CHIPS FROM A RABBINICAL
WORKSHOP.

satisfaction it brings to him of de-
voting considerable time to cultural
and scholarly pursuits. Removed some
what, by virtue of his calling, from
the material environment and tenden.
cies of the day, he may seclude him
self in his library to draw inspiration
from his studies. He peruses the works
of the great literary and spiritual
masters of the ages, resulting in GER
tain detachment from commonplace,
everyday routine. His very work as
a rabbi demands of him to give atten.
ton to self-culture in order to keep
abreast Of the progress Of the day.
Others may, but he must as the spirit.
ual guide immense himself almost
daily in cultural and scholarly endeav-
ors.
Pleasures and satisfactions such as
we have enumerated, and many more
might have been mentioned, are by
far more satisfying than those result
ing from material pursuits and fin
ancial success. We have noticed the
genuine satisfaction the rabbi derives
from his pulpit work where he realizes
that he is the messenger Of the Most
High; from his efforts with the chill
dren Of the religious school where he
transforms their lives to higher as.
pirations; from his activities as So
cial worker making of him benefi-
cent influence; from his services as
pastor where he gets into the hearts
of his people; from his position as
spokesman where he is esteemed as
one of importance; and lastly from
his scholarly pursuits deriving the
benefit of culture. These are certainly
worthy pleasures and satisfactions full
of meaning in the life of the spiritual
guide.
Surprising the rabbi cannot afford
to buy flashy diamonds for his wife
or daughter; supposing he cannot ov-
er feed or overdress his dear ones;
and supposing, furthermore, he cannot
always buy for himself an automobile.
So long as some Of his congregants
can afford to buy two, they will pre-
sent him with one; and so long as the
members Of his congregation are
blessed with worldly goods, he will be
safe financially.
After due allowances are made for
the unpleasant features Of his calling
the fact remains that the rabbi per-
haps more than any other is able to
live life of service and usefulness, Of
honor and esteem, and of spiritual and
cultural endeavor. At all times, he is
recognized as the representative man,
and as one of dignity and worth. II
those are not pleasures and satisfac-
tions making life meaningful and
worth while, then one fails to reali-
ize what are the real pleasures and
satisfactions Of life.

LETTERS ADDRESSED TO PRESI-

JEWISH DEPUTIES IN
THE POLISH DIET.
Continued from Page q

If on the one hand whole series
of physical violences are committed
against the Jews, the official and
semi-official organs commit all sorts
Of illegalities against them. The jew
ish railway employees are discharged
on the cynical pretext of their religion
and they are even refused the relief
which their discharged Christian COL
leagues receive. The Jews are sys-
tematically driven out of commerce
and industry by the withdrawal of
concessions which they have long held.
With rare exceptions they are exclud-
ed from all administrative and mum.
cipal offices. Contrary to the law on
assemblies they are forbidden to use
the Yiddish Language in their meet
Jews in particular. This agency de-
ceives public opinion and prepares the
way for pogroms. The Christian pop
ulation regards the official appeals as
a formality binding no one. Is it then
astonishing that the general notions
of right are not applied to the Jews
and that when a Jew is accused of a
crime, real or imaginary, an attack is
organized not only against the accus-
ed, but against the Jewish commune
ty? The Polish press increasingly stirs
up the crowd against the Jews. At the
same time the Jewish papers cannot
print news of abuses Of Jews without
exposing themselves to prosecutions.
Instead of the isolated pogrom of for
mer days, Poland restored is the the
atre Of an uninterrupted pogrom
which passes from one city to anoth-
er, from one house to another.
This exclusion Of the Jews from
the protection Of the law has a demon
alizing effect on the soldiers and on
the Christian population which, little
by little, loses the sense of right. The
logical result of this exclusion is dis
ings (Ziradof, Warsaw, etc. Despite
the press law, they are denied the
privilege of submitting matter for
censorship before publication in their
press (Lublin). Contrary to the law,
village councils adopt resolutions of
expulsion against the Jews. Without
any legal authorization, Jewish signs
are removed and Jews are forced to
observe Sunday. In Galicia, Jewish
doctors are sent away from the hos
pitfalls, ETC., etc.

Samoan PoIiteness Costly.

Conceptions of politeness run many
freakish gamuts but in the opinion Of
Lieut.. Com. Stanley NJ Mathes, visit
or in Honolulu, the palm goes to the
Samoans. When a man rendered his
Samoan servant pack of cigarettes
from which to extract smoke, Com
mander Mathes grinned broadly. "You
can't do that with all Samoans," said
he. "Their conception of the proper
thing to do is to take not one cigarette,
but to take FIVE" Frequently when
Samoan chiefs visit the naval officers
at Page Page they demonstrate how
polite they can be. For instance, when
a box of cigars is placed on table,
the guest takes as many as he can get
into one handful. When he is about
to depart he goes to the box and takes
another handful, token Of pOliteness.
And be 1t said for the Samoan that
when a visitor enters Samoan home
said visitor is gscsed to be lavish In
helping himself.

effects. The negroes and free peo-
pie who work in the plantations use
it by soaking in 1t bread made from
maize. When exposed to the air, this
fluid displays on it's surface, probably
by the absorption Of the atmospheric
oxygen, membranes of highly animal
nature, yellowish and thready, like
those of cheese. The people give the
name Of cheese to the curd which thus
separates when brought into contact
with the air. The milk itself, kept
in a small corked bottle, had deposit

SUPERSTITION AN OLD ONE
In All Ages the Belief In "Crystai
Gazing" Has Been More or Less
Strongly Held.

