A Creed for Readers.

1. I believe that reading is the moral

the testimony Of the saying current
in all ages: tell me what company you
keep and I will tell you what you
are. Is va
2. believe that the. intellectual
temperament is formed, as is that OF
the body, by the kind Of food, with
which it is supplied. s,. -
3. believe it, is, impossible fol
even the strongest character always .
to resist light reading. Constant drop
ping wears away the hardest stone.
4. believe that "a bad book. is "a
corrupted and corrupting friend. ps

5. believe that the (sxclusivel
reading OF. novels relieves character Of

would suddenly appear. to us, they
would terrify US by their great num-

II. believe that If books could
talk they would reveal astounding
things about the apostolate Of per-.

should not read evil books, that buy

Jewish Town.
A letter from London to the New
York Sun says: . =,
Dispatches from Jerusalem tell Of
remarkable strides made during the
last few years in the repeopling of
Palestine with Jews. The proclamation
iof the constitution in Turkey threw
open the doors of Palestine and led to an
enormous influx of Jewish ~colonists,
who are already settled on some of the
best lands of the country. 80. So
In Jerusalem alone four-fifths of the
population now belongs to the Jewish
faith. Large tracts of land around
Lake Tiberias have been bought up
from poor. 4atives and converted into
prosperous farms. The Plain of sha-
ron, between Jafra and LYDIA, is ono
vast garden, owned and tended by
Jewish skill and labor. The Hauran,
one of the most fertile. wheat districts
in the world, is being: sold to Jewish
syndicates: -, Z g.
/ Almost the whole of the extensive
Plain of Esdraelon has been bought
up by Jews: Their prosperous colonies
spread from Dan to Beersheba, and
even. further south to the outskirts of
Egypt. Thousands are escaping from
Persia to find shelter and protection
in. the Holy Land, while every ship
from Odessa carries some of them. 49,

Though the house Of lords is over
whelmingly Anglican in it's religious
complexion, there are many Jews, Ro-
sects in it. 60
There are few peers who can go
back more than a generation without
finding very humble ancestry. AL
most half of them have American
blood in their veins, and this number
is steadily and rapidly increasing. And
there is. one peer-Baron Fairfax of
Cameron-Who is an American by
birth and ancestry for four or five
generations and a resident of New
York city and Virginia. There is an
other-the Earl of Newburgh-who is
an italian, with the famil y name Of
Giustiniani-Bandini, while the Duke
of Cumberland is as German as the
Kaiser. But these are anomalies ac-
cidents of birth and cited here only as
curiosities.
From these facts, which might be
multiplied tenfold, it may be gathered
that the house of lords is not by any
means an unrepresentative body. The
| London Times remarked editorially a
few days ago: 1.-THE plain truth is
| that this reviled and despised house of
lords number 1mong it's =. members
more men who have won world wide
| eminence by their own actual achieve
ments than any other legislative body
that exists in any country or ever did
exist"
But it is not an ideal legislative
body-its warmest supporters admit
this; whichever way the election turns
it is sure to be reformed before. long,
probably by being reduced in size and
by making membership in it elective,
much as is now the case with the
peers of Scotland and Ireland, who
assemble and elect from among their
own number those who are to repre-
sent them in the house of lords.
The question now to the fore is
if the Liberals, who have only fair
working majority, with their allies, will
be able to carry out their program
against the upper house, and if they
are, will their action carry weight with
the people, who, after all, are the court
Of last resort. :S'

confronting anyone in need Of laxa'

ton only. but OF permanently bene'
fetal effects, which will follow proper
efforts to live in a healthful way, with
the assistance Of Syrup OF Figs and
Elixir of Sienna, whenever 1t is re-
quioed, as it cleanses the system
gently yet promptly. without irritation
and will therefore always have the
preference of all who wish the best OF
family laxatives.
The combination has the approval
of physicians because 1t is known to

given satisfaction to the millions OF
well.informed families who have used
1t for many years past.
To get its beneficial effects, always

II Is announced that a plea will be
made 10 Congress the coming session
for an appropriation 90 enable the
War Department To buy one or two
airships OF the Zeppelin type. At
least some OF the experts think the
dirigible OF the Zeppelin type has
demonstrated it's usefulness as n war
machine. while the aeroplane is still
I'm the experimental stage. II is
thought that the dirigible balloon
would be extremely useful not only
for scouting purposes but for carry
ing men and weapons.
Some difference OF opinion on the
relative merits of the dirigible and
the aeroplane will prevail, but there
should not be two opinions, an the
question OF providing an aerial corps
for the army. The American army
has been singularly backward i'm this
respect. The blame does not rest en-
tirely on Congress. outside of a few
enthusiasts in the army. officers have
shown little disposition To promote
efficiency in aerial training, or to un-
dertake aerial experimentation. The
progress i'm this direction in foreign
armies makes its imperative that this
branch of the modern military art
no longer be neglected.
