and of the ministration of angelic

The exultant song ceased, but their
hearts were yet full of thanksgiving,

with Frances and Jane at his side

But, mother, when | look back to

always found that one good hour
brings on another" And Jane took
the counsel into her heart and anon
began to sing, when soon loud, joy
full voice joined her, and its owner
came into the room singing them.

Il had been here an hour ago, but

a coach is at your order, and you are
bid to Whitehall. And you will be
very welcome there"
Then Jane ran to her mother, and
her box of fineries was quickly
packed, and the girl came down for
her visit glowing with hope and hap
piness.
AS they drew near to Whitehall,
James spirits fell a little. She had
not caught glimpse of her lover, and
she felt a sudden anxiety about her
position. Sometimes prosperity is as
fatal to friendship as adversely, and
the girl tried in silence to prepare
herself for any change in affection
that change of fortune might have
caused. But her fears were very
transient; Mary aid Frances Crom-
well, full of the joy and pride of their
great position, soon carried Jane all
through their splendid apartments,
and afterwards sat down together in
Mary's room to talk over old times
and the friends and occupations that
had made them happy and memorable.
Their first inquiry was for Lady Ma

swered, Her father is dead, and

all silent a few minutes. After the

Jane. He brought me your letters

HE said so. He was to make some
copies of the hymn he wrote, for Mr..
Milton has set it to music, and we are
to practice the singing together.

They rose at these words and went
quickly to the dining-room. Mrs.

her daughter, Mrs. Ireton. was just
entering 1t, and Jane wondered silent

gentry had so easily assumed.

PRESIDENT TAKES ACTION.
Decides to Present Petition of Amer
lean Jews Regarding Recent Out
RACES to Russian Government.

Washington, June 26.-The presi-
dent has decided to transmit to the
Russian government the petition pre-
sented to him by the executive coun-
Gil of the B'Nai Birth regarding treat
ment of Jews in Russia.
This action has been taken after ma
ture consideration. At first it was de-
cided that the petition should not be
presented, because it might be resent
ed by tire government of Russia and
lead to response that will cause a
break in the relations of the two
countries. However, the first conclu-
sion has been reconsidered and by di-
rection of the president the petition
will now go forward. What the result
will be is problematic
The petition which viii be trans
mitted to the Russian government is
the one which the executive council
of the B'nai Birth handed to the
president as a tentative document to
be signed by leading citizens of the
United States outside of federal Of
flee holders. 1t is expected that it
will take about two weeks to secure
these signatures, work along that line
already being in progress.

POTATO PRODUCTS.
Percentage of the Tubers Raised In
Various Countries and How
They Are Used.

Somewhat more than a year ago
there was an exhibition in Berlin de-
voted exclusively to the display of
material, process and apparatus con-
nected with the economic uses of
alcohol. This year a similar exhibition,
or one designed for the same purpose,
became really a most astonishing
revelation of the uses of the potato and
the large place which it occupies among
German products, reports Youths
Companion.
awake geography class of to-day know
that potatoes are one of the most valu-
able crops in the world; yet even they
may be astonishd to learn that in Ger
many 16O. acres are planted with pota-
toes for each 10000 Inhabitants, where
as in the United States the area so
planted is but fraction over "a acres,
and in Great Britain and Ireland 81
acres.
Not only are the German working
people large eaters of potatoes, but
they make varied and extensive use of
them for other purposes. Indian corn
is not grown extensively anywhere
save in the United States. In Germany
potatoes take its place MS food for cat
tie. This has led to the invention of
special evaporating machinery, for the
large amount of water in potatoes
makes them decay quickly, and they
lose much of their food value when
they sprout. The evaporation makes
them availa bic for forage the year
round
Starch, dextrin, potato -four and
starch strip are also produced in large
quantities, but alcohol is by far the
largest product. Alcohol in Germany
is made to play an important part in
economic and Industrial life Heating
and cooking stoves, street and house
hold lamps, stationary engines and To-
connective motors, all are fed by it.
Both in the German and in the Russian
navy alcohol engines up to 900 horse
power have been used with great sue
cess.

POISONING BY SHELL-FISH.
Several Forms Resulting from Par-
taking of Oysters, MusseIs and
Other MOIIusks.

Much has been written recently Of
the spread OF typhoid fever by oysters,
and many cases have occurred in both
this country and in England of epidem-
les Of poisoning following public din
ners at which raw oysters formed the
first course.
1t is true that oysters fattened at
the mouths of streams contaminated
by sewage may contain the germs of
typhoid fever, but this danger is really
slight in comparison with that of taxi
ing in other poisons absorbed by she'll
fish Or elaborated within their own
bodies, says the Youths Compaion.
Shell-fsh, especially mussels, are
great purifiers of dirty water and they
might we'll be planted in landlocked
harbors, whers the water is more or
less stagnant, 60 prevent its foul1ng.
But in such case there should be an
absolute prohibition of the use of these
harbor shell-fsh for food, for they eff
feet the publication of the water by
taking the poisons into their own
bodies and rendering them innocuous
by a process of chemical decomposi-
ton.
Apart from the poisons so absorbed,
it is probable that some shell-fsh, mus
sells especially, under certain condi-
tons, elaborate certain ptomains, or
animal alkaloids, which are more or
less poisonous to those who eat the
mussels, whether raw or cooked. Per
sonal idiosyncrasy has much to do with
shell-fsh poisoning, for it often hap
pens that one or two persons only out
of large party who have eaten mus
sells show symptoms of poisoning Some
people have an attack of the hives
whenever they eat oysters or other
mollusks.
There are three sorts Of symptoms
produced by shell-fish poisoning. The
mildes:t form consists in simple red
rash or an eruption of hives, accom-
panied perhaps by little headache.
This soon subsidies spontaneously, or
may be aided by dose of salts.
In the second form there are signs
of acute indigestion, vomiting, purging,
and more or less fever. This, too, passes
away after time, aided by abstention
from food, the drinking of plenty Of
water, and perhaps few doses of
1nagnesia or chalk mixture.
The thirt! form is one to be dreaded.
The poison acts quickly and powerful
ly upon the nervous system; the suf-
ferer falls into state of collapse, with
cold skin, dilated pupils, extreme rest
lessness and rapid weak pulse. This
form calls for stimulants and prompt
medical treatment if fatal issue is to
be averteG.
