THE ENGLISH JEWS I'm POI.HTEGS.

Like the Roman Catholics, the Jews fol-
lowed the Liberal camp so long as they had
disabilities to be removed, When no ma
terial disability remained, they began to
gravitate toward the party of wealth. It
was natural that they should do SO. Juda-
ism, apart from Asian mysteries and rhap-
sodies, is simply surviving relic of the
primeval world 1t is tribal religion, the
greatest and most memorable of the group:
but still a tribal religion, from which the
spiritual and universal elem ent has disen-
gagged itself in the form of Christianity,
leaving, with tribal god, a tribal law of
morality far better than other tribal laws.
yet clearly enough belonging to the ages
before humanity. Such a survival cannot be
expected to have much sympathy with pro-
gress, while, as money power, its natural
tendencies are obviously plutocratic. The
election of Jew Conservative WAS one of
the events ssof 1873 He declared himself
an advocate of religious education, though
he might have found some difficulty in
arranging with the Bishops the form of re-
igion to be taught in schools. - Gold,cin

total revolution in their character; the
buttons are taken off, the Innings are
torn out, and what remains of the fabric
is grounu by machinery into devils
dust" This is the first step in what may
be called the resurrection in old clothes.
When coat will not so much as hang
together to dress up scarecrow, it will
still make down into very good shoddy,
as the devils dust is politely named. The
meaning of this is that the garment is
torn up by the toothed wheels into a
condition of loose fbres, which, on be-
ing properly sifted, are mixed with fresh
wool, carded, spun and woven into cloth.
This is a triumph of art The shoddy,
or mungo, as it is sometimes called after
being fit for the dung-heap. is incorpor-
ated into what appears to be exceedingly
beautiful cloth, and is gain proudly ex-
hibited as Sunday clothes on the backs
of thousands of wearers.

Nothing seems to be so thoroughly
used up as old clothes. The buying and
selling of cast-oAf apparel is a great
business in London. Usually the worn
garments are freshened up by dye-stuffs
pressed and otherwise doctored for the
market. This process is called clobber-
ing and in itself is business. The bet
ter class of old dress coats, when nicely
clobbered, have respectable appearance.
Clerks with poor salaries, walters, small
tradesmen and curates with meagre sti-
pends, are among the purchasers. Coats
and wooden garments which have done
good service are exported to Ireland and
Holland, where you may see them in
great quantities for sale at the. fairs and
markets. Wooden garments may be dis
posed of time after time; they are at
length no longer possible.and then comes

Then came the funy-the utterly inde-
ssribable agony of the dying whale. Now
high in air, now making short plunge,
Eis body bent like bow by the nameless
agony, darti ig here and there, swimming
in eccentric circleJ and making the water
foam in his fruitless efforts to reach us,
while the captain, lolling back in the stern
sheets, cool, calm, triumphant, watched the
struggle which could only end in one way,
and putting out blue clouds of smoke from
his short pipe.
And not far away the mate smokedserene-
ly, and yet kept watch, until, with one tre-
mendous bound, the giant fell back and
sent a column of od-tinged water fly
ing into the air. Then we knew to GER
tainty that the royal feme was ours, for in
a moment more he rolled over on his side,
and the shout which went up to the sum-
mer sky proclaimed us conquerors; and half
an hour later we were pulling back to the
brig, dragging behind MS the motionless
form of the crazy whale.
When we cut him up we knew what allied
him. Two old irons were fostering in his
sides, and it was these that made him ugly;
and Plum Duff said that never, in all his
time, had he seen SO ugly whale the
one we killed that day.

insurgents were generally successful, but,
unlike their antagonists, they had no re-
sources of men or money to draw upon to
replace the waste of battle. The result
was inevitable.
Had the United States extended to
them recognition, as they were led to ex-
pect, the result would probably have been
success. After the capture of the Vir-
ginius and the cold-blooded shooting of
her passengers at Santiago de Cuba the
American people with one accord ex-
pected and demanded that our Govern
ment should take some positive action
that might give support to the Republi-
can cause in Cuba. General Quesada
made strong appeal to General Grant
for belligerent rights for the insurgents,
but the cold blood that flowed through
the piscatorial veins of the State Depart
ment at Washington received no impetus
of patriotic sympathy for a sister repub-
lie struggling into life. Neither. the wan
ton massacres of the Virginius nor the
wholesale slaughter of innocent persons
at the Villaneuva Theater and the
Louvre in Havana, for some fancied in
suit offered to the Spanish flag, although
several American citizens were among
the slain, were sufficient cause in the es-
timation of our then rulers for interpos-
ing the strong hand in aid of a new re-
public in the Western Hemisphere, and
the Cuban Republic is thing of the
past.

wRERGHaED. WRITER'S.

