Menelik of Abyssinia is a man of dark
compexion, grizzled whiskers and beard,
a pleasant smile and a very determined

and intelligent and confirms the general
opinion that he is the most liberal-mind-
ed and progressive man in his dominion.
He is evidently not given up to effein-
mate luxury, and the nearest way to his
heart is said to bel through theH latest
invention in military aweapons.ei He has
thoroughly subjugated the entire cotin-
try and turned 1t from a mass OF petty

with but few customers to be waited
OH and it has been so for several days.
Perhaps next pay day will brighten

seems a long while to wait with piles

AN ACHIEVEMENT IN BUYING.
How a Texas House That Had Beeu
Burned Out Quickly Got
a New stock.

One morning a New York syndicate
buyer received the following telegram
| from one of his largest Texas clients:
Burned out. Must have complete
stock at once. Have engaged temporary
quarters. Use judgment, but rush
| goods"
The store was one of the largest in
its territory, says the Worlds Work,
and every day lost to business meant
a tremendous loss of money. The syn
dictate buyer figured on a large sheet
of paper for 20 minutes. At the end
of this time he called ais staff of buy
ers and explained the situation. He
had blocked out a large commission
for each, with the exception of two;
they were to arrange for fast freight
shipment and to negotiate for imme-
diate express shipment for goods that
went in small quantities. 1t was the
end Of tbs season and the stock OF
| goods in New York was almost eX-
,hausted. To his men he said: "Iye
got to buy a 100000 stock and do it
right away" Every man went about
his task. The head of the buying bu-
reau kept in telephone communication
with his men for taree hours, advising
| planning, all the while assembling a
mass of goods. Then he went out
himself and bought. 3.
By noon $4,000 worth of goods had
been secured by the buyers, and by
| night half of it all was on the way to
| Texas. A week from the night of the
fire the 500, 900 stock was ready in the
| Texas merchants temporary quarters
and a remarkable buying achievement
| had been done. at

Celia Rubenstein, while sitting up
in bed, wrote one of the cutest little
letters to-, her grandma and grandpa
telling them not to worry about her,
for she was feeling SO much better
and that the doctor had said she could
get up the following day. Her anxiety
about their worrying about her wal
great and was depicted very plainly
when she reiterated that she was feel
ing splendid and how she had busted
herself while sitting ur in a sick bed
that day. Her devotion to them is
worthy of admiration. Celia did not
forget her friends, among whom was
mentioned the News correspondent
twice. In return, (for we know she
will see this), we send her our very
kindest regards, sympathy and wish
for a complete recovery and a sight OF
her bright face very soon. As celia
has a number of littlo friends in this

cry after quite a serious illness, and
that she has been a very good little

WHERE HEBREW is SPOKEN.
Two Societies Exist in New York City
for Its Preservation as a
Live Language.

To those who think OF Hebrew as o
dead language, it will be a surprise to
learn that there are a number OF So
cieties in this city whose affairs are
conducted in classic Hebrew, says the
New York Post. The two most i'm
portant of these organizations are the
Ohole Shem association and the Mephit-
gay Sfas Eber. In the former the older
element predominates; in the latter the
young people.
The great movement among Hebralsts
in Russia to ~rejuvenate the Hebrew
speech and promote its literature found
q ready and willing response from a
few young men and women, residents
of the East Side, who, about a year
and a half ago., organized the Mephltzay
Sfas Eber (Hebrew Culture society. It's
continually increasing membership now
numbers about 10. The society meets
every Sunday evening at eight O'Clock
in the Educational Alliance, n demon
strates that the Hebrew language Is
living tongue, for all business and III
erary discussions are carried on IN the
classic diction of the prophets. The So
ciety has opened classes for the instruc-
ton OF Hebrew in English, which nave
proved to be very successful. Recently
It conceived the idea of uniting all he
brew-speaking organizations of this
country into a federation similar to the
French federation in the United States.
1t is now agitating this idea.

some Facts Concerning the Temper.
AZURE as Recorded at the Bottom
of Very Deep Mines.

In the report of the last coal commits
sion the conclusion is arrived at that at a
depth of 8 200 feet the temperature OF the
earth would amount to 9S degrees Fahr-
enheit, but it was considered that a depth
OF at least 4,0G0 feet might ultimately be
reached in coal mining. says Engineer
ing Magazine. The rate of increase, the
commissioners thought, might for ordi-
nary be assumed to be n degree
Fahrenheit for every so feet, but it is in
reality impossible to give any liked rate
of increase. The report of the British
association committee on underground
temperatures during the last 80 years
tends to show, not only that the tenn
perature gradient varies considerably in
different localities, but that it is not
easy to deduce q fixed law of increase
applicable to all cases. In some parts
of western America the heat at 3 GOO feet
is almost unbearable, while at the Calu-
met and Hecla copper mine in north
Michigan, u. S. A., there Isl rise Of only
four degrees Fahrenheit in a depth of
4,400 feet, although no artificial ventila-
ton is resorted to- The temberatere,o OF

n. r. Office.

Frank Dey, of Bordeutown avenue,
who has advanced from office boy to a
very good position i'll the Central
Railroad Company s advertising office
on West street, New York city, SO
rapidly as to astonish his friends, has
again been promoted to the second
highest position in the office and is
now assistant advertising clerk.
While Mr.. Dey cannot help but be
plelsed Mt his promotion, the fact that
it came through the sad death Of the
former assistant clerk, Norman Shaw,
a great friend of his, throws o cloud
over the pleasure.
Norman was one of three young men
in the office who attended the brauti.
full wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Dey at
South River, over a year ago, L of
whom died shortly afterwards and
now but one of the three remains.
Norman Shaw was au exceptionally
fine young a and supported his
widowed mother, a young brother and
grandfather. He resided ut Bound
Brook and sang in the choir of the
Episcopal church in that town. He
made friends wherever he went and
had a host of them in Bound Brock
who will miss him very much. He is
missed by his office associates also.
He died with typhoid pneumonia at
his home in Bound Brook, aged
twenty-one years and nine months,
The funeral took place from the Epis-
copal church in that place last Sum
dav.
