Miss Alice c. Fletcher, who has de-

of the Indians of the northwest, has
been elected one of the sectional vice
presidents of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. The
honors of Miss Fletcher are the first of
the sort extended TO woman by the as

The queen of Portugal decided to
doctor her own husband, since he found
It hard to mind his other physicians.
Her personal influence over her royal
spouse being great she hoped to do
something for his malady, excessive
eorpulence. For this she studied med
feline and passed a medical examina-
ton. Her patient is improving under
her directions.
"A very marked change has come
over the prince of Wales of late.
he has grown nervous, restless, and
disconnected. He looks older than his
years would warrant, and his eyes have
around them lines that tell of sleepless
nights and uncomfortable thoughts. It
is said that his physicians have ordered
him to curtail the amount of tobacco
in which he has been in the habit of

One of the most extraordinary in
dividual superstitions of the present
time is that of an Italian marchioness
who carries about with her a bottle il
which is imprisoned IN insect of the
sort called "multiped"-a wood worm
with many feet. This lady, who rs not
considered insane by those who know
her, never does anything involving
risk without taking out this bottle and
holding it in her hand.
Pope Leo's niece has just become

TALENTS OF THE JEW.
Famous In Finance, Philosophy, Medicin,
and Music.

Famous In Finance. Philosophy, Medicint
and Music.
Some one has been at the pains re-
Gently to make an analysis of the char
scteristics of more than $4,000 prolni-
neIt men of modern time. with special
reference to the Jew sh race. The re-
suits are curious and interesting. They
bear testimony also 10 the remarkable
versatility ard adaptability of the jew
ish people and their tenacity of pur-
pose, even under the most adverse con-
dItions.
Although Moses, the greatest of law
givers, and Joshua. one of the most
brilliant and successful generals, were
OF the Jewish race, in modern times the
Jews are less distinguished than m=n
of other creeds generally as statesmen
and soldiers. They have no distinc-
ton whatever as agricultnrists, en-
gravers, sailors and explorers.
There greatest service to the world
has been accomplished in the capacity
of actors, doctors, financiers, meta
physicians, musicians, poets and phi
losophers. IN all these lines of human
thought and endeayor they have con-
tributed many illustrious, immortal
names.
Astronomical science has no brighter
name upon its roll than Herschel, the
Jew, and mathematics boasts no great
er service than that which it received
at the hands of jacob Cremona. In
biology also the once despised Hebrew
has made his mark. Bernstein, Re
max, Rosenthal and Valentine have
done large service as psychologists;
Cohnheim, Hirsch, Liebrich, Lombroso
and Trouble as pathologists will, per-
haps, be recognized, while F. Cohn is,
perhaps, the third greatest botanist in
Germany to-day.
But it is in the realm of music that
the genius of the Jew has had it's largest
development and accomplished the
most brilliant and original results. One
has only TO think of the wonderful
achievements of such masters of the art
divine as Mendelssohn, bieyerbeer and
Rubinstein, 10 say IL thing of Mosch-
eles and Haley, to rLalize how poor the
world would be had not these en- Of
the Jewish race lived and wrought as
they did. Surely tie mantle of David,
the poet king of Israel and the great
master of sacred song, has fallen on
not one, but many Of his descendants
IN these later days.-London News.

Several of the prisoners are in the
convent for killing their own children;
some for killing, or trying to kill, their
husbands; others for stealing or en-
bezzling; others, again, for no more
serious crime than begging. There are
all degrees of guilt there, in fact, and
all ages, from girls of IS to women Of
nearly so. And they all live together
on terms of perfect equality, for there
are no distinctions of rank there-no
one is better or worse than her neigh

