AN ESTEEMED HEBREW CONTEMPORARY
FINDS MANY FLAWS IN CR9sUs.

There is a good deal of cant express
ed nowadays about the education Of
the poor, and we regret that it is creep
ing also into Jewish circles, as if the
education of Jewish wealth should be
less an object of solioitude than that of
the Jewish poverty. Sift men and
women closely, and the motives and
temptations of all, rich and poor, are
pretty much the same. The communi-
iy has equally to fear from the vices
and weaknesses of both classes, al
though money, ra'ment, fine houses
and influence can often spread a con-
venient veil over the failings of the
one.
1t will be a sad day for our commu-
nifty when "missionary" efforts are re-
stricted to the poor, while often the
sons and daughters of the wealthy
show perhaps more urgent need of mis-
sionary work in their midst. Jewish
society, unhappily, is so profoundly
influenced by society, in general that
the money standard is universally en-
ployed in our opinion of people. 1t is
utterly foreign to the spirit of Judaism
however, to nourish caste and develop
cant in its most obnoxious form under
the guise of charity. As has been well
said, the poor require justice, not aims
giving. At any rate the Jewish com.
unity has more to fear from moneyed
class without refenment, culture and
religious sentiment than from squalid
emigrants, will Qradully develop into
sturdy and useful citizens.

Mrs. Hamiltom's Parents.
WILLIAM STEEL AND HIS WIFE DENY THAT
SHE WAS AN ADOPTED CHILD.

Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton is report
ed to have said recently in an interview
that she was not the daughter of Will
liam Steel and his wife, but that they
had adopted her when she was baby
and that she did not know who were
her real parents. In recent interview
Mr.. Steel said:
"We live now in Dallas Township,
about two miles from Dallas village,in
Luzerne County. Mrs Hamilton was
born in Wilmot Township, Bradford
County, Pa. She was our child and
not adopted, as she claimed. Eva
lived in Towapda, l think, when she
was 1S years old and she claimed to
have been married to Walter Pars ons,
but did not remain with him a great
while. She has never had child born
to her that we ever knew of. Her
claim that she has daughter now
living, l3 years old, we believe to be
fabricated, and we cannot understand
why it is that she claims to be only an
adopted child of ours. l remember
that she worked for little time in q
store in Elmira, after which she went
to New York City. She came home
several times, aud man came with heI
whom they called 'Doty, and she claim
ed that he was her husband. After
wards we heard that she was married
to Mr.. Hamilton"

THE DREAD OF DEATH.
FACTS THAT SEEM TO PROVE THAT MEN
DO NOT FEAR TO DIE.

From the Net1 Idea.
Sir Lord Payfair, in letter to Jun
ius Henri Browne, author of paper
with the above title, says: "Having
represented a large constituency (the
University of Edlnburg) for seventeen
years as a member of Parliment,
naturally came in contact with the
most eminent medical men in England.
| have put the question to most of
them. Did you. in your extensive
practice, ever know patient who was
afraid to der With two exceptions
they answered NO
One of these exceptions was Sir
Benjamin Brodie, who said he had
seen one case. The other was Sir
Robert Christian, who had seen one
case, that of a girl of bad character
who had a sudden accident. / have
known three friends who were partial
ly devoured by wild beasts under apar-
emily hopeless circumstances of escape
The first was Livingstone the great
African traveller, who was knocked on
his back by a lion which began to
MUNICH his arm. He assured me that
he felt no fear or pain and that his
only feeling was one of intense curl
osity as to which part of the body the
lion would take next. The next was
Rustem Pasha, now Turkish Ambassa-
dor in London. A bear attcked him and
tore off part of his hand and part of
his arm and shoulder. He also assur-
ed me that he had neither pain nor
fear, but that he felt excessively angry
because the bear grunted with SO much
satisfaction in muching him.
"The third case is that of Sir Ed
ward Bradford, an Indian officer now
occupying a high position in the Indian
Office. He was seized in a solitary
place by tiger, which held him firm
ly behind the shoulders with one paw
and then deliberately devoured the
whole of his arm, beginning at the
end and ending at the shoulder. He
was positive that he had no sensation
of fear, and thinks that he felt little
pain when the fangs went through his
hand, but is certain that he felt none
during the munching of his arm

A DEER THAT WAS KILLED HALF MILE
AWAY.

