much Of the marrying that goes on be-
tween Jewish girls and men Of other

the average middle class Jewish youth

value upon himself, which does not
conduce to the establishment OF friend

INJURIES FORTY PEOPLE|
sToREHo4sE AND ENGINES DE- srRoyEo BY EXPLOSION OF
 A HALF TON OF DYNAMITE.

Pottsville, Pa. March.-By the tex- plosion of 1000 pounds of dynamite in the storehouse of the Richards coliery of the Susquehanna Coal Company near Mount Carmel Tuesday two score Of persons were injured, four of them, it is feared, fatally. The explosion caused damage to the extent of $150,- OOO. The dynamite house was about l25 feet from the office of the com pany. No one is known to have been in the house at the time of the explo- sion, and the cause of the explosion Is a mystery. The office building in which the clerks were at work, the supply house and the carpenter shops, all filled with workmen. were wrecked, most of the workmen being injured by flying splinters and several sus- tained fractured arms or legs.
 The large hoisting engines in two slopes of the mine were torn from their foundation and were almost com pletely wrecked. The explosion made hole in the ground fifty feet in q am eter and fifteen feet deep. Several hundred men and boys were thrown out of endowment.

Mrs. Jo;ie Robbins, O. 1121 Clar St. Decatur Ill, says: Il was weak, thin and troubled with headaches. My ish my food I was unable to do my work because my limbs pained me so and my feet were swollen. l got numb and dizzy, my tongue seemed at times to be paralyZed so that l couldn't speak distinctly. My extrem- ities, when in this numb state. felt as If some one was sticking needles into me all over their surface. Through my shoulders at times had such pain that I couldn't sleep. Many times awoke with a smothering sensation.
 When the physicians remedies failed to benefit me I began to look for something that would. My sister, Mrs. Mcdaniel, of Decatur, recom- mended Dr. Williams Pink Pills to me and I at once purchased some. l was greatly encouraged when saw how they acted on my nervous condi- tion and continued using them until cured. I am now able to attend to my duties and have not consulted a phys ician since.
 'I also gave them to my daughter who had always been weak and who at this time seemed to lack vitality. Her cheeks were colorless and she was thin and spiritless.

Newman and the directors of the New York Central Railroad, who were held by Coroner Swannecke for the Grand Jury to answer for the wreck of the Brewster express, in which twenty-three persons were kill ed, on February 16 did not appear before the coroner at the hour ap- pointed to give bail, although the cor oner had so ordered.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
 Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little girl treated by very prominent phy- sician for an obstinate case of ec- zema 1 resorted to the Cuticura Rem edies. and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afford ed that we discarded the physician s prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint- ment, and Cuticura Pills When we commenced with the Cuticura Reme- dies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence Of the trouble.
 Tn July of this year little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty four hours his hands and arms were Q mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and amounting them with the Cuticura Ointment. and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. h. about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the Gu ticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from doctor, Mrs. Liz zie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Wal den's Ridge, Tenn. Oct. 13, 1905"

PREACHER AND THE POET.
Writer specuIates on Shakespeare as
 Churchgoer.

Probably Shakespeare did his own thinking on questions of religion, said little, and conformed strictly to the ex- isting order. Still we question if he was a good churchgoer. The town and church of Stratford had decided bent toward Presbyterianism and there is reason to think that he did not get on well with it in this respect. Him. self the wisest of preachers, he does not seem to have been fond of preach
 ing. That which sounds most like it and very wise it is-comes from Polonius whom he calls "a prating old fool" We fear that when he walked to church with his wife he went no farther than the porch, but strolled along the Avon, where he was found by Susanna and Judith on "a grassy bank" in close converse with daisies pied and violets blue" and "herb-o'- grace" as became Sunday. And in winter he was not sorry when cough Ing drowned the parsons saw. The preacher and the poet have never got on well together, and will not until they are identically the same person, as Cardinal Newman says; and they must not divide and antagoniZe what God have joined together.-Theodore T. Munger in the February Atlantic.

PENMANSHiP A FINE ART,
yypewriting Has Not Driven Hand
 Work from the Field.

There~is a renaissance in penman. ship, despite the speedy comforts of the typewriters. Ten years ago it prob. ably would not have occurred to any one to show a page of manuscript at any exhibition; today pages or books of script-form a feature of every show which takes to itself the name of arts and crafts. Some of the work is in Roman capitals, but the form of letter usually adopted is the unciel or half unciel Apparently all the writers have founded themselves in these models. Within these last few years not only has the art attracted a good deal of attention, but it has become quite the rage, so that in some circles it creates no more surprise now to sons in script than it would have done some years back to be told that he or she had taken to poker work From one viewpoint 1t is difficult to say where writing ends and illustration begins, but though in the recent re- vival the two arts naturally have gone hand in hand, the scribe and the ilum- inator are not necessarily one and the same person. Some of the illumina- tions show most elaborate and minute figure decoration, so delicate in color ing and so refined in treatment that 1t challenges comparison with the best of old work.

The Real Ruler.

The duchess of Roxburghe, who was Miss May Goelet of New York, has taken up the prevalent craze to collect animals and she is building minia- ture zoo at Floors castle. In fact, the duchess, a masterful little lady, has everything she wants. One of the dukes tenants, wishing some conces- sion, went to the castle and told his errand to an old retainer, adding that he would like to see the master in person. "Eh, mon" retorted the aged servant, who is not entirely reconciled to the new order of affairs, there is only ae maister in this hoose thae times and that's no the duke. Ye should see the duchess"

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look enough alike to be twin brothers. They are about the same size and tbuild; earh has a heavy crop of hair. which is Kept closely trimmed, and their short stubby mustaches are much alike. Both have dark eyes and there is probably not two pounds difference in their respective weights. If it were not for the fact Nhat the Florida senator has a few more gray hairs in his head than his North Caro- lima colleague 1t would be almost i'm possible for the senate employees to tell them apart.
