.ROTHSCH!LD FAMlLY.
BON OF HOUSE STUDYING FL
 NANCE IN UNITED STATES.
Little History of the Founding of This Portentous Jewish Clan,
 Rise from Ghetto to
 Highest Eminence.

We are having as visitor in this coun- try at the present moment Baron Al bhonse Rotschild, who has come over to study American banking methods. It has been the custom of the house of RothschiId to send their young men abroad that they may become familiar ized with foreign methods, but this is the first time we have been honored. A bit of compliment to the financial prog ress made by this country.
 A most interesting house is the house of Rothschild. Once, inhabitants of continental Ghetto, they to-day are kings of finance, controllers of fabulous wealth, their name probably as we'll l nown as that of any potentate. An ar- ticle in The Idler describes their rise from obscurity to fame, after this fash ion: "The members of a despised com munity, who lived, everywhere on suf- ferance, they became the friends of princes, the patrons of statesmen, the Rrbiters, even, of war and peace"
 They are Jews Jews that have made money and that have given it away with boundless liberality. It was in Frank Cort-on-the-M Main they began operations on a large fscale, a city than which 1t would seem there was none other in Eu- rope where Jew would have less chance to rise. In the ''Judengasse, to which the Frankfort Jews were restricted, the race was held down with heaviest lim1- tations; they were forced to wear badges, and on their houses distinctive shields were placed -RothSehild means red shield. The founder of the house was Mayer, son of Rabbi Amschel, dealer in old coins and curiosities. It was de- sired that Mayer become 8 rabbi, but his tastes led him to prefer business life and he entered banking house in Hanover. Later he returned to the Judengasse. and, like his father, became a dealer in curiosities and old coins.
 He won the title of Honest Jew, and this reputation, as we'll as his experience In banking, led to the bestowal of favor upon him by William Tx, the landgrave of Hesse, who appointed him his 1nan- cial agent-"cou Jew.' That the con- fdence was not misplaced was subse- Cuent1y proved beyond doubt. At the

 tions Were Begun.
 time NapoIeon's troops were about to i'm wade Hesse-C -Cassel, William gave the whole of his fortune into the keeping of the court Jew" Rothschild hid the treasure in vaults beneath his house In the Judengasse. The soldiers plundered the Jews quarters, too; and, In order to save the treasure of another, the Hon est Jew" allowed his own house to be Hespoiled without opposition. On the return of William the wealth was re- stored to him and interest paid for what time 1t was in use.
 Mayer Rothschild was able at his death (1S12) to beQueath to his i've sons an immense fortune and a great busi- ness. He left also this advice-that they remain faithful to their religion, united in business, and that they con- Rult their mother before engaging in an enterprise of importance. The mother lived to the advanced age of o6 years, so attached to the Judengasse that she refused to leave it. Tradition does not say whether or not the sons called her into frequent counsel, but if 50 1t must have entailed some trouble, for one son settled in Vienna, another in London, one in Paris, one in Naples, and only the eldest remained in Frankfort. This son, .Anselm, was typical Roths- child, "a man of unusual penetration of judgment, devoted to business, scru- pulously observant of his faith, and ex- ceedingly charitable
 Year by year the Rothschilds rose in importance, their various European houses consolidated in union of great strength. Their large capital enabled them to aid various states from time to time, and their rewards for these serv- ices added greatly to their wealth. The Napoleonic wars was an ill-wind that blew them good, and they were able to assist, with eventual gain to themselves, different countries whose finances had become exhausted in the periods when Napoleon would not cease from troub- ling. As the first capitalists by whom government loans were issued, they are looked upon ag the founders of the mod ern stock exchange. Later, as the credit of the government rose, the Rothschilds began to employ their capital in promo tion of jofnt-stock enterprises. As political factors they have been of marked importance; have sometimes been enabled to obtain oficial news be- fore the rulers of the countries inter ested were informed.

THE REPuBL &c OF CANADA
How the Annexation Sentiment Has
Been Gradually supplanted by
Greater Ambition.

Twenty years ago, says Cy Warman,
IN Leslie's Monthly, 20 per cent. OF the
people of Canada would have welcomed
the annexation Of the dominion to the
United States. Ten years ago only ten
per cent. Of the men who think thought
seriously of such a move, and to-day
no one ever mentions the matter at ALL
Twenty years ago only q few dream
ers dreamed Of the republic of Canada
Ten years later ten per cent Of the
people were III favor OF It, and to-day
20 out Of every 100 Canadians would
welcome the news that Canada had
cast OF the cable that moors her to
the motherland and had blossomed out
rs nation.
The relations between the people OF
the United States and the people of
Canada will grow more friendly and
pleasant as the years go by, because Of
the wholesale swapping of citizens now
going on. Millions of Canadians have
gone to the states, and In the next dec
ade millions Of Americans will have
crossed into Canada. We shall like each
other better as we see each other more.
for we North Americans are the peo-
ple--all Of US.

