The Ghetto thirs {seems mainly relieved by lemons; a !least, every "Greener" who can find ino immediate trade starts life by sell ing "vine lemons, dree a penny," ir the Lane. i There is nothing depressing, extern | rally, at all events, about the Ghetto ! The main thoroughfares, Whitechap.' 'el, Mile End road, Commercial road | 'are fine, broad avenues, some flankel | {with trees, and even the narrow of streets are gayer than most poor dis {tricts, because poor Jews delight it { the outdoor: life, Like. all simple | {primitive peoples, the Jews exalt thei | daily provisioning and work--in so fa {as the modern factory system permits |it--into a soft of festival.: There is mt | {fun in telephoning to your fish-monget ' {to send the best salmon in the shop | | But the Jewish matron, with three | | pence to spend on a piece of hake of | haddock, can pass from one barrow # i another probing with skilled finge: | the freshness of the article, chaffering | with the vendor about the price an | {quality of his wares. You will sé i her in Wentworth street wrinkling he; | eyebrows with scorn when fish is baé and dear, her pupils dilating in joy | when she gets a bargain, By going into the open market you can one day bring home little octa gonal Russian rolls, or a loaf with itr. twist and poppy seeds, or rye-bread; or sweet-bread, as the fancy takes you 'Tis a pleasant two hours; whilst you | have had gossip 'with your neighbors you have got the best of a hardened coster and you have provided a jolly good dinner for the children return ing home from school. As soon as the air gets a little warm in this rather dampish country, at | nearly every door an old lady, her ! days for marketing over, will be found seated on the step blinking in the sun, holding the skirts of her young grandchild and shrieking to those a | year or. so older to ceme off the road- way. Whenever possible the Jew pre- | fews to transact his business in the ! street; not only in the Ghetto will you | see him buying and selling, haggling, | talking and gesticulating on the pave- ment; he carries this trait to the igh- er life of a diamond merchant in Hat- | fon Garden or a broker in Throgmor- ton street. dox, fresh from Russia, is the palatial | building in Middlesex street, the Jew- | ish Board of Guardians, established | 'in! 1859 in Devonshire square to give | relief to the "strange poor" by the | granting of loans, The board has now an income of over $350,000; its activities are split up | into a large number of committees; | there are loan committees and distress i commitiees, apprenticeship commit- | tees, sanitary committees. And yet to the poor real Jew it is as heartrend- | ig to apply to "The Board" for help { as is elsewhere an appeal to the work- house. Not that the poor Jew has any silly scruples about accepting money from richer people. That he confidently re- gards. as their business; the Jewish beggar, the "Schnorrer"' is sn insti- tution, as readers of Mr. Zangwill's books will know. The following anecdote is a instance of the combined Wit pudence of the Jewish beggar: a | Schaorrer demanded of a r Jew the money for a visit to Ostend, the doctor having told him that sea baths would do him good. The wealthy man rather demurred. Ostend was an ex- pensive place; could not he go some- where a little cheaper? "Siry" replied the. Schnorrer with> dignity, "where my health is concerned I never con. sider the expense." The Jew does not understand class d.stinetion; one man is rich and an- other is poor, God has so ordsinedt. Lut wealth does not give a man a ter understanding of the Talmud or a better heart. The r Jew expects the rich one to eat: better--and more --and his wife and children to have finer clothes, jewels -- tlt is a sens- ible and proper way to spend the money. But at "the Board" the poor Jew is made to feel that he is of another class. Fresh from Russia, foodless, suffering, he begs at the Board in the name of God for meat and suecour. He is repulsed by a gorgeously wni- formed porter, and told that formal application must be made. Visitors came to" investigate his case. Does the man deserve charity? Are the children hungr, enough? the man sick enough? ical im- EE ---------- Mrs. Joseph Rrastenas, Lawrence, Mass.. received $2,199 for the death of husband in a factory. She is the first woman of that state to receive Thé standing offence to the ortho- I ed too