why Russia Persecutes the jews.

why Russia PefSecutes tho Jews.
The principal grounds upon which the
Russian justi6es the persecution of his
Hebrew brother are as follows. He as
serts: First-That the Jews are too "a
pacious and too successful in getting
money and property away from the sur
rounding Christians. Second-That they
hold themselves, as class, apart from
the rest of the community. Third-That
they furnish many of the leading nihil-
lists and mischief makers. Fourth-That
they evade service in the army and do
not become patriotic Russians.
The first accusation may be ignored,
as it amounts simply to saying that the
Jew is shrewder and more intelligent
than his neighbors of other races As to
the Jews refusal to mingle more freely
with his neighbors of different creeds,
or, in other words, to assimilate with
the population, it cannot be said that he
has as yet received any very warm invi-
tation to do anything of the kind. He
has been chased like beast of prey for
centuries. and now he is asked why he
does not like his prosecutors
The charge of nihilism is perfectly
true, to the extent that the Jews natur-
ally furnish their proportionate quota to
the malcontents who have the courage
to act. But that the Jews among the
nihilists exceed their proper proportion
to the whole population is denied by
many trustworthy writer's. The charge
that the Jew evades army service is dis
proved by official statistics.-P. G.

Her ROyal Sweetness.

To be called Her Royal Highness is
the destiny of every woman born to
wear a crown, but it remains for one
woman among all the royal families to
have the endearing title of Her Royal
Sweetness given to her, and that honor
belongs to Alexandra, Princess of Wales.
She has that marvellous art of making
goodness seem attractive; of making
the right act the pleasant one and of i'm
pressing upon all who know her the
knowledge that to do good is to have a
pleasant time, and not to do it is to miss
some of the pleasure of life.
Many princesses have been written
about as having been beautiful, as hav-
ing caused great wars, as having done
great deeds Of valor, of having made
men die for them and kingdoms quarrel
over them, but Of none of them can it
be said, as it is of this gracious lady,
that the whole world bows down before
sweetness and goodness, that peace has
been the watchword of her life; and
not only does she value peace, but those
loving sisters, Faith, Hope and Charity,
abide with her.-Lady Elizabeth Hilary
in Ladies Home Journal.

the Englishman sat.
''And phwat is sweets, SURF asked the
waiter.

he meant dessert, pudding, etc.

Neckwear.

A we'll dressed man needs to give atten-
ton to three details Of his dress, namely,
bis hat, his necktie and his shoes His
gloves also are of much importance, for
the general law that the extremities are
the most conspicuous parts of the body re
quires them to be the most carefully
dressed If the impression Of elegance is tc
emanate from the person. The law of the
neckgear Is the other, but is none the less
imperative. Every work of art, says new
philosopher of clothes, demands what is
known as point of rest. This point of
rest Is found to be the central point-the
pivot, so to speak-from which all the rest
of the composition derives its significance.
This point of rest in the toilet is, he says,
the neckwear. 1t gives significance to all
the rest Of the toilet
Surely the words of man who can talk
about neckties in such wise terms as this
ought to be regarded. The philosopher
goes on to insist that it is poor economy
for man who wishes to give the appear
ance of elegance in dress to wear anything
but the best quality of neckties These
cost money, he says, but it is the best pos
sible investment, for the necktie is the first
detail of mans dress that makes an i'm
preston on the beholder. If it is cheap or
shabby the general impression is one of
cheapness and shabbiness If that is rich
in material and carefully disposed, even if
the rest of the garments be of mediocer
quality, the general impression is one of
care and richness.-San Francisco Argo-

THE MAEIA.

NEW ORLEANS, March 25-In obedience
to orders issued by Mayor Shakespeare to
investigate the flag incident upon the
acquittal of the Italians a report has been
made by the officers Of the Third and
Harbor precincts on the flag incident,
which occurred on the day the Hennessey
murderers were acquitted. The report
states that on the evening of that day a
crowd of fifty Italians congregated on the
levee, at the head of Ursuline street.
Three of them, Guisseppi Lepric, A.
Lancetta, and Romano Barchielole,
entered the shanty of Peter Caroles, and
took therefrom, with the latter's consent,
an American and an Italian flag. The
three named above hoisted the flags, the
Italian at the top and the American upside
down below it.
ttMr. w. S. Parkerson, of the citizens
committee, states that the letter W hlch ap-
peared in the New York World of March
19, purporting to have been signed by him,
is aforgery. He says he has neither written
nor expressed any such sentiments.

teresting story in support of a charge that
the records of the Louisiana Electric Light
company were doctored, in order to make
it appear that the light at the corner of

The egg is the sign of the resurrection,
which the Easter festival commentaries.
