GERMANY seems about to relapse into bar
barism. There is a growing spirit of persc-
cution towards the Jews rife in that country
and 1t is said that Bismarck not only winks
at it, but secretly urges il on. The st Joseph
Gazette, alluding TO this matter says: The
more or less anti Hebrew agitation in Ger.
many is as shameful as it is unappreciative.
The persecution of the Hebrews, in any sense
of the word, belongs to the dark ages and to
uncivilized people. In fact the advance
ment and political health of q government
can be pretty accurately measured by its
treatment of the scattered nation" The
government that undertakes to hamper or 10
slight them in any way places itself in the
category of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt.
History has proven, beyond dispute, that
they are the most talented race of men in
the world, and they make good citizens of
any liberal government. In England, the
most aristocratic of European lands, He
brew is the leading political and literary
spirit of one-half of the realm. In France,
a Hebrew is the richest Of men, and in an
other is among the foremost diplomats of
the world In Germany some of the most
glorious achievements of the marvellous
scholarship of the worlds greatest seats of
learning have been wrought out by Hebrews.
For puny government, whose machinery
and temper are a disgrace TO the great peo-
pie upon whom it is inflicted, to prosecute
this race to which it and the world owe so
much, is stupid absurdlty. The great
northern empire of Europe has some things
to learn yet.

The. Lake Shore, Michigan Southern
railroad, in view of the preca.
riousness of railroad travel in the
winter season, has huug up in plain
view in every passenger car in use on its line
an axe, handsOw, sledge.hammer and
four rubber buckets Thse implements are
designed for use by the passengers in case of
an accident in case they should get iammed
up in = car and not be able to get out. If
the passengers in the cars al the tine Of the
terrible Ashtabula, Ohio, disaster, had had
an axe, sledge.hammer and saw, they could
have freed themselves from the cars, the
doors of.which could not be opened, but as
they could not get out great many who
were not hurt at all, were roasted to death in
the burning wreck, thus adding TO the hor-
r0rs Of the occasion.

BaHled Curiosity.

Miss j was Oh her way south to
spend the winter with some relatives.
Her friends Mr.. and Mrs. H were
her travelling companions as far as Colds
borough, where they separated, Miss
j having about hundred miles
more of railroading to do alone, as a tele-
gram received Mt Golds5orough stated
that her expected escort could not meet
her there. AS usual, the passengers on
the branch road were few, and Miss
j was the only lady on the train.
The conductor was an ex-confederate
captain-a peculiar characteristic of
southern roads. He was native of the
town to which Miss j was ticketed,
and was very anxious to find out who
his fair passenger was. His rather
officious offers to assist her in finding her
friends when she should reach her desti-
nation were rather coldly refused. He
finally got desperate, and appealed to IN
ancient gentleman in the Car "a friend of
his) to assist him. Presently the old
gentleman crossed the car, took seat
Immediately behind our fair traveller, and
addressing her very politely, said: "My
friend Captain P is very anxious to
know who you are"
Looking up from the pages of her
novel, Miss j said: "You didn't tell
him, did you?"
He was so thoroughly taken aback
that it was some moments before he re-
covered himself sufficiently to stammer,
"N-no."
"Thank you," said Miss j, CRATE
fully, and cody resumed her reading.

tired to the smoking-car, and our traveller
was ANNOYED no more.

civil service but without invading the authority
or necessary discretion of the executive congress
should devise q method that will determine
the tenure Of Office and greatly reduce the I'M
certainty which makes that service 30 uncer-
tain and unsatisfactory. Without depriving
any officer of his rights as citizen the govern
ment should require him to discharge all his
official duty with intelligence, efficiency and
faithfnlness. To select wisely from our vast
population those who are best fitted for the
many offices to be filed requires an acquain-
lance far beyond the range Of any one man.
The executive should therefore seek and receive
the information and assistance Of those whose
knowledge Of the communities in which the du-
ties are to be performed best qualities them to
aid them in making the wisest choice.
The doctrines announced by the Chicago con-
vention are not the temporary devices Of a
party to attract votes and carry an election.
They are deliberate convictions. resulting from
a careful study OF the spirit Of our institutions
the events Of our history and the best impulses
of our people. In my judgment these principles
should control the legislation and administration
of the government. In any event, they will
guide my conduct until experience points bet
Ter way. If elected, it will be my purpose to
enforce strict obedience TO the constitution and
the laws, and to promote, M best may, the i'll
terest and honor OF the whole country, relying
for support upon the wisdom Of congress, the
intelligence and patriotism of the people, and
the favor of God.

