of the following story: A man of some
what questionable character had died, and
the nearest preacher was summoned to
preach funeral sermon. Not knowing
the man, the preacher contented himself
with few general remarks on the solemn
nature of the occasion, and then said he
would be glad to have any of the company
present say a word about the dead man, if
they desired. No one moved or spoke,
and again the preacher extonded an invi-
tation to the company to offer remarks,
but again the Invitation met with silence.
Finally, an old farmer, who sat in the cor
ner of the front room, rose and said: eff
no one has any remarks to make about the
deceased, would like to make few re-
marks about tho sub-treasury plan"
"Help," the railroad dog of England,
who has just died, was remarkable ami
NAL. He belonged to the society which
looked after the widows and orphans of
railroad hands, or servants, as they are
called in England. "Help" was collie
which was taken in hand when a puppy,
and trained to travel on cars and collect
money for the society. He became very
expert in his work, and during his re-
markable career, which has just ended in
his death, he brought into the treasury of
the society over fve thousand dollars.
He was a beautiful animal, and wore
silver collar inscribed thus:
IT am Help, the railway dog
of England and travelling agent for the
orphans of railway men killed on duty.
My Office is in 90 Colebrook row, London,
where subscriptions will be thankfully re-
ceived and duly acknowledged. "Help"
made regular journeys by rail throughout
England and even crossed the channel into
France and made extensive tours over the
continent. He was unattended on these
journeys, making friends readily with any
man with railroad uniform on. He was
fed by the guards on the various lines and
always returned safely to the homo Office
after securing many subscriptions. The
money obtained by this dog has helped to
care for many helpless women and to edu-
cate children who otherwise might have
grown up in ignorance. He dies regretted
by thousands.

THE HEBREWS IN NEW YORK.
The Rev. DR.. Wheatley says in the Cen
tury that the cry of the Hebrew is, "New
York is my Jerusalem and the United
States is my country" The Hebrews have
certainly secured good foothold in New
York. There are from 250, 900 to 300, 900
of them there now, and others are fast
coming in. Many of them are "doing
we'll" OF the 1900 wholesale firms oc-
oupying the buildings on Broadway from
Canal street to Union square, it is esti-
mated that 1000 are Hebrews. In both
the wholesale and retail dry goods, fancy
goods and clothing tradSA they are domi-
nsnt in ell parts of the town. As butchers
they are remarkably successful. The
Hebrew jewelry firms number 1873. They
have entered into the leather business, In
which 80 many Of the great fortunes In
New York have been gathered.
As tobacconists. both wholesale
and retail, they are increasing
their capital and influence, and in the
wine and liquor trade they are prominent.
The aggregate of the capital controlled by
2,O18 Hebrew merchants in New York is
estimated at $2O7, 1856, 900. In Wall street
the Hebrews are numerous, active and
powerful. Their available capital there is
estimated at 500, 100000 Their holdings
of real estate in Now York are estimated
at from $3.50. .Oo0, 900 to 5000, 900, 900, and
five-eighths of the transfers are said to be
for their account.
This is an impressive showing. But the
Hebrews of New York are not all rich, or
even comfortable" Thousands of them
are employed at small wages in the cloth
ing industry and in other branches of
business. Most of these, however, have
an idea of "getting ahead" and many of
them will carry it out. 1t will be very in
teresting to gee how the Hebrew element
in New York stands in about twenty five
years from now.

Few Of the many people who Wait The
Central Park mensgerie know why q fox
terrier 10 20 be found in one or other Of the
Enclosures in which the elephants are con-
hned. The majority think there Ia some
thing almost cru.l about 1t. As a fact, II
is fun to the terrier and protection to the
elephant. It Is really an ersmplihcation Of
the fable of the lion and the mouse.
There are no greater pests in the menA-
gerie than the rats. These small rAscally
plants are excellent eating and have no
hesitation in gnawing at them when the
animal lies down, and, owing to its chained
condition, Ia unable TO defend itself against
its puny enemies. This is particularly the
case with Zip" who, owing to his vile
temper and murderous habits, has TO be Sc
curely chsined.
The rats In Q few nights would make
this monster perfect cripple were IL not
for "Gip," the terrier, who is always loos-
ened at night, and woe betide the Adven-
turous rat that ventures out on quest for
q tidbit of elephant toe. Zip" rogue
though he Is, knows his good little friend
and allows him to curl up on the uneaten
hay close beside his ponderous body, and
when there is dash across the pen, fol-
lowed by a mortal squeal, takes no notice
of IL, except perhaps opening one eye In
lazy way, and then, knowing that he is safe
for the night, trumpets a small note of
thanks to his tiny friend and gives himself
up to undisturbed slumber and dreams Of

Lately the rats have changed their base
of operations. II was found that they
were rnawing holes In the thick hide of the
rhinoceros. Fanny, the Scotch terrier, who
really rules the deer house, and is one Of
the best ratters in the world, was brought
into requisition- She WAS locked up in the
mammal house and her first night there
WAS one of pure JOY Fannie is q most
methodical canine. When the house wss
opened In the morning abe had q pile Of
twenty-seven rats in the middle of the floor
and was wsgging short tail in almost
hysterical manner.
After greeting her master, Phil Holmes,
seemed TO remember there was something
else to do, and taking one of the dead rats
in her mouth abe ran off to where her lit
ter of pups was, Just in the rear of the
camel shed She carried fsur there for the
little ones to worry. Fanny has guarded
the rhinoceros 20 well that not q new bite
has been seen on the animal, but every
morning there !, diminished heap of dead
rats on the floor.
There are places in the mensgerie where
the rat is doing great damage. In the pig
con house there are some rare birds, the
Hoorhees pigeon from SerngspstAm and
the American passenger" pigeon, which
seems to have nearly died out with the
Buffalo. Both these birds breed plentiful
fully in the menagerie, but as soon as the
young ones are Matched the rats carry them
away.
