THE PRUDENT JEW.
Burlington Hawkeye.

There was certain gentleman, mer
chant, that lived in Mobile by the name OF
Buel. Mr. Buel generally went TO New
York City at least twice u year to lay in
goods--thls was before "drummers" came
into fashion. Mr.. Buel had often mention.
ed Chatham street as being famous for Jew
clothing stores, and that they sold very
'cheap for cash. At one time when Mr.
Buel was in the city, he concluded TO 60
down on Chatham street and buy him a su
of clothes. So down he goes on Chatham
street and buys him suit which proved to
be well made and good cloth, and in fact a
good bargain. So the next time Mr.. Buel
went back to New York he decided TO 90
down on Chatham street and get suit for
his two sons.
AS Mr.. Buel was passing down along
Chatham street he was accosted by Jew
who was standing in front of his store
with the salutation Of come in and | sell
you some tings scheap." When the follow
ing dialogue took place:
Mr. B.-No, tins is not the place l am
looking for. ! came down here on this
street the last time l was in the city and
bought me suit of clothes, and ! want to
go to the same place and get a suit for each
of my two sons.
Jew-Ise sell you dem berry clothes

capital of Scotland will be full of pregnant

will be as full of suggestions as the wild

HOW GIRL BABIES ARE DISPOSED
OF IN CHINA.
Chicago Tribune.

Moung Edwin,a Burmese educated in this
country for missionary work, lectured in
Baltimore last week. Speaking Of the de-
plorable condition Of women in the east,
owing mainly to peculiar religious condi-
tons, he said;
Girls in China are believed to have no
souls, and to kill them is not murder, and
therefore not to be punished. When par
ents are too poor to support the girl chill
dren they are disposed of in the following
manner; At regular intervals an appointed
officer goes through a village and collects
from poor parents all the girl children they
cannot care for, when they are about eight
days old He has two large baskets at
tached to the end Of bamboo pole and
sung over his shoulder. Six infants are
placed in each basket, and he carries them
to some neigh5oring village and exposes
them for sale. Mothers who desire to raise
wives for their sons buy such as they may
select. The others are taken to the govern
ment asylums, OF which there are many all
through the country. If there is room
they are taken in, if not they are drowned.
