The large gift of Baron Hirsch in
aid of the Russian eNiles has stimulated
many other wealthy Hebrews both in
Europe and America to deeds of gen
erosity. The various societies for as
sisting the eXilcs are well supplied with
funds, which are used with discretion
and which have been serviceable to
thousands of sufferers all the way from
the Neva to the Hudson.
1t is hard to believe in these days
of careless financiering that in trans
actions covering period of seven years
and an amount exceeding $13, 900, 900.
there should have been but one error of
SO, and that one found to have been
made up. Nevertheless that is the
record Oh lne EdSb river DrluSe rs re-
ported by experts who have gone over

do you want to see her thumb for?"
"Well, ma says your wife keeps you
under her thumb, and I'd like to see it,

"A rather remarkable story is told
about an apple tree that grows in ST.
+ Georges cemetery in Middleport Del.
1t is said to yield fine round apples in
, great abundance. But no one can eat
them, as they have a a''graveyard taste "
Even the hogs, when the apples are Of
, fered them, refuse to touch them. When
. put by the fire to roast the apples, it is
said, simmer to oil and emit disagree
, able odor strongly suggestive of grave

= There is species of seaweed, a
: kind of kelp, which the Indians of Alas
lsa are very fond of chewing. 1t is as
f tough as leather and one piece will last

e fashion of collecting herring eggs. They

h An excellent idea has been recently
e put into practice by drug firm in Bir
If mingham. On every bottle or package
e of poison sold by the firm a label i.
pasted on which are printed directions
as to the antidote which should be EN-
ployed in case the poison is taken by
human beings, accidentally or inten
tionally. This is perhaps an even better
i plan than that said to have been adopted

is of giving dog with each prescription
