A New York rabbi is cut up in his
mind because the children of Polish Jews
in that city are being enticed into Chris
tian Sunday schools by gifts of cake,
candy and shoes. He complains Of it as
an unfair way of attempting to make
proselytes. Then he remarks that all
this will do no good, however, for Jews
cannot be enticed away from their faith.
Then what is he making this racket for?

The Champion Sandwich Man.

A wealthy young Cuban visiting in Paris
recently made bet with the carver of one
of the leading night restaurants on the
Boulevard, the wager being for | 900 francs,
that the latter would not cut and make
1900 complete sandwiches in "a hours. The
carver won the bet easily, accomplishing
the feat in 10 hours and 40 minutes, demol-
tshing % hams in the operation.

A modest Philadelphian, who evi-
IDENTITY believes that the Office should
seek the man, is said to have recently
written to President Cleveland as fol
lows: "Here is description of my
person. If you have any offices that
are hunting for a man of my style
please LEI me know" This applicant
deserves good job. He is willing
to accommodate any Office which
happens to be looking for an incum
bent. Modesty should not so unre-
warded.

Parties as well as individuals often
make serious mistakes in taking the
measure of men. Altgeld, governor
of Illinois, is a Democratic mistake,
and serious one. The general dis,
appreciation of his action in pardon
ing the Chicago anarchists should
warn the enimies of public order that
they must not mistake the foolish
clemency of one man as an indication
of changed or tolerant public
opinion. The American people de-
test the crime of which pardoned
anarchists were found guilty, and all
criminals capable of such bloody
work.-Rec0rd.

A remarkable discovery has been made
by Professor Er1merich. He finds that thf
blood of an animal which has recovered
from an infectious disease can cure an
other animal suffering from the same
disease, and the discovery is likely u
prove of the greatest Importance. At a
meeting Of the Berlin Physiological society
some statements were made regarding the
actual experience Of those who had fol
lowed out Professor Emmerich's idea ex-
perimentally that were strongly confirma-
tory of their soundness Mice had been in
oculated by the serum or watery portion OF
horses blood, the horse having already
been cured of the disease. The result was
that the mice, which had been previously
inoculated with the bacilli of lockjaw, did
not die when subjected to the treatment,
while those left to themselves perished.-
