The Jewish outlook., 1905-01-27

throws a light upon one set of crying
abuses: 1--WE, the recruits of the KOvel dis
trict, ,suffocating in the sitting atmosphere of
the police prison, beseech your excellency
to save from humiliation disgrace and
suffering. We came freely to discharge the
sacred civil duty of military service. We
were taken directly from the army commit
tee room, and like prisoners, escorted by
an armed convoy to the police station. We
are locked up in small, murky, reeking
room, infested with vermin, and are treated
in all respects like heinous criminals Where
fore? For what offense? Can it be that
men summoned to defend their fatherland
must undergo the diabolical tortures of ply
sical and moral humiliation? The presi-
dent of the committee and the police cap
tain violate the law to the detriment of the
Jewish recruits, demanding things impossi-
BILE and unheard of, and outraging person
ality. In the name of the law and of human
ity, order our liberation from prison, and
have us sent to military commander"
The London Times prints the following
telegram from it's correspondent in Manchu-
ria: "The Russian government found it nee
esssary to call in private doctors. On this
occasion the Russian government did not
fail to exhibit it's traditional malevolent feel
ingS towards the Jewish population. AS is
well known, Jews in Russia can never as
pire to commission in the army. On leav-
ing the university they are registered in
the army lists, but are never admitted to
actual service. This is no great hardship
they probably earn more than the monthly
military allowance, for they are admittedly
cleverer than their orthodox colleagues
This must be so, when one reflects that
the number of Jew university students is
limited by law, and that consequently only
the pick of them effect an entrance and
obtain the degree; besides which the Jews
are naturally more sober and more d1llgent
than the others. Now it is remarkable that
about ninety per cent. of lie private ply
scans ordered to Manchuria are Jews, who
have thus been obliged to abandon their
practice; and it is presumed tnat the
war will last one or two years, good num-
Der of their patients will fall into the hands
of their orthodox confreres, who have been
allowed to remain peacefully at home. Nor
did the government do anything to compen-
safe the Jews; on the contrary, while all
officers received at the moment they were
appointed to the Manchurian army full
years allowance in advance, besides travel
ing expenses, calculated on a very liberal
scale, the Jews not only received nothing,
but were debarred from receiving decora-
tons and all other distinctions. They COM
planned bitterly of this, but did their duty
none the less.

Epfdemtrs of History.

In the twelfth century not less than
fifteen epidemics Of disease ana many
fdmines carried of the people Of Eng,
land. The thirteenth century saw
twenty plaques and nineteen faminrS,
while the fourteenth had black Rec
ord of disease. III 1913 the black
plague" or black DEATH" which was
brought into the country from the
east. caused the death of 100000 per
sons in London alone, while in Europe
altogether 2o.OOo,00O people fell vic
tins to its ravagcs. In 14S5 the
sweating sickness appeared IN Eng.
land, causing great destruction OF hu.
man life 1t reappeared at various ill.,
tervals for century thereafter. The
last terrible visitation of the plague
in England was in 1G6i-6G, by which
100000 lives were lost III London alone
This epidemic was followed by the
great fire Of 1866, which destroyed TO-
600 houses. including all the most
densely populated portions of the city.
The rebuilding of London with some
regard to sanitary laws appears to
have put the first check on the epidem-
ic diseases that had previously devas-
tated its population.

interior of Arabia to Alden that it be-

Master Prynne, the weak well mean

Nj. Torevin de Rochefort, who. pub

this by telling US that he found smok-

well among women as among men.

the difficulties he encountered IN
getting his early education, having
in his pocket scarcely money
enough to make a jingle. His
hardships only EXCHANGED his en-
joyment, however. Education, he
says, can. render. young people
hardly better service than to teach
them how to make their pleasures
independent Of money. 1t requires
only that we learn to appreciate the
various good: things offered by al
most every environments, which
cost nothing. In this way we dis
cover how many enjoyments there
are in life which usually remain
hidden to the rich, who are in the
habit Of purchasing their pleasures
with silver aud gold.

Bed sores are sores that form on
those parts of the body that are under
most in the position taken up by the
bed occupant AS rule they never
form unless the sufferer is confined to
one position. When set up they are
most distressing. Whisky or brandy
used as lotion to the healthy skin
once daily will prevent them. When
there are commencing sores they should
be treated with white Of egg mixed
with powdered alum. The two should
be well rubbed up together. II one has
not a mortar and pestle 1t is a good
plan to mix the things in a basin with
q bone knife handle.

MAGIC IN TIBET
Fests of the WOnder Workers of the

Tests Of the Wonder Workers Of the
Land Of Mystery.
India and neighboring countries are
the home of mystery and the black
arts. Even In the centers Of civiliza-
ton there are fortune tellers and won
der workers to whom supernatural
powers are attributed by these who
scorn .superstitious belief. Says writ
er: "Tibetan peddlers have affirmed
over and over again that, living in the
mountains near the city of Lassa, there
are men possessing extraordinary pow
ers; distinct from and far higher than
the ordinary lamas.
"These men cure the sick by giving
them rice to eat which they crush out
Of the paddy with their hands. They
perform many other remarkable feats.
We are told that a young Bengali In
1882 testified before q number OF re-
spectacle witnesses that while travel
Ing in Tibet, in the neighborhood Of
the lake of Manasarawara, he met one
Of these men accompanied by num-
Der of chelas, or pupils. The master
saluted him and, finding that he had
nothing to eat, gave him some ground
grain and tea.
"As the Bengal had no means Of OBJ
tanning FIRE the master called for some
fuel and kindled 1t by simply blowing
81 e with his mouth. He also cured
shepherd who was brought to him
suffering from rheumatic fever, then
and there. by giving him few grains
Of rice crushed out Of the paddy which
be had in his hand"