hard. "One especial - bunch of carrots caught my attention. They appeared to me to be very ordinary carrots, but their owner, an old man, bent nearly double with his years, lifted them tenderly from the corner of his cart. The would-be purchaser was an elderly woman with sharp, greedy eyes. I could see from the first that | it would go badly with that old man: ""Thé scene that took place be- tween them was tragic. Every emo- tion of which a human countenance is capable was portrayed in turn upon both ' faces--polite inquiry, astonish: ment, contempt; incredulity, wound- ed -pride, determination, hesitation, avarice, finishing up at last with tri- umph on the one side and resignation on the other as the bunch of carrots was carried off by the woman." , Hardly a Parallel. Many stories are told of the wit of Bir H. Beerbohm Tree, and one of the best is related by Miss Constance Collier. The incident happened while she was rehearsing for the part of the heroine in a production at His Majesty's Theatre. The author of the play was there, making various sug- gestions, - "In this scene," he said, "the hero should pick you up, Miss Collier, and carry you off stage across his shoulder." Miss Collier objected, but the auth- or. insisted, till Sir Herbert came» to the rescue. "I saw a play in Italy once," said the latter, "in which the hero caught hold of the herciwe by the legs and banged her head on the floor." "Splendid!" exclaimed the author. "What was the play?" "Punch and Judy," was the actor's retort. . While We Sleep. "God bestows his gifts during the night," says the old German proverb Sleep itself is a great blessing, and while we sleep the clouds are storing | their supplies of moisture, the rivers are performing their ministry of labor on our behalf, the seeds are swelling in the earth, the grain is springing in the fields, the fruits are ripening {on the trees, the harvest is growing { golden in the mellow darkness of the autumn night, for, in truth, if we are | | wise and diligent, nature side, and all God's world is busy pres paring our bread.-- Henry van Dyke. Glad to Meet Him. King Humbert once visited Flor- ence and at a weception of the aris- ! tocracy inquired of each noble pre. sented what his occupation was. "No- thing, majeaty," ply until it came the turn of the | Marquis Ginori, who had lost caste somewhat because of his manufacture of pottery. 'I am a potter, maesta-- a maker of majoliea,"' said the mar- quis in response to the king's ques. tion. "Thank heaven!" cried the king, "there is one noble in Florence who does something." » Napoleon Before the Convention. When Barras introduced Napoleon to the convention as a fit man to be intrusted with the command the pres- ident asked: "Are you willing to. undertake the defence of the convention?" "Yes," was the reply. After a time the president contin. ued, "Are you aware of the magni- tude 'of the undertaking?" "Perfectly," replied Napoleon, fix- ing his eyes upon his questioner, "and I am in the habit of accomplishing that which I undertake." Always. "What is the proper thing for a man to do when his wife asks him for money and he hasn't any: quer- ied Newed. "Oh, there isn't any proper thing to do in those circumstances," replied Oldwed. "Anything he does will be wrong." : \ . Criticising the Critic. "Crittick read your essay," said De Riter's friend. "and he insists that you're beyond your depth.' "Ah," replied De Riter, *"I thought he would." "You did? Then you know what he means?" "Yes: He means simply that I am beyond his depth." 3 Canada's Papers. oy Canada has more than 1,200 news. papers, of which one-tenth are dailies. y ---- William L.

Dew was formerly supposed to fall softly from the heavens, and to this belief may be asaribed many current and poetical phrases, but dew does '| not fall in the exqct meaning of the | term. The condensation of watery | vapor follows upon the chilling of | the air. This is seen as the earth | cools toward night, and it takes place i most rapidly near the ground. Grass i and other vegetation cool more rapid- | ly than the air above them. The air in contact with plants is thus chilled and deposits its moisture upon' the | leaves of the plants in dew. When the chilling of the air proceeds fur- {ther the moisture may be precipitated | to. a comsiderable height above the earth's surface, and it then becomes what we call fog. : A Cold. Hard Snub.
