died out. They live separately, to this day
from the white Jews, as the latter do not re-
gard them as actual descendants of the Jew"
ish race As an. answer to this, the colored
Jews boast of their letters of freedom given by
the ancient king of India, and another one Of
King Tachandrackupta, who lived in the
time of Alexander the Great. They de not
call themselves "Jews, but "Sons Of Israeli"
and they maintain that thay are in possession
of a number of autograph prayer-books, writ
ten by the Patriarchs. They live in great
poverty, and are very ignorant, earning their
living by working in the field and by day
labor. Formerly they were oppressed by the
India Government; but now, under the Eng
lish rule, they are free and contented. In
the English army (snd few are with the
Malta contingent) they are noted for their
courage and bravery.-Jesoish World.


SENDING Com THROUGH THE MAILS
The Post Office Department has at last taken
important action in regard to the trans.
portation Of gold and silver through the
mails. A circular is now being prepared di-
recting postmasters to receive gold and silver
as third class mail matter for transportation
through the mails at the rate Of one cent an
ounce, the same as is charged for samples of
ores, metals, minerals, ETC. The circular will
also contain the important order allowing the
registration of third class matter, the fee to
be ten cents for each package. The weight
of packages is limited to four pounds. Thus
four pounds of gold coin, amounting to ST.
600, can be transported from San Francisco
to New York, or from any post Office in the
country to another, for sixty.four cents, with
the. privilege Of registering the same, if the
sender desires, for ten cents additional. Thus
shipper desires to send to New York or.
other city, ten thousand dollars in gold; he
has simply to put it in ten bags of one thou
sand dollars each, directing each bag. The
whole is then put together in safe. The
advantage Of registering is that every post
Office official through whose hands register.
ed package passes, has to give receipt for !
it, so it may be easily traced in case of acci-
dent or criminality. Some gold has already
been sent through the mails at letter postage
rate, namely: one cent for each half ounce,
or 1884 for each four pounds, or one thou
sand dollars. The circular goes into opera.
tion October l, and will make striking rev.
olution in the matter of transporting coin.


ROMANCE OF A Poor You've MANA
poor young clerk in San Francisco read a
beautiful and affecting story Of how another
young man similarly situated, was once ap-
piled to for aims by miserable old beggar,
and when he had given the beggar all he had,
the latter threw off his disguise and revealed
the kind youths rich uncle, who Immediately
fell on his neck and wept, and afterward left
him countless gold.


Our poor young man was much touched BY
this legend, so he quietly left the paper where
the senior partner, who was his rich old uncle,
could see it, and then laid in wait for beg
gar. The very next day one came into the
store, and as soon as he started on his sad
story the young man burst into tears, handed
the man all the money he possessed, - oroide
watch, and even pressed upon him another
clerks new ulster that was lying on the coun-
ter.


When the beggar was gone, the benevolent
young man turned to have his uncle, who was
watching the whole proceeding, fall upon his
neck. Instead Of this, however, the capital
ist fell upon his back, with great vigor. He
kicked the philanthropist out, with the harsh
remark that he didn't want any such blame
fool about his establishment And now the
disappointed victim of romance is carrying
clothing store sign around, and wondering.
what good it does these story writers to put
up jobs on mankind.


WAYS OF WASHING THE FAcE.-There
are several wrong ways of washing the face
and but one right. Towel, flannel, sponge,
are are all out of place where the face is con.
cerned. The hands only should be used.
Doctor Wilson's directions are: Gill your
basin about two-thirds full with fresh water,
dip your face in the water, and then your
hands. Soap your hands we'll, and pass the
soaped hands with gentle friction over the
whole face. Having performed this part of
the operation thoroughly, dip the face in the
water second time, and rinse it completely;
you may add very much to the luxury of the
latter part of the operation by having Sec
ond basin ready with fresh water to perform
a final rinse" But the care of the complex
ion requires that not only the face, but the
whole body shall be daily subjected to the
bath. The sponge bath is, perhaps, the best,
and the temperature of the water must be reg
ulated by the sensations Of the bather, and by
the season of the year. No one can deny the
charm of clear, soft color in the cheeks and
lips, and it must be an incorrigible complex
ion, indeed, that will not yield to the measures
that I have recommended.-C CasseWs Maga-
