THE PLAIN OF SHARON'
I have spoken of four places beginning
tn all of them close together.
Shoehem. Bychar. Salim and Samaria.
There remains a fifth, the Plain of Sha
ron.
Our party was headed north, making
for the province of Galilee, with Naaa
reth and the Sea of Galilee as our ob
jective point a
TWO ROUTES.
In the time of our Lord there were
two routes from Judea to Galilee, one
leading through Samaria and the other
east of the Jordan.
So now there are two routes from Sa
maria to Galilee. One follows the up
land route and leads by Dothan, Jenin,
Jetreel. Endor. Nala. Shunem and across
the Plain of Eadraleon. The other la
the valley route. It leads across the
Plain of Sharon to the Mediterranean
tea, then along the shore to Mourn
Carmel, around the head of Monnt Car
mel to Haifa, and then back to Naza
reth. The former route is much shorter
tn miles. But it is much rougher. They
are building a carriage road now along
that route, which would give a contin
uous carriage road north and south
through Palestine from Hebron to Ti
berias. But It is not yet completed. A
gap of some miles, amounting to about
a day's journey, remained in it when we
were there. It was impossible, there
fore. to go that route m carriages. It
could have been traveled only on horse
back. Some members of our party were
on horseback, and they at first thought
of leaving the carriages and going the
upland route. But as it would have In
volved a separation of a day and night
from the carriages, and as there were
only a few of the party on horseback,
it was concluded that it would be better
for the whole party to stay together.
And so as the carriages could not go the
upland route, while the horoes could go
the valley route, the whole party took
the valley route. While we should have
been glad to see the places along the
other route, all of them with an In
teresting history connected with them,
yet we enjoyed very greatly our ride
across the
PLAIN OF SHARON.
There are two great plains running
along the coast of Palestine, one north
of Mount Carmel, called the Plain of
Akkaon Acre, the ocher, much larger,
south of Mount Carmel, called the Mari
time Plain, or the Sea Plain. This is di
vided into two other plains, known as
the Plain of Phillstla. or the Philistine
Plain, from Jappa to Gaza. and the
Plain of Sharon, from Mount Carmel
to Joppa The Plain of Sharon is 44
miles in length, by from •to 12 miles
In width, between the centra! range of
mountains and the Mediterranean sea.
It is one of the most fertile plains In
aU the world. Despite the fact that
it has been cultivated from time im
memorial. Its soil is stlh rich and yields
• abundant harvests year after year. Thia
is due largely to the fact that what
Jtttle soil is consumed in the production
of crops by the shallow methods of
cultivation which have obtained for een

stick and a short grubbing hoe, and
reaping the grain with a hand sickle
has been replenished by the washings
from the limestone rocks of the adjacent
hills. And thus the plain is kept for
ever fertile. When we crossed it on the
18th and 19th of April, 1910, it was cov
ered almost from one end to the 'other
with wheat ripening in the sun and
waving in the breeses. They do not
raise any corn at all, only wheat and
barley. It was a beautiful sight, one of
the prettiest I ever saw from an agri
cultural standpoint—land level as the
floor, covered aa far as the eye could
reach with wheat and barley inter
spersed with occasional grass plots on
which herds of cattle or flocks of sheep
or goats were feeding. No fences mar
the scene. Few trees obstruct the vis
ion. Here and there the landscape is
dotted with villages. There are very few
of these villages, however, in the val
leys or plains of Palestine. Nearly all of
them are built on a hilltop or hillside.
This is partly for the purpose of saving
fertile lands for cultivation and princi
pally for protection from enemies or
marauders. There are no farm houses
as we have, such houses isolated from
other houses. Every one lives in a vil
lage or city, for mutual protection.
A VILLAGE ON THE PLAIN.
The first night out from Bhechem we
camped near one of these villages. Ka

800. maybe as many as 1,000. In the
day the men work in the fields, or lead
their herds or flocks to pasture. At

from robbers.
THE VILLAGE WELL.
There is only one well in the village,
as is usual with villages in Palestine.
It was a short distance from our camp.
It is a kind of cistern said to be filled
with rainwater, surrounded by a broad
stone curbing. Here the women and
girls of the village come to get water
for drinking and cooking purposes—not
for bathing purposes. I psesume, »for
there would hardly be enough of it for

