How MANY Jews There Are.

IT is stated that the total number of
the Hebrew race to-day is about what
it was in the days OF King Dsvid-be-
tween 100000 and 100000. There
are in Europe, according to the latest
statistical information, about 100000;
in Asia, 10000; in Africa, over 10000;
in America, from 100000 to 1,500, 900.
More than half of the European Jews
-2,621, ,OOO-reside in Russia; 1875, 900
in Austria, of whom $4,000 in the
Polish province of Gaicia; $4,000 in
Germany-61, 900 in the Polish prov
ince of Posen; Roumania is credited
with 274, 900, and Turkey with 100, 900.
There are 10000 in Holland, 10000 in
England, $4,000 in France, $4,000 in
Italy; Spain and Portugal have be-
1000 and 1000; 1900 in Sweden,
twenty-five in Norway. Nothing is
said about Denmark or Switzerland.
The number of Jewish residents in
Berlin is given at 45,000-nearly as
many as in the whole Of France, and
more than in Italy, Spain, Portugal and
the Scandinavian peninsula altogether.
The majority of the African Jews live
in the province of Algiers. But they
are to be found in Abyssinia and all
along the north coast, and even in the
Saharan oases, frequently acting as in
termediaries between the Mohammedani
and Christians. OF the Asiatic Jews
| 10000 are assigned to India and 25,00t
to Palestine. The population of Jeru
salem is given as 1000 Mohammedans
5000 Christians and 13, 500 Jews. Thes'
last are classified as German. Spanisl

A Shot at an Incoming Duck.

To stop an incomer," raise the gun
carefully in the line of his fight; move
quickly ahead of the duck. when you
Judge him to be in range; and, when
you lose sight of head and bill over
your gun, pull instantly. The flight of
duck is ordinarily at the rate of about
sixty miles an hour; but, when acceler-
ated by fear, or brisk wind, or both,
it is nearly double, and must be expert
mented upon to be fully appreciated.
To become good "pass shot" some Of
the requisites are: to be able to judge
distances quickly and accurately; to be
able to cover well the moving bird, and
not to check the motion of the gun at
the moment of discharge. Because it
is necessary for most men to hold some
distance ahead of swiftly flying game in
close range, it does not follow that this
is the hest thing to do; it shows,
rather, that such one is in the habit of
checking or arresting entirely the mo-
ton of his piece as his finger presses
the trigger. Most sportsmen finch
at that supreme moment, and, unless
the habit is entirely overcome, they
cannot expect ever to become good
wing shots. The "choke boring" of
guns, in limited use long ago, has only
very recently come into favor and
rather more general use. Upon the
pass or elsewhere, it adds at least one
fourth more distance to the killing
range of the gun. This is done by the
effect it has upon the "pattern made
by the shot, causing the gun to throw q
greater number of shot pellets into 6
given circle than can be done by the
cylinder, or straight bore. One BARRE
of the duck-hunter's gun should surely
be bored in this smanner.-C a thinner.

The Heat Of the Sun.

Since astronomers have computed
with scientific accuracy the vast amount
of heat radiated into space by the sun,
they have been puzzled to account for
its unfailing supply. Whatever be the
nature of the heat, or however boundless
the capacity of the sun to furnish it,
exhaustion is inevitable. unless sources
of supply exist outside of the sun.
As there has been no perceptible
diminution of heat since the time of the
Babylonian and Greek astronomers, it
is evident that such sources of supply
must exist, and it is the task of science
to find them out.
Prof. Peirce, OF Harvard University,
who stands at the head of American
mathematicians, has no doubt that me-
teorites are an unfailing fountain Of
supply. He thinks our system is crowd
ed with them; that they are perpetually
falling upon the suns surface, and the
arrested motion is converted into heat.
The theory is plausible, and in har-
mony with what we know of the vast
number of meteorites that have their
orbits within our system, as shown by
the meteoric showers of August and
November. But it would seem that
there must be a slow accretion in the
mass of the sun in the course of cent
uries, disturbing the order of the sys-
tenn by the inevitable laws of gravity
If there is substance enough in the
meteorites to develop heat, there must
be substance enough to increase weight

The Moment Of Fear.

