= a furious attack upon those Jews
who are converted to Christianity is made
by the Jewish Progress. 1t gives the
New York, and denounces them without
stint. There are probably not moro
than 200 Hebrew Christians in New
York.
An Order whose motto is "America
for Americans" is in convention at Des
Moines, Iowa. Its principal object is to
prevent foreign born citizens from hold

business men and foreign institutions.

a French statistician, worked $500 days,
slept 5000, amused himself 1000, walked
1900 miles, been i'll 500 days, has par
taken of &c, 600 meals, eaten $4,000 pounds
of meat, and 1000 pounds of fish, eggs

Prof. Totten declares that this is the
last hour of the Christian dispensation,
and predicts that the second advent is
less than six years away, when Jerusa-
lem is to be rebuilt and the parable OF
the ten virgins is to be fulfilled. He
gives figures and facts, which he says
mo man OH earth can successfully
dispute and which any scholar may veri-
fy."
1t is a remarkable fact that the eli
mate of the Southern polar region is
much more severe than that of cores
ponding regions to the Moth. 1t is
we'll known that race of human beings
live within the Arctic circle with some
degree Of comfort, but a correspond
ing degree of latitude at the Sout b
ali is one dreary waste, wholly unhabit-
able.
BILLY Deutsche, who broke the bank
at Monte Carlo and made great win
nings in Paris, is dying at Denver, and
leaves this legacy in answer to the ques-
ton: "Do you think any benefits deriv-
ed from money won so easily ?" Ger
tainly not" he answers. ga man who
wins money at cards simply fritters it
away and acquires habits which no legiti-
mate occupation would supply. attri-
butte the majority of suicides to losses at
cards."
= The Maharsjah of Mysore has deci-
ded, if possible, to put an end to maria
ges between children, or rather infants
in his kingdom. He ISSUED an edict re-
Gently forbidding girls under 8 years and
boys under IA to marry. In the future
no man aged so or more dare wed girl
under IA. The edict has aroused much
opposition in Mysore, but the ruler is
said to be an energetic man, and capable
of executing regulations which he is
pleased to promulgate.
= The Southern papers are having a
good deal to say ar present about truck
gardening and how it kept the panic away
from many cities and towns of the South.
A Norfolk VA paper says that just as
the panic had about reached Mason and
Dixon's line on its march southwark it
was met and in many places stopped by
the Southern truck and fruit crop. This
crop represented S5,O0O,00O to the people
of Norfolk and vicinity, and their "banks,
manufacturers and other business men
stood safely behind the bulwark and
withstood the assaults of the enemy"
Many of the annual reports from the
county school commissioners have been
received by the superintendent OF edu-
cation, and glance over the figures on
the enrolment and attendance columns
reveals a strange state Of affairs. The
figures show, in the first place, that du.-
ring the past year, as compared
to the year previous, there has been
good increase in both the enrolment and
the average attendance. Again they
by the State are but poorly attended by
the white children, while the negroes
have far more benefits from them. There
are only one or two counties where the
number Of whites attending the schools
is greater than that OF the negroes, and in
some counties the schools are maintained
almost entirely for the benefit of the col
ored population, The figures also show
that the white males scarcely attend these
schools at all. This applies also 10 the
colored males. The females attending the
public schools are, in many instances, al
most double the number Of males.-Co-

= According to the Chicago Herald,
England is suffering from the tendency
of unemployed laborers to flock into the
cities, Just as this country is. In Eng
land, however, many of the idle men are
agricultural laborers, for whom there is
no work. In the United States the sup
ply of farm hands never exceeds the de-
mand, and it is safe to say that every one
of the unemployed of the great cities
could now secure work on the farms of
the northwest, The tendency in both
countries is the same, however. The
idle man invariably turns to the city
where is no earthly chance of getting
work, rather than remain in the villages
or in the rural districts where COMPETE
ton is less keen and where the opportu-
nifty for at least earning q living is ten
times greater, Until some remedy is
found for this gregarious tendency there
will always be glut of labor in the cities
while the farmer will suffer for the lack
of necessary assistance in taking care of
his crops. It is unfortunate, too, that
