Coming downtown on west-side
car this morning was 3 working girl
who attracted general attention, not
only because she was very pretty. but
because she was exceedingly sleepy.
She had scarcely settled herself COM
fortably by the side of very young
and modest gentleman before her lus-
trous dark eyes began to close and her
head to droop. The very young gem
tleman glanced at his pretty neighbor
uneasily, as she gently sank toward
him, each iostle of the car narrowing
the margin between herrounded cheek
and his shrinking shoulder. A sud-
den clang of the bell brought her up
right with start, and the great eyes
looked with odd wonder at the pas
sengers, who hung above her at the
straps But even while she looked the
eyes again closed, the head dropped,
and again the youth took on alarm.
He edged warily away and blushed
guiltily as he caught the amused eye
Of the fellow across the aisle.
Pictures of young man sneaking
out of the front gate and a girl slip
ping upstairs with her shoes in her
hand at 2 a. m. formed in the minds of
the passengers as they watched the lit

mentarily increased. A faded bea uty
at the other end looked as if she had
known how it was herself. The dude
across the aisle seemed to feel as if he
would like to change places with the
unhappy youth who was trying to es-
cape the dropping head. The latter
evidently feared to halt, although he
dreaded to stay. He watched the girl
from the corner of his eye, twisting
himself into deformity to avoid the con-
tact that was inevitable. Finally, with
little lurch, down came the head and
rested easily on the youths palpita-
ting breast, the girls bosom rising and
falling with sweet regularity sugges-
tive of innocence and repose. The
youngster blushed furiously, the dude
groaned, the driver nearly ran over a
coal-wagon while glancing backward
at the seductive picture, the conductor
excitedly registered an extra fare, and
the elderly girl in the corner frightened
the man with the wig next to her by a
sudden lurch toward his shirt-front. 1t
was moment of suspense. broken at
last by the sudden rounding of a curve,
which woke the sleeper and released
the sufferer from his delicate posi-
ton. The girl looked hastily out OF
the window, made snatch for he1
gossamer, and hurriedly signaled the
conductor to stop. She had passed hel

The Hebrews Around the Globe


Mr.. F. D. Mocatta, in his recent
interesting lecture on Judaism, esti-
mated the total number of Jews
throughout the world as between 81
OOO, 900 and 1O,OOO,OOO In the United
Kingdom there are about 100000, of
whom seven-tenths are in London, the
great part of the remainder being in
Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and
Birmingham. Scotland reckons only
1900. Ireland only 1000. In the
British colonies there are something
less than 10000. In France there are
&c, 600 of whom 10000 are in Paris.
About 10000 were transformed upon
the annexation of the provinces to the
German empire, among whose 5O.OOO,-
600 Inhabitants 600, 900 belong to this
remarkable race. Jews are found in
large numbers along the coasts of
Africa, as well as in Abyssinia. In
America there are 100000, and Jews
are dwelling in Mexico and almost
every state of South America. There
are supposed to be from 10000 to 3d.
600 in Persia. 10000 to $4,000 in the
Khanates, and a like number in India.
Switzerland, Belgium, and Holland
have also considerable Jewish popula-

tine from other parts of the Turkish
dopinions and also from Poland, Rus
STA, and central Europe, which has
been going on from the early part of
the present century, is noteworthy
fact. The Turkish government is de-
scribed as showing an entire tolera-
ton, but is not now favorable to an
immigration into Palestine, circum-
stance attributed to fear of the inroad
of European ideas. The state of the
Jew in the Holy land is. according to
this authority, not 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 miserable livelihood
by small industries, apparently aided,
but in reality intensified in pauperism
or by the pernicious system of 'tHalu-
kah," or distribution of aims sent from
various countries which are doled out
among the Jewish population in small
sums

Antefopcs aud Cold Weather.

Among the novel sights along the,
Union Pacific through Wyoming is
that of great herds of antelope. One,
band which has been about Rock
Springs is supposed to number over
10000. A party went out from that
town one day and returned in two
hours with seventeen, which were all
they wanted, but they could have
killed many more. Another, party went
from Bryan and bagged thirty-six be-
fore they got tired of the sport, and
were glutted with meat So it is all
along the road, from Laramie to Gus
ter. Old railway men say that the
punching of antelope is a good indica-
ton that the winter is to be severe
one. They refer to the fall of 1871,
when the antelope gathered in great
herds and remained together during
the winter, which was the worst ever
experienced on the road. The same
was the case several other winters
which proved very severe. Not only
antelope but all other kinds of game
appear to be more abundant in the
West than for many years.-Sat Lake
