Self-indulgence (and all intemper-
ance is self-indulgence) is innate
weakness. It is the mark of the child
rather thar of the man. It rules with
undisputed sway in the lower orders
Of society, where men obey their own
impulses as first law. 1t is among such
that hate is more common than love,
suspicion more common than frank
ness, deceit more common than honesty.
and crime more common than unself-
ish helpfulness. The person whose
chief inclination is to indulge self
shows himself thereby to be allied. to
the degree of his indulgence, with
all that Is weak and low and unworthy
in human nature.

The average person needs an infu-
sion of strength. He is inclined TO
weakness. His temptation is to be d
part of a congIomerate crowd. when
he should be an independent, in ftvid-
ual personality. Instead of standing
cut, in sun-crowned manliness. against
ignoble tendencies, he becomes a crav-
en- follower of them. 1t is easier To be
good-natured and conplaisant than to
be right and peculiar. Yet whoever
would quit himself like a man must be
strong; for strength is the supreme seal
of manhood.

JEWS IN ANCIENT BRITAIN.
Though England Is Astounded by
Russia, Such Doing Were Once
Enacted in That Country.

England is showing much indig
nation over the Russian treat
ment of the Jews, but it is only a
matter Of 700 years since that
country was on the side of the Of
tenders. In 1875 the first Ed
ward, being shocked at the con
nivance of his father in granting
the privileges of Christian natives
to the Jews" not only deprived
them of all the rights of citizen
ship, but also ordered that they
should wear badges on their upper
garments by way of distinction"
He seems, however, to have been
against illegal violence from the
first; for when 200 Jews were
hanged in London for clipping the
coin, it is pleasant to read that
this was only after a fair trial had
been given them, and that several
Christians, their accOmplices, suf-
fered with them. 1t was the arch
bishop of Canterbury who, in the
year 1885, "Ordered all the Jews
synagOgues to be destroyed in the
city of London" This was paving
the way for the ordinance by
which, in 1899, all Jews were ban
ished from England, 'they having
rendered themselves infinitely
OdiOus to the whole nation by their
usury and extOrtiOn." They were
allowed only ''such sums as were
necessary to defray the expense
of their voyage to the continent
the rest being c~Onfscated by the
king. Edward |. again showed his
sense of justice even in doing this
act of injustice, for when "many
of these unhappy wretches in their
passage were murdered by the
mariners, through the hopes Of
finding treasure concealed about
them, the king severely punished
the assassins on their return t.
England" In some ways medei
val England was ahead of modern
Russia. To show the futility Of
all ordinances protesting to b.
forever" the Jews were recalled
in 1854 by Cromwell, he "being in
huenced by a desire of improyin,

OLD RICHMOND BELLHoUsE
One of the Most Interesting Land
marks in Dominion Capital Said
to Be Near Destruction.

A writer in the Richmond
(W. Va.) News-Leader makes a
strong and telling protest against
the proposed demolition of the
old "Bell house," in the capitol
grounds. This is one of the most
interesting landmarks in the cap.
ital of the old dominion. In 1890
the directors of public buildings
in Virginia were authorized to
purchase at the public expense u
fit and sufficient bell for the use of
the capitol" This bell, tits under
stood, was hung in a small, I'M
painted building, subsequently
abandoned, that stood immediate
ly in front of the portico of the
capitol. The present structure
was built about 1925. It's histor.
zeal associations are principally
those of the civil war period. From
1861 to 1865 it sounded frequent
alarms, summoning the rallying
hosts of soldiers, citizens, old men
and boys to the appointed rendez
v0us. On what was once knownin
Richmond as "Pawnee Sunday
the clangOr of the bell scattered
the worshipers at the various
churches and its peals ringing out
an urgent call to citizens to assem-
bic and repel an attack from the
federal gunbOat Pawnee. 1t would
be a pity to destroy this relic. Vir-
ginia can easily preserve it, BY
training ivy over the structure, as
has been suggested, the old bell
house could be given a picturesque
appearance. Those who desire ii
TO be pulled down say that it pre-.
sents an unsightly appearance and
mars the beauty of the capitol
grounds. Some Of the ruins Of
greatest historic interest in Eng.
land could never stand the beauty
test which it is proposed to apply
to the bell house in Richmond. II
Boston had such a landmark no
body in the Massachusetts city
would have the courage to suggest
that it be destroyed because it was
not in keeping with a modernizcC
state house.

"LOst and stolen dogs give the

he said, 80 many persons who
have pet dogs think about as
much of them as they do of their

more than natural that they
should become upset and anxious

finally thought she would like to

was informed that such a search
would necessitate the swearing

came the pet. The dog was
hardly in a condition to be recog

that had caused so great a change
in its appearance had not caused
the pet any loss of memory, and
when his mistress had recognized
him a warm reception followed.
Dogs" the policeman c0nclud.

many respects. Complaints come
from all sections about the noise

Duke Lionel Plantagenet, son of
Edward III. of England, at Milan,
Italy. The wedding dinner con.
sisted of Is courses as follows:
First course, sucking pigs
