ALL 6ECTS AND JERUSALEM RELIGIONS CHARITY. IN A Turks, Christiana, Jews nl Orrets Unite In Putting the Sisters of Charity In Charge of the Ilulldlug and Its Work An Impressive Scene. A rnowt fnterewtiuor article of The Jour nal des Debats describes a reraarVable scene which took' placo in Jerusalem The nwd of a municipal hospital for the reception of all the uick of the city had long been felt in JeruHaleKu The pasha an excellent man, ha.ju8t carried out thin important work, which had already been beun by his predecessor, Iiahouf I 'an ha. lint whom to put in care of the sick? Jewibti iiurnes? for half the population is Jewish, and 14,000 more Jews from Russia are expected. Or Mussulmans? for Juussulmans are also numerous. Or Greeks or Armenians, Copts or Catho lics? TIhj question lonif remained with out a solution. Finally tiie president of the municipal council, accompanied by two ElFendis, presented himself before Sister Sion, su- Ierioresn of the Daughters of Charity, ana asKeu m-r 10 tfive some or ner mun for the service of the hospital. She r.t once aked from her 8Ueriors the per- mission to accept the invitation, and a few days later the municipality itself came to thank the sisters for their con sent, aim oeg tuem at once to arrange the house for tho reception of the sick. There was no tune to lose. In earlv May they received their notice, and on Sunday, May 10. the opening was to take place in presence of Ibrahim Pasha ami the seraglio that is to say, tho council composed of a member of each national ity, the heads of all the religious and tin municipal council. THE ntESENTATlON. For three days and three nights the nuns had no rest. At midday on Sun day the nuns were all summoned in or der to meet at 1 o'clock in the large re ception room. At 1 o'clock the pasha arrived in state and all the dignitaries took their places. But the superior and the sisters, where are they? A carriage is heard approachin "Here they com"! At once a serenade began, and a thousand voices cried aloud, "Long live the Sisters of Chari ty!" The soldiers presented arms; the crowd pressed forward, so that the dra gomans had difficulty in making a way for the sisters. But at length thev as cended the main steps, preceded by the dragomans. uu taeir entry an arose, "iou are welcome, sisters, saui the pasha in ex cellent French. "I am too much aston ished at the appearance you have given to this house, in which you have been working for only three days, to be able to congratulate yon as I ought." '.'Your excellency, we have done our duty.1 said Sister Sion. "I am delighted," re plied tho pasha, "and we can only con gratulate ourselves on our choice." The whole meeting testified to their pro found sympathy and agreement. "iJo you find anything wanting, gentlemen, or is everything as you wishr" said the pasha, turning to the authorities. "For my part," said the grand rabbi, "the most beautiful thing I see in the hospital is the Sisters of Charity. For five years we have watched them at work, aud they have never fallen short of their professions. They have been mothers ami sisters to all, whosoever they might be." AN INTERESTING SCENE. "Long live the Sisters of Charity!" was the cry on all sides, in the wards, the corridors, etc. All were full of emo tion. After the presentation tho pasha returned to the divan to take part in a Turkish religious service. "Allah! Allah!" cried out the assistants, opening wide their arms and invoking blessings on the sisters ami the sick. Tho military doctor, on being present ed to Sister Sion, said, "Sister, 1 beg you to employ all your influence with the pasha to obtain me eight beds, so that my poor sick soldiers may be prop erly nursed." Sixteen doctors of the city who had been invited to the opening were pre sented by the physician of the hospital to the pasha and the sisters. The rabbis, the Mussulman and Schismatic chiefs came also to address their congratula tions to them. Finally the president of the municipal council assembled all the personnel of the establishment before the sisters. A rnoving scene then took place. He caused all to swear rtpect to the 6isters first of all the medical staff, then the pharmacists, the nurses, cooks, garden ers and porters. Each came up accord ing to his rank aud swore in his own language and manner what was asked. When the last had retired the presi dent said: "Sisters, I confide this house to you. You are at home. I need not beg you to act as mothers