The Jewish Messenger is evidently of the
opinion that liberality In religion may be
carried a trifie too far on occassiors
Ihus, II says; During the recent absence
of Rev. Dr.. Landsberg Of Rochester his
pulpit was occupied, by his invitation for
two successive Saturdays by a Unitarian
ana UnlVersalist clergymen respectfully.
OF course, this is a matter which primar-
ily concerns his congregation, but IL il
lustrates the growing fellowship between
Jewish ministers of DR.. Landsberg's type
and our Unitarian and universities
friends. Rev. Dr. Wise may object to any
definition Of Judaism as leading to dogma;
yet American lsraelites who share Leo y
Lewis views to a greater or less degree
VIII have their fears siren gthend by DR.
Landsbsrg s course. although was purely
an act of courtesy on his part to friends
in the Christian clergy. There can be little
DOUBT, however, that the practice of cour-
tesy can be carried toe. far-particularly
IN religious functions. In the tabled city
of Blanktown re habit of employing non
jewish chorislerS LED TO the engagement
OF a non-Jewish preacher TO indicate the
lberality of a churchagogue. We do nor
believe the Rochester temple would 20
quite as far as that, but the unexpected
always happens.
The kennebec, Me. Journal has OBJ
tanned from an Augusta shoe dealer a
collection of su2erstitions and sayings
gathered during a Ions experience in the
business. The dealer quoted from his
little note book a few Of these: Worth
on the heel spends a good deal;' worn

vamp, look out for scamp" worn on
the toes, spend as he goes" worn on

As a rule giants are not long-lived.
says the National Poular Review. They
have too many gauntlets to run; being
giants-that being anything over 9 feet
they naturally drift into the show bust
ness and are thenceforth incarcerated in
vans close rooms, and the dingy and
efiluVia laden air of the XhibtiOn room.
Their not OVerresisting lungs inhale the
combined efiluVia and aroma that arise
from the lungs, skin and not over-clean or
oVeT-weli-aired clothes of their many adj
mrers, all of which is not conducive to
either health or long life 1t would seem
reasonable to believe that giant-be he
or 10 feet tall-Who is well-formed and who
has every organ in just proportion to his
bulk, should live as long as a small man
or as long as his heridity might otherwise
would seem probable, but when we come
to well analyze the subject and compare
the actual facts, we find that something
or other always goes wrong, and that
owing to many an IF" we find that our
giant dies early'as a rule. Some one or
gan goes wrong and the great machine
comes 10 stop; or some organ does not
keep pace with the rest of the increase in
bulk, and he goes halting and squeaky, or
either an oVerwork or an underworld here
or there and physiological inadequacy
OF some sort is the result, with d general
deterioration of the whole structure and
with a finally premature death. In other
words there is sure to be a falling link in
the physiological scheme of these abnor-
NAL beings, which, by giving way breaks
the continuity of the chain of life, and
that Independent of any of these moral
deNnquencies which are but too often the
cause of an early break down. 1t is sim
ply mat the whole structure would not
work abnormally in every detail.
