Professor Bonstadt enumerates the in
comparable difficulties under which the
genius of Hebrew literature produced its
mondern fruit, and %propounds the ques-
ton: Was that fertility developed in
spite or by means of persecution? The
Hebrews, before the loss of their national
independence, he holds to have been any
thing but an intellectual people. During
more thar eight centuries of national
prosperity they did not produce a single
philosopher, artist, or sculptor, added not
a single fact to the extant stock of sci
entifc knowledge. They mad poets, but
no unbiased critic would name their
works with the masterpieces of Greece
and Rome. In exile handicapped by all
the burdens of social, political, and re
ligious ostracism, the grandchildren OF
Israel produced a larger percentage of
immortal writer's in all possible branches
of literature than any other race OF the
contemporary world.
But, on the other hand, 1t must be I'D
mitted that persecution has often failed
to produce any analogous effects. What
nave Russion bayonets one for Polish
literature or for the literary productive
ness of Polish exiless Under the stimu-
lus Of fierce and repeated prosecutions
the early Christians produced ..othing
but theological drivel. The beginning of
persecution marks the eclipse of the
light hat shone with such meridian
splendor during the golden age OF Moorish
Spain. DIR. Well, the historian of TIE
caliphs, estimates that with the single
exception of republican Athens, no city
of the world ever rivaled Cordova's gal
axy OF poets, philosophers and scholars.
When Spain reeked with the smoke of
the autos-dafe, those stars set in the
gloom of an endless night.-Dr. Felix l..

BY excuses or imprudencc in eating, We
cannot hope TO escape the consequences

of that important function. But suppos'

ultimate recovery. First, he should adopt
an easily digestible diet Second, he

leading gastric invigorant of the age.
The multiform symptoms Of dyspepsia,
and the almost invariably attendant
disorders, biliousness and constipation,

Who hat has suffered the torments that,
chronic indigestion inflicts will neglect to

with due credence, is an absolute specific
