The Chicago Tribune July
6 had very much to say in its
bewilderment. 1t told the
truth and every word of it is
in behalf of the black Jew.
Itzchok:
A few men turned to the
Jewish encycopedia and there
they found a verihcation of
the story of David Ben Itz-
chok that he is a Jew and is a
member of small tribe of
Jews, all black like himself,
who dwell in the heart of
Abyssinia and swear al
legiance to King Menelik.
Colony ofBiaek Jews
According to the Jewish en-
cyclopedia, the members of
this colony are known as
IF Falashas," which in the Lam
guage of Abyssinia means
emigrants. According to tra-
dition, these Jews emigrated
from Jerusalem under the
leadership of the first Meme
liK, who was son of Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba. For
a long time these emigrants
dwelt on the coast of the Red
Sea, withdrawing later into
the interior of the country.
There they applied them
sslves to the making of pot
terry.
Another tradition, accord
ing to the Jewish encyclo-
pedia, declares that these
black Jews of abyssinia to be
descendents of Shalmaneser
or of Jews driven from Judea
when Jerusalem was destroy
ed in the time of Titus and
Vespasian. More recent his
tory shows that the Abyssinian
Jews migrated from Palestine
at different time and under
different oriental conquerors
of the land.
All authorities, however,
agree that the IF alashas" in
Abyssinia are Jews who have
remained true to their reli-
gion, despite intermixture
with their Ethiopian neigh
bors.

James A. McNeill Whistler as founded many people by the egotism he frequently displayed in his con versation, but those who knew the artist best realized that many of his conceitcd remarks were inspired by a love of mischief rather than by vanity. Here is an example:

 "Indced!" Whistler replied calm ly. ''1hen nature is looking up."

Polo is of eastern origin and has been favorite pastime in Persia, Tartary and the frontiers of India from prehistoric times. The name of the game varies with the district, and the rules are not the same op minor points, though they are sub stantially alike on the main issues. China and Japan also have a game closely resembling the Persian sport.

Servian Army Drums.

A curious custom connected with the Servian army is the manner in which mos, of the regiments carry the big drum. It is not, as in most countries, slung in front of the man who plays it. but is placed upon a small two wheeled cart drawn by a large dog. which has been so trained that it keeps its place even through the longest and most 'tediouss marches. The drummer takes up position behind the cart and per- forms on the instrument as it moves along.-I.ondon Answers.

STOPPING A sNEEzE.
Why Pressure Upon Either Lip Will
 Halt the Noisy Spasm.


 When the feeling comes over us which always precedes sneeze all we have to do is to lay our finger across the upper lip, directly be- heath the nose, and press firmly upon the lip for few seconds. The same result can be obtained by lay ing the finger across the lower lip, just above the chin, and pressing rather firmly for few moments. Either of these acts will not at tract the attention of any person, and in almost every instance the person will be saved the annoyance of disturbing the entire audience.
 The physiological reason for this seemingly curious interference in nature is quite interesting, although but few stop to reason why in this as in many other things.
 The internal surface of the nasal passages is covered by a very deli late and sensitive mucous mem branc. The surface is quite exten- sive, following as it does all the inequalities produced by the curved spongy bones of the nose. Only in the upper portion is the seat of smell, as that part only receives branches from the first pair of cranial nerves or the nerve known as the olfactory nerve, which is the one of smell. The distribution of this nerve in the form of an in- tricate network is upon the two up per spongy bones.
 The olfactory nerve itself does not issue from the skull, but rests upon thin facial bone which separates it from the cavity of the nose, and the many branches which proceed from it pass through this ! bone by means of numerous small openings. The many nerves which ramify over the lower portions of the delicate nasal membranes and which cndow it with scnsibility to touch and pain are branches of what is known as the fifth par of ; nerves.
 An irritation from several causes ] applied to the parts where this nerve is distributed occasions snccz- ing, which is a spasmodic contrac- ton of the diaphragm, which re- suits in the expulsion of the irritat- ing cause. The pressure described above simply arrests the irritation, and the sensation dies without the outburst of air which produces the unpleasant sound. It is like arrest ing current of electricity by cross ed wires or some outside influence.
 There are times when this meth cd does not work, but they are rare and generally due to the fact that the pressure is not applied soon 1 enough. Nearly every one has a warning of several moments that he is about to sneeze. If the pres sure is instantly applied the sneeze is generally supprcssed; otherwise it may be too late.
 This does not mean that every snceze should be suppressed. Only do this when in church or theatcr or some such place. To snccze aside from the snceze caused by cold is notural and affords il relief to the nasal passages from dust.--Cleve- : land Plain Dealer.

A corresponding advance in rates to other points is contemplated. The Sacramento hearing will de ermiDe whether the rosds can make the sd- vance.
