which can preserve them from the total cen-
tralization and foreign absorption which have
already exercised so perceptible an influence on
the Arabs and Moons Of Tunisia.
The province has become 50 accessible Of late
that it is as easy for the traveller togo to Tunis
and from thence to reach Algeria, - it u to
travel in Europe. A trip to the Sahara does
not seem more adventurous than . journey to
Norway, and the romance of such names -
Biskrs, Constantine, FL K antara and the noble
plain of the Chelif has potent charm which
even the attractions of the most delightful city

She kicked, but it did not help. The other sin
ner would not let 60 his hold, and the angel,
continuing to pull, was lifting them both. But
10 another sinner chung tot hem, and then
third, and more and more-till chain of mis-
cradle sinners hung at the woman's feet The
angel never ceased pulling. 1t did not seem
too much for the carrot and they all were
lifted in the air. But the old woman suddenly
took fright Too many people were taking
hold of her last chance of salvation, and kick
ing and pushing those who were clinging to
her, she exclaimed, Let go! hands off! the
carrot is mine"
No sooner had she pronounced the word
mine" than the tiny stem broke, and they
all fell back into hell forevermore.
This is only legend, and not Jewish ie-
gend at that, but it illustrates so well the atl-
tude of many people to the community at
large. With them everything is mine,
"mine.n "mine" "Ours" is not found In
the dictionary Of their lives. Yet by that very
selfshness is the greatest danger brought upon
those who practice it. The prophet was right
when ne sounded the word of warning to the
people, :. Seek ye and pray for the peace and
welfare Of. the city wherein ye shall be exiled !;
for in it's welfare will ye find your own"
The very powers and abilities which have
been given to man, and by which he has
GAINED success in life for himself, belong to the
community in whose midst he has gained his
success. They belong to the service OF God
who has given them. Not to be represented
by mere proxy, even though it be of gold,
but by the man himself, by his labors, bis en-
ergies, his abilities, given to the congregation,
to the community, to the common wealth at
large.
Let MS, friends, heed the monition Of the
prophet. Let us turn our lives out of the mar
row rut of selfish, personal advantage. Let
all our energies be united in one broad stream
of noble action, Of splendid benefoence, that
shall bless us ourselves, in the very blessing
that it scatters broadcast among the children
Of men. For such is the mission Of Israel,
and by Gods grace SO shall it be fulfilled
Amen.

Jewish Household Life in this North African City

tConcIuded from last week.
Through the dim haze of the misty tepid va
Dor the eye gradually becomes conscious OF
confused, moving mass of female forms, whose
long. unloosed black hair only partially
shrouds glittering white skins, and is being
continually pushed back from large, velvety,
laughing eyes. Some OF the women seated on
stone benches, converse togetherin shrill pierre
ing accents, broken at intervals by . strange
sybillant ejaculation uttered in unison in the
highest notes of their combined voices. 9th

warm water over their heads, and then rub
bling into their moist hair the red earth Of
Manouba, which imparts to it brilliancy like
varnish. Others, again, anoint, themselves
with q special salve or mutually slice each 9th
or with showers of water brought in pails by
female attendants. The whole atmosphere
is one of laughter, shouts. inteIjections and
peals of loud merriment. The singular scene
might tempt painter of the school of Rubens,
if it were possible for one of his sex to gain ad
mission to the Jewish women's baths.

grown wide and desertsd, is an inclosure SUR

Marrying In Hard Times.

Question-Would The sun advise an engaged
couple TO get married in these hard times.
Answer-If there be no other bar to
the marriage than the hardness of the
times, 1t ought not to be forbidden. OF
course the bachelor who desires to be-
come a husband should be able to earn a
living or should otherwise have the
means Of life at his command, so that he
shall be able to provide for the woman
who Is willing to become his wife, and
that thus the twain may enjoy welded
bliss without undue anxiety about the
morrow. We notice by the municipal
record Of marriages that just about as
many people get married here in hard
times as III better times; when work is
slack and money tight as when both are
plentiful We could not give advice in
an individual case like that which is pre-
sented to us, because we know nothing
about the parties, but we know that the
love which laughs at locksmiths can of
ten act very boldly without ever having
cause to regret the action. We are not
prepared to say that the engaged couple
should shrink from a serious duty or
postpone the day of wedlock merely be-
cause the times are not SO good as they
have been or as they will be after awhile.
