The Jews in Palestine.

A correspondent Of the Manchester
(England) Guagdiaa writes from ,lafk
in contradiction Of the statement which
has been widely made that The popula
ton of Palestine has more thsn doubled
during the past len Year, by the incOm-
ing of the Jews. Inst cad % an immi
grafton of ], 200, 600 Jews, as would be
necessary if the statement was true, only
about five thousand Jews have settled
in the country in the ten years. Nearly

tion is, In fact, ga pauper infux"-peO-
pie who expect to live in idleness on the
generosity.Of their co-religionistsa abroad.
The correspondent admits that a num-

side the walls of the city by both Jews
and Christians, following The example
of the Russian aud Protestant missions,
which FIRST began TO do so but he adds
that thess houses, being built over

How /" Tom Jones y Wa. Sold.
From GalaEnani.l

ltrom GalaSnaHl.I
We are told of FieIding's "Tom
JONES'" that when the work was COM
pleted, the author being at the time
hard pressed for money, took it to q
Becond-rate publisher, with the view of
selling it for what it would fetch st the
moment. He left it with the bookseller,
and called upon him next day for his
decision. The publisher hesitated, and
requested another day for consideration,
and at parting Fielding offered him the
manuscript for G25. On his way home
Fielding met Thomson, the poet, whom
he told of the negotiation for the sale of
the manuscript; when Thomson, know
ing the high merit of the work, conjured
him to be off the, bargain, and offered to
find better purchaser. Next morning,
Fielding hastened to his appointment
with as much apprehension lest the
bookseller should keep to his bargain as
he had felt the day before lest he should
altogether decline it. To the authors
great Joy, the ignorant traficker in
literature declined and returned the
manuscript to Fielding.
He next set off with light heart to
his friend Thomson; and the novelist
and the poet then went to Andrew Mil
lar, the great publisher Of that day.
Millar, as was his practicewith works of
light reading, handed the manuscript to
his wife, who, having read it, advised
him by no means to let it slip through
his fingers. Millar now invited the two
friends to meet him at a coffee house in
the Strand, where, after dinner, the
bookseller, with great caution, offered
Fielding 4200 for the manuscript. The
novelist was amazed at the largeness of
the offer. "Then, my good SIR, said
be, recovering himself from this un.
expected stroke of good fortune, :" give
me your hand--the book is yours; and
waiter" continued he, "bring couple
bottles of your best port" Before Mill
lar died he had cleared 918,OOO by
"TOm Jones'" out of which he generously
made Fielding various presents to the
amount of 92,0OO; and when he died he
bequeathed a handsome legacy to each
Of Flelding's sons. .E 81

A Boy with a Monkeys Head.

The Industrial Home on South Third
street, Brooklyn, for orphans, from boy
hood up to II wears of age, is q most in
teresting place to visit. 1t contains
children of every imaginable character,
yet, their behavior Is so good that one
can scarcely realize that many of them
were taken from the lowest slums of the
city.a-A few weeks ago a most remark
able creature in the shape of a boy,
about 6 years of age, was admitted to
the institution. His head and the gen
eral contour Of his features resembles a
monkeys, and his antics were the sur
prise and delight of the other children
of the Home, and a source of great an
nOyance to the lady who had him in
charge. He would stand on his head,
twist his body into al. sorts of contor-
tions and gesticulate with his arms in a
most com zeal manner. He was particu-
larIy fond of peanuts, and would crack
them with his teeth like a monkey and
pick out the meats rapidly. Then he
would throw his head back, open his
mouth, and toss them in and crunch
them loudly.
Whenever a new inmate arrives he Is
subjected to a thorough bath. There
fore the first process is the dOfing of his
clothes But to this operation the boy
would notsubmit, declaring that he had
never been undressed before. After a
great deal Of eOaxing, he yielded, and
when he found himself cleaned he
seemed to be uncomfortable. He wrig-
gled in his nightgown nervously, and
said he wanted to go to bed in his
clothes. rg.sr fsusessttF
