THE BEIGHT SIDE.
THE HAPPY FACULTY OF LOOKING
ON THE BEST SIDE OF LIFE.
Too Many People Allow TheraselTes to Be
Weighed Down by the Dally Cares of
Life That 3Cnat Bo 2Iet and Fail to See
the rieaaant Things Near By.
Everything has at least a good side to
it, and sooner or later some one will be
able to seo it. It is a happy fortune to
be ablo easily to see what is good, though
I do not believe in shutting our eyes to
the evil. I have a friend who never sees
the evil until, it overwhelms her. She
considers nil things to bo well enough at
least and so has no foresight to ward off
disaster. This is certainly a curious dis
position and not a good one for those
who have the care of families. What I
do mean is that it is a capital thing to
seo tho good that really is in all things.
I said to my neighbor, who is deaf in
ono car, "It is a pity, my dear; is there
no remedy?" I don't think there is,"
she said, "but then there is a great bless
ing in it, for I have learned to sleep with
my good ear to the pillow, and so no noise
can disturb me." It was a curious illus
tration of how one may use a depriva
tion and make it a real advantage. It is
a great art to find out all the good there
is in life. Emerson says, "Do not dilate
on your pnvato wrongs and personal
ills." But no ono ever becomes tedious
by dilating on her privileges and 3038,
The longer I livo tho more I find that
most of our troubles are imaginary.
There are half a dozen things wo have
to learn, and many never do learn them.
Ono of these is that wo have will power
to control a vast deal that wo sit down
underneath. Life has no blessing great
er tnan its antagonisms. Differ as
may from professional faith curists,
they have a great truth in store, and I
wish thoy may have vast influence in
reconstructing sentiment. There is no
need of being an extremist in belief, yet
it is a fact that wo have cultivated a
kind of moral cowardice about our dis
eases. I believe they are right that we
are vastly more powerful than wo have
supposed ourselves to be.
Bnt I am a broader believer than they,
for I am confident we cannot only cry
"down and out to half our physical
ails, but to a large proportion of our
troubles and what we call our bothers.
And that is just the meaning of life it
is a series of defeats or of victories over
small affairs. The habit of making
much of petty evils indicates defeat

opposite way lightens them.
Life everywhere has a better side to it
than we are always willing to confess or
ablo often to see. Our choicest gifts and
blessings lie just the other side of our
saddest moments. It seems like moun
tain climbing to get a view of a sunrise,
but wo aro willing to toil hard to get to
tho mountain top. It pays not only at
tho top, but all the way up. I have a

the lovely brook at the bottom, and the
pebbly island in that brook, and the old
moss covered beech logs, and the banks
of "creeping hemlock." It pays. Every
step pays. I come back full of rest, not
of weariness, of joys that sparkle and
run like the brook itself. Last summer

If we live widely and think nobly and
study what the world is, we find that
the cheapest and roughest conceals grand
facts that make character and joy for us.
The world is a ready spread feast for our
senses and intellect. But there are races
that will not eat eggs, and there are
others that will not use milk. So there
is a possibility of not seeing the best

harmonies. The best question one can
ask of herself is: Are j-ou getting tho
best of the world about you? I have
heard the narrowest kind of men preach
ing on the parable of the prodigal son,
not knowing that they were themselves
feeding on husks the poorest husks of
thought and manhood.
I suppose, in fact, there is a good side
to everything, only I am not able to see
it on the occasion. The best effect of
studying history is to teach us to look
back at events some time after their oc
currence, when we are almost surely
struck by the real advantage that comes
out of what at the time seemed totally
evil. There is no qustion but that Amer
ican character has been made stronger
by the great fight with and victory over
slavery. There is just as much good ac
cumulating from the fact that intemper
ance is so hard an evil to eradicate. Har
riet Martin eau says, "The greatest ad
vantage of long life at least to those
who know how and wherefore to live
is the opportunity which it gives of see
ing moral experiments worked out, of
being present at the fruiting of social
causes and of thus gaining a kind of
wisdom which in ordinary cases seems
reserved for a future life." This is fairly
what any one may reap from life, that
apparent evil is or may be made to be
come good. Mary E. Spencer in St.

