A handbook, giving q general &C.
count of the Jews, just issued by DR..
r. Andree, estimates their total number
throughout the world at 6, 100. 900. On.
~ 1901 of the race are to be found
in Asia, AGO. in Africa, 800. 900 in
America, and 10000 in Australia. The
great majority of the race, more than
5000, 900, live in Europe. Roumania
contains q far larger number of Jews,
in proportion TO- its population. than
any other European country, namely,
IA per cent, while Norway contains
only 81 individuals of the race. The
local distribution of the Jewish popula.
ton in different countries is traced out
with great pains by Dr.. Andree. Thus
in some of the government districts Of
Russian Poland the Jewish inhabitants
constitute from IS to l8 per cent. of the
population. Although for the whole of
Germany the Jewish element IL only
II per cent of the population, in
the city of Berlin it has increased to
nearly 5 Der cent

A Well Punished Thief

A very daring pick pocket was given
q lesson in Park-row recently that he
will not be likely to forget in = week
or two. It was at about 8 o'clock, and
the latest news from Washington had
just been posted on the Times bulletin
board. Several hundred persons were
pressing eagerly up to the corner, and
people were packed in close. Among
the searchers for news was . rather

was nearly in the middle of the crowd,
with his eyes upon the bulletin.board,
when . young man Of about twenty,
passably we'll dressed, but with the
look of . thief on his face, passed up to
him and grabbed his watch-chain. He
gave it : heavy jerk and the chain or
the vest gave way, but the watch re-
manned in the vest pocket. The watch's
owner, feeling the thug, saw the thief
with the chain in his hand, and, in
stead Of seizing him, he drew back his
right hand and gave him . blow
squarely in the face that staggered him.
He followed this Immediately with 4
well-directed .'left-hander'' that sent
the thief Keeling through tho crowd.
The owner of the watch followed him
and seized him by the coat-oollar. Tho
thief at this turned and tried to wrench
himself loose. He no sooner turned
his head, however, than the gentleman
gave him two more lessons in honesty.

What Causes the Blood to Circulate.

What Causes the Blood to Circulate
To what degree the heart is aided by
other forces is yet q matter of investi-
CATION. Probably there are several
forces assisting their carrying capacity.
They are firm, elastic tubes, which ex-
pand under the pressure from each
heart-contraction, and then by their
own elasticity contract and help the on
ward flow of the blood. In the small
Ter arteries the flow loses the intermit-
tent character it possesses in the larger
arteries, and becomes steady stream.
The elasticity of the arteries serves
precisely the same purpose as the air
chamber of any force-pump, that of
equalizing the flow, and so increasing
the amount delivered. The whole force
is derived from the heart the arteries
cause the force to act continuously.
The veins are lax tubes, somewhat
larger than the arteries. and capable
of holding all the blood in the body.
They convey the same amount of blood
as the latter, but more slowly. In the
larger veins, however, near the auricles,
the velocity may be 200 millemetres
per second. They are provided with
valves which effectually prevent the
blood from flowing backward toward
the heart. Any compression, produced
by muscular contraction, or otherwise.
will therefore assist the forward flow of
venous blood. This is one explanation
why exercise hastens the circulation,
the blood. as well as the atmosphere.
tending to fill the vacuum during In.
spiration.
Physical capillary force is not gener-
ally regarded as an active force in the
circulation. But there is an admitted
force in the capillaries, resulting from
the attraction of the tissues for the ar
terial blood, containing the required
oxygen and nutriment. 'sThe vital
condition of the tissue becomes factor
in the maintenance of the circulation
It is this force, primarily, which adapts
the amount of blood the varying needs
of any organ the nervous system regu-
lates the supply by varying the caliber
Of the vessels.
The force in the capillaries, or some
other force. carries the blood, after
death, from the arteries, where the
heart leaves it, into the veins. Finding
the arteries empty after death gave rise
to the idea that they conveyed only air;
whence the name. It was this belief
which Harvey overthrow in 1920
Popular Science Monthly.

Care in the Use Of Firearms,

Never forget that the gun is not so
harmless as q walking-stick. Don't
point it at yourself. Don't point it at
anyone else. Don't carry it so that its
range includes all your hunting COM
panions. Don't try to find out wheth-
er it is loaded or not by shutting one
eye and looking down the barrel with
the other. Don't use it for walking
stick. Don't climb over fence and
pull it through muzzle foremost. Don't
throw it into boat SO that the trigger
will catch in the seat and the charge
be deposited in your stomach. Don't
use it for q sledge hammer. Don't car
ry it full cooked. Don't carry it with
the hammer down.

