MILLIONS FOR CHARITY.
Baron HIrsch'r Muni1csnt Gift for tn
Benefit of Russian Jews.

Baron Hirsch'E Muniflcent Gift for the
Benefit of Russian Jews.
One of the most munificent gifts ever
made by rich man during his lifetime
is that of Baron Hirsch. He has given
S1O,0O0,O0O to the Emperor OF Russia to
found in Russia primary schools for
Hebrews and 100000 to be at the dis
posal of the Car for works of charity.
This money was offered to the Emperor
three months ago, but with the formal
tiles that monarchs will insist on has
only just been accepted, The three
months delay was caused by the En-
peror going to Copenhagen. He in
structed his Minister of the Interior to
report on the offer when the Emperor
should return to Russia. The report
has been made, and the gift has been nc
cepted. The $40. 600, 900 has been placed
in the Bank of England, and Baron de
Rothschild and Baron de Worms have
been appointed trustees for the money.
The interest on this money, which will
be about $500, 900 annually, is to be de-
voted to the maintenance Of schools for
Hebrews. One thousand of these
schools will be opened and they will
be able to educate in each school fifty
children, or in all $4,000 children.
Baron Hirsch is one of the wealthiest
Hebrews in Europe and has always
been famous for the large sums o.
money he has given to charities. He has
been particularly generous to the He
brews in Europe. He was born in Mu
Mich, but now lives in Paris with hi
wife. He had one son, but he died
few months ago. 1t is estimated tina
the Baron is worth $50, 1000, 600, ant
this enormous fortune he has accumu
lated himself, chiefly through invest
; ments in Turkish railroads. For som
time Baron Hirsch has expressed grea
sympathy with the Hebrews in Russia
There are about 100000 there. ID
thinks that if they are well educate
that things will change for them, an
they Wilt be much happier, and TO
this purpose he has given one-eight
of his entire fortune.-N Y. Mail an

Custom is the only apology that we
could possibly assign this week for at
tempting to write line this cold,
sleety, slick, wet time. Very many
people, as usual, complain of being
scarce of wood in a plentiful country,
for if there is anything that people
can enjoy in these flat woods, it is a
good fire at a cost of nothing save to
saw the wood and bring to the fire.
place. Certainly no man can enjoy
a greater luxury at SO small an ex-
pense. We can hardly estimate the
many blessings, as well as comforts,
that are to be enjoyed from sitting
around ones own hearth-stone look
ing at a good warm fire, especially
such cold, damp times as we are now
having. .'..
