The most pf the Jem sal cm Jew* aro
poor, and nine-tenths of them are sur
rounded by dirt and squalor. I took a
little Greek boy for a guide one day aud
made a tour through the Jewish quar
ters. My Greek could talk half a dozen
different languages, and ;? we went
through sectiop after section of the city
in which thousands of these Jews Uvea.
Their houses were of stone, and they
looked as though they had been dog out
of a rock Uke cave. Whole families
were living in one room of the size of a
hall bedroom, and few of these rooms
had * any windows. Many of them
opened out on little conrts, and 1 found
up two flights of stairs six families liv
ing in as many cave like rooma around
a dirty little close square.
Outsido of each room was a Uttle pen
in which there was a rude stove for Jthe
burning of charcoal, and in these little
box like pens," only large enough for a
woman to turn around in, all the cook
ing of life family was dona Through
the center of the court ran a well which
was the property of th* whole com-
innnity. There were no sanitary ar
rangements of any kind, and the smell
of filth was' disgusting.' On the door
posts of each of these rootns Was tacked
a strip of parchment six inches long,.go
which wort Hebrew characters. 1 asked
what these meant and was told that

mission through a letter to the sultan’s
governor of Jerusalem, who seat me
with a guard of Turkish soldiers to go
through.
It is the custom of the Jews, however,
to go on certain days of every week to
a place ontside this wall, and there, lean
ing with their heads against the stone,
they wail over the loss of Jerusalem,
and pray God to give back the land to
his chosen people. This is known as the
Jew's wailing place, and when I visited
It I found about fifty men in long gowns,
end a like number of Jewish women
with shawls over their heads, weeping
and praying. Many of the men had
white beards, and the cnrly locks in
front of their ears were of spun silver.
Others had boys with them. Some
were in their prime, and tho tears—gen-
nine tears—ran down the faces of all,
and some of them wero convulsed with
sobbing as they leaned there and prayed.
The wailing of one old Jewish woman
rings in my ears to this day, and th*
whole cut an impression into my mem
ory that can never be effaced.—Frank

He Could Not Speak English.
Dr. Isidore Lahatnt, who died re
cently at New Orleans in tho ninety-
eighth year of his age, was in several
ways a remarkable man. Although
a native of Louisiana and a resi
dent of that . state for the larger
part of his life, he could not speak a
word of English, and persistently refused
to learn the language, He received his
professional education in Paris, where
he studied for sixteen years.
While in France he was attached to
the surgeon's corps of Napoleon's army
as a student in 1804. He saw Nicholas
of Russia, the' emperor of* Austria 'and
King Frederick William III' of
vrheq they arrived jn Paris, and he was
there when Louis XVIII returned after
the banishment of Napoleon Jo the island
of Elba, and was also present at the 4b*

At a meeting of the American Aasoci-

Dr. Frederick Hoffman spoke about the
food preparations now so largely used
for Infante and children as substitutes*
for mother's milk and other food. Ao-
oording to reliable estimates the quan
tity of such 'artificial food annually con
sumed In th* United States amounts in
money viloe from about $8,000,000 to
$10,000,000. The problem of artificial
food for the rising generation, and par
ticularly during the first period of its
struggle for life and survival, is a very
important one, not only to the state, ths
commonwealth and the family, but also
to the sanitarian and tbs chemist These
artificial foods mostly claim to b* per

pendent chemists, often with question
