DEATH OF JUDAIsM.-Professor Adler's
prophecy OF the speedy death of Judaism
caused good deal of comment among the
Hebrews of Cincinnati. DIR. Lilienthal, in
conversation with Commercial reporter,
said that if the Professor had stated that
old Judaism was on the point of death, he
"would have stated the TRUTH" "The old
ceremonies, the old petrified notions, have
given way, and reform, thorough re-
form, is the watchword of modern Judaism
and while it keeps pace with the progres
sive ideas of our age, it is not only entitled
to life, but brilliant, hopeful future is in
store for it," OF Professor Adler himself
DIR. Lilienthal said: "Adler is a scholar,
good writer and.a splended orator. But h'
is yet yonng and lacking experience. H'
is an enthusiast, very visionary in his views
and would like to begin the history OF th'
human race with his birthday"

How THE TELEPHONE Is ANNIHILATING
SPACE.-An experiment with the Edison
telephone tried between indianapolis and
Chicago one day last week shows in a strik-
ing manner the power of that instrument.
The distance between the two cities is 2l0
miles, but the operator at either end was
not only able to hear plainly what the
other said, but to distinguish words whis-
pered over the wires. During the trial it
occurred to the Indianapolis operator to
have the wires connected at the main Office
in Chicago with a private wire to the resi-
dence of friend. After "good morning "
had been exchanged, the Chicago man
asked the other when he came to town and
where he was stopping, and was astounded
| of wire.

CoYNEss ON THE QUESTION OF AGE.--The
limits between which coyness on the ques-
tion of age prevails, have at length been
nearly established. They generally begin
the twenty-first birthday and end with life
This coyness has generally been supposed
to end on the wedding day, or, failing to
reach that haven, that its vitality would be
exhausted at three-scorea eand-ten or there
about Not so, however; as the case of
Mrs. Elizabeth Rider, who died in Balti-
more last week at the well authenticated
age of ll3 years, fully attests. This maiden
had become a matron, had long passed
MISREPRESENTATION, and had for thirty-two
years remained a widow, but up to the last
she retained the shyness of twenty-five on
the subject of her age, and among her
latest requests was one that no mention
of it should be made on her tomb.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.-Chubb's clock got
out of order and began 10 strike wrong
They were all sound asleep at midnight,
when the clock suddenly struck five.
The new hired girl bounced out of bed,
and, as it is dark at five A. NJ. mt that season,
she did not preceive her mistake but went
down into the kitchen. While She was
bustliug about Chubb heard the noise. He
could distinctly hear some one moving
about and apparently packing up china.
Chubb seized his fowiinS-piece, and, going
down to the dining-room door, where he
could hear the burglars at work, he cooked
the gun, aimed it, pushed the door open
with the muzzle, and fired. Instantly Mrs.
Chubb sprang the rattle, and the front door
was burst open by two policemen. Seeing
Chubb with gun, and Il bleeding woman
on the floor, they imagined that murder
had been committed, and one of them
trotted Chubb off to the station. house
while the other remained to investigate
things. just then the clock struck six
An explanation cnsued from the girl, who
only had few bird shot in her leg, and
the policemen left to bring Chubb home
He arrived at about three, just as the clock
was striking eight. When the situation
was unfolded to him, his first action was tc
jam the but of his gun through the clock
whereupon it Immediately struck two
hundred and forty-three, and then Chubt
pitched it over the fence. He has new
clock now, and things are working better
