Jewish Colonization.
Chicago Tribune.


The Jewish Colonization Associations
first report Of the progress thus far made in
settling Jewish refugees, chiefly from Rus
STA, in hospitable lands shows that up to
the Goth of last September some $500. 600 of
the original capital e., coo, 900 had been ex-
pended. half of il in the purchase of land
and the other half in the settlement of
families on the land. The colonies have
chiefly been established in the Argentine
Republic. One has been formed in Canada,
$50, coo acres of land in all have been pur-
chased, ami about loco families have
been there settled. The council of
the association believe that the under
taking can be made self-supporting and
established on a financially sound basis.
Five hundred families will henceforth be
settled every year. and ii is believed that
when the success OF the scheme IS clear,
there will be a large emigration of self
supporting families. Each of the families
settled by the association receives 100 acres
and $50 for buildings, plant, ETC., which
they are expected to repay in ten years.
Comment is made that while all this Is ex-
celient, Baron Hirsch's noble scheme can
make scsrcelv perceptible impression on
the mass of Jewish distress in Russia. 1t
would take, it Is urged, an emigration OF
$4,000 Jews year TO Keep down the natural
increment OF population, If calculated only
at per cent per anDum.

She had sbrill young voice that per-

The car was fun and the fond young

rather Inconsistent with her zeal in the

years since Lady Somerset inherited her

A FAMOUS MOTTO.
How 1t Originated in the Happy
Thought of a Workman.

The Million.
The following account of the origin of a
wel-known motto for timepiece whether
true or false, Is worth recording: Some
years ago new clock was made TO be placed
in the Temple Hall. When finished the
clockmaker was desired to wait on the
Benehers Of the temple. who would think
OF a suitable motto to be put under the
clock. He applied several times, but with
out getting the desired information, as they
had not determined ON the inscription.
Continuing TO importune them, he at last
came when the old Benchers were met in
the Temple Hall and had just sat down to
dinner.
The workman again requested to be in
formed of the motto; one Of the Benchers
who thought the application ill-timed and
who was fonder of eating and drinking than
inventing original notices, testify replied
"Go about your business" The mechanic,
taking this for an answer TO his question,
went home and inserted at the bottom OF
the clock "Go about your business" and
placed 1t On the Temple Hall to the great
surprise Of the Benchers, who, upon consid-
ering the circumstance, agreed that acct
dent had produced better motto than they
could think of. and ever since the temple
clock has continued TO remind the lawyers
and tho public to 90 about their business.

maker about p0stoffices and postroutes and
other similar topics he can follow their re-
marks with intelligent understanding by
looking down on the map spread out be fore
lis eyes as he sits at his desk.

Ladies' Clubs in London.

NOW sun.
Ladies' clubs in London grow in nun bers
and increase in size. One of the largest,
the Snmervlle, has over 600 members and
has recently given a large ball. 10 which
men were invited and handsomely enter
tanned, the ladies carrying out all the ar
rangements without assistance, even 10 the
choosing of their own brand of champagne.
Herein lies an important point of difference
between the club women's idea in London
and on this side. The American woman's
club serves no wine at its bauGuets. even
when men are invited. 1t called forth a
great discussion in the Twelfth Night Club
recently, when some one suggested the idea
OF serving simple punch IN the supper
room, and only a small majority stood for
the punch bowl innovation
