One Way of Providing for the Old.

The Fijians spend no oinconsiderable part
of their lives making mats in which to be
buried, and every house has greater or
smaller pile of them rolled up among the
rafters, with which their owners will not
part for love or money. Wherever graves
are made, they are bottomed with clean
dry sand brought from the seashore and
sometimes sarcophagi are made of slabs of
soft sandstone, over which, when the
bodies are placed within, slab of the
same material is lowered, and the grave
filed in with earth.,f .ss.
Formerly cave sepulchers were formed
by digging straight down for fifteen or
twenty feet, and then running shaft hor-
izontally for an eqnal distance In a hol-
lowed out chamber at the end of the shaft
the body was laid, generally in reclining
position. In the case of very old persons,
to whom it seemed desirable, to hint that
as they had outlived their usefulness it
would be decent for them to accelerate the
shufhing off of this mortal coil, it was
common not to wait for their decease,, but
to put them in; the hole while still alive.
leaving the aperture open, and dropping
food down the perpendicular shaft at
stated intervals. t1n rf ~
When the food was observed to- be no
longer utilized, the natural conclusion
was that the inmates had said farewell to
mundane affairs, and the hole was stopped
by rolling q stone over it and covering it
with earth. BY this considerate action
the veteranwho Jagged superfuous on the
stage was gently assisted to that better
land for which the sagacity. of his rela-
tives perceived that he was so well fitted

The opinion of the Portland physicians
regarding the efficacy of Koch's lymph
for the cure of consumption, lupus and
other tubercular' diseases is still divided
and nothing has yet occurred to Justify
positive verdict as to it's merits. Ex
pariments have been made under the
most favorable circumstances but be-
yond new hopes given to some of the
patients no definite results have been
reached. In San Francisco the lympb
treatment has not proven the success
that many expected and several of the
physicians pronounced it failure.

Let us suppose a part of our own com
munity subjected to the legal restrictions
which now obtain in Russia with regard
to the Jew. Our laws on the subject would
then read somewhat as follows:
"All Jews born in the United States shall
be regarded as aliens. No Jews shall dwell
in any part of the United States except the
states of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippi unless they are graduates of some
state university, members of learned
profession, skilled artisans holding certifi-
Gates from technical school, or members
of chamber of commerce who pay $500 a
year for that privilege. No Jew shall hold
any government or municipal Office
mo jew shall buy or rent landed prop
erty All Jews shall pay special taxes in
connection with religious services No
synagogue may be opened without the per-
mission of the president of the United
States, and 20 public prayers may be held
in any other place than a synagogus.
When more than, ten Jews wish to meet
together for consultation or discussion
they must obtain permission from the
municipal authorities Married Jews who
become converted to christianity are ipso
facto divorced on conversions: but the wife.
if she remains a Jewess, may not marry
again.
'tAll Jews attaining the age of twenty
shall serve five years in the active army
and thirteen years in the reserve, but no
Jew may become an officer or even an Off
GERS servant. No Jew shall serve in the
navy
Such condition of affairs as is implied
in this paraphrase of the Russian laws af-
fecting Jews is so impossible, so incon-
ceivable, in this country and to US that
we can scarcely imagine it to exist any
where else. And yet there is no exaggera-
tion in such a paraphrase. The Jew today
in Russia is hedged around by set of re-
strictions as whimsical and as offensive as
anything devised by the fanatics of the
Middle Ages, carried out with savage
brutality which is possible only in half
civilized country. Jews are both heretics
and aliens in Russian eyes.-P. G. Hubert,
Jr., in Forum.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1891-04-07

Inc law that requires all male inhabi-
tants OF the state, between the, ages of
twenty7one and fifty, to pay poll tax of
one dollar to the assessor at the time of
making assessment is good deal of a
farce. One half of those entitled to paw
never do SO, and there is more trouble
and vexation in collecting the tax than
1t amounts to when collected. 1t should
be two or three dollars or nothing. An
assessor can easily spend two dollars
worth of time trying to collect one dollar
poll and then not get it. Our neighbors
north of the Columbia have effective
way of catching poll taxes. The law
makes in misdemeanor for any person
liable to pay poll tax to refuse to do 80
when required by the assessor or his
deputy and leaves such person liable to
a fine of $25 or imprisonment in the
county Jail for not exceeding one month
