whether any Of the sisters will be present

AN ODD COLLECTION.
Why Book Lover Buys Old Bibles
and Hymn Books.
I'M the Detroit Free press

From the Detroit Free Press.
"All book collectors have their weak
nesses," remarked a man who Is often seen
poring over the sidewalk counters of Sec
ond-hand book shops, "and mine, confess,
runs in the line of old Bibles and hymn
books. Not particularly because they are
Bibles and hymn books, but because SIM
ply can't stand 1t to see such books tossed
about as dusty, almost worthless second

books cost but trifie; religious books, as
rule, are almost unstable in second-hand
shops, and buy great many. Only, how
ever, such as contain family names and in
scriptiOnS of pathetic character.
MY first purchase of the kind was an
Episcopal prayer book, battered and torn
with the name Of old friend of mine in
gilt on the cover. 1t gave me shock to
find 1t on a second hand counter, so l paid
the required dime and carried it home. The
man Is dead and his children are living in
other cities, well to do. l have no idea how
his prayer book became public property.
People are queer. l offered it to a remote

devoted mother or Elizabeth, from a low

gift to Uncle William.
when these books come into my hands
l erase or tear out the inscriptions, and if
my shelf of old Bibles and hymn books ever
gets started out again as religious junk it
will all be anonymous and wanting in that
distressing quality which has made me,
perhaps absurdly sentimental over it,

Deer Down East.

From the Worcester Gazette
Within the past week over a dozen peo-
pie have seen deer along the line of the
Boston and Albany railroad between Roch-
dale and South Spencer. In fact, the crews,
especially the engine men, say that they
hardly ever come from Springfield to Wor-
cester and through to Boston with
out catching sight of either a doe or a
buck, and sometimes both. This morning
a young doe got on the track in front Of an
early train from Springfield, and when the
engine approached she ran directly down
the track. The animal was apparently too
frightened to turn away. from the track
and make her escape The engineer, who

HEBREW AND JEW.
An Authority Raises a New Question
and Then Explains.
From the Jewish Spectator.

FROM the Jewish Spectator.
The question What is Judaism? has been
asked and answered a number of times.
We raise a new question. We ask: Who is
a Jew? A person is not born a Jew. He is
a Jew by education. one may be born a
Hebrew, just the same as one may be born
a Hindoo But by education a Hindoo
could be a Jew, and a Hindoo could be a
Mohammedan. or a Mormon, or anything
else. People often say, l can tell a Jew as
quick as / see him. Nothing is more false.
They can tell the Hebrew, but they can
never tell the Jew. One is not a Jew be-
cause born of Jewish parents.
One may be a Hebrew by birth, and the
parents may be good Jews; yet the child
may preach atheism, and of course is no
Jew. It's the same with Christians. Good
Christian parents might bring up a child
who would turn atheist, and as a matter
per sc an atheist is no Christian. The be-
lief in God as the Supreme Being and the
Creator of all, and the reverence of that
God, and a broad charity toward all His
creatures makes a man a Jew. good
Christian or a good Mohammedan. This
much each faith has in common with the
others. In their peculiarities, which is sig
niffed by their several names, they are SOW
eregn and independent. He is a Jew who
holds Gods word in hand and in heart.

THE INCANDEScENT LIGHT
1t Generates Heat and is Dangerous
When Carelessly Placed.
From the London Lancet.

Hroh the London Lancet.
The incandescent electric lamp is essen
TALLY device which transforms electricity
partly into light, but mostly into heat. As
Is well konwn, the carbon filament OF the
lamp is a substance Offering great resist
ance TO the passage Of the current and the
product Of this resistance is light and heat.
1t is an instance of the translation of one
form of energy into another. 1t may not,
however, generally be known that the light
produced is, after all. but a small percent
age OF the energy thus manifested-some
or o per cent only at the most.
1hls TACT Is very important, bearing in
mind a very common notion that the cleo
tric incandescent lamp is free from the
neat rays. 1t is true that the lamp when
working is not comparable with flame or
naked light, but at the same time the heat
evolved is such as may lead TO ignition
we are disposed to emphasize this point
because the lnCandeSCtnI electric lamp Is
used for the purposes of illumination and
decoration in shops without any regard 10

GOLD BENEATH HELENA.
Redlscovery of Last Chance Gulch
Placer Diggings.

