JEWS IN UNITED KINGDOM
Number Under a Quarter of a
and Are Mainly in the
Big Cities.
4' i. \J,~
a1: According to statistics there are at
the present time about 230,000 Jews
in the United Kingdom, mainly in
London and the other large cities of
England. The Jews being rated
among the greatest merchants in the
world, it is but natural that they
isliould flock to the cities where the
'widest field for their industry is to be
had.
In England there is a popular say
ing that there are no Jews in Scot
land. Although this it not literally
true, it is a fact that there are not
many of them in that part of the
United Kingdom. Mark Twain is au
thority for the statement that in the
last half" hundred years only one Jew
has lived in Scotland. He says that
lone moved tg Edinburgh, and before
lie realized it the canny Scots had
him so well trimmed of his worldly
Roods that he never afterward had
«nough money to escape from the
(country. It is feared, however, that
the humorist has slightly exaggerated
the story.
There are comparatively few Jews
In Ireland, the large majbrity of the
230,000 being in London, Liverpool
end two or three others of the largest
English cities.
Just as they do in this country, Hie
Jews of England ask no other race to
assist them in the maintenance of
their own poor. Through well-organ
ized charities £hey take care of all the
P#ar and destitute, raising nearly
$1,000,000 annually for religious and
benevolent purpdses,

Do the people who jeer at the cau
tious ones who refuse to lick a post
age stamp as "cranks" know that there
is a defined, disease known as "the
postage stamp tongue?"
This is an acute inflammation of the
tongue, directly traced to the germs to
lie found on the gummed side of stamp
t»r envelope.
Other and more serious diseases
jb&ve been caused by this habit that i&
.«o universal and seems so harmless.
«ys One throat specialist in a hospital
declares that many chronic affections,
of the throat are found among persons
r». ,r!who have as their livelihood the ad
V"'jflressing and stamping of envelopes.

Hanging on this Wall.
"The way pictures are hung makes
such, a!
lot of difference in the appear
ance of, a room," said an interior dec
orator, a few days ago. "That fact is
thrust upon me nearly every day. I
go. into some parlors where the pic
turps are hung so high that all per
spec^ive. is lost, and the ceiling seems
to be hopelessly high. Other folks
^iang theirs so low that it hurts your
spine to look at them, in. addition to
$ training your eyes, spoiling the
beauty of the room and taking from
the value of the picture'.'
"All pictures should not be hung on
the same level, as they so often are,
yet all should be as nearly on the
level with the ej*s as possible. If
square and oblong pictures are alter
nated irregularly with round and oval
ones the best possible effect is gained."
.-•i Being Natural.
Can you, tf you be the gentler sex,
walk down the street behind an ele
gantly gowned woman and restrain
the impulse to imitate her poise of
head, her carriage and the fascinating
ways she possesses? Have you ever
been in a crowded room where one
woman was the center of attraction
and seen someone trying to imitate
her? A woman is most charming
when she is natural. A woman who is
natural,, even in her erratic moods,
does not give offense. One cannot imi
tate the ways, manners and style of
another without appearing ridiculous.
The nicest women we meet are those
who do not pose or seek to imitate
«ome one else.
A Humble Queen.
Queen Adelaide, the wife of King
William IV., was a woman of unaf
fected piety and humility. These
qualities were conspicuous in the di
rections left in her will:
"I die in all humility, knowing well
that we are all iilike before the throne
of God, and I request therefore that
my mortal remains be conveyed to the
grave without any pomp or state. I
die in peace, and wish to be carried
to the tomb in peace and free from
the'-vanities ami the pomp of this
•world."—Home Notes.

A doctor who had been called to
see a patient tied his horse to a tree
and started to walk across the yard
to the house. He was not aware
that well-diggers had been at work
in the yard anrl it was dark he did
not see the javming hole in the
ground which they had made. Of
course fell into it and yelled hastily
for help.
When he was finally pulled up the
hir§d man remarked to him:
"I 'sfefe^pfp,'-you had no business