How the AraucanOs Live.

The dwelling of the Araucano is round
in shape, with conical roof, the centre
of which has an opening for the escape
of smoke. The size is in proportion to
the family occupants. 1t is made of up
right posts planted in the ground, and
horizontal poles are fastened all around,
leaving narrow place for the hide door
way. Over the poles are tied, one hang
ing down over the other, punches Of
dried grass or straw to keep out the rain
and wind. Some of the ciciques are said
to possess Us many as nine wives, who
sleep upon dried hides spread upon the
floor, the rest Of the family occupying
the spare space, the feet toward the
middle of the room, where fire is kept
up during wet or cold weather. Men
and women bathe every morning ut day
break in the rivers or creeks, and at the
trading posts it is said that the women
are very clearly in their cooking, using
wooden spoons in place of their hands.
When not engaged in war or hunting
expeditions they delight in stretching
out Mt full length on the ground in the
hot rays of the sun. The women do the
outdoor work, the planting and gather
ing of crops, and attend to indoor work
as well. Their cows supply the princi-
pal wants of the family, and are taken
great care of. The husbands are kind
to their wives, to all appearances, and
the traders say that very seldom does u
Quarrel take place among the women.

yet not require special preparation Of
the land are many. L know a farmer
who, after tho last hoeing Of his potatoes,
scatters the seeds thinly along the rows,
and when the potatoes are dug the dirt
is pulled back into the last hill, and the
tilrnips are not disturbed. The fine soil
that works down about them rather helps
than Injuries them, and big crop of tur-
nips usually results. Sowing among the
corn is another not Objectionable method,
for the trlrnips will not draw very much
upon the soil until after the corn is cut
up, and the after crop will prove a far
more profitable one than planting pump
kins among the corn and far less injur-
ious TO the development Of the ears.
Among root crops, rutabagas hold a
favorable position, but cannot be sown
broadcast with any certainty; and if labor
liz to be taken into account, the turnip liz
the crop requiring the least labor. With
the increased attention TO its cultivation,
there has come into notice score of new
varieties, and in addition to the old
familiar names, we hear of the new
White Egg, Golden Ball, etc., each ex-
cellent, but will he long while in
superseding tho Early Dutch Purple
Top, Strip Leaf, and for more southern
attitudes, the Long White holds more
conspicuous place, with no real rival.
Ii the turnip is to he fed to stock, it is
not necessary to cut off the tops, especial
ly if You have root cellar where a low,
even temperature can be kept, and the
green relish of the leaves together with
the bulb will cause them to be eagerly
devourcd. With turnips, feed tops and
all to sheep, with small addition Of
green, either oats or corn, the amount Of
hay required for flock of sheep will be
very small. Ii our farmers would make
up their minds to give this root a trial,
their superior feeding qualities would
meet with prompt recognition.-John
ZYjp az Ohio Farmer.

one or two seasons very picturesque and
extraordinary. Confined to the island of
Appledore by her mothers health, the
whole family moved into the great dining
hall, which is capable of seating many
hundred people. Here four huge stoves
were erected, and the many windows on
one side of tie room were lined with
plants. The lower end Of the place was
assigned to kitchen aud dairy uses, in
the care of three or four yellow-tressed
Norwegian maids; another side had the
desks and bookcase of her brothers; the
upper corner had the easel, table, deyen::
