The Hebrew Charities.

The report of the United Hebrew
Charities of New York shows that of
the applicants for relief in 1904 only
7,3 per cent. applied in 1905. The So
Ciety's main problem is that of the i'm
migrant. Native-born Jews continue
about per cent. of the total number
of families assisted. Last year $4,000
was distributed in cash relief. Of this
sum 2S.3 per cent. was given to widows
and orphans, 14.6 per cent. to deserted
women and 172 per cent. to consump-
tiveS-abOut 60 per cent of the total
of these three classes. In other words,
the problem is to care for the widow
the deserted and the sick and aged.

At next Monday nights meeting an
ordinance will be introduced by So
licitor Day to regulate the relaying
of pavements and sidewalks which
have been torn up or may be torn up to
allow the making or connections to
sewers.
At present there is no ordinance
governing the proposition. Contrac-
tors and plumbers are required to
take out a license before they can
make connection, and then only at
ter council has passed a resolution
granting the necessary consent. All
resolutions provide that the work be
done under the supervision of the city
engineer.
Although the city has three inspec-
tors hired they are unable to look
after the connections and see that they
are properly made and that the pave
ments are relaid and left in as good

How the Topaz is coIored.

The finding of blue topaz in Rho
desia is an interesting discovery. 1t
ia not. however, IS has been stated in
the papers. a new gem For although
the normal color Of the topaz is yell
low. a blue variety is by no means
uncommon. The Siberian stones, for
example, have a blush tinge, while
those from the Highlands of Scotland
are of a sky-ble color. The pink topaz
of the jeweler is probably always an
artificial product as regards its color.
In 1850 a Partisan jeweler, Dumelle,
discovered that the yellow Brazilian
topaz when moderately heated acquir
ed a rose-pink color. The stone is
wrapped in German tinder, which is
then ignited. The resulting burned
topaz" is sometimes known as Bra
lillian ruby" So the blue topaz is some
times known as Brazilian sapphire" "

condition as when taken up. Through
out the city there are many bad places
in the pavements caused by failure
on the part of plumbers and contrac=
tors to relay the bricks.
To remedy these conditions Solicit
tor Day will introduce an ordinance.
This ordinance was discussed Wednes-
day night at the conference of city
officials at the city hall. 1t will be
patterned after the ordinance now
operative in Columbus, where little
trouble is encountered to compel the
relaying of pavements and sidewalks.
The new ordinance will compel all
persons desiring to make connection
to sewer to deposit enough money
to pay for making the connection as far
as the property line. and the WORK
will be done by competent men en-
gagged by the city. No license fee will
probably be exacted, although this
point has not been definitely settled.

1.-THE Modern Hog was the subject
given to C. ". Berry of Emporia on
Tuesday afternoon before the Improved
Stock Breeders association, and he gave
the meeting something of a new insight
into the ham and bacon makers Mr.
Berry formerly lived at Berryton in
Shawnee county.
Mr.. Berry's paper was a conprehen-
sive history of the hog, including dis
cussion of the most marketable It was
one Of the pleasing features of the meet
ing.
Others scheduled on the program who
were to have followed Mr.. Berry were
not present and Thomas Potter of Pea
body, the president Of the association,
took occasion to give his supplemental
report"
In this Mr. Potter larFuped the last
Legislature for its apathy in regard to
giving the stockmen some needed legis-
latfon and the railway commissioners
for not fixing better rates for the haul
ing OF stock 1t was Mr.. Potter's plea
that the stoekmen should go to the
primaries, should work there and send
such men to the legislature as viii sub
serve their interests.
