The New York World says it is author
lied to announce that Gov. Roosevelt will
not be candidate for the presidency or
vice presidency in 1890 This authoriza-
ton seems to be evolved from the fact, or
the alleged fact that Senator Plat has

IT always imagined" says a Kansas
boy in Manila, that New Jersey was
the headquarters for mosquitoes, but Ma
Mia has deprived that neck of the woods
of all such honors. And ants-gee whiz!
they are here by the millions-red and
with jaws like crocodiles, black ants with
a singer sharper than any bee that ever
manufactured honey, brown ants, gray
ants, ants with wings and ants with moth
ing but a determination to make life mis-
cradle for a soldier. They build nests in
your hair pull your ears, fill your nose,
crawl over your shirt and under your shirt,
and, in fact, they get in your shoes,
torture you in daytime, sleep with you at
night, and eat with you at dinner time,

The Anglo-Russian of London says:
THE classification of Finland has been
| inaugurated in the orthodox fashion, viz,
| by beginning crusade against the Jews.
| Some communities of the latter wanted Ia
| erect places of worship and appoint rabbis
| and other officials. The Senate has now
| replied that, in accordance with the views
| expressed by the governor general, a law
| is 10 be promulgated according to which
| those Jews possessing an imperial pass
! port will receive permission to remain in
| the duchy, but on no account can they
| be allowed to build their own synagogues
! as they cannot be owners of property, but
| they may take houses and furnish them
| with the paraphernalia necessary to q
synagogue. This is a sufficient example
of what the Russian government intend;
to allow the Firms TO manage for them
selves in matters of their own Internal
affairs
PROF. Paul Haupt of John Hopkins Uni
versity spoke to the students on Monday
evening about THE Medical and HYGIENE
| Features of the Bible" In the course o.
his address he said: Modern sanitary
| legislation is based on the sanitary rule:
| laid down in the Mosaic law. Observance
| of the Mosaic hygienic regulations NIGH
| have prevented great deal of illness dur
ing the late war with Spain. A great dea

the process of preserving it for seventy
two hours. THIS is entirely at varianc,
! with the Mosaic law In order to insure
the best quality of meat every slaughter
of cattle was looked upon as a sacrifice
and any Israe.ite who killed a domesti,
animal without presenting 1t to the priest!
was looked upon as murderer. The med
ical knowledge of the Hebrew priest wa,
not derived from Egypt, but from Babylo
mia, and the sanitary regulations, as W,
find them in the flve books of Moses, wer,
not written in 1900 i. c., but about eigh
