Superstitious Jews.

The most Of the Jerusalem Jews are
poor, and nine-tenths Of them are sur

made a tour through the Jewish quar-

different languages, and we went
through section after section of the city
In which Thousands Of these Jews lived.

His oongreSation Never Deserted Hln.
= A clergyman was lainenting tho fact
that his congregation appeared to b.
restless during his sermons, and de-
olared that many of the members Of his
flock would get UP right at n time when
hefancied himself most impressive and
would leave the house. p
That's bad" answered young
preacher, "but must say that I do not
experience any such annoyance. Not q

up and goes out during services"
"You don't say so!' the first speaker

Infant Foods.

At q meeting of the American Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Science
Dr. Frederick Hoffman spoke about the
food preparations now so largely used
for infants and children as substitutes
for mothers milk and other food. Ac-
cording to reliable estimates the guam.
tity of such artificial food annually con-
sumed in the United States amounts In
money value from about $4,000. 900 to
s10,O0O,000. The problem of artificial
food for the rising generation, and par.
ticularly during the first period Of its
struggle for life and survival, Is u very
important one, not only to the state. the
commonwealth and the family. but also
to the sanitarian and the chemist. These
artificial foods mostly claim to be per-
feet; few have been analyzed by inde-
pendent chemists, often with question.

Preserved in a Salt Mine.

In salt mine near Herlnannstadt, in
Hungary, which had for many years
been full of water and was visited by
tourists on account of its great depth
and its repeating echo, u recent heavy
rainfall raised the water to an extraor-
dinary height. Recantly number of
dead bodies appeared on the surface,
and they were taken out. with con-
siderable danger to those who undertook
tho task. They were found to be tho
bodies Of Hungarian Honveds, 300 Of
whom fell In tho battle of Viz Alma OH
the 4th Of February. l849. and instead
Of being buried were thrown into the
salt luke Of the mine. The bodies are so
well preserved that the wounds which
caused death may be seen quite plainly.
Two of tho bodies are headless.-Cor.

The Futility of Uniform Divorce Laws.

The Futility Of Uniform Divorce Laws.
The cry has been for several years for
United States interference in divorce
legislation by means of uniform mar
riage laws throughout the country, the
assumption being that people troop back
and forth from one state to another and
get divorces for causes which would not
be sufficient In their own states. But
all this has been effectually disposed of
by the recent mastery report Of the
Hon. Carroll D. Wright, the United
States commissioner of labor. He has
shown that more than 80 per cent. Of all
divorces are procured in tho states in
which the couples were married. AS re.
CARDS the remaining 20 per cent. the par
ties, in very many instances, had immi-
grated to other states after marriage and
become bonafide residents, with no
thought of divorce. So that the number
of those proved to have gone to other
states for the purpose Of securing di-
yorces is probably much less than 10 per
cent. of the whole. 1t is apparent then
that uniform laws can no longer be
looked upon as panacea.-Rev. M. j.
Savage in Forum.

An Interesting Discovery.

According to a London paper, "a dis
covery of considerable interest for
archmologists was mado at Contains dur
ing the cutting of a railway from Argen-
teuil to Nantes. One hundred and eighty
five plaster tombs of the Merovingian
epoch were found. The skeletons in
them are described as being in state Of
perfect preservation. One of the tombs
contained two skeletons, one placed on
the top of the other. An official COM
mission of the department of the Seinetet
Disc has gone to Contains to visit the
cemetery and to insure the preservation
of the historical curiosities It contains. {"

A Transpacif,o Cable

TIE Colonies and India, of London,
says that "the breaking of the Austria
lian cables and the consequent cutting
off of those colonies from communica-
tion with the outer world for several
days emphasizes in the strongest posi-
bic way the necessity of constructing an
alternative cable across the Pacific ocean
between British Columbia and Sydney
or Brisbane. The lesson will no doubt
not be lost upon our Australian cousins.
It is said that her majesty's government
has decided not to share in the guaran-
tee the>companies require in order to eff
feet the proposed reductions in the exist
ing cable rates, and 1t was hardly ex-
pected that it would do so. It might,
however, view with greater favor the
laying of the new line, and the subsidies
the colonies aro now asked to give for
perpetuating for time the monopoly Of
the old line, with assistance from Cam
ada and from the imperial government,
would, 1t is believed, permit of arrange
ments being made for the construction
of the Pacific cable, and probably insure
reduced tariff by both lines"

Tho Jows and JSrusslcm.

The Jews believe that Palestine will
again come into their hands. They thus
read the promises of the Bible, and there
are thousands Of these Jews of Jcrusa-
lem who have come here to wait the day
when the Lord win descend to earth and
take his chosen people out Of tho hands
of tho Turks and again build up their
city. Upon the ruins Of Solomon's tenn
pie now stands the great mosque Of
OHar, which is to the Mohammedans
the holtest place outside of Mecca.
A great wall Of stone surrounds this
temple plateau, and this wall is believed
by antiquarians to have been part Of
tho old temple wall. Inside of this wall
q Jew can never come, and though it be
the hottest Of holy places to him he can
never look upon 1t. Turks In uniform
guard the gates, and only secured ad-
mission through letter to the sultan's
governor Of Jerusalem, who sent me
with guard of Turkish soldiers to go
through.
It is the custom of the Jews, however,
to go OH certain days Of every week to
a place outside this wall, and there, lean
ing with their heads against the stone,
they vail over the loss Of Jerusalem,
and pray God to give back the land to
his chosen people. This Is known as the
Jews wailing place. and when ! visited
IL l found about fifty men In long gowns,
and like number of Jewish women
with shawls over their heads, weeping
and praying. Many Of the men had
white boards, and the curly locks in
front of their ears were Of spun silver.
Others had boys with them. Some
were in their prime, and the tears-gen-
uine tears-ran down the faces of all,
and some Of them were convulsed with
sobbing as they leaned there and prayed.
Tho wailing of one old Jewish woman
rings in my ears to this day, and the
whole cut an impression into my men,
ory that can never be effaced.-Frank
G.. Carpenter in National Tribune.

