Many Ways In Which It Striklafffy
Resembles California.
Palestine Is more like the state of
California than any other in the Union
in everything except size. It lies be
tween longitude 34 degrees 80 minutes
and 36 degrees 30-minutes east and
between latitude 30 degrees 30 min
utes and 33 degrees, 45 minutes north.
It Is practically a California reduced
to about one-twentieth " in size, but
markedly similar In general topogra
phy, climate, vegetation and -agricul
tural and economic possibilities. ,
Like California, Palestine Is longest
from north to south. Like California,
too, it has both very bigh mountains,
having an elevationsof 9,000 to, 10,000
feet, and very deep, depressions. The
Dead sea, 1,200 feet below sea level.
is the greatest depression known, and,
like the Death valley of California, It
Is situated in the southern extremity
of the country. , .
In Palestine, just as In California, we
have a dry, warm season and a humid
and more temperate one. The rainy
season extends from October to May
and the dry season from May to Oc
tober. .
Palestine is even more favored than
California with regard to' the winter
temperature. Although the thermome
ter rises as high in summer in Pales
tine as in California, with extremes of
110 degrees .Jb 115 degrees F., though
not so often, It very rarely drops in
the winter to the freezing point Snow
Is rare, even on the plateaus, and oar
farmers are practically safe from aay
damage by frost over nearly the entire
extent of the country. From Aaron
Aaronsohn'a "Agricultural and Botaal-
cal Explorations In Palestine."

Jenny Lino after years of steady

She practiced hours, a day, but wa

go up from millions of mothers
of the California Board of health
when they hear about the report
setting forth the official conclusion
that babies do not pay. Looking
Into the matter from the standpoint
of Investment the California inves
tigators figure out that from Its
birth to "twenty years of age the
average child costs $4,150 to rear,
while his commercial value is on
ly $4,000. The National Conserva
tion Committee, in its independent
Investigation, found that the aver
age value of a child was $2,900.
Judging from the complaints of
fathers when the monthly bills com
in, the cost of raising offsprings
has been greatly underestimated.
The Increased price of milk, in
fants' food and paregoric, rattles
and toys has made the higher
cost of babies a trying problem.

London as It Was.
Haydn's ' "Dictionary of Dates'
makes the statement that the old name
of the city of London was written
Lynden or Llyndln. meaning "the. cUy
on the lake." An old tradition gives
ns to understand that London was
founded by Brute, a descendant of
Aeneas, and called New Troy or Troy-
novant until the time of Lud. who sur
rounded the town with walls and
named it Caer-Lud, or Lud's . Town.
This latter is probably the correct ver
sion of the story, if for no other rea
son because it is an easy matter to de
tect a similarity between the expres
sion Lud's Town and London. It Is

The lichen Is remarkable for the
great age to which it lives, there being
good grounds for believing that the
plants endure for 100 years. Their
growth Is exceedingly slow, almost be

them alive. In a dry time they have
the power to suspend growth alto

enough to make the lichen a vegetable

Interesting fact about lichens Is that

Origin of the Graceful Corinthian Style
of Capital.
In the winter a young girl had died
In Corinth. Some time afterward her
maid gathered together various trin
kets and playthings which the girl bad
loved and brought them to the girl's
grave. There she placed them In a
basket near the monument and put a
large square tile upon the basket to
prevent the wind from overturning it
It happened that under the basket was
a root of an acanthus plant. When
spring came the acanthus sprouted,
but Its shoots were not able to pierce
the basket, and accordingly they grew
around it, having the basket in their
midst Such of the long leaves as
grew up against the four protruding
corners of the tile on the top of the
baskef-eurlcd round under these cor
ners and formed pretty volutes.
Kallimachos, the sculptor, walking
that way one day. saw this and im
mediately conceived the notion that the
form of the basket with tbe plaque
on top of It and surrounded by the
leaves and stalks of acanthus would
be a comely heading for columns In
architecture. He from this idea formed
the beautiful Corinthian style of capi
tal. Such, at least, is the story as the
architect Vltrnvlus told It 1,900 years
ago.
Stringent French Customs.
Tourists must not fail to note the

stage. An English holiday maker who
had come down to meet a friend arriv

a light for his pipe and sang out to a
friend on board. "Got a match r The
latter was just about to throw his
matchbox across the Intervening yard

The Polka.
Tbe polka is the natural dance for
the feet of the people. Take in evi
dence Its origin. A Bohemian peasant
girl was seen dancing "out of her own
head," extemporizing from the sheer
Joy of her heart song, tune and steps.
This she did on a Sunday afternoon in
Elbeleinitz, and an artist, one Josef
Neruda. who spied her. made a note of
all he saw. The people of the town
adopted the dance and called it the
pulka. half step. In 1S35 it reacbed
Prague and Vienna In 1S40; thence It
spread rapidly through Europe. When
M. Cellarius introduced It to the Pari
sians we hear that all else gave way
before "the all absorbing pursuit the
polka, which embraces in its qualities
the Intimacy of the waltz with the vi
vacity of the Irish Jig." Cassell's Mag
azine.
It Lasted a Week, but Came Only Four
Times a Year.
Every one bas heard of the German
and Dutch method of accumulating
soiled clothes and of having a wash
day only two or three times a year.
Not every one realizes, perhaps that
the custom was brought over to this
country from Holland and that tbe
Dutch settlers long continued Its prac-'
tice. In these days of the ever ready
laundry It Is strange to read of the
laborious period which came to our
New Amsterdam ancestors four times
a year. Helen Evertson Smith tells
about It In "Colonial Days and Ways."
Tbe custom of quarterly clothes
washings was maintained notwlth
standing our summer bears and tbe)
Immense quantities of clothes neces
sary to keep up the state of cleanli
ness required by Dutch Instincts.
New Englander who had married a I
citizen of New York writes In 176(
of this practice, which was undoubted
ly strange to her:
"Grandmother Blum Is so deep In
her quarterly wash this week that shi
has time only to send her love."
Tbe washing was done In an out
bouse called the bleeckeryen. where
the water was boiled In immense ket
ties and all the other processes of the
laundry work carried on. . The work
required cot less than a week, fre
quently two weeks.
During the time preceding this cruel- -ly
hard labor the soiled clothes Were
accumulating in very large hampers of
open basketwork. This custom origi
nated the necessity for the great stores
of linen with which every bride was
provided.
Marbles.
Marbles got their name from the
fact that originally little bits of mar- -
ble were rolled down the hills and
rounded and pounded by other stones
until tbey became toys for the chil
dren to play with. It Is said that the
Dutch exported them to England.
Whether they did or not makes little
difference to tbe boys and girls of to
day. No matter who Introduced the
world to marbles as toys, they are
with us and always will be. Some of
yon get them from other children, some
of you trade postage stamps for them,
but some persons originally bought
them from the little store around the
corner, whose owner got them from
.the greatest toyshop In tbe world
Germany. In the beginning marbles
were called "bowls," and men and wo
men played with them as well as chil
