HEBREW BOYS "sTRlkE.
They Were Being Trained at a jew.
ish Seminary.

In no wise funny strike" is that
OF the Hebrew boys who are being
trained to become rabbis, cantors,
etc., at the Jewish seminary on Henry
street, Manhattan. They have their
education free, to be sure, and are
besides clothed at the expense of the
seminary and get IS a week. But
at the expense of the seminary re-
quires the explanation that the insti-
tuition is supported by house to house
canvassing, and the peoples sub
scriptions are given in behalf of SER
vice Of which they are to reap the
benefit. So these young Hebrews, I'M
derstanding the case perfectly. object
to being taught so much Hebrew.
when what they need for useful ser
vice is English, and because the sem
mary authorities won't give more in
struction in English they are dissat-
isfed. All the ninety boys have sign
ed petition for what they want. Yet
in the face of this the authorities give
out that six students make all the
trouble. If six boys can lead eighty
four other boys as they please, then
these are the pupils to cultivate
they must be very promising youths.
And they have plainly clear idea
OF American citizenship.

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on mar
gin of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar of sales Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
ton with the packer doing an inter
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen-
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city, and the preparation of
meats is simple in the extreme, local
slaughtering will long remain a fac
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions.

WHEN THE HEART RESTS.
1t Gets Great Deal of Rest During
SLEEPING Hours,

1t has been said that the heart new
er rests. But that-as an anatomist
pointed QUITS a fallacy. 1.-The heart"
he said, "gets great deal of rest
during sleep. for it's beats are far less
numerous it to say, there is a
longer period between each. 1t has
no longer to support all the activities
of the body, but merely to keep the
life in the frame. AS for the brain.
during sleep it becomes pale and
shrinks, the heart no longer having
to supply it with blood to anything
like the same extent as in its waking
hours. Sleep, in fact, means very
complete reduction of all the vital
processes. Even the tear glands get
rest. This is why we rub our eyes
on waking. 1t is in order to stimu-
late the glands to furnish moisture for
the eyes, which have become dry as
result of the inaction of the tear
fountains
