CONSUMPTION.
Alarmingly Prevalent Among the
London Jews.

What Elkan Alder said at the annual
r, Getting Of the Jewish Convalescent
Home on Tuesday last about consump-
tien deserves attention. Although he
spoke as a subscriber rather than an
ht norary officer of that excellent char
ity, he must necessarily possess, ex-offi-
clio, sufficient knowledge of the relative
prevalence of sickness among the Jew
ish poor Of London to clothe his state
E-ent with considera BILE authority We
Ray take 1t that the experience of the
medical and other officers of the home
points to two facts. In the first place,
consumption has become alarmingly
prevalent among our poor, though it
had previously been almost unknown.
And in the second place it is one of the
sequelae of the persecution of our CO.
religionists in Russia. 1t is rather in
that light that we would now regard it.
1t is one of those unforeseen and indi-
rect consequences of a line of action
which are often infinitely more terrible
than such as are direct.
1t would be attributing to the gov
erning bodies in Russia a policy more
fiendish than any devised by Macchia-
velli to charge them with an intentional
deterioration of the Jewish physique.
But they have crowded the cities of the
Pale with hundreds of thousands of
wretched paupers who were once earn
ing decent livings all over Russia. Life
within the Pale has become intolera-
ble, and thousands have escaped across
the frontier with the hope of reaching
the free west. The abler- bodied manage
TO get through to America, but the less
fit stay behind in England. Their phys
ique has been undermined by their
weary wandering across the continent
They flock to the least healthy and al
ready over-crowded quarter of the city.
They are not acchmatiZed to our Lon
den fog. They choose the least healthy
trades-such as that of tailor s
ri iesser-Which involve constant stoop-
ing, and the wages of which is lung and
chest disease. OF course they become
consumptive, and not only are their
own lives in peril. but they endanger
those of their neighbors.
We quite agree that it is the duty of
our community to do something to bat
tie with this consumption. But the dam
ger can never be adequately averted un-
til the original cause is removed And
we agree with Mr.. Adler that the pros
rects of this are distinctly brighter 1t
does seem probable that the fierce hat
red of the Russian oppressor is grow
ing weaker. The Emperor and his con-
sort are too closely allied to our own
RI yal house to be other than inclined
to mercy and liberation They have in
several instances shown that they can
rise superior to the cast-iron preiudices
of the officialsm which is Russia s
curse. And If only the true facts of the
prosecutions and their horrible and far
II aching consequences could be brought
To the knowledge of the Car, we feel
sure that the days of Russian anti
Semitism would speedily be ended

The NJ - ,nOf Swallows.

A Dutch COZ ~5pondent writes. "Arn-
hem. the capital of the province of
Gueldelrand, as is known. is situate,1
upon the Rhine. which is crossed by a
bridge. Passing over it one day las
week, one of my friends witnessed a
remarkable scene. Myriads of swaI-
lows, apparently those living in the en-
virons, were crowded together. as they
do every year in exactly the same place.
When they flew up. which they did sew
eral times before starting for good. the
mass looked like a huge black moving
column. When they came down again.
it was done with a deafening shrilI and
shrieking, or whistling, or p,ping-a
curious noise, which it is almost irnpos-
sible to describe. 1t seems as if they
wanted to make sure that all co,1ld
stand the voyage, for many were fallen
upon by great numbers of the others.
" no pecked them to death
after different false starts they went
away like whirldwind leaving upon
the fields those that probably were too
weak and so were murdered first by
their companions. People NAV woned
how these birds in different countries
start upon almost the same day The
mystery must be solved by ornitholo-
gists. For my part. think that as soon
as the days shorten they depart, as
they need much longer evening light to
catch the thousand of gnats they want
every day. ay.'-Westminster Gazette.

New York poor whose hearts are quite
as large as Mr.. Booth-Tucker's," says
the New York Independent land
whose knowledge of the conditions to be
contended with is immeasurably grea-
ter, who are deeply distressed by this
ill-advised programme. The teachings
of experience are not to be lightly re-
garded in SO serious matter as this,
and the experience Of the English
speaking race since the enactment of
the famous poor law of Elizabeth has
over and over again demonstrated that
the one most certain, and, on the whole,
most cruel way to increase pauperism
and crime is to provide an uncondi-
tional relief for the apparently home
less. This very experiment of Shelf
ers' has been going on for some time in
London, with most evil results. For
many years the most intelligent and de-
voted philanthrophy of this city has
been fighting against great odds to di-
minish vagrancy. The programme of
the Salvation Army, if carried out,
would bring to New York this winter
thousands of young and able-bodied
men from country towns, in nominal
search of work, which would not be
found, and hundreds of them would in
evitably become habitual vagrants."
eve sometimes talk about the debt
we owe to religious art, but it may be
questioned whether religious art has not
done as much to mislead the student
of the Bible as to enlighten him. re-
marks the New York Examiner"
Bapt). when art represents our
Lord with an effulgent halo around his
head, it perverts history at vital
point. 1t was one of the marked fea-
lures of our Lords life on earth that
there was absolutely nothing in his ap-
pearance to distinguish him from any
other Galiean peasant, except 1T were
the lofty moral expression, the purity
and love and usefulness which shone in
his face. He was a man; he appealed
for recognition to the moral nature OF
men, which instinctively, and despite
itself, could not but respond to his high
character. He did not depend upon any
supernatural halo; it is falsifying of
history to represent him as so adorned.
Nowhere has art been more misleading
than in its representation of baptism of
our Lord. The popular delineation
which represents John the Baptist as
pouring water from a shell upon the
head of Jesus is most absurd and mis-
leading. We often wonder that the
painters did not take the trouble to in
form themselves as to what the teach
ing of history is in this matter

