"Oh, God, Thy will be donel"-
But, "Spare the boy" in grief they
cried;
He was spared-the victory won,
But, oh, the victory For six long
years
They looked on thsir answered prayer
in tears.
But the noble lad with his brilliant
mind,
Could patiently suffer and wait;
He had faith in God, could trust his
word,
And lean on His promises, strong and
great,
He was never heard to sigh or COM
plain,
Though his once cherished hopes he
knew were in vain.
He loved to read of the sufferings of
Christ,
The afflictioLs of Job also;
From them gained strength his bur
dens to bear
This cloud that hung so low.
And he found more pleasure in his
pathway,
Than we who grumble from day to
day,
To see with what patience he bore his
pain,
That alone would tighten ones cares.
He was ever thoughtful of those un-
saved,
And for them he lent his prayers.
To his comrades his friendship was
ever true,
And he'd often say, "Im praying for
you"
His life lesson to all would teach
A lesson Of patience and trust;
That God knows best, If We can't un-
derstand,
But lean on His promise we must

plate. Every schoolboy for genera
tions has dabbled with these blue crys-
tails, or has watched his teacher use
them for ordinary classroom expert
ments. And yet who would have
imagined that pinch of these crystals
dissolved in the water-tank in the attic,
or in the cistern or well, would kill
any typhoid germs that might be Turk
ing there; that it's use would insure
healthful drinking water in crowded
military camp; that it would extermi-
nate malaria-and-yellow-fe carrying
mosquitoes in stagnant pools and
swamps by destroying the vegetable
organisms on which the mosquito lar
vac feed; that it would, in few
hours, make the water of an evil
smelling and ,foul-looking city reser-
voir, containing billions of gallons Of
water, clean and sweet; and that the
amount of copper that accomplishes all
this is so small that while it kills the
bacteria in the water it does not make
the drinking water poisonous or in
furious to the human system?
It has been known for long time
that copper destroys bacteria, but the
metal has not been much used hereto
fore for the purpose, because scien-
lists have generally believed that the
dose required to kill the bacteria must
be very concentrated-so concentrat,
ed, in fact, that it would poison the
water or substance containing the
bacteria and make the cure worse than
the evil. A specialist of the United
States Government, DR.. George T.
Moore, has now come forward and an
nounced, with the authority of the
government behind him, that he has
discovered how to get the good effect
of copper without any dangerous re-
suit that he has way of using copper
so diluted that it cannot hurt a baby,
and yet so active that it will destroy
virulent cholera and typhoid bacilli in
four or five hours.-Century.

FEED THE BIRDS.
Shelves Where They May AIight SafS
From SteaIthy Cats.

Many people make practice c.
throwing crumbs on the snow cs

even though lazy in it's method, would

true that birds soon learn to look 1oE
these crumbs, but equally true is IL
that cats also learn that crumbs at
tract birds, and, according to instinct.
cats regard a bird simply as an article
of food, to be procured by the easiest
possible method Another objection is
that some birds dislike feeding on the
ground. Whether they consider il
dangerous, or whatever their reason,
tthEley must be hard-pressed by hunger
before they will come down to the food
The question of what sort Of shelf to
use is not of any great Importance
So long as it is placed beyond the
reach of cats, the form matters very
little. If you wish to have an abso-
lutely cat-proof contriyance, about as
easy a way as any is to nail narrow
strip Of half-inch board (say four feet
long and three inches wide) to tree.
bevel the upper edge SO that cat can'
not get a foothold, and place the feed
ing-shelf at the end farthest from the
tree. In order to prevent the small
food, such as nuts, from blowing off,
it is well to have rim.

A Town With Two Names.

A new town, with two names and
situated in two countries, has just
been discovered by United States GUS
toms people. The town is partly in
San Diego County, Cal, and partly
in Mexico. The part in California is
called Calexico, and the part in Mex
leo is called Mexicale. Each country
has a custom house and a railroad will
soon unite the twins Calexico and
Mexicale to Yuma and Salton Lake.
Meanwhile the double town is said to
be f1ourishing, if customs receipts are

CHRISTMAS IN THE GHETTO.
Strange Sight Of Orthodox Jews ceIe-
brating the Christian Festival.


