How They Get Along.

Remarkable stories of the success 0
many of the Jewish immigrants who hav,
arrived here from Russia within the pas
two years are circulated in the Jewish so
cieties Of this city. A Jew from Moscow
who was penniless when he landed at tn,
port Of New York in 1891, took to peddling
and is already rich enough to be the Ownel
of $500, upon which he draws interest. A
Jew from Warsaw, who joined the Jewish
farming colony in Connecticut, is prosper
Gus. Another Polish Jew, who borrowed
money to start in the cloakmaking bust
ness on the east side, is now the owner of q
sweating concern and employs about TWEEN
ty hands.
A Jew from Odessa managed to make a
little investment in Wall street, and it has
proved profitable. Another enterprising
Jew became janitor of an apartment house,
and he manages to make his janitorship
lucrative. Another set up a diminutive
kosher shop in which he is furnishing.
Another bought lot in a rural region OF
Jersey ON credit, and he now has a real es-
tate office and can speak English. Another
got a clerkship in a clothing store, and it
has developed into partnership. Another
hired a floor Of tenement, which now fur
nishes room for twenty dodgers. Another
started a school for teaching the American
speech, and there are many learners in it,
each of whom pays twenty-five cents a
week. Another is a pawnbroker and makes
money. So the stories go, and there are
hundreds, not a few of which are entertain.

A vision Of rapid transit was evoked by
Mr.. Moody Boynton in the talk after a
club dinner the other day, which makes
one gasp for breath in reading about it,
IF a bicycle he said, "has been driven
$50 miles in a day with human feet, using
a 9-foot wheel, who shall say 9-foot
bicycle wheel and motor, on a single
rail Of any standard gauge road, speed
uncomfortable may not be attained, and
that with absolute safety the continent
may not be crossed in daylight, the five
grand divisions Of the earth yet be brought
together, space nearly annihilated?
There will be neither city nor country,
for both will be united There will be no
dust, heat, smoke, steam or lateral motion
-as safe as if an open steel tube encircled
you, touching the earth with posts only
where necessary, driven by the electric
current imprisoned in a slotted guide
beam, the problem, rapid transit for man,
is hereby safely solved forever" Mr.
Boynton is one of many who have this
problem of swiftness in process Of solution.
1t may be that his bicycle railroad is the
solution. It certainly lends itself admir-
ably to enthusiastic description. Boston

Nc Deeay of lac aIaI.Ing.

Some attention has lately been directed
to the very appreciable decadence in the
Honiton lace making industry, and vari-
Gus reasons are assigned for the fact The
competition of foreign makes Of lace and a
want of originality in the Devonshire range
of designs are among the supposed causes
of the decline, and it is suggested that the
county council might take some steps to
ward its revival. The real source of decay,
however, lies too deep to be thus easily
reached Fashion unfortunately has not
run lately toward the patronage Of good
lace, and few women, even among those
who pride themselves ON dressing well. are
so much as elementary critics and cOnnois-
seurs of the flmy fabric.
The perfection with which machine made
laces are now turned out has been another
fatal blow to the infinitely more artistic
handmade wares. The linen thread Tor
chon makes illustrate this point very
strongly, for while the genuine product is
a relatively costly adonment, the imita-
ton material in cotton can be bought
cheaply enough to be included in the trim
mings of a five and elevenpenny ready
made garment.
The Princess Of Wales and several of the
other royal ladies' are keen collectors and
excellent judges Of the wares,of the Eng
fish and Irish schools Of lacecraft, and
when British women generally follow their
example in a truly feminine and dainty
craze there will be demand enough to
bring about a vital amendment in the pres
ent condition of the industry. --LondOn

There is a universal tendency to seek
and sometimes to see in the forms of oh
jects around us representations of the
human figure or of animals and plants
Many interesting examples have been re
corded and pictured of rocks and noun
tains presenting resemblance to animated
forms. We are quite ready to discern in
the clouds all sorts Of personages, and at
periods when superstition has been active,
apparitions have been described, the whole
existence of which consisted Of misinter-
preted simple resem alliances. Stones have
usually been considered especially worthy
of attention in this category; in tubercles
of sandstone and nodules of flint it is easy
to find features analogous with the most
various objects.

