A QUARTER OF A MILLION.
Not 2 Single Pauper Among the
 .t.s.+. Jews.


 From the Philadelphia Rccord.l
 For nearly four years past MT. William Hackenburg of this city, one of the most prominent Hebrews of the country, has been engaged in the preparation of statistical rec ord of Jews and Judaism in the United States. This work, which ;s intended to form q permanent record of American Israelites, is approach ing completion and wall shortly be in the printers hands. Not one of the least discoveriss made is that there is not believed to be pauper Jew in the United States. Every Hebrew who is able to work finds something for his or her hands to do, while the sick or infirm are abun dantly cared for by the local socie- ties. A Jew is never permitted to seek assistance in sickness from any denomination or charity outside of it's own faith.
 It is calculated that there arc now fully quarter of million of Jews scattered over the United States. They have fourteen public institu- tions under their exclusive control, although some of these are not sec tarian in their benefits. There are fifteen newspapers and magazines devoted to the cause of Judaism and published and edited by Jews. They have four Jewish orders, all secret societies, having for their object the advancement of Judaism, the mutual assistance of their members and gen eral charitable objects. The value of property of all kinds owned by congregations is valued at upwards ot five millions of dollars. The old est synagogue in the country is that of Shearith Israel, of New York, which was established prior to l640.

The Jetties and the Grain Trade.

We are informed that Captain Eads goes to Europe for the purpose of obtaining the cooperation of the steamship companies in the erection of very large grain elevator at Eadsport, where the Mississippi river ietties are. If Captain Eads succeeds in his enterprise, and he seldom fails to carry out his plans, q blowwill be struck at New Orleans which will be serious and embarrass' ing. The establishment of . grain elevator and depot at Eadsport would enable grain laden barges to give the Crescent City the "go-by," and they would be discharged through the elevator directly into the bins of the ocean steamers, and New Orleans would at once sustain very heavy loss. This grain depot would be to shipping interests q saving of 200 miles steaming, four pilotages, bro kerages and variety of port charg
 es, for which New Orleans is famous. To sailing craft the saving would De very large indeed, and in a few years Eadsport would grow to be the largest shipping point in the waters of the gulf. New Orleans must be- stir herself at once in the matter. St. Louis is coming to the front.

Going Into Debt

Going in debt was very common habit few years ago. It was alto gether too common among farmers It is not so common now. Farmers have seen the evil of it. They have seen that it is much easier to get in. to debt than it IS to get out of It. Il Is like getting into quick sand Every effort to get out only sinks one deeper. The cash system is fal better. It makes one more econo' mical. It is better to deprive our selves of luxuries, than to pay toe dearly for them afterwards. Pay as you go is the true philosoher's stone It is better for buyer and better fol seller. The seller can take less prof it's, as he has no bad debts. The buyer can hold a high head for he owes no one that he can't pay.-- Rural World.

Where the Sun Never Sets.

An unusual scene for Europe that of the sun never setting, but shining through the whole night-is to be witnessed from the summit of Mount Aavax, in Finland, near Tor neo, at 66 degrees northern latitude, Every year, on June 23d, a multi tude of people of different nations visit that mountain to witness the interesting spectacle, According to the reports of the Finn journals this year, there were on Mount Aavax about 300 travellers. Three of these were Englishmen, two Frenchmen, one was Russian; there were sever al Germans, Danes and Swedes, and the rest were Films, The govern ment of Finland is now erecting on Mount Aayax a hotel for the ac- commodation of traYelers.--New York Sun.

What Farmers Should Produce.

Farmers should look the future square in the face, and ask what promises the best returns. Of course mixed farmings is always sa- fest and should never be departed from but then there is, some main crop upon which the largest profits are expected. In one locality 1t is one thing, and in another, another thing, and it requires enterprise and good judgment to determine what is most profitable to throw the largest amount of energy into. Distance from market make the production of some crops unprofitable, as the trans portation expenses eat up too much of the receipts. From present indi cations, the raising of cattle and sheep and hogs, and horses. and mules, will bring the surest and largest returns for those residing some distance from market. The exportation of al, animals is largely on the increaae. They can be raised and transported to European mar kets, and sold at less price than it cost to raise them there. This is owing to our cheap lands, and our great pasturage advantages. But whatever stock the farmer raises should be the best. The scrubs should be severely let alone. The best breeds will bring the best pro fits.--Rural World. ~

The End oi the World.

