arm and leg than 20 the left Further
evidence of this fact Is supplied by the
makers OF artificial limbs. They dispose
OF many more appendages 10 the right

The Jewish TOrnh.

Of the objects used in the Jewish synagogue one of the most interesting is the Torah scroll. The Delineator de- scribes this as parchment scroll in Hebrew. mounted on wooden rollers, wrapped in a cloth of green velvet. em- broidered in silk. which Is held by a silver worked belt and covered with mantle of black velvet embroidered in gold. The upper handles of the rollers are of carved wood and the lower of ivory, with silver bells on the rollers. The Jewish Torah, or the law, is con- sidered by the people of this race the most important and sacred portion of the Scriptures. In order that 1t may be kept alive in the minds of the peo- pie it is divided into as many peri copes" as tEere are Sabbaths in the year. so that within q twelvemonth the entire hook will have been read through. A manuscript copy is used, having been prepared by professional scribe on parchment made of the skin of clean animal-that is. one the flesh of which may be eaten.

Buying n Razor.

q need new razor," said the man who slaves himself.
 Better let me get 1t for you," sug- gested the reformed barber, who, now that he is a trolley car conductor, regards himself as distinguished member of society. "All cutlery stores are filled with raZors of the class known as dead ones When barber buys razor. he takes it with the un- derstanding that he is to try 1t out and If it doesn't work well he takes it back and gets another one, keeping this up until he gets one that suits him. Buy Ing razor. yor know. is lottery in which the prizes are few and far be- tween. When the ordinary citizen goes to q cutlery store. he picks out what he thinks Is a good razor. pays for 1t and takes his chances. Hc picks one out, foo. from tue bunch of dead ones that barbcrs have tried and found wanting. That's why l advise you to let me get It for you. Then if you don't like it can tecp exchanging 1t until you get a good one. They needn't know I've quit the business. ."-Philpdrlphia Record.

FINICKY TURKISH LADIES.
They Are Very Careful About What
 They Take In Their Hands.

Tney T0ke HI Inelr huhubs
 Our Constantnople correspondent writes: It Is not generally known that there exists among Turkish ladies of high class kind of caste feeling simi- lar to that prevailing among Hindoos. It takes the form of a fear of contami- nation from the outer world and Is only observed, as far as know, by those who cannot afford to keep servants in sufficient numbers. Before meals ladies always wash their hands at tap from which the water runs into marble basin. They will turn on the tap when they are just going to wash, but when they have finished they let the water run till somebody shuts it off, as to do 1t themselves would make them un- clean. They cannot open or shut door, as the handle would be unclean, so a slave Is generally kept handy for the purpose.
 One of these fastidious ladies was talking to a small niece the other day who had just received present of beautiful doll from Paris. The child presently laid the doll on the lady's lap, who was mortified and ordered the child to take 1t away. As the little girl would not move it and no servant was near, and the lady would be defiled by touching doll that was brought from abroad, the only thing she could think of was to jump up and let the doll fall, which broke to pieces. The same lady will not open letter coming by post. but servant opens 1t and holds 1t near her for her to read. If her hand kerchief falls to the ground. it is imme- diately destroyed or given away, so that she should not use 1t again. This curious state of eXclusiveness or fanatl- cism exists. 1 am told. in many of the large harems. Among men it is Lot practiced. Telegraph.