The Future for Farmers.

The american AgriculturiSt is OF
opinion, after careful research and
conservative investigation, that
American farmers, as class, are
more prosperous and in a better
condition to-day, both mentally and
financially, than they were one year
ago. There is thus a most hopeful
outlook for farmers during the year
before us. The country generally
is prosperous and aflluent, which
means that the people have a good
purchasing power. Where farmers
can find markets close to hand, they
generally obtain more remunerative
prices than if compelled to ship their
produce abroad. 1t is thus to the
interest of all farmers to help build
up their own particular sections,
thereby providing markets at their
own doors. If these fail, or are lack
ing, we have the world before us,and
we believe that the exports of our
domestic produce lis the prospective
season will approximate even those
of the Unprecedented season just
completing. This may seem a rash
conjecture, but let US analyze it.
We have still available all the mar
kets that have heretofore been open
to us, and even to a greater extent,
for one Of the results of low prices
is a larger consumption, and when
people once become accustomed to
consuming American products, they |
will continue to demand them, even

The Rambler occupied n seat in the
Tabernacle last Sunday morning. The IA
nous clergyman was in the midst Of a
most interesting sermon, and the several
thousand eyes of the huge congregation
were riveted in interested expectancy upon
the expressive face and gesticulating fig
IRE of the noted divine. The stiffness of
death, save for the exhortations Of the pull
pit orator, pervaded the great edifice.
Down in the center of the crowded church,
almost buried out Of sight by her older
neighbors, black eyed little tot Of four
years nestled close to her mothers skirts.

for second and then moved softly over
the smooth and shiny surface.
The old fellow was deeply engrossed in
the clergyman's sermon, and for awhile
evinced no uneasiness from the ticklish
manners Of the little insect All the while
the child's eyes followed the movements Of
the fly. She was deeply interested and
looked around, apparently to see if any
body else was enjoying the scene. sud
denly the aged worshiper's arm shot up
and then came down with a resembling
whack upon his Uranium. The little one
behind had evidently been waiting for
this, and sliding out Of her seat before her
mother could check her, she placed her
chubby little hands on the old fellows
shoulder. and peering over into his face
unmindful of the time and place, asked,
with much animation. "Did 90 kill it?''-

Triumphg Of Reoiprooity.

In making sugar free, the Repub
lican party looked both before and
after. We found our farm products
practically excluded from Spanish
and Central Europe. The very
countries whose sugar products we
were about to relieve of duties
maintained against us a solid war
of commercial exclusion; some at
the dictation of home governments,
as Cuba; others to provide revenue,
as the republics ofthe South; others,
like France and Germany, to save
! their markets for their own farmers.
The act of 1890, without exposing
a single domestic interest, by a
briefprovision, gave the President a
limited discretion to restore the
sugar duties, with other heretofore
RENTED. in our dealings with every
country that after a specified time
refused to deal fairly by the Ameri-
can farmer. Under that simple pro-
vision, already sustained by our
highest court, we have concluded
treaties opening nearly all of Latin
America to our merchandise, includ-
ing breadstuffs and meats, at nominal
rates Of duty in exchange for the free
admission of sugar into our market
place.
The few republics yet remaining
out Of the fold will be brought in by
the monitory words Of the Presidents
recent proclamation. Under these
treaties the South American mer-
chant feet has already increased
from three to fourteen ships. Ny
friend and your friend, Major Con
ger, our Minister at Rio Janeiro,
who passed through this city the
other day, told me that as he left the
harbor at Rio he saw a single ship
discharging 1900 tons of American

the statistics for January show that
in that month alone we sold in Hav-
ana Ga, 900 barrels of flour, which up |
to the recent treaty with Spain was
excluded by prohibitory tariff
To-day every mill, packing house

County Roads and Road
Work.

