with the Hebrew precept which forbids
any devout believer i'll the Talmud to
regard his home on earth as anything

Lord Rothschild's particular hobby is
the Jews free school in the Whitechapel

probably the largest roster of any school

on the Stock Exchange.
Most of the French journals have a
sale de depeches, where bulletins are
displayed and museum of relics of the
paper is kept. French journalism is
much more personal in regard to its lit
erary composition than that Of England
or America. A large proportion of the
articles are signed with the names Of
tho writer's, even when the work is
more or less of q routine nature, such
as the sporting or law departments of
the paper. On the other hand, the own
ership of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is the case
In America. Very many Of the French
papers are owned by companies or asso-
Citations, while the stock of several of
the best known. such as The Figaro and
Petit Journal, is bought and sold daily
on the Stock Exchange, the quotations
appearing Us regularly as those Of rail
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation of all but a very few
OF the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents. IF paper
contains striking article, we'll adver-
tised previously, or if it's feuilleton, con-
tinued story OF memoirs, which most of
the French journals consider an essen
tial part of their daily issue, is by some
well known author, the circulation will
run up $4,000 or 100, 900 in a week
and drop again as soon as the special
feature is discontinued. When Lo Jour
began publishing M. Henri Rochefort's
memoirs, its circulation went up five
fold, although the price of the paper
had been doubled i'll order to make hay
while the sun shone.
The French press is much moro con-
centrated i'll the capital than that of
other European countries. In Germany,
for instance, it is not the press of Berlin
that has tho largest circulation or the
greatest influence. In this, as in many
other matters, however, the French
press only bears out the saying that