the arrival of a physician. For little
children there are camphor pellets suffi

of these pellets is said to be an excellent

Why Jews Are Universal'; Unpopular All
Orerthe Earth They Are Too Selfish,
Too Grasping, Too Regardless of the
Feelings of Others.
The auditorium of the Hebrew insti
tute at East Broadway and Jefferson
street was crowded last evening with
Hebrews, who listened intently to a
lecture by Professor Felix Adler on
"Anti-Semitism," in which he endeav
ored to make clear why the Hebrews are
opposed and persecuted as are no other
raco on the face of the earth. He said
in substance:
"I spent a winter in Germany and
made a special study of the anomalous
movement against thajewsin a coun
try which ia credited with being inthe
front rank of nineteenth century civili
zation. The movement is called anti
Semitic, which is a sugar coated name.
The men who are in it do not hesitate to
apply tho most horrible epithets to the
Jews and charge them with all that is
eviL
"Tho movement against the Jews is
stronger in Germany than in this coun
try, but it ia growing here every day,
and there are reasons given for it, some
of which, however, aro not tenable. It
is claimed that the Jews will not amal
gamate with any other race, and fault is
found that their blood is pure. But this
is not true. It can readily be. shown
from history that tho Jews have com
mingled with many races in a very large
degree, and there aro very few Jews of
pure blood anywhere. The plea that the
Jews are an inalienable race like the
Chinese, as has been claimed, will not
stand the test of investigation. German
history and tho history of other nations
disprove this. On almost every page of
German lustory is found tho name of
somo Jew distinguished in pontics,
science, art, medicine and finance.
"The prominent position taken by
Jews shows that even in Germany they
are not opposed to the spirit of progress.
The Jews behove that the hatred which
has been cultivated against them for
many years in Germanj' can be wiped
out in a decado by the enactment of laws
tending to destroy discrimination against
them.
"They deceive themselves with the be
lief that high sounding terms in consti
tutions and newspapers mean that the
spirit of true liberty is in the hearts of
the people. The hatred of the Jew will
not be removed by the declaration that
'all men are created freo and equal.'
"The Jews aro hated abroad also be
cause or what is termed nationalism,
which opposed every man and measure
not to the manner born. There have been
two extremes in nationalism in Ger
many. At tho end of the last century
there was no sucli feeling. There was a
cosmopolitan spirit at every hand. Then
came a sudden change,.when. a barrier
was set up against everything foreign.
The Franco-PruBsian war was fought to
mako nationalism stronger in Germany,
and that country today is persecuting
the Jew because of tho fear that the love
of country and hatred of everything for
eign aro dying out. Germany is afraid
of her own people.
"I did not find a trace of anti-Semitic
feeling in England. This is because
England is conscious of its own strength
and power and does not fear any nation
or race. In Russia much of the opposi
tion by the people and officials is due to
jealousy. Princes and potentates who
have only empty titles are left waiting
in tho antechamber while J ewish bankers
are welcomed into tho royal presence.
"1 am proud to know that the work
ingmen of this country and Germany
are not aa a class anti-Semitic, because
they knowthat Jevs-havo espoused their
cause. La Salle, a Jew, made organized
labor possible in Germany. Anti-Semitism
is tho socialism of stupid men only.
"In this country tho opposition to tho
Jew is not on account of his race or re
ligion, as there is no country on the face
of God's eartli where tho freedom to
worship according to the dictates of con
science is so respected. Jews aro oppos
ed here principally from social reasons,
and in keeping with that unrest which
is tending to the improvement of the
world in everything. It cannot be de
nied that Jews are despised and con
demned iu this country, and there must
be a reason for it.
"When 1 am injured, what should I
do? Should I return like for like? No.
That is tho reasoning of the ancients. I
should inquire if there is not a cause in
me that led to the injury. As Jews we
aro bound to ask ourselves what it is
that makes the anti-Semitic feeling in
the United States.
"A few ignorant persons may find
fault with the Jew becauso of his reli
gion, but the great evil is that Jews have
made themselves unpopular because of
their habits. They lack reserve, modesty
of behavior, talk loudly in public places,
grab for tho best of everything among
others, by tho lack of good manners do
not consider the rights of others and ren
der themselves obnoxious in other ways.
Jews havo many admirable qualities.
They are temperate, domestic, virtuous
and law abiding, but tho evil that they
do makes the greatest impression. It is
tho 'loudness' of Jews that makes them
disliked, and thero is often good ground
for the complaint.
"It is said that Jews are a menace to
American institutions. Thero will be a
reform movement to take politics out of
the hands of politicians and turn the
city's affairs over to men who do not ,
make a living out of it, who will give
the city what is needed in tho way of j
improvements. Now, if the Russian
Jews will join the reform party, cast
20,000 votes for good government, they
will show that they are good citizens
and prove that they are in favor of the
republic
"Jews must cultivate self respect, not
pride, by the study of Jewish literature
and history and show that they are
proud of the title of gentleman. Then
ihey will bo welcomed everywhere as
Aorthy members of society." New

