The Transportation of Race.

AhC AIdnSpldutttClON Oh a race.
The negroes who came to North Amer
lea had to undergo as complete transi-
ton as ever fell to the lot of man, with
out the least chance to undergo an accii
matizing process. They were brought
from the hottest part of the earth to the
region where the winters cold is of al
most arctic severity-from an exceeding
ly humid to very dry air. They came
to service under alien taskmasters,
strange to them in speech and purpose.
They had to betake themselves to unac-
they had never worn before Rarely
could one of the creatures find about him
a familiar face or friend, parent, or child,
or an object that recalled his past life to
him. 1t was an appalling change. Only
those who know how the negro cleaves to
all the dear. familiar things of life, how
fond he is OF warmth and friendliness,
shock that this introduction to new con-
ditions meant to them. To people of our
own race it could have meant death, But
these wonderful folk appear to have
withstood the trials of their deportation
in marvellous way. They showed no
peculiar liability to disease. Their longe-
witty or period of usefulness was not d.
unfinished, or their fecundity obviously
impaired. So far as have been able
to learn, nostalgia was not a source of
mortality, as it would have been with
any Aryan population. The price they
brought in the market and the satisfac-
ton Of their purchasers with their quail
ties shows that they were from the first
almost ideal labOrers. II we compare the
Algonkin Indian, in appearance sturdy
fellow, with these negroes, we see OF
what stuff the blacks are made. A touch
Of Homework and of honest toll took the
breath of the aborigines away, but these
tropical exotics fell to their tasks and
trials far better than the men of our
own kind could have done.-From an ar
ticle by Prof. n. S. Shalcr, in Appletons'
Popular Science Monthly.

The Four Big Brooms,


70 mother, why does the big wind blow
And rattle the windOw-pane?
II close my eyes to sleep just so,
IT wakes me up again;
If | hide my head beneath the spread.
You speak so soft and low
That l cannot hear what you have said.
Oh, why does the big wind blowT'
LET us play. my darling, merry play.
The winds are four big brooms
That sweep the world on Il windy day
AS Mary sweeps our rooms.
The south wind Is the parlOr brush
That sweeps III quiet way
But the north wind comes with roar and
rush
On the worldwide sweeping day
Like Mary sweeping the halls and stairs
Is the work of the good west broom,
And the sweetest OdOrs the softest airs,
Float over the worlds wide room,
But tonight the broom from the east is
And with it comes the rain,
Like John when he brushes the porch my
dear,
And hoses the window pane"
The little boy laughed and cuddled close
In his warm and d0wny bed.
II hear the broom and hear the hose,
And like them BOTH" he said,
And the big wind loudly roar,
He remembers the wide worlds sweeping
And thinks of the big brooms four.

Qualities Of the Modern Jew.

He (the jew lives mainly in the pres
ent, and makes no comprehensive or elab
crate schemes for the far future. None of
our greatest Industrial or commercial
schemes are in the hands of Jews. Jesus
spoke as true Jew when he said: 'Wor-
tomorrow will look out for ITSELF
With such disposition the Jew is
usually buoyant and hopeful, even in the
midst Of the severest trials and losses.
He has little sense of, or interest in, the
order of nature, and hence rarely de-
votes himself to science or philosophy.
There are hardly any Jewish scientists
or philosophers of the first rank. The
Jew is extremely devoted to his race, his
kin and his God, so much SO that he finds
it difficult to meet other people on equal
terms. He voluntarily clings to estab-
lished usages, even when they are child
ish or stand in his way. This is strik-
ingly brought out in zangwilrs Children
of the Ghetto.) He is singularly free
from the coarser vices, and his family
life is usually sweet, tender and pure.
He has power of endurance and an i'm
munity from certain diseases such as no
other race possesses. His patience and
persistence, which make him successful
in business, are the cause Of much of
is subjected. He quickly seizes and
takes advantage of a situation; but he
finds it difficult to explain his actions
by logical analysis. Hence, in certain
cases, he is apt to assume the role of a
prophet, or even of Messiah. The
'Dreamers of the Ghetto are not rare,
even. at the present day. He seldom Gull
tivates any art but lyric poetry and mu-
sic, and in these he frequently excels.
Germany has no lyric poet to place by
the side of Heine; but we shall look in
vain for a Jewish architect. sculptor or

pect. We think at once of Davidson,

joy, the awakening of spiritual forces,
the hope Of an everlasting life which
death cannot touch. Easter gifts should
not as rule be costly, but should be
made to reach as many as possible. In
the olden. days men went about the
streets on Easter morning hailing every
body they met with the. glorious words,
"Christ is risen,' to which came the in

A Little Essay on TOYS.

speaking Of toys, although women
know better than men what will please
a child, they rarel y make much money
out Of their inventions in this line. This
is said to be because they haven't the
business head and the foresight. Men
have these gifts, and women haven't.
You must have noticed that OF course,
IL sometimes happens that woman is
left a, widow with four little children,
and they get along much better than
when papa was living, but that is an ex-
ception, and everybody knows that it
simply proves the rule, which is that
women are meant to be bright and beau
tltul creatures to cheer us on our pill

never should have penny of their own
Now, when man invents toy for
child, he gets us something that winds

it when he was looking for a match.
Anyhow, when the baby saw the mechan-
ical mouse running right straight at him
1t scared him so that he set up howl,
and it was half an hour before he Quoted
down again: But, of course, his mother
en- are so afraid Of mice. The baby
would like it all right enough when he
got used to 1t. Women know what the
baby does like is a rag doll with pen-and-
ink eyes and nose and mouth, but man
cannot see that. He has too much bust
ness foresight. This is why he buys the
mechanical scare-me-to-deaths that the
street fakirs have skating about on the
sidewalks: Don't you suppose the manu-
facturers know that every toy they make
will go down the dumb waiter with the
garbage within four days of it's pur-
chase? OF course they do, but they make
| their money out of the foresight of the

toy doesn't count any more than what

factory.

Valeps Manner of Obeyins Orders
Embarrassed the Young Couple.
Some time ago young bridal couple
stopped at the Gilsey house in New
York on their wedding trip, and accom-
panying them was an Irish valet who
had been for years in the employ ,of the
bridegroom.
The latter had instructed his valet not
to tell any of the servants at the hotel
that they We're newly married and on
their honeymoon, as the young bride was
very sensitive and didn't care to en-
counter the notice and stares which
would be sure to be forthcoming.
Notwithstanding these instructions the
young couple found that they seemed
to be the center of attraction, and the
walters, porters and bcllboys ogled the
young woman until she felt positively I'M
| comfortable.
The bridegroom therefore blamed the
valet and supposed he had disobeyed his
Instructions: Calling him before him he
said severely: Tim, l thought 1 told
you not to. tell anybody that we were
