-Four of the strongest links in the
chain of Jewish history are forged
with the letter M and around the
name Moses arc clustered some Of the
brightest epochs of our people. Mos
es the lawgiver, Moses Maimonides
the Jewish Luther, Moses Mendelssohn
the philosopher and Moses Montellore
the philanthropist, are names revered
and deer to all Jewish hearts. The
first three are known to us by the
qualities of the brain; they have OBJ
tanned a place in our history by the
greatness of their intellect; but Moses
Montefore himself is enleared to us
and he has earned his place in Jewish
annals by the qualities and greatness
of his heart.

Valuable Trimming,

Many a city man will always be
thankful that he was born a farmer
boy. Life on the farm has u benef

cannot be attained elsewhere. Work
is ennobled by the motive behind it
and every man may find something il
his work, however humble it may be
which is worth his best thought ant
energy. There is abundant evidence
in everyday life to show that the best
strength comes from the boys and
girls raised in the country. The pop
ulations of the great cities are recruit.
ed from the country, hence the char
acter of the people in those cities de
ponds largely upon the character and
training received in the country
Habits of thought and observation
especially concerning the objects in
nature, are important in the building
up and development of character
There are many odd moments which
may be snatched from actual labor OF
the farm and devoted to thoughtful
subjects which tend to build upant

New Jersey is sometimes jocularly
referred to as a foreign country by
persons who do not know the origin
of their little joke. After the down.
fall of the first Napoleon his brother,
Joseph, who had been king Of Spain
and his nephew, Prince Murat, sought
refuge in the United States, bringing
with them great wealth. Joseph tried
to induce several states to pass an act
to enable him as an alien to hold real
estate, but they all refused. Finally
the New Jersey legislature granted to
him and Prince Murat the privilege Of
purchasing land. They bought tract
of land at Bordertown, built magniG-
cent dwellings and fitted them up in
royal style with pictures, sculptures,
etc. Joseph Bonaparte's residence
was the finest in America. lie was
liberal with his money and made many
friends. The Philadelphians were
envious of the good fortune OF the
Jerseymen in securing the two mil
lionaires, and tainted them with being
foreigners" and with importing the
king of Spain to rule over them. The
taunt stuck and is still repeated by
many people who have no idea of
how it originated. atlanta Constitu-

Tho nYnOCriSY of the Face.


An Italian author, Signor NJ. p.
Mantegazza, professor Of natural his
tory at the Museum of Florence, has
just contributed very remarkable
volume to the list Of scientific works.
Mantegazza's work Is devoted to the
subject of human physiognomy and
the expression Of the emotions; it deals
very amply with one very interesting
Observation-Disclosures it is possible to
mask ones feelings by force of will so
completely as to deceive the keenest
and most experienced observer. Civil
lied, and even uncivilized peoples,
have been steadily training themselves
to master all outward signs of emotion
as far back as history recoIds-the
fashionable man Of Paris, London or
st. Petersburg tries to appear impas-
sive as god; the American, less
hypocritical, aims nevertheless to cul-
Understanding of Indian gravity and
stocism. What are the results of the
long continued effort of man to master
feeling and to hide what Nature seeks
to express under all circumstances.
They are sometimes very wonderful;
but NJ. Mantegazza does not believe
they are ever wholly succassful-not-
withstanding that tho capacity for
self conquest may have increased
steadily through generations, Woman
succeeds, indeed, better than man; and
the uninitiatel may be deceived by
either, but the experienced physiolo-
gist can never be wholly duped by the
immobility of a face or the fearless
ness of an eye.

Belle Meade Items.

For the past week emigrants have
been coming in faster than ever. They
come in wagons, carriages, buggies, on
horseback even walk in, for the fame
Of the Belle Meade country has reached
eastern settlements, yea to other states
that fame extendeth, and the people
are leaving their old worn out farms
in the east to secure new and better
ones in this comfy. ard the Sun City
trail has become race course, on
which it seems the whole eastern coun-
try has entered for the prize Of the
closest quarter of land to Belle Meade.
Come On settlers, those Of YOU who
mean to stay and improve and help to
build up this town and country, lets
build well upon tits good foundation
and make this country what it can east
ly be made, one of the best and fore
most in the state.
Mr.. Brannon has his barn almost
completed and oh, how it does loom up.
1t is the largest and highest building in
tie country so far, but it is not as high
as that derrick. which one would think
to view from q distance-was part
CT the barn, it stands there so high and
so persistently. We understand that
under the derrick there isa hole pound
ed down l65 feet, the object of the en-
ployer of that digging being to get water.
We think there is misunderstanding
between the parties concerned. The
other fellow is boring for oil, and has
all the machinery on his side, Of the most
improved oil boring pattern. He may
possible get water if he hits lake.

Colonies.

Ford county is being settled up with
colonies. The settlement is the old
story over and over again. There is no
use stemming or averting the tide. The
move is the memorable logic of history.
Some may go and some may stay, but
there will be fragment left, a plant
that will grow, multiply and replenis'.
The latest settlement is on the Mulber-
ry, in the vicinity of Pat Ryan's ranch.
We understand a colony of about fifty
people have taken possession of some of
the land embracing Mr.. Ryan's range,
and have commenced all actual settle
ment. Next year, when the irrigation
ditch is completed, we may anticipate a
big settlement along the irrigation line.
About one hundred families are pre-
pairing to settle on the lands on the IT.
rigation ditch near Ridgeway station,
seven miles east of Dodge. a few Of
these settlers are from Oregon and 9th
err states where they followed farming
by irrigation, but the high price Of
lands $4,000 per acre-precluded
purchases. They can find cheap lands
in Ford county along the irrigation
ditch, and these settlers are availing
themselves of the opportunity.

commenced at once. This establish
ment will give employment to about
forty Industrious men who will have
families, and who will add to the bust
ness character of the town besides help
ing to elevate the moral and social con-
dition of society. The loss of the dance
halls, whisky shops and gambling tables
will be compensated by Legitimate indus
tries. The hand writing is on the wall,

Dir. Taylor says Judge Peters was pres

and to the interrogatory Peters positive
ly declared that he was not taking any
part in the Senatorial canyass-that
Frost and Rush must fight it between
themselves. Frost's political monte
bank had circulated the report that
Judge Peters was in sympathy and sup
port of Frost. When Judge Peters
was confronted with these statements
be did not hesitate to publicly declare
that he was not in the interest of either
candidate.
