A Hebrew University.

Ii is said that incipient steps have
been taken 10 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 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. II
is understood that the institution is to
be based on Judaic law, is to bc 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. y

On one occasion some Boston friends

gave out word that on certain day il
would be christened. The day arrived.
and the surrounding farmers for miles
came to witness the event. A dozen
teams with aristocratic occupants came
down from Boston. 1t was expected by
every one that Webster would make a
great speech on the occasion, reviewing
the history of farming back to the time
when Cincinnatus abdicated the most
mighty throne in the world to cultivate
turnips and cabbages in his Roman
garden. The plow was brought out and
ten Oke of splendid oxen hitched in
front. More than two hundred people
stood around on the tiptoe of expecta-
ton. Soon Webster made his appear

CORK IN THE ARTS.
Its Application in the Manufacture Oi
Overcoats and UnderciOthing.

Its Application in the Manufacture oi
Overcoats and Underciothins.
The peculiar properties of cork which
have led to its application to many
familiar uses are probably still very i'm
perfectly understood by the majority OF
the reading public. A careful exposi-
ton of its nature by Mr.. William An
derson at the Royal Institution comes
therefore in good time, and opens up a
prospect Of wider and more important
adaptations of this singular substance
in the arts. The essential character
of cork consists in its rctentive porosity
with regard to air. In other words, it
is substance composed of fine closed
cells whose wall permit the gradual en-
trance and storage of air while they re-
sist its ready egress, or the entrance of
denser fluids. 1t is therefore not only
a gas-holding but gas-retaining SUBJ
stance, and as such possesses in a
greater degree than any other
solid the power of allowing cub
ical condensation from pressure
applied in ali directions II is pro-
posed In various ways TO carry out in
practice this explanation of the nature
of CORK. II may be employed. for ex-
ample, in hydraulic apparatus where
the air-laden cork will take the place
of air itself, and Mr.. Anderson was able
to show that in some cases. at all
events, it was competent to discharge
this function. A suggestion was made
that the porosity of cork rendered it
a fit substance for the construction of
overcoats. and greatly preferable to
in this respect. The lat
ter part of this suggestion We have no
in conceding, and we hope
that experience will prove that il is
wholly justifiable. Cork underclothing
has been advocated by some on similar
grounds; but this proposal does not in
our opinion guarantee the wearer the
and sanitary advantages which
are conferred by the use of wool. Lon

jHANeE OF WORK.


4 Very Satisfactory and Bens6cent Form
Of Reereation.
Change of work is one form of recre-
alton, because, it may be presumed, the
new employment occupies a different
portion of the brain, and the one that
has worked obtains rest Monotony Of
occupation is always irksome, no doubt
because certain portions of the brain are
exclusively occupied. A hard-worked
man should think no form of recreation
beneath his notice; he is fortunate if he
has really satisfactory hobby or two.
Talleyrand's representation of the kind
Of old age that awaited the man who did
not know whist, Is full of truth, if it be
applied to amusements and hobbies in
general. Perhaps its author would
scarcely have recommended whist for an
old man had he been able to foresee the
bewildcring notifications which have
been made in the way of playing the
game. In this. as in other things. the
tendency is to turn play into work

AN IMPERIAL ISLE.

Crown Prince Of Austria.

tho Charming Retreat Owned fy thu
Crown Prince Of Austria.
The Crown Prince Rudolph of Aus
Eia. 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;
Tor while the owner is in residence no
one is allowed to land without a special
permit Lacroma formerly belonged to
that most unfortunate of monarchs.
Eaximilian 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 1873. 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 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
thanks-offering for the stoppage of
great fire. AT the beginning of the
present century it was partially de-
stroyed by an earthquake, and has
never been thoroughly restored. The
scenery of the island is entirely roman
