JEWS WHO WEAR PlGTAlLs.

Hebraic Colony in China Who Hav,
Forgotten Even Their Ritual.
1t is not generally known that there
is q colony of Jews in China-Jews
who wear pigtalls. bear Chinese names
and speak the Chinese language ex-
clusively and who have forgotten tba
God Of their fathers and neglected
their ancient ritual of worship until
1t has been entirely lost to them. But
there is such a colony, and it's people
have puzzled oriental scholars for
many years.
Recently it has been established that
they entered China-or, rather, thek
progenitors did-about the year 319 A.
D.. in the reign of the Emperor Mingte
H., and formed a colony about 700
miles from Shanghai, on the Hoangho,
or Yellow river.
At one time these Jews were power
in the land. Their city grew in pop
ulation until it's inhabitants numbered
about 5000 Jews alone, and they be-
came SO wealthy that they were able
to loan money to the Emperor, who SO
esteemed them that he built for them
synagogue. Two of them, whose
names have been lost in the passing
years, were especially honored by the
emperor. One he made the treasurer
of a great province and the other waa
general in the imperial army.
In the golden days Of Judaism IN
China they prospered, and when their
magnificent temple was destroyed by
fire they rebuilt it in greater magnif.
cence. In land where there are many
fine temples theirs was one of the most
splendid. 1t was $50 feet long and $50
feet wide.
To-day their temple is mass of
ruins. Stone by stone, almost, it has
been torn down by those whose care II
should have been to preserve it. The
story, even among the heather, is that
they forgot the worship of their God
and He forgot them. They grew poor
err and poorer with the advancing years
during which they failed to keep the
Sabbath of their religion and were fin
ally forced to sell all they had for food
and clothing. Stone by stone, almost,
their temple was demolished, to be
sold to builders or other temples and
houses; their sacred books were dis
posed of for what money they would
bring; they had no place for worship.
and gradually their religious rites were
forgotten and even their language SO
neglected that it has now become a
mere memory and they themselves
people lost among the hea hen of the
Orient.
They are only handful now, China
men in all that outwardly marks one of
that nation, says the New York Trib.
une, except that every one bears the
facial characteristics of the Jews
There is a trace of their old religion
left, but so very little and so garbled
and mixed with the religion of the
land that only experts can detect it.

the course Of an afternoon on the river
they get fairly good idea of the re-

American at Oxford" is likely to be
brusque, If not violent. He says:

barge, in charge Of the sophomore cox
swain. On the first day | was told to
mind the angle on my oar.
The third day the coxswain wrought
himself into fury, and swore at me
for not keeping the proper angle. When
glanced out at my blade he yelled
Keep your eyes in the boat" again
with an oath.
This upset me so that ! forgot there
after to keep fat back at the finish
of the stroke. When we touched the

my feet against the foot-board, and
tried these injunctions until my back
seemed torn into fillets; but it would
not come fat. l never went down to
the river again, and it was two years
before l summoned courage to try an

Toms brother Ned owned magnifi-
cent maltese, which answered to the
musical name of Muziah. If Tip pos
sessed a pet aversion, it certainly was
this same MuZiah. When the table
scraps were scraped out into an old
pan, he stood afar off until the mighty
Muziah ate all the choice bits and all
the palmer fare that he coulI hold.
Then-if there were any left-he
would be permitted to stink up and car
ry the remaining bits behind the wood
pile.
When Tom went home from the
show he called Tip, and the two repair
ed to the hayloft, where the dog was
duly informed Of what was in store for
him. A rusty red tail wagged acqui-
escence and the training Of Tip was
begun.
Tom made secret bargain with his
mother, consequently the price of a
new pair of pants was in his pocket
next morning. AS Tom ami Ned start
ed for school, Ned was not long in dis
covering a good-szed patch on the seat
up? How came you with those old
breeches on? Didn't father get you
any new ones"
Tom shook his head, ran his hand
back over the patched part of his APP
parel, and said "Oh, that's all right
l can't see it, you know" When Tom
reached the playground, he was made
the butt of much good-naturel fun
However, the thought of what his
purse contained and its purpose COM
| forted him.
Thereafter, for weeks, Tip was fed
on fresh meat in the hayloft. while,
outside Muziah whlncd pltifully. No
one knew excepting Tom and Tip what
went on in that hay.oft, 'Tbe mother
had a pretty good idea; butt you know,
mothers never give you away.
Tom wore patched clothes to school
all winter, and was always on the look
out for small jobs, whereby he might
earn a nickel, or. Eerchance, a dime.
The butcher down on the corner got all
of Toms earnings, and Tip waXeI fat
on the best the butcher had.
At last spring came, and with it the
dog and pony show. With beating
heart Tom took Tip around to the tent
specified for candidates How relieved
he was when he found that the trial
was to be made before no one but the
kind faced professor himself! Tip went
through the ordeal right bravery, and
was lOckel up with a porterhouse
steak, while Tom went in to witness
the afternoon performance.

town dog from Master Thomas Bowen.
who would come forward and show
what the dog could do and then receive
his fifty dollars.
What an excitement there was
among the boys, as Tom took seat
on the platform and began playing n
lively tune on French harp. The red
curtains parted and In rushed Tip. At
Ter gesture from Tom, he raise him
self on his hind legs and began to
dance. That was all: but he did 1t well.
How the CROWD cheered as Tom peck
cted the fifty dollars. Then he went
behind the curtains with Tip to bid
aim long farewell.

Enthusiasm of Dying Scientist.


The first penguin we met, says Prof.
G. Il. Borchgrevink, the Antarctic ex-
plorer. in Leslie's Monthly, arrived on
the 18th of October, 1899, at Cape
Adair, in South Victoria Land, thus
long before the Ice had broken up.
killed him at the request of my zoolo-
gist, who was dying at the time. The
man knew that his death was only a
question of hours, but he had looked
forward to the arrival of the birds, and
the news of this first arrival excited
him. He begged us to kill and dlssect
the bird before him, although he him
self was to follow the bird into the
mystery of death half an hour after
wards, and he knew it, He showed the
utmost interest in the operation, and
dictated scientific notes as he watched
it till within fifteen minutes of his dis
solution.
