The Jewish Wachers,

Among the Hebrews of New York
there is a class of men and ome about
whom the general public know little or
nothing, viz: those who watch and pre-
pare the dead for burial. As an Israel
lite, according to Jewish law, is not al
lowed to touch the body of a deceased
relative, it is apparent how necessary to
the Jewish community are those people
engaged in the peculiar business of car
ing for the dead. The technical Hebrew
term for them is "wachers," and their
number is comparatively small; they are
kept busy almost constantly, very often
not getting any regular rest for a week
OF more at a time, their powers of en-
durance in withstanding the attacks of
the drowsy god for days together being
really wonderful. As a general thing,
these wachers are pious, orthodox Israel
ties; but there are some among them
who are rough and coarse, brutal and
blasphemous. Even the most devout
are so hardened to their work that they
pass their nights and days beside the
dead in a gay and festive manner; that
is, Deing possessed, despite the horrible
nature of their employment, of good,
hearty appetites; they kill time by eat
ing, drinking, and smoking, early, late,
and often, and by reading and convers-
ing on both humorous and serious sub
iects. Some of them are so very relig-
ious that they invariably wash their
hands and pray before eating, and will
not partake of food which is cooked on
the Sabbath. Sometimes whole families
are engaged in TING business Of watching
the dead and preparing them rqf burial,

Swearing at the Beginning Of the ReyO
luton.

At least two men swore at the begin
ming of the revolution One of these
was Capt. Brown, who said, when his
comrade, Capt. Davis, was killed at Con-
cord by the British, cd d-n them,
they are firing balls. Fire men, fire I"
The other was Gen. Putnam, who led
the Connecticut troops at Bunker Hill,
and INDUCED in so much profanity when
the old Continentals retreated under the
fire of the enemy's artillery at the end OF
the fight that he apologized to his church
after the war, on the ground that SIT
was almost enough to make an angel
swear to see the towards refuse to secure
a victory so nearly won." He did the
brave men injustice, but the recording
angel, no doubt, blotted out his oaths
with a flood of tears, as it did in the case
of Uncle Toby. These two instances are
the only ones known of profanity in the
early days of the Revolution. As the
war progressed profanity became more
frequent, as with Gen. Ethan Allen
when he summoned the astounded
British General to surrender in the name
of Almighty God and the Continental
Congress.

How Is This for Pedigree

A very searching investigation was
carried on, a few years ago, in the north
of England, by two families who were
searching up their respective ancestry.
The strife was great between them ;
each one determined to look back into
antiquities farther than the other.
One of the families, whose name was
Spencer, employed an artist to paint a
historic scene representing the building
of the ark, and the loading up of the
ship by Noah and his sons with its multi
farious and various cargo.
On the g%ang-plank leading to the deck
of the ark two men were seen rolling up
a large box, on one side of which was
painted in large letters, "Relics, in
sigma and papers belonging to the Spen-
GER family"
This was considered a coup d'etat hard
to beat, but the other family, determined
not to be outdone in the antediluvian
pretenses of their name, prepared, at
great cost and research, a record of then
antiquity.
In describing the exploits of n Of
their ancestors, at a very early day, who
was represented as o man of authority,
this remarkable passage occurs
"During this year Adam and Eve
were driven out of Paradise"

and favorably known as the safest and

of Liver, Kidney, Bladder and Glandular

great demand. So satisfied are We of
the intrinsic worth of this medicine, that

LOST FOR A LIFETIME.

Some thirty years ago John Quincy
Adams attracted considerable attention
in Congress by a strong speech in favor
of a bill introduced by B. A. Bidlack of
Pennsylvania, which provided that one
mile square of the land then occupied
by the Miami Indians, embracing the
house and improvements of Frances
Slocum, should be granted in fee to her
and her heirs forever. The bill became
a law, and she occupied this special re-
serve until her death in the spring of
1S47.
The history of this woman wa re-
markable. She was the daughter of a
Quaker, who lived in the Wyoming val
ley during the revolution. Several
months after the massacre of 1778 she
was caught up by a party of marauding
Delaware Indians who got off before any
attempt could be made to rescue her.
She was five years old at this time.
About a month later her father was shot
dead by the Indians while at work in a
field near his house. Knowing that he
was gone to his eternal rest, the widow,
in time, became reconciled to her loss,
but she could never forget her child, the
last sight of which was when she was in
the arms of q brawny Indian, struggling
and calling piteously upon her parent to
come to her help.
The sons of Mrs. Slocum be-
came prosperous business men, and
after the close of the revolution they
used every effort to recover their lost
sister. In 1884 two of them visited
Niagara, where a large number of In.
dams were gathered, made diligent in,
quiries, and offered liberal rewards fol
any information of her. They prose
cuted the search for several weeks, anG
returned home with the impression tina
she was dead.
The mother, however, could not BIZ
persuaded that such was the case, anc
four years later the Slocums spent sew
eral months in the West among the In,
dian agents and traders, publicly Offering
$500 to any n who woull give any
authentic information of tn death Of
their sister, but their success was nc
better than before. A similar expedi-
ton was undertaken in 1897 by four o.
the brothers, with the same result. As
in the Ross case, the search brought
numbers of stolen children to light, but
none was the particularly wanted.
Mrs. SlOcum never lost faith in hel
daughters existence. She believed she
was somewhere waiting to be clasped il
her arms, and she continued the search
with scarcely any intermission unit
1907, when she died, her children prom
ising her to use every effort to learr
what had become of the little n alb
