One of the highest Jewish authori-
ties in Palestine tells me, says William
e. Curtis in the Chicago Record-Herald,
that at least 35 per cent. of his religion
lists in this country to-day are sub
sisting directly or indirectly on char
ity, and at least 20 per cent. are abso-
lutely dependent upon foreign benevo-
lence. About one-half of them have
sought here an asylum from perseeu-
tion. They have fled from Poland,
Russia and Roumania. The remainder

I grave in the sacred soil. They come
here to die. The Mount of Olives is
covered with cemeteries, and the slopes

built are occupied by neglected graves.
Quite a number of Jewish scholars
come here to study. Others are at
tracted by sentiment and some come
because they know they win be sup

CAME FAST, WENT FASTER.
Fortune Won by New York BoOt-
black at the Races Goes Back
TO the BOOktes.


What is the difference between Ma
poleon of finance and plain gambler?
A New York bootblack painfully real
izes that there is a difference, al
though perhaps he cannot explain il
in logical argument and elegant
phrase, says the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle. Last year, having laid
by a few hundred dollars, he played
the races and won $4,000 This year
he tried the same game and lost all
his winnings, as well as his original
capital. Being not altogether friend
less, he managed to borrow enough
money to buy a new bootblacling out
fit, and is now industriOusly shining
footwear and gathering in nickels
and dimes. If he keeps at it he will
soon be out of debt and again become
modest deposition in some good saw
ings bank. He has had his experience,
and it was rather harsh, but it may
do him good. Let him renounce Ma
poleOnie ambitions, stick to his busi-
ness and save his money. The races
are treaeherous things for those who
play them, and the ocket-and-stiek
performance is less productive of hap
piness than that steady thrift whic.
is sure, even if Slow, as a promoter Of
prosperity and builder of character.

HAND KISSING LEAGUE.
An Extraordinary OrRanization RE-
Gently Formed by Partisan
Exquisites.


Some Partisan exquisites of both
sexes have just formed the hand
kissing league.Y Men belonging to it
VOW never to shake, or even squeeze,
a woman's hand In lieu of that form
of salute they imprint light kiss on
her fingers or her wrist. Women be-
longing to the league bind themselves
to cut any man refusing to discard
what our neighbors call ''le shake
hand" in favor of the dainty and
daintily named "le baise-main."
The new association, reports a Lon
don paper, is framing code of hand
kissing This will define various
forms of "baise- main,' and win
specify under what particular circum-
stances each is to be employed. 1t is
already decided that the slight touch
ing of the tips of two fingers of a
feminine hand by mans lips is the
most frigid form of the greeting,
while the kiss On the wrist is a privi-
lege Of intimacy.
Intern diate usages are the oscula-
tory salute on the knuckles, on the
back. and on the palm of the hand

YLNEGAR

The act of 1897 regulating the sale
of vinegar provided that cider vine
gar shall contain not less than an
acidity of four per centum. Under
this act there We're collected by agents
of the state department of agriculture
So samples. OF this number % were
found to be pure and 10 not pure.
1t was found that the acid requi re-
ment was too great and in 1901 an
amending act was passed which re-
pealed the clause requiring four per
cent. acidity and one and halt per
centum by weight of cider vinegar
solids upon full evaporation, and
simply provided that cider vinegar
shall be the legitimate product of
pure apple juice, or vinegar made ex-
clusively Of apple cider, without the
addition of foreign substances, drugs
or acids. As the law now stands
farmers can safely utilize their sur
plus apples by turning them into
vinegar The acid requirement
having been abolished it is only a
question Of taste with the consumer
as to the acidity the vinegar shall
contain. ofcourse it must be pure,
but that is the only legal require
mont.

Immense sums Expended By Eng-

for That Purpose.

Those who look forward TO the con-
troll of the great rivers Of America and
the use Of funds supplied by the gov

fact that England has spent about
ps0.0O0,O00 on the new Nile dams and
other works for controlling the great
Egyptian river and making certain
the crops of the valley below. and that
she has invested the sum of s3e0.OOO- 0Oe

Baker. in Century. a single canal
from the Ganges cost S15,00000O; it
has total length, including tribu-
tarirs and drainage cuts, of 3.9i0miles,
and irrigates over 1,O0o,ooO acres Of
land. These works in, India, costly
and stupendous as they have been. are
regarded by the English as a profit
able investment. There are 6,000,000
acres OF land under cultivation in the
valley Of the Nile, suporting a popula-
ton Of over 5.OOO,0Oo people. Mr.. Ell

United States government, estimates
that the Missouri river and its tribu-
taries, If properly controlled, win irri-
gate five times as much territory, fur
nishing an opportunity for The eXpan-
sion of surplus population that will
last the American people for a long

not believe in the necessity Of foreign

own expanses Of unclaimed, cheap, rich
land in a climate that is nearly perfect.
