Speaking about old families, some of the
Hebrews can boast of being members of
very old ones. One of the members of the
Spanish-Portuguese Synagogue in New
York has deposited there document con-

ago.
An interesting decision concerning the
| question of naturalization has been rem
dered in the Albany city court on the ap-
plication of San G. Po, Burmese, to be-
come a citizen of the United States. In
his decision Judge Danaher holds that ga

| DR.. Carter, of Birmingham, England,
delivering an address on brain work and
brain workers. called special attention to
the danger of working too soon after
meals. At least half an hour should elapse
| before exerting the brain. An hours close
attention to one subject was as much as
could proftably be given at sitting. He
strongly deprecated the use of sedstive
draughts by brain workers who could not
| sleep.
DR.. s. Weir Mitchell of Philadelphia, a
| specialist in nerve diseases, has invented
| cigar containing no nicotine. The Vuelta
Absjo tobacco, used for the filler, and the
Connecticut wrapper are subjected to what
is termed double resweating" process.
The materials are placed in steam room
for four or five hours, after which they are
taken out and subjected to natural dry
ing for day or two. This operation is
thrice repeated, after which the tobacco
is considered practically free of nicotine.
The death of John E. Earle removes a
man who has played an important part in
the affairs of New Haven and Connecti-
cut, and whose influence has also at
times been felt in national matters. He
had excellent judgment and con-
spicuous business ability. He was
faithful and reliable, firm in
friendship, and in all ways good citizen.
His work as member of the board of
education of New Haven was unsel6sh
have done as much or as we'll for the
schools. He was a man of deeds rather
than words, and his life was honorable,
serviceable and successful.
1t has always been said that dining cars
are generally run at loss and are attached
to trains simply as a matter of attraction.
A steward, four cooks and five walters are
attached to each car. The food costs from
$1,000 to 81 500 month. 1t costs from
5000 to s2s, 900 year to run one of
these cars, exclusive of the wear and tear
on the property and incidentals. In some
places, and particularly in the south, sleep
ers are also run at a loss. A sleeping car
leaving New York for Chicago is supplied
with 120 sheets, 120 pillow slips and 100
towels. The washing is done in different
cities, and is given out in great quantities
at the low rate of 81 per 100 pieces. An
equipment of linen, which lasts year, is
purchased in amounts of s5O, 900 worth at
time. One company, for 700 cars, uses
every thirty days 2,4OO dozen cakes of
toilet soap, 1900 dozen boxes of matches,
35 dozen hair brushes, so dozen whisks, go
dozen combs, and vast number of sponges
and feather busters. Porters receive from
$50 to $50 a month.
One person out of every seven in the
United Kingdom is depositor in the post
Office savings banks, which have nearly
$3.50, ZOO, 900 deposits. To manage this
business there is headquarters staff of
not far from 1 900 persons at the London
Postofice bank, of which every money
order postoffioe in Great Britain and Ire
land is branch. Every deposit made in
any one of the postofices is forwarded to
the London headquarters. The local post.
master simply takes the cash and sends II
, up to London, merely entering 1t on his
accounts and on the depositor's book. The
London Office keeps an account against
every one of the 10000 branch offices
realized when it is stated that in one day
4 as many as 72,6s9 deposits have beer
l made; that last year 992, 900 accounts were
opened and 7O1 900 closed. 1t is estimated
: that in the twenty-five years the postoffic,
0 savings bank system has been in operation
: frauds and Inaccuracies have amounted tt
= only about cent for every $4,000.
