DIR. Wolfe ana His Ceorgina.

In 'front.' OF us stood stout, short elder
ly man, an unmistakable Hebrew in fca-
lures and complexion. He spoke English
nuently, but with an extremely strong
foreign accent, and his manner and phrase
ology were peculiar, in fashion which
made 1t very difficult to listen to him with
the seriousness which his subject demand
ed. He enlarged on his work in Palestine
and Asia Minor generally, which had I'M
doubtedly been of a most praiseworthy de-
scription, but when he proceeded to illus
trate the customs of his race by chanting
some of tbeir native songs in "a high pitched
voice, IL proved very difficult for me, light
hearted enough in those days, TO hear him
with due calm and decorum. Even his inn
itation OF the lamentations of the Jews at
the wailing place outside the walls Of fallen
Jerusalem which ought to have been deep
ly pathetic, became from his information
and style exactly the reverse

Photography and Ducks.

One of the most remarkable accuse
tons brought against the new photog-
raphy is that Of an American Field
writer, who says: II think photogra-
ply has done Il great deal TO decrease
the supply of ducks, which," he very
properly adds, will be news, no
doubt, " TO many of his readers. Sports
men have been saying that nothing but
general adoption of cameras instead of
firearms will save the game, and now to
run up against such statement as that
is, TO say the least, astonishing.
1t appears that for the purpose of
perfecting the picture albumen must be
used, and this can be procured only
from eggs. Chicken eggs are too valua-
bic as food; therefore the Hebrides is
lands of Scotland, Lodofoden of Nor
way, Labrador, Greenland, South Amer
lea, and III fact every conceivable breed
ing ground of wild birds is robbed of
eggs by natives or men from extensive
sailing expeditions. This is especially
hard on the ducks of various kinds, par
ticularly in Labrador, where they breed
in thousands of nests to the square mile,
while the scavenger birds of the sea, the
various gulls and terms, suffer from
these depredations. The birds cannot
stand this drain long, and the question
arises, What will happen when all the
eggs are gone?

EARLY RISERo.

The lazy young persons who enjoy

professional wisdom. Getting up early

This is all right and as 1t should be,
but the necessity exists for early rising,

ant as ii is, there is no alternative for
the great masses of the people. If one
would prosper in business or any occu-

The Monetary club held its second

giving an outline of the history OF money

was applauded.
There was a short discussion OF the
paper and then the club took up the
work OF defining the different terms used
so freely in speaking of the question.
This got things started in the way of a
discussion, for no agreement as to the
proper definition OF money could be
reached for some time. The other topics

was three blocks from the engine house

amounted to nothing. Yesterday was
