The Jewish Pale.

The Jewish Pale embraces Poland and several western provinces of Russia. Here are imprisoned all Jews born on Russian soil who cannot afford to pay 1 900 rub1es year for the privilege of doing business in Russia proper. But even those who have all their lives lived outside the Pale may any night awake to fad their homes surrounded by sol diers whose commands are to convert to the orthodox faith, or drive into ex- ile all Jews found within that city. So have the Jews been driven from Moscow and other large cities of Russia within late years, and soon they must leave Kiev, the ancient capital of the Jewish kingdom once established in southern Russia Every year the limits of the Pale are narrowed, and the lot of the Jew within made more unbearable He can no longer own farm lands, nor even live in villages. Many trades are eforbidden him. and only five per cent. of the Jew ish children within the Pale may learn to read and write. Yet, even so, the Rus sian peasant looks with longing toward the one prosperous portion of Russia. the Pale. Here the Jew has built fac tories in the cities; while in the agricul- tural districts he drives from farm to farm, buying wheat from the peasants in open competition with his rivals PearsOn's.

Automobile Freight Trains,

The first road in the world cono structed especially for automobile freight traffic is nearing completion in the heart of Africa. It will run over mountain and plain for BIO miles, from Longolodo, on the Congo railroad, to Popokabada, on the Kuango. The Brit ish government is building the road, and the work is being done by hundreds of natives, under the direction of seven army officers. The road is intended as feeder to the railroad. Automobiles are to do the hauling, and special lot of these have been ordered by the gov ernment. Each autocar is expected to carry load of two tons, and to make about the same rate that wagon trains would make Where the road runs over plains it is being constructed 27 feet wide, but in the mountains it will be but 15 feet wide, or only just enough for two vehicles to pass.--N. r.

AS TO BREAKFAST FOODS.

The part of eating a cereal much as 3 part of the breakfast has become al most universal with the American peo- ole. It is undoubtedly a good habit, for concentrated food, such as is to be found in meat and eggs, is not all that the stomach craves; it is well that there should be bulk in meal as we'll as plenty of nutritious material. Then, too, the cereals are highly nutritious and they are for the most part mild ''peristaltic pSrsuaders," though one of them, oatmeal, has been held to have bad effect on the skin of some persons who are subject to @czemat- orls affections.
 Useful and wholesome as the cereals are, no attention whatever should be paid to the contention that they are III any special "brain foods" Good d. gestion, such digestion as the ordinary man possesses is quite equal to the task of providing the system with all the nutritive elements that any DOT ton of it may require from the miscel- laneous diet that most of us subsist on The idea that perfectly healthy per son may be made healthier by par ticular diet seems to have taken a strong hold upon many members of the community. but medical men re- cognize the absurdity and omit no oc- casion to combat it. though it must be admitted that it is hardly likely tc do harm.
 On the other hand, there seems tC be at least reasonable ground for the sJrppoSition that some of the highly landed and widely advertised prepara tions are actually harmful in their ac ton, and it is we'll within the province of the physician to inquire into the habits of his patients. regarding the morning cereal with a view to pre- venting a possibility of resort to some preparation positively harmful awher taken regularly by patients suffering from impaired digestion.

HERMIT IN CROWDED CITY.
Resident of Syracuse, N. Y., Has Not Been Downtown in Thirty
 Years,

A veritable Rip Van Wrinkle has been
 discovered in Syracuse, N Y., who, al though living but short walk from the
 business center, has not been downtown
 in 30 years, and has seen none of the
 new sky scrapers and business blocks which adorn Syracuse. His name is Paul Hesley. He is we'll man, and has
 not taken any VOW to thus seclude him self. Moreover, he has possession of all his faculties, is well read and intelligent A few days ago he was "dug up'' by an automobilist and taken for a spin
 through the city. He has lived here 55 years, and was in lower South Salina street but a very few times during all
 this time.
 The reason MT. Hesley gives for this strange, secluded life is this: When I was young had to work so steadily that
 I didn't have time to go around and see l things, and now that am old, don't
 care much about it. After his trip he
 said:
 Syracuse is certainly growing town.
 This seems like going thousands of miles away from home"
 The old man spends all his time clock making and hoeing in the garden. He is perfectly contented to stay at home. Living almost around the corner from ' the magnificent new high school which
 the city has just erected, he never saw
 the building, either completed or in
 process-of erection, until he took his au- tomobile trip. Another strange feature of the case is that he keeps in touch with
 the progress of the city by means of the
 newspapers, but he never has any curi-
 osity to see things for himself.

