i AROUND JTHJE WORLD X
? Scenes Surrounding the Holy Places in Nazareth K
S Cave, of the Prophets. i
Nazarktii, Palustink, March, '03.
No one fails to visit the beautiful
soring near the center of the city called
the Fountain of the Virgin. In the
evening it presents a picturesque ap
pearance. History says: "Here the
village maidens in their bright head'
dresses, assemble, and bear away their
well-filled pitchers on their heads. The
christian dress is distinguished by the
loose trousers of the women." There
can be no reasonable doubt that she
who was "blessed among women"
would often come here, perhaps carry
ing the infant savior in just the same
fashion as we may sec mothers of Naz
areth carrying their children today;
and no doubt many a time our savior,
as he came past here on his way home,
would tarry to quench his thirst at this
very stream whose waters the traveler
may drink today as a cup of blessing."
Behind Nazareth is a high hill called
the Dome of Neby Sain, from whose
summit one of the best views of the
country is obtained. It comprcnends
nearly half of Palestine. The view
here is worth more than it costs in
labor. "At a glance you seem to take

his purpose. As 1 was thinking of
throwing a rock at them they, doubt
less fearing David-like accuracy might
be perpetrated upon them, skulked
away toward their hiding place to the
southward and the. lady in our carriage
who had been so excited quieted down
to normal temperament.
In a few minutes the Lake of Gali
leethat historic that beautiful sheet
of water spread out before us, a sight
referred to as follows by the historian
who viewed the scene trom this point:
"In the foreground arc the steeply
sloping banks leading down to the lake,
which lies as a basin a thousand feet
below. The lake, from Tiberias on the
right, away to Capernaum on the left,
is distinctly seen. Across the lako
rise the irregular hills, sloping down
more or less precipitously to the wat
ci's edge; they are bare and barren it
is true, but they are rich and varied in
tone and tint. Behind them are the
mountains of Galilee, and away to the
north Hermou rises. Thus the view
consists of grassy slopes, a deep blue
in the whole land, and the first thought lake of considerable extent, with hills
that strikes you is that this must have j rising from it, and a snow-clad nioun
been a favorite resort of the savoir, i tain. It is impossible, however, to
nnd if so, he must have had constantly separate from these details the spirit
spread out before him the great library and inspiration of the scene; for yonder
of biblical story. On the north is was the dwelling place of Christ. Upon
Hermon; on the south the mountains those waters he trod, those waters
round about Shechcm; on the east the listened to his voice, and obeyed; from
mountains of Gilead on the other side one of those plateaus above the rugged
of Jordan; and on the west the great hills the swine fell into the lake,
sea (Mediterranean): the beautiful Bay Every place the eye tests upon is holy
of Acre; the ridge running out into the ground, for it is associated with some
sea Mount Carmel, crowned-with its most sacred scenes in the life of the
convent. Southwaids are the moun- master; even-where the gospel is
tains of Samaria and the hills round written upon this divinely illuminated
Jenin, and below lies the magnificent page of nature, and the very air seems
plain of Esdraelon, and the river full of the echo of his words. The

nates in glory, as Hermon, like a great the traveler will be struck' with the
wall of white crystal, stands out against, i change in temperature, reminding him
the" blue sky, with the Galileean hills of the' descent into (he Jordan. The
below it, and everywhere round that . views are interesting, especially as the
legion is scenery varied and pictur- old walled town of Tiberias makes a
csque." Staifding upon this eminence ; picturesque foreground to the scenery

but right here I shall state that this
well, ten feet deep, without a pump or
rope, was entered by a voting lady who,
with unwashed feot, stood in foutteon
inches of water, her tkess or skirt hav
ing been rolled about her waist. An
other lady descended about half way
where she took her station, supporting
herself by anchoring a foot on each
side of the well, thereby completing the
highway by which the jars were low
jrcd, and raised when filled to be car
ried away by the others who came in
companies.
Enroute from Cana we passed the
traditional Mount of Beatitudes whore
the Sermon on the Mount was
preached, if this is the true site. An
other tradition fixes this as the scene of
the Feeding of the Five Thousand.

The Sea of Galilee is said to be alive
with fish, and if those served at the
hotel are fair sample, one must seek
