What have they done in modern literature? The

THE JEWISH SOUTH.

The Jews are the bankers Of the world The banking
business almost over all Europe is managed by the
Hebrews, who could foreclose and ruin many of the
nobles who in society treat them with great con-
tempt. The principal banker of Germany is the He
brew Bleichroder, while the Jewish house of Roths-
child controls the diplomacy of empires.
On this point the distinguished Belgian pubcist,
M de Laveleye wrote "The rapid rise of the Jewish
element is a fact which may be observed over all
Europe. If this upward movement continues, the
Israetes a century hence will be the masters Of
Europe. This fact popularity attributed to usury,
rapacty hard heartedness and what not of the Sort
is complete error and baseless prejudice. When
all transactions free, is forced to submit
to more conditions than those of the general
market. Christians do not neglect to profit like
everyone else, by whatever favorable opportunities
accidentally presented to them. In the great
financial scandals of day, especially in Belgium
only Christians have figured. The Jews have very
keen and very just sense of reality, which they seize
and render with extreme precision, and at the same
time strong ideality, powerful imagination. Solid
good sense enables them to the good and bad
Sides and sprotects them against illusions. Among
us, business men with imagination ruin themselves
through optimism and those without it crawl in
routine"
Where shall we look for greater modern philan-
thropists than Montehore and de Hrsch? Fould,
Cremeux the Rothschilds and the Perieres are also
Jews.
Russian tyranny therefore, colossal thought may
be, is no less colossal than Jewish charity.

HoundinR Celebrities,

DR.. Paul GARNER, a French specialist
in lunacy, has been giving some infor-
nation about the insane men and wom-
en- who follow celebrities about and fall
in love with them. The doctor has ia
send two or three women Of this sort to
asylums every month, and nothing Is
known Of the cases by the public Good
looking priests, the doctor declares, are
notably marks for the attention Of such
females. After the priests, but in lesser
degree, come the members of parlia-
ment whose names are most frequently
in the newspapers or who make good
speeches In the chamber, the authors
and the handsome actors. Tho latter,
like the priests, have often been threat
ened by their jealous admirers. In some
instances women have gone to the the
aters with loaded revolvers ready to fire
at them, but for some reason or other
have failed to carry out their purpose.
AS to actresses, DR.. GARNER states that
their dangerous adorers are terribly nu-
merous Nine. Sarah Bernhardt has
sometimes to be watched over very care
fully. Her worshipers seorete them
selves in all sorts of places In order to
see her enter or leave her theater or her
residence. The special detectives have
had to interfere on two noted occasions
in order to save the famous actress from
the bullets or the daggers of maniacs
who resolved to injure or kill her be-
cause she refused to respond to their fat
teries and passionate declarations Of
love

says the Nashville American, the Louisi-

and It's gallant commander was carried
from the field mortally wounded, as
every one supposed, but good nursing
and skillful surgery saved the life Of
the general. He left leg and an arm
on the battlefield and lost one Of his
eyes. He wears an artificial leg on one
side Of his body and an arm on the op-
posite. The pluck which enabled him
to Withstand these terrible wounds, and
to which he is indebted for his life,
perhaps, more than to any other cause,
sticks to him yet, and he is one Of the
most jovial Of men, enjoying good
joke as much as anybody. He tells this
on himself:
When canvassing for governor, he
was invited by lady who knew Of his
loss Of limbs to make her house his
home, and he accepted. She ordered her
manservant, who knew nothing Of the
general S misfortune, to see that he was
comfortably put to bed The darby felt
proud of the honor of serving distin-
guished general and the next governor,
and the general was inclined to be COM
municative, which delighted the negro
very much and made him feel at home
with his guest When he took the gen.
eral' arm off and laid it on the table,
he commenced to express great SYM
pathy, saying:
''It sho' is bad for a man to lose he
arm dat erwayl An de Yankees done
dis, did dey?''
When the general told him to take
his leg off, the negro thought he was
joking, but went at it in businesslike
way, though he was almost ready to
shed tears Of sympathy this time Plac-
ing the leg ON the table by tho side Of
the arm and looking at the general, he
said:
'UmphI Leg off on one side an arm
off on t'other. Dat is too bad, to cut a
man up in dat sort o. way"
The general saw the opportunity for
a little fun had come, SO, leaning his
body forward, said:
Come, now, take my head off. "

Ian Maclaren on Scott.

"Scott was all gold, and even the
nuggets are not enough; the gravel
ought to be sifted and the gold dust
gathered in, for Scott had such an affiu-
ence of knowledge, legend and poetry
that he did not write by measure, but
put his hand into his pocket and threw
out money that any might pick it up.
What one is afraid of is that Scott is
being raised to the elevation Of classic,
and that is the same thing as taking a
man out Of the house of commons, where
he is an active figure, and placing him
in the stately seclusion Of the house Of
lords do not know single page of
Scott that is not readable, and l do not
know a single page that would shake a
man S faith or bring blush to wom-
an 8 cheek. Why do not people read
Scott as they ought to? Some say that he
is not interesting, and others object to
his style. Why, Carlyle himself brought
the charge against Scott that he was
amusing. Amusing One of the grand
est functions of fiction is to be amusing
in the right sense-that of lifting up
the weight and care of daily life from
mems minds by leading them into re-
gions of sentiment and romance. F"

Interesting Facts About the Genesis OF
Spools and Shoe PeeH.


Spools and Shoe Pegs.
"Oxford county, Me-, turns ont near
ly all the spools on which the sewing
thread Of this country is wound, - said
wholesale dealer in such articles to
the writer. 1.-THE spools are made from
white birch timber, and they are pro-
duced by the million in Oxford county.
There are many other parts of western
Maine also, where the industry is i'm
portant There are numerous sawmills
in that part of the state which are kept
busy all the year round saving white
birch logs into strips 4 feet long and
from l to 2 inches wide and of the same
thickness These strips are sent to the
spool factories, where they are quickly
worked into spools by the most ingen-
ious labor saving machinery.
'The strips Of white birch are fed in
to one machine, and they are not touch
ed, in fact, are hardly seen again, until
the spools, all finished for market ex-
cept polishing, drop out by the bushel
from another machine several rods away
from where the strips started In. The
spools get their gloss by being rapidly
revolved in barrels turned by maohin-
cry, the polish resulting from the con-
tact of the spools in the barrel
In the backwoods villages Of Ok
ford county one sees scarcely any other
industry but spoolmak1ng, and every
person in the neighborhood is in some
way interested in the business. The fac
tories have been eating into the Maine
birch forests for years, but there still
seems to be enough of the timber left to
feed the machinery for many years to
come. Hundreds of thousands of feet Of
logs are cut and sawed into spool tim
Der annually.
''Shoe peg factories are also an i'm
portant branch of business once pecul-
lar to Maine, although 1t has Of late
been followed to some extent in other
eastern states and is spreading to the
hard wood forests of northern Pennsyl-
vania. Maple is used largely In the
manufacture of shoe pegs, although
white birch is used at some factories.

coming of her friend the brides atten-

cooingly to the imprisoned bird and
wished she might take him out Of his
cage and caress him George remarked
that he looked tame enough and sug-

The bird accepted the caresses, and
apparently all was serene, but without
an instant's warning she uttered a
scream of rage and flew at the lady's
