JEWS RIGHT TO LONG LIFE
Conditions Under Which They Were
Forced to Live In the Middle
Ages Partly Responsible.

OF two children born today under
precisely similar circumstances, one
Of Jewish parents, and one Of Chris
tian, the Jewish child has almost
twice as great an expectation of life
as its little Christian ncighbor.
This is the compensation the Jew
has wrcstcd from the horrors of the
Ghetto. Our gentle ancestors forced
the Jew to live under. conditions so
wrctchcd that only the utmost
tcnacitv could keep hold on life at
all; and tenacity of life is hcrcdi-
tary.
Without doubt, the Mosaic code
has played some part in this. The
orthodox Jew has never eaten en-
balmcd beef, nor cold-storagc chick
en-. He gets his meat fresh, and un-
der conditions which reduce the risk
of infections to the minimum. But
the main elements of Jewish long
cvity are inherent, hereditary; the
price OF persecution, the recompensc
for ages of suffering.

WATER POWER IN ICELAND.

There are many waterfalls in Ice.
land which arc we'll adapted to be
harncsscd, but the difficulty is that
most of them arc remote from tho
ccntcrs Of population. There are.
however, many which arc available
for the generation of power and
quite recently syndicate purchased
a large extent of ground in the
ncighborhood of Thorlakshavcr, as
well as several large waterfalls Stu:
atcd in the mountain regions in the
interior. 1t is stated that the 5Alls
will be able to furnish as much as
100000 horse power. The present
syndicate is to construct a good port
upon its ground and it will furnish
a supply of current to different in
dnstries which are situated in this
district. One of the newest cJtcr-
priscs will be the construction of
works for manufacturing nitrogen
ous products on tie Birkcland-T yde

WHY SILVER TARNlSHES,

Everybory is familiar with the
tendency of silverware to part with
its brilliance and become furnished
when exposed to ordinary atmos.
pheric influences, but not every one
knows that the cause of the tarnish-
ing is the action of sulphur in the
air. Unless frequently cleaned, the
ssurface of silver will become black
in the course of few months. The
best way to keep silver bright with
out the necessity of cleaning is said
to be to coat the surface with thin
solution of collodion varnish diluted
with spirits of wine. After being
applied with soft brush the spirit
evaporates, leaving thin, glossy,
transparent film on the polished sur
face. Warm water removes the
varnish. Tarnished silver may be
restored by careful rubbing with a
soft cloth wet with dilute solution of
potassium cyanide, one ounce to a
quart of water, followed by rinsing.

DEFECT Of CLEVER PEOPLE
Unusual Ability All Too Frequently
Develops Pronounced Phases
Of Esoisn1.

It is rather amusing after all, this
assumption of many otherwise clever
people, that each acquaintance they
chance to meet is virtually interest
ed in their affairs.
Whistler, the famous artist, was
probably one Of the most colossal
egotists who ever lived. The story
goes that an English comic paper
once published a cartoon represent
ing an imaginary conversation be-
tween Whistler and Oscar Wilde.
Now Wilde was also poseur and
a good deal Of an cgotist himself, SO
as soon as he saw the cartoon he
tclegraphed to Whistler:
"Ridiculous; when you and l are
together we never talk about any
thing except ourselves"
But Whistler as usual could go
him one better.
"You forget" he wired back ''that
when you and I are together we
never talk about anything except
me-"
We have all met people like this.
1t happens every day.
