columns to recount in detail all the
public benefactions of Sir Moses and
volumes to record his private charities.
In 1904, when the famine broke out in
Palestine, he collected 100000, went
again to the East and obtained from
the Sultan of Turkey frman permit
ting him to hold real estate in Jerusa-
lem, to establish poor-hCuses. and to
devise means for the promotion of in
dustries and agriculture. He made six
successive visits to ConstantinopIe.
each time securing from the Sultan
some concession for the relief of his
suffering people.
In 1863, by the assistance of the Brit
ish government, Louis Napoleon and
Isabella of Spain, all strongly backing"
him, he secured from the Sultan of Mo-
rocco frman guaranteeing to the per-
secuted Jews the same protection ac-
corded to the Christians. On his return
to London congratulatory addresses
came to him from every civilized coun-
try in the world, and the lord mayor,
aldermen and other city authorities eel
ebrated the safe return of the philan-
thropic octogenarian by a banquet In
Guildhall. His last visit-the seventh
to his proteges in Palestine was in
1866, in his eighty-second year, when
the country was suffering from drought
and the people from cholera. He ex-
pended vast sums for the relief of the
sufferers and suggested and secured
greatly improved facilities for supplying
the city of Jerusalem with water. As

his return he sent sums of money from
his own means to each of the syna-
gogues, colleges, schools, and various
charitable Jewish institutions in Great
Britain. The successive birthdays of
Sir Moses have been celebrated in Lon
don and elsewhere and the occasion in
1873 was specially marked by his re-
ceipt of ''the freedom of the city of
London" with valuable present in
token of his universal benevolence,
which has been confined to no class or
creed, but has been as unbounded as it
has been constant.
Sir Moses is to-day in reasonably
good health, though somewhat weak
ened by almost the only severe sickness
of his life, from which he happily re-
covered last spring. His mental pow
ers are unimparied and he daily devotes
himself to the vast business affairs COM
PEELED by his enormous inherited and
accumulated wealth. His own conf
dence in his physical powers and en-
durance is amusingly illustrated in the
round-going paragraph about bis just
renewing the expiring engagement of
his private secretary for three years

man, Sir Moses Montefore, filed out

rewarded life on the oath inst.

Primping Savages.
From the Kansas City STAR

A dozen genuine Indians occupied
the emigrants' waiting-room in the
Union depot this morning. They were
en- route for some point in Iowa to In
dian Territory. The room was crowded
during their stay by hundreds of curl
Gus travellers. Six of the savages were
in the employ of some travelling show,
but the other six were fresh from their
native forests. Strange to say, the wild
savages and the tame savages appeared
to enjoy each others company although
they met for the first time at the Union
depot to-day. They we're of different
tribes, but after comparing notes they
formed circle and smoked the pipe of
peace. One pipe was passed from hand
to hand until it had gone around. AZ
ter this ceremony each savage took out
a small looking glass and began primp-
ing. Their movements SO strangely re-
sembled a woman before a looking
glass that the spectators were greatly
amused. They held the glasses with
one hand and with the other they fixed
their hair, daubed paint on their faces,
and did it all exactly as a society lady
would have done it. They had all the
little turns of the head, the admiring
chances out of one eye, and the final look
of complacent satisfaction when the tot
let is complete. The most amusing
part of the performance was the fact
that the two women who accom-
panied the party did not have looking
glasses, nor did they have any occasion
for them. Their hair was brushed back
without ornament, and their ugly faces
were free from paint. The men were
fairly covered with paint, and their hair
decorated with shells and feathers. The
circus savage spoke United States, but
the untamed heathens could only con-
verse in their native tongue, and here
the experience of the missionary report
er who interviewed the Fiiians came in
to play. He had a very pleasant con-
versation with the scalp-raisers in their
obscure Indian language.

BBAIN-woRK when wisely directed
adds to rather than shortens life. No
class of men reach ripe old age more
certainly than the hard working pro-
fessors of the various colleges of the
land. Among no class can be found
more venerable men, or those whose
heads can be crowned with more honors.
Unlike men in other walks of life, they
do not light their candles at both ends.
If money-making and ambition were the
chief aims of life our college professors
and presidents have made somewhat of
failures. But who that looks upon the
venerable ex-President Woolsey, just
retiring from active work at Yale at the
age of SO, will say that his life has not
been a grand success. The same could
be said of multitude of others in this
honored class who have so wisely obey
ed Natures laws that four score finds
them men of more vigor of body and
brain than two-thirds of the men of
other occupations and professions ten
or twenty years younger.