Crystal gazing, or "scrying," as writ.
ers on the subject term it. has been
practiced pretty well over the world
from ancient times to the present. In
early times they used to scry in springs
and bowls of water. In the British
museum there is crystal ball said
to have been used by DR.. Dee, a wizard
of the time Of Queen Bess. Cagliostro,
that sublime humbug Of the eighteenth
century, used to place pail of water
on the stage and request some child
to come out of the audience and gaze
into it. The child would babble Of
castles. pageants and other marvellous
pictures he could see in the clear
liquid. The society for psychical re-
search, certain of whose members, one
would almost conclude, are ready to
swallow whole superstition in any
shape. has done some crystal gazing
and at last accounts had glass balls
for sale at its headquarters in London.

lief that some people have the faculty
'Of seeing faces, places, persons in
motion in :: glass ball, In water. ink

been claimed for it by crystal gazing
enthusiasts. As a crystal ball is not
absolutely necessary. by all accounts.
and a glass pitcher Of water will do
just as well, almost anybody may make
experiments in scrying. The liquid first
turns black, 1t is claimed, then come
the pictures. Some Of us may feel that
it would require wait Of at least
hundred years before anything could
be seen.

HOW ROMANS GOT THE NEWS
to the Citizens Of the "capital
Of the World"

Caius julius Caesar knew the value
Of publicity. AS far back as when he
was consul eco B. CO. he ordered the
publication Of senate acts and discus
sions. These "Acta Senatus" were
published on a whitened wooden board
called album" the neuter of "albus,"
which meanswhite. In imperial days,
at least as early as % A. D., thereswas
an official publisher, "Curator Actor
um." This news corresponded to what
we get in our Congressional Record,
and cOntained-as our record once did
the Interruptions and the applause.
In 60 B. c., Caesar also ordered pub
lished Sin albo" the private news of
general interest, "Acta Diurna Populi
Romani."
The bulletin boards Of the modern
newspapers had their precursors in
these white tablets ordered to be dis
played publicly by Caesar. In New
York there are men who haunt the bull
letin boards Of the metropolitan dali
les, jot down the news displayed there
on, and later telegraph the items to
the dailies in small cities which do not
support so extensive news service as
that furnished by the United or the
Associated Press. So in Rome, the
writer of news letters or circulars cop
led the news published sin albO" and
sent the most important items to his
subscriber out Of the city. Scandal
was featured in "Acto Diurna," and

TIME TO SEEK YOUR TRAIN
Preliminary Windup Of Announcer
Should Be Signal for Intending
Traveller to Get Busy.

A train announcer is q much miSun-
derstood individual. His is indeed a
much-abused calling-of stations.
But those uncouth, uninteIligible, in
articulate mouthings which are his
wont when properly warmed up to his
work are, If yormust know, merely an
evidence Of your own abysmal igner-
ance, says Henry II. Craigie in Judge.
What he is really reciting through
his megaphOne, and which sounds to
your uneducated ear like a crOss-sec-
ton of buzzsaw and an asthmatic
monograph, is probably a poem from
the Sanskrit, or some delicate strophe
from the Syro-Chaldaic poets. 1t goes
something like this: .e
Observation-Disclosures"
but 1t is not his fault If you need an In
terpreter to tell you what he is saying.
Paraphrasing the immortal words of
contemporary think we may call
1t the RRR Of NG-"Your program is
Your Timetable" and about as useful
to you as a menu card q la Franchise
Is to q deaf mute with an intensive ap-
petite for ham and eggs. For your
timetable is really your key to the
cryptic utterances of the train an
nobody Is supposed to I'M
derstand either.
Under the hypnotic spell Of his
subtle eloquence you do not miss your
train-until it has pulled out, and
sometimes not then. If you are slight
Iy deaf it adds to your enjoyment Of
the occasion, or you can make game
of it, as some do, by utilizing an opera
glass in an effort at lip reading.
But if you are wise, at the first
sound of his preliminary windup you
will hunt ~ that train Of yours by
main foyte-and the devil take the
hindm t. Delays are dangerous.

Concordia Parish Votes
on 100000 Road Bonds

Natchez, Miss, March 2o.-The pc.

astic highway mass meeting which
had been addressed by Duncan Buie,
Louisiana state highway engineer
that proposal to issue 100000 il
good roads bonds would be submitted
to vote of the people of the parish
Oh May 8.

very same purpose, with rod and line.
Growing thirsty, he remembered that
he had left a bottle Of beer in the
