deavor to show you my powers of mes
merism. They are wonderful, gentle-
men, and 1t Is well worth quarter to
see my efforts. Many times have
sat down, gentlemen, and wondered
where got my powers-but, gentle
men, we anticipate"
Then the hat was passed around, and

him down in the chair. He then made

Gentlemen" said the professor. with
wounded pride. II have done my best.
You have seen my efforts, trust you

In Finland, which has autonomous and con-

right Of residence. In 1859, those Jews allow
ed to take up their abode in Finland, who had serv

Finnish garrisOns At the present there live in the
prncpality TAP Jews reservsts and the members Of
their families. In the year 1887 the Diet of Finland
which only assemblies every four years, decided, with
the view to reducing the number of Jews to prohibit
marriages among them. A Jew who had married,
must at once leave Finland There exists, however,
liberal party, which is opposed to this harsh meas

philo-Jewish proposals, which unfortunately were
not accepted. But last year the liberal party Com

the Jews. The following it's principal features:
Marriages of Jews permitted, and the newl y-nar

husband, does not lose the right of residence, and
remain in the principality with her family. In

designated hereafter the Jews authorized to es-
tablish synagogues and to appoint rabbis. The
measure requires the sanction of the Tar and it is
reported that when the bills passed by the Finnish
Diet were submitted to him, the clauses relating to
the Jews were approved by him.
