The Persecution Of the Jews.

The Jews have been from all time an
exclusive people pride of race and con-
tempt Of the Gentiles round about them
distinguished them already in the days
when they warred against the Amalekites.
They sincerely and truly believed that it
was not pleasing to Him that His children
should act like the peoples round about
them. Eighteen centuries of cruel, sense
less prosecutions, of enforced exclusion
IN, N mtermixture with other nations, of
inter-marriage in small communities,
have intensified all the distinctive physi-
cal and mental features of the Jews, so
that not only their good but their bad
qualities have become accentuated. Not
even the eighteenth century, so ready to
coast on its enlightenment, had opened
the gates of the Ghetto and accorded
civil liberties to a people who, OF all peo-
pies, ure peace-loving, law-abiding and
least likely to abuse these privileges.
Inc gates have now been thrown down,
the liberties freely granted, and it is
difficult 10 foretell what the jew will be
few centuries hence-lndeed, If there will
be Jews left at all. They are far too as
sinilatiye, far too keen-s, GIFTED, not to be
affected by and to recognize the propri-
ETY. inherent i'll, the cosmopolitan ten
denotes of the present day. For oiw-
selves, we have no faith in the schemes
of enthusiasts portrayed by Daniel
Deronda and his friend Mordecai, in the
national restoration of the Jewish people,
= and feel convinced that, were theattempt
made, it would result in a mere exodus
of the scum Of the population. What
has distinguished the Jewish people and
kept them nation so long is the fact
that their nationality is notrooted in the
land from which they have SO long been
absent, but in the law, which they can
bear about with them everywhere. Tie
Jews are at present in transitional state.
: tbs commonly said it takes three gener-
ations to make gentleman. II must
certainly take as long to obliterate all
tie cruel memories OF Christian oppress-
ion tnatlnger among those whose grand
fathers remember the pressure Of dsa-
ling laws.-Erchdnge.

Whales.

The birthday of whales is celebrated
occasionally in the public schools like
that of the poets. The following is q
little girls composition prepared lately
for that occasion:
Whales is big fish. Whales live o.
long time and don't die when they get
old. We had a railroad whale hero a
little time ago, just for show. Whales
don't always travel that way. They
mostly go by water so they can sea more.
Most people like to go by rail deadhead,
but whales amt like most people.
"a good while ago people used to
make light of whales, but they don't
some now; faint quick enough. The
lamps won't blow up.
1--WE wouldn't have no newspapers if
it wasn't for coal oil, and railroads, and
pistols and 80 forth /; cause there would
MT be no news.
Whales is like shoes-right and left.
Our railroad whale was right whale.
Sometimes a whale gets left when the
tide goes out-kind of united. Maybe
there is other kind of whales. Some of
the boys catch EN- in school, but don't
like that kind, they amt interestin' to
girls"

The Almond.

The almond is native of Asia and
Africa, but is cultivated also in Europe.
IN the North of Europe it is grown only
before its leaves, and for its foliage, as
the fruit does not ripen In these north
ern latitndes. The blossoms resemble
those of the peach, but are larger and
paler in color-sometimes almost white.
The wood of the almond tree is hard, Of
reddish tint and is Used for furniture.
The chief value of the tree hes, however,
IN its fruit
There are several varieties of almonds,
but they may he generally classified ms
street and bitter.
The sweet almonds are familiar to ev-
cry nut-loving child. They are pleasant
to the taste, but are the most indigesti-
BILE of all nuts.
Bitter almonds are also cultivated for
the nut, from which a valuable oil is
pressed. When in a crude state the oil
is very poisonous, on account OF the
prussic acid contained in it, and many
persons have died from its careless use.
When properly prepared the pure oil is
not dangerous poison. -r
1t is used MS medicine, as fiavoring
extract, and for pertaining soaps, oils,
backing and many other articles of COM
merce.
Almonds are mentioned several times
in the Bible. They were among the
gifts which Jacob directed his sons to
take to the unknown Joseph in Egypt.
The seven branched candlestick had the
bowl of its branches modelled after the
almond. In Ecclesiastes the tree is ased
as a symbol of old age, and it is also al
luded to by the prophet Jeremiah;' and
in Numbers we learn that Aaron's rod
that budded was cut from an almond
Tree, for it yielded almonds"

table he took an egg, and, holding Il

way of obtaining the contents wishouk

She replied that she did not.

