HEBREW MATCHMAKER

The happiness which Is characteristic
OF Jewish married life Is due to tho fact
that the great majority OF the weddings
among our people are brought about by
match making. either conducted by rela-
tives or by the professional schatchen.
says Marcus Heller, in the New York
News.
The love match is the stem which
grows the unhappy marriage The rea-
son for this should be plain to the
thoughtfuI person.
The young man and young woman I'm
love are totally blinded TO each others
defects, and consequently each expects
OF the other perfection In the married life.
Marriage is an eye-opener. and neces-
sarily disappointment to them, since
perfection resides I'm no one. Quarres
and the divorce court follow.
When relatives make the match, as IL
the custom with many OF our people. and
with the peassntry of France and Ire
land. this danger is overcome In great
measure; although the blood relationship
of the matchmaker Is apt to require too
much for the relative even under that
plan. Yet. In comparison with love
matches, these unions are very happy IN
deed, as observation and reading inform
us.
The ideal marriage, the ono most near
ly sure 10 result In full. satisfying and
complete happiness. is the one I'm which
schatchen-the meaning OF the word Is
faithful messenger or someone exer-
cising that function, discovers the exact
suitability OF the man and woman for
each other and brings them together.
The scatchen In the Jewish profess
sional matchmaker. There ought 10 be
such a calling among people of all races
and creeds, for its exercise is conducive
in tho highest degree to the success OF
the marital union and 20 all the comfort
and prosperity that follow from II.
The youth and maid brought together
by the professional matchmaker OF skill
are insured against marital disappoint-
mont The schatchen has studied and
judged fairly their tempers, tempera-
ment. character and habits; and because
the success OF Is calling depends on his
skill as measured by the success OF the
union he Is very careful not 10 make a
mistake. and his experience enables him
20 avoid IL.
OF course, there must be good health
and good morals there must be indus
try and thrift; there must be means OF
livelihood. and there ought TO be a sum
laid by against Illness or misfortune.
Given these conditions. the HUSBAND
and wife are Joined together without any
Illusions as 10 each other. there is no
chance OF disappointment, heart rt-burninp
and mutual hatred In the days 10 come
In fact, there In every reason To be-
lieve from the rcords OF experience that
the longer their association I'm we'd
lock the more will their mutual liking
grow. and that Il wifi eventually bloom
into lasting love. az ardent as that OF
unwedded sweet-hearts which so often
melts away In marriage
Day by day is experience making
palmer 20 those who think seriously and
deeply on the subject that the nrst es-
sential OF a happy marriage In 20 have
the match made by an outsider. n
should be the hope Of every lover OF
mankind TO see the custom grow.

Turning the Tables.

Among the students at Chicago
medical college was one who fire.
quently tried to play to the CALLER
les" by twisting his answers in such
a way as to raise Il laugh. But one
day the laugh went against him,
says the Chicago Record Herald.
One of his hits, although not at all
original, was his description of a re-
markable red bat he had seen. The
class was much interested, but the
professor was skeptical, and intimat-
ed that he should be better satisfied
if he We're to see it.

the student, and taking the paper
off Il package he exhibited brick
bat.
The other day he was asked about
the origin of cholera.
Asia, they say" he answered,
''but from my own experience |
should say it was in the abdominal
region"
II do not mean cholera infantum,'
remarked the professor, blandly, and
the Joker couldn't see for some time
what the others were laughing at.

What John Allen Did.

Ex-Congressman John Allen,
known as "Private Allen,n because
he was the only private in the Con-
federate army, was standing Oh
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington,
last week, watching the Grand Army
of the Republic parade. With him
were two ladies. AS the multitude
of Grand Army men swept by Pri-
vate Allen was visibly impressed.
After several hours had elapsed
