In ANOTHER column we publish from an English
paper alleged statistics to Jewish longevity.
The statement that $4,000 out of 100000 Jewish
babies would live to be 85 years of age is too
ridiculous to need refutation. That the figures are
unreliable is shown on their face by the fact that
those in the last item add up 81 instead of 100 per
cent 1t vas such as these that the writer had in

longer lived than any other civilized race
Of 900 Hebrews born the same day there
will be SO, 684 males and 49, 316 females.
At the end OF the first year the 100000 Jewish in

way their superiority in point of vitality, for only
1901 will have died, compared with IA, 90 in the
English experience, and lie, 7O6 Americans
Striking this difference is, it will be found to be
practically maintained throughout the later stages
of life At the end of five years only 844 Jewish
children out of the 100 900 will have died. while
of similar number of English children 24679 will

Few individuals honestly and universally
detested by of letters the fearless critic whose
trenchant pen and caustc wit by the power of rdi-
cule reduce the poor victim to such low depths of
degradation. Yet, more than once has it occurred
to US, that at least in branch of literature an
able critic is needed, who should up and with his
merciless shears curtail of those ulsome effu
sons to be found in the form of tombstone inscrip
tons
No one will deny that beautiful sentiment is
pressed in the saying, "We should speak naught but
good of the Departed" Yet line should be drawn
somewhere! 1t IS truly offensive to a 1st-fninded
person to read such garing falsehoods and insults
to good sense and decency recorded in stone and
marble When entering the peaceful city Of the dead
where all differences of rank and fortune have come
to naught, and rich and poor, noble and owlv alike
slumbering in unconscious oblivion, all fattery
and false praise should be avoided. In golden let
tiers set forth the virtues of rich departed
his pety, culture and kindness of heart extoled to
the skies, who never showed a sign of such traits
while in the flesh There is never a lack of pen to
record gided falsehoods for an adequate rcmunera-

Thus it comes to pass that at the resting place of
the dead many gilded insults to truth reach the
eye, and stand there monuments to human vanity
and weakness. No human being is tterly bad as

ONE BABY TOO MANY.
Here Is Chance For Some One TO
Adopt q Baby.

Some time ago a lady from Will
ton, knowing that Mrs, j, M. Bene-
field Of this city, was interested in
rescue work, applied to her for an
orphan girl out of some rescue
home.
Her application read that she
wanted a female baby, while her
husband wanted the child to be
a male, and Mrs. Benefited fled
their application, and received a
reply that the institution Of this
kind at Fort Worth, had two bright
babies on hand--a boy and a girl
and that they would send both
here and the lady could pick the
one she wished when she saw them,
The babies are to arrive here
today and also the lady, and, as a
matter of course, there will be a
baby left over. If there is any one

WANTS HIS WIFE BACK.
Ben T. Nall, Of This City,
is Trying to Locate
His Wife.
CLAIMS SHE WAS HYPNOTIZED
The Couple Fled from here Some Six
Weeks ago, butit was Kep'
Quiet from Public.

