GERMAN AND BRITISH INCOMES

An interesting comparison between
Great Britain and Germany as invest
ors outside their own boundaries is
made by Edgar Speyer, the w%ellknown
London banker, in a letter to the
Statist. Figures supplied to him by
Prof. Arndt Of Frankfort-on-Maln show
that in recent years Germany has been
making large investments abroad and
that in a comparatively short time
81, 500, 000, 900 of German money has
been invested in foreign securities and
industries. Germany's annual income
from this enormous investment is be-
tween $780, 00, 600 and 1876, 000, 900.
Adding to this the sum she receives
from her shipping commissions, insur.
ance and other sources, her total year
ly income from foreign investments is
$780, 900. 900.

WONDERFUL HISTORY OF JEWS

The history of the Jews is perhaps
stranger than that of any other nation
In the world. The jewellers in a little
mountain city, with their divine reve.
lation and sacred temple and holy
worship of God, to-day are conspicuous
In the world, say the Philadelphia
Ledger. Still racial hatred pours out
their life-blood. Their ancient tradi-
tons peopled this earth with angels,
but in Russia they met with men who
are almost devils. The widening out
of Judaism in ancient days is shown
In the fact that naturally exclusive
Jews named their children after Alex
ander the Great, and every nation
with whom they have come in contact
is represented in their first names
Chaldee, Greek, Latin and German APP
pellations are found among them.
Rome, the ancient London of the
world. had its collection of all ma
tionalities and religions, and here
Horace notices the Jews, satire l, tx,
SO, and Juvenal, satire XIV. They
intermarried with Greeks, but the
Roman ever feared their rebelllous
spirit, sis he stroye to put his iron
heel on the necks of the noble race

whose intense courage had anciently
shone out in the Maccabees. The
unity of God and the thunders of
Sinai's law v e sounded in their ears
in heather lands. The customs of
Moses kept the nation peculiar, while
the old men dreamed dreams and the
young men saw visions of the glory
of the coming Messiah to eclipse the
splendors of the reigns of David and
Solomon. Isaac Taylor speaks of the
Jews as holding human nature as in a
mold, and God made them a chosen
and separate people for a special pur-
pose to show his name to the heather,
and yet to keep the line between
themselves and the heather idolators.
Now the mold is breaking. Still the
old Egyptian bondage casts it's shad-
ow over them, and a murmur rises
troy dying throats like that in the will
derness.
AS Taylor Lewis shows in Lang's
Commentary on the 10th chapter of
Genesis, the Jew had a world idea,"
in Messianic promise, which "Grecian
culture and Roman conquest lacked"

families of the earth be blessed

DR.. Charles F. Roberts, leprosy ex-
pert of the city health department,
that leprosy is such a feebly contag-
ious disease as to require other condi-
tions than mere proximity to COM
municate it. Consequently, in so far
as their physical condition permits,
the city's lepers are free to wander
about the hospital grounds of the
island o n >fair days in summer when
they feel the need of fresh air ana
a little exercise. According to their
nurse, although they have never done
so, the lepers would not be restricted
by their disease from visiting the
city proper, since leprosy Is not
counted contagious.

Big BOBCATS ARE TERRORs

Hunters and woodsmen reported a
great increase of bobcats in the woods
These animals a few years ago were
met rarely, but are now numerous in
some parts of the state. They are
getting big and savage, too, says the
Washington Post.
The cats are reported in the great
est numbers down In Washington
county. Places have been found where
they have pulled down deer, and this
gives the hunters cause for concern.
The Maine bobcat travels under a
variety of names. The old hunters
speak of the animal as the "lucivee"
~(loupcervier) others call it the lynx,
while the term bobcat is most COM
monty applied.
An adult bobcat is a grayish colored
animal, with long legs, the round head
characteristic of the cat family, small
ears and stubby tail. An average bob
cat will stand eighteen inches high,
though it may not appear to be so
tall because of It's crouching gait, and
will weigh about thirty pounds. The
teeth are those of the other members
of the cat tribe-long, sharp and set
in powerful jaws. The ordinary bob

The natives of nearly all parts of

ants as a dish. On one occasion, while
camping on the banks of the Zougai
Livingstone was visited by a chief, and
as he was at dinner at the time he
gave him a piece of bread and some
preserved %apricots. The chief seemed
to relish it very much, and Livingstone
asked him if he had anything equal to
that in his country. "Ah," said he,

Although a recent statement that

TWITCHING NERVES
a Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.

BY DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Sufferers from ailments that have af-
fiicted in regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
a rule, inclined to submit TO them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and a readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 408
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years l suffered from a trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, / thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. My trouble had then become SO
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. L OIten nau TO Walk Gne uOor IN
restlessness the whole night. After TAX
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and l ceased to use the remedy.
l evidently stopped a little too soon for
nervousness came back after a month or
so and / used the pills again for a short
time. Relief came at once and since I
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-
ton, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
weakness and the special ailments of girls
and women. For further information,

To convey the water from a strong
spring, a distance of 1000 feet, earth
en- tile might serve the purpose if
laid on a well-graded bed. The bed
should be so uniform in grade that
there are nc gaps in the joints. Then
the tile should be jointed carefully,
turning each tile around until it makes
as complete a joint as possible. In
addition, in order to prevent loss of
water, the tile should be sealed at
the joints either with puddled clay,
or, better, with cement. If there is
plenty of water in the spring such a
line of pipe would convey sufficient
for household purposes, although it
would be impossible to make such
pipe entirely water tight. To make
sure that all the water is conveyed it
would be necessary to lay iron pipe.
Ordinary black iron pipe, given a coat
of tar before being covered, will last
many years in the ground. Galyan-
lied iron pipe. however, will last
longer.
Two and a half inch tile, that is
ordinary drain tile, not sewer tile, can
be procured at tile yards at eight dol
lars per thousand. Quotations on
galvanized iron and black iron can
be secured from local dealers. The
galvanized iron is, OF course, mere ex-
pensive than the black iron.

that the animals are identical. The
Canadian lynx can readily be distin-
guished from the bobcat by the tufts

length on the tips of the ears. Besides
this the lynx is heavier built than it's
cousin, has heavier fur and is more
compact in build.
Ordinarily, a bobcat, like every 9TH
er animal found in the woods, will run
when confronted by a man, Like even
the meekest of the woods creatures,
however, the bobcat will turn when
sorely pressed, and when it does it is
a wicked customer for any man to
face.

and adverse criticism in his youth.

writer says: With that inhexible
will and singleness of purpose that
never failed him throughout his ca
reer, the young sculptor set himself
to express in clay, marble or bronze
his conception of life and art. He
used his leisure in working at night
time, in a deserted stable he had
transformed into a studio, 1t his won
derful mask of The Man with the
Broken Nose After eighteen months
of hard and patient labor he finished

years to discover any merit in the
work, for it was rejected in 1864, and
finally accepted only in 1878"