Col. Ingersoll, in speaking of Lord
Beaconslield as a glutton, says: Most
of his characters are like l,imself-pup-
pets moved by the string of self-interest.
The men are adroit, the women mostly
heartless. They catch each other with
false bait. They have great worldly
wisdom. The virtue and gice are nae
chanical. They have hearts like clocks
--RAed with wheels and springs. The
author winds their up. In his novels,
Disraeh elbows us to enter the green
room of his heart. We see the ropes,
the pulleys and the old masks. In all
things, in politics and in literature, he
was cold, cunning, accurate and sue
cessful. His books will, in little while,
follow their author to the grave.

A IIammerchurp.

said: - ~ e.

Married People Would be Happier.

If home trials were never told to the
neighbors
Ii they kissed ana made up after every
quarrel.
Ii household expenses were proper
toned to receipts.
If they tried to be as agreeable as in
conrtship days.
If each would try to be support and
comfort to the other
If each remembered the other was O
human being, not an angel.
If women were as kind to their hus-
bands they were to their lovers.
III fcul and provisions were laid in dur
ing the high tide of summer work.
If both parties remembered they mar
ried for worse as well as for better.
If men we're as thoughtful for their
wives as they were for their little sweet
hearts.
Ii there were fewer silks and velvet
costumes for the street and more plain,
tidy horse dresses.
II there were fewer please darlings, T"
in public, and more common manners In
private.
Ii wives and husbands would take
some pleasures as they go along and not
degenerate into mere toiling machines.
Recreation is necessary to keep the heart
in its place, and to get along without it
is big mistake.
If men would remember that women
can't always be smiling who have to cook
the dinner, answer the door bell half o
dozen times, and get rid of neighbor
who has dropped in, tend to sick baby,
tie up the cut finger Of q two-year- old,
gather up the playthings of q four-year-
old, tie up the head of x-year-old on
skates, and get an eight-year-old ready
for school, to say nothing of sweeping,
cleaning, etc. A woman with all this to
contend with may claim it as privilege
to look and feel little tired sometimes,
and word of sympathy would not b
too much to expect from the man, who,
during the honeymoon. wouldn't let hsx
cagry as much ae s,,a hadA.

An Accident All Around.

A most ridiculous scene occurred at q
church in Newcastle. policeman was
passing the church as a gentleman came
out. The man jokingly accosted the
policeman and said he was wanted in
side, meaning that the minister would
be glad to have him turn from the error
of his ways, aud seek the truth and en-
Joy apeace that passeth all understand
ing. The stupid policeman thought
there was some trouble in the church, so
he went in. The sexton, seeing po-
liceman, was anxious to give him favor
able seat, so he said, "Come right in
here" and he took him to pew and
waved his hand, as much as to say
Help yourself" There was another
man in the pew, deacon with sinister
expression as the policeman thought,
and lie supposed that was the man they
wanted arrested, so he tapped the dea-
con on the arm and told him to come
along. The deacon turned pale and
edged along as though to get away, when
the policeman took him by the collar
and ierked him out into the aisle. The
deacon struggled, thinking the police
man was crazy, and tried to get away,
but he was dragged along. Many Of the
congregation thought the deacon had
been deing something wrong, and some
Of them got behind the deacon and
helped the officer fire him out Arriving
ct the lookup, the policeman saw the
man who told him he was wanted in the
church, and asked him what the charge
was against the deacon, and he didn't
know, so the sexton was appealed to,
and be didn't know, and finally the pris-
oner was asked what it was all about,
and he didn't know. The policeman
was asked what he arrested the man for,
aud he didn't know, and after swhile the
matter was explained, and the pdice-
man, who had to arrest somebody, took
the man into custody who told he was
wanted in the church, and he was fined
Is and costs. He says he will never try
to convert . policeman again, and the
policeman says he will never 60 70

The "Deyil" in American Geography.
The number of lakes, slides, ovens,

word "devil attached to them is simply
immense. From the forests of Maine to

and the Dalles of the Columbia, there is
hardly locality that has not remem-
bered his Satanic majesty. The best
known Devils Gate, on the line Of the
Union Pacific Railroad, is that few