Utilizing spoi1s of the woods.

For those who have little skill iii basket weaving, the sweet grasses which grow so profusely in many parts of the country offer one of the most desirable materials for their work. These can be woven into the daintiest of little work baskets or jewelry baskets, and will re- tain their delivate fragrance and dainty coloring almost indefinitely. Ones stock of soft pillows can also be added to at this time. Fragrant pine needles make delightful odorous pillow. They are very easily gathered and are thought to have decided medicinal virtue, espe- cially in case of respiratory troubles. The soft down from fully ripened cat tails also makes nice filling for pillows. The materials for these various articles should be gathered during the long sum- mer days one spends out of doors, pre- pared carefully and put away. Later, the long evenings will afford ample time to make them up, and many dainty and serviceable little gifts can be prepared in this way.-Pearson's Magazine.

MARY sHAW's VERSATILITY.

The character of Mrs Alving in Ib- sens Ghosts affords Mary Shaw an excellent opportunity for the display of her versatility. Mrs Alving is the central figure in the domestic tragedy. The display of emotion she is called upon to exhibit increases in intensity until the tremendous climax of the last act, when Mrs Alving's only son, Os- wald, who is tottering on the verge of of insanity urges her to give him poi son with which to end his unfortunate life. Tn this trying scene Miss Shaw works so effectively that it is an invari- able custom for the spectators to re- main in their seats after the final fall of the curtain and call the- actress to the footlights again ard again. Local theater goers have desired to see Ghosts" again on account of the sen sation the play caused in New York city anw Chicago. They will have an opportunity of witnessing it when it is presented here at Poli's theater on Monday evening September 21, by Mary Shaw and her competent suY- porting company.

Antiquity of America.

America is older than the old world, and it's aborigines are remnants of races of men that Inhabited the earth before the present old world races rose to prominence. Theland distribution was different in those days. Therew com munication between what are now the north of America and the north of Asia. and tha~ climate was much warmer in these regions Evidences of these facts are being found every day in both con- tinents The latest evidence is that collected by the Jessup expedition into the unexplored heart of Siberia, which recently returned to New York after a two years exploration.-Boston Bud- get --.

Radium and Science.

Sir Oliver Lodge protests against the current idea that the discovery of radi- um in any way shakes the long accepted laws of science. On the contrary, it con- firms them, as the instability of matter which radium proves was theoretically acquired if the electric theory of it's con- stitution were true, and radium com- pletes this theory instead of destroying it. Radium gives us, in embryo, a trans mutation of the elements.

This merriest of all merry comedy extravaganzas will play it's second en- gagement at Polls this evening, and with the production almost entirely renewed it should attract a large audi ence. As the costumes and scenery are new, so are also the specialties, music, dances and ensembles. The entire production has been made by the mana cement a glittering and gor- geous spectacle, and no expense has been spared to have everything of the very highest class. There is cheer fulness and gaiety about MT Oppers s genial hobo which, when put into dra- matic form, makes his influence well nigh irresistible. When the curtain goes up the most chronic case of de- lection gives way to good feeling and the misanthrope becomes at once a creature who views life with rays of the sun shining in his mind. There are no dumps, blue devils, vapours, megrims or hypochondriasis in Hap py Hooligan'' Instead there is life, alacrity of spirit and true hilarity, which never fails to smooth the ruf1ed brow of care and palliate melancholy. Prices are 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.
