . inch scorpion, which had curled up in his towei. As a- result his whole system became affected, and his mouth and tongue swelled to so large a size that he was literally dumb for several days. But Mr. Sintzenish's sufferings were not in vain, and he sue- . ceeded in obtaining some extraordinary film pictures, >which will undoubtedly cause a sensation when they are screened." For the purpose of obtaining pic- * tures of inaccessible parts of Snowden, under the cloak of winter, a ^ camera man. in company with A. W. Cherry, the well-known mountaineer, and a lady climber, are to s^end ] several days and nights climbfcig ? round this picturesque peak. The arrangements include the \ swinging of the camera operator over c the "Devil's Kitchen," a fearful s cavity that lies between yawning precipices. The general route up the mountain will be avoided, and as far as possible a perpendicular ascent ? will be made, in^ order that the outof-way views may be obtained. But heroism does not always re- ] suit in money-making films. i Another camera man, not long 1 back, visited Columbia for the purpose of filming a forest fire, but after ( waiting some weeks for such an c event he determined to produce one 1 himself. j Negotiations being finished, the ] plans were arranged for the fire to i take place and some hundred men * and pack horses were pressed into J service to provide the necessary realism. But at the last moment a snowstorm of unusual severity swept the scene of operation and ruined the whole plan.?Outing. * ^ c Saturday a whole carload of bananas were sold in Bamberg. A gen- c f tleman had a car of this tropical fruit side-tracked here, and announced the sale.
