Jerseys in the South.

| The Farmers Review having taken
| up recently the question Of pure breeds
for the South, wish to say along that
line that about one.flfth Of the Jerseys
are produced south Of the Texas fever
line. We find it advisable In the South
to produce most Of our own cattle.
Very few females are imported from
the North on account Of the danger
from Texas fever to those that come
into this region. We do, however, i'm
port males now and then. From this
locality great many dairy cattle are
being shipped to Mexico and few to
Cuba, Central and South America. The
possibilities Of expanding this trade
are not easily determined. The great
est obstacle is the refusal of che
American Jersey Cattle Club to regis
ter Jerseys in the countries named.
Cows that are shipped from here to
those countries do not have to be ac-
climated, as they have been exposed
to Texas fever and grew up under
those conditions. This, Of course,
would not be true of Jerseys shipped
from the northern part Of the United
States, where Texas fever is not prev.
alent. The cost Of shipping varies
greatly. do not know that l would
care to make any estimate on the cost
Of shipping cattle to different coun-
tries That would depend On what
part Of the country the cattle came
from and to what country they were to
CO. When we, in Texas, ship cattle 10
Mexico we figure about $40 per head
as the cost Of shipment. Most Of the
Jersey cows that we ship to Mexico
bring about $S5 cash on an Average

Is Grammar of UseP

From the Atlantic.
The subject in which the grammar school
(so-called) contrayenes most sharply the
law OF the order of learning Is, perhaps,
grammar. For grammar, being the analytic
and theoretical study of language does not
belong in the grammar school at all. The
scientific classification of phenomena can
not commence until the phenomena have
been assembled and made familiar. To
this law of learning language Is no excep-
ton. The language study proper to the
grammar school is observation and ac-
quaintance. that is. more particularly, prac-
tice In reading, speaking. composing. Nor
for this is the study OF grammar necessary.
What is necessary is a very large. amount
of practice; much reading, much speaking,
much composing. The only use of grammar
here is a negative one, namely, to correct
mistakes. And for this negative purpose
the only person In the grammar school who
need know grammar is the teacher. The
positive, scientific study of grammar must
be reserved for the high school,

COLONY OF CHINESE JEWS

For more than two thousand years there
has been colony OF Jews established at
Kaifengfu China The exact date of their
entrance into the country Is not known,
but 1t is supposed from a table found IN
their synagogues at that place that they
must have appeared there about 500 B. c.,
although 1t may have been aselate as %
A. D. 1t Is not until the third or fourth
century that they are mentioned In Chinese
annals, says the Cleveland Leader, when
their synagogue is referred to by a Chinese
writer as heaven spirit monastery.
Western Persia is given as their starting
point. by which Persia Is probably meant.

which are used by the Chinese Hebrews

brews from the year S7S. An Arabian
writer mentions them as one of the sects

extend them through the subtle alchemy OF
imagination? l know q man who has only
a fortnights vacation, but he gets more
out OF IL than almost any person OF my
acquaintance. He will begin as early as
march to consult maps and time tables 10
SEND Tor circulars of summer resorts TO
avail himself Of the information his friends
possess. By May he has about decided on
ms route, and even on his kour OF depart
ure, ana from that time on till the third
week IN august he dwells often In fancy
upon the delights of his prospective holt
days. We may not go to that extreme. but
we all might get more in anticipation from
little treats and outings In store for us For
the beauty of such expectations is that il
concerns itself chiefly with all the brfsbt
things In vacation, and should some of
our anticipations fail of realization we
would still have had the real pleasures OF

But the greatest antidote to this feeling
OF WEAKNESS and distaste for duty is a
stricter watch on self. Now is the time OF

mand more of ourselves, exact less from
others and so score victory.

The Soldiers Bishop.

From NJ. A. =.
Bishop Brindle who officiated at the re-
ceptiun of Princess Ena into the Roman
Catholic Church. had a most distinguished
career as an army chaplain in Egypt and
the Soudan. No chaplain was ever more
popular in the army with officers and men
OF all denominations. At Tel-el- kebfr. In
stead OF remaining with the ambulances. he
was with the Royal Irish Regiment In It's
charge over the intrenchments. He said he
wanted Ito be with his boys" where they
might most need him. In the khartoum
campaign. though he had right to a horse,
he would never ride. but tramped with his
men After his appointment to the see OF
Nottingham he was present at a reception
at Cardinal Vaughans house at Westmin-
ster. The room was crowded with officers
who had served in Egypt and had come TO
do honor to their old comrade. The bishop
wore on his purple soutane a long row of
orders and medals, the crescent of a Turkish
order hanging close to his episcopal cross OF
gold. DIR. Brindle laughed heartily when
OF his old friends OF the Soudan whis-
pered to him: You did not wear such fine
kit. my lord. when had my last chat with
you. You wore the khaki then"

Gentle literature subjected him to many
reproaches from the chief of the syna-
gogue. Father Ricci was able to test the
truth Of these statements, and dispatched
some Chinese Christian messengers to Kai-

soon received visits from other native He
brews
The condition of the Chinese Hebrews has
been declining very fast since that time. A
missionary in 1886 found them In an Inn
poyerished condition. They had been obliged
to tear down part Of their synagogue to
sell 1t. Finally, some thirty years later, a
society for the rescue of these people was
established. and In response to an urgent
invitation eight Chinese Hebrews left Kali
fengfu for Shanghai. They arrived in that
city In March, 1902. where they were cor
daily received by the Hebrew colony.
Questioned as to their observance of their
ancient religion. these Hebrews admitted
that their faith was rapidly declining. AT
present they do not observe any Of the ordi-
nances of the Hebrew religion, nor do they
observe the idolatrous practices of the

That Spring Feeling and Its Antidotes

The tired feeling which comes along with
the springtime is not mere creation of
the patent medicine advertisements. We
all know it too well through painful per-
sonal experience-that sense of lassitude
due to the coming of warmer weather. We
have been able to keep at our tasks through
the winter. but now the harness begins to
gall and it's a long time yet to the sum
mer vacation. Something of this feeling
OF depression and reaction must have been

OF the month OF March we need have no
difficulty In living through the rest Of the

that If we can keep faithful to duty and
kind in behavior from April to June inclu-
sive we can be reasonably certain that we
shall not go to pieces morally the rest of
the year. These three months are indeed
testing time. Even ministers find 1t hard