Napoleon I, had SO little mastery over
his pen. that his Letters from Germany to-
Josephine, were at first sight taken for
rough maps of the seat Of war. MIR.
Brooks, railroad manager, wrote to a
man living on the Central route, threat
ening to prosecute him forthwith unless
be removed a barn he had run upon the
company's property. The recipient did
not read the letter, for reading it was
impossible, but he made out the sigma
ture and arrived at the conclusion that
the manager had favored him with free
pass along the line. As such he used ID
for couple of years, no conductor on the
route being able to dispute his reading
of the document. H. W. Beecher can
hardly be considered a model scribe,
seeing that one of his daughters owned
that her three guiding rules in copying
his manuscript were, to remember that
if letter was dotted it was not an !; if a
letter was crossed it was not a {; and if a
word began with capital it did not
begin a sentence.

CHAM, THE FRENCH CARHCA.
TURISE.

The greatest caricaturist in France Ia
the C6mte Amadee de Noe, better known
as Cham. He was born in 1919, and Of
most aristocratic lineage, for his father,
the Comte de Noe, was peer of France.
His mother was, however, English; and
young Amadee, having been brought up
entirely by her, acquired a British &C.
cent, which he retains to this day. Very
tall, thin, and upright, serupulously cor
rect and English in his attire, of manner
externally cold and polished, he thorough
" realizes the Partisan idea of the Lon-
doner; the more 30 as, like the sailor in
Gilbert's ballad. he never laughs and he
never smiles, though he is one of the
most practical jokers in existence. On an
occasion, going into restaurant, where
he was unknown, he settled into corner
seat which happened to be generally re-
served for stock-broker who dined in
the house every evening. The waiter
said nothing; but the stock-broker, COM
ing in, felt wroth at the usurpation,
and was about to complain of it, when he
recognized the familiar features of the
caricaturist. He thought he would have
IA Joke at the expense of Cham, and,call-
ing the landlord aside,, asked him If he
knew who was that tai, thin, most solemn
stranger. No; the landlord had not seen
him before. "Ah-weH, then, l advise
YOU to order him out as quickly as possl- j."
BILE. else he will scare away all your other
customers, whispered the stock-broker.
cit is Heidenrich, the executioner.' The
landlord gave jump; but without an,
instant's lost of time walked up to Cham,
and begged him to depart, adding that
he would not ask him to pay for what ne
had eaten, and would, indeed, not con-
sent to touch his money at any price.
Cham g features betrayed not thu slight
est surprise at this communication. May
I ask who revealed to you that | am the
headsman ?" he said in his gravest tones
"Is it that gentleman yonder?' "Ah,>
quite So" answered Cham, imperturba-
bly,; he ought to know me, for fiogg-
ed and branded him at Toulon not two
years ago." 1t is alleged that the stock
broker recorded VOW never to play
tricks on Cham again, and similar reso-
lutions are generally made by those who
measure with the nimbls caricaturist.

A war correspondent of the Parin Figaro
tells remarkable story. He declares that
some time ago the Russian Government or
dered large quantity of shells from an
English ammunition manufacturer, and
paid a specially high price on the condition
that they should be badly made-so as not
to burst, that, the order completed, the
Russians made the shells present to the
manufacturer, with the stipulation that he
should sell them to The Turks; that he did
SO sell them, and that these identical shells
are now being used by the Turks against
the Russians, and, Of course, are quite
harmless. If this were true it would be
cited in all coming time as evidence Of the
proverbial cunning of the Tartar.

he Up and Doings

There is no place for idle men
In such world as this is,
For who single talent hides
The ten-fold increase misses:
With busy hard and active brain,
Our strength we are renewing,
And If aught worthy we'd achieve
We must be up and doing.
We wait IA vain for fortunes purse
To I'LL our lap with treasure,
And lose our interest on the notes
We sacrifice to pleasure.
In misery and poverty
Our folly Wen be rueing,
So while the golden momeItsI last
We'd best be up and doing.
A holiday once in a while
Adds strength unto endeavor,
But who would prize jubilee
That lasted on forever
So If we have any work to do
And who can do without 1t >
We never will accomplish much
Unless we set about it.
There is no room for idle men
In this great hive Of labor,
Where each duty owes himself
A duty owes his neighbor;
Beneath your feet, within your hea
The soil must have renewing
So from your lethargy awake,
To-day be up and doing.
Old age is coming on apace
How swift the hours are flying,
And soon beneath the churchyard ston,
At rest you will be lying;
Live while you live; each noble ain
Attentively pursuing;
For If you would to honor rise
You must be up and doing
