The Hebrew Maid.

l always liked the Hebrew maid. Her
nose made lao difference to me. 1t is
rather in her favor that she eats no pork
it always was a bad habit; anybody
who has seen hog of fourteen hundred
pounds lying in a mud-hole can appreci-
ate the Hebrew maiden's prejudice. But
she has eyes, hair, complexion, and heft
that please me well. As far as L am
aware, there are no abbreYiations neces-
sary to the full acceptance in the faith.
A perfect woman, nobly planned, with
many shackles in her hand. She fattens
handsomely. Who ever saw lean jew
ish maid or matron? If it isn't written
in the Koran it ought 10 be, that the pre-
siding Allah, when he saw how piously
Judith, Miriam, HagaF, and the rest Of
them gave up their pork and beans, ham
and eggs, sausage, scrapel and spare rib,
he said: "Bishallah, Mashallah, or
any other Allah; since my handmaid
has put aside the swine she shall inherit
his heft." The domestic virtues of
Israel are seen here in their perfection.
The men smoke, the women dress; two
Hebrew lovers are fond to see; they ap-
pear to be conducting a most civilized
bargain. No simpering schoolgirl is
that broad -shouldered, broad beamed
young creature whose ancestors minis
tered in the temple and past two thosand
years OF bondage in the perpetual acqulsl-
tiOn of art and porperty. She marries
with her eyes wide open and an in
visible pair of scales between them. She
weighs him by caTats. She tests his
property and his faith. When she yields
to his suit he has married faithful wife,
fruitful mother, and a woman of bust
ness. Her appetite grows with her
years and progeny. Business sons grow
from this Jessica. She grows old as iron
rusts, merely OxidiZing in her strong rich
tresses, and their hoary theoeracy, that
is still the only grand and pOetieai relig-
ion, descends about their cave of Macpe-
lah, where in the primitive of law and
creation they are gathered to their IA
theirs. The Jews are by nature con
vivial people, and therefore they prefer
our Watering places more and more every
year. Most OF them come to us through
German stock. They are always in con-
tact with other races, and yet do only
touch; their voyage down the ages,
through the races, is an odyssey such as
the phantom ship aehieved-that craft
of sailors fears which bears upon the
doomed human vessel, strikes her with
out shock, then opens and sails away.
Her prov is ever the Roman beak, the
Hebrew nob.-GeO. Alfred Townsend.

In village of PoitOu woman, after
being very i'll, fell into lethargy. Her
husband and those about her believed her
TO be dead. They wrapped her up in
nothing but a piece of linen, according
ing TO the custom of the poor people in
that country, and caused her to be ear
ried 10 the burial ground. On the way
to church those who were carrying her
passed so near bush that the thOrns
pricked her, and she recovered from her
lethargy. Fourteen years afterward she
really died, at least IL was so believed
As they were carrying her TO her burial
and drew near bush, the husband cried
out two or three times: Don't go near
the hedges"

coasts contains in solution, besides, silver
and appreciable quantity of gold-esti-
mated at about one grain to ton of wa.

chloride of barium, apparently as an au-
rate of baryta adbering to the precipita-

alloy of about six parts Of gold to four Oi

The ..Moarann AbduelIon.

Letter OF Thurlow Weed TO the Nss York Herald
l did not personally know William
Morgan, who was for more than two
months writing his book in house ad-
joining my residence, at Rochester. When
appied to by Mr.. Dyer, my next door
neighbor, where Morgan boarded, TO print
the book purporting to disclose the Sc
crets of Masonry, declined to do so, be-
lieving that 4 man who had taken an
oath TO keep a secret had no right 10 dis
close it. Although not a freemasOn,
had entertained favorable opinions Of an
Institution TO which Washington, Frank
lin and Lafayette belonged. On my re-
fusal TO print his book Morgan removed
TO Batavia, where he made the acquaint-
ance of David {. Miller, editor Of the Ad-
yOcate, also manson, who became his
publisher. l pass briefly over "A series of
facts which were jUdicially established,
embracing the arrest Of Morgan, his con-
veyance To and confinement ia the coun-
ty Jail at Canandaigua, from which he
was released and conveyed by night in
close carriages through Rochester, Clark
son and along the Ridge road to Fort Nj
agara, in the magazine of which he was
confined. While thus confined a knight
templar encampment was installed at
Lewiston When at supper the zeal and
enthusiasm of the templars having been
aroused by speeches and wine. Col. VIM.
King, of LockpOrt, invited four men
(Whitney, Howard, Chubbuck, and Gar
side) from their seats at the banqueting
table into an adjoining apartment, where
he informed them that he had an order
from the grand Master de Witt Clintom)
tile execution of which required their as
sistance. This party was then driven TO
Niagara, reaching the fort little before
twelve O'Clock.

Drinking Water.

