Twenty years ago or more Baron Edmond
Rothschild of Paris undertook at his own
expense to try an extensive experiment
He purchased large tracts of land in diff
ferent parts of Palestine and settled upon
them some twenty or more colonies, with
about 5000 Jews from Roumania, Poland,
Russia and other parts of Europe. Inc
experiment has cost him at least s1o.000,0Oo,
and he admits that it is a failure. He has
abandoned this vast scheme or phllan-
thropy, transferred all of the land and
other property to the Jewish Colonization
Society of London and has endowed II with
fund of $40. 600. COO the interest on which
may be used to carry on the work
The failure of the Jewish colonies Is at
tributed to the inability and the unwilling
ness of the people to till the soil. They can
work with their minds but not with their
muscles, and while there have been excep-
lions, while many families have gone ear
nestly at work to earn their own living and
make the movement a success, the great
majority of the benefciaries have been in
different, indolent. neglectful and mischiev-
Gus. As a consequence, the colonies are
disintegrating Those who can raise the
money are going to Egypt, South Africa,
Australia, South America and the United
States, and the ungrateful are denounc ng
their benefactors in unmeasured terms. The
directors of the cooniZat ton society come
in for a large share of the abuse, and, alto
gether the present condition at the jew
ish colonies Is unhappy.

Oratory Neglected in Japan.

Mr. Bryan has been making a series OF
eloquent speeches to the people of Japan

genius. The newspapers are filled with

Arab farmers and Bedouin cattlemen.
There are now about 100000 Jews alive.
AT the most prosperous period of the He
brew nation the population is supposed to
have been about $500. 900. Hence the ad-

Hebrews in olden times lived upon far less

100000 Jews in Palestine, what induce

and contented elsewhere into a dreary and
lonesome country, without amusements,
art, culture or opportunities for business,
and what are they to do when they get
there? And, assuming that they would
go. how are they going to get possession
of the property? Who will crowd out the
fierce Arabs and persuade the Bedouins to
sell their land? And where will they go,
and the Syrians and the Greeks, who will
also be displaced? Who will stay the hands
of the Druses and Maronites? They hate
the Jews more than any other sect, and

of interest to millions of Sunday-school
teachers and scholars, but to multitudes of
intelligent Jews. The proposition of the
possible colonization of the Jews under
their own government in the land of their
origin, without paying tribute and with
liberty to follow their own customs and
religion, Is very much talked about at
present, not only In the United States, but
throughout the world

In Palestine all the living children of Israel,
for it is the land that was given to their
fathers by the Great Jehovah in his cove
nant with Jacob. The practical element
does not look upon the proposition with
great favor because the Jews are not a
pastoral or an agricultural people. Their
commercial instincts are strong, and 1t is
not believed that they will ever prosper ex-
cept in trade and manufacturing industries.
But the movement appeals very strongly to

The Area of Palestine.
The area of Palestine is estimated at
1880 sQ1Are miles, and the population is
650.O00. or about sixty-two persons to the
square mile. which is very small compared
with Europe. and Is certainly much less
than the country can support. Its pro-
ductiyeness could be increased many fold
by the introduction of modern methods and
labor-saving machinery. The land Is not

THEORIES ABOUT FooD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same subjec

FAAoO q 4 VW 4 dCbo O1I OAO NodhAC A0ubJOCt-
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along
the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
large cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and the
ories galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in mat
ters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in a highly concentrated form and is
digested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
DR.. julius Remmon on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of it. If
the digestion is too feeble at first it
may be easily corrected by the relief
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal Two of these excellent tab
lets taken after dinner will digest sew
eral thousand grains of meat, eggs or
other animal food in three hours, and
no matter how weak the stomach may
be, no trouble will be experienced if a
regular practice is made Of using Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
supply the pepsin and diastase neces-
sary to perfect digestion, and every
form of indigestion will be overcome
by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
it's proper digestion by the daily use
of safe, harmless digestive medicine
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets COM
posed of the natural digestive princi-
Piles, pepsin, diatese, fruit acids, and
salts, which actually perform the work
of digestion. Cheap cathartic medi-
cines, masquerading under the name Of
dyspepsia cures are useless for indi-
gestion as they have absolutely no eff
feet upon the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to di-
gest food, and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time Of prep
aration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, which is endorsed by the medical
profession and known to contain active
digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart g Dyspepsia
Tablets at 90 cents for full treatment.

land, then to Ashtabula, and from
there to Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
Then the party will be divided, some
taking the Grand Trunk to Montreal
and then going to Boston. The rest of
the party will go over the New York
Central to Schnectady, where the
plants of the General Electric company
and the American Locomotive Works
will be inspected.
The other trip will take in Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Buffalo and Nj
agara Falls, in addition to the shops on
the first tour. A number of the for
eign railroad officials will spend some
time in New York and Philadelphia.
