FOOD THAT is FORBIDDEN

No race possesses so many laws re-
lating 20 the consumption OF food az
do the Jews. Shakespeare make Shy
lock say. Il viii buy with you. sell
with you, walk with you, and 80 fol-
lowing; but / will not eat with you.
drink with you, nor pray with you"
and the trait Of being very particular
as 70 what food they eat is still char
acteristic OF the present-day Jews.
The large number OF these Mosaic
laws with regard to the eating Of food
Is somewhat unconventional and dis
concerting TO modern Hebrews, but
more than 90 per cent. OF the Children
OF Israel still striRgently adhere 70 all
the dietary laws that Moses ever
made.
Animals not slain by a ritual
slaughterer. called a shochat, must
not be eaten by Jews; neither are
animals without parted hoofs or
cloven feet, or who do not chew the
cud. consumed as food by Jews. The
pig is not eaten by them because
IL does not conform with all the above
essentials
Only fish with scales and fms are
permitted to be eaten according TO
the Law Of Moses. Hence oysters.
crabs. shrimps and Holsters are not
eaten by Jews.
1t is very peculiar to note that a
Jew must not partake OF milk or any
thing possessing the essence Of milk
until four hours have elapsed after
eating meat or anything connected
with meat. e., meat pies, sausages,
etc. This law, as written in the Old
Testament, is very different, for EIo-
dus xiii, 10, says: Thou shalt not
seethe a kid in his mothers milk"
but the Jewish tradition has ordained
that the mixing Of meat and milk
should be prohibited
Only a very few birds, amongst
which is the dove, are allowed for
Jewish food.
Eminent modern physicians have
corroborated the boast Of the Jews
that they are very healthy because OF
their dietary laws, but it seems very
strange to other people that a whole
race should abhor good old bacon and
ham.

Ashbourne church, in Derbyshire,
ons Of the most beautiful in England
and visited by thousands OF tourists
every year, after withstanding the
wear and tear of centuries, is pro-
nounced by architectural experts to
be in danger of collapsing. This
church, known as "the Pride of the
Peak" has many interesting associa-
tions. Boswell and Johnson have
worshipped there, the former describ-
ed It as "one of the largest and most
luminous churches that l have seen

young man, or even a word of expla-
nation, he seized his hat and coat ana
left the room. Foray was a keen-wit-
ted officer, he reviewed the situation
briefly, and presently a great light
dawned upon him. A certain admira-
ton for Thorne developed in his
breast, and as Allison opportunely
came back at this iuncture, he turned
over the telegraph Office to his subor-
dinate, and in his turn went out on
what he believed to be an exceedingly
important errand.
Thorne found the streets full of peo-
pie. He had not marked the beginning
of the caunonading in the tumult of
the office, but the lights, the bells
pealing alarms from every church
steeple, the trampling of horses and
men, and the roll Of the gun-carriages
apprised him of what was toward.
Trusting that Thorne had been able to
carry out his part. Grant was attack
ing the place indicated by "Plan 8" in
heavy force.
What was Thorne to do? Obviously
attempt to escape from Richmond, al
though it would be a matter of ex-
treme difficulty on account Of the
alarm which now aroused every sec
tion. He could not go, either until he
had seen his brother He surmised
that he was dead, but he could not
know that; and he determined not to
attempt to leave without making as
surance double sure. 1t was duty he
owed to his brother to his father in
the Union army, and to his superiors
in the federal secret service. If that
brother were alive, he must be at the
Varney house. He fancied that he
would run as little chance Of being OBJ
served in the excitement going in that
direction as in any other, and he start
ed to make his way there.
The fact that Edith was there innu-
enced him also. Was the call of love
and the living as great, or greater
than the call of duty and the dying or
the dead? Who shall say?
And the remote chance that he
might be observed on the way was ta-
ken by his ever-vigilant enemy; for
Arrelsford, upon obtaining his free
dom, had sent the troops at the dis
posal OF the secret service to hunt |
him down, and one of them caught
sight of him. The shout of the OBJ
server apprised him Of his discovery.
He threw one glance behind him and
hen ran for his life. He had no es-
pecial hope Of escaping, but he might
ret to the Varney house ahead OF the
soldiers, and he might see his broth

TAUGHT HIM VALUE OF TIME
Customer of Benjamin Franklin Given
Object Lesson by the Eminent
Philosopher.

Benjamin Franklin sagely said:
"Dost thou love life? Then do not
squander time, for that is the stuff
life is made Oft" Franklin not only
understood the value Of time, but
put price upon it that made others
appreciate its worth.
A man came in one day and picked
up book that he wished to purchase.
The price that the clerk asked was
not satisfactory He insisted on see
ing the proprietor.
Mr.. FIranklin hurried from the rear
of the store at the clerks sum-
mons.
What Is the lowest price you can
take for this book, sir?" asked the Gus
toner leisurely.
"one dollar and a quarter" was
the terse reply.
"One dollar and quarter? Why,
your clerk asked me only dollar Just
now"

1t is said that two men were once
travelling companions on railway
trai- entering Russia. One was an
Englishman; the second was none
other than Karl Baedeker. Each was
a stranger to the other. They had
talker for four long hours over a
wide range of topics, when the Eng

WIFE WAS A POOR KIssER

Andrew Smith, a wealthy farmer of
Leland Greek township, Ohio, in a pc
tition, alleges he has not been kissed
In II years and that his wife received
too many postcards from other men.
Mrs. Smith admitted that she prob
ably had not been as free with osou-
latory marks of affection as when she
was first married, and acknowledged
receiving the cards, but said that a
printed message did not mean any
thing" She said Smith had treated
her cruelty and added, "but like him

SHAVING WITHOUT A RAZOR

In Jamaica, the negroes, some Of
whom are great dandies in their way
make a soap out of cocoanut oil and
homemade lye; and a fine soap it is,
smooth and fragrant. This cocoanut-
oil soap is used for shaving. When a
man wishes to shave in the morning
he starts out with his cocoanut-shell
cup and his donkey-tail brush and
bottle. He goes to a convenient pool
in the mountain stream, where the
water is still, and there is his mirror.
He breaks his bottle on a stone. and
picks out good sharp piece. Then
he fathers his face profusely and be-
gins to scrape away with his piece
of glass, which works almost as well
as a sharp razor.

THREE FEET ON ONE LEG

A two-year-old heifer with three
perfectly formed feet on the left fore
leg was a freak discovered at a pack
ing plant at Fort Worth, Tex, by DR..
Louis Newberg, inspector Of the
United States bureau of animal indus
try. The heifer was sold to the pack
ing company in an ordinary shipment
of cattle. The deformity was not dis
covered until the animal was slaugh-
tered. The three clustered feet were
perfect in detail.
