system of Hebrew Charity.

The system of Hebrew charity in every
large city is founded on common sense
and business principles. 1t is in no wise
calculated to encourage pauperism, but
does relieve worthy distress. Money is
rarely given to the applicant. If he is
able-bodied, employment is secured for
him, he being provided in the meanwhile
with boarding house. He must do
something, if it is no more than to stand
on the street with tray containing ten
dozen bone collar-buttons at cents per
dozen, until something better is secured.
No Hebrew is ever allowed to go hungry
or to want place to sleep, but he must
give quid pro quo, either in deed or
will. The little stock of goods he is fur
nished with he pays cash for to the re-
lief society. The profits he keeps. Many

The Pertis Of Self-Sacrifice.

That was profound remark which
Charles Lamb made about himself in re-
gard to his close and arduous super
vision. for many years, of his partially
insane sister. He said-I quote from
memory-that though this way of life
"had saved him from some vices, it had
also prevented the formation of many
virtues" No person can spend tho
greater part of his time in a CONSTRAINED
position, or with tight igature round
some portion of his body, without suf-
fering some physical retribution; and if
the constraint and repression are applied
TO the mind instead, that also suffers.
Every human being is entitled, within
certain limits, to live his or her own le-
ultimate life; and though this may easily
be made an excuse for the basest sefisls-
ness, the habit of invariable self-sacri-
flee brings perils of its own just as
marked, if less ignoble. There is a GER
tain charm in it, no doubt-in feeling
that self is absolutely annulled, that we
live only for others, or for some one
other. But this is, after all, to quit the
helm of our own life, so that our vessel
simply drifts before the winds of destiny.
The true skill is seen when we sail as
closely as possible in the face of the OPP
posing gale, and thus extract motive
power from the greatest Obstacles

JAPAN A WoNpRous GARDEN.
A Spring and Summer OF Picturesque
..s. Beauty-Trees I'm Bloom.

A Spring and Summer OF PICTURESQUE
..a. Beauty-Trees I'm Bloom.
The spring and summer in Japan is
full of picturesque beauty, and yields
an atmosphere of delicious comfort.
The skies drop gladness, and the earth
teens with loneliness. Its garden pict-
ures are changing as a kaleidoscope. The
terraced hill-sides rank with verdure,
vie with wheat-fields bending meath
their load of grain; some just cut and
supplanted by rice, in fields flooded with
water, while other, green with the ten
der shoots, are ready for transplanting.
When the seasons are unusually dry
nothing is left to suffer. The reservoirs
are so large, and the irrigating system
SO complete, that Japan's wondrous gar.
den smiles on beneath scorching rays.
The trees of Japan are a wonder. Here
is the "mockungi," with its purple bell
shaped flowers; also the magnolia, with
its rich white and purple clusters. Queen
among the trees towers the camelia.
Some of these are sixty feet high, and
are covered with blossoms from January
to May, of many varieties, from the large
pure white. resembling double rose, to
various shades of pink and red. The
cherry and plum trees are cultivated
solely for their blossoms, and are trees
of rare beauty. The former grows
thirty feet high and as many broad, its
branches covered with red and white
flowers, two inches in diameter, and per-
Tuning the air at great distance. Its
petals of snow and cream, falling in
showers, spread many carpet for the
feet on the stone paths leading to the
temples, verifying the native poet when
he says, There are snow showers which
do not descend from the skies" The
plum tree is par excellence the poets
tree. Often it is seen standing leafess in
the snow, yet adorned with blossoms
like bride. The tree bursts into soft
clouds of bloom and fragrance in Febru-
airy. but without leaves.
Along the hillsides naples and pines
are covered with vines of exquisite love-
illness, trailing and INTERVIEWING with be-
wildering intricacy; among these are the
wistaria and thumbergia, with their pur-
pie stars and tufts. From the verdant
valleys to the tops of the mountains are
seen lilies, pinks and roses of endless va
riety. The grass is studded, the flowers
spring even from the quaint, artistic,
matched roofs of the tea-houses, asking
leave only to grow and bless the light.
These tea-houses seem idyllic. They
are national institution, for they are
everywhere, as the people are every
where; along the city streets, by the
roadside, in the groves, woods, parks.
valleys, and up the mountain side.-

IDEAS ON THE IDEAL EYE.
An Old Philosopher Gives His Opinion
of Different Colored Optics.

