Some wealthy Jewish Peddlers.

The recent sale OF large number
of east side tenements proved some
thing of an eye-opener to the brokers
who put through the deal, concerning
the financial resources of the inhabit-
ants of that district. 1t is perhaps
not generally known that the owners
of hundreds of these tenements are
east side Jews, who live upon the
first floor, act as janltor as well as
agent, and who carefully put aside the
accumulating rentals as a fund for
the purchase of additional properties.
One Of the brokers interested in the
recent deal was approached the other
day by a poor-looking man, who Of
fered to buy a Rutgers street house
for $4,000. The broker wanted spot
cash. IF you are sure that you can't
carry this" he said to his visitor, ''I'd
advise you not to buy. l want clean
money for it-you know-no mort
cages" His visitor said not a word.
He drew a check book from his pock
ct, wrote check for $4,000, and
asked the broker to send It to the
bank. 1t was at once dispatched ana
in a few minutes came back certified.

"A New York physician raises his

By this he means the excessive

Of lusty nurses who have not been

that massage has become a disslpa-

Housekeepers and pure food com
missioners have a new foe to fight.
1t is viscogen as a milk adulterant.
1t has been found by inspectors of
the Dairy Department in Minnesota,
and, so far as known, its use is yet
confined to that State When its
properties become generally known,
however, 1t may confidently be looked
for elsewhere. 1t is g syrup composed
Of sugar, lime, and water, about the
color Of water, and is used chiefly tc
make the milk appear richer than it
really is. When yiscogen is placed
in milk or cream the Tactic acid turns
the lime in the fluid into a white,
thick substance, which, assimilating
with the milk, gives it an appearance
and taste Of great richness 1t is pos
sible through its use to palm Off upon
customers milk and cream which is
far below standard. Fortunately, the
adulterant according to Minnesota
authorities, is not injurious to health.

Some of our British friends who de-
sire to exclude foreign crews from
Henley frankly admit that they are
averse to long and rigorous prepara-
ton for the contests on the Thames.
They prefer to make rowing a pas
time and a picnic rather than a de-
cisive test of the best work of anna
teur oarsmen who devote months Of
the hardest toll and the severest self
sacrifice in training for honors on
the water. 1t is plain enough now
that there are a few bold Britons who
shrink from struggles which tug at
the heartstrings, reflects the New
York Tribune.

Now I've lunched with you as /

one loot down as If to retreat.
The sole of his boot came hard on
George Stacy's left hand. At this con-
tact with something unexpected Mack
lems strength gave way and he fell
in dead faint.
His face fell forward and his legs
5praWled down in George Stacy's
front; he slipped down over the rungs
until the youth jammed the limp
ngure against the ladder by pushing
bis own body forward.
Old Stacy gave a loud cry, fearing
MS son must so down, too, and he
made movement as If to help him
by getting on the ladder, which might
not have borne the addition of his
leavy frame. But we held the con-
tractor back for an instant, and then
1t was all over. George seized Mack
lem about the waist with his mighty
left arm and easily backed down the
ladder with him.
He laid Macklem on the roof OF the
stair tower and hurried away for some
stimulant.
When he returned with the remedy
the party had all descended from the
chimney toO.
1t was fully fifteen minutes before
the stimulant and the tanning Of his
face and cha1ng of his hands revived
the merchant. Then, like e famous

he spoke were Of the fight:

Then the contractor had the luncheon

Macklem helped to dispose Of it with

Washington. Jan, l2.--Omclal inform
alton has reached the state depart
ment to the effect that the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. as amended by the
United States Senate, Is now under
consideration by the British cabinet
officials. with a view to finally deter
mining whether the instrument In It's
amended form shall be agreed to or
not. Beyond the fact that the docu-
ment itself is now before the officials
for final action, the state department
is not advised, and there is no intima-
ton at hand as 10 the probable result
Of the conferences now going on. That
It is actually taken up gives promise
that an answer one way or the other
will be quickly forthcoming and there
will be no long drawn-out delay over
the negotiations.
The fact that the treaty Is now be-
ing actively considered In London nat
urally has excited much speculation as
10 the final outcome but the state de-
partment is unable 20 confirm any OF
the rumors as 10 probable acceptance.
There Is quite a prevailing feeling,
however, unofcially expressed. by those
who have followed the recent course OF
affairs that the indications are ia
vorable 20 an acceptance II was
pointed out in this connection by an
official that II a rejection was contem-
plated, II probably would be made at
once whereas the delay Of about two
weeks since the amended treaty
reached the London foreign Office, gave
evidence that there was desire on the
part Of the cabinet officials there TO
consider the matter with much delib-
