JEW AND GENTLE.

Baron HERsCH, Hebrew banker Of
Paris, has caused quite sensation
among those of his 'household of faith"
by devoting the munifcent sum of
$20,000,000 for the establishment of
schools in Russia and Austria, in which
Hebrew children shall be admitted in
common with those of Christians. His
idea is that the time has come for break
ing down the walls that have so lorg
divided the ancient people from the
masses among whom they live. He
says to a newspaper correspondent:
1.-The Jewish question can only be
solved by the disappearance of the jew
ish race, which will inevitably be ac-
compIished by the amalgamation of Chris
tians and Jews" The object is not ap-
parently to destroy the Hebraic relig-
ious system, but to shape the social re-
suits of Christianity and remove the iso-
Iation of the children of the ancient
coven ant. In this country, probably,
the tendencies toward common grounds
are more marked than in the old world.
The first day has been practically sub
stituted for the seventh. A transition
period is evident.

FEASIBLE BUT COSTLY.
Four Dams in the Ohio River
Would Cost Many Millions.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The secre-
tary of war to-day sent to the house a
report of the board of engineers appoint
ed in accordance with the require
ments of the provisions of the river
and harbor act to examine the Ohio
river below Pittsburg. The report
states that the average number of days
in each year during which the Ohio
river is navigable for coal boats draw
ing six feet of water is 155. Col. Nor
rilI states that it may be assumed fairly
that the four additional dams now
proposed would give an average
increase of available coal boat
water of more than one month,
with possible maximum of three
months. The increase in the capacity
Of the river transportation of coal, ac-
cording to Col. Merrill S estimate, might
amount to an average Of two-fifthS, or
25,973,2OO bushels annually. The esti-
ment is s6,000,000. The examining
board say;
'While it may be feasible to improve the
river throughout its entire length by means
Of slack-water system, it does not seem ad-
visable to adopt such system for the lower
portion OF the river at present, put the board
believes it practicable and desirable at pres
ent to extend the slack-water system of i'm
provement on the Ohio to point below the
mouth of the Beaver river. twenty-five
miles below Pittsburg and thinks the use of
movable dams necessary and justified by the
experience already gained at the Davis
Island dam. 1t recommends, accordingly.
that dams be located approximately as fol-
lows: At Merrimen's bar; at the Trap, near
Economy, and just below the mouth of the
Beaver river. Col. Casey states that the

PEW AND PULPIT.

It was a recent observation of a st.
Paul divine that ability in the pulpit
would avail little unless there was also
ability in the pews. 1t is not encourag
ing to the preacher when his hearers
seem unable to follow him. Some pew
holders, however, are too literal in their
views of the situation. A wealthy and
well-fed church pillar in Boston. who
fills one of the higheSt-priced pewS,
lately complained of the preacher for
looking in another direction, and not APP
parently noticing him. In case quite
similar in Chicago the grievance was
that the piercing eye of the speaker
seemed to rest on him as the specially
sinful culprit. There is some advantage
in such cases in having a cross-eyed
preacher, as one cannot be quite sure
where his optics rest. The method OBJ
served often with devout deacons, Of
gently closing the eyes at the commence
ment of the sermon. is not always pru-
dent for those not experts, AS it might
involve suspicion Of somnambulism.
In st. Paul churches as generally OBJ
served, however, there are able hearers
as we'll as preachers,

A respectable man in poverty.

Poverty is mighty offensel
If man steal wealth in golden piles
The world looks on with indulgent smiles;
If he steal to still the hungry cries
OF starving babes and wife's sad signs,
He merits the scorn of the ugly frown

CHINESE PECULIARITIEs.

Some of the Chinese are catching on
to things in a way that indicates a
capacity to develop into useful cam
paign workers. The officials on the
northern line on the Pacific have had a
hard time to keep up with their SNUG
Cling devices. They smuggle men and
women, if those are suitable terms for
the heather adults. One of the tricks
that has been III operation for long
time has recently been detected by the
officials. They had observed with sur
prise remarkable number of squaws
coming over from British Columbia, and
finally arrested some of them. On in
vestigation they turned out to be China
men painted and made up as good rep
reservations of the squaws of that sec
ton. In one case they found two Chi
nese women yelled as American ladies,
whose wells the officials were ungallant
enough to raise. They were billed to
San Francisco, and estimated to be
worth $1,000 each to their owners when
delivered there.

FREE SITTINGS.

At the beginning of the year the mat
ter of pew rentals IS under discussion
in the cities more or less. The more
common practice in New York and
Brooklyn is to rent the pews at fixed
valuations. A few insist upon the free
seat plan. DR.. TALMAGE's tabernacle,
until the past two years, had free seats,
but they are now sold at auction to the
highest bidder, as was the practice in
Plymouth in BEECHER's time, but has
since been changed to the fixed valua-
ton plan, and the revenues have fallen
off one-half or more-due mainly. of
course, to the loss of BEECHER. DR..
RAINsFoRD, of st. Georges church,
strongly insists upon free pews. He
states in one of the papers that he re-
CARDS their absence as lone of the very
weakest spots in our modern Protestant
ism," and churches that do not invite
strangers he regards as but religious
clubs" On recent Sunday the pastor
of the st. Paurs Peoples church spoke

A JOVIAL CENTENARIAN.

1t is related that a jovial Irishman in
the East during the recent holidays
celebrated his centennial with the aid
of $50 of his descendants, told stories,
laughed, led the dance and interspersed
it with lively jigs, and kept it up all
night, with no more effect than upon
any of the young participants. The old
fellow may go right on living and dane
ing and not be worth a cent to any of
the sanitary or reform movements, for
he has always been a free but not in
temperate user of whisky and constant
consumer of tobacco, both chewing and
smoking. But he cannot always violate
the laws of nature and rules of prohibit
tory states with impunity. His system
will break and the physical machine
collapse before another 100 years if he
does not put on the conservative check.
