Where Church and Circus Meet.

"On one point at least the church
and the circus touch common ground {"
said clerk in the naturalization bu-
reau. Each member of a circus per-
formers family and each member Of
a country preachers family claims a
different birthplace. Very often fam
lilies consisting Of grown-up brothers
apply for citizenship. In most cases
they are poor people whose parents
certainly could not afford to be globe
trotters. and all the children were
born In the same village or town. But
once in a while meet three or four
or maybe i've or six brothers each of
whom has first seen the light In a
different place. In a case OF that kind
my first question is:
Parents in the circus?
Usually they were II not, I guess
again.
Church, I ask, and that time I
hit IT. Funny. isn't It, that OF all in.
situations only the church and the cir

by an owner who, having an eye for
things old and curious, had the walls
stripped, surprising discoveries were
made. It was found that all Eve were
really parts Of one old Tudor house.
Behind the whitewash and plaster
and common wall paper were brought
to light beautiful carving and panel

were found to be OF oak heavily stud

spelled destruction, and In the course
Of the work the removal Of q quantity
Of plaster led to the discovery of an
unexpected lancet window of the thir-
teenth century, which had been
blocked up for many generations.
The splays were well preserved,
and the discoverers were rewarded
not only by finding the arch OF the
lancet beautifully decorated with stars
and roses, all IN excellent preserva-
ton, but by the revealing on one of
the splays Of a noble figure Of q monk.

the brandy and liquors were the prod

Parmentier's final proof to his skep-
teal fellow countrymen that potatoes
were not poison, as they persisted in
believing. Louis XVI. himself was
one of Parmentier's earliest converts.
granted him land on which to grow
his plants and did not disdain to wear
the rotato flower a. a buttonhole.
Then Parmentier cleverly posted
guards round his potato fields by day
and withdrew them by night, so that
people were tempted to come then,
steal, eat and be convinced. The all
potato banquet was the climax of the
great campaign.

Melody on the Earp,

you can have them at your will by
getting up early on the farm and list
ening to the songs of the birds and
all the signs and sounds OF natures
resurrection. You can hear the chick.
ems. the cows and the hogs-the neigh.
ing horses as the farmer comes with
their feed. You can hear the voices
at the lot-as the boys or the hired
hands draw water for the stock and
make ready for the day. Then, as the
first long golden lance of light strikes
down across the silent fields, you can
see all the life and hustle OF another
opening day. And all of 1t is sweet.
and bringeth peace and joy-as we
find out sometimes when we have left
1t and pine for it again.-Sylcania

PRIDE OF AMSTERDAM JEWS
Synagogue In That City, Built by
Refugees, 10 Easily the Finest
In the World.

In the midst Of the Jewish quarter
stands the pride OF Amsterdam Jews,
the grandest synagogue in the world.
II In great" in everything, In its size,
Its proportion, its age and its tradi-
lions. There is no synagogue like it
anywhere, and while 1t stands there
cannot be anything like It.
The great temple in the Rue de la
Victoire in Paris may perhaps be
larger. the splendid synagogue in the
neutrality-suspicious. in Berlin may
be more ornate, but the Portuguese
synagogue in Amsterdam has a glory
all its own. Its majestic columns, it's
solid oak, its noble ark and its lovely
windows all speak eloquently of the
type OF Jew that sought the hospitali-
ty OF Holland when the cruel and
short-sighted policy Of the Spain Of
those days drove the pioneers Of the
community into the hardy little north
ern country.
The history of the congregation is
not, however. one unbroken record Of
peace and glory. Curiously enough,
Its early members, free themselves at
last from persecution, seemed at
times to make up for the persecution
they had endured by their own in
ternal intercommunal intolerance.
Their treatment. OF Uriel Acosta is
a most painful chapter in their local
history, and their attitude toward
Baruch Spinoza was an error for
which no compensation can ever be
made. To the visitor to the syna-
gogue is still shown the seat which
Spinoza is supposed to have occupied,
but the tradition is probably apochry-
phal.-Jewish Chronicle.
