The fifth resolution adopted by the

More than forty years ago a system OF
making appointments to office grew up

rule, that honesty, capacity and fidelity
constitute the only real qualifications Tor

OlSPROPORTiON OF THE SEXES IN
GERMANY.

The proportion of males to females in the
population of the German Empire appears
to be steadily declining. In 1865 the ex-
cess of females over males. in what Is now
the German Empire, was 54s, ,63l. which de
clined in the folio wing nine years Of peace
to 3l3 1888 in 1864. At the end OF 1866.
that is. after the Schleswig- Holstein and
Austrian wars, the excess was 41l,SS5 In
December, 1871, the effects Of the war with
France were shown in an asceriained sur
plus female population of 155,S ,S15. Thus in
the seve wears, from 1864 to 1871. the ex-
cess of females over males in the German
population had increased by 20 less than
fourteen per cent. Although no inconsI-
derable portion Of this loss to the German
male population is due 10 actual slaughter
on the battle field, it il undoubtedly caused
principally by emigration. Evenif emigra-
ton could be checked. it would tax.

MAlMoNlpES. The MAGICIAN

The following beautiful story was translat-
ed from the Hebrew for the Jewish Messen
ger:
In order that they should be able to un-
derstand all cases brought before them, the
Zekanim. or eiders-comprising the san
hedrim-were obliged, before they were
pronounced worthy of such Office. to under
stand we'll. and speak with fiuency. seventy
different languages. In order to be admit
ted as an elder. the candidate was TO be full
ly versed in all practices, studies. and Gus
toms at that time known throughout the
world. and to be ably qualified in meeting
even the arts and devices Of witchcraft-
then practiced upon large scale-on no
less formidable footing. so that, should
any complaint be brought before them by
those who spoke foreign language, they
should be able to converse with them IN
their own tongue. There was no necessity
for dependency on an interpreter. thereby
enabling them to administer rightful justice.
to mete out to the wrong his proper deserts.
And when, as the Gemarah describes, cases
were brought before them by any who pre-
fessed and praeticed the black art, and en-
deavored TO defeat justice by means of the
power they possessed. the judges. by means
Of the requirement Of this secret power.
which they never practiced hut on compul-
sion were enabled TO frustrafe their intend
ed designs.
Thoroughly qualified in all these acquire
ments, in after days. even when NO Sauhe-
drim existed. was Moses Maimonides. the
astrooomer. philosopher, linxuiss- philan-
thropiss. and physician Possessing al
these oualikcations TO protection, il vas nos
