photograph, if such a thing were possible.
His hatred of everything that pertains to
shoddyism and sham makes itself apparent
in every page. Many prominent London
Israelites have unconsciously sat for pic
lures of themselves, and, to one who has
lived among London Jews, the pictures
are wonderful in their fidelity. Like
Dickens and Thackeray and Disraei,
Zangwill has spared none, and this fact
has led to some terrible chickering's and
heartburnings.
The pathetic, too. forms a considerable
factor in Zangwill's pictures of London.
His description of the death of Benjamin
tive of Dickens in its pathos. In his second
volume of Ghetto pictures, called 1.-THE
Grandchildren of the Ghetto there are sew
eral passages which exhibit a dramatic
force that is remarkable. Instance the de-
scription of Leonard James escapade with
a variety actress on the eve OF the EaSs-
over festival and its discovery by his
father.
Since the. publication of the "ChiIdren
of the Ghetto Zangwill has published two
novels. 1.-The King of the Schnorrers,"
which appeared serially in the Idler in
1898, is seventeenth century tale, and is
delicious sketch ridiculing the aristo-
cratic proclivities of the Spanish and Por-
tuguese Hebrews. The character of Ma
nasseh Bueno BarZillai Azavedo da Costa
has its prototype in many directions in
London and New York, even at the present
day.
Among his other and lighter works may
be mentioned 1.-The Bachelors Club" and
'The Old Maids Club They are airy
trifies, good summer reading, but by no
means the works by which Zangwill's
ability as an author must be estimated.
They can appropriately be termed the des-
seTt to be taken after consuming his other
works
1.-THE Master''sis the latest novel from
ZangwilPs pen. 1t tells about the trials
and fluctuations of a Nova Scotian boy
who goes to London to study art, aud in
cidentally to discuss morality with those
who have peculiar conceptions of its mean
ing. 1t is the story of the evolution of the
young boys soul. and shows Zangwill at
his best. The book has been received
with much favor both in America and in
Europe, and, in fact, it is the book that
people are reading at present.
Looking at Israel Zangwill as he is to-
day, one is impelled to marvel at the rapid
strides he has made in the affections of
English-speaking people. He first showed
in THE Children of the Ghetto" that he
was an able chronicler of the doings and
everyday life of peculiar people. 1t was
said at that time by some of his critics
worth reading. His second great work,
"The Master" proved how far wrong his
critics were. 1t is a good step ahead of
the Ghetto series of pictures, and serves to
show that his creative ability is in no
sense second to his power of 'interpreta-
ton. He interpreted the Ghetto, but he
created 1.-The Master" Little more than
youth. he has made for himself a name
which will live while there exists in the
world an appreciation of genius and an adj
miration for talent. EMANUEL ELIAS.

Was IT Nerve. or What :?

sThe most remarkable exhibition of
nerve / ever saw" said G. A. Rodney, gen.
eral manager of the Vandalia, occurred
on a Pennsylvania train. l was going
East, and in the same car with me were a
woman and her husband who were travel
ing from the West to New York. The first
morning out the woman got out of her
berth and told the porter that her husband
desired to sleep, as he was not well.
"All that day the man remained in his
bed, while his wife read the papers, played
cards, and acted just the same as the other
passengers. In the evening the porter
insisted on making up the berth, and,
pulling back the curtains, he was hor-
rifed to find that the man was dead. It
was demonstrated that he had died some
time during the previous night. The
woman knew it, but explained that she
did not give the alarm because she was
very anxious to reach her destination, and
she was afraid that if the conductor knew
her husband was dead she would have to
leave the train.
''AlI that day she rode, knowing that
her husband was a corpse few feet dis
tant from her. and yet she never betrayed
the fact, and if the porter had not insisted
on changing the bed it is likely that she
would have reached New York before the
death of her husband was discovered.
The corpse was taken from the train near
Pittsburg. | have heard of nerve, but
that beats anything that ever came to my
knowledge. "-Chicago Mail.

and equestrians, as well as small portion
of the usual curiosity seekers. The staTs
to whom he had surrendered his laureis
were decidedly not in evidence.
Jim Crows" grave surroundings are
extremely unique. He lies on the brow OF
knoll in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn,
under long, weather-beaten marble slap,
which completely covers his grave, and Z,
large dogwood tree is working its roots All
about his forgotten tomb. His wife, who
passed away in August, 1913, at the early
age of 35. and his two infant children, are
also resting beneath this dusty slab, over
which dandelions and clover blossoms run
riot. All sorts of odd characters are
slum bering around him. George Harrlng-
ton Christy, who was also versatile
as 'Boss Tweed; Francis d. Moulton,
the mutual friend" of the Beecher trial,
and William Niblo, of Niblo's Garden
fame, are nearby tenants in the Quiet City.
Years before his departure from life,
stJim Crow expressed wish to his bosom
friends, Charles M. Barras, the author OF
the "Black Crook" and I" George, the
Count Joannes," that there be engraved on
his coffin the number of days he had lived,
instead of the years, but his surviving
kindred did not heed his strange request.
Despite his innumerable eccentricities,
Thomas Dartmouth Rice was royal
hearted man and very much loved by
those who knew him best, and with that
epitaph we will leave him as he rests under
the sod of Greenwood.
Nor further seek his frailties to disclose,
Or draw his frailties from their dread abode,
There they alike in trembling hope repose,
The bosom of his Father and his God.

A VALUABLE DIME.
That Coined in the San Francisco Mint
in 1894 Worth Five Dol
lars.

Whoever has dime of 1894, coined by
the San Francisco mint, has a coin for
which S. has already been offered, and
when all the facts are known regarding its
scarcity it is not unlikely that it will COM
mand a much higher premium.
Inquiry at the mint elected the informa-
ton that during the fiscal year of 1894
only twenty-four dimes were coined at the
san francisco mint. How this came
about was told by Chief Clerk Robert
Barnett:
"All uncurrent subsidiary coins, viz.
those containing other than the design
now being used when received at the sub
treasury, are not again allowed to go into
circulation, but are sent to the mint to be
recoined with the current design. In the
course of the year 1894 we received large
sum in these coins, but having an ample
stock of dimes on hand, it was not in
tended to coin any of that denomination
in 1894. However, when nearly all this
subsidiary coin bullion had been utilized,
we found on our hands a quantity that
would coin to advantage only into dimes,
and into dimes it was coined, making Just
) twenty-four of them.
"My attention was first drawn to the
