Democrats to go to the polls, is a matter of
sincere regret-but regrets at this lato date

English Opinion Of Russian Jews.

The effort Of the poor Jews in Russia
to emigrate to America: is impeded by
an unexpected difficulty. 1t is the
practice Of the Emigration Committee
ut New York to find work for the immi-
grants, and distribute them through the
country in the occupations with which
they are acquainted. They distribute
hundreds of thousands of persons every
year in this way, but they say they fail
with Jews Either their employers
send them back, making charges Of
idleness or incompetence, or the Jews
themselves return. declaring that .sthe
work is too hard" The committee has,
therefore, declined to receive any more
Jews. The truth seems to be that the
Jews-ar expected to do hard, manual
labor; and that in America, as every
where else, they refuse to do it, except
under pressure of absolute necessity.
Their business in tho world, as they
think, Is to distribute, taking. heavy
toll upon the article distributed. That
is 8 useful function, but colony can
no more be made up Of distributors than
Z State can be composed Of tax-gather.

Jews in Palestine, but he has omitted to

Common Errors.

What absurd mistakes we make in our
dress and habits! Many people brush
their teeth in the morning, ten or twelve
hours after they have partaken of food;
yet. clearly, the proper time to cleanse
the teeth is after a meal, otherwise the
operation is performed for beautifying
and not for cleansing the teeth. Then
our clothing is very absurd. In this eli
mate, where throat and lung diseases
are particularly prevalent, we expose
the throat to the cold night air with but
slight protection, while we cover it Sc
curely in the daytime. Women, who
suffer from catarrhs and colds in the
heads. wear hats which are purely or
namental and afford no protection
They put warm clothing over the body
and are generally insuficiently clad
about the limbs. The weight of their
clothes is on the hips instead of on the
shoulders, which has q tendency to ag-
gravate all the diseases peculiar to the
sex. Instead of wearing shoes to pro-
tect the feet, high-heeled denominations
are worn, which cripple the movements
and plague the wearer with bunions and
corns. Again, in the matter of food and.
sleep. In all the animal creation sleep
follows feeding, and in warm countries
people take siesta after a meal; but
the modern man and woman dash from
the dinner table to the theatre, ball, or
club, and bring all their powers of mind
to bear at time when the process of
digestion and assimilation is going on.
Indeed, considering the willful errors
we commit in diet, attire and general
habits, can we not all sympathize with
the man who said he believed in the
doctrine Of Metempsychosis, forhe could
distinctly remember the time when he
was an ass.

A Distinguished Pickpocket.

Under The heading of "A Distinguish
ed Pickpocket." the French journals
publish the following story: .'At the
Chateauroux races skilful pickpocket
with an open countenance whipped from
the hand Of q lady q richly-embroidered
handkerchief which she was carrying.
The victim was unconscious of the rob-
berry, but some persons who were stand
ing close to her saw the deed commit
ted, and raised the usual cry Of .'Au
voleur" which is equivalent to our
''Stop THEIR Our hero, instead of lev.
anting like vulgar rascal. remained
upon the spot calm and immovable. =
After casting glance Of superb disdain
upon his would-be pursuers, he used the
dainty handkerchief several times with
as much vigor as dignity. Then. with
jaunty air, rendered the lady her
handkerchief, saying, Madam, thou
sand pardons: I came ont without :
pocket-handkerchief, and nothing is
more announcement thank you The
astonishment this act created was so ov-
erwhelming that no one thought of or.
resting the impudent thief, who was
soon lost in the crowd.

Hints Of Fall STYLES.

In the way of trimmings, it is said
that the reign OF embroidery has only
just begun, and that it will be used next
Winter in greater prOfnsion than at
present for trimming wooden dresses.
Polka dots will be enlarged to great
balls that resemble embroidery, though
they are wrought by machinery. These
balls are shaded with Il deep hue like a
shadow in the lower part of the round
figure, and, though most often of a
darkcrtint than the surface of the dress,
are also in different shades, contrasting
with the dark color of the ground. The
''plumetis,' or fcathery chenille en-
broidcry. introduced this Summer in
nuns yelling, will also be repeated in
camel s-hair and in other wooden fabrics
that are not twilled.
For silks, gros grain and heavy taft
fetas are suggested instead of the satin
lustrous goods that have been worn
during the past three years. The latter,
however, will by no means go out of
fashion. Tatteta silks are the fav0rites
of the Summer season with Parisicnnes,
and will probably be in vogue here for
the Autumn and Winter. The checked
t,stfeta is preferred by French modistes
to the twillcd Louisines that are so
much used here. They are imported in
bingham checks that combine olive,
dark red, blue, etc. The chine tatfeta is
also favorite choice ut present in
Paris, but has not found us much favor
here Us the softer chine s,lr:.hs that are
shown in dark maroon, green or blue
grounds strewn with creamy tca-roses.
or with pale blue or salmon pink
grounds nearly covered with q pattern
Of rose-buds on u blue ground, or of
forget-me-nots or green leaves on y sal
mon background. About brocades
opinions differ. They are condemned
in advance by some merchants. while
others, especially those who cater to gay
tastes, have ordered them at the Lyons
factories, for their customers who like
snowy things and are sure to object to
plain tllings.-Bost0n Herald.

Washing Dishes.

Do not set the little girls to washing
dishes too early in life. In large fam
lily or on a farm, it is one of the hardest,
most bothersome tasks, requiring the
most skill and patience of any that can
be found. Let them clear the table and
wipe the dishes, but do not put them at
the dish-washing unless they wish it.
They can sweep once in while, and
they can iron small things; they can
hang out clothes; they can even take q
mop and wipe certain section Of floor,
or scrub q kitchen table with brush,
or fill lamp, and they feel then that
they have done something. There is q
change and variety in all these, and
something has been accomplished; but
washing dishes, forsooth! 1t has so long
been given over to children and hire.
lings, that it has fallen into disrepute,
while the monotony of the occupation
and the name disgusts them. II they
propose to assist you in any way, unless
it be washing, always accept. Never
let them have it to say, Il wanted to
once, and now you make me do it,

Ballet Slippers With Wooden Toes.

Speaking Of Shoes" says Clara Belle,
II have won dozen pairs of gloves on
shoe wager. was at the Metropoli-
tan Alcazar, as our big music garden is
now called. The performance consists
in part of ballet. My escort said it
was queer how the chief whirler, kicker
and pirouetter could get up that way
on her toes. He should think her big
toes would give way at the ends. I
said that the strain came on her ankles
and not on her toes, because her slip
pers had wooden ends. into which her
toes fitted. He wouldn't believe it.
We made q bet. Next day we went to
a theatrical goods store and I asked for
ballet slippers. The clerk handed down,
as knew he would, pair Of white sat-
in ones with wooden ends made Of
blocks gouged out, trinity shaped and
covered by the satin. Alleviate your
sympathy with this knowledge when
ever you see dancer apparently grind
ing her toe-nails on the boards"