I cm often reminded of how unwisely
some wives spend money when shopping,
but never moro vividly than tho other
day when I watched a family in a Sixth
avenue storo. The occasion was impor
tant, that was easy to see, for ovetf the
father had left his work to take part in
the selections. Tho mother, with a baby
in her arms, was poorly dressed and
with little attention to details. She
wore no gloves, her shoes were slipshod
and her choker unfastened. The father
led a small boy who was rather gayly
attired, but the chief object was a girl
of 12 or 14 whom they were fitting out.
They had been on the second floor, as
appeared in the new dress and new jack
et, a very light, delicate affair in the
height of fashion, which was bound to
show wear very soon unless kept far
moro carefully than there was any like
lihood of its being. Now they were try
ing on a bit white leghorn hat turned up
in the back with a ribbon bow. The
brim was edged with lace, while two
large white plumes ornamented the
crown.
Never once during tho interval of in
decision did tho mother glanco toward
the array of black or brown straws.
Lizzie must have a big white hat, and of
course the saleswoman was only too glad
to show the expensive models. Tho
father seemed proud of tho new "rig,"
and from his soiled and greasy pocket
book gladly paid the money for the ia
appropriate hat just selected. The looker
on could not but imagine its condition a
few weeks hence, when, bedraggled and
soiled, it would look so mean. In fact,
there were quite a number of interested,
spectators slyly watching the scene,

Seeing tho Boautifal.
Franklin tells a story of a man whose
two legs were very unlike one hand
somely turned, the other deformed.
When any one who visited him looked at
the ugly leg and commented on it, he
held the man to be looking for the bad
side of things and folk. Bet if the vis
itor saw his handsome limb and com
mented on its beauty he held tho fellow
to be worth esteem, for he looked at the
good sido of things and probably would
see the best in his neighbors and friends.

When Carlylo and Emerson walked

"Tho moro I see of the English people

Every official in Washington just now
i3 besieged b'y people in quest of office,
and the treasury department has prob
ably more than its share of them. Offi
cials know how it is themselves, how
ever, and their good nature is almost su
perhuman. Among the extra well bal
anced one3 is Logan Carlisle, chief clerk
of the treasury, and to him came a youth
from Indiana, who wanted to know
about a place that he had in view.
'It's this way," said tho young man
aftersomo talk. "I'm like the young man
who had his leg i.ut off by alocomotive.''
"How's that?" inquired Logan.
'Tm in need of immediate attention.
"Oh, in that case," laughed Logan,
"you'd better go to tho Emergency hos

"Well," exclaimed the youth, making
a low bow, "here 1 am. And .Logan
agreed on tho spot to attend to his needs

Mrs. Stanford's Jewels.
Apropos of jewels, the handsomest in
Washington is the collection owned by
Mrs. Leland Stanford, wife of the mil
lionaire senator from California. Her
diamonds are second only in value to the
Russian and English crown jewels. They
are of all tints one pink, another yel
low, one blue, besides the pure white
stones, and the aggregate value is esti
mated as being over $2,000,000. In
Mrs. Stanford's safe of steel, with time
proof burglar locks, which, as she sel
dom wears her jewels, is kept at a eafo
deposit company, are 50 diamond rings,
each worth about 500. Sho cares for
no other stones, so there are only dia
monds in her collection. Washington

Artificial noses aro now made of alu
minium, and they are so perfectly shaped,
colored and adjusted as to defy detec
tion. The aluminium is first covered
with some light cloth muslin generally
and is then painted, and the color
of the skin is so closely adhered to that
it is impossible to tell which is tho false
nose and which the true until you pull
it. The materials formerly used for this
purpose were vulcanite, wax, celluloid,
wood and porcelain, but for many rea
sons aluminium is the superior of them
all, it being lighter as well as stronger.
Aluminium ears have become quito as
fashionable as aluminium noses. ,
Thero are more of these false noses and
ears on the street than ono would sup
pose until one deliberately looks into the
subject. Scores of people wear these de
ceptive noses and ears, and so artistically
are they made that it is impossible to
tell the false with the naked eye. NIhave
said that the best way to tell a real nose
from the false member is to give it a
jerk. Yet I must admit that if one were
to go about jerking the noses of friends
or strangers just to detect the false noses
life might be made decidedly unpleasant
for that one. Chicago Tribune.
Feiiistent English Women.
The two English ladies, Mrs. Lewis
and Mrs. Gibson, who have distiii-
' guished themselves by tho discovery of
a Syrian text of the four gospels, aro
both oriental" scholars, speaking Arabian
and modern Greek fluently. They were
both deeply interested in the discovery
of tho fragment of 'the gospel of St. Peter
found in an Egyptian tomb and studied
tho art of photographing handwritings
with Rendels Harris of Cambridge. The
convent at Mount Sinai has been
searched and researched for such treas
ures. Professor Harris himself was there
three years ago, but it has been lef t to
Mrs. Lewis to find the precious manu
script, which, when she first saw it, was
in a "dreadful condition." But by the
exertion of that most excellent womanly
gift of patience she has managed to
separate the leaves and to photograph
the whole, which consists of COO or 400
pages. The lost text, it must be remem
bered, is covered by more modern writ
ing, but after a month's work the Syrian
text has been brought out. Mount Sinai
has never before seen three Syrian schol
ars at work at tho same time within its
walls, and, what is more unusual still
from a monastic point of view, working
under tho presidency of a woman. Ex

