"IL LIKE 10 SEE EVERYTHING HAPPY"
Take care, my dear Mind you don't

The words came from q lady passing
along O country lane, and were addressed
to little girl who was leaning over q pond
by the roadside, reaching after Something
with a long twig which she had apparently
picked up in the hedge. The child drew
back rs the lady spoke, and turning to her,
said simply;

she said, as she took the twig from the
child's hand, "you shall not be drowned if
we can help you we should not like to be
drowned ourselves!"
And with little effort che succeeded in
guiding the leaf to the drowning insect.
They watched it with deep interest as it
struggled to gain q footing on the dry leaf;
and when at length it succeeded and began
to wipe the water from its wings, it would
DO hard to say which was the more pleased,

"There, think it will do now,n aaid
the lady. "The warm sunshine will soon
dry its wings, and it will fly away as gaily

"But have known children" abe said,

they were both going in the same direction

THE REAL CUSTER MAssAcRE-ANoTHER
LETTER FROM WENDELL Phillips.
To the Editor Of the Boston Transcripts
Will you explain why even your columns
talk Of the "C1ster Massacre Z" The Sioux
war, ali confess, is one that our miscond uct
provoked. During such q war Gen. Custer
has fallen in fair fight, simply because the
enemy had more soldierly skill and strate-
gy than Custer had. What kind of war is
if he kills us it lie q massacref When the
farmers of Concord and Lexington, in
1775, shot the British invaders Of their viii
lagos, was it q maesacref When the South
erners moved as down at Bull Run and
Balls Bluff, there was no talk of massacre
When the North paid them in their coin at
Gettysburg and Antietam, there were no
columns with staring capitals " Gettysburg
Massacre" know the privilege of foul
words always granted to the weak and the
whipped; but there isnot much self respect
in ueing it. The general use of this abusive
term betraye the unfairness of the Ameri-
can press. 1t shows o consciousness that
to be stated in plain words. We try to hide
our own infamy by abusing our Victims
according to the Old Bailey rule, " When
you have no defense, abuse the plaintiffs
But the word " massacre is an unfor-
inmate one for the friends Of Gen. Custer
to connect just now with his name. For
there really was, in 1863, " Custer massa-
Gre" when Gen. Custer-a disgrace to his
uniform and to the flag he bore--attacked a
peaceful Cheyenne village, near Fort Cobb,
whose inhabitants were either our prison
ers or our guests, dwelling there by our
order. At midnight, without the slightest
warning, his shouts woke this quiet settle
ment, and as the terrified sleepers rush from
their hnts Custer shoots down scores Of
women half asleep, and Of unsrmed peace
full men.
One of these was Moketavsta, whom
Chevalier Bayard and Sir Philip Sidney
would receive as a brother. This was the
real "Custer massacre" which the press
then proclaimed brilliant victory"
In 1907, Governor, afterwards President,
Harrison said: "The utmost efforts to In
duce the Indians to take up arms would be
unavailing If one only Of themany persons
who have committed murder upon their
people could be brought to punishment"
That this is as true now as in 1907, we
have the evidence of Major General Har-
,ney and Major General Pope, offered within
the last two years. Yours,
WENDELL PHILLIPS.

STATISTICS CONCERNING THE JBws-Jn the
course of an article upon the oondition of the
Jews in Eastern Europe, the RepWblque FFGH-
cdiee quotes come interesting statistics as to
their numbers both there and in other ooun-
tries. From these statistios it sppeRzs that
Jerusalem does not contain moro than eight or
nine thousand, and that the jews are rather
more numerous in North Africa than they are
in Judea. There are scarcely any jews In Italy
or Spain, and in Great Britain they do not form
moro than one in q thousand Of the inhSbit-
four to one Thousand Of the whole population
but this comparatively high proportion is due
to the fact that the Jews are very numerous
in the departments on the German frontier, the
Bas Rhin alone containing 20935. In the an
nexed provinces of Als0ce- Lorraine the Jews
number 40,92S ont of n total population of Q
million and . half, while in Switzerland there
are only 1857 Jews to a total population of
moro than 100000. Germany, including the
Polish provinces and Alsace-LoFraiue, contains
no moro than 5l2 100 jews. while in Austria
whole population. Nearly third of the Aus
trian Jews inhRbit the province of Gslicia,
where they form nearly an eighth of the whole
population, and where ct the rate of increase
Observed during the last twenty years they
will eventually be in an absolute majority.
The GO 000, 900 Inhabitants of Russian Europe
comprise $40, 100 Jews, who, until the recent
decree authorizing them to reside in any part
in Southerp Russia, to Courland and the ancient
provinces Of Poland. More than ]. 500, 600 Of the
Russian Jews reside in the POlieh provinces,
and As the inhabitants of those provinces num-
Der but IL, 113,0s5, they form more than IL per
cent of the whole population, outnumbering
the Poles, properly 90 called, by nearly half
MILAN. The Jews are SILL more numerous
proportfonally in the kingdom of Poland itself,
there being 5s3, 900, or Is per cent in total
population Of FOG 900. In 1867, Hamburg
contained 10 457 Jews out Of @ total population
of 3O6,5O7; Berlin "a SOS, out Of 600 ,991; and
St. Petersburg only 2612 ont of $50, 1881 while
in Waraaw there we're 72,776 Jews in total
population of 30 SOC. Their numbers have in
cTeaced since, ana they now represent IS per
cent Of the whOls population.

"We teach our children to sing, but We
never teach them to speak," says writer
on the cultivation of the voice. This does
not mean that we are entirely inatteutive
to grammar, or that we never correct a
marked error in pronunciation but that
the culture of tone is nearly unknown
among US. Almost all Americans have the
head voice, and our women particularly
have sbrili, sharp cadence that lie peculi-
arly unpleasant to q sensitive ear. That
!" soft and low voice." which Shakespeare
tells us is an excellent thing in women -
