THE ROrHsCHILDs AND THE JEWS.
Statement Giving Their View OF the Protest
Of Handling the New Russian Loan.
[BY Cable to The Timesl

LONDON, May A statement is made pur-
porting to give the Rothschild view Of the
protests offered in certain Hebrew quarters
against the handling by the firm of the new
Russian loan. 1t is stated in substance that
the Rothschilds have the deepest sympathy
for their oppressed fellow Hebrews of Russia
and have showed that sympathy repeatedly
in a substantial manner and are ready to do
so again; that they. as bankers. could in no
wise influence the will of the Gar and that
any attempt TO do 50 could hardly fail to have
a calmitous result so far asafecting the con-
dition of the Russian Jews, and that 1t would
be most unwise for them to make the interior
policy of the Russian Government ground for
refusing relations with Russian finance, and
that such course would undoubtedly give
offence TO other States as implying that the
Rothschilds assumed TO be censOrs Otthe Gov
ernments with which they have dealings.
The Rothschilds. it is said, are subscribing
for the relief of Russian Jews in an amount
much larger than any profits they are likely
to derive from the Russian loan.

HANDY MUSIC HOLDER.
a Suitable GIFT for a Musical Friend

Suitable Gift for Musical Friend.
Comparatively few people have rea4-
ly convenient receptacle for sheet music.
The rest of the world either piles it on
the piano, where it gets dusty and is AL
ways untidy, or putt away in some in-
convenient place, all kinds together, so
that if one wants a song it must be
found after searching through studies,
dance music, sonatas, etc.
The good way to keep sheet music
classified and free from dust is to have
several envelopes, one for each kind of
music. Make them of gray linen, or of
blue or brown denim, two inches
larger than a sheet of music. Bind all
the seams and edges with harmonizing
or contrasting silk braid, and with the
same colored embroidery silk work one
word to designate the style of music to
be found within, as tSongs," Dance
Music" Symphonies, or whatever
music is used by the individual or fami-
ly. If preferred, these envelopes may
be stiffened with pasteboard and lined
This will make them much more dura-
BILE. If made in this way, the pieces
should first be bound with the braid.
and then over-handed neatly and strong
ly together.
Light brown denim, bound with darker
brown braid and worked with brown
silk, would be neat, or blue denim with
blue decorations, or gray linen with red
or deep gold color. In default of a regu-
lar music cabinet these envelopes may
lie on any table, or on chair standing
beside the piano, or even on the piano
itself
A set of these music envelopes would
be very welcome gift for friend de-
voted TO the divine art in any of its
| forms. Bazar.

A HUMAN FAILING.
Discussing the Different Things One Lik
to Eat.

Discussing the Different Things One Likes
to Eat.
Among the many things that are hard
to understand is the fancy entertained
by so many people, that other people
will be interested to hear at considera-
BILE length what they like to eat and
what they do not like to eat. There
seems to be nothing of very great in
terest to ones friends in the fact that
one is passionately fond of cabbage
and onions; and yet, next to the
weather, the most frequent subject of
conversation is probably the subject of
eatables.
IF there's anything dote on" said
Mrs. Chubb, ''it's a nice leg of mutton
with butter gravy and capers. And I
like"
But" says Mrs. Scragg, breaking
in, lis there anything more horrid than
picked tripe? can't bear it.
MY favorite sauce" Mrs. Chubb
continues, lis fried apple sauce; and
scalloped apples l can't get enough of"
''Laws!" exclaims Mrs. Scragg, ''you
don't say so! No kind of fruit agrees
with me. And don't see how any body
can eat those miserable things they call
olives.
So they go on for an hour. "Well, 1
must be going" says Mrs. Scragg, ris-
ing at last. ''We'ye had a real pleas
ant timei"
Throughout the whole interview
Mrs. Chubb has been talking about the
things she likes, and Mrs. Scragg has
been talking about the things she does
not like. Each one has been following
her own temperament; and while she
has not been at all interested in what
the other has said she has been greatly
interested in what she herself has said
This principle of compromise is gem
orally the basis of these little conver-
sations about food
"How would it do" said one man to
another, when, on long railway jour
rey, their conversation had Jagged ito
tell each other what we like to eat, and
divide the time?"
"Capitalr' said the other. "You tell
me for ten minutes what you like best,
and then I'll call time on you, and tell
you what l like"
''And then I begin again in ten min
utes more?"
Certainly"
It was agreed, and for a mortal hour
the two men related to each other the
smallest details of their very dissimilar
food-likings, in ten minute speeches.
At the end of that time the porter
passed through the car and announced
that dinner was ready in the dining
car.
'Goodr' exclaimed one. 'I'm so
hungry could eat anything"
80 could l." said the other. Then
they went in and ate exactly the same
things, which were practically the
same that both had eaten the day be-
fore.-Youth's Companion.

Robert Houdin, the sleight-of-hand
man, once said that he owed much of
his success to his persistent cultivation
of the faculty of observing ordinary
things. He cultivated this by watching
people as he passed them on the street,
by noting the details of difference. He
said that he finally got so proficient that
he could glance at a shop window on
passing it and tell everything in it,
even to details of construction of the
small articles, as the pattern of chain
in a jewelers. window for instance.
In addition to its mental training this
observing of details has more attrac-
tive side. 1t furnishes amusement and
makes an ordinary going forth for busi-
ness or pleasure averitable trip to Won
derland. If you will take the trouble
to inquire into the matter you will be
surprised to find how little people,
even women, observe what is going on
about them. Women are always men
toned as alert and infallible observers.
AS matter of fact they observe very
little outside of the detail of other
women's hats and gowns. And they
do not observe these as much as they
get credit for doing, as any dressmalzer
or milliner can tell

servation in the conduct of people in the
| elevated trains. One man, sitting in a
corner peering over his newspaper, will
suddenly laugh. He has seen some
thing to amuse him in some person in
| the car or in some window the car has
| just passed. Now, others have been
| looking in the same direction as he but
have seen nothing to laugh at.
The truth is, they did not see what he
saw. They were looking at it. But
they were looking with eyes unframed
for details The small, incongruous
elements which make up humor had
escaped them. But if the laughing man
had told what he saw the others would
have laughed. 1t was not lack of a
sense of humor, but simply lack of
observation.
In any crowd that jostles along the
sidewalks of Broadway there are a
thousand pecuiarities of dress and
manner, score of incidents full of
humor or of that gentle melancholy
which refreshes ike tears shed over a
novel The people who are fond of
parading and seeing what is going on
are conscious of this crowd in only a
dim way. They do not think of sep
arating it further into details than
pretty or ugly, handsome or unattrac-
tive And in that way they miss almost
all the life and beauty and interest.
They see, but at the same time they do
not see. And they forget that all the
fun and all the shadows that writers
put into print for them to read are but
faint reflections of the fun and shadows
of the panorama of life which is around
everybody.
The color of a bootblack's shirt, the
cut of a working girls gown, the ways
in which women do their hair, the kind
of eyebrows and eyes, expressions OF
faces-all these things may be observed
and noted in such way that score OF
other things, unnoticed before. will be
opened to view. The more this minute
and careful observation is cultivated,
the more entertaining, and profitable,
too, it becomes.-N. Y. Sun.