HAD A PROPHETIC VISION.
Russian Writer Foretold Disaster
That Recently Befell His Coun-
try's Navy at. Port Arthur.

One of the most remarkable instances
of political prophecy that have come
to light in recent years Is reported by
Dr. E. ]. Dillon. A Russian named Lew
itoff published recently at Port Arthur
a pamphlet urging that the Russians
do everything possible to gain time and
that they withdraw the feet as an In
cumberance and depend upon their nu-
merical superiority on land. With great
clearness he pointed out the perils Of
meeting Japan on the sea.
"The Yellow Bosporus" (the Straits
Of Corea) sis a trap into which the
Japs, at England's instigation are try
ing to entice US. So long as we steer
clear Of a sea fight" he continues, 1.-THE
command of the sea and the Anglo
Japanese alliance are not worth q
sucked egg. II we resolve to keep out
Of an engagement on water and II we
are further prepared to do without our
feet, not only by refusing to increase
it but by getting rid of it wholly and
without reserve. then the japanese doc
trine, Asia for Asiatics, becomes mean
ingless and we have a free field on
which to continue our work Of culture
In that part OF the g.ibe.'

LIZARDS AS ORNAMENTS.

titles are il flies, crickets, grasshop
pers or katydids are thrown to them
frequently, when one has seized a par
ticularly fat grasshopper, another will
attempt to take it away. They are also
fond of reaches, but care nothing for
hard-shelled beetles. They will not
seize an insect unless 1t is moving,
and one often knows when the attack
Is to be made. as the lizard opens Its
mouth just little way before spring
ing upon its prey. It uses its tongue
with the same agility as does the frog
or toad, and gorges large insect pref
ty much the same way as snake swal-
lows toad.
In burrowing in the sand they make
several strokes with the right or left
forefoot, changing from one to the
other; but when this dirt is to be
worked out of the way, they use their
hind feet with alternate strokes with
great rapidity. The female in this
way evidently digs into the ground,
where she deposits dozen or more
white eggs, which she leaves for the
warm earth to hatch.
l know of nothing else SO easily
tanned. When caught in the hand they
seldom attempt to escape. Placed on
ones clothing, they often sit in the
same position for long time. Know
ing this popularity. decorated my
little son with 10 lizards, just to prove
to some skeptical people that was
willing to back up my assertion with
a demonstration. Yet one. observer who
witnessed it declared that it was risky,
and that he knew man who had lost a
finger from the venomous bite Of q
fence lizard. A teamster who was not
afraid to handle snake could not be
persuaded to touch lizard, although
they both saw finger thrust into lit
tie saurian's mouth. Ignorance is hard
to Danish, but it easily drives away the
truth.
They are rot only harmless, but bene-
fetal. Lying on the fences which sur
round the field of growing crops, they
devour many insects as these attempt
to enter the fields, thus beneflting the
who have no appreciation Of
their value.-A. r. NJ. Spaid, in Scien-
tific American.

FUNNY LITTLE BOBBY BIRD
An Oceanic Fowl That Seems to Have
Less Sense Than Any Other
Known Creature.

The BOBBY bird, an oceanic fowl, Is
probably the funniest and most stupid
bird in the world. It appears to have
as little intelligence as the old ex-
tinct dodo had, according to the an
cient accounts.
The BOBBY nests on islands far out
In the Pacific ocean. and will not stir
out of the way when men land there.
but remains squatted on the ground,
staring at intruders stolidly.
1t can fly very well indeed, and
goes long distances; but when it Is
sitting on the water 1t will remain di-
rectly in the course Of ship, so that
it happens often that steamer will
go clear over BOBBY that could cas-
lily have swan or flown out OF the
way.
Sometimes BOBBY birds will fly on
the deck OF ship and lie there with
their legs sprawling under them, max
ing no attempt to rise, as if their be-
wilderment had quite numbed their
weak intellect.
The BOBBY does not feed its young
as other birds do, by carrying food
to them in its bill. Instead OF this,
the BOBBY swallows the food, and
then the young bird thrusts It's head
into the throat Of the parent and fishes
the food out.
When two young boobies are
Matched in the same nest, the one that
is out Of the egg first will often at
tempt to eat its younger, brother or
sister.
When shot is fred at a BOBBY
bird, 1t generally falls down flat on
the ground and screams pitiably, even
II it has not been hit at all; SO that
it happens frequently that a gunner
gathers in entirely unhurt BOBBY birds
that have simply been frightened into
helplessne ss.-Boston Globe.