In "The Universal Spirit Of Christ
mas, the Worlds Work describes a
curious custom that has grown up in
New York:
The American Christmas suffers a
strange fate in the Ghetto. Nine
tenths of it's Jews are from Russia
There, every church festival is purely
religious, and on Christmas the Jews
crouch behind barricaded doors in ter
ror of outrage by peasants drunk with
vodka. Here, we lay little stress on
the religious side of it, and the major
ity Of adult Jews in the Ghetto do not
know that it is anything more than the
principal social festival of the year
Many of them think it is kind Of
children's day, and nothing else. And
so, in ignorance of it's origin, many q
Jew who is so orthodox that he would
not allow an English book to lie on a
table touching a volume of his holy
Hebrew will yet permit his children
to join in the merriment.
Peddlers, and those who work in the
factories, feel the difference in the sea-
son, and the increasing volume of bust
ness, and fall into sympathy with their
general environment. A very large
number of them give presents to the
children, and allow them to hang up
their stockings on Christmas Eve.
They will not, however, have tree in
their rooms. There are no Christmas
dinners; the stores do not close, and
the shops work on as usual. For their
Santa Claus, the little ones must visit
a settlement house, or their more for
innate friends whose parents are less
strict And it is the less orthodox and
their children who lead the way in
adopting the new custom. Little
Rachel cries for a doll like Rebecca's
on the floor below, and her orthodox
mother cannot resist her tears.
Christmas has so far made it's way
among the Jews as a social festival
that it already eclipses the Fourth OF
July and Thanksgiving Day. In prep
aration for it, Grand street, the main
avenue of the Ghetto in New York, is
cholzed for an entire week with push
carts and crowding shoppers. The
stores display every kind of toy and
gweetmeat for the children, with gilt

RALrIMoRE's BANANA KING.
His Success illustrates the opportuni.

ties Open to Youth.
A man who is responsible for the
Importation annually of two million
punches of bananas from the tropics
may, with propriety be called the
Banana King" This is the distinc-
ton enjoyed by Joseph di Giorgio,
whose place of business is at 8 West
Pratt street. The Di Giorgio Import
ing and Steamship Company is the
owner of a feet of vessels engaged in
plying between this port and the West
Indies. The house has branches in
Port Antonio, Jamaica, and Washing
ton, D. c. The senior member of the
firm is a Sicilian, and is not yet thirty
years of age.
When but lad Joseph was sent by
his father to New York to acquire
knowledge of business. He seems to
have caught the spirit of American en-
terprise, for, although but fifteen years
of age, he obtained in a ten-month en-
ployment in fruit exporting house a
working knowledge Of the business.
Returning to Sicily he made arrange
ments with house there to represent
its interests in America.
This brought young Di Giorgio to
America to reside. After staying
awhile in New York he came to Balti-
more and started in the fruit business
in small way. He had the enterprise,
courage and integrity to forge ahead
in his chosen field and to overcome all
obstacles. In 1897, when he had been
in Baltimore but two years, he assist
ed in organizing the Monumental Trad
ing Company, and went to jamaica in
the capacity of purchaser for that COM
pany. In June, 1898, a disastrous ship
wreck brought Di Giorgio again almost
to the last rung Of the ladder But he
had gained sufficient experience in the
fruit importing business to see the Wis
tas of promise that it opened up, and,
with intelligence and industry, sue
ceeded in getting re-established in
business.
Before Di Giorgio engaged in the
business Of importing tropical fruits
that industry was in the hands of one
large concern. Di Giorgio extended
his business, which had been confined
to the Jamaica plantations, and estab-
lished business connections with Cen
trail American countries from which it
was possible to secure bananas and
other tropical fruits when the West
India supplies we're cut off by the dis
astrous sweep over those islands and
cause great destruction of the fruits
This foresight stood him in good
stead in 1903, when one such hurri-
cane struck Jamaica, ruined the crops
and almost uprooted the trees them
selves. Di Giorgio just prior to this
calamity had contracted for one
of the largest plantations in Cuba.
While immense loss was entailed to
all the planters in Jamaica and Di
Giorgis principal competitors were
seriously embarrassed, his foresight
enabled him to draw from other
sources the supplies he needed In
deed, he found himself practically in
control of the banana business in the
eastern part of the United States, and
Baltimore became the leading point of
import for tropical fruits along the At
1antic eaboard.-Baltimor Herald.
