his wife attended the Henri Cling mass at

the church they were received with espc-

for them In front Of the altar and at the
conclusion Of the services officials escorted
them from the church, to their manifest
annoyance, calling out to the people who
clustered around the porch, "llats of, gen.

Youthful Heroisln.

A year ago, in the summer of 1880,
deed of heroism was performed by O
Young lad at Alessandria, in Piedmont,
for which he has just been rewarded in
a characteristically Sub-Alpine and
Latin manner. Some children wero
playing upon the bank of the river
Tanaro, when one of them, boy four
years old, toppled over into the stream,
and, as it Glanced, at most danger
GUS spot, where practiced swimmers
had already lost their lives. Eduardo
Pozzi a lad of twelve, who saw the
accident, determined to venture upon
the task of rescue. He knelt down,
made the sign of the cross and jumped
boldly into the raging waters. He was
seized by the torrent, but not until he
had tightly grasped the little boy.
The two were sucked under by the
waters, but rose again to the surface,
and the young hero, with great resolu-
tion and daring, forced his way into
still water, from whence a policemen
drew him to the shore. He fell down
exhausted and unconscious, but kept
firm grip upon the little fellow whom
he had saved.
The king of Italy heard of the deed,
and directed that the silver medal OF
the Order of Merit, with his kings
thanks, should be sent to the lit
tie hero. The actual bestowal of the
gift, however, was reserved to the pres
ent year, when the anniversary was
made the occasion OF a public cere-
monial. The courtyard of the Colegio
Nazionale was adorned with flowers
and banners; the municipal authorities
were convoked; the whole population
was invited to take part in the function;
and Senator Zopp fastened the medal
upon the boys breast, while the mayor
of Alessandria gave him kiss upon his
/ forehead in the name of the whole
town. When Pozzi was questioned
about his deed he said, with touching
modesty: 81 knew that if / We're
| drowned he and l would have gone into
/ Paradise together" His father, who is
a railway servant, was invited to dinner
by the prefect, and the sons Of that
functionary solemnly divided bread
and salt with the hero of the day, as a
token of perpetual alliance. The father
refused to receive a sum OF money
which had been eollected.-Lo''don

A New Specific.

Bromide of sodium is DIR. Boards
specific for sea-sickness, and the hatter-
ing encomiums he bestows upon it will
make the drug singularly attractive to
others than those about to engage in a
wrestle with Father Neptune. When
he declares that if thirty to sixty grains
are taken three times a day for three
days they produce an unconquerable
drowsiness and imperyiousness to out
side influences, he furnishes prescrip-
tion of which many a harassed and
anxious debtor will promptly avail
himself. When he has a note coming
due which he cannot pay, or expects a
dun, he will promptly dose himself with
bromide of sodium and drovsily submit
to the inevitable Detroit Free Press.

A Sermon in Rhyme.

II you have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
OF q friend-till he is dead? ?
II you hear a song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song,
Praise It. Do not lot tho singer
Wait deserved praise long,
Why should one who thrills your heart,
Lack the Joy you may impart2
If you hear prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of "two or three" in prayer ?
II silvery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. 'Tis the wise mans saying
For both grief and JOY place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
Scatter thus your seeds Of kindness,
All enriching as you go
Leave them. Trust the harvest Giver,
He will make each seed to grow.
So, until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack friend.

"Going to sell this hog"

ooh about 225."
"You're off; he won't go over 200"
Every chair is vacated on the instant.
Every eye is fastened on the hogrooting
in the gutter, and every man fatters
himself that he can guess within q
pound of the porker's weight.
"That hog will pull down iist exactly
1876 pounds, says the blacksmith, after
long squint.
"He won't go an ounce over 1885,"
adds the cooper.
"I've got a SO bill that says that hog
will kick at 210," says the hardware
man,
"You must be wild," growls the
grocer. Il can't see over $50 pounds of
meat there"
Twenty men take walk around the
porker, and squint and shake their
heads and look wise, and the owner
finally says:

that 1 am no guesser."

"Well, that's leetle steep, but I've

By this time the crowd has increased
to a hundred and the excitement is in
tense. The Squire lays half dollar
on $50, and the owner of the hog
rakes in several bets on "between 900 and
225." The porker is driven to the hay
scales, and the silence is almost painful
as the weighing takes place.

The Only Jewish Daily in the wOrIl

lH6 OulJ J6WISH OdlIJ III Ju6 WOIi's
While in pursuit of information one
afternoon recently, Tribune reporter
stumbled into strange-looking apart
ment on the second floor of an old
house on East Broadway, which bore
only the remotest resemblance to the
place he was looking for. He had just
time to take in at quick glance the
surroundings of the room before the
occupants appeared. By the windows
the eye first caught sight of a table
covered with papers and chairs placed
near. Venturing further, encouraged
by these signs, bed and other house
hold belongings were seen. Thinking
he had intruded the reporter turned to
go out, when he saw through the thin
curtains that divided the rear of the
large room a number of frames and
type cases, at which printers were
busily engaged. So intent were they
on their work that the entrance of the
intruder did not disturb them. But a
small, sallow, active woman, with her
hair dressed in strange, foreign fash
ion, quickly appeared, followed almost
Immediately by young man with a
foreign cast of countenance.
When the reporter explained his
erTand the youth answered in good
English and put him on the right track.
BY further inquiry the nature of
the place was learned. Here is
set up every day of the week
except Saturday the Daily JelOish
Gazette, the only Jewish daily published
in the world. The editor is X. IL.
Sarasohn, a Polish Jew, and here he
lives with his wife and son. The paper
has some curious features. The sheet
is little larger than one page of the
Tribune, and its columns number four to
the page, or sixteen in all. The type
used is the old Hebrew. The title
head, set in English and Hebrew, is at
the top of the fourth page, as numbered
in the English style. The lines read
from right to- left.
The editor, Mr.. Sarasohn, has been
publishing a weekly Jewish paper foI
some time, and in June started the
daily, which is sold for two cents copy.
He claims a circulation of 1900. He
gives his readers summaries of all the
news of the day, from all parts of the
world, making specially, of course, OF
all that concerns Jewish peopJe.-Neu

Life,s Harvest.

Was it not said by some great sage
That life lie an unwritten page2
We write our fate; and when old age
Or death comes on,
We drop thepen.
For good or i'll, from day to day,
Each deed we do, each word we say,
Makes its impress upon the clay
Which molds the minds
OF other men.
And all our acts and words are seeds
Sown DER the past, whence future deeds
Spring up, to form or wheat or weeds;
And as we've sown
So reapwe then.
