to a pattern , and made to take the general shape of the Temple Area , having its sudden slopes exactly Avhere the steps and ascents to the tAvo courts were , and now are found at exactly the same distances from the Sakhra as a central spot or station . The outline of the Avhole RockArea is
y the same as the' general outline of the whole Temple Area , platform Avith platform , and slopes with ranges of steps . Eroin the Sakhra to the south-Avest angle of the Haram there is a dip of 140 ft . ; to the south-east angle 160 ft . ; to the
northeast angle a dip of 120 ft . The ridge of the Sakhra slopes to the Triple Gate in the south wall 60 ft . in 400 , or one in 6 ' 5 ft . To the north it slopes to a natural valley , the head of which has the same level as the Court of Gentiles . The rock , in fact , has
been cut down and sloped all around the Sakhra as a CENTBAL COBB to the shape and levels of the pavement or courts . A contour has been given to it , with levels to fit and agree with the height and levels of the Temple Area . These are the results of a careful and systematic survey , and the
contour maps of the Palestine Ordnance Survey confirm these results . Around the Sakhra the rock slopes away gradually on every side . On the north-Avest the rock has a fall of about 20 ft . in 600 ; on the north a fall of 20 ft . in 400 ; on the east a
fall of 40 ft . in 400 ; and on the south a fall of 30 ft . in 600 . There is no other in the Haram , nor on the ridge of the spur of Moriah , where so much labour Avould be saved in the erection of such a Temple Area as round about this pinnacle and crown of the mountain . ( To he continued . )

NEAR a neat rustic village m Cleveland , some forty years ago , there resided a sturdy old farmer , ' named John , Chepworth , who Avas a Avidower , Avith three daughters , the eldest of Avhom Avas called May . And a pretty , sweet girl she Avas . Her father saidthat it Avas owing to

was a kind and loving daughter to him , and did her best to fill up the place left vacant by her mother . She took especial cave of her younger sisters , and also the sole management of her father ' s household , and he Avas in the habit of calling her his
right hand . Prom no dairy in the neighbourhood came SAveeter butter than that made by the hands of pretty May ; and in all the mysteries of cooking she Avas a perfect adept . All the family looked up to her if they were in Avant of anything .