Probably in no one thing are
Americans so far behind Europeans
as in the character of their common
roads. We boast of our freedom,
but in respect to roads there has
been too much freedom. The free
dom allowed the country people as
to roads has been abused, and the
roads simply disgTaceful. But they
are pretty fair specimens of the
enterprise of farmers when left to do
as they please. and they are not
likely to be much better until the
general system under which the
roads are worked is overturned.
1t is gratifying to observe the in
creasing interest shown throughout
the country in the improvement Of
the public roads, and many sugges-
tions are offered for effectrng these
improvements. Most of these sug-
gestions are for those of costly con-
struction, requiring several hundred
and even thousands of dollars for a
mile. Tax payers are frightened
with these suggestions, and while
public interest has greatly increased
the public roads have not improved
at all, in most localities. In few
instances, few and far between, short
specimens of fine and expensive
brOken-stone roads have been made,
costing several hundred dollars a
mile, but the interest which brought
them into existence was not kept up
they were neglected, were not re-
paired, and this neglect resulted in
badly cut wagon tracks, which had
they been mended in time would
have cost little, but with greatly

One of the greatest difficulties at

cathollo Refntations of aaIhe


From the mass of books which, appeared
under the auspices of the Church imme'
/ diatelv after the condemnation of Calico
for the purpose of roofing 5out every yes
| tire of the hated Copernic8n theory from
/ the mind of the world, two may be taken
/ as tvpical. The first OF these was work
I bv Scipio Chiaramonti, dedicated to Car
dinal Barberini. Among his arguments
AGAINST the double motion of the earth may
/ be cited the following:
"Animals which move have limbs and
muscles; the earth has no limbs or mus
/ cles. therefore it does not move. 1t is
angels who make Saturn, Jupiter, the sun,
etc, turn around. II the earth revolves, It
must also have an angel in the center tn
set it in motion; but only devils live there,
it would therefore be a devil who would
impart motion to the earth.
''The planets, the sun, the fixed stars, all
belong to one species-namely, that OF stars
they therefore all move or all stand still.
It seems therefore to be a grievous wrong
to place the earth, which is a sink Of inn
purity, among the heavenly bodies, which
are pure and divine things"
The next, which 1 select from similar
works, is the Anticopernicus CathOlicus of
Polacco. It was intended to deal finish
ing stroke at Galileo's heresy.
In this it is declared THE Scripture al
ways represents the earth as at rest, and
the sun and moon rs in motion, or, if these
latter bodies are ever represented as at
rest, Scripture represents this as the result
of a great miracle.
'These writings must be prohibited be-
cause they teach certain principles about
the position and motion Of the terrestrial
globe repugnant to Holy Scripture and to
the Catholic Interpretation of it, and not as
hypothesis, but as established facts.
at is possible to work with the hypoth-
eses Of Copernicus so as to explain many
phenomena. Yet it is not permitted to
argue on his premises except to show their
falsity. DR.. Andrew D. White in Popular

Praises for the Humble
Onion.

Onions are invaluable for soups.
They are blood purifiers. A liberal
use of them is recommended as a
cure for boils,and they tend to make
the complexion cIear and the face
free from pimples. The children Of
those nationalities who eat o. them
most largely, noticably escape that
bane OF childhood, worms. Their
use. is beneficial to the digestive
organs, they are excellent in certain
diseases, are of benefit in liver com
plants and their powers for good in
lung troubles is well known. They
are the best cure for insomnia.
Favorite remedy for cough is a
syrup made by alternating slices of
raw onion with white sugar. Cut a
large onion, horizontally, into thin
slices, put one in a. diNls, sprinkle
sugar over it, then add mother slice
of onion, building it up thus by
