Name Street Town or City Stale THE PERSECUTED JEW Ilo In It la Claimed the Most Spiritual Man Alive The Jew is said to have what is knowu as the commercial instinct said Oscar S Straus Hume tells us that under Richard I 500 Tews sought safety in the castle of York where not being strong enough for defense they killed their wives and children threw the bodies over the walls into the mob below and setting Are to the castle were themselves burned alive The gentry owing money to the Jews has tened to the cathedral where their bonds or promissory notes were kept and made a bonfire beforethe altar The compiler of the Annals of Waver ley in relating the event Hume says blesses the Almighty for thus deliver ing over this impious race to destruc tion History blazes with such stories of self sacrifice and barbarity The commercial instinct In this particular case appears to have been on the other side Instead of the Jew being a natural barterer he is the most spiritual man alive ne has been pounded through the ages robbed and massacred but he yields neither his traditions nor his Ideals Had he been materialistic he would have sold out long ago and bought peace If he would join the Greek church he would be safe in Rus sia Rather than do that he will Avalk into the jaws of hell Therefore I say that he Is spiritualistic or idealistic rather than practical or material Were I to choose a family that would live I would have it meet hardships and per secutions Were I to choose one to die I would give it pleasure and luxury The Jew denied his civil rights de spoiled of his property scourged and murdered has only been made tougher and longer lived His enemies have given him strength and trained him most admirably for the battle of life no matter in what part of the world

never refer to your advancing years or say at my age To preserve youth you must have a variety of experience The country woman at forty although breathing a purer air and living on a more health ful diet than the city woman often looks fifty while the latter at the same age does not look more than thir ty But her mind is more active than that of her country sister that is the secret of her more youthful appear ance Nothing else ages one more rapidly than monotony a dead level existence without change of scene or experience The mind must be kept fresh or It will age and the body cannot be younger than the mind Few minds are strong enough to overcome the aging influence of the monotonous life which rules in the average country home City people have infinitely greater variety of life They enjoy themselves a great deal more than country people They work hard when at work but when they are through they drop everything and have a good time There is no doubt that the theater in spite of its many evils has done a great deal toward erasing the marks of age People who laugh much retain their youth longer Suc cess Overreached Old Joe a farmer was noted for the many ways he had of skimping and saving One day he hired a big country boy to help him with his work The boy reported for duty at 530 oclock in the morning and Old Joe sat him down to breakfast After the lad had finished the meal the sharp old farmer said What do you say if we eat dinner while we are at it As the boy agreed they fell to and ate a little more Then seeing that the youngster could eat no more Old Joe suggested Suppose we finish up and eat supper too All right assented the lad and he man aged to swallow another crust of bread Now lets get to work shouted the gleeful farmer thinking of the saving In meals he had made No returned the boy I never work after supper A mans time is his own then Lon don Times The Forjretful Saurian A colored preacher took some candi dates for immersion down to a river

Judge Magoon Is both governor of the canal zone and minis ter of the United States to the republic of Panama In both capacities he is much relied on to carry out the policy of President Roosevelt and

AUGUST WILHELM The Fourth Son of the Strenuous Ruler of Germany Prince August Wilhelm fourth son of Emperor William of Germany who is likely to come to this country to study is now about midway

Queer Mnrlne Phenom enon Upon a ShlpH Speed One of the tnost curious marine phe nomena known to seamen Is that call ed by Norwegian sailors dead water which without any visible cause makes a vessel lose her speed and re fuse to answer her helm The sailors only definite knowledge of its origin Is that it exists solely where there Is a surface layer of fresh water resting upon the salt waters of the sea Sev eral explanations have been advanced by the captains of ships of the effect of dead water the commonest of which is that the two water layers move in dif ferent directions The true explana tion however recently offered by Swe dish navigators and verified by mathe matical calculation and direct experi ment is that In addition to the resist ance waves at the surface the vessel creates a second line of subaqueous waves between the two strata of wa ter The experiment carried out to dem onstrate the truth of this theory was an exceedingly pretty one A large plate glass tank was first mounted on a wooden frame The tank was then filled to a certain depth with salt wa ter and a layer of fresh water was carefully poured on to the surface so that two separate water layers were obtained The salt water was blackened with liquid Chinese ink before the water layers were prepared and in this way the different layers were made clearly visible A boat model was then towed along the tank and a silhouette of the waves produced was obtained by plac ing a white screen at a short distance behind thetank The waves were also photographed by flashlight and the re sults showed conclusively that waves actually were set up at the boundary line between the two liquids Further experiments were made to verify the sudden loss of speed due to dead water The boat model was drawn across the tank and the towing string suddenly slackened when the boat was about halfway across In cases where the tank contained salt water only the boat stopped gradually moving some boat lengths after the towing string had been slackened When the tank contained a layer of fresh water resting on salt water on the other hand the boat slackened speed quite suddenly and moved only a very short distance These experiments carried out on a small scale prove conclusively that the difficulties encountered within a dead water zone are really due to the re sistance experienced by the vessel In generating Invisible waves at the fresh water salt water boundary although in so e particular cases the influence of in LTcurrents must also doubtless be takoii into account New York Herald POINTED PARAGRAPHS
