The Jews in America,

A census bulletin just issued is devoted
to the vital statistics of the Jews in
America.
Although the facts printed represent only
10000 Jewish families, they are of consid-
cradle general interest and Importance.
II seems that the average age at mar
rage is greater among the Jews than
among the general population. The mar
rage rate is low and the birth rate is also
lower than the general average; but the
fact stands out prominently that the aver
age annual death rate is bat little more
than half the annual death rate among
other people living under the same con-
ditions.
1t is the theory of some scientists that
the general tendency Of the human race in
America Is towards extinction. This
theory is practically borne out by these
statistics concerning the Jews, but as they
have always shown remarkable ability to
adapt themselves to every climate. there is
no telling at this early date what their
destiny will be on this continent. Their
superb vitality, their sensible modes of
living, their well-known temperance and
their steady progress make it safe to
predict that century hence they will
show up as favorably in the vitality
statistics of the census bureau as any other
race Of people in the country. In fact, it
would not be at all surprising if they
should stand at the head Of the list 10 far
as health and longevity are concerned

Were You, NV Dear,

wouldn't tnrn my head to look after f1ne

l wouldn't forget to sew the braid around
the bottom af my skirt, or the button on
my shoe.
1 wouldn't conclude that every man who
said something plei SAINT to me, had fallen in
love with me.
Iwouldn't feel that I was an ill-treaied
parsonage because, though I could play
pleasantly, my friends didn't count me q
modern Mozart.
would not, when could only have one
frock, choose conspicuous one that would
mark me as the girl in the red plaid.
I would not, because I was tired and
nervous give snappy, ill-natured replies to
questions asked me by those who really
cared for me.
would not get in the habit of speaking
in familiar way of the men know; when
you make them Tom, Dick or Harry they
are apt to consider you as Kate, Nell or
Molly.
would not permit any girl friend to
complain to me of her mother-it is like
listening to blasphemy.
l would not when brush the dust off my
hat forget the cobwebs of distrust and sus-
picion in my brain.
Iwould not tell my private affairs to my
most intimate girl friend, nor would ask
her impertinent questions.
would not write silly letters to young
men, or permit them to be familiar with
me.
would not grow weary in well-doing-
instead, would keep on encouraging my
self by trying to live up to my ideal OF
woman, and the very fact of my trying so
hard would make me achieve that which
wished.-Zhe Ladies' Home Journal, for

When the crop is on the market, and the cash

There's something kind o. cheerful like about

When he knows thu summers over. and he

About the time the daylight's a-peeping thro

The PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT HoAR. Who
is this Senator George Frisbie Hoar who
poses as the especial champion of free
ballot and fair count in the South and who
gets the strabismus whenever he looks
beyond the horizon of Beacon Hill? He is
blald, grandfatherly-looking person who
bears striking resemblance to q great
Michigan man who recently became of
tender memory. He poses as the one
genuine conscience censor of the Senate,
and as noble representative of the highest
type of the Christian statesman. It is per-
tineDt to inquire into the qualifications of
this self-cbosen censor of elections and the
character of the zealot who has taken
charge of the reformation of the ballot and
appealed from that tribunal to the arbitra-
ment of the bayonet. 1t is notorious in
Massachusetts that Senator Hoar is o
master Of political machinery. He is the
i'd of the croaks and thugs of his party,
hand In glove with the lowest elements
and the great engineering of the machine.
His voice is all potent in caucuses and
conventions. He is the Genius of the
Ring and summons all the imps of political
darkness 10 his assistance whenever he.is
In real or imaginary danger. Even Quay
can teach him NO lessons in the dark WAYS
and vain tricks of politics. This Christian
statesman is whited sepulchre. This il
lustri0us critic ia hollow fraud. Detroit

in the case of Mrs. Rebecca Byrnes, of
Helena, Ark, a lady noted for her intel
lectual attainments and pious life. One
morning, arising in what seemed her usual
health and spirits, she summoned her chill.
dren to come to her.
One son was residing in Topeka, Kan,
one in New Orleans, two daughters were
married and living in Sedalia, Mo-, but,
obedient to their mothers call, they came
at once, though ignorant of the reason of
their summons. When all were about her
the lady informed them that she had q
dream, in which her husband, who had
been dead for nearly fifteen years, had
warned her that she had only ten days more
of life. She sent for her children to bid
them goodbye, which she proceeded to do
with much calmness, but with the air of
one who had not the slightest doubt that
she was already dying.
Her friends attempted to reason with her
and to point out the folly of placing such
perfect confidence in dream, but all to no
purpose, for the lady persisted in asserting
that she would depart from earth on such
day and exactly at certain hour.
Her pastor demonstrated with her, and
even brought the severest censure to bear
on her superstitious credulity, and at last
Mrs. Byrnes ceased to speak of the matter,
SO that her family had begun to think that
she had conquered her fancy. She con-
tinued in excellent health and pursued her
usual daily life, but just before the hour
she had predicted would be that of her
death she sought her children and babe
them goodbye, then, seating herself quiet

was struck. The physicians declare that
her death was due solely to her imagina-

hereafter when a witness bill is as
signed the person in whose name
the bill was issued has to sign it on

his name witnessed by two witness