Bonaparte lost four aids-de-camp
during the short time he was in Egypt.
One of them, Croisier, appearing to
Napoleon to lack the proper degree OF
boldness at the proper moment, he
burst out against him in one of his vio-
lent and humiliating attacks of abuse
and contempt. The word coward es-
capped him; Croisier determined not to
survive it; he sought death on several
occasions, but did not succeed till the
siege of Acre. He was in attendance
on Napoleon in the trenches there,
when such sharp lookout was kept by
the garrison that if an elbow or feather
showed itself above or beside them it
was Immediately grazed by bullet.
Oroisier watched his opportunity and
jumped upon the platform. "Come
down, I command you !" cried Napoleon,
in voice of thunder; but it was too
late; the victim of his severity fell at
his feet. Murat, the chivalrous Drawer
of all danger, had also his moment OF
fear, which lost him the countenanoe
of his General until displeasure could
no longer resist the brilliancy of Lis
achievements. 1t was at the siege OF
Mantua, in the first italian campaign,
that Murat was ordered to charge body
of troops that were making sortie
from the garrison. He hesitat ed
and, in his confusion, declared himself
wounded. He was removed from the
presence of the General and in every
way discountenanced. In Egypt be
was sent out on the most distant and
dangerous services; in short, he more
than reconquered his character before
the battle of Aboukir, on which coca
sion Napoleon himself was obliged te
declare he was superb. The brave
Marshal Lannes one day severely rep
rimanded Colonel who had punished
a young officer for a moment of fear
"That man" said he, @is worse than {
poltroon who pretends he never knows

Improving Opportunities:

The old proverb "Where there's
will there's way" finds full illustra-
ton in the life Of many eminent Amer
leans. Such men as Henry Clay, Abra-
ham Lincoln and many others have
risen from very humble station to intel
lectual greatness by resolute purpose
to surmount difficulties. One well ac-
quainted with the early life of ex-Goy.
George 8. Boutwell,, Of Massachusetts,,
Secretary Of the Treasury under Gen.
Grant, gives an interesting sketch of
his early years:
Hehad little education in the schools,
being obliged TO support himself from
the age Of 13. While clerk at Groton
he found in the second story Of the
store an old but choice library. This
was q mine of wealth to the boy. He
read during the day, when there were
no customers. But at 8, when the store
closed, he retired to the library and
read till drowsiness came on. Then he
took little physical exercise to rouse
himself. When he felt sleepy again he
plunged his head into pail Of water
and, under this new stimulus, was able
to study till q late hour. In this way
he acquired valuable knowledge and
discipline, and prepared himself for q
successful career. Self-educated men
prize the opportunities which young
men trained In the schools often throw
away,

The Bear at the Altar.

A singular anecdote is related by the
Rev. J. Bowden, in connection with the
plague in Norway. At the beginning
of the fourteenth century it attacked
the district of Valders with such Sc
verify as to entirely depopulate the
country for miles round. Abut 200 years
afterward peasant was one day hunt
ing bear in that part of the country.
Having discharged an arrow at the ami
NAL, it missed its mark, but, flying on
ward, struck against something which
gave back ringing sound. Curious to
discover what was the cause of the
strange circumstance, the hunter
searched and found a church hidden
among the trees. The arrow had struck
against the bed of the clock in the
church steeple. This was the ancient
church of Hadel which had stood un-
known since the visitation of the plague,
and in the lapse of time a large forest
had grown up end concealed the sacred
building from the eyes of men. The
most singular part of the story is, that
the hunter entered the church and slew
the bear at the altar, where it had taken
refage. The bears skin is still pre-
served in the vestry of the church.

The Songs Of Scotland.

