The Modern Jew.
Demorest's Monthly.

DemoresCS monthly.
1t is curious how the feeling against
the Jew survives the experience lit
orally Of ages. Wherever the He
brew race is known there is preju-
dice against it. This feeling is COM
mon to all races and religions. There
is less Of it, happily, in free countries
than in more despotic forms of gov
eminent. There is bitter prejudice
against the Hebrew in Germany,
Austria and Russia. In the latter
country they are cruelty prosecuted,
although the Austrian Jews control
the finances of that country. The
Jews have better chance in Great
Britain, which has had one of the
race as Prime Minister, whilea Roths-
child was recently admitted into the
House ofPeers. In republican France,
however, the Jew is almost supreme
in journalism, art, and politics, as
well as finance. The press of Paris
is almost entirely in the hands OF
Jewish editors and proprietors. The
Rothschilds are the most powerful
family in France, farmore so, indeed,
than the imperial or Bourbon aspi-
rants for the throne. An eXtrOrdina-
ry book, however, has recently APP
peared in Paris, which is an attack
upon this Jewish supremacy in
French affairs. 1t has gone through
over one hundred editions, and has
created an anti-Semitic feeling as pro-
nounded as that in Germany or Aus
tria, where the Jews are intensely
disliked because of their success in
acquiring wealth at the expense Of
their neighbors. In this La France
Juive the Jews are charged with RI.
pacity, insolence, and all manner OF
social and political crimes. So far
in this country, no special prejudice
has been createdagainst the Hebrews,
although they have increased in
wealth enormously within the last
quarter of century. OF course, theii
unsuccessful rivals in business do not
like them, but the mass of our pOpu.
lation has no feeling one way or the
! other. So far, the American Jew
confines himself to trade. He has
not, as yet, made his debut in poll
tics; but it is noticeable fact that 6

Wild Geese Made Profitable.

A Texas fellow put a half barrel of
corn and a quantity Of opium asoak
for about two weeks. Then he scat
tered the corn in theedge of the grass
where wild geese fed. The opium

he caught and tied 700. The fat ones
were slaughtered and the thin ones

Benefits of Walking.

Man of business, walk! 1t costs
nothing. Fill the lungs, expand the
chest, straighten the spine, throw
back the shoulders, stretch the limbs,
swing the arms. In doing this every
physical organ becomes naturally in
vigorated, and body and mind will
soon acknowledge the benefit so sim
ply attained. Beware of too much
comfort, and do not despise that ex-
ercise which, for man or beast, what
ever his condition may be, is best.
Walk; stroll. Avoid chairs; seek
the air, and find in it medicine for
the body better than drugs.

Scratching for'Eggs.

Tribune and Farmer
Scratching is better than feeding.
A hen may go hungry during the en-
tire day, and if given all that she can
eat at night, will lay better than the
one that has been fed three or four
times a day. A hen is in her best
condition only when she is seen in
dustriously at work. 1t is her natur-
al mode ofsecuring woodworking for
it. If given a place toscratch in win
ter, the exercise keeps her body warm
circulates her blood, and when night
begins to come on she will have an
eXcellentappetite. The great Difficult
ty we find in the way of most persons
is that Of feeding the hens without
compelling them to scratch. A lazy,
idle hen will lay soft-shelled eggs, she
will pull the feathers from her com.
panions, and cackle and make a great
noise at times as though she had laid
an egg, when in truth the alarm is a
false one. A tablespoonful of soft
grain scattered in straw, chaff, saw

LAKE wETTERN.
A Bit of England Transplanted to the
Middle of Sweden.

Bit of England Transplanted to the
Middle of Sweden.
One portion of the canal-that lying
between Lake Wettern and Lake Roxen
was perhaps the most beautiful of all.
The water was above the level of the
land, and we looked down upon road
overshadowed by trees, with a charm
ing country beyond, and fertile gardens
adorned with profusions of flowers OF
rich color that scented the air we passed
through. There were velvety lawns
and park-likc grounds, and orchards
laden with che'ry trees. We had found
nothing prettiel of its kind; nothing that
looked SO much like delicious bit of
England transplanted to the middle of
Sweden. fourishing under northern
skies. Every one went into series Of
crescendo harmonies of rapture, which
the Swedish ladies turned into FF dis
cords as they were waited out of reach
of those tantalizing cherry orchards.
On some portions of our journey the
woods were magnificent; large, fine
trees stretching far as the eye could
reach, many of them oaks of splendid
growth.
When night had fallen we reached
spot where seven locks had to be passed,
giving time for walk under the stars.
Yet few were enterprising enough
to leave the vessel Tall trees lined
the roadside. We went down the rap
idly descending pathway, leaving the
steamer behind us. She looked weird
and monstrous in the surrounding
darkness, yet cheerful with all her side
lights, and mast lights and cabin lights
red, green and white--fashing out in
the blackness of night. And watching,
every now and then. as one lock was
closed and another opened, one saw
her gradually descending as by some
mysterious process, ten feet in the
world; then moving on to the next
lock; and there stationary again for a
time.
We came to the end of the road, and
| apparently to the end of all things. A
tiny pier and a miniature lighthouse,
F.! from which flashed beacon over the
waters Of Lake Roxen. There was not
creature in sight, not a sound to be
heard, not a nightbird to cleave the

nitely sad and solitary hooked the lake,
/ its near waters dimly lighted by the
lamp in that small lighthouse. -Arqosy

STRING MUSIC.

The Piano Giving Way to the Harp,
1tA Banjo and Guitar. *8 g
The good old fashion which existed
many years ago of giving the harp the
place in the estimation of musically in
clined people, which has since been
usurped by the piano, is on the point Of
being revived. Every music store new
carries several harps in stock, and re-,
ceives daily inquiries concerning them.
when but few years since one was sell
dom sold. Now. numerous society
girls, disguised with the universally of
piano-playing and its monotonous char
acter, have devoted themselves to the
harp with results as pleasing to the eye
as to the ear. No more beautiful pict-
ure is capable of being portrayed than
a young girl, clad in costume which
does not too effectuallv conceal the
beauty of her shapely arms, bringing
sweet music from the willing strings.
Nor has this newborn interest in string
music been centered altogether in the
harp, charming though that may be.
Both the banjo and guitar hold the place
of great favorites. Indeed, more easily
learned and less costly than the harp,
they find their way into far more pre-
tentious instruments. Nor is the music
less pleasing. A banjo, light and deli
cate, seems especially adapted for fair
fingers. The most tuneful of music
seems to flow at will from its strings
when they are picked by one of our fair
sisters who is an adept in the art. The
interest and attention which the melody
claims from those of the other sex who
may be permitted to hear it under such
circumstances is sufficient to demon
strate that the innovation is welcome
and appreciated. For time at least
the piano has been retired to the back
ground. Des Moines fIa.) Leader.