From the st. Paul Dispatch
+. X Martin is believed to have discov-
ered the lost channel of Last Chance creek
Whlie sinking well at his residence on
HolIlns avenue, in Helena, Mon. Last
Chance creek or gulch was noted early
day placer diggings and produced upward
OF $lo,Oo,ooo in gold. 1t derived its name
IN peculiar manner. Two prospectors hav-
ing Deen unsuccessful at the scene of the
hrst discovery of gold in Montana at AL
der creek, and hearing of the reported rich
discoveries on Fraser river, started over
land for British Columbia, there beng no
railroads in the northwest at that time.
The journey was most difficult one-the
trails We're indistinct, there was danger of
Indian raids. and many lives had been sac
rlhced to the treacherous currents of
clark fork of the Columbia by those who
sought to avoid the land route.
consequently. when they reached n point
near where the present city of Missoula
STANDS, they decided to return to their east
ern homes and abandon the race for gold.
Whlle thus en- route to st. Paul they would
test the various streams, not exactly i'm
bued with hope, but Just taking chance
on getting colors," one of them eX-
pressed 1t.
Considerable time was consumed in this
manner without tangible results. At last
one of them declared their progress was be-
ing lmpeded in this manner In an unWar-
ranted degree and he made a motion that
they throw away their gold pans and make
tracks This was virtually agreed to by
his partner.
They had then reached a point a few
miles below the present site of Helena. One
or the men suggested and finally Insist ed
that they make one more effort. After much
persuasion the other consented with the
remark that it was the last chance. 1rudg-
ing up the valley to a point whera the
stream emerged from the mountains they
dipped their pans into the sands. 1t was
wa i carefully over and, to their great
delight, "colors' or grains of gold were
seen.
Then and there the district was named
The Last Chance" Today that gulch is the
main street of Montana's capital city. The
two prospectors went to Virginia City for
supplies and while they endeavored to keep
their discovery a secret. it leaked out, and
when they started on the return trip they
were followed by other eager gold seekers
A settlement rapidly sprang up, as the
news Of the phenomenally rich strike spread
like wildfire, despite the crude methods of
communication in existence.
The town grew apace until on either side
or the little stream was a row of frame
houses. These were later DESTROYED by a
fire, and were replaced with more substan-
tial structures, and the town was built

A Discarded Rose.

Written for The Evening Star by Chas. T. Miller
In a lonely retreat a rose found.
In Its s, ul a sigh, in its heart wound,
In its look a Language old
In Its silent song heard, in effect,
The story that tells Of a sad neglect,
OF q love once warm, now cold.
NY heart was touched with sympathy true,
For well know what this young rose knew.
That a cherished hope had fed.
'sweet flower" said, "as you near the end.
You have found at last in me friend;
Come! make my heart your bed.
The flush on the cheek Of the rose grew pale,
1t trembed as, stem so frail,
In perfumed breath it sad
''She wooed and warmed me on her breast,
Grew cold, forgot-ah, let me rest
And the rose. like its hope, dead.

Quaint Dispensation of Hospitality.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Frank Dent, an Arch street resident,

He described one of them yesterday. Back
of Twyford, which is near Southampton
he said, there is an old. old monastery,
with an old and thick stone wall around IT.
In this wall there is a wicket gate. and
by the gate a monk is always stationed.
The monk is there to halt every traveller
that goes by, and. having halted him, he
gives him cup Of ale, crust Of bread ard
a penny. Years ago, il seems. some one
died, and in his will left to the monastery
an endowment that was to ease the way OF
weary travellers by giving them this re-
freshment and small coin. AS long, there
fore as the monastery stands a monk will
stand by its wicket gate, and every traveller
who passes will be cheered with a drink, .