census of all the stupid people in his
empire, and let him have the correct
list The Vizier set to work, and at the
head of the list, which was a very long
one, he placed the name of his sovereign.
The latter happened to be in a good
humor, and merely inquired how he
came to merit that distinction.
Sire" the Minister replied, II have
entered you on the list because only two
days ago you intrusted large sums of

But that amt all. On my recovery it
was soon whispered about among the

that Wanatah had saved me. Some
four weeks later Mary came running
to us early one morning and amid sobs
and wailing said Mary heap bad

two miners who had accompanied Jack
Osborne and fled had found out Wana-

child, thinking that they had murdered
Mary instead of the little child on whom
they did not figure. They made a good
job of it, for neither father nor child
made the slightest noise and it remained
for Mary to wake up in the morning and
find her loved ones dead on either side

THE FURNISHING OF A SMALL PARLoR.
Pianofor.e Teaching.

Professor Waetzoldt, director OF the
ROYAL school in Berlin, is reported as
having made the following observations
on pianoforte teaching in his annual
report:
''It may be affirmed that the home
music practice of girls is more response
BILE for this nervousness and weakness,
from which many of them suffer, than
the much blamed school Pianoforte
teaching should !, not begin before the
twelfth year. Moreover, music should
only be studied by healthy girls music
ally gifted, of whom it may be expected
that their playing will one day give
pleasure to their fellow creatures. OF
100 girls who learn to play the piano 80
attain after years of labor to only Ger
tain automatic skill, which not only pos
sesses no relation to artistic execution.
but is even destructive of the capacity
for genuine musical expression. The
endless claims made upon the time and
strength of growing girls by teachers OF
music must be stoutly resisted by par
ents and school authorities. 1t is neither
necessary nor desirable that we should
have mediocre or bad pianists, bat 1t is
necessary that our girls should remain
fresh and healthy in body and mind. -

BE CAREFUL AND 90 NOT OVER
FURNISH THIS ROOM.

Introduce Furniture That Is Light and
Graceful and Ia Keeping With an part
ment Of Restricted Size-Louis Seize and
Empire StyIes-A Good Color Scheme.
In furnishing a small parlor, or, IL
fact, any room Of restricted size, the err
ror of overcrowding should be avoided.
Do not overfprnish and select only such
furniture as is simple. light and graceful
in shape and with ornamentation IN
keeping with the character of the apart
ment.
A small parlor lighted with but one
window fCr1-ed rho subject for an illus
trated description in The Art Amateur.
In this suggestions were taken from both
the Louis Seize and the empire styles so
as to avoid the stiffness of the latter and
the extreme delicacy of workmanship
required in the former. An important
feature was that aDy-object put into this
parlor, including the mantel with its
oval mirror, can be bought ready made
and at moderate prices.
A good color scheme for such room
would be yellow and white for the wal!s
and dark blue and gray or dark and pale
blue for the upholstery and draper1es.
The room being small the color Of the
wall paper should in any case be light
and it's pattern small and simple like
that here suggested by the craftsman.
In the particular apartment that we
have in mind the ground color Of the
paper is sulphur yellow and the orna
ment of wreaths and sprays, disposed IL
vertical stripes, is of deeper and dullel
shade of yellow.
The woodwork of the mantel is enam
eled a cream color. The applied orna
ments are cast in brass. The tiles abou
the fireplace are yellow, with white dot
framed in with a brass moldlng. LII
paintings are high in key and have dec
orative gilt frames. The chandelier is
simple one of brass, with glass globe
which give a warm yellowish tone t
the light.

anv attention has been paid to this fact

woman cares to mount chair or table

tials. The wedding will take place the
latter part of May, probably the 9oth. al
though no definite date has vet been de-
cided upon.
The ceremony is to be conducted with
the utmost simplicity. On account of the

ding is to be celebrated at the Williams
cottage at San Rafael. None but the i'm.
mediate relatives of both the high con.
tracing parties are to be present. The
only attendant of the bride will be her
sister, Miss Juliet Williams, who is to
ofhciate as maid of honor. Harry Stetson
Is to be best man. Contrary to all ex-
pectations there is to be no post nuptial re-
ception, the happy young couple depart
ing Immediately after the ceremony for
an EXTENDED European trip.
Miss Jennie Blair, who was preparing to
leave for Europe to join her brother in his
tour of the Continent, has been obliged to
postpone her visit on account of Mr..
Blair's sudden departure for home Mr..
Blair was so homesick that even the gay
European capitals possessed no charms for
him, and he departed suddenly for home.
