Evolution of the Hebrew.

The Hebrew is talked and written
about great deal in pulpit and press,
and, strange to say, with all the dis
cussion carried on, strangely misun-
derstood says Rabbi William Rosen-
eau of Baltimore. Scattered as we
are, we are declared by some to be dis
tinct as a race. by others to be peculiar
as nation. and by still others, simp-
ly a denomination. Are we race!
The term implies a division Of man
kind having in common physical
peculiarities derived from distinct pre-
historic source. Our blood since the
days of Egyptian servitude has become
adulterated, so to speak, and Israel
scattered has become nodded by vari-
Gus climatic conditions so that we find
its champions the representatives Of
all the races constituting the human
family.

TRUCK DRIVER AND HORSE.
How u Friendly Understanding De-
velOped Between Them.

How Il Friendly Understanding De-
veIoped Between Them
The friendly relations which often
exist between truck drivers and their
horses is shown in the story Of Chief
tain, one Of the tales in Horses Nine"
by Sewell Ford. Tim Doyle, the driv-
er. having been left alone in the world,
takes up lodgings in the stable. The
story runs thus: So for three years or
more Chieftain had always had good
night pat on the flank from Tim, and
in the morning, after the currying and
rubbing, they had a little friendly ban
ter in the way Of love slaps from Tim
and good natured nosings from Chief
tain. Perhaps many of Tins conf
dences were given half in jest, and per-
haps Chieftain sometimes thought that
Tim was bit slow in perception; but,
all in all, each understood the other
even better than either realized.
OF course Chieftain could not tell
Tim of all those vague longings which
had to do with new grass and springy
turf, nor could he know that Tim had
similar longings. These thoughts each
kept to himself But if Chieftain was
Of Norman blood, horse whose noble
sires had ranged pasture and paddock
free from rein or trace, Tim was
Doyle whose father and grandfather
had lived close to the good green sod
and had done their toll in the open,
with the cool and calm of the country
to soothe and revive them.
Of such delights as these both Chief
tain and Tim had tasted scantily, hur-
riedly, in youth, and for them in the
lapses of the daily grind both yearned
each after his own fashion.
And, each in his way, Tim and Chief
tain were philosophers. AS the years
had come and gone, toll filled and
uneventful, the character of the man
had ripened and mellowed, the DISPOSE
ton Of the horse had settled and sweet
ened.
In his earlier days Tim had been
ready to smash wheel or lose one, to
demand right of way with profane
JUNCTION and to back his word with
whip, fist or bale hook. But he had
learned to yield an inch on occasion
and to use the soft word.
Chieftain, too, in his first years be-
tween the poles had sometimes been
impatient with the unframed mates
who from time to time joined the team.
He had taken part in name biting and
trace kicking, especially on days when
the loads were heavy and the flies
thick, conditions which try the best of
horse tempers. But he had steadied
down into a pole horse who could set
an example that was worth more than
all the six foot lashes ever tied to a
Whipstock.

sticky Onion Juice.

A very convenient mucilage can be
made out of onion juice by any one
who wishes to use it. A good sized
Spanish onion, after being boiled a
short time, will yield on being pressed
quite large quantity of very adhesive
fluid. This is used quite extensively in
various trades for pasting paper on to
tin or zinc or even glass, and the te-
nacity with which it holds would sur
prise any one on making the first at
tempt 1t is the cheapest and best
mucilage for such purposes and an
swers just as well as many of the more
costly and patent cements. Some of
the cements sold by street fakirs at 10
cents a bottle consist of nothing but
onion juice and water, and the bottle
and cork cost a great deal more than
the contents.

However a man is gifted, whether
for active enterprise Of thought or
charity, there lies around him world
of opportunity. So far behind are we

no ambition fire us to help the de-

soul to see and rejoice in the growing

WORKING WITHOUT SYSTEM
Lack of Mental Control and Concern
tyation Is Fatal.


tyation Is Fatal.
A man who does forcible work must
dismiss a subject from his mind when
he is done with it, This increases the
grasp and power of the mind and keeps
it clear for concentration upon the
thing under consideration. Nothing
can be accomplished with half a mind;
you must concentrate or focus all your
powers upon the thing you are doing.
This you can never do when things by
the score are half settled in your mind,
continually obtruding themselves for
consideration, and hindering the
thought of present problems.
When you have anything in hand,
settle it. Do not look at it, lay it
down, then look at something else and
lay that down also, but settle things
as you go along. It is a thousand times
better to make an occasional mistake
than never to settle anything, but be
always balancing, weighing and con-
sidering many things at time.
It is vigorous thought which counts.
A subject which is handled, so to
speak, with the tips of the mental fin
gers, never amounts to anything. You
must seize and grasp with all your
might the thing you are attempting,
and do it with vigor and enthusiasm,
if you wish to bear the stamp Of SUI
periority when completed. Another
defect in your work, which arises from
the faults 1 have mentioned, is failure
to complete things. Your work bears
the impress Of incompleteness, and
seems always to lack something.
If you could overcome these defects
you might be successful, for you really
possess great ability, but lack definite
ness. Evidently your mind has not
been trained to eXactitude. There has
been carelessness in your education
somewhere. 1t may be partly the
fault of your teachers or your parents
in not calling your attention in early
life to these deficiencies If this had
been done the task of correction would
have been easier than it is now, but
the faults may still be overcome if
proper diligence be used. | hope, for
your own sake, that you will set about
it with determination

fragments, portions of it being found
in three places at the angles of tri-

some fifty-fve and thirty-fve miles in
length. In one of these places two
plates of stone We're discovered, lying
about $50 yards apart, which had evil

Measurements and estimations place
the combined weight of the two blocks
at eighty tons. In this one shower of

BIRD Superstitions.

In many parts of England there are
curious superstitions about birds. The
stonechat, for instance, is believed to
be continually chatting with the evil
one, so it is held in bad repute, and as
the raven commonly impersonates his
sable majesty it is ranked in the same
category of evil birds Sometimes, how
ever, the ravens appearance, so it is
held, forebodes a death.
