The Meaning Of Life.

We are sent into this world to learn the
meaning of life, says lions Herald. The
present stage of existence Is not and never
has been satisfying 10 n single human
soul. Its best conditions fail to answer
the deeper needs Of man.. Something, we
feel. lies beneath and beyond this mystery
Of birth, and toll. and decay, and death
something which we are to lay hold OF,
however imperfectly, as the secret Of hu-
man life. The meaning OF life is pro-
found, Is mysterious, transcendinR. The
longer we live, the more indispensable,
and yet the more real, il grows to he. The
natural tendency of youth Is TO lodge
the meaning of life in material
things. Before the soul has ncoun
tered very much Of the mystery of
life-of the unrealness of what seems at
first to be the most rea thinRs-it finds an
almost adequate satisfaction in temporal
experiences; and the danger is that the
young man or the young woman will turn
from the spiritual Significance Of life, as
something too unreal and visionary, TO the
tangible and material. But as time flows
on the real meaning of life comes out, It's
spiritual significance unfolds, and, unless
n false tendency has been established, the
soul will turn from material to spiritual
things for its full satisfaction. Happy Is
that one TO whom the meaning of life II
revealed in youth, whose whole course Is
Godward and heavenward, sustained by
that faith which is ''the substance Of
things unseen."

Wealthy Jews in Britain.

It is fact that in Great Britain the
Jews are, taken collectively, far more
wealthy than the remainder Of the
population. Some little time ago fig.
ures were published which showed
that the average yearly income of the
Jewish inhabitants of London was
f1O6, while that of the whole of the
inhabitants of the kingdom, taken col
lectively, amounted to only 9S5 that
is to say, the Jews are nearly three
times as wealthy as the non-Jewish
residents OF Great Britain. Putting it
in another way, the Jews form only
one seven hundred and fiftieth part Of
the population, but have between them
one two hundred and fftieth Of the
national wealth. The following fig
ures show the matter looked at from q
different aspect:
One Jewish family in every hum.
'dred has an income of $50, 900 a year
or more. A similar income is only
enjoyed by one family in every 2, SOC
among the rest of the population. One
Jewish family in every twelve has ar
income of over $500 year, while
among the Gentiles the proportion u
only one in sexenty-fva--Once 9

Exercise. Not Medicine.

Boerhaave, the famous physician.
declared that man was more likely
to get well by climbing tree than by
drinking a decoction made of it,
leaves; that is, he thought exercise
better than medicine. 1t is on this
principle that the queen of Sweden,
whose nervous condition has given
rise to much anxiety, is being treated:
She is ordered to make her bed and
sweep her room, besides taking largs
amount of walking exercise. This
method-the "housemaid treatment,
as he calls it-has inspired a cynical
journalist with some suggestion
which are perhaps wiser than he
knows. He advises the "office boy
treatment" for the dyspeptic million
aire, the 'groom treatment" for thu
Crosus whose liver is too much with
him, the country postmen treatment
for the obese financier, the nurse
maid treatment" for the hysterica
woman who cannot stand child
cry, and the "old clothes woman
treatment" for the fine lady wh'
faints at the sight of powder. Prob
ably the treatments" would be ettica

regions he bores holes through hollow
