A Brave Race

1t is universally acknowledged that
no drawer race on grounds of conscience
ever lived than the Hebrews. But there
has been a tendency to qualify the praise
given to such high qualities by intimar-
ing that the Hebrews lacked physical
courage, physical prowess, forgetting the
great records representatives of the race
have made in AL forms of athletics from
pugulism to archery. And forgotten so
soon, too, apparently by many is the gal
liant bearing of many wealthy Jews who
were aboard the il -fated Titanic. They
stood aside with as knightly bearing
aud as glorious self abnegation as did any
of the men whose names are now shining
in the annals OF heroism as models of
courage and unseifshness. Lawrence
Telegram.
Any one who thinks of the Jew as lack
ing physical courage would better spend
a little time reading the Books of the
Maccabees, or at least in glancing at the
18th chapter of the Letter to the Hebrews
in the New Tes tamert.

Population in Terms Of Water.

According t. W. J. MCGEE, the pos
sible population of our country ought
to be measured not according to the
amount of land We possess, but, &C
cording to the amount of water-in
other words, according to the amount
of rainfall By his estimate, the coun-
try can comfortably support one per
son to five acre-feet of water Zone foot
of water spread over five acres sur
face). Now the annual rainfall of
mainland United States-the sole or
iginal source of our fresh waters is
barely 5000 100000 acre-feet; it av-
erages hardly two and One-half feet
(thirty inches) over our 2,000,000,000
acres. So our greatest possible popu-
lation, measured by our highest stand
ards of primary production, would not
exceed 1000, COCOA number which
at the current rate of increase will be
reached in three centuries, or when
the span since the landing at James
town is doubled-World's Work.

Box Was Fastened,

Lieutenant John Corrigan had the

side of d. Sommers & Co.'S store roped
off Sunday, because he feared the
wind would blow big, heavy box off
a scaffold that had been left by paint
ers Saturday evening, three stories
up the side of the structure. The
box, evidently a tool chest, was more
than half way over the edge of the
scaffold, and the lieutenant thanked
fortune he had seen it before the wind

SPRING LOCK MADE TROUBLE
Exceedingly Uncomfortable Hour
Passed by Housewife Acciden-
tally Barred Out of House.

A door key is a nuisance, but so is
a spring lock! Ask any man who
keeps late hours, and is at times for
getful in his habits.
Even housewives have had reason
to agree with this opinion.
One morning a woman followed
her husband to the front steps and
the door slammed when the night
lock was on and the key was inside,
and her husband had caught the car.
She was canning pears and had
put them on the stove to cook while
she was getting breakfast. They
were still cooking and would soon
be burning. The baby was crying
for his breakfast. She could not get
in. None of the neighbors could get
in. Somebody telephoned to her
husband, and perhaps it was not
more than an hour before he got
home with his key. An hour is
long time, and the pears and the
baby were in a terrible state. 1t
would have been better if there had
been a burglar in the house. He
could have turned out the gas and
have fed the baby, and he might
have opened the door.
A good, old-fashioned latch string,
always out, would relieve us of so
much responsibility and would be
ever 20 much safer.

TRIBUTES TO HUMAN VANITY
Craze for Titles Seemingly as Strong
Today as in Any Period
of History.

Dom Pedro H., who lost the
throne of Brazil in 1889, was the
last monarch to offer titles for sale.
In order to obtain funds for the erec-
ton of hospital in Rio de Janeiro,
the emperor announced that he
would confer the title of ''baron" on
every subscriber of 100000 milreis,
and the title of count" on every
subscriber of 100000 milreis. Many
proved willing to become ennobled
on these terms, and sufficient money
was forthcoming to endow the hospi-
tai as well as build II. Over the
main entrance may still be seen the
inscription suggested by Dom Pc
dro, Human Vanity to Human
Misery"
Although French titles of nobility
were abolished at the time of the
revolution by decree that was re-
vlved in 1871, yet the ministry or
justice issues certificates of nobility.
Members of the French diplomatic
service who use titles have to obtain
one of these certificates and pay
stiffly for the transaction. The fees
in the case of a duke amount to
$4,000, a marquis pays $4,000, a
viscount $1,400, baron $500, and a
chevalier $3.50.
The certificate is to the effect that,
the pedigree of the holder having
been Investigated, his claim to the
title he bears has been fully estab-
lished, and the seal of the republic
is affixed to this patent of nobility.