use it that way. Here the men come in

watch them —men, women, children, cat

around the well. The result, you may
imagine, was to render the ground
around tne well sloppy, muddy, and alto
gether tn a not very sanitary condition.
A VISIT TO THE VILLAGE.
A visit to the village gave us the op
portunity which we had long wanted, of
seeing the homes of the poorer class in
Palestine and observing ho* they live.
The houses are built of atone or dried
mud. mostly the letter. They are low.
with an opening answering to a door,
but no windows. They are usually two
stories high. The first story is flat on
the ground. This is literally "the
ground." In this story are kept the
cattle and shoe pand goats and chickens
or other live stock belonging to the fam
ily. It is necessary to keep them under
the eye of the owner, or otherwise they
would be stolen. The second story of
the house is in the same room as the
first story. It is simply a raised plat
form, about two feet higher than the
first story. This Is the famifr room
It is also their bed-room, dining-room,
reception hall and parlor. There are no
chairs, no bureau, no washstand, no bed.
no furniture of any kind, except a quilt

consists of a hole in the side of the
room. In which is placed an oven where

constitutes the family meal. The fuel'

The apparently uncorseted figure made
Its appearance in Paris some time ago
and has recently been seen on our own
shores. Some of these figures really are
uncorseted, but the majority of them
wear the new corsets, which are said to
ba the proper thing by Dame Fashion &
Co., corsetieres.
These corsets are merely hip conflners.
They extend only a few inches above
the waist where they are held cloae to
the figure by elastic. The skirt exten
sion Is cut on corset lines with boned
gorings. A brassiere should be worn to
confine the body a little more than does
the ordinary loose frivolous garment
worn by the average woman.
This evolution in stays has evidently
been brought about by the vogue for the
high waist line and the mandarin bodice.
But whatever the real cause, the wise
women who adopt the fashion are going
to be both healthier and more comfort
able.
But it wm living, and that was all the
inhabitants of th* village seemed to
care for—simply to live. In fact, it is
about all that the Turkish government,
with its abominable oppressions and ex
actions, will allow them to do. The
government tax on camels Is 40 cents a
head, on sheep 20 cents a on cows
20 cents a head. This for those poor
people is a great deal. Strangely
enough, there Is no tax on a horse or
donkey. Olive trees are taxed so much
a tree. Sometimes in a bad year, when
the yield Is small, it 13 cheaper to cut
down the tree than to pay the tax on it.
SOCIAL CUSTOMS.
As to their social customs, every man.
according to the Korart, may have four
wives. Each man usually has tyo wives.
Girls marry at the age of from *l2 to 18.
Girls are not educated. When I asked if
they are, the reply was, ‘‘Why should
they be?” Boys are taught reading,
writing and something from the Koran.
The sexes dance separately. There is lit
tle Immorality. The men wear dresses
coming down to the feet. On their heads
they wear the fez In the cities and towns.
In the country they wear the turban, a
large cloth wrapped around the head and
held on by a contrivance resembling
what the wemen of our country would
call a “rat" The women in the cities are
distinguished from the men by their
heavy evils, covering and hiding the
whole face in Palestine and Syria. In
the villages, though they do not wear
these veils and are distinguished princi
pally by their long hair and perhaps by
the cut of their dresses, though I con
fess that I was hardly sufficiently versed
in the eastern style of clothing to tell
the men and the women apart very readi

AN INCIDENT.
The men an> women are not expected to
be seen together In public. I had rather
a striking Illustration of this in my own
experience. The roads through the Plain
of Sharon are not macadamized, as they
are from Jerusalem to Hebron, Jericho
and Sachem. They are just plain “dirt
roads,” as we would call them in this
country, except that the dirt is often
sand. They are fairly good, but travel
over them, is rather slow. The horses
would seldom go out of a walk. To re
lieve the tedium of the long ride, and
in order to take some exercise, a number
of us walked a considerable part of the
way, easily keeping up with the car
riages, and sometimes getting a little
ahead of them. The weather Was fine,
the air bracing, and walking was very
pleasant. Several of the men were walk