There is very general impression,
especially in England, that Burns Gre
ated Scottish song, and that all that is
valuable in it is his work. Instead of
saying that Burns created Scottish
song, it would be more true to say Scot.
tish song created Burns, and that in
him it eliminated. He was born at a
happy hour for national songster, with
great background of song centuries
old behind him, and breathing from his
childhood very atmosphere of melody.
From the earliest times the Scotch have
been song-loying people, meaning by
song both the tunes, or airs, and words.
This is not the side which the Scotch
man turns to the world, when he goes
abroad into it to push his fortune. We
all know the character that passes cur
rent as that of the typical Scot-sandy-
haired, hard featured, clannish to his Z
couptrymen, shrewd, cautious, self
seeking, self-reliant, persevering, un-
sympathetic to strangers, difficult to
drive bargain with, impossible to cir
cumvent. The last thing a stranger
would credit him with would be the
love of song. Yet when that hard, cal
culating, trader has retired from the
change or the market-place to his own
freside, perhaps the things he loves
best, almost as much as his dividends,
will be those simple national melodies
he has known from his childhood. Till
very recent time thewhole air of Scot
land, among the country people, wasre-
dolent of song. You heard the milk
maid singing some old chant, as she
MIXED the COWS in field or byre; the
housewife went about her work, or span
at her wheel, with lit upon her lips. In
the Highland glen you might hear some
solitary reaper singing. like her whom
Wordsworth has immortalized; !; in the
lowland harvest field, now one, now
another, of the reapers taking up an old
world melody, and then the whole band
breaking out into. some well-known
chorus. The plowman, too, in winter,
as he turned over the lea burrows, be-
guiled the time by humming or whist
ling a tune; even the weaver. as he
clashed his shuttle between the threads,
mellowed the harsh sound with song.
In former days song was the great
amusement of the peasantry, as they of
q winter night met for hanlet-gather-
ing by each others fresides Thiswast the
usage in Scotland for centuries, aud ! am

Madagascar.

Although Madagascar is known to be
the third-largest island ii the world, its
actual size and extent is not very gen.
orally understood. It is easy to see
how misconception on this point arises,
for in maps the island is usually seen
only in connection with Africa, and
that great continent is so large that it
dwarfs by comparison with itself every.
thing in its near neighborhood, SO that
the really-large island sheltering under
its southeastern side appears but an in
considerable appendage to Its vast
neighbor. If, however, we take good
sized map of Madagascar, and put by
its side the outline, to the same scale,
of another country with whose dimen-
sions we are familiar, such, for instance,
as England, we begin to realize how
important an island it is as regards
size, being nearly 1000 miles long by
about $50 in average breadth, so that 1t
is nearly four times as large as England
and Wales.-NatltTe.

.Put On Petticoats l''

The Indian custom is to butcher
prisoners taken in battle. Such, how
ever, was not the practice OF Tecumseh,
the great chief WHO, as an ally of the
British, fought against us in the war of
1872. He hated the Americans, but
he fought a. warrior. and not as
Thug.
In 1918, Col. Dudley, while attempt
ing to relieve Fort Meigs, where Gen.
Harrison was besieged by British and
Indians. was defeated with great slaugh-
ter. AS usual, the Indians began kill
ing the American prisoners. Gen.
Proctor, the British commander, looked
coolly on and made no effort to restrain
them.
Suddenly voice sounded like clap
of thunder, and Tecumseh, mounted ON
q foaming horse, dashed among the
butchers. Two Indians were In the
act of killing prisoner. Springing
from his horse, Tecumseh seized one
Indian by the throat and the other
by the breast and threw them to the
ground.
Drawing tomahawk and scalping-
knife. he dared any Indian to touch
another prisoner, A chief disobeyed, !,
and Tecumseh Drained him with his
tomahawk. The Indians sulienly de-
Eisted.
"What will become Of my Indiansa'
he exclaimed. Then. turning to Proc.

massacre.