Horse-Stable Floors.

The long-debated question as to the
best material for stable floors, is being
again revived. A clay floor was adj
hered to by some for years, and such
was the earnestness of its advocates and
the many arguments brought to bear
upon it that we were induced, some 20
years ago to try it. In three or four
months we had the planks back again,
being satisfied of the disadvantages of
clay for this purpose. Our present
floor of plank is simply inclined little
from front to rear, where the usual gut
ter is made to carry off the liquid void.
ings.. We do not believe in sand. coal
ashes, sawdust asphaltum, flags. cob
blcstones. or any of these modern de-
vices to injure horses. Thus far we
have never noticed that this little incli-
nation was in any way injurious; and
we doubt whether the wooden grating
that We frequently see placed over tho
planking that some use would be advis-
able on the ground that the animal
would be more comfortable, while this
movable grating or second floor might
lead to accidents. When person can
keep horses in good, sound, healthy
condition for five to seven years, as we
have done on . carefully constructed
plank flooring, inclining little to the
rear, it is just as well to be satisfied
with it. Do what one will, holes will
be dug by the stamping Of the feet in
the clay, and these will be filled with
moisture, which will necessarily result
in scratches, quarter crack, etc. 1.-THE
clay is leveled off and beaten down
daily, it will make no difference. Some
time ago we inspected number of
stables where many horses were kept,
and we encountered only one which
was composed Of anything but wood.
OF course there will be new things -.-in-
ventions- springing up. which are to
meet and overcome every objection,
and there will be some to adopt them,
but we shall be satisfied with what we
) have until there is something produced
about which there will be no mistake.

An Unfortunate Revelation.

To Long Branch, the other day. there came
very elegant-looking girl. accompanied by
an elderly lady, evidently a companion. The
young lady was not at all pretty, but perfect
chic. from the plumes of her Gainesborough
hat to the tips of her French kid boots. She
had long, lazy black eyes, which she used ef-
fectively over the top of Louis Quinxe fan;
a dainty little hand, decked with only one or
two well-chosen rings; charming manners,
and frequently addressed her companion in
very good French. They engaged handsome
rooms at the West End Hotel, and the rumor
went quietly about that the newcomer was an
orphan heiress from San Francisco. Could
anything be more interesting? In week
she was the fashion, and had more friends
than hairs on her head. delightful con-
versationalist, a fair musician, always well
dressed. and lavish with her money, she GER
tainly had grounds for popularity. She had
the manner of one accustomed to command,
and occasionally forgot herself in treating
gentleman too much like an upper servant,
but with certain class this gave her
added prestige. A few nights ago at soiree

An Ungathered Harvest.

Now. when the sumac is coloring the hills
from the Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico with its
rich crimson, is the time TO draw the attention
of our agriculturists to the scheme of the Ag-
ricultural Bureau for making it a source of
real profit to the country. The leaves of the
sumac used, as our readers know, for
purposes of tanning and the varieties spon-
taneously produced in the United States
while not so valuable for this use as the Sici-
ian. are hardy and bear the changes of our
climate. 1t has hitherto proved impossible
to acclimate either SiciIan, French or Span
ish sumac in this country. The importation
of foreign sunac averages 5000 tons annual
ly, outside of an immense amount smuggled
into the country; the imported article being
worth $50 per ton more than the native. Our
wild sumac imparts a yellow tinge to the
leather and fails to give it the snowy delicacy
to which the tannic acid obtained from the
Sicilian bleaches it. DIR. MacMurtrie, who
has published an official report on this matter,
states that this difficulty can be obviated by
gathering the sumac leaves in June if they are
required for tanning white or very light leath-
er; the tannn then present being smaller in
quantity but of purer quality, and the value
of the ground leaves being equal to the Sicil-
ian.
There is no reason" says the department
very justly. "why the 81 900. 900 in gold paid
yearly for foreign sumac should not be kept
at home" The plant grows like weed on
every stretch of poor ground or mountain
range, and it requires but little culture and
skill in harvesting to add it to our less profit
able lesser crops. 1t requires to be kept free
from weeds the crop should be gathered the
year after planting, by breaking off all the
leaves; after that year in Sicily the tree is
either stripped of all its leaf bearing branches
and prunpd dow TO n STRAIGHT stalk or eIae
which is best, hand-picked three times a year.
At present the crop of American sumac is
| reaped almost exclusively by negroes and poor
whites. especially in Virginia About 5000
tons are brought annually to the Virginia
mills, carelessly gathered AMI cured, and con-
sequentiy worth about half the value Of the
imported article Tribune
