The distribution of the Hirsch fund of $1,00O,000 for the relief of the poor Hebrews in New York city has begun, and the methods to be pursued by those having the fund in charge are inter- esting. It is their intention to encour- age the mingling of the Jews with other races. Worthy applicants will be aided to go into other communities where there is work for them to do They are not, however, to be packed off in droves into other cities or into coun- try villages The individual relief plan Is to be carried so far as to place appli- cants on farms, but not in colonies, and always with the obligation resting up- on them to repay what has been spent for them. This entire change of policy means that the Hebrews sent into New England will go as individuals, and also that they will not go unless there is already work or farms secured for them.

The professors at the University of Pennsylvania don't feel sure that they can prevent cheating at examinations, and one of them points out curious reason why putting the students on their honor" is not always effective The boys demand, he declares, that the university authorities should treat them as gentlemen" but when this is done, and one of the students Is caught, as was the case in the examin- ations just closed, perpetrating a pe- culiarly bold piece of deception, there is an instant protest against the infiic- tion of severe punishment, and the claim is made that, though the act was indeed one unworthy of a gentleman" |" yet 1t may be pardoned as result of thoughtlessness of youth. In other words, the student and his friends too often raise double standard, resent ing suspicion on the ground that he is an adult, and demanding leniency on the plea that he is an infant.

A Proper Protest.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Permit me to write few words con- corning a matter which, I think, will be of interest to readers of your paper On a prominent business street in this city is a very disagreeable show, in the window of store frequently rented for fairs and similar entertainments. This display consists of a collection of wax heads, likenesses of murderers and va rious species of criminals One glance person with any self-respect turn away in disgust, but the windows do not lack attention from the masses. Even chil- dren gather round them, and it seems to me bad enough for grown women and men. It is cultivating a depraved and vulgar taste, and there ought to be some way of putting a stop to it. At any rate, if that sort of people must have that sort of thing let the proprle- tors move to a part of the town where other people would not be annoyed by it. As it is, the crowd blocks the side walk, and it is exceedingly disagreeable to many people.
 There are a great number of New Haveners who have similar feelings in regard to this matter, and it Is to be hoped that the trouble will be obliged to move. l..

According to correspondents of the English newspapers, sad havoc has been played with vegetation in many parts of France by the recent cold weather. Reports were published at the time of the manner in which vines had been affected in certain districts, but later information tends to show that the mischief is much greater than was originally supposed. It is in the champagne country that the most harm has been done, and there consternation prevails. In the neighborhood of Eper- nav, Dizzy, Damery, Ay and at other points all work has been suspended, and 1897 bids fair to be remembered for 6. long time as a very bad year. The trouble has not been limited to the vineyards Both fruit and corn crops have been seriously injured, and vege- tables have suffered severely. Depress- ing reports on the situation in the diff ferent departments have been received at the Ministry of Agriculture. The losses are estimated at millions upon millions of francs, and many of the peasants are practically ruined. It is expected that a large measure of gov ernment relief will be necessary.

DEAD BODIES in A BOAT
GRUESOME REMINDERS OF THE
WRECK OF THE ST. NAZAIRE.
Remains of Six Victims of the Disast ter
Found in Watcr-FilIed Boat
and Dumped Into the Sea.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The Cromwell
line steamer Creole, Captain eager, from
New Orleans. which arrived to-day. reports
that on the passage here a boat belonging
TO the Inflated French steamer Vile de st.
Nazaire, which foundered in a storm off
Hatterass on Monday, March g. was picked
up with six dead bodies in it. Captain
eager said that yesterday. in latitude 36:l7,
longitude 1880, boat was passed filed
with water. After going a short distance
he recalled the loss of the st. Nazaire, and,
thinking it might belong to her, turned the
steamer and put back. When the steamer
got alongside the boat il was seen that she
contained six bodies, lying in a heap under
the seats and the water in her was up to
the gunwale The davits were not strong
enough TO hoist her out of the water,
the forward derrick was swung over the
side and the boatswain was sent down to
hook on the tackle The tackle was first
hooked to the bow, and hosting the boat
SO as to empty some Of the water out of
her, the bodies were washed out of the
other end, and Immediately sank. The
boat was taken on board the Creole @nd
brought to port; and now lies at the steam
steamship company. The boat contained
some clothing. mostly seamens trousers
patterns, a child's sock, a nipple to nurs-
ing bottle, part of bottle of soothing
syrup and some claret bottles containing
fresh water that was found TO be quite
good. There was also quite quantity of
French bread, two cases of knives and
uniform button OF the French company's
service.
There Is some doubt as to one of the
bodies being that OF a woman. The man
who went down into the boat says there
woman, while some of the excited
passengers who crowded about, looking on
at the ghastly spectacle, said there was,
and the mate was ready to swear he saw
a woman's body. Captain eager says there
was not woman, and he thinks from the
dress and appearance of the bodies they
were part of the crew and that two Of them
were colored men.
The boat is a large one, about forty feet
long, and pointed at both ends. She has
the appearance OF being quite old and is
very much dilapidated, possibly caus3d hy
the buffeting of the waves during The thir-
teen days she had been in .he water since
the wreck. She has on the monogram of
the French Compangnie Transatlantique.
She had no oars, mast or sail when picked
up.
The survivors of the wrecked steamer
Vile de st. NaZaire who were brought to
this port are having hard struggle to
regain their health. Captain Berri, Surgeon
Maire and Engineer Sauts are still cen
fined to their rooms in the Hotel Martin.
Their condition is somewhat improved.
Progress is also reported in the cCnction
of the surviving passenger, Juan rejlda.