My hunting experiences have, as a
rule, been very tame and uDinterestlng Z,
but / had one last month, when on my
vacation, which | think is worth re-
cording. had been tramping all day in
the woods about Louis Lake and the
little sheets of water of that neighbor-
hood in the Adirondacks and had bag
ged nothing of any consequence. |
was Just hungeriug for deer and just
as l emerged from bit of forest upon
the edge of one of these little lakes my
eyes fell upon fine stag drinking
from the lake, but opposite to me aud
fully half mile away.
1t was tantalizing, for ! am not a
half-mile shooter and, any way, if
shot the noble fellow he would only
dart back into the woods to die and i
would never be able to find him. But
l was desperate and raising my rife !
"bimmed' away at him.
The deer gave bound at the report
of my weapon and darted into the
woods, while set on my way around
the edge of the lake. | had not trav-
eled more than half mile when ]
came upon the dead body of my deer
He had run a third of the distance
round the lake toward me before fall
ing, knew it was my deer from the
popularity Of his horns.--Neao Yorl

A Rsilroad Diversion with Live Pegs.

A Maine traveller, who has been ira
Yelling through the Pine Tree STATE,
tells of fine beguiling little game
called "wayside cribbage." The game
is finished at fifty. One person takes
the right.hand side of the road, the
other the left, and both keep a sharp
lookout for objects that are specified in
the game. A horse counts one, COW
two, dog five and a cat ten, and are
claimed by the person upon whose side
they are seen. In other parts of the
state we would sometimes drive for
half day without seeing sufficient
number of animals to decide the game
but here upon almost every hillside
herds of fifteen OF twenty cattle would
bring shouts of triumph from the win
ming side.

In the wonderful wine cellar under
the Hotel de Vile in Bremen there
are twelve cases of holy wine, each
case inscribed with the name of one of
the Apostles. This ancient wine was
deposited in its present resting place
PCS years ago. One case of this wine,
consisting of FIVE oxhofts of 204 bottles,
cost 500 rix-dollsrs in 1924. Including
the expense of keeping up the cellar,
interest on the original outlay and in
terests upon interests, one of those
oxhofts would to day cost 555,657, $40
rix dollars; three single bottles, 2,273,-
Sl2 rix dollars; glass, or the eighth
part of bottle, is worth 340,476 rix-
dollars or $272,3S0, or at the rate of
$40 rix-dollars or S272 per drop!

DoN'T WEAR YoUR DRESS SUIr.-It
seems to be fact, says the New York
San, that the really fashionable men
of New York do not assume evening
dress every night. When they go to
the opera they put on the unconven-
tional toggery of the street, and, as a
rule, it is the cheap swells and the men
that pose who are to be seen in claw
hammer coats regularly after 6 o'clock.
The first night performance of fash
ionable nature will see thirty or forty
society and club men of unq 4estion-
able social position dressed in ordinary
street clothes, while lot of nobodies
sit soemnly In the orchestra chairs
wearing evening dress deceiving no
one but themselves.

Proper Bible Wine.

Alfred Speer, who has large vine
yards near Passaic, N. J. is extensively
engaged in preserving Unfermented
Grape Juice from the Oporto Grapes
and supplies it to many religious soci-
cites for Communion purposes. The
following is from DIR. John Ellis, who
has written several works on b BILE
VINE: "The writer obtained from Mr..
Speer a bottle of his Unfermeuted
Wine and found it very pleasant and
nutritious wine. A chemist put a.por-
ton of this wine into retOrt and dis
titled and condensed about one third
of the contests of the retort. The dis
titled had neither the smell nor the
taste of alcohol, nor did ceEmical tests
Indicate any trace of alcohol"

Novel and Useful.

Retail grocers, and other retail deal
ers doing credit business are adopt
ing plan that is at once novel and
decidedly useful. They issue to their
customers, Coupon Books, (patented),
similar to Mileage Books for Railways,
but instead of the coupons being one
mile, they are for one cent each; the
value of the books varying from two
to twenty dollars. These coupons are
good for their face value in groceries
or other merchandise at the store of
the firm issuing them. When the
books are issued, the dealer charges
his customer with the value of the
book. When payday comes the Gus.
toner pays this amount, and meal time
uses the coupons for the purchase of
supplies, same as paying cash, thus
avoiding all disputed accounts and
saving valuable time to both the aler
and his customer. Every retail dealer
doing credit business should adopt
this plan, and should write the publish
ers for information, and if every Gus
toner would insist upon his dealer
using them, there would be much less
oc casiou for the disputing of accounts
