towns have suffered considerably. The

WHITEWAsHING COAL.
Not Done For the Sake of Neatness,
but to Prevent Thefts.

Not Done For the Sake of Neatness,
but to Prevent Thefts.
Persons who have. been somewhat
astonished by having whitewashed
coal delivered to them win be inter
ested TO know that the embarrassing
is not done to improve the appearance
or to increase the burning qualities.
The treatment neither improves nor
harms the fuel.
1t is a detective scheme on the part
of the railroads to locate and to pre-
vent theft of the coal as it is hauled
from the mines to the consumer.
These depredations amount to thou
sands of tons annually. and the rail-
roads are the sufferers. as it is up TO
them to deliver as many tons at their
destination. often a thousand miles
away. as were weighed in when the
car was turned over for transportation.
Two or three tons may be removed
from a carload containing. forty tons
without attracting attention to its de-
creased quantity until the car is again
placed on the scales. To locate the
loss, says Popular Mechanics, limewa-
ter is sprayed over q carload Of coal.
In a short time the water has evapo-
rated, leaving a load of white coal.
Then removal of any coal leaves q big
black spot, which is quickly noticed by
inspectors and station agents and the
leak found and stopped.

THE JEWISH SABBATH.
Ets Influence on the Habits of the Hs-
brew Children.

Its Influence on the Habits of the Hs-
brew Children.
The Hebrew Sabbath, including its
complicated preparations, is rich and
impressive material for a child's imagi-
nation. On Thursday evening the
mother already prepares dough, goes
to market, cleans the fish, ETC., says
the American Hebrew.
In the morning comes the baking Of
''chales'' DREAD. How bewitch hing for
q child to watch the mother making
different shapes of dough, smearing it
with egg and decorating it with braids
of different shapes and forms. A Jew
ish child gets the first lesson in model
ing by making make believe "chales."
In the evening the mother prepares
to meet the Sabbath. The child par
takes in the household occupations
and therefore gets habits of industry,
order and regard for the rights and
ideas of others and the fundamental
habit of subordinating his activities to
the general interest of the household.
This is especially true in regard to
Jewish households where everything
seems to be prescribed by law. Before
darkness sets in on Friday the house
wife lights in the dining room extra
candles or special lamp in honor of
Sabbath and reads the blessing. -
Quite often a child not yet able to
talk viii cover it's face with its little
palms, initiating the gestures of the
devoted mother. The returning from
the synagogue, the appreciatiFe gkeet
ing Good Sabbath, sfbe Kiddusl Do
blessing aver wine, the specials snehu
and the holiday spirit efsi h6S pdrss
ticipate have undoubtedlyA soothing,
beneficent influence upon fhe child.
After supper the time is spent in rest

THOSE ESKIMO MURDERERS.
Explorer Rasmussen Defends the No
torious East Greenlanders.

torious East Greenlanders.
Knud Rasmussen. the Danish sci
enlist. who supports DR.. Cooks claim
as to the discovery of the north pole,
has written u book on life among the
Eskimos which has established his
reputation as an authority.
Rasmussen tells some weird stories
about the horrible murders practiced
by these Eskimos In their earlier days,
but in summing up their general char
acteristics he adds:
Il have never in the course of my
travels lived with more cheerful, more
amiable and good humored people than
these east Greenlanders, who. had they
lived in a civilized state, would have
paid the penalty of the law for most
horrible MURDERS
And again, speaking of the Eskimos
as a whole. he says:
"There is no people with a history
which, as regards the bitterness OF its
struggle for existence and the eeriness
Of its memories, can be compared with
the best of the Eskimos. Yes, they are
good natured and filed with desire
for peace in spite of ALL But do not
forget that they are, first and fore
most, men. and men formed by the ma
ture surrounding them. The mind OF
the Eskimo can be quiet and serene,
but it can be savage and remorseless
as the ocean ITSELF"