If you travel in "sleepers," fortify
yourself against tho modern fungus
tho woman who absorbs tho toilet room.
Put comb, brush, toothbrush, hand mir
ror, bnttonhook, hairpins, whisk broom,
towel, soap, powder, cold cream and a
small bottlo of rosewater, one-third of
it glycerin, in your hand satchel, along
with your wrapper. The rosewater and
glycerin will keep your skin fresh and
clean, and in your berth you may make
a presentable toilet before venturing to
the toilet room perchance to find it bar
ricaded by thi3 "awful woman."
Silks are so cheap and negligees so
easily made at home or to be had at the
shops that every woman should possess
a wash or india silk wrapper, or a
French flannel jacket. The silk takes up
little space in the satchel,, and when the
journey is ended it serves for the bed
room. In your berth remove your dress skirt
and bodice, corset and. shoes, loosen
your garters and the bands of your un
derclothing anji slip on tho wrapper or
jacket, and comfort is yours, while .in '
case of accident or emergency you will
"not bo unpresentable. It is never safe
to remove the underclothing and don a
nightdress in a sleeping car. St. Louis

A Clnb For Ballet Girls.
We have tho very greatest pleasure in
supporting the appeal made by a num
ber of ladies and gentlemen interested in
a club for ballet girls. Hitherto the
folklore of the theater assumes that the
ladies of the ballet are given to haunt
tho clubs of perilous pleasure alone, and
as is so often the case with popular be
liefs the notion is absolutely and sinful
ly wrong. The dancers at the variety
theaters are generally hardworking and
intelligent girls, and the club, which has
already met with some success, provides
them with a shelter and a place of
amusement between rehearsal and the
evening performance. As many of them
livo in the suburbs, tho need for such an
institution is obvious. Pall Mall Bud

Now that the season approaches for
the usual stampede to tho country it
may not be amiss to remind parents
that watering placo life is no "rest" to
children. Cannot they be persuaded to
take them into the "real country," where
pigs and chickens run, and ducks and
geese swim, and wild flowers bloom, and
grass can be stepped upon, and dirt am
be dug in, and tho great question of dry
goods can be ignored? Why doom them,
with their nurses, to ono end of tho
piazza allotted "to children," or to a
stiff walk on graveled paths where they
are constantly told "not to make a
muss?" For pity's sake, give them six
weeks' reprieve, if possible, from city
restrictions. Now York Ledger.
Yankee Sententloasness SaTlng- Salt.
In our opinion sententiousness is rare
ly effective without a considerable dash
of humor. How much more telling Em
erson's sententiousness was than that of
most of hi3 contemporaries (Goethe, for
example, or Carlyle), just becauso Emer
son was seldom sententious without a
smile, while Carlyle was most senten
tious when he was least humorous. A
Yankee, indeed, seldom gives advice
without a little irony pointed to himself
for giving it, but Germans and English
men are sententious in grim earnest and
aro very apt to be quite as self important
as they are earnest. Very few of the so
called wise sayings of Goethe and Car
lyle are free from this fault of ponder
osity. London Spectator.
Steam Vessel First Used as a Transport.
There is a curious fact that may have
been overlooked that troops withdrawn
from Canada upon the close of the
American war of 1812-15 for the purpose
of joining the army intended to crush
Napoleon after his return from Elba
were transported down the St. Lawrence
by a Canadian steamer. This was prob
ably the first occasion on which a steam
vessel was .used for purposes of military
transport. Toronto News.
