A few years ago Miller and his wife

A Hebrew University.

1t is said that incipient steps have
been taken to founding in the city of
New York university with special
reference to the wants of the Jews in
this country who are seeking for
higher forms of education. Not long
since a large meeting of delegates from
different sections of the United States
was held in the vestry of the Nineteenth
Street Synagogue to take the matter
into consideration and determine upon
the feasibility of the proposed plan. 1t
is understood that the institution is to
be based on Judaic law, is to be faithful
to the ancestral spirit, and means to set
itself against the rationalistic tenden-
cies which have shown themselves in
our times, to cut loose from the old
Hebrew moorings. Well it has been re-
marked that las the seat of Hebrew
and Oriental learning" the proposed
university Twill be an important addi-
ton to our collegiate institutions.

SECURED HIS FEE.

How an Irish Surgeon Astonished Fash
ionabIe Youth.
A celebrated Dublin surgeon was once
known to give a lesson on economy to a
wealthy and fashionable young man re-
markedly fond of his handsome face and
person. He was sent for, and found
the patient seated by the table, resting
his cheek upon his hand, whilst before
him was displayed a tive-pound note.
After some little hesitation he removed
his hand and displayed small mole on
his cheek. ''Do you observe this mark,
doctor?" Eyes, sir. do" Il wish
to have it removed" ''Does it incon-
venience you?'' mot in the least"
''Then why wish for its extirpation?"
81 do not like the look of it, ''Sir,"
replied the surgeon, 81 am not in the
habit of being disturbed by such trifles;
moreover, think that that little eXcres-
cence had better remain untouched,
since it gives you no uneasiness; and I
make it rule only to take from my
patients what is troublesome to them"
So saying he took the tive-pound note,
slipped it into his pocket and walked
out of the room, leaving the interesting
patient in state of intense astonish-
ment.-MontreGt Witness.

early intimation of the impending

be made. Towns at least could be
reached by telegraph and telephone in
all parts of the Mississippi Valley by
noon on the days of danger, and the
saving of lives in some places would
compensate for a good deal of needless
anxiety caused by warning towns that
escape destruction. There seems to be
no way whatever of saving property

AN IMPERIAL ISLE,
The Charming Retreat Owned BY the
Crown Prince of Austria.

The Charming Retreat Owned BY the
Crown Prince of Austria.
The Crown Prince Rudolph of Aus
ria, in addition to many other desirable
pomps and vanities, has an island of his
own-Lacroma, in the Adriatic, oppo-
site Ragusa; and there in the midst OF
lovely scenery, surrounded by trans
parent sea, he is convalescing after a
recent indisposition. The isle, three
days steam from Trieste, is as beautiful
as Monaco. and quite out of the world;
for while the owner is in residence no
one is allowed to land without special
permit. Lacroma formerly belonged to
that most unfortunate of monarchs,
Macmillan of Mexico, who was much
attached to it, and wrote several little
poems in praise of its charms. After
his terrible end the island was possessed
by succession of ordinary people, by
one of whom it was sold to the Arch
duke Rudolph in 1878. The future EN-
peror of Austria lives at Lacroma in the
greatest simplicity. When Macmillan
bought the isle the only available resi-
dence on it was an old monastery which
had been going to ruin for q half a
century; and in this building the Crown
Prince and Princess live their simple
lives. There are but three good rooms
in the house-the drawing-room, the
ancient refectory. used as salon de
musique, and the drawing-room. The
imperial bedrooms are of very meager
dimensions, while the long-titled Dukes
and Duchesses of the suite have to be
content with the cells of the vanished
monks. The plain whitewashed walls
match the rough, serviceable furniture.
The monastery is said to have been
built by the citizens of Ragusa as a
thanks-offering for the stoppage of a
great fire. At the beginning of the
present century it was partially de-
by an earthquake, and has
never been thoroughly restored. The
scenery of the island is entirely roman
tic. Beneath sky which is rarely
clouded grows luxuriant tropical
egetation-groves of orange and myr-
tie, of aloes and figs; a true Gland
where the citron blooms. ''-London
