The Poor of London.

LoNDoy, October 29th.-0n all hands il
is agreed that never has greater distress
prevailed in London than at present 1t is
not only among the unskilled, but suffering
extends to the skilled working class, and
there seems TO be no prospect of employ
ment for them the coming winter. Fore
men who have been in constant employ
ment in the same firm for fifteen and
twenty years have been turned off, owing
to bad times, and during the past few weeks
hunger and want have driven them almost
to desperation. If some steps are not taken
to relieve the distress the consequences
during the coming months are likely to be
terrible. All the thousands who are now
sleeping in the open air will be driven
TO seek shelter when the cold weather sets
in, and the workhouse and the charitable
institutions which are available are totally
inadequate in number. The Socialist lead
ers are taking advantage of all this distress
20 press for the adoption of several meas
ures, one of which at least is worthy of
special mention and commendation. 1t is
that one free meal day in the boarding
schools be granted TO ali children who de-
sire to partake of it. 1t appears from re-
port published by the Daily Telegraph that
over thirty per cent. OF the children who
compulsory attended school last winter
were lneIe WITHOUT having ndu IOOu-

STORIES OF A PARsoN.-Among the many
laughable stories tod of the late DR..
Kemper, of Nashota, Wis, are the follow
ing On his way home to dinner one day,
meeting one of the divinity students, he
cordially invited the young man to accom-
pany him, adding that he did not know as
there would be much to eat. The invita-
ton was accepted, and Immediately upon
being seated at table the doctor commenced
carving boiled ham that was doing duty
for the second or third time. why, my
dear p exclaimed his wife in surprise, you
have forgotten something. You have not
asked a blessing" Yes, I have, too"
bluffly responded the doctor. " I've asked
the Lord to bless this old ham all I'm a
going to-" His father was a clergyman,
who strictly enforced the rule that the
young scion should attend Sunday service
despite his tender years. Imagine the feel
ings of his dominic parent, when, pausing
at his study door, be discovered the young
man in the act of expelling large bumble-
bee, waving his small arms frantically in
the air and crying "Sh-h sh-h Get out

Fire at North San Juan.

NORTH SAN JUAN, October 2Sth.-A fire
broke out accidentally in Chinatown about
. o'clock this morning, destroying most of
that quarter. The loss is between 5000
and $4,000. Chinatown is isolated from
the American town, hence in this fire no
damage was apprehended to San Juan
proper. There was heavy rain here while
the fire was in progress.

A MERRY FUNERAL.-A merry funeral,
with music and dances, took place recently
at Jerusalem-a peculiar kind of funeral
which turns up every five or six years. At
the Sephardc synagogue in Jerusalem is a
chamber called 'Cheder Hognisoh." There
are preserved all the scrolls of the Torah
that have become useless also Mesusoth
Teflin, etc In accordance with an old
custom, these old documents are sewn into
bags or put in earthen jugs, and with music
dance and song are carried outside the city.
There is a large cave toward the end of the
cemetery at the foot of Mount Olive, where
they are preserved. On that day all the
stores and workshops are closed and crowds
fill the streets. They assemble in the syna-
gogue, where prayers for the Sultan are re-
cited. A procession is formed. In front the
Torah scrolls are carried under chupahs,
and at their side men carry burning wax
candles. Then follow about one hundred
men carrying the bags and jugs. At the
Zion gate the rabbi of the Sephardic syna-
gogue ascends large stone and recites
prayer for the Sultan, the State officers,
rabbis. and the congregations throughout
the whole work. Then the procession
wends its way through the Jeosaphat val
ley to the cave, where the bags and jugs are
deposited. The celebration lasts till late in
the evening.-The Jelgish Messenger.
