Popularity of Yiddish,

Yiddish is an archaic and corrupt
form of German extensively spoken
by Jews in many countries besides
Germany itself. A startling instance
of its popularity is given by writer
In Jerusalem he met "a worthy man
who denounced me for being unable to
converse with him in Yiddish You
are no Jew he protested, for you do
not know the Jewish language | an
swered that Hebrew was the Jewish
language and that | was quite willing
to try to speak to him in it. His re-

Good Reason.

Representative Adamson, of Geor-
gia. says that when he was Judge of
his county court fellow was before
him charged with having stolen a pair
of pantaloons-they call them "britch-
es" in Georgia. There were several
witnesses, but the evidence was rather
meagre, and the accused was acquit-
ted. He was told that he could go,
but he remained in his seat His
lawyer, to whose successful defense
he owed his liberty, limited to him
that he was free to depart, but he
didn't bulge.

"And why not?" asked the lawyer

"Why?"
"Why, sir, I've got on the britches

ALCOHOL IN MOST MEDICINES.
indispensable Requisite in Compound.
ing Of Some Prescriptions.

1t Is OF course true that some pro-
prletary medicines contain alcohol and
nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain it. No honest
man Will defend the sale of intoxi-
cants under the guise of medicine. Int
every honest man should protest
against a system Of wholesale denun.
citation born of malice or ignorance
OF pharmaceutical principles, and fos
tered by selfish interests. 1t is as.
sumed that alcohol is the cause of in
temperance; but there is a great diff
terence between alcohol and whisky.
II a substitute for alcohol could be
found for use in the manufacture OF
medicines, its discoverer would render
a great service to the profession OF
pharmacy and the science of medi
cine, for alcohol is a very expensive
ingredient and cheaper substitute
would be gladly accepted. Unfortun.
ately the word alcohol, in the minds
OF many people is associated exclu
Slvely with bar-rooms, drunkenness
and all forms of degradation and vice
This is due to a lack of knowledge
by the general public of the fact that
alcohol is an indispensable requisite
N drugs, tinctufes and fluid extracts
All fluid extracts and tinctures on the
druggists shelves contain from 20 tC
30 per cent of alcohol; and of all
liquid medicines prescribed by ply
sicians more than rs per cent contain
1t in large proportions.
Alcohol is required to preserve or
ganlc substances from deterioration
and from freezing, and it is also re
CURED to dissolve substances not solu
BILE in water, while it contributes to
their preservation when dissolved
Diluted alcohol is largely employed in
fluid extracts; and whenever greater
strength of alcohol is required as Q
solvent for extracting medicinal prin
ciples) the medicine is of such char
acter as to preclude large dosage;
and for this reason preparations, even
if containing so per cent or more OF
alcohol, are practically less intoxicat.
ing than beer In such cases the
character of the medicinal constituents
is such as to absolutely forbid the
taking of the medicine in any way
except in very small doses and at
stated intervals only. To assume that
any great number of proprietary med
icines are used as beverages is the
veriest absurdity.-Exchange.

THE INSTINCT OF MIGRATION.
Shown in Fall Flight of the Bobolnk
Toward the Southland.

The instinct of migration is one OF
the most wonderful in the world, says
c. William Beebe, in Recreation. A
young bobwhite and bobolink are
Matched in. the same New England
field. The former grows up and dur
ing the fall and winter forms one OF
the covey which is content to wander
mile or two, here and there, In
search of good feeding grounds. Hard
ly has the bobolink donned his first
full dress before an irresistible i'm
pulse seizes him. One night he rises
up and up, ever higher, on fluttering
wings, sets his course southwark
gives you a glimpse of him athwart
the moon, and keeps on through Vir-
ginia to Florida, across seas, over
tropical islands, far into South Ameri'
ca, never content until he has put the
great Amazon between him and his
far-distant birthplace.

Famous Highway to the Southwest
Built Only Century Ago.

A hundred years ago the eyes OF
America were on the southwest. We
were on the edge of the war with
Spain over the closing of the Missis
sippi, and under orders from Washing
ton, Wilkinson in command of Fort
Adams, held solemn conclave with the
Indians who owned the east bank OF
the big river, and by treaty establish
ed sacred postroad through theii
country.
1t left Nashville on the old Buffalo
trace, crossed the Tennessee at Col
bert's ferry below the Mussel shoals
and, striking the hills back of the Big
Black, came down to Natcbez and on
to New Orleans, with branch to the
Walnut hills. The road was more
than a military necessity, for so many
pirates infested the Mississippi tina
merchants returning from New Or
leans needed a safer route home with
their money.
After it was opened it became all
things to the southwest. Methodism
went down that way in the person OF
Tobias Gibson; later Lorenzo Dow fol
lowed him with the camp meeting
spirit. Old Hickory marched his army
down to Natchez over this route III
1913 and marched it back again next
spring. And from that day till nearly
our own it has been the great center
of that country's activity. Now the
railroads have come, the settlers have
moved down into the valleys and
opened up poorer roads in the beds Of
branches and through swampy low
lands. But the Trace is still there
upon its ridges, the best road of then
all.-Everybody's Magazine.

Courtshin In Siam.

A Siamese lover must announce his
first visit to his lady love four months
in advance, and when the day arrives
and he proposes the maiden must walt
decorously for two hours before giving
him her answer, although she surely
has decided before his arrival. What
would impetuous American lovers
think of such proceedings?

Quality of Steel Output.
GREED OF THE TRUST.
Manufacturers Sacrifice Quality

GREED OF THE TRUST.

Chicago, April 5.-The greed of the
steel trust and of other steel manufac-
turing corporations is being assigned by
railway engineering and operating ex-
perts as fruitful source of accidents
on American railways. Many of the
railway wrecks which are annually
bringing death and injury to thousands
and which are destroying millions of
dollars worth of property every twelve
months, in addition to bringing re-
proach upon the management of Ameri-
can railways, are caused, according to
the American society of civil engineers
by defective rails.
In fact, inferior and defective rails
are now recognized by the members Of
both organizations as among the gray
est dangers of the safe operation of rail-
roads The cause of defective rails
which is said to be growing greater ev-
cry year, is stated to be the desire of
the steel manufacturers to secure
economical operation and an enlarged
output. This desire has led to more
careless, inefficient and inexpensive
methods of manufacturing than for
merly.
The last alarm regarding the con
stantly increasing danger of the defec-
tive rail was sounded during the recent
convention of the American railway en-
cheering and maintenance of way as
ISOLATION, held here. With a view of
compelling the manufacturers to provide
safe and perfect rails the association
decided to make change in the STAN

New Chicago-st. Louis Line.

Chicago, April 5.-The Tribune
says:
The Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago
& St Louis railroad, the Big Four, 4"
is to have a direct Chicago-St. Louis
line. Preparations secretly have been
in progress several months. Plans
have now been completed, the surveys
have been made, and it is understood
the right of way has been purchased,
so that work will begin within few
weeks.
The new line is to be built from
DanviIle straight through to Indiana
Harbor, crossing the Indianapolis line
at st. Anne. BY taking this route the
Big Four will parallel the tracks of
the Eastern Illinois from Danv1lle to
Chicago. From Indiana Harbor the
road will use the tracks of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, entering
the Van Buren, street station in Chi
cago instead of the Illinois Central as
now.
The cutoff will be 125 miles long.
The road has no entrance into Chicago
except over the tracks of the Illinois
Central from Kankakee. With the
new route in operation the Big Four
will be able to compete successfully
with other roads, not alone on st.
Louis business but on the coal carry
ing from the fields in southern Illinois
around Cairo.