Or. Hall il opposed to the immoderate
drinking of water. He says: The longer
one puts of drinking water in the morn
ing, especially i'm the summer, the less he
will require during the day; if much Is
drank during the forenoon the thirst Of
ten increases, and a very unpleasant full
ness is observed in addition 20 a metaliC
taste in the mouth. The less 4 man
drinks the better for him, beyond a mod
crate amount. The more water a man
drinks the more strength he has to eX-
pend in getting rid of it, for all the fluid
taken into the system must be carried out,
and As there is but little nourishmeut in
water, tea. coffee, beer, and the like, more
more strength is expended in carry them
out of the system than they impart to it..
'fhe more he drinks the more he must
perSpirc, either by the lungs or through
the skin; the more he perSpireS the more
carbon is taken from the system; but this
carbon is necessary for nutrition, hence
the less a man is nOuriShed the less
strength he has.
Drinking water largely diminishes the
strength in two ways, and yet many are
under the impression that the more wa
ter swallowed the more thoroughly is the
system washed OUT Thus, the less we
drink at meals the better for us. If the
amount were limited TO 4 single cup of
/ hot tea or hot milk and water at each
meal, an Unreasonable good would result
to us all. Many persons have fallen into
the habit OF drinking several glasses of
cold water, or several cups of hot tea or
I coffee at meals. All such viii be greatly
l benefited by breaking it up at once. 1t
may be very well to drink u little at each
meal, and, perhaps, it will be found that
I i'm all cases it is much better TO take a
( single cup of hot tea at each meal than a
1 glass of cold water, however pure.

LIE MUEpER oF MoRaAN.

Upon entering the magazine Col. King
Informed Morgan that his friends had
completed their arrangements for his re-
moval TO aud residence upon a farm in
Canada. Morgan walked with them to
the wharf, where boat was held in read
iness for them by Elisha Adams, an inva-
lid soldier, into which the party passed
and rOwed away, Adams remaining to
warn the boat of by signal II on its re-
turn any alarm had been given. II was
nearly two o'clock in the morning when
the boat came back, having, as Adams
expressed il, lost one man, only five Of
the six being on board when the boat re-
turned. When the boat reached a point
where the Niagara river empties into
Lake Ontario, a rope being wound around
Morgan's body, TO either end Of which a
sinker was attached, he was thrown over
board. Ii Is due to the memory of Gov
Clinton TO say that Col. King had no such
order and no authority TO make use of his
name. 1t is proper also, to add that none
Of these men survive. John Whitney, Of
Rochester, whom | knew well, related all
the circumstances connected with the
last act in that tragedy TO me at Albany
in 1881, in the presence Of Simeon B.
Jewett, of Clarkson, and Samuel Barton,
of Lewiston.

THE BODY CLAIMED AGAIN

Late in October there came a report
that the body declared TO be that of VIM.
Morgan was claimed by his family TO be
that of Timothy Monroe, Canadian,
who was swept IN a small boat over Nj
agara Falls eleven days previous TO the
time that the body was washed ashore at
the mouth of Oak Orchard creek. The re-
mains III the meantime had been taken by
Mrs. Morgan 10 Batavia. \ third inquest
was now TO be held for the purpose Of es-
tablishing the claim Of Mrs. Monroe. A
large concOurSe Of citizens was in atten-
dance. Mrs Monroe appeared, and gave
a description Of her husbands person
and of the clothes il which he left home
on the morning Of the day lie was drown
ed. Previous 10 her examination Bates
Cook, chairman of the Morgan inyestiga-
ting committee, examined the clothes Ia
ken from the body and carefully preserv-
ed by the coroner with great minuteness.
This enabled him 10 test the accuracy Of
Mrs. MOnrOe's knowledge and memory.
Neither Mrs. Monroe nor any person
sympathiZing with her or interested in
the Identification Of the body as that of
Monroe had access TO it or had seen any
Of the wearing apparel Of the deceased.
And yet Mrs. Monroe not only gave
general description Of each garment, but
underwent a rigid examination by
Mr.. Cook of more than an hour, in
which she described with singular accu-
racy every rent and patch found in each
garment. She indicated buttons she had
seized on the pataloons 10 replace those
lO-v which did not match the others. She
also described one stocking that had been
darned with yarn of a different color. In
a word, her description Of the clothing
was 80 accurate in every particular as to
leave no doubt that each article had been
under her special care. But, wonderful
" accurate as she had been on this point,
she was most strangely wrong in her des-
cription of the body, Monroe being at
least three inches taller than the corpse.
She described her husbands hair and
whiskerS as coarse and black, adding that
his hair had been cut quite short few
days before he was drowned, while that
upon the head Of the deceased was long,
silky and of a chestnut color. MOnrOe's
son confirmed his mothers testimony re
latIng both 10 the clothes and the body.
No attempt was made 10 impeach either,
nor was there any doubt thar Monroe had
been drowned rs alleged. Itwas difficult

FINDING TIE BODY.

In October, 1927, more than a year af-
ter the abduction of Morgan, body drift
ted on shore near small creek which en-
tered into Lake Ontario. 4 cOrOner's in
quest was held, and a verdict rendered
that it was the body Of an unknown per-
son. The coroner wrote out minute
description of the body, and published it
along with the finding of the jury in an
Orleans county newspaper. That des-
cription, attracting the attention of per-
sons well acquainted with Morgan, excl
ted considerable interest. The widow
and several intimate friends of Morgan
seemed 30 confident that it was his body
that the committee appointed TO inYesti-
gate the abduction determined 10 hold an
other inquest, of which public notice was
given. On the day appointed some sixty
or seventy people assembled at the mouth
of Oak Orchard creek, where the body Of
the unknown man was inferred. Before
opening the grave Mrs. Morgan and DR..
Strong described certain marks upon
MOrgan's body, by means of which il
could be identified. When the rude cof-
fin was opened the body it contained dis
closed the peculiarities described, and af-
ter deliberate examination, the jurors de-
clared it unanimously the body of VIM.
Morgan. From this verdict no one pres
ent dissented, and for a week or ten DAYS
the question seemed to be settled.