Some Valuable Timbers.
From tie Memphis Appeal


The tupelo gum and the willow oak
are timbers that are destined to COM
mercial value never until recently
dreamed of. A gentleman residing in
Mississippi who has tested them thor
oughly says the first variety is almost as
soft and light as the cork of commerce,
and is the whitest timber in the valley.
It is extremely light and cannot be
split, and at the same time it is very
tough and tenacious and will bear a
very heavy strain. It will, some day
soon, be used principally for buckets,
bowls, pitchers, and trays; also for OK
Jokes; and for almost all kinds of water
vessels. For bread-trays it is the finest
in the world. The wood grows among
the cypress trees, and is far more
abundant and floats like a cork. The
water or willow oak is second only to
the live oak, and is almost an evergreen;
it takes the coolest weather to make it
shed its leaves, and it is almost as hard
when seasoned as the live oak, and for
the rim and spokes of wheels it has no
superior. For ship-building it is al
most equal to the live oak. Il have
tested the crushing capacity of this
wood" this Mississippi ian says, "and al
SO the TRAVERSE strength, and it is one
third stronger than any white, post, red
or black oak, and only one eightieth less
than live oak. And yet this wood has

The life of Sir Moses Montefore
reads like q romance. Ee was born
October "a, 1874, at Leghorn, Italy, and
not in London, as that usually accurate
authority, the American Cyclopedia,
states. The error is natural, since Sir
Moses is descended from a long line of
Italian ancestors celebrated as London
bankers for more than 200 years. Moses
was the frst-born son of Joseph Elias
Montefore and bis wife, Rachael Mo-
catta. The Montefores are one of
the Oldest and most honorable fami-
lies in Italy. Sir Moses was
brought up and educated in
the home of his parents in London, and
after careful commercial training he
YVES admitted to membership in the
Stock Exchange. In 1912, he married

They are talking here in New York
of the wedding of Tweed's daughter
several years ago. It is recalled be-
cause of the present run of singular
weddings. Nobody remembers the
name of the gentleman Miss Tweed
married, but we cannot forget the
wonderful wedding. Tweed was III the
very glory of his reign, and his only
daughter was the pride of his heart; so,
when she married, the presents were
equal to those princess receives. Her
shoes were buckled with great solitaire
diamonds. Her necklace was composed
of priceless stones. Her hair was radi-
ant with precious gems. Her wrists
and fingers were covered with dia-
monds of great value. Even her dress
shown in glittering splendor. It was
said at the time that her marriage gifts
amounted to over 100000. To-day she
shuns society; she makes no friends
she avoids the eye of curiosity. She
seems to feel the degradation of her
father, though, poor woman, she had no
more to do with it than you or I,

to avoid her, for she avoids everybody

THE mushroom is an innocent, guile.
less-looking vegetable, and because OF
it's peculiarly unsophisticated character
is highly esteemed by bon wants, who
like the juicy freshness of inexperience
and appreciate the staid qualities of age
in nothing but wine. But underneath
this apparent righteousness the close
ally of the toadstooi conceals the spirit
of malevolence, and we learn without
surprise that eleven students in school

MennOnites Choosing a Deacon.

From the Lancaster (Pa.) Examiner.l
There were eight candidates for the
deaconsbip, who were nominated few
Sundays preceding the day OF this meet
ing by votes from all the members of
the several congregations who wished to
vote, the voting being done verbally be
fore the. officiating ministers in ante
rooms to the churches. Rev. Christian
Riser and Deacon David Leaman went
to the ante-room of the Hammer Greek
Church and took eight books, placing
in one of them slip of paper on which
was written the authority cenferring
the title of deacon. Repairing to the
main room, the books were placed on
table before the candidates. Each of
the eight candidates then chose book.
A profound silence fell over the assem-
blage. Rev. Christian Bomberger began
opening the books, looking for the slip
of paper, passing successfully the first
man, the second, third, fourth, fifth,
and sixth, but when he opened the book
of the seventh the paper was found and
the suspense ir which the assenblage was
held was broken. Deacons are selected
when a vacancy occurs and this was the
last selected for a number Of years.
Hence the meeting was OF unusual inter
est and the attendance large.

A RECENT number of the Freetown
West Africa) Herald contains the
official report of the Colonial secretary
and treasurer, from which it appears
that the natives of that country are
making great deal more progress than
is generally understood. In Sierra
Leone, for instance, where there are
about $4,000 native Africans and only
271 white persons, the farmers number
$4,000, the traders 10000 and the
mechanics 2, 800. The church member
ship is put at nearly 5000, and the
school attendance at 5000. They have
a postal system in successful operation,
including money-order bureau and a
savings bank; and there are also hospit-
ais and asylums, prisons, market houses
nd numerous public bridges and other
evidences of civilization. The mission.
ary work of the country is now
mainly in the hands of the natives, and
the educational and charitable institu.
tons are under similar control.