among your children. "Tablet. The World Fnlr wll have the Greatest Aquarium ever Constructed . The fish exhibit at the World' Columbian Kxposition is to be a wonderful one, and not the least interesting portion of it, naturally, will be the aquarial or live fish display. This will be contained in a circular building, 135 feet in diam eter, standing near one extremity of the main Fisheries building, and in a great curved corridor connecting the two. In the center of the circular build ing will be a rotunda sixty feet in diameter, in the middle of which will be a basin or pool about twenty six feet wide from which will arise a towering maws of rocks covered with moss and lichens. From clefts and crevices in the rocks crystal streams of water will gush and drop to the masses of reeds, rushes, and ornamental scmi-nqatie plants in the basin below. In this pool gorgeous gold fishes golden ides, golden trench, and other fishes will disport. From the rotunda one side of the larger series of aquaria may be viewed. LlThese will be ten in number and will have a capacity of seven thousand tf twenty-seven thousand gallons of water. Passing out tof the rotunda by the entrances a great corridor or gallery is reached where on one hand can be viewed the opposite side of the other a line of tanks and somewhat smaller, ranging from 750 to 1.500 gallons each in capacity. The corridor or gallery is about fifteen feet wide. The entire length of the glass fronts of the aquaria will be about 575 feet or over 3,000 square feet of surface. They will make a panorama never before seen in any exhibition, and will rival the great permanent aquariums of the world not only inside but in all otht r respects. The total watercapacity of the aquaria, exclusive oi reservoirs, will be 1K,725 cubic feet, or 110,000 gallons. This will weigh 1.102,425 pounds, or almost 00 tons. Of this amount about 40,000 gallons will be devoted to the marine exhibit. In the entire salt water circulation, in cluding reservoirs, there will be about K0,(Xl0 gallons. The pumping aud distributing plant for the mar ine aquaria will he constructed of valcanite. The pumps will be in duplicate and will each have capacity of 3,000 gallons per hour. The supply of sea water will be secured bv evaporating the ecessnry quality at the Woods Hill station of the I'nited States Fish commission to about one-fifth its bulk, thus reducing both quamty and weight for transportation about SO per cent. I he fresh water re quired to restore it to its proper density will be .-upplied from Lake Michigan. In transporting the inarm; tisms to t:::v.:go irom me coast there will also oe an addition of probably 3,0()0 gallons of pure- sea water to the suppply on each trip.

Ptoleimeus Philopater, one of the an cient kings of Etfypt, is said to have bnilt a vessel 420 feet long, 56 feet broad. 72 feet high from the keel to the top of the prow, and 80 feet to the tcp of the poop. She had four helms of 60 feet; her largest oars were 56 feet long, with leaden handles, so as to be more easily worked. She had two prows, two sterns and seven rostra or beaks. On both poop and prow she had figures of men and animals that were fully 18 feet high. She had 4,000 rowers, 400 cabin boys or servants, 2.820 marines to do duty on deck, besides being provided with im mense stores of arms and provisions. St. Louis Republic. An English gentleman, not a poet and not recently deceased, always wore in a braided necklace about his neck the long, beautiful hair which h.3 cut from his wife's head dnring her illness. The doc tor insisted that the hair must be shorn, and the husband allowed no one to cut it but himself, that he might preserve jrjjeach shining strand. Wonderful Campello Dog. I want to speak of a rather interesting example of animal sagacity I saw out in Campello this week. As the perform ance was of such a rare nature, and simxly demonstrated the affection dogs will sometimes have toward horses, 1 will speak of the case. A groceryman owns a horse and a remarkably intelli gent canine, and every time the horse is hitclied to the delivery wagon and it 6tarts the dog is sure to follow in the rear. In the case I refer to I noticed the wagon stop in front of a residence, and as soon as the driver had left the vehicle the dog commenced to crop grass. He got under the horse's head, reared on his hind legs and transferred the grass to the horse's mouth. Wonderful dog, that. Brockton Dispatch. A Fatal Mistake.
