Cremation Among the Jews.

From the London Daily News.
Cremation has become controversial question
among the Jews Lord ROthschild is at issue with
the chief rabbi upon 1t, and opinion In the council
OF the United Synagogue appears to be so divided
that the subject has been solved for the moment
on the assurance OF one OF its members that any
discussion now would be OF an acrimonious nature
and would lead 10 no result. The original men,
ton OF the top was due TO the RECEIPT Of letter
from constituent synagogue as TO the burial OF
the ashes OF Jews in thOevent OF cremation. The
letter Was referred to the executive COM
mlttee. among whom strong feelings for aud
against cremation are reported 10 nave man.
lfeSted themselves. The result was q neu-
trail report TO the council recommending thai IL
should decline to answer hypothetical Questions
The president lord ROthSchild) read letter from
the chief rabbi, in which DR.. Adler expressed him
self most emphaticaliy against cremation as Op-
posed 10 jewish law and usage. He cited the first
verse OF the second chapter OF Amos with Its de-
nunciatlon OF Moab, "becaUSe he burned the bones
OF the King OF Edom into lime" Lord Rothschid

burning OF the bodies OF Saul and his sons in order
that they might not be subjected to any indipnity
He added that he would haze answered the uues.

sense favorable to cremation. One OF the members
declared cremation TO be the burial OF the futures
but further discussion was deprecated on the
grounds already stated.

From the National Review.
This looseness or dction leads to an inexcusabe
license in the invention OF new words. To save
time and trouble anything lying near at hand Is
snatched up and somehow is dovetailed into its
place. In truth, nothing is easier than this
process IL once you can persuade yourself that any
word may be forced to serve in any capacity, and
that bv slight alteration Of the termination, or
and adJectives may change places In moment.
But this amable reciprocity OF the parts OF speech
Is bewiidering. We seem to be going back, as If

A Few Odd NickuaOleS.

HOW DIsREPUTABLE MEMBERS OF VARIOUS PROFESS
sIoNS ARE PIIIORIED BY THsIR BRETHREN.
From the New York Mail and Express
"Did you ever notice, In quired lawyer, sthat
in nearly every occupation the capable worker has
q nickname for the bOteher who is engaged In the
same business? Take my business for an lllustra-
ton. The hrst-class lawyer is called an attorney
or counsellor, while the 'ne'r-dO-welr is termed
shyster. At sea an incompetent sailor is called a
marine; on Land the thlrd-rate actor Is called q
hamfatter or transformer; the shlftlesS news
paper reporter or journalist blacksmith; the
physician who never cures, the quack; the cheap
stevedore, Jumper; the looking glass prize
tighter, Deefer.
All the &c terms are used in reproach to make a
distinction between the good and the bad worker.
To call sailor marine Is worse than calling him
murderer You might just as well say he is
clumsy or ignorant OF his duty. At sea when
capt In calls one Of the occupants OF the forecase
a marine, the unfortunate Is made to come on deck
and shou der handspike. This is the worst kind
or punishment In the eyes OF an able bodied sea-
man. The term 's0Jer Is also used at sea, but not
for fncoinpetency, but TO a seaman who tries to
shrk his duty. These terms are recOgnZ d In the
courts too, for recall an instance when Captain
Murray, in an angry mood called lawyer OF San
Francisco a shyster. The lawyer began action
against the captain. The latter on the stand les-
titled that he did not call TIE attorney a shyster,
but shy sir. 1t was clever move on the part OF
the captain, but the court refused to believe him
and he had TO wv
