the. back. The bangs may be properly
fuffed, or the p~onpadour smoothly rolled,
as the case may be. but at the nape of the
neck and behind the ears things have been
allowed to behave just about as they chose,
without regard for brush, comb or any 9TH
er hirsute discipline. Plainly the woman
has been either too careless or too lazy, OF
too ostrich like to make use Of a hand
mirror, but the result is none the less dis
tressing to beholders. 1t has all the effect of
a paper doll whose deshabille back is ever
such a contrast to her smartly-inished
front. The omission is, Of course, grounded
in altruistic principles. Did the woman have
but the smallest consideration for others
she would be more particular about arrang-
ing that part of her hair that others are
most likely to see; that part. indeed,
which they are often obliged to stare at
for hours at a time in open street cars, at
concerts and the theater for instance. AS 1t
is, though, the woman is selhshly satisfied
if the little bit Of her head that she hap
pens to catch sight of in the course of a
haSty prlmp' is all right. But the women
are not the only offenders in this respect.

THE DAGO WON
After He Told the Jury How He Got
Even on n Horse Trade.

Denver Times.
Before donning the ermine Judge johnson
practiced law in jefferson county. One day
Frank Mazza rushed into his office and
abruptly asked;

why, yes, of course; why do you ask"

Three weeks later Mazza again came
rushing into the office in a great state of
mental agitation, and throwing a luminous
down on the table in front of Judge John
son, fairly shouted in his ear:

But" interposed Johnson, you told me
does it come that he is suing you?"
Well, l tell you. We had mother trade
since that time"
The trial of the case came on in due
course and Mazza, being put on the stand,
told his story something after this fashion,:
We'll, l so down to Meester Shamberlin's

IN the Lord We are not to be resigned
but to be glad.
David's second temptation was to delight
himself in other things than God: in his
kingdom. his strength and beauty, his
power and greatness, his family and pos
sessions, his abilities as warrior and poet.
1t was right for him to enjoy these things
as gifts from God to be used for God, but
to rejoice in them for his own SAX as OPP
posed to Gods will were wrong. Here is a
constant temptation TO those who are sue
cessful and prosperous. Even st. Paul
needed a thorn in the flesh" lest he be
pulled up by his successes and the honors
zone him. God delights to give good things
to His children, but nothing is good that
turns the mind away from Him. His bless
ipgs are not to be misused.
There were two things also in which Da-
v4d took special delight-God's sovereignty
and lis mercy. Without His sovereignty
His mercy would be only a feeble we'll
wishing to our race, and without His mercy
His sovereignty would be terror to all man
kind. David rejoiced, as should we, that
the Almighty One is the All-merciful One.
The power is for all and the mercy for all.

the Heavenly Father rive IN thao1 that ash

this freely offered remedy for all our de-

The Adaptiveness of the jew.

Prof. A. s. Isaacs, in North American Re-
view.
If the critic of Judaism desires to gauge
that religion accurately, he must familiar
iZe himself with the history of the Jew in
every land; he must follow the devious
WildingS of his record East and west. He
must account for that marvellous vitality
which has been his preservative, and the
unexampled adaptiveness which made the
Jew at home, whether he saw the Guadal-
quiVir or the ViStula at his feet, the
Thames or the Euphrates, amid the orange
groves of Sicily or the plains of Arabia
an adaptive ness which he still displays as
Argentine The critical inquirer, too,
should ascertain the Jews record in the
lands of his dispersion and his relation 10
the state, however insecure his right Of
dOmicile. Did the Jew originally seek a
Ghetto. or was it not an enforced seclusion
as if he were contamination and needed to
be kept aloof from the rest of mankind?
Did tho Jew avoid society and mlngle only
with his special clan, or was not that eN-
clusiveness fostered and maintained by civil
and ecclesiastical enactment? was the
Jew always a dealer in old clio, a money
lender, the pawnbroker of humanity? The
French Cremieux and James Darmesteter,
the English George Jessel n Moses
MOnteiore, the Dutch Godefroi and Josef
Israels, the German Edward Lasker and
Berthold Auerbach, the Russian Rubinsteln
and A~ntokolski, George Brandes in Dem
mark, Luigi Luzzati in Italy, Emma Laz-
arus in America. are names of our time,
who are but successors of illustrioGs lead
ers centuries ago in varied fields, Jews who
served the state under caliph, king and
pontif. who aided powerfully in the re-
Vival of learning, the discoveries OF science,
in the dissemination of knowledge and lit
erature The true student of Jewish his
tory. too, must become acquainted with the
inner life of the Jew and the story of the
synagogue's development, its devotional
aud intellectual range, the growth and rau-

old pieces Of carpet, which I put over them
at night. These so-called tender roses are
far more hardy that most people seem to
think, and with the slight protection de-
scribed above. they can be kept blooming

removing them to the cellar on the APP

they may be covered and left out. They

Mrs. C. B. McDonough, in How to Grow
Flowers.
To my mind there is nothing else in the
floral world that can compare with a bed
of ever-blooming roses in autumn. From the
middle of September until November they
are at the height of their glory. 1t is then
that they attain their largest size and
greatest perfection of form. The colors are
so intensified that the bushes become an
indescribably beautiful shade OF pink; the
pinks almost red, the reds crimson and the
erlnlsons almost black.
OF course they must be protected from
frost. but they richly repay the little
trouble necessary to do this. On the APP
