Nobody to Talk To,
From the New York Herald. !

About six months ago Solomon Levi,
young Hebrew from Southern Russia,
landed at Castle Garden with his family,
and Lewis brother-in- law, Jacob
Zapich, and family. The party went on
to Scotland, d. T., where they expected
to work on farms among people of their
own race. Zspich presented himself at
Castle Garden the other day, looking
for the rest of the party, who, it ap-
pears, had been compelled to return
again to this city to sail again for Rus
STA, for the curious reason that no one
can understand the language they
speak. There was only one man at Cas-
tie Garden who could converse with
Zapich, and that was Missionary Gold
stein, who, it is said, can speak every
modern language or dialect used any
where on the globe.
About century ago, when the Jews
we're exiled from Spain, some OF the
wanderers settled in European Turkey
and others made home in the peninsula
of the Crimea and neighDoring parts OF
Southern Russia. The Turkish Jews
continued to use the Spanish language,
and their descendants to this day speak
excellent Castilian. But their brethren
who went to Russia gradually forgot the
Spanish and began to speak the Ian
guage of the Tartars among whom they
lived. This is the tongue spoken by the
immigrants in question, and as there are
no Tartars in this country besides them
selves, and not half dozen lnguists
who speak the language-so far as
known-the Levi and the Zapich fam
lies found themselves in an awkward
situation. The people among whom
they went to live in Dakota are Russian
and German Jews, but they could not
understand Tartar. AS to Hebrew,
neither the immigrants nor their assocl-
ates knew enough to use it in converse

A Her0n's Strength.

A few weeks ago, Col. William E.
Sisty, the fish commissioner OF Colombo,
went to the state fish-hatchery, on the
Plata River, nine miles from Denver.
While he was inspecting the hatchery
he saw large blue heron preying upon
the young fish III the boxes. He ap-
preached the heron, expecting that the
bird would take alarm and fly; but the
heron attacked him furiously. The bird
was fully as tall as Col. Sisty, and was
so very swift that he was upon the man
in what seemed an infant. He used his
neck with lightning like rapidity, strik-
ing all the time at Col. Sisty's face.
Col. Sisty was unable to do more at first
than protect his eyes, and the blows
rained upon his hands left them
bleeding. His face was also cut in
places, for the bird was quicker with his
bill than the man was with his hands.
After the surprise was over Col. Sisty
prepared to assume the offensive. Pro-
tecting his face with his hat, he rushed
in upon the huge heron, seized the
creature by the body, and hurled him
to the ground. Then the struggle was
soon decided, for Col. Sisty grasped the
heron's neck and held on until his en-
envy was choked to death. The heron
was taken to Denver and exhibited to
hundreds of people, who soon learned of
the fish commissioner exploit

PLUCK AND PRAYER,

There want any use o. fretting,
An told Obadiah 80,
For eff we couldn't hold On things,
We'd jest got to let 'em go.
There are lots of folks that'd suffer
Along with the rest Of us,
An 1t didn't seem to be worth our while
To make such a dreff1e fuss.
To be sure, the barn was most empty,
An corn an pertaters sca'ce,
An not much Of anything plenty an cheap
But water-an' apple sass.
But then-as j told Obadiah
1twa'n't any use 20 groan,
For fesh an blood couldn't stan it an he
Was nothing but skin an bone.
But, laws if you'd only heerd him,
At any hour of the night,
A-prayin' outin that closet there,
'Twould have set you crazy quite.
patched the knees of those trousers
With cloth that was noways thin,
But 1t seemed as If the piecea wore out
As fast as I set em in.
To me he said mighty little
OF the thorny way we trod,
But at least a dozen times day
He talked 1t over with God.
Down on his knees in that closet
The most Of his time was passed.
For Obadiah knew how to pray
Much better than how to fast
But am that way contrary
That if things don't go jest right,
feel like roliin' my sleeves up high
An gittin' ready to fight.
An the giants / slew that winter,
amt goin' to talk about;
An didn't even complain to God,
Though think that He found 1t out
With the point of a camtric needle
druv the wolf from the door,
For knew that we needn't starve to death
Or be lazy because we were poor
An Obadiah he wondered,
An kept me patching his knees,
An thought it strange Low the meal held out:
An stranger we didn't freeze
But said to myself in whispers:
God knows where His GIFT descends;
An 'tisn't always that faith gifts down
AS far as the finger ends.'
An / wouldn't have no one reckon
My Obadiah shirk,
For some, you know, have the gift to pray,
And others the gift to work.

When spring comes laughing by vale and hill.
BY wind flower walking and dAffodil-

sing blue OF speedwell, and my loves eyes,
when comes the summer, full-lesved and strong,
And gay birds gossip, the orchard long

When autumn scatters the leaves again,
And piled sheaves bury the broad wheeled VAIN

sing rounds OF reapers, and my loves voice.
But when comes winter, with hail and storm,
And red nre roaring, and ingle warm

Then sing glad meeting, and my loves heart.