time being, not only with the outside

is conducted. For instance, Z limited
number Of free or sample copies and
| of exchanges is carried as a matter of
courtesy, charging tthe regular tax OF
| 25 per cent; when papers are delivered
at residences by letter-carriers there is
an additional charge, amounting, N the
| case of daily papers, to 10 cents a year.
While this method has some conven-
fences, they are counterbalanced by
drawbacks. Its principal recommended
ton is that IL is cheaper than mailing
each copy in a separate wrapper at
the regular rate of postage for printed
matter. which is the alternative offered
TO publishers,
Some of the tnindrances TO which
newspapers are subject in Germany,
and which would seem intolerahle 20
Americans, are the incidental results
Of the general scheme of legislation.
Thus, newsdealers and newsboys must
have a license, but so must all itinerant
vendors; a newspaper may not post
bulletin of its contents, because the
Prussian law prohibits the exhibition
of placards. More serious consequen-
ces arise from the fact that in Germany
the telegraph and the telephone are a
monopoly of the government, which
claims and exercises the right Of refus-
ing TO forward any message which the
officials consider detrimental or OBJ
jectionable.
In the matter of copywright for news
paper articles the law does not seem to
be entirely settled. News is considered
a s public property and not copyright
able. On the other hand, literary pro-
auctions and scientific discussions may
not be reprinted without permission,
and as a general thing any article of
any length can be brought under the
same protection by printing a notice
to that effect a the head of il.
From the llaSUy view here presented,
and which, of necessity, could take into
account only the salient points of the
law and custom, II viii be seen that the
press laws of Germany partake of the
paternalism and Of the faith in bure
aucratic guardianship characteristic of
the country. 1t should be remembered
that there was a time, not so very
long ago, when English newspa pers al
most had the life taxed out of them and,
TO go further back, when editors risked
imprisonment and the pillory if they
presumed to report the proceedings OF
parliament In Germany, France, and
Italy there has been a gradual relaxing
Of the severity Of the press laws during
the past half-century, and where the
letter Of the law has retained its old
time harshness it has been mitigated
in practice by the milder spirit of the
age. There is a German prOveTb to the
effect that no broth is ever eaten as
hot as it is cooked; the actual condition
of the German press is by no means so
abject as one might infer who looks
only at what might legally be done to |
II by the officers of the government.

To combat this growing evil, Prof. Ed
ward z. Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., of Dart
mouth college, made nervous disea Ses
his special study. The fruitful outcome
of his long years of professional investi-
cation was Paines celery compound
Difficult nervous disorders that had per-
sisted despite long treatment, at once
yielded to it. Men and women who had
suffered for years from broken and I'M
refreshing sleep, from headaches, Theu-
matiSm and neuralgia, found that
Paine's celery compound not only speed
lily cured these troubles, but that they
worked better and felt more encourag-
ed than had been possible TO them for
years.
As a practical instance of what this
remarkable remedy is doing all over
the country, the following from Rev. DR..
VIM. A. Smith. one of the best known
divineS in Southern New England, de-
serves careful reading. DR.. Smith is

health than ever in his life, and never
loses a single good nights sleep. He

pid liver, constipation and insomnia, at
times thinking 1 should die for want
Of balmy sleep, and IT is a wonder to
me that 1 am alive today with all that
l have been through. l am wonder

Paineis celery compound. I have so
far recovered my health as 20 consider
myself a well man for my age. 1t reg

without any question. My appetite is
now good, my sleep is refreshing, my
liver active, and bowels regular, and
my crurches not needed, as 1 can walk
without a staff. People are surprised
at my improved appearance and activ-
ity. Gratefully yours,
VIM. a. SMITH.
Paine's celery compound does not stop
its res oring work till new, healthy It's
sues have taken the place of the old,
shattered portions. There is not the
deepest, most minute portion of the
body, whether il be nerve or brain, or
some vital organ. that escapes the re
juvenating, strengthening power of
Paine's celery compound. In cases Of
severe neuralgia, rheumatism. heart
palpitatiOns, dyspepsia and nervous
feebienesS, Paine's celery compound is
the only remedy that goes TO the root
of the trouble, fortifies the weakened
system against these disorders and
builds up a strong. healthy body.
