Lorna Doone," practiced as a convey

Scott, speaking of himself and law,
said: There was no great love between
us, and 1T pleased heaven to decrease it
on further acquaintance. Most OF the
poets who have sprung from the legal
profession appear to have entertained
the same unfavorable view.
Cowper, who was a fellow pupil of
Lord Thurlow In an attorneys office,

The American Israeilte. probably hav-
ing In mind recently organized society
in New York, says: Art Is universal.
Art has neither nationality nor re-
ligion. What matters the religion of
the man who paints picture or COM
poses a piece OF music? There may be
some sense in an endeavor to help
Jewish artists, though those who
amount TO anything are usually well
able to take care of themselves, but
to speak of Jewish art is but a silly
