A gentleman came to me some months
ago and, showing good references, said
that he had just come to the city, was
in reduced circumstances, but had good
situation with large concern here and
wanted a few weeks credit. This was
readily granted, and he has ever since
boarded with me, but Notwithstanding
he has borne himself in every way as a
gentleman, he has never yet quite paid
me up. When his pay day comes he
always pays me portion of his indebted
ness, but though he has money over for
which he has no apparent use, he insists
on leaving a balance due until next time.
asked him the other day what he meant
by this and why he did not square up.
His answer was that he kept behind in
his payments on principle-that he did it
to insure proper courtesy and considera-
ton in the hotels treatment of him. He
said the little debt he owed me was a
constant lever which commanded good
attention and further indulgence, on the
principle probably that people will "send
good money after bad," and that he
never intended to square accounts until
he was ready to leave. wonder if the

No Drug to Cure Insomnia

have recently met with several cases
of insomnia due to over taxation Of the
American nervous system, and have been
requested to prescribe some drug that
would be effective to produce sleep and
be at the same time harmless.
No such drug exists!
There is not one medicine capable of
quoting to sleep voluntary life that has
been working ten hours at high pressure,
except it be more or less poisonous. Con-
sumption of chloral, bromide in some
form, or opium, has increased in this
country to an incredible extent, is still
growing, and large number of Ameri-
cans go to bed every night more or less
under the influence of poison. Sleep
thus obtained is not restful nor restora-
tive, and nature sternly exacts her pen
alties for violated law, more severe in
these cases than in most others.
Digestion suffers tirst-ono is rarely
hungry for breakfast, and loss of morn
ing appetite is a certain sign Of ill health.
Increasing nervousness follows, until
days become burdens and poisoned nights
the only comfortable parts of life. DR..

Tho Worlds Famous Trees.

trees of the world which is full of curl
GUS information. The African baobab is
known to reach the age of over 5000
years. At Chapultepec, Mexico, is large
cypress under which Cortez and his troops
rested. In the garden of Semiramis, at
Babylon, is a willow supposed to have
been there when the queen was alive.
The f'eustadt linden was 800 years old
when it was wrecked in 1882. England
has oaks 5000 years old. A walnut tree
at Balaklava, 1900 years old, is owned
by five families who gather from it an

JEWISH FUNERAL CUSTOMS,

Many Of Their Most Ancient Rites Still
Observed-Peculiar Ceremonies.
In their funeral rites and observances
the Jews have preserved many of the
most ancient customs of their race. They
still rend the upper garments in token of
bereavement, as Jacob did when in
formed of the death of his favorite son :;
they still seat themselves for seven days
on the ground in sign of mourning, as
Job and his friends are represented in the
Scripture to have done. They still eat
the mourners' meal, as their ancestors
did in Palestine; they kindle the memo
rial light to comfort the departed soul,
as they did, in all likelihood, ages before
Judaism was known; and they still re-
cite in public the mourners' prayer, every
repetition of understanding to rab-
binical notions-helps the deceased a
step further out of purgatory. In the
west as in the east these customs are
practically the same-we mean among
the great bulk of observant Jews. The
very wealthy and the more highly cul-
tured members of the synagogue are in
these things, as in many others, a law
unto themselves.
: The Jews rigidly exclude all relatives
from the chamber Of a dying co-religion-
FIST. Only strangers should be present
when the soul leaves the body. AS soon
as death occurs all the vessels in the
house containing water are emptied.
On the continent, in places where Jews
reside, the emptying of the water vessels
IN the public roadway is the usual mode
OF notifying that death has occurred.
rIhe practice had its origin, we gather
kfrom the rabbinical books, in an Old
World superstition that standing water
Fln such circumstances became the abid-
Ping place Of certain evil spirits whose
ipresence in the house was preiudicial

the interval between death and inter-
Inent the Jews lay the corpse upon the
pare ground with the feet toward the
door. The body is covered, but nothing

PIE placed under it. Then the two big
toes are tied together. On Sabbaths it is
not, however, permitted to remove a
body on to the floor; it would be work.
But as it is sometimes necessary that this
should nevertheless be done, rabbinical
ingenuity has contrived means of &C.
comprising it without violating the
sanctity of the day. A loaf of bread is
placed upon the corpse, and the two
together are lifted to the ground. It is
held that only the bread has been moved.
and this is permitted on the Sabbath.
Two or three hours before the inter-
ment takes place the ceremonial puri6ca-
ton of the body known as the tahara
takes place. 1t consists merely in pour
ing seven definite measures of warm
water over the body, while repeating the
words: 81 will pour upon you cleansing
waters, and ye shall be cleansed of your
uncleanliness; for of all your iniquities I |
will purify you" The body is then
placed in the coffin attired in a white cot