Some six or 5i- weeks ago, the
reporter was ma. e acquainted with
the fact that Dr. T. NJ. Chambers
and Mrs, Ben T. Nall had left their
homes and fre2ides to journey to-
gether to some other cline, and in
doing so, both left families to
mourn their unexpected fight.
We merely made mention Of the
fact at the time, not giving names,
but as we see from the Shreveport
Times, a letter published from Mr..
Nall seeking to find his wife, we
reproduce it with the editorial
comment of the editor, with the
hope that its reproduction will fall
into the hands of some one who
can throw some light on the where
abouts of the pair and lead to the
reconciliation of the two families:
"A letter was received yesterday
at Sheriff Young's Office in which an
inquiry was made as to the where
abouts of the wife of a reputable
citizen, and begging the officers to
take the woman in custody if
found and notify the almost heart
broken husband, who is yearniug for
his wife's return again to the fam
lily freside, Here is the contents
of the letter, which is dated at
Texarkana."
Dear Sir; Enclosed find de-
scriptive letter from the above Nh,
Nall in regard to his wife, who is a
sensitive medium. Such a one can
be hopnotized by powerful person
Of opposite sex, and in this condi-
tion she is as helpless as a child.
These persons have recently been
at the Hoffman house, he is likely
to give seances soon to make money
by her exhibit. Hunt them up, for
Gods sake, and send her to her
husband or telegraph him here and
keep her in safe and honorable Gus
tody until her poor heart-broken
husband can come for her at
once"
Enclosed in the letter was a min
ute description of the hYpnotizer,
which reads as follows
Description of the man-Rather
large, round face, big mustache,
weighs 200 pounds, left with rather
broad brlmmed hat on, wore large
brown over coat. His right name
is DR.. ]. M. Chambers, left his wife
here and stole mine through hyp'
notism, to use her as materializ-
ing medium. He is spiritualist
and a william. Now, if you can find
my wife you will be paid for it,
She left two bright children aud a
good home with plenty to live on.
Another thing'about this mans de.
scription is that one Of his little
fingers has been cropped off. Please
try to catch the woman for the
sake of her children.

To "tip" or not to Zip" that is
the question, and, like @ good many
more of the public, / have been
somewhat startled by the announce
inent that the waiter OF today is
dead against the practice. Itappears
that he is more in favor OF q regular
wage, which would render him free
Of the caprice or meanness OF those
upon whom he has to wait. but, aB
far as can-be gathered. this ia, view
which does not commend itself to the
employer because, in the event OF
his being called upon to pay regular
wages, he will be compelled to de-
mand higher prioss fer his dinners.
I suspect that which everway the
question is eventually settled it will
be the public who will have to pay
the piper. Many years ago "attend-
ance" was NOT charged e the h0ttoii
bills, but travellers objected to being
laid in yait for ON departure by
waiter, .chambermaid, boots, ETC.,
and the system Of making charge
for servants was adopted. with the
result that nowadays one first pays

Boiling Our FOOD.

There is undoubtedly q great deal
TO be said in favor of the opinion
that considerable portion of the
illness in this country is caused by
the unpleasant habit of eating too
rapidly. OF course we all know and
have at times very painful expert
ence of the fact that this is a high
pressure age and all is done at ex-
press speed. but this surely ought
not to be the case with our meals.
1t is interesting, but not pretty, to
watch the business man when he
goes into restaurant for his lunoh-

the light Of a duty and not pleas-

he has only few minutes to devote
to the operation. so that he may be

Don't Talk OF YOUR Ills.

Every one of us has his or her own
ailments" writes Edward w. Box in
the December Ladies' Home Journal,
decrying the unpleasant habit many
people have Of discussing their bodily
Ills. 1T is enough for us all to keep
we'll ourselves: to be compelled to lis
ten to the ailments Of others does not
make that task any easier. Besides
all this, these unnecessary narratives
OF personal ailments are positively in
furious to ourselves. Physicians all
agree that many Of the slight illnesses
OF which some people make so much
could be cured if they would but take
their minds from themselves. Too
many people work themselves into ILL
nesses, or prevent themselves from
getting we'll, by talking about petty
s:!!:=sars, which, If Iorgotten, would
right itself. will rot say that wo-
mon more than mon are prone to this
evil. But as the majority Of women
have more leisure than the majority
Of men, they are more likely to let
their minds dwell upon every little i'll
that assails them, .nd talk abb ut it.
it seems to me that ono of the most
important lessons We ean all learn
with the close Of the year is 70 refrain
from inflioting upon others what is
purely personal to ourselves. Let as
cease this tiresome, this inconsiderate,
this unnecessary talk about our all
ments. Cold and hard as it may seem,
the fact is nevertheless true, and will
ever remain so, that the vast majority
Of people are interested in what is
pleasant in our lives, bnt not ia what
is unpleasant. Pains and sorrovs are
elements in our lives which are sacred
and interesting only to ourselves"
