The London Jewish WorM prints
some new and interesting facts in con-
nection with the family end history of
Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Baconsheld.
1t sets at rest, once for all, the ques-
tiOn as to whether Disraeli was ever
baptized. 1t seems that he was ac-
tually baptized in the city of London
on July 81, 1917. According to one
authority, it was the poet Rogers who
persuaded him to submit to the Chris
tian RTE; according to others, it was a
Mrs. Ellis, the wife of literary man Of
some repute, who took advantage OF the
temporary absence of his father to lead
the thirteen year old boy to the
baptismal font. However this may be,
there is still to be seen on the parish
register Of st. Andrews Holborn, an
entry certifying that con the last day
of July, 1917 Benjamin, son of Isaac
D'lsraeli, gentleman, and Maria, his
wife, residing in Kings Road, was
baptized by J. Thimbleby." Three
years later young Disraeli was an arti-
Gle clerk with the firm Of Swain q Co.,
solicitors, in Frederick's place, Old
Jewry, firm still in existence at the
same place under the name of Naples,
Teesdale q Co. He left the Old Jewry
to write " Vivian Gray" and, as he
told Lord Melbourne, "to become Pre-
mier of England" His place with the
firm of Swain & Co. was filled by mis-
brother Ralph, who is his only living
relative, and who is now chief Clerk to
Sir George Jessel, Master of the Roll.
Sir George is an Orthodox jew and a
pillar of the Anglo-Jewish A Synagogues.
Our London contemporary also refers
to an uncle of Lord Beaconsiield, also a
Mr.. Benjamin Disraeli, who, in the
early part If the century, kept lottery
office in Dublin, and was probably
buried in the cemetery of the Dublin
Jewish Congregation. The fruit and
colonial trade commission house founded
in London by Benjamin Disraeli, the
grandfather Of Lord Beaconsfeld, still
exists, though it has passed into Other
hands, in Mincing Lane, +. G..

The Sea-Serpent Explained.

If you have space for the following,
it is so confrmatory of DIR. Drew's ex-
perience of an Opera'g lass dispelling
fond cOnceits" concerning a sea-ser-
pent, that it may be worth recording
One morning in October, 1869, ! was
standing amid small group of passen.
gers on the deck of the ill-fated 2. and
o, steamship Rangoon, then steaming
up the Straits of Malacca to Singapore.
We were just within sight of the coast
of Malacca, and quite out OF sight, so
far as | remember, of Sumatra. One of
the party suddenly pointed out an OBJ
ject on the port-bow, perhaps half mile
off, and drew from Us the simultaneous
exclamation of "The sea-serpentn And
there it was, to the naked eye, genu-
inc serpent, speeding through the sea,
with its head raised on a slender curved
neck, now almost buried in the water,
and anon reared just above its surface.
There was the mane and there were the
well-known undulating coils stretching
yards behind. But for an Opera-glass,
probably all our party on board the
RangoOn would have been personal
witnesses to the existence of great sea-
serpent, but, alas for romance! One
glance through the lenses and the rep
tile was resolved into bamboo, root
upwards, anchored in some manner to
the bottom--a "snag," in fact. Swayed
up and down by the rapid current, a
serie, of waves undulated beyond it,
bearing on their crests dark-cOlOred
weeds or grass that had been caught by
the bamboo stem Ignorance Of the
shallowness of the straits so far from
land, and of the swiftness of the current,
no doubt led us to our first hasty con-
clusion; but the story. with Mr.. Drew's,
shows how prone the human mind is to
accept the marvellous, and how careful
we should be in forming judgments
even on the evidence of our senses.

Hints About Water.

No water that has stood in open yes.
sells during the night should be used for
drinking and cooking. by exposure to
the air it has lost its aeration," and
has absorbed many OF the dust germs
floating in the apartment. If cOnven-
fence requires water to be kept in
vessels for several hours before
use, it should be covered unless the
vessels are tight. Wherever practical,
all distributing reservoirs should be cov-
cred. Filtering alway adds to the
purify of water. Drinking water should
not be taken from lakes and rivers on a
low level. Surface water, or water in
lakes, pools, or rivers which receive the
surface wash, should be avoided as
much rs possible. Do not drink much
water at a time. More than two tum-
blers full should not be taken at a meal.
Do not drink between meals unless 10
ouench thirst as excess of water wea kens
the gastric juice and eyerworks the
kidneys. Excessive potation-, whether
of water or other fluid, relax the
stomach, impairs its secretions, and
paralyze its movements. BY drinking
little at time all injury is avoided.

She's ever so much sweeter,
Just n modest little flower, not intended Tor dis

So bright she Ia and merry,
You will not think II very
Strange that the troubled heart for such a choery

My favorite is, c'eary;
Indeed, love her dearly,
And Ohd that Language Is too poor In which to
speak her praise,
My love need not stihe,
with me she does not trinc,
Or b'i me in the Lcthean wave my aspirations
drown.
Ah no; my precious jewel
Would never he so cruel,
For my little country cousin is the sweetest wife
in town.

Northern New York Bear Stories.


Bears and squirrels are more plenty
this season than they have been for many
years past; and from this fact it is
adduced that an early and severe winter
is before us. Those who have made obser-
vations in nature say that the near
approach of those animals to the dwell
ing of man, in early fall, is an almost in
fallible sign. In the neighborhood of
Norwood they are more numerous than
ever before, says the Register, and al
most every farmer in the township of
hummer has seen bear. One followed
farmer who had honey in his buggy
some distance, and even approached the
door of the house.
lParis IN. Y. y Mirror.
Monday afternoon Miss Cora Harter
saw black bear crossing a lot near her
fathers residence, and Immediately
communicated the fact to the house
hold. Her father and brother gathered
together their munitions of war, con-
sisting Of two shot guns, and sending
Cora to summon the neighbors' assist
ance, were soon joined by George and
Frank Thayer, when all gave chase to
his bearship. They soon had him treed,
and Frank blazed away with an old
howitzer" and filled the bears mouth
with buckshot, but he merely shook his
head at the introduction. He then re-
ceived like dose from one of the party
in the back which caused him to seek
another tree. They followed him up
and kept pouring shot into his carcass
until he showed signs of fatigue, and
turning partly round to the hunters, as
if to appeal for mercy, he inadvertently
lifted a forepaw. Frank took advan-
tage of the position and planted broad
side from his blunderbuss, which brought
bruin" tograss. They then fell upon
him and belabored him with clubs until
he died. His weight was one hundred
and eleven pounds-the half pound we
allow for the lead that had lodged in
his body. This is the fourth bear that
has been seen in this section within a
short time, end we may hear of other
captures ere 'ong.