An Old Philosopher Gives His Opinion
of Different Colored Optics.
Character reading by the color of the
eyes is comparatively new study, but
is steadily gaining in favor" said an old
gentleman the other day as he sat on one
of the benches in Madison square and
watched the hurrying throng go by.
I've been studying eyes for the last
half century," he continued, and can
tell you that blue eyes, and green eyes,
and all the other kinds were not made
for nothing. They were colored to as
sist people in reading the character Of
their owners, and little knowledge of
what the different colors denote will be
found of great assistance in ife."
What do you consider the most beru-
tiful eyes?" was asked.
well, they're very scarce" said the
old gentleman, letting his eyes wander
over the half dozen faces before him.
"Not one here has got the ideal eye. It's
perfect violet or a velvet brown as soft
and gentle as does. Violet eyes are
very rare. 1 don't mean deep blue eyes,
but genuine purple eyes. Babies have
them sometimes, but I've only seen one
or two women with them, and never =
man. They denote too perfect charsc-
ter for Undergraduates, intelligence. de-
votiop, and boundless faith. Those vir-
tues aren't often found in one person.
Brown eyes? Yes they are plentiful,
physically perhaps the most beautiful
eyes in the world. 1 think they come
next to violet eyes when they are light
enough to read feeling in them. Dark
brown eyes are too deep. They seldom
mirror the heart feelings, but are fine to
look at"
"Gray eyes are the most common in
the world; so what in general do they
characterize in the opinion of the eye
ologist?" asked youth with a pair Of
blue-gray orbs.
kinds of gray eyes, you know" said the
old gentleman. "Yours are one kind,
mine another. People haven't become
advanced enough to have move than
four or five colors to apply to eSss, so any
that aren't blue or black or brown or hazel
are called gray. You seldom see real
stupid person with gray eyes; but the
genuine gray-that is always found
among highly intellectual people. Steel
gray eyes with large pupils denote in
tense feeling; blue-gray eyes are general
among people with kindly hearts. You
never find a real mean spirit behind
pair of blue-gray eyes.
"I've made study of real blue eyes,"
he continued. They denote quickness
of thought, and generally fine physical
development, when they are large and
bright. About nine-tenths of our en-
gineers, railroad hrakmen. lighthouse
keepers. policemen, cadets and army and
navy officers, and many others selected
for physical perfection, have blue eyes.
Very few blue-eyed people are color
blind or near sighted.
Hazel eyes denote musical ability and
grace of person. They are very pretty
eyes, too, and then there are real green
eyes. They are not so scarce as is gen.
orally supposed; but I haven't made a
close study of them, or of yellow eyes
either. l hear the latter are very
fashionable, but shop,dn't imagine
yellow-eyed person would have nice
disposition. New York Journal.

Lamp of q Lighthouse.

A writer describes the lighthouse on
Assateague island. Va, as tapering
brick structure $50 feet high, built at a
cost of $150,0O0, with a lamp which,
with its globe and reflector, cost $4,000.
The globe is composed of series of tri-
angular French plate glass, circular
prisms of different radii, forming alto
gether an oval globe, which in the sum
light casts shadow of prismatic rays
and miniature rainbows, which are most
beautiful. The effect of this globe is to
magnify the rays of light. The lamp
consists of five cylindrical burners, one
within the other, the largest being about
six inches in diameter, and diminish
ing in size to about one inch. 1t pre-
sents pyramid of light which casts its
beacon rays far out to sea. 1t consumes

Artists Proof Pictures.

The artists proof pictures are always
gaod investments, because, as only
limited number are struck off, they be-
come rare after time, and the value
increases accordingly. The price is al
ways fixed by the publishers, who notify
dealers of the increased value of the
pictures from time to time. These
proofs are not all of equal merit, for,
although they are taken from the same
plate, those taken first are superior.
The first impression is signed both by
the artist and etcher; the second has
the autograph mark; the third and fol-
lowing ones are simply reproductions. 1t
is safe investment to buy proofs of
this kind and wait till scarcity runs the
prices up.-Dr. G. w. Hall in Globe

A Bo,utIfu1 custom in Tyrol.

In some portions of Tyrol a peculiar
and beautiful custom still prevails.
When girl is about to be married, be-
fore she leaves her home to go to the
church, her mother hands her. hand
kerchief, which is called tear kerchief.
1t is made of newly-spun linen, and has
never been used. 1t is with this ker-
chief that she dries her tears when she
leaves her fathers house, and while she
stands at the altar. After the marriage
is over, and the bride has gone with her
husband to their new home, she folds up
the kerchief and places it unwashed in
her linen closet, where it remains UNI
touched.
The tear kerchief has only performed
half of its mission. Children are born,
grow up, marry, and move away from
the old home. Each daughter receives
from the mother a new tear kerchief.
Her own remains where it was placed in
the linen closet on the day of the mar
rage, and there it remains until her
death, when it is taken from its place
and spread over the placid features of
the dead, never to be removed until we
are summoned to come forth on the
resurrection morn.-Chicago Herald.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Ohio Legislature met and
organized On last Monday.
| O'Neill, of GAINESVILLE was cleo
ted Speaker FRO TEN OF Senate,
and Entrekin, of Ross, chosen as
Speaker. The usual officials were
appointed. The House, which is
republican, in accordance with
the party policy chose a stout, j.,
hearty negro for one Of its clerks,
repudiatlng a number of wound
ed soldiers who were applicants.
Among line first moves of The
republicans is to turn out The
democratic Representatives from
Hamilton county.
This will make music in The
ark. The period of radical mis-
rule and reconstruction has
passed.
The Representatives from
Hamilton county holding cer'if-
cafes were elected. The Clerk
of the Court certifies TO that fact.
The Supreme Court Of Ohio sus-
tains the Clerk, and accepts the
vole at the election as legal. We
will see il a Leglsls:ure will defy
the people and the courts.
BuerhaMs was legally elected.
yet the scheme is TO displace him
and have Hooking county repre-
senied by a man who was not
elected.
The game Of fraud and bluff on
The part of the republicans will not
win now. Their revolutionary pur-
poses can not be accomplished. The
State House is not in dc niger, but it |
may be necessary to hang Il few of
,he scoundrels attempting TO over
:ide the vote of the people and dis
'egard the judgment of the Supreme
Court.
