a gentleman writing to The Jewish
Exponent, Of Philadelphia, says: "Sey-

tie daily papers, making a specially of
Jewish news. For several weeks, when
n Of the co~py-readers would handle
my copy for the first time, / would be
called to the front and warned not to
use the word Jew, as some of our lead
ing Jewish residents had frequently
taken the paper to task for using the
word, viewing its usage as an intended
slur, and this was said to a paper whose
advertising columns TEEN with the
names of representative Jewish mer-

The readers of The Tidings will OBJ
serve that this paper does not hesitate to
use the word Jew whenever occasion de-
mands. In fact, the word is infinitely
preferable to that Of Hebrew, and i'm
plies a great deal more. The word jew
has come to be regarded as referring to
religion, and the word Hebrew to Ian

A Singular Community.

The valley of Gressoney is one of the
most beautiful localities in the Italian
Alps. 1t also has a curious history. In
the Eleventh century it was colonized by
German soldiers, to whom it had been
given by King Otto in recognition of
their valiant services to him. The de-
scendants of these soldiers, though in a
strange land, have stuck fast to their
German traditions. They still speak
German and keep up the closest connec-
ton with Germany, which they consider
their fatherland. Their daughters are
educated in the best German schools and
seminaries. When the young women
come home from the big cities of the
north, however, they are compelled by
their parents to lay aside their fine Ber-
lin and Frankfort garments to don the
curious customs Of their forefathers, and
to learn to bake, and scrub, and wash as
their mothers and g~randmothers did be-
fore them. The cleanliness of the
"Gressonari' has made them famous
throughout Italy. 1t is a proverb that
their barns are cleaner than other peo-
pies houses. German is spoken in the
family, French in the churches, and
Italian in the SCHOOLS. Consequently all
the Gressonari know at least three Ian
guages.-New York Sun.

An awkward young countryman, from
Vermont, some years ago entered a Bos-

ment. Hecould do any kind of 'chores,"
he said, and boosted of his strength.
''Stout as you are" said one of the
clerks, "Ill give you ten dollars if you
will carry that bag of salt twice across
the store and never lay it down.
The Vermonter stood for a moment,
thoughtfully eying the bag, and then
shouldered it easily enough, carried it
twice backward and forward, walked up
to a rope with a hook at its end, which
hung through a s%cuttle, and hung the
bag IN the hook.

The clerk rather unwillingly joined in

the money in his wallet.-Youth's Com

Terrible Asian Heat.

The horror of the heat is unknown to
us, or indeed to any part of Europe,
though Naples and Athens are desper-
ately trying sometimes. But to the ma
tive of Scinde, Central Asia, the shores of
the Persian gulf, the II of Greece is but
a trife. The utter helplessness of man
under this infection adds horror to his
sufferings.
There is no hope and o Il when
the red hot air penetrates to those under
ground chambers in which the summer
is passed in Central Asia. "The inhabi-
tants,' We learn, care shutting them
selves up to escape"-probably closing
all the ~apertures of their subterranean
abodes, except those absolutely necessary
for ventilation. The air down below,
under such circumstances, cannot be
imagined by one who has not a touch of
experience. Houses Of good class are
solidly constructed under ground, with
chambers and doors and corridors, but
the mass of the people inhabit big holes,
rooted over, with no kind of permanent
convenience. Every winter the frost and
snow and rain play mischief with these
rough pits, and the damages not always,
nor often, repaired by the following sum-
mer. Fancy thousands of Mtongols in
these dens, pursuing theirfilthy habits in
semi-darkness, suffering the awful tor
ment of heat, children wailing, adults
raving, always in want of water and gen.
orally of food, in an atmosphere beyond
conceiving.-London Standard.