A lecture delivered at the Berlin University some three months ago, Iby Prof. Dubois Raymond, bears the omlnous title, "The End of Our World" and says that every move mont upon our planet, with the cX- ception of the ebb and flood, which are caused by tue attraction of the moon, is caused by the solar heat. As, however, the sun loses every year portion of his caloric, science has lately come to the conclueion that he ylll not exist as an emitter of warmth longer than for l7,000,000 years to come. During that space of time our earth will get colder and colder in proportion as tho solar heat shall diminish. The ice will advance from the poles to the equa tor; the carth's population will grad ually recede before tho advancing glaciers; the sun will become less luminous, until he will present the appearance of a dark red bail, and finally ice will annihilate all vitality on our planet.

She Couldn't DO It.

The Cincinnati Commercial pre- tends to have the following dispatch from Wilmington, Ohio:
 The lady mentioned in the dis patches of q recent Sundays Com mercial as having entered into an agreement with her husband to hold her tongue ten minutes in each quarter hour for one thousand one hundred and thirteen consecutive hours. failed in her task. As she was completing her nine hundred and seventeenth quarter hour, and her packers were feeling sure. that she would win, . neighbor lady, re- turning from a shopping expedition, passed along the street in front of her window, wearing her new pur- chase, beautiful shawl. Now the lady who was holding her tongue should have frightened her grip at this supreme moment, and concen- trated her thoughts on something else than this new article of dress belonging to her neighbor; but it is said that the ruling passion is stronger even in death, and that in. grained habit is unconquerable; and those anxioms were proven in this instance, for tho tongue-holdcr, un- fortunately for herself, leaned over and whispered in the ear of a lady bystander, "What . horrid shawlp She immediately saw her mistake, but it was too late, The judges at once declared in favor of the hus. band, the crowd filed slowly out of the building, and the first match on record of stonguc-holding against time was over. One lady at least, in Wilmington, win attend church this summer ln last years bonnet. The husband is investing the ten dollars he saved in strong plug tobacco. He says he never enjoyed such peace and quietudc as during the past nlne days. And now the other married men of Wilmington arc hoping that the tongue-Eolding fever may be- come an epidemic, and strike the country with emphasis.

Quid Pro Quo.

Of course every newspaper feels under obligations to it's advertisers. The man who takes quarter column is like q first cousin, and he of the half column is closer than q brother; while he who takes a whole column not only demonstrates to the world that he is an intelligent and enter prising business man, but wins the heart and affections of the printer, and he feels that the success of his paper and his patron arc identical, But while we freely acknowledge this obligation, we wish it distinctly understood that the advertiser does not give us anything. For every cent spent in advertising the return is as direct and valuable as the re- turn from the butcher on a dry goods merchant. Take q column adver. tisement for one year and put the circulation at ,500 copies. At least three persons read every paper pub, lished. This would make 4,500 peo- pie reached weekly, and B numbers would be 240,000 in year. That number is distributed as no mer- chant in this or any other town can distribute q circular, and costs only $l00. Now let a man try to reach the same number of persons by cir culars and the cost of money alone would be at least $500, besides tho trouble and labor, worth at least $50 more. Away with such idle talk. We unhesitatingly say that every advertiser gets better return for the money paid in advertising than in any other nvestment.-Ex.

A little reIlglon IS dangerous thing. That IS well illustrated in the case of the fire eating Virginian, who, while returning from camp meeting, held out his hand to an old enemy and exclaimed: "Give me your hand, Sanders; Eye got religion, and l feel mean enough to shake hands with a dog"
 Ask q wise man to write poetry and he can manage to make fool of himself at short notice, if verses are out of his line. A dignilied Detroit Judge, to obligo little girl recently, wrote in an album: "My pen IS poor, my ink is pale, my heart it trembles like little dogs tail"
 An editors business is to write editorials, grind out poetry, sort manuscript, keep mighty big waste basket, steal matter, fight other peo, plc's battles, take white beans and apple sass for pay when he can get it, work nineteen hours out of twen- ty,four, and be damned by every body.-Josh Billings.
 Women require more sleep than men, and farmers less than those en- gagged in any other occupation; edit ors, reporters, printers and telegraph operators require no sleep at all. Lawyers can sleep all they choose, as they will thus be kept out of mischief. Clergymen are allowed twenty four hours, and to put their pensioners to sleep once q week.
 A writer on styles says: "It Els the fashion in Franco for ladies to take their tea in bonnets and gloves" !" It may be, but we prefer q teacup. Gloves make tea taste bad, and bon nets drip so. ......
 An Oswcgo woman fell out of a fourth story window the other day and the first thing she said after coming to her senses was to wish that she had had on her new silk hose instead of those old cotton stockings.
 Singular, isn't it, that when a man gives his wife q dime to buy q box of hairpins or gum ring for the baby, 1t looks about seven times as big as when he blanks it down on the bar for a littlo gin and bittors for the stomach's sake.
