TALMUDIC ALLEGORY.
A Beautiful jewish Tradition Regardin
the Death of Moses.

the Death of Moses.
When Moses, the faithful servant O,
God, was to die, and his hour approached,
the Lord assembled his angels and said
''It is time to recall the soul of my mes.
senger; who among you will go and
summon her to come into my presence?'
Then the princes of the angelic host,
Michael and Gabriel, and all who stood
before the throne of the Lord, implored
and said: "Let us not 60, for he has
been our teacher" But Samuel, the
leader of the rebellious angels, stood
forth and said: 'Behold, here am /,
send me-"
And God sent him.
He descended in wrath, welding the
flaming sword in his right hand reioic-
ing beforehand at the agony of the
death throe of the righteous. But when
he came nearer he beheld the face of
Moses, 'his eyes were not dim nor his
natural force abated." The servant of
the Lord was writing the words of his
last song; his countenance was resplend-
ent, radiant with the peace and bright
ness of Heaven.
The enemy of mankind stood abashed;
his sword dropped out of his hand and
he hurried away. 81 can not bring the
soul of this man," he said to the Lord
"for in him have found nothing inn
pure"
And the Lord descended to summon
the soul of his faithful and beloved
servant. Michael and Gabriel and the
host of angels that stood before him fol-
lowed in his train. They prepared
Moses bier and surrounded it; and the
voice was heard, Fear not, / myself
will bury thee" Then Moses prepared
himself to die and sanctified himself.
And the Lord called unto his soul and
said, "My daughter! one hundred and
twenty years is the term allotted for thy
inhabiting my servants earthly tene-
ment The timo is expired, come forth,
and tarry not"
And the soul of Moses answered and
said, so Lord of the universe! / know
that Thou art God, the sovereign Ruler
of all spirits and of all souls, and that
the living and the dead are alike in Thy
hands. From Thee / received Thy
glorious law; saw Thee in the flame
girt with Thy power l entered the
palace of Egypt's king; took the crown
from off the head of the proud Pharaoh
and did manifold signs and wonders in his
land. j led forth Thy people and parted
the sea; and have made known Thy
will unto the sons of man. l dwolt be-
meath the throne of Thy glory; my tent
was under the pillar of fire, and have
spoken to Thee face to face, as a man
speaketh with his friend. And is not all
this enough for me? Receive me, there
fore, for now come to Thee"
The breath of the Most High touched
the lips of Moses, whose soul departed
In the touch. So Moses died at tho
north of God, and the Eternal buried
him; and mo man knoweth of his
sepulcher unto this day."-Jewish Mes.

An almost increditable affair took
place the other day in Shamokowa. says
the Spokane Falls Spokesman. Frank
Warren's little child was attacked and
dangerously injured by rooster Here
is the local papers account: THE bird
is of Leghorn variety and very vicious
and never hesitates to attack any one
that comes within his reach. The child
which is about year and half old,
was out in the yard, whom the rooster
attacked her. Knocking her down and
inflicting with his spurs two deep gashes
over the left temple and making an
ugly wound over the right eycball."

A Farmer Gives HIS views ON an Impor-
tant subject.
There is no labor more universal
among cultivators than the attempted
destruction OF weeds, and there is none
which is commonly gone about with
more irregularity and want of system.
Weeds infcst nearly all cultivated
grounds, and their destruction Is gen-
orally attempted after they have grown
foot high, more or less, either by
aborous hand labor, or more rapidly but
more impcrfectly with the work of
horses. In the garden 1t is mostly per-
formed, If at all, by the hand; in the
large corn field the plow and cultivator
turn over or scar up the large weeds
and leave many untouched.
The true nm uagement should be the
commencement of this labor with the
planting or sowing Of the crop. The
young weeds should be destroyed be-
fore they reach the light The soil has

Cut the Children,s Hair.

The only way to keep a boys hair
healthy, says a New York expert on
hair, is to cut at regular intervals,
keeping it at a reasonable length, so
that it may v his head and pro-
tect it from cold or draughts without
imposing any burden on it. Boys
with exceptionally lusty and strong
hair might employ the Fauntleroy
long style of dressing it without in
jury, but to the average youngster it
was certain to bring some result in
the way Of an impairment of the
hirsute growth. The direct effect of
too much hair was to exhaust the
only secretions of the hair itself, and
so destroy its vitality. 1t also i'm
posed a drag on the little bulb or root
by which each hair is fastened in the
| scalp.
When this bulb is injured the
healthy life of the hair is at an end.
1t ceases to lubricate itself, and grows
dry and brittle. and at last falls out.
Even when not actually dead it is SO
| weakened that a slight pull or drag in
combing it will bring it out. The cut
| ting of human hair, and especially in
children, has the same foundation and
reason as the pruning of vines and
trees and the clipping of grass. 1t
prevents the sap from being distrib-
uted over too extensive a surface, and
by concentrating it's circulation
strengthens the parts to which it is
applied.

said that it was not so much the
lavish expediture of the ring govern
ment of Jersey City that was condemn
able; it is the fact that there is nothing
to show for the money. In almost
every particular Jersey City is years
behind the age-years behind it's own
position in point of population and
wealth. It's City Hall is a rattletrap,
its much boosted Police Headquarters
is an abortion. its schools are in many
cases a disgrace to civilization, its fire
apparatus is rotten and insufficient,
its paving is bad, its sewerage is
worse. The millions contributed by
its taxpayers are gone, but there is no
return.
The latest case in point is the break
down of our water system. Despite
the enormous revenue it brings the
city, it has been neglected an d allowed
to fall back until the population has
outgrown it, and now we are threat
ened with a water famine. There is
plenty Of water-such as it is-in the
Passaic. There is sufficient storage
space. The distributing facilities are
adequate. But there is not capacity
enough in the feed pipes to carry the
water the city needs from the river to
the reservoir.
This of course means another raid
on the city's credit. 1t is too good a
chance for a job to be overlooked by
Orestes Cleveland and his gang. One
of their plant tools in the Assembly,
Mr.. Boyle or Mr.. Murphy or Mr..
Kelly will doubtless pop up with a
bill next winter to give the dear peo-
pie more water. Then there will be
more bonds to be issued, more con-
tracts to be awarded to contractors
who ''stand in" with the Ring, and of
course more interest to be paid next
year.
Perhaps even a bigger water job
may be worked out of it. There are
queer stories afoat.

The Graham Assault.

Justice Stilsing's ruling is undoubt-
eddy sound, that if Captain Graham
was authorized to act as an officer in
arresting Bail-jumper Todd. he was
justified in resorting to force to secure
his prisoner. This reduces the case
to a plain issue of fact. Was Graham
doing his duty, or was he simply a
meddler in other peoples businessi
That is the question.
Now Graham held and presented
the capias for Todd bearing the sig
nature of the Court. 1t was handed
to him by District Attorney Winfield.
He presented it when he made the
arrest, and Todd read it through.
Then we are of opinion that the mat
ter, so far as Todd and the ruffians
who tried to rescue him were con-
cerned, ended there. The proceeding
was regular on its face, and it was
their duty to bow to the order of the
Court, concerning the authenticity OF
which there is not the shadow O
doubt.
They were not entitled to ask at thai
time whether Graham was a proper
person to serve it. A prisoner nigh
as well resist a policeman and defent
himself on the ground that he did no
know whether the officer was regu
larly appointed and entitled to weal

the law would afford him ample com