WORDS AND DEEDS.

They do the least
Who talk the most,
Whose good designs
Are all their boast
For words are dew,
They do the most.
Whose lives possess
The sterling stamp
OF righteousness;
For deeds are true.
And il the heart
Be pure aud good,
The life will be
just chat it should,
Not dew, but true.

Extracted Honey.

A very large part of the honey crop is
now taken IL the form of extracted
honey. Comb honey is good and beau
tlful, but it has the disadvantage of the
wax, which is indigestible and which no.
body cares to eat. In the extracted
honey we have no wax; it is honey in
Its purest form. Many people associate
extracted honey with strained honey:
they suppose that all honey out of the
comb Is strained honey, but this is great
injustice to extracted honey. In get.
ting strained honey all the combs from
a hive. combs containing capped brood,
and growing larvae and pollen and
honey, are mixed up together and then
the liquid squeezed out. In this way
there Is obtained some honey, but there
is also obtained the Juice of the growing
Larvae of the young bees and the pollen,
so that the honey has a rank flavor, a
dark color, and associations by no
means appetizing. But extracted honey
is as different from this strained honey
as it is possible to be. In getting ex-
tracted honey we get no pollen, no juices
of bees or Larvae. We get simply the
pure honey without any admixture what
ever. He who on cold winter morning
has never had pure, candied, white clio
yer honey to spread on his hot cakes, has
lived in vain! Life has lacked for him

An AstOnished Policeman.


Just at dusk Officer Gilday, of the
Nineteenth District, on his way home
from duty saw thief snatch ham from
in front of the grocery at Tenth and
Pine Streets, and make off with it up
the latter thoroughfare. The policeman
gained on the fugitive till the chase
reached the alley between Tenth and
Eleventh Streets. Here the pursuer
could no more pursue, for he that had
fled turned sharp about and sent his
spoil flying, at range of five feet,
straight at the officers head. When the
latter saw the section of smoked hog
hurtling toward him through the twl-
light he slashed savagely at it with his
blackjack In order to break the force of
the blow. Tue club did not seem to
strike pork. The sound given out by
the meeting bodies was like that made
by base ball bat striking sandbox. The
ham flew across the alley and dropped
with baItered-in side on the bricks,
The thief cut down the alley and es-
capped.
"There's no fixing that ham this
trip, said the groeeryman, sorrowfully,
who had followed in the rear. "Its
iocoSt WV yOdic hou DCCh dutt
throwed away eight times. but it never
got bat like that before"
The ham has furnished hours of
amusement in its brief life to the gro
ceryman and his clerk. It is one of 500
manufactured for large firm of pork
packers at Twenty-fourth and Brown
Streets and distributed by them among
their customers in the city.
There's one old gentleman who
walks down here from Spruce Street
every morning." said the groceryman.
He has great idea of marketing and
he's very near-sighted. If he's smelt
that ham and tapped it once he's done
it dozen times. Then it's fun to see
the hungry loafers round the corner get
out their lackknives and try to snip
piece off on the sly. They used to rag
up ham day before we got this one,
but we just stand inside now and laugh
to see their expression Of chagrin when
they have the blade quite on the ham. :"

Sleeping Together.

Somebody has said that more quarrels
occur between brothers, between sisters,
between hired girls, between clerks in
stores, between apprentices ia me-
chanics' shops, between hired men, be-
tween husbands and wives, owing to
electrical changes which their nervous
systems undergo by lodging together
night after night under the same bed
clothes, than by any other disturbing
cause. There is nothing says the Scien-
tific American, that will so derange the
nervous system of person who is
eiiminatlve in nervous force than to lie
all night in bed with another person who
Is absorbent in nervous force. The alb.
sorber will go TO sleep and rest all night;
while the eliminator will be tumbling
and tossing, restless and nervous, and
wake up In the morning fretful, peevish,
fault-tiHding, and discouraged. No two
persons, no matter who they are, should
habitually sleep together. One will
thrive and the other will lose.

Chinneys.


In the year 1900 chimneys were
scarcely known in England; and one
only was allowed in religious house.
one IN manor house, and one in the
great hall of castle or lords house:
but in other houses the smoke found it's
way ont as best it could. The writers of
the fourteenth century seem to have con-
sidered them as the newest invention of
luxury. In Henry the Eighth's reign
the University of Oxford had no fire
allowed; for it is mentioned, that after
the students had supped, having no fire
IN winter, they were obliged to take a
good run for half an hour, to get heat
IN their feet before retiring for the
night. Hollinshed, in the reign of
Elizabeth, describes the rudeness of the
preceding generation in the arts of life:
"There were," said he, Every few Chin
neys; even in the capital towns the fire
was laid to the wall, and the smoke
issued out of the door, roof, or window.
The houses were walled and plastered
over with clay, and all the furniture and
utensils were of wood" In 1859 a tax
OF two shillings was lald on chimneys.
