AN FRESHMAN AND A JEW.
A Business Partnership That Has Been En-
tIrely Satisfactory.


There is an up town business firm
one Of the members Of which is an Irish
man and the other n jew. The Irish.
man was born in Cork and the Jew in
Cracow. They have been in partnership
for several years, during which they
have built up Furnishing business
The Irishman is beardless; the Jew has
a flowing black beard. The Irishman is
of the type Of Rory OMoore; the Jew
Is of the type of Moses.
They are mutual admiration pair,
and each has solid respect for the
other. The Irishman is rare wit; the
Jew is solemn as the Talmud. The Irish
man has a fine Corkonian brogue; the
native speech Of the jew is the Polish
jargon. which he mixes with his Eng
lish.
The Jrishman looks after the firms
finances; the jew attends to the buying
and selling. The Irishman is strict
Catholic and goes to church on Sun
day; the jew is vigorously orthodox
and goes to synagogue on Saturday.
The Irishman is ''pudgy," the jew is
lean. They agreed never to talk upon
religion, about which they disagree;
but, as the one is a bimetallic Democrat
and the other n Democratic monometal-
list, they can always find a subject for
friendly argument.
The Irishman is older than the Jew,
but the Jew is taller than the Irishman.
Both the Irishman and the jew have
large families, and the children Of both
attend the same school. Most of the off
spring Of the 1rishman are girls, and
most Of those of the Jew are boys.
The favorite tipple of the Irishman is
ale, and that of the jew is wine The
Irishman is quick tempered; the Jew is
slow to wrath. These two business part.
ners, one of them from Cork and the
other from Cracow, have carried on
their establishment successfully for
years in this city, have divided the
profits evenly every quarter, have never
had quarrel that lasted more than q
minute and have made enough money
to raise them above tho cares of life.
Surely they deserve to grow rich. New
York Sun.

A remarkable instance of affection be-
tween dog and cow is related by a
suburbanite. His little black Scotch ter
rier became infatuated with "a small
Jersey COW in his ncighborhood, and
every morning he would run off to the
pasture where his bovine sweetheart
was kept. He would slip out the side
way and walk along with the COW. He
often missed his breakfast and often did
not taste a mOuthful all day. When she
munched grass by the roadside, he pa
tently sat on his launches until she
moved along. Sometimes he was con-
fined at home to break up the habit, but
as soon as he was released OFF he would
go at a full run for the pasture, sim
CLING out his love from the herd of cattle
and following close at her heels. He
would jump up, lick her feet and show
signs of greatest joy when he came to
her, While the COW on her part did not
appear to appreciate his attentions she
did not hook him away. Finally the
family grew tired of keeping dog that
remained away during the day and only
came home for his supper and to spend
the night and gave him to persons liv-
ing some distance in the country. The
COW, who had never seemed to notice
any of his demonstrations Of affection,
missed his companionShip when he was
gone. She would come to his former
home at evening, put her head over the
palings and low. She did this at inter
walls for several months. Sioux City

THE BREAD OF THE WORLD.
What This Important Food Is Made Of II
Different Countries.

Different Countries.
In England and America wheat bread
Is within the reach of all, and scarcely
is thought given to the fact that only
q small portion Of the earth's inhabit-
ants enjoy it. 1t is only during the last
century that wheat bread has come into
common use. A hundred years ago
wealthy families in England used only
a peck Of wheat a year and that at
Christmas, eating oat cakes during the
remainder Of the time.
The German "pumpernickel" is a
rye bread with curious, sour taste. but
after eating it awhile one acquires quite
. taste for 1t. 1t is less nutritious than
that Of wheat. In the poorer parts Of
Sweden the people bake their rye bread
only twice year and store 1t away, so
that eventually 1t is as hard as bricks.
Farther north still barley and oats be-
come the chief bread corn. BSt in the
distinct north is where man Is put to
thought to provide himself with bread.
In Lapland if a man trusted to grain he
would starve, SO the people exc ont
their scanty store Of oats with the inner
bark of the pine, and after grinding this
mixture it is made into large fat cakes,
which, after all. are not half bad.
In dreary Kamohatka the pine or
birch bark by itself, we'll ground. pound
cd and baked, constitutes the whole Of
the native bread food. Bread and butter
10 represented by dough Of pine bark
spread with seal fat. In certain parts Of
Siberia the people not only grind the
pine bark, but cut Off the tender shoots,
which procedure must give the bread an
unpleasantly resinous flavor.
In Iceland the lichen is soraped off the
rock, made into bread buildings and put
into soup. In Russia and China buck
wheat is pressed into service. 1t makes
a palatable bread, though of dark VIC,
let tinge.
In Italy and Spain chestnuts are cook
ed. ground into meal and used for bread
and soup thickening. Millet furnishes a
white bread in Arabia. Egypt and India.
This grain Is credited with being the
very first used in breadInaking.
Rice bread Is still the staple food Of
the Chinese, Japanese and Indians.
In the Indian archipelago the starchy
pith Of the sage palm is made into bread,
and in parts Of Africa the natives use q
certain root for the same purpose.

