Jews OF the World.

Mr.. +. ID. Mocatta, In his recent inter-
esting lecture On Judaism, estimated the
total number of Jews throughout the
world as between 5000, 900 and 100000
900. In the United Kingdom there are
about 100, 900, of whom seven-tenths are
in London, the great part OF the re-
mainder being in Manchester, Liverpool,
Leeds and Birmingham. Scotland reck-
ons only 1900, Ireland only 1000. In
the British colonies there are something
less than 90, 200. In France there are
70, 700, of whom 10000 are in Paris.
About 40, 900 were transferred upon the
annexation of the provinces TO the Ger
man empire, among whose $4,000. 900 of
inhabitants 600, 900 belong to this remark
able race. Jews are found in large mum
bers along the northern coasts of Africa
as well as in Abyssinia. In America
there are 500, 900, and Jews are dwelling
in Mexico and in almost every state of
South America. There are supposed TO
be from 40, 900 to so, 900 in Persia, 10000
TO 10, 900 in the Khanates, and a like
number in India. Switzerland, Belgium
and Holland have also considerable
Jewish population.
The influx of Jews into Palestine from
other parts of the Turkish dominions and
also from Poland, Russia and Central
Europe, which has been going on from
the early part of the present century, is
noteworthy fact. The Turkish govern
ment is described as showing an entire
liberation, but it is not now favorable to
an immigration into Palestine, a circum-
stance attributed TO fear Of the inroad of
European ideas. The state Of the Jews
in the Holy Land is, according to this
authority. not a happy one. There is but
little outlet for their energies. A large
number give themselves entirely up to
Hebrew studies, while the bulk Of them
exc out a miserable livelihood by small
industries. apparently aided. but in re-
atty intensified in pauperism by the per-
nicious system Of "Halukah" or distribu-
ton of aims sent from various countries,
which are doled out among the Jewish
population in small sums. London Daily

A Flosging Match in PersIa.

Among the subjects of the shah blows
and d~omineering actions are freely given
and taken without a thought of bad blood
lar pitched battle, or, more correctly, a
flogging match, between two gangs Of
Persian charvadras on the road near
Tabreez. II was a curious exhibition Of
meekness and ferocity. The fighting, il
it could be called fighting, was done with
sticks. One mar would hump his shout
ders and with a propitiatory grin retreat,
while his assailant rained upon him d
torrent of blows and grunts and impre-
cations. The rage of the aggressor be
coming exhausted, he would desist,
winding up with a torrent Of abuse.
Finding himself free from blows, the
other party would nSv bristle up in self
defense and begin to turn the tables on
his late a~ssailant, who, in turn, wAld
now retreat and grin and hump his back
There was no striking back, blow for
blow-no opposition. 1t was simply n
Aogging match, turn about. in which one
man would have his innings and then
another. ms sort OF thlnS continued
for ten OF fifteen minutes, when every
body seemed 10 think that enough blows
had been received and delivered, and the
party separated almost with good humor
But this WIS an affair between parties
of equal social rank; the Persian ryot
never strikes back at his social superior,
no matter how triiling the degree of dif-
ference may he between them. The serv-
ants Of the great man, too, are almost a5
sacred from resistance and attack as the
great man himself. A Persian peasant
would never think Of striking back at
the Khan farrash, wso lays about him
vigorously. on occasion, with a long
switch, much as though he were chasing
away cattle. Old and young receive

A BRILLIANT IDEA.


Mr.. W. H. Hines. Of Ashly, Pa, is
genius. He is man Of wonderful re-
sources, and very deep thought. The
telegraph informs Us that at a meeting
Of strikers on Friday evening, Mr. Hines
advanced novel proposition, the idea
for which he should at once proceed to
patent, lest somebody appropriate it.
The gentleman's proposition was meth
ing more or less than that the striking
miners and railway hands apply to the
county poor boards for relief; the
boards would have to provide for their
wants. and this would involve the levy
OF an additional tax; the owners of the
railroads and of the coal mines, being
the wealthy men. would have to pay
this extra tax, and thus be compelled
TO feed and support in idleness the
men they are trying to starve into a
compliance with their demands. Under
these circumstances Mr.. Hines thinks
the capitalist would soon yield to the
strikers terms.
The scheme is worthy the brain
ei q statesman, and the Knights
should at least makes its author
q master workman until they
can send him to Congress. But why
stop with the strikers in this matter
Why not carry the scheme into effect
to the fullest? Let every fellow who
now works for a living throw down his
implements and march to the poor
house, followed by his wife and little
ones and dependent relatives, and de-
maud support at the public crib. 1t is
foolish for man to toll andu struggle
for existence when so easy mode of
life is open to him.
It probably did not occur to Mr..
Hines that ia this country able-bodied
men % to the poorhouse when they
eannot maintain anding in the great
peregrinating mob of tramps. He
nrobab.y did not think the vulgarest of
the genus tramp regards himself as an
aristocrat as compared with charity
subjects. Mr.. Hines evidently does not
nm .erstand sthe truth, that the man
who can work but does not because he.
can become a public charge, despises
himself more than others despise him.
When any considerable number of
workinglnen go to the poorhouse, it
will b. something besides the
question of wages sends them there.
The :sct that the rich will have TO sup
merit them will not overcome in their
minds the other fact thstt they are worse

THE DEmooRArIc coSvENTIoN.