No Tail. Poor Thing.

There was born on the ranch of Victor
Piezza, near town, last week, calf with
absolutely no tail, and otherwise per-
fectly formed. This freak of nature is
owned in Santa Rosa. His calfship
starts out in the race Of life against al
most overpowering odds-odds sufficient
to discourage any ordinary or average
calf, but this calf is by no means IN Or
dinary one, and he will probably make
his mark In life. It would be an act OF
simple justice to see that this particular
calf is given more than his usual share
of ropo on every possible occasion.-Se-
bastopol Times.

A Tobacco Hatar.

Tho late Hon. David Dudley, Of Presque
Isle, was great tobacco hater. He
would not sell the weed In his store and
would not allow any one to smoke on his
premises. While Hon. Hannibal Ham
lin was vice president he visited Presque
Isle, and being well acquainted with MI.
Dudley called on him. The honorable
vice president was smoking cigar when
he entered the shop. Mr.. Dudley, glad
to see him, shook him by the hand and
then said, ''Mr. Hamlin, the boys and
men all know that don't allow smoking
in my store, and to be consistent must
ask you to either throw away your cigar
or step out on the platform" All present,
Mr.. Hamlin included, respected him tho
more for his manly courage.-Lewiston

A Now Way :. Fish.

A New Way % Fish.
Qutp novel mode Of catching fish
was invented by a youth In Aichgan re-
Gently,
He was bathing, when he perceived in
the water little way beyond him q fish
Of unusually large proportions swim
ming along within very short distance
Of tho bank and rapidly approaching
him. As he saw the magnificent speci-
men Of the sturgeon species the thought
of securing It without the usual imple-
ments flashed across his mind, and he de-
termined to make one effort to secure
the ''1nonarch Of the lakes"
As the fish approached the bank on
which the boy was standing the latter
prepared to dive, and before the sturgeon
was quite opposite the youth gave a
leap, plunge and dived beneath the
water. Ere the astonished sturgeon
could either escape or recover from the
CONSERVATION caused by the sudden dis.
turbance of the waters he was prison
er In the arms Of the youth, who could
with difficulty retain his hold of his
slippery customer.
The struggles Of the now desperate
sturgeon were now pertinacious and
nearly crowned with victory, though
they became almost entirely Intellectual,
and were rendered completely 80 by the
MD Of companion Of the boy, who ran
to his assistance.
Their united efforts soon completed the
victory over his sturgeonship, and laid
him painting on the bank, a proof of the
triumph of muscle.
After resting while from the fatigue
caused by the combat under water they
carried the sturgeon home, where 1t was
weighed, turning the scales at just
seventy ds.-Exchange.

An Electrical rime Stamp.

Wall street is interested in novel
contrivance for registering the exact
time OF the consummation of bargains
It is always necessary and sometimes
vitality important to brokers to know the
very minute of the hour when transac-
ton is legally completed. At times the
official quotations Of some stock or other
change SO suddenly and show such a
great degree Of variance that large losses
and big lawsuits have been occasioncd
BY the inability of the contracting par
ties to determine or agree upon the time
Of the receipt or cancellation of an order
to buy or sell.
Because he could not prove the exact
minute of the receipt of the counter
order from one Of his customers lead
Ing broker three weeks ago lost nearly
$4,000 on commissions which he exc
cuted on day when the price of the
stock In which he was dealing made sew
eral sensational changes. Minutes of
time were many dollars of money in Chat
case. and on other occasions saving or
proper use of minutes may be counted In
dollars instead of seconds.
A good many inventions to assist the
dealers In this matter of recording the
exact time Of their transactions have
been brought to the attention Of operat-
ors, but none Of them has been success
full The last device to simplify bust
ness and save time and guard against
mistakes Is an electrical time stamp.
The device Is not much larger than an
ordinary stamp. It looks Hike q minia-
ture ticker. The mechanism Is con-
nected with standard time clock, and
At the beginning Of every minute the
time indicated by the type on the stamp
is; changed to agree with the clock by
the closing of the electric circuit. An
order or paper to be stamped is placed
under the figures, a button is pressed,
apd the exact time is printed on the face
ofthe paper.-New York Sun.

Lake Ke,kn CRANE.

Lake Keuka first became noted for the
cultivation Of grapes on Its shores. The
first vineyard was planted about 1856 on
the west shore. In 1851 another was plant
ed on Bluff Point. The business proved
very profitable, and the cultivation Of
grapes extended until nearly all avail
able land has been utilized. At present
grape land is valued at 800 to $500 per
acre and bearing vineyards $500 to
81 900, the latter price being that Of the
best Catawba vineyards The present
crop is very promising, and, in view of
the general failure of other kinds Of
fruit. grape growers are expecting good
prices.-Rome Sentinel.

Did you ever think what your ad. in

Migratory Bee Keeping.

An apiary on wheels is one of the latest
innovations in California. After the
foothills have been pastured the bee
herder moves his bees to a higher eleva-
ton, where the industrious insects gath
er the nectar stored in the blossoms of
wild clover, chapparal and other plants,
and when these have been relieved of
their saccharine matter the bees are
again moved to higher elevation,
where flowers peculiar to their region
yield up their sweets to them.-Monro-
