Scotchmen and Jews.
London World.

jews are to Germany very much what
Scotchmen are to England. They come,
they see, they conquer. They invade the
country a, every point; begin their career
IN garret and terminate il in palace.
Many Of the most successful merchants,
lawyers, and physicians in London are
OF Scotch extraction. Lord Mayor Nc
Arthur is an Irish Scot. Dr. Andrew
Clarke is Scot. So is Mr.. John Pender,
and so are a score of other equally emin-
ent and opulent individuals, whom it is
unnecessary to particularize. The Scot
has an awkwardly persistent manner Of
standing in the Briton's sunlight and Of
being the foremost to seize the prizes and
the different good things of life. His
nationality is quite as aggressive and
prehensile as in the case of the veritable
Hebrew; he has fewer amiable qualities
by way of compensation, and he has in.
hnitely less sense of humor. Yet Eng.
lishmen, when they have bcnn hopeless.
ly dlstaned by the canny aliens from be-
yond the Tweed, try to live in unity
with their rivals and have no more no
ton OF making tho home counties too
hot to hold them than they have of re-
peallng the civil disabilities relief acts
In arts, literature, money-making, the
lsraelite can beat the Teuton, just as the
Scot frequently does the Briton. Frank
Main, the second commercial
city of the Fatherland, is more of He
brew capital than Jerusalem. At Bonn
Berlin, Heidelberg, some of the most dis
tinguished professors are of the seed Of
Abraham.

Ones birthday.

1t is a marvel to me how any one, be-
yond the age of childhood, can regard
the arrival Of birthday with pleasure
and make it the occasion Of congratula-
tions and festivities. What does the
birthday say to one but Here ! am
again. You year older, a year uglier,
year crosser than when we last met
have stolen from your life three hun
dred and sixty-five days. have dis
illusioned you considerably. | have
taken away several friends-either their
hearts or their bodies. True, | have
made you few gifts, but all that ! have
given you, other years will take away
together with the remnant Of your
youth, your good-looks, your hope and
your strength. If come often to YOU
or if my successors come, which is the
same thing-you will become an old
man or woman-childish perhaps, or
alone in the world. If our visits cease
abruptly, well-you cease too, as far as
this world goes; all your little happiness,
your projects, your hopes your loves
everything mortal that is in you" That
is birthday.
And do you expect me to keep one?
Not /. ! wish no one had labeled on his
back with figures from calendar. Then
he might have come and gone without
my knowledge.
As for giving him party, or dancing
because he comes, or being congratulated;
Oh, not l! I've never liked him since l
was fifteen. When he creeps into the
room early in the morning and looks on
me with . diabolical grin, and shouts

A Cruel Thing.
So cruel We hope that no teacher will
be guilty Of it.
What is il that il go cruel2

So cruel we hope that no teacher will
be guilty Of it.
What is il that is so cruel?
"Scribner's Monthly tells the story.
The editor, who is well-read physician,
says:
1t is cruel thing to send boy out
into the world untaught that alcohol in
any form is fire, and will certainly burn
him if he puts it into his stomach.
1t is a cruel thing to educate a boy in
such a way that he has no adequate idea
of the dangers that beset his path.
1t is a mean thing TO send boy out to
tax, his place in society without under
standing the relations Of Temperance to
his own safety and prosperity, and to
the safety and prosperity of society. OF
course the great barrier between the
youth and correct knowlege-the great
mystiiier and misleader-is respectable
society.
This is practically saying to the young,
pretty universally, that wine is good
thing.
Fine dinners are never given without
it, and good men and women drink it
daily.
They do not get drunk, they may be
conscientious and religious, and many of
them not only do not regard wine
drinking as harmful, but as positively
beneficial.
The boy and the young man see all
this, and think, naturally, that those
who have experience in drink should
know better about its results than those
who let drink alone.

Cigar smokers Take Notice.

Confirmed cigar smokers will learn
with pain and discontinue that millions
of the weed they love are annually man
ufacturcd i'm Havana without so much
as a single fiber Of tobacco leaf be-
ing utilized IN the process Of their fabri-
cation. For some years past the great
straw paper factory in Chatham, New
York state, has executed large orders
emanating from certain wealthy Cuban
firms, for a peculiar sort of paper ex-
tremely thin and Of fine quality, which
it has duly made and delivered without
troubling itself about the especial pur-
poses for which the article might be re-
quired. Recently, however, the manu-.
facturers have discovered that this paper
is used for making cigars. which are sub
sequently exported from Cuba to all of
the world as genuine Havana tobacco.
,ts conversion into imitation leaf is
effected as follows; 1t is thoroughly
soaked in solution composed of tobacco
refuse boiled in water, then dried and
pressed between stamps, which impart TO
it the appearance Of the finest leaf so ex-
actly as te defy detection on the part of
the most experienced tobacco-sorters.
OF these paper leaves are fabricated the
spurious cigars above alluded to, the total
cost of their production being intinitesi.
NAL in comparison TO the price at which
they are disposed Of wholesale to Ameri-
can and European importers of the fra
grant weed, As we are Uniformed, slight
difference Of weight between the genuine
and the spurious cigar Of identical brand
and size affords the only certain means
of detecting this fraud, so absolutely alike
in all their external features are the weeds
really made of tobaccoand their counter
felt presentments in straw paper.