is no unusual occurrence to find at the
end that each player has 10 tricks.
1t is difficult in such short space to
give any reliable hints for players, but
any one accustomed to whist will fall
into the way at once. Obviously, how
ever, it is not always an advantage to
take the card which is turned up, and
in the case Of this being low one a
speculative player will often lead the
lowest card in his hand in the hope Of
drawing something better underneath.

to playing the last - cards, finds him

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo,
writes: For six wears | have been
sufferer from a sCrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. C.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before | had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now il is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had ! only used your SIS. long ago,
/ would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50
This experience Is like that OF all who
suffer with decp-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
neutlv.

GE nNHN WHIST.
One OF the Few Interesting Games of Cards
For Two Hands.

-~NNNN-''
There are, for some undiscovered rea.
sou, very few simple two handed card
games. And Of these the best, and per,
haps the least known, is German whist
Essentially game Of skill, there is a
sufficient element Of luck combined 10
insure a good game even between two
unequal players and the issue is always
more or less uncertain until the last mo.
luent.
An ordinary pack Of whist cards is all
that is required, and Is far as play is
concerned the rules of whist are almost
entirely applicable. Thirteen cards are
dealt to each player, as in the ordinary
four handed game Instead, however,
Of turning up the twenty. sixth card, the
twenty seventh card is placed face up
ward on the remainder Of the pack Tho
suit of this card remains trumps through
out the game.
The dealers vis-a-vis plays first by
leading a card, and the dealer must fol
low suit az in whist, OF, if he cannot,
either trump or throw away a useless
card.
The first trick is now on the table,
and whoever picks it up draws the
trump card from the top Of the pack.
The card below this is drawn by the
loser. who does not show its face. The
third card on the pack is now turned
up and will belong to the winner of the
second trick, the loser again drawing
the card underneath, and SO on through
out the pack In this way the player
has 10 cards in his hand until the end.
As tricks of two are difficult to keep
distinct, it is generally found advisable
to pile them indiscriminately for the
time being and to count them out at
the end of each game

teth year. She sent the design to the
Worlds fair, where it took the second
prize. 1t was her first attempt, but its
artistic qualities at once attracted atten-
ton and won for her the commission for
q heroic statue for the Wisconsin state
building.
Tho statue represents a beautiful
young woman, draped in an American
flag, standing with uplifted face and
caressing an eagle which perches just
above her shoulder on rock against
which she is leaning. The bird of free
dom is an idealization of "Old Abe"
the historic eagle which perched on the
cOlors Of a Wisconsin regiment during
the civil war, and which was captured
and cared for with tender solicitude in
the statehouse for years afterward. The
title of the statae is THE Genius Of
Wisconsin" and is an admirable concep.
ton, executed with much skill il not
genius. 1t is said that Miss Mears had
never seen statue when she made her
design, but she has seen many since and
bids fair 10 become one of the most suc-
cessful Of the younger school of sculp-
tors.
Her first success gained for her the
notice Of Augustus st. Gaudens, the IA
nous New York sculptor, and at his in
vitation she worked in his studios for
moro than year. She was engaged dur
ing that time in working on the Logan
statue. A short time ago she sailed for
Paris, with a letter from Mr.. st. eau.
dens to Mr.. MacMonnies, recommending
her to his care as one Of tho strongest
pupils he had ever had Miss Mears was

Double OuiCk.

An ancient resident of Willowby,
whose conduct in one of the battles of
the civil war had brought him under
suspicion Of cowardice, was naturally
indisposcd to admit that he had played
any but manly part.
Il didn't run away and stay till
twas all over; no such thing, he al
ways affirmed. Il reiterated in good or
der; that was all. Twas "a time for re-
treating, if ever there was one, and ac-
cordingly l used my judgment and re,
treated"
This statement was regarded as more
or less satisfactory up to the day when
a military gentleman came to visit a
cousin in WillOwby, and i'll the course
of conversation held at the village
store one evening heard the oft repeated
explanation.
We'll, my friend, he said, looking
steadily at the hero Of the retreat, you