It is said to have been virtually
settled that the National Democratic
Convention this year will be held in
New York City. The decision is wise
one from whatever point of view it may
be regarded, and especially so from a
political stand point. New York State
is debltable ground. True, it was
carried by the Democrats in 1884, but
by a plurality so narrow as to make
nfemb of the party nervous when
ever they think of it, and to inspire hope
in the breasts Of Republicans. It is
also true. that at the State election las
year, New York vent Democratic, but
by a smaller plurality than three years
before. 1t so happens that in the COM
ing Presidential election Democratic
success depends upon New York. The
Republicans can elect their man with
cut Carrying the Empire State, but by
no probable combination can the Demo
cratic candidate get majority in the
electoral college without the thIrty-six
New York votes 1t therefore behooves
the Democrats to neglect no point which
can be turned in the direction of in
surfing success in New York. Such
impetus to the party as will be given by
the holding of the convention in the
metropolis ought not to be neglected
even for the sake of tickling some
other State or section. The west has
been bidding high for the convention,
and ordinarily it would be wise and
just to hold the meeting in some of the
cities of that vast region which is so
rapidly gaining control of the nation.
Now, however, nothing can be gained
by coming west with the convention.
The only western State which the
Democrats can expect to carry this
year is Indiana, and that State is praoti-
eally safe to the Democracy. At any
rate, the holding OF the convention
there would not materially help
matters. 1t is possible that the con-
yec ton might create a Democratic
boom in California, which would result
in bringing that State into the fold, but
the electoral votes there are so few
that TO gain them it would hardly be
worth while to endsnger New York.
If the campaign shall be inaugurated
in the Empire State, with New York's
fsYorite son at the head of the ticket,
then Democracy will enter the contest
with reasonably fair hope of Winning.

India-PaDer,

India paper, which the Chinese call
lshi, is made from hemp, .mu berry bark,
cotton, bamboo, rice straw, barley straw
and from the interior membrane of silk
worm cocoons Sometimes the whole of
the stalks of bamboo of a years growth
are used. The pulp is mixed, after it has
been prepared, with given portion of a
vegetable gum called hotong in China.
The paper is nodded in molds of fine
bamboo filament. Those sheets, sixty
feet in length, which the Chinese are said
to make, are supposed to be fabricated
by artfully joining several small sheets
at the moment of laying the paper.
When taken from the molds, the paper
is stretched upon a wall, hollow inside
and heated, the surface of which has
been coated with very thin mastic. The
application of the mastic is made with
brush, and this accounts for the streaks
and roughncss that appear on the wrong
side OF this paper. India-paper, being
too thin to bear handlinr or any strain,
is mounted on vclun, which serves as a
lining to 1t, and the white borders of
which set it OF as frame would do.
The sheets thus prepared are kept in q
dry place, far away from the fire, and

How to Cure HiccOughing.

Young women was seized with violent
hiccoughing. The attack was so aggra.
waited that it seemed as if the girl would
choke.
Various suggestions as to methods Of
relief were offered. One told her to
hold her breath as long as she could.
She attempted it and did as directed un-
til she beclme actually llvid, but she
could finally hold out no longer, and
gave vent to a mighty hiccough which
sounded like an explosion.

A Uniuue Kind OF Damb- Bells.

An Augusta boy who went regularly
to the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion gymnasium last winter became much
interested in developing his muscle. He
had been told the best way to do this
was to swing Indian clubs, beginning
with light pair and gradually increas-
ing the weight as he became stronger.
AS this would necess!tatc the purchase
OF several pairs of clubs, which he could
i'll afford, he hit upon the following
scheme: He was the owner of two pups
which. though small in size, possessed
to remarkable degree that tenacity of
grip for which the bulldog is justly cele-
brated. He easily TAUGHT each of these
to fix his teeth in the end of short
stick, and then taking one of the sticks
IN each hand he waved them about his
head in some of the simple movements.
AS the dogs grew his strength increased,
and now he may be seen in easy posture
performing all the graceful gyrations OF
an expert club swinger with two wooden
handles, to the ends of which a couple
of 1s-pound bul; dogs hang by their
teeth with death-like grip.-LesoastoW7
