j effersOn's Poor Memory.


Joseph Jefferson's weak point is his
forgetfulness Of names, and that failing
has cost him good many embarrass-
ments. In this relation these stories are
told: He had been introduced to Gen
Grant at a time when that distinguished
soldier was the lion of the social world
and the popular actor was much i'm
pressed with the personality of the hero
A few hours later, as he went up in his
hotel elevator, q rugged-lOOklng man,
with q military bearing, bowed pleas
ly to him and made an observation re-
garding the speed of the elevator, when
Jefferson said:
Il beg pardon. Your face is very ia
miliar, but | cannot recall your name"
Grant" was the laconic but perfectly
courteous reply.
Il got off at the wrong floor" said
Jefferson, for fear [ would ask him next
if he had been in the war;
Mr.. Jefferson has been known to for
get his own name. He tells us how, in
one of the cities where he played a few
years ago, he called at the postoffice and
inquired at the general delivery: ANY
mail for me?"
What name?''
Name! Goodness gracious. I dom
know. Let me think Why, I'm to play
Rip Van Wrinkle in this town tonight
''Jefferson?' suggested the clerk.

Jews IN the UnIted States.

As TO the number of Jews at present
tistics are attainable, as the government
does not classify the population by re-
ligiOnS in the enumeratiOns for the decen-
NAL census. But more or less careful
estimates have been made from time to
time. from which David Sulzberger
of Philadelphia has complied an approx
mate statement of the growth of our
Semitic population. From estimates
made on the authority of the Rev. Ger
shOm Mendes SeiXas, in 1912, it is in
fcrred that there were at least 400 Jews
in New York at that time. The Jewish
population in Pennsylvania included
from eighty to 100 families; in Rich
mond, Va. thirty families, and in
South Carolina, about 1000 souls.
The first systematic attempt to OBJ
tain definite statistical information was
undertaken by the board of delegates of
American Israelites, with the assistance
of the Union of American Hebrew CON
gregatons, whose committee reported III
1877 a total population of 1S9, 1856. and in
1880 a total of 23O,257. In 1888, ac-
cording to Isaac Markers, the population
had risen to 100000, of which $4,000
were credited to New York, and 114,00O
of which landed on these shores between
1881 and 1886. The work of gathering
the statistics for the eleventh census
1890 was committed to Philip Cowen of
the American Hebrew, and he presented
tables showing 533 congregations of Or
thodoX and Reformed Jews, with $780,
1876 communicates. The two branches
together have 3O1 church edifces. with
an approximate seating capacity of 1885,,
S24. Besides these edifices. 231 halls.
etc, are occupied by congregations. and
these halls have a seating capacity of
2S,417. The total value of the syna-
gogue property is S9.754, 275, an increase
in ten years of $3.549,697 while the
number of communicates advanced over
$4,000.
Coming down to the present day. MI
Sulzberger says: THE total ascertained
immigration since 1885 is 411.O73. and.
adding 74,31O given by Joseph ia
cobs in the Jewish Year Book for 1896
the total of Jewish immigration to the
United States since 1881 would be not
over 4S5,3S3. And, finally, he gives, in
conservative estimate, 937 800 as the to-
tai number of Jews now settled in the
United States. According to his compu-
tations. various principal states rank as
follows in the size of their Hebrew poDu-
lation: New York, 100000; Illinois and
Pennsylvania, each $4,000; Ohio, $4,000:
California and Maryland, each $4,000;
Missouri and New Jersey, each So, 1000:
Massachusetts and Louisiana, each 90
900, and Virginia, $4,000. In all the
Southern states it is large and rapidly
growing; while in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and Wyoming it does not
exceed 1OO0.-LeSIie'S Weekly.

Three Misses Mush.

That the name of the rose certainly
would not affect its fragrance in Owens
vile, Id, has been demonstrated by the
experience of the three Misses Mush. who
went there from Centerville, Ia, to teach
school. The first Miss Mush was mar
ried at the end Of her first term, and
her sister. who took her place, married
in the middle of the following term. The
third sister finished out this term, and
then she, too, was joined in the holy
bonds, and the strong past tense Of mash
in Givensville now is mush.

NATURES EPITAPH

Who knows where the graveyard is
Where the fox and the eagle lie?
Who has seen the ObsequieS
OF the red deer when they die?
With Death they steal away
Out of the sight of the sun,
Out of the sight Of the living, they
Pay the debt, and are done.
No marble marks the place:
The common forest brown
Covers them over with Quaker grace
Just where they laid them down.
But few years, if you see
IN Summer deeper green
Here and there. it is like 10 be
The spot where the bones have been.
Thus, nor more, to the poor dead year,
NO grave, nor ghostly stone,
But greener life and a warmer cheer
Be the only sign that he's gone.
