WaahlnKton, D. C ) (Prepared clay bins containing wheat, barley, lentils, figs and raisins for the winter food supply ; also large jars of oil. Keliind this row of bins Is stored fodder for the animals. In a recess in the wall is a pile of bedding, folded up during the day and at night floor. spread out on the Of special interest Is the lower level of the house the' stable portion of the home. Aloug the walls are ranged stone mangers, to which are tied the plow oxen, milch cows, and the Inevitable camel. Beneath the rowyeh are the quarters for the flocks, partitioned off from the rest of the cattle by piles of thorn bushes collected for the winter fuel. After a rainless summer, when all Is parched and dry, the winter sets in with its showers, Us occasional terrific storm of rain and wind, now and then a lashing hailstorm, and with snow flurries soniyrimes years apart. But these stormy days are Interspersed with periods of springlike sunshine and warmth. During this season the shepherd finds scant pickings for his flock on the rocky mountainsides, and however warm and pleasant the day may be, the nights are always cold and raw; so the sheep are stabled in tiie house below the rowyeh. As spring approacnes, the rainstorms change to showers, the grass shoots forth, the flowers bloom. The sheep are sheared, and. since their quarters In the house have become too warm, they are kept during the night In the shcepfold. Spring, with its abundance of green pastures, passes; the lambs are born; the harvest time approaches; then the grain Is reaped. Following the reapers are Ihe gleaners, the destitute of the village, who, like Ruth, the Moabitess. are still, according to the Biblical Injunction, never debarred from the harvest field. Shepherd's Daily Life. After the gleaners conies the shepherd with his flock. Amid the freshly cut stubble, succulent growths are found ; also dried, but tender, blades of the wnent or barley; but, best of all, the sheep find, deep down In the stubble, many an ear of grain dropped by the reapers and passed over by the gleaners. These nourishing pickings are soon gone, and In the desert places the good shepherd now seeks summer pasture. During the spring and harvest the shepherd stays around his home village. In Ihe morning we find him leading forth bis flocks to Ihe harvest fields; nt noon we see him leading on to water. At night, wrapped In a sheepskin coat and bis unchanging aba. the youth sleeps on the flat roof, from which point of van'age ho can see the sheep In the fold, peacefully chewing their cuds, at any time of the night; for. although they are surrounded by high stone wall and Ihe single door Is securely locked nnd barred, he knows thai thieve are always to be feared, and therefore is constantly on the alert. It Is early dawn. Aftr placing In his lentbern scrip some small Hat loaves of bread, a bit of cheese, soni and home-cureolives for breakfast and Hie midday meal, the shepherd unbolt the door.

But the shepherd life of the Holy Land has remained unchanged since the days of Abraham and the first Christmas. The natives of Palestine are composed of three distinct classes. Their homes, food, clothing und customs are dissimilar, but they are united by language and tradition. is a nomThe Uedouin ad and warrior; to him flocks and herds are a main source of livelihood. The fellah, or peasant, is a farmer, living in a stone bouse, huddled with others in a village.

Is made up of the artisans and merchants. Few city folk keep Hocks; those that do are the local dairymen. It Is the peasant shepherd with wiiotu t his narrative Is concerned. The peasant sh?piierd boy is usually the youngest male laborer of the family. As the oldest son grows up to help the father with the sowing, plowing, reaping, threshing, and olive picking, a younger takes his place with the Hock ; and so on down the line until the lot of being the family shepherd finally falls to the youngest. Thus It wus with the youth David, who, even when in later life he became psalmist and king, failed not to recall his boyhood shepherd days, and In thinking thereon to weave their romance Into bis sublime poetry. The shepherd boy wears a simple robe of cotton ; this Is strapped around his body f)y "a leathern girdle about his loins;" and still, like John the I'.aptist in the Wilderness, he has his raiment or coat of camel's hair or of coarse hutidspun wool. d tent-dwell- Hock-raisin- g His Aba la a Necessity.