Real Prize Winner Barred

Birmingham, Ala., November 25, 1910

Gentlemen:
When a cooking school was conducted in this city a
few weeks ago by an afternoon newspaper I believed the ob
ject was to teach the people not only the proper and most
economical way to cook, but to enlighten the people as to
' the most healthful and economical material to use with a
view to producing the best results.
Accordingly when the contest for the best beaten bis
cuit was announced I determined to compete. l Not knowing
that the contest, or cooking school, was a blind advertise
ment in the interest of any particular manufacturer I pur
chased the most healthful material, principle of which was
the shortening.
I baked my biscuit, submitted them for the inspection
of the judges retained by the newspaper in the interest of
‘the manufacturer of a certain shortening, and won the first
prize.
Then, to my surprise, I discovered that the contest was
hemmed in by conditions. These conditions specified the
use of a shortening made by the manufacturer who was
paying the newspaper to conduct this cooking school. In
stead of using that shortening I had used Snowdrift Hogless
Lard, manufactured by The Southern Cotton Oil Company,
which I knew from long experience to be the best and the
most healthful shdrtening on the market. My use of this
shortening was through ignorance of the conditions, and a
certain knowledge that the best results at the least expense
could be produced with Showdrift. The fact that my biscuit
were awarded first prize bears' out my opinion. That is what
I thought the cooking school hoped to .accomplish.
As soon as I learned the conditions of the contest I of
course declined to accept the prize even though my biscuit
had been pronounced the best. However? I think you, as
brokers for Snowdrift Hogless Lard, the best shortening on
the market, will be interested to know that judges retained
in the interest of a competitive manufacturer, awarded the
prize to biscuit baked with Snowdrift.
Yours very truly, .
, ' (Signed) Mrs. Harry Andrews

A Partisan Cooking School, similar to
this, was conducted in Atlanta recently
tie ahead of the carriages, and were
just behind the pack mules. This lady, I
should say, had had occasion to do a
very special kindness to one of the serv
ants, and was very popular with them.
In the field were a number of young
Arabs. Seeing the lady and myself walk
ing together, they came close to the road
side, began pointing at us, laughing and
jabbering something which we could not
understand. We thought they were
simply guided by an idle curiosity, such
as would lead a crowd of young people
in this country to follow a party of
Chinese passing along the streets of one
of our cities or towns, and more espe
cially along a country road. I thought,
perhaps, they were amused at what were
to them the peculiar costumes of the for
eigners. So we paid no attention to
them, but kept on our way. Several of
the servants on the pack mules seemed
to be lingering behind watching us. espe
cially the one to whom the lady had
done the kindness. All of a sudden, as
the crowd of young Arabs was pointing
at us, jabbering and laughing, this serv
ant surprised us by breaking out with

the exclamatidn, “G—d d—n for every
Musselman.’’ I was utterly amazed. I
was not sure that I understood him. I
looked up at "him and said. “What?” He
repeated the remark with emphasis. I
said. “You must not say that. What
is He simply replied, smil
ing, but with an earnest look upon his
face, “Every Musselman is no good.” I
still did not understand. I learned after
wards, though, that the young Arabs
were insulting the lady and myself on
account, I suppose, of our walking to
gether along a public road. Or rather,
they were making insulting remarks. Not
understanding the remarks, however, we
did not know that we were being insulted,
and so did not take the insults to our
selves. But the servants understood, and
they were very Indignant, especially the
one who had made the remarks quoted.
He went back to George, our dragoman,
riding in the rear carriage, reported to
him what had been said, and wanted to
whip out the young Arabs. But George
very wisely advised him to let the mat
ter drop, which he reluctantly agreed to
do. The incident showed several things:
1. The opinion in which women are
held In the east.
2. The power of kindness upon any
one, however humble.
3. That it is often best not to take an
insult, but to pass it by unnoticed.
4. The feeling in Palestine between the
Musselmans—or Moslems, or Moham
medans—and the Christians. George, otfr
dragoman, was a Christian, and so I
understand were all of our servants.
George was a member of the Church of
England, or an Episcopalian, So also,
i I presume, were some others of the serv
ants, though most of them probably were
Romain or Greek Catholics. Evidently,
though, judging from the remark quoted,
their Christianity is more nominal than
i real.
ANOTHER INCIDENT.
A rather amusing Incident occurred
with two other members of the party, a
lady and gentleman who were walking
together. The carriages had crossed
a small but muddy and miry stream.
The lady and gentleman were a little be
hind. When they came to the stream
they could not cross without getting wet
They looked lur a place
narrow enough for them to jump over,
but could not find it. They paused a
moment, as if uncertain what to do. We
were all watching them. The driver of
our carriage took in the situation, jump
ed out, rolled up his pants— most of
the servants being Christians wore the
European style of clothes—waded across
the stream, which he could easily do to
his bare legs and bare feet, and offered
to help the lady and gentleman across.
The lady yielded at once. The driver
picked her up in his arms, waded across
and set her down on the other side.
He then went back for the gentleman.
But his independent spirit rebelled. He
again looked for a place narrow enough
for him to jump across. Hd» could not
find it, and finally he had to accept the
inevitable. Amid the laughter of the
