The wall will rest upon ‘piles and be protected from undermining by shell filling and riprap. The foundations -will be laid a little back_from the usual high water line and about three feet above mean low tide. A second and ‘| quite ag important a feature of the project is the filling in of the land back of the wall for a stretch of some 200 feet. Thirty-five feet of this made level nearest the wall will be laid with brick, so as to provide a driveway of 80. feet and a walkway, if the top of the wall be included, of niné feet in width. Next to the driveway on the bay side of the filling will be a strip of 60 feet of embankment planted with Bermuda grass. There are large possibilities of artistic de- velopment along the wall as thu planned, and in their oriatieel temper the citizens of Galveston seem to be iritent upon realizing these possibilities to the full.— Mobile Register. Condition°of the Jews. Their very religion—at once the cause and the compensation of their isolation—is lost to the Jews by the impossibility of reconciling its observances, especially the observ- ance of the Sabbath, with the ne- cessities of a, fiercly competitive civilization. If observed, it tends not only to render the struggle for life still severer, but also to shut them out from many forms of. in- dustrial activity, and thus cramp the whole people by confining them to comparatively few occupations. But, leaving on one side the peo- ple as a’ whole, the idea that the Jews succeed as individuals is equally illusory. As already stated, half the Jews of the world live in Russia, and, according to the most recent statistics, the value of the average possessions of a Russian Jew is under $5. The average Roumanian Jew has not even $1; in Persia, Morocco, Algeria, and the East generally, there is noth- ing but a mass of swarming pover- ty, varied as in Palestine, by per- petual mendicity. In the sweat- shops of London and New York the Jews, as a rule, are the victims. ~Israel Zangwill in Success. As Prof. Totten Sees It. Professor C. L. Totten, former- ly of Yale, sees in the Martinique horror the end of the present age, of the world’s history. He says: “‘We are now at the end of the Christian age. The philosophy of the present day, its customs and life are to end soon. The present time is the edge of one age and the millennial age is.at hand. “Nothing but the return of the Lord will savé the world. More calamities will follow the West Indian disaster, just as likely in the United States as ‘anywhere else. These calamaties mark simply the ending of the present age, but not the ending of the present world. The world goes on for- ever. “The Lord when he comes, will rule the world a thousand years. Christianity is a house divided against itself into a thousand sects and must fall with the end of the present era.”’ Snow Two Feet in Depth. Missoula, May 18.—Anthony Link of Garnet states that on Saturday morning at an early hour snow began to fall and continued until this morning, when he left there. There is ‘more than two feet of snow on the ground, and it looks as. if there was going'to be some high water if the sun should happen to come out strong. Snow fell in.all the high mountains last night. ‘The cold weather had a good effect on the high waters, as the rivers and creeks have gone down.

Turpentine, either in resinous form or spirits of turpentine, has a lot of household virtues well known to the women of the fron- tier, or isolated farmhouses, but not so familiar to city housewives. Few barefoot boys are ignorant of the fact that a cut toe heals quickly if some resinous turpentine is used asasalve. But in cities spirits of turpentine can be more easily se- cured and is more convenient for application. In most cases it will produce the same effect. Let a child suffering from the croup, or from any throat or lung difficulty, inhale the vapor, and then rub the little sufferer’s chest till the skin is red, ending by wrap- ping about it a flannel moistened with the fiery spirits. Relief will be almost instantaneous. ° After- ward sweet oil will save the skin. Use spirits of turpentine for burns; the pain will disappear and healthy granulation will at once set in. It can be applied effectively on a linen rag. Spirits of turpentine will take away the soreness of a blister very quickly. The skin will. soon go down, and healing will begin as soon as the remedy is applied. But outside of the family medi- cine chest spirits of turpentine is a good thing to have at hand. It is the best dressing for patent leather; it will clean artists’ clothes and workmen’s garments of paint; it will drive away moths if a few drops are put into the closets or chests; it will persuade-mice to find other quarters far away, if a little is poured into a mouse hole. A tablespoonful added to the water in which linensare boiled will make the goods wonderfully white; a few drops will prevent starch from sticking; mixed with beeswax it will make the best floor polish, and mixed with sweet oil it is unrivaled for fine furniture. The latter mix- ture should be two parts of sweet oil to one of turpentine. Some physicians recommend spirits -of turpentine for external applications in lumbago and rheu- matism. It is also prescribed for neuralgia of the face. It is an ar- ticle that should always be kept about the house and away from the fire.