Joseph Weber, and believed himself

of a narrow, tumble down house, and
Mrs. Weber always spoke of herself
as a "widder." Her first husband had
died "in ole Hengland," the second
here.
Mrs. Weber got her living by char
ing, and as long as she was sober al
ways managed to secure enough work,
but she was an improvident, thriftless
woman, and any extra money she
might secure either went for drink or
was spent on indigestible food, such

The Medicinal
Value of Water.

The human body is constantly I'M
dergoing tissue change. Worn out
particles are cast aside and eliminated
from the system, while the new are
ever being formed from the inception
of life to its close.
Water has the power of increasing
these tissue changes, which multiplies
the waste products, but at the same
time they are renewed by it's agency,
giving rise to increased appetite, which
in turn provides fresh nutriment Per-
sons but little accustomed to drinking
water are liable to have wasted prod
ucts formed faster than they are re-
moved. Any obstruction to the free
working of natural laws at once pro-
duces disease, which, If once firmly
seated, requires both time and money
to cure.
People accustomed to rise in the
morning weak and languid will find
the cause in imperfect secretion of
wastes, which many times may be
remedied by drinking a tumbler of wa
ter before retiring. This very material
ly assists in the process during the
night. and leaves the tissue fresh and
strong ready for the active work of
the day.
Hot water is one of our best rene.
dial agents.
A hot bath on going to bed even in
the hot nights of summer, is better
reliever of insomnia than many drugs

BLUE LIGHT AIDS SURGEONS.
CO1Ored Rays OF Electric Globes
Found Of Great Value in Their
Operations.

A ST. Petersburg physician has ex-
perimented with blue electric light,
which showed noticeable results in
many phases Of diseases and surpassed
the efficacy of the white electric light
usually employed heretofore.
The journal, Prof. Mendelsohn's
Care of Patients, of Berlin, states that
it is possible through the use of blue
electric light to make operations pain
less without resorting to other anaes-
thetics. Burns, of the skin, and espe-
cially of the mucous membrane, are
said to have not only been rendered
painless but healed also more rapidly.
The value of this treatment becomes
important from the fact that it can
easily be employed where it is difficult
to use other therapeutic remedies on
account Of location, as in the throat
or deeper down in the alimentary ca
nal
It is also to be noted that the use of
the blue electric light contributes
much in lessening the pains caused by
cancerous growth in unmarked degree,
and is said rapidly to effect complete
cure of lupus, this very severe disease
of the skin which frequently resists
every other method of treatment.

leave without any key money what
ever. mo Jews need apply" means
only, in many cases, that the land
lord will not countenance key money
because he hopes to put the equivalent
of it in his own pocket at one transac-
waits for Jewish purchaser.
On the other hand, says the London
Mail, few good-natured landlords
will neither let nor sell over the heads
of old tenants. In one row of Stepney
houses, where the occupiers are all
English, two widows have Lived % and
"a years, respectively. The landlord
says they shall die there. He has not
raised his rents a penny.
House agents are strangely sympa-
thetic to this attitude. One reason
may be that the Jewish landlord is his
own rent collector.
It may seem curious that feeling
should be stronger on this question of
key money than on that of industrial
competition. But the Jew is not SO
much an industrial competitor as
merchant. He lands at Blackwell
without word of English, and next
morning you see him in some market
street with bundle of handkerchiefs
and the word penny" He gets rich
without anyone knowing how his COM
petition pinches.
The East ender does not take him
light-heartedly as a neighbor. He is
undesirable in that capacity till Angli-
cized.
What makes this now burning
question is that the skirts of the Jew
ish area are being spread more rapidly
than ever.

WATCH OF GOLD NUGGETS.
The Crude Metal Fashioned Into
Cases, Dial and Hands by q
klOnIike Miner.

A. L. Delkins, a Nome jeweler and
miner, who recently arrived in Seattle
on the Oregon, brought with him
what are undoubtedly the finest
curios ever produced in Alaska. AS
miner MIR. Dellins dug out great
quantity of gold from his claims on
Willow creek in the Council district,
and as a jeweler he worked a part of
that gold into chatelaine bag for
his wife, and into the most hand
some gold watch and chain imagln-
able for himself
The bag, which is work of art and
beauty, is composed, counting the
chain and all, of no less than 5000
colors. The bag proper is composed
OF little solid gold squares, linked to-
gether with solid gold rings at each
corner and covered with countless
little gold nuggets. The chain is
very long and the effect altogether is
dainty and beautiful.
But the watch carries Off the plum
when it comes to workmanship and
beauty, says the Seattle Times. 1t is
1s-size, and, with the chain, weighs
no less than IL ounces. The chain,
a fob, hangs in the form of triangle
and is made of big, solid, fat mug
gets. The watch case is all of solid
gold. The metal was melted by MIR.
Delkins and then hammered out into
the required thickness and shape. He
did all the work by hand, and then
covered the case with hundreds OF
nuggets, which give the watch fin
ish that is not only startling, but alb
solutely beautiful.
The dial is also of solid gold, with
carved raised letters, while across the
top are found the words: made by
A. L. Delkins, Nome, Alaska" The
miner eweler also made the hands,

only a few miles distant, says Cham

only few miles distant, says Cham
bers' Journal.
A case is quoted in one of Prof. Tyn-
dalls lectures, where the rainfall of
one Irish town amounts to SO inches,
and of another to only 81 inches, the
difference being due to the action of
the Kerry mountains in forcing The
moist winds up suddenly to a higher
level, where they meet with the culd
necessary to precipitate their moisture
as rain.
Rollo Russell has suggested that we
might control the rainfall artifcial.y
by the erection of immense walls, ex-
tending for some six or seven miles in
length, and from 800 to 400 feet high.
Such walls would act as natural hills
in diverting the path of the moisture
laden air, and the clouds would be
forced to yield their treasures.
