THE BARON H1RscH MONEY.
New England Jews Are Well Re-
membered in the Philan.
thrOpist's VIII. 80

The papers have of late had much to
say of the will of Baroness de Hirsch
and the sum to help poor Jews. Few
people, however, know that our own
New England has profited by this sum
and it's predecessors more than most Of
Europe. 49,.
In 1890 the baron executed deed of
trust whereby 100000 should 60 every
year to help deserving Jewish immi-
grants to this country.
In Boston Jacob H. Hecht has charge
of the New England branch of the mat
ter.
OF the 5000 male immigrants who
have been beneficiaries of the fund in
that city a large number were heads of
families, SO that in reality the fund has
been employed to aid about 10000 per-
sons, including the wives and children
of needy and friendless immigrants.
The great majority of all the refugees
who have come to Boston are now scat
tered throughout the country, large
number living in New England and only
a small percentage in Boston.
The deserted farms of New England
bid fair to see a new era of prosperity
through the Jews who are being settled
upon them.
The abandonment of these farms off,
en- is due to the death or old age of
their owners, whose children, attracted
to the cities and to professional occu-
pations or to more fruitful regions in
| distant states, are willing to sell their
ancestral homesteads at great sacri-
| flee. .
Jewish immigrants coming from the
villages of the pale of settlement in
Russia are ready buyers of dairy farms,
because they were accustomed to dairy
pursuits in their old homes. 3.
Many of them kept smaller or larger
number of dairy cattle and raised feed
for them on leased land. But on the
other hand, few are skilled gardeners,
and would not be so successful at other
than dairy farming in this country.
| They are advised with the greatest
care in the selection of these, are in
formed quickly and accurately of op-
portunities for profitable investment,
and aided substantially with loans and
instruction.
In New England the Hirsch fund has
enabled more than 600 Jewish farmers
to settle on as many homesteads. More
than $1,1o0,ooo of the money of immi-
grants is invested in these farms. And
there is invested $3.50, 900 of loans on
mortgages other than those held by the
Baron de Hirsch fund.
The investments have been made
safe and productive by the loans and
advances made by the fund.
The fund is aiming all the time to re-
move to the vicinity of these farms the
industries, such as the tailoring trades,
in which many of the immigrants are
employed. Thus is created constant
marketfor Jewish farm products, at the
same time relieving the so-called ghet-
tos from the congestion that obtains in
large cities.-Philadelphia Press.

AN OLD SONG.

There's ballad Of quaint love-loneinr
That often yearn to hear,
For 1t sets the memories thronRinr.
And wakens a bygone year,
The words were simple and pretty.
With tender final fall
Yet l swear that this old-time littv
Still holds my heart ~ thrau,
1t was sung by girl = nose fashion
Can never grow stale nor old:
But she and her young souls passion
Lie quiet in graveyard mold
1t was not the music, 1 fancy,
Nor the story-but just the way
She sang, and the necromancy
Wrought by q dear, dead day.
At times they will play 1t to me
Now-but my heart sinks low:
II isn't the same that drew me
There In the long ago.
1 miss the meaning; it's broken
The spell of singer and song:
I sigh for a vanished token.
For magic Of yore 1 long.
For the place where the voice would wavel
And a sob rise up in the throat.
For the little pathetic quaver
That wasn't on any note!

He Knew Playfair.

The 'manager of the phosphate mine
was Scotchman, tall, big-boned, with
the strongest Glasgow doric in his
tongue. At first he was obdurate,
and desired us to leave the ground
and to drop the specimens which we
had taken before he appeared. At

'Mon," said my Scotch friend, "are

1 assured him I was, but expressed
surprise that he knew the name, to
which he replied, looking from his six

my five feet four inches: "Hoot, mon.

ATTENDING THE WOUNDED.

Never have the arrangements for

Slatin Pasha was among the most
active officers in preparing for the
Anglo-Egyptian expedition against

upon his shoulders that he almost
broke down. AS he was toiling one
roasting afternoon, he said to his So
perior Office in confidential tone:
II wish 1 were back among the

Oddly enough, this chance remark
was overheard, repeated, and ulti
mately printed in an anti-British
newspaper in Cairo. A copy drifted
down into the Soudan and found its
way into the hands of the khalifa, the
successor of the mahdi.

A SchOOlbOy's P0aer

1t has been discovered by a writer
in the Academy that the ordinary
Englishman is averse to the poets
because he was made to learn GRAY s
"Elegy" in his youth. But that all
schoolboys do not know Gray's
"Elegy" is quite certain from an an.
swer given in a recent examination,
"Chaucer," wrote the sapient youth,
sis chiefly famous as the author of
'Gray's Elegy of Ancient Rome.'"

ton of THE choirmaster, or word of
approval to another chorister, or a re-
mark dropped by one of the choir-so
tender are the feelings of a chorister-
anything, or for that matter, nothing,
will hurt. He will sulk, or make un-
pleasant remarks, or resign, or drive
some other persons out, and then on
some great occasion all the members of
the choir will resign and take them
selves so seriously that the event will
be considered equal in interest TO a
war. Upon the whole, the choir rather
enjoys crisis of this kind, for it gives
stimulus to the artistic temperament.
But there are some who do not enter
wholly into the enjoyment.

operation is done at these spots except
in the case of limbs so shattered as to

OUR IMMIGRANTS.
Scientific Classification OF the For
eigners Who Are Coming to
This Country.

The first step in statistical tabula-
ton is classification, and classifica-
ton invariably starts from an assump-
ton of real or supposed resemblance.
Not to dwell on such fundamental dis
tinctions as those of color, race and
nationality, we encounter the more
special resemblances of agreement N
religious belief, agreement in indus
trial preference, agreement in pol;t-
zeal conviction las shown in election
retCrns), similar susceptibility to
emotionalism, similar capacities for
rational comprehension, similar i'm
projections of nature, which result in
lives of crime or pauperism. Remove
from social statistics this postulate
that blood kinship or mental resem-
blance between one social unit and
another'is the basis of social phenom-
ena, and the statistics themselves
would cease to exist.
Statistics reveal also the conscious
ness which men have of their resem-
blances and their differences. 1t is
statistically known that the geo.
graphical distribution of nationalities
is not accidental or capricious. Imm,-
grant Italians, Germans and Scandi-
navians find their way to those parts
of the country where men of their
own blood and speech are already es-
tablished. Intermarriages of men and
women of different nationalities are
statistically known to be frequent
where no differences of religion exist,
and infrequent where different ma
tionalities profess different faiths.
The statistics of political elections are
quite as much statistics of the con-
sciousness of kind as of differences
of mental type itself.
The most significant fact of all,
however, has still to be named. It is
this: From the first known begin
nings Of statistical research to the
present TIME every extension of sta
tistical inquiry has been in a large
measure due to the consciousness of
kind. The first statistical surveys of
communities of which we have any
record we're such tribal 'enumerations
as those recorded in the book of
Numbers, the avowed object of which
was to ascertain the strength and re-
sources of the various tribes by clans,
lesser gentle groups and household,
not more for unitarian reasons than
for the qualification of gentle and
tribal pride.-Appletons' Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