Sol Smith Russell.

When Sol Smith Russell was boy he
wanted to play actor. His mother sent
him out one day to bring in an armful of
wood. Sol disappeared for three wears.
He ran away and joined a peripatetic
show, saved up his money and returned
in three years with $500 in his pocket.
He strolled quietly in through the back
gate, gathered up an armful of wood and
marched into the house, addressing his
astonished parent with Here's the wood
you sent me after mother" Russell has
provided his mother with a comfortable
home in Jacksonville, Ills, and she il
living there at the present time sur.
rounded by ali hss heart can dssire.

Words to the Girls,

The following advice to the girls is be
ing extensively distributed among fami-
lies of the Eastern States: Don't 60 with
a man if he is stranger to you, or one
whose reputation you are not acquainted
with. Remember that in ordinary busi-
ness the same rule is applied as protec.
ton against the loss of money. No bank
er or money-lender will trust a stranger;
no business man will sell him goods on
time without guarantee against loss or
deception. Why then should a woman,
young or old, trust herself to man when
she does not know whether he is honor
able or not? Do not marry man to get
rid of him, or TO obige him, or to save
him. A man who has formed bad habits
what is he? What is there of him you
can love? The man who would go TO
destruction without you would quite as
likely 90 with you, and, perhaps, drag
you along. Remember, your future hap
piness depends altogether on the kind Of
n partner you get, as it is he that makes
your homes on earth heaven or home
of sorrow. Therefore, be sure, take none
other than one that is equally pure as
yourself Remember that man when
he looks for wife, seeks sobriety, virtue
and purity in woman. Why then
should not women demand the same of
men? Settle your head and make up
your mind alone. A word from good
mother will not harm you, as she is the
last and crowning handiwork of God, the
link connecting Heaven and earth, the
endowment Of purity, holiness and heav-
enly grace, the most perfect combination
Of modesty, patience, devotion. affection,
gratitude and loveliness and fit for any
high or holy trust. Did not she watch
over you from infancy TO childhood, from
childhood TO girlhood? And a mother is
more of mother than father is faith
er. Mother knows that a husbands
work is from sun to sun, and a wife's
work is never done. Forget not, prom
Use may be made in moment of sympa-
thy, or even half delirious eetasy, which
must be redeemed through years of sor-
row, toll and pain. Forget not, he only
that Is free from vice is fit TO be yorr
companion, and no other. Drop the CON-
pany of him at once who has uttered a
word unbecoming to true manhood, for if
man is true to himself, then it must
follow as the day the night, he can
not be false to woman. As you make
your bed so you must sleep. Take none
that has slandered or betrayed one of
your own sex. or broken promise. He
Is not worthy of wife, nor will he ever
be true TO one.

THE WRATH OF JACK FROST.

Jack FROST was affrontcd and angry
The North Wind had told, In a gale,
How mortals were dreading his advent
When Autumn should die In the vale.
They spakc Of his stern laws abiding,
His treacherous kiss that Is Death.
The Punishment sad Of the blossoms,
The free rivers chained by his breath.
Then drawing his white robe about him.
He vowed he would leave them TO know
That evils for mortals there might be
More dire than the ice or the snow.
Then strobe TO the North, very sulky,
Till people grew frightened Ia think
OF the dainties denied-of the horror
Ofsummer warm water 10 drink.
They sent him a tropical letter.
BloomScented with touching device
With hoar- frost he sanded his answer,
And wrote with his finger, NO lce.'
The Changers sent up commission,
To speak. 50 they said. for the wheat;
He frosted their noses by wholesale,
And sent them home blue With defeat.
The skaters with steel, clashing loudly,
Invoked him, with penitent cry,
"Oh, come in thy beautiful arinor,
oh, Frost Kingi' He whistled, "Not l.
The Ice dealers prayed by the river,
An army right stalwart 10 see;
They filed the soft air with reproaohes,
Yet Jack never needed their plea.
Then came TO him, family and softly,
A pitiful, weak little cry
From fever hot childhood still asking
That his hand on each forehead might lie.
To this he was strangely attentive,
And bent to the tremnlous prayer,
Then spake TO his servants In waiting,
To flng out his flag ev'ry-where.
Then lo there were crystalline bridges
That needed nor cable nor pier
The south Wind before him retreated
In turmoil and terrible fear
He tucked the poor wheat away safely,
He sealed the buds safe with a kiss,
TIL the white winter harvest was gathered
And housed from the sun and the mist.
But lust where the brook, running swiftly,
Touched lightly Its icc-tamborine,
There were echoes of happy child-laughter
still sounding all pauses between.

caused the promise to be given him that
as soon as he can write English with
ease he shall have place as translator

to earn means of support while studying
English that he has taken the place at
the hotel. Gentlemen belonging to the
legation Of his country spoke to the land
lord Of his reverses and determination to
earn living, and secured a place for
him. As many foreigners board in the
hotel, it is an advantage to have some
one in the establishment who speaks
other languages besides English. This
young man speaks, reads and writes
Latin, Greek and Russian as well as
more modern tongues.
