In 1517 it was conquered by Ihc Sultan Reliin I, nnd since then It has been ii Turkish city. Sellm's successor, Suleiman the Mag nificent, restored the fortifications, which since that time have been little altered. The sltuadon of Jerusalem Is in several respects singular among the cities of Palestine. Its elevation Is re markable, occasioned not from Its be ing on the summit nf one of the nu merous hills of Juilen, like most nf i he towns and villages, but because it Is on tile edce of one of the highest tablelands of the country. Although to a certain extent the four hills on which It is built Zlon, Mnrlnn, Acrn rnd BeBcthn may still be distinguished, their actual bound aries cannot be traced. The contour of these hills has been changed by the accumulation of debris of past centu ries, Jerusalem Is connected with Its port, Jaffa, by a carriage rood 41 miles and by a meter-gauge railway 54 "idles, which was completed In 1802 and worked by a French company. Prior to 1858, when the modern building period commenced, Jerusalem lay wholly within its sixteenth-century walls, and even as late as 1875 there were few private residences beyond their limits. At present Jerusalem without the walls covers a larger area than that within. The last census gave the pnonlatlon ts 00.000 Moslems 7,000, Christians 13,000, Jews 40,000.

KEEPING THEIR HELP BUSY Labor Turnover la a Most Important Problem for Majority of Stores In Matter of Help.

Is beneficial. Some stores have found this out, while others let their licit go when the sea son gets slack nnd gn to the trouble und expense of rehiring thein luter, If they can get them. There are some stores, however, thnt are keen on keeping down a labor turn over to the lowest possible point. They keep workroom forces employed both In nnd out of season, setting them at making lampshades and other novel ties, where needle skill Is required, when there Is no occasion for thera to work nt their regular trade.. Because this assures the workers of employ ment all through the year, the stores in question not only have little trouble in getting the employees they need, but also get the Ie st ones.