—-The Handicraft. Violet Leaves Cure Cancer. According to the London repre- sentative of the New York Journal and Advertiser the Onlooker con- tains an account of a most re- markable cure of cancer, Which medical cifcles are eagerly dis- cussing. It says the cure was dis- covered through the case of Lady Margaret Masham, sister of the earlof Romney. Lady Margaret became so ill that her throat near- ly closed, nourishment had to be adminstered artificially, and her death was expected in about a week, when a friend prescribed ‘the use-of fresh green violet leaves, The : suggestion. was followed. Relief was immediate. The large, hard external tumor disappeared and ina week all pain had ceased and the cancerous growth in the ton- sil disappeared in a fortnight. Has It Figured Out. Rev. Adolph Roeder, pastor of the new church (Swedenborgian) severely practical stand on the Anam and Eve question. He said: ‘‘Adam is simply the. He- brew word for man, and the word *‘Chevvan,’ or Eye, is the Hebrew word or symbol for life. The story of Adam or Eve is the story of intellectua! manhood and the creations’ of the life forces which God has implanted and by which he controls the destiny of the race.” 4 “Young man,” said the stern physician, “do you know where the evil effects of tobacco are first felt?’ ‘Yep; in the- woodshed,”’ responded the depraved young- ster.— Philadelphia Record. of Orange, N.

The Butte fund for Martinique was forwarded toCornelius N. Bliss last Saturday. Itamounted to $137. The finding of coal of excellent quality is reported in the Black Diamond properties near Ana- conda. J. D. Lang lost 800 head of sheep six miles west of Havre from the effects of water drank from an alkali hole. A lady in Meaderville recently gave a jewelry peddler $115 for two ‘‘diamond”’ rings. They proved to be cut glass. It is the intention of the propri- etors of Gregson Springs to build a $100,000 hotel, and plans have been chosen for the same. Bids for furnishing meat to the soldiers at Fort Keogh for the coming year showed prices rang- ing from 7 to.7# cents by the side. The widow of Henry Elling has donated $10,000 for a new Episco- pal church at Virginia City to be called the Elling Memorial church. Mrs. Cora Robbins of Billings was seriously burned while trying to fill the reservoir. of a gasoline stove without turning off the burner. : : The Silver Bow county poor farm was robbed last week of two sets of harness, eight hams, four- teen sacks of flour, twenty sacks of sugar and some small articles. The committee having charge of the matter has issued a prospectus and called-a meeting for May 24th at the Bozeman opera house, the purpose of which is the organiza- tion of ““The Inter-state Fair As- sociation of Gallatin County.” Great Falls had the worst rain. storm in its history on the 15th, the water covering the lower por- tions of the city from a depth of two to ten feet. George Dunlap, a grocer, reports that his loss will exceed $10,000. He has a stock worth $5,000 in the basement of his store, which is surrounded by six feet of water. Two buildings were struck by lightning. A fight over the possession of a cabin near the Revenue mill in the vicinity of Norris between Chris. Christiansen, Wm. Deman and Mrs. W. A. Miller, each of whom claimed the cabin, resulted in the wounding of Deeman slightly and Mrs. Miller’, perhaps fatally. Christiansen had possession, and the other parties went after him With revolvers; but he also had a gun and refused to surrender the cabin but used the gun on both parties, and then went to Norris and surrendered himself to the authorities. : Too Literal Translation. A missionary lately returned from India, now in this city, com- plains of the slow progress made out there in converting the natives, on account of the difficulty of ex- plaining the teachings of Christi- anity so that the ignorant people will fully understand them. Some of the most beautiful passages in the Bible are destroyed by transla- tion. He attempted once to have the hymn, “Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee,” translated into the native dialect so that the natives might appreciate its beauty. The work was done by a young-Hinda Bible student. The next day he brought his trans- lation to the missionary for ap- proval, and his rendering, as trans- lated back into English, read like this: “Very old stone, split for my benefit, Let me absent myself under one of your frag- ments.” —New York Tribune.
