THE EGYPTIAN MONUMENTAL COLORS Smart & Silberbere The syndicate purchase of Coats and Suits has aroused widespread interest. In discharging our duty to the public it seems advisable to announce that this special sale has already aroused greater in terest and attracted more customers than we expected to be fa vorcd by in three times the time that has elapsed. Despite Their Great Age They Have Never Faded. Despite their extreme old ago, in spite ol tne long time that these col ors have been exposed to the in Qu el) cos of the weather, they are yet bo brilliant and fresh that it 1b scarcely conceivable that they have endured for thousands of years. With few exceptions, these astonishingly dur able colors were made of minerals. The ever present brownish red was a mixture of ferric-oxide and clay from the Egyptian red lron-ochra beds. As for the yellow color, be sides gold bronze and leaf gold, ferric-oxide was also made to serve, this being mixed, according to the shade desired, with variable masses of al umina, lime, and the like. By heating these last mixtures, the brown tints were obtained, and the orange shades by adding red.

A pearl, you see, Is composed of concentric layers, or skins, and you can, If you are a clev er workman, peel It down and down until It disappears." Strength of Sand. Over thirty years ago M. Beauder- noud, a French savant, proved oy experiment that a quantity of dry sand, placed In a box of thin gheet Iron, or even In a canvas bag, and subjected to slight compression, lnrms a mass cauable of resisting a pressure of sixty tons, without break ing or even straining the box or bag. The sand, however, remains perfectly divisible, so that if a small hole bo made in the box or bag It will flow slowly, and with so little force that a small piece of paper pasted over the opening will check the flow, even with the sixty tons weight up on It. Washing In the Orient. The Japanese rip their garments apart for every washing and they Iron their clothes by spreading them on a Hat board and leaning this up against the house to dry. The sun takes the wrinkles out of the clothes and some of them have quite a lustre. The Japanese woman does her wash- inc out of doors. Her wash tub is not more thnn six Inches high. The hardest worked washerwomen in the world are the Coreans. They have to wash about a dozen dresses fni- their husbands, and they have ulenty to do. The washing is usual ly done In cold water and often in running streams. The clothes are pounded with paddles until they shine like a shirt from a laundry. Know Her Grammar. The JudKe'B little daughter, al though she hud talked several times through the telephones to her father, had never gone through tho formali ties necessary In calling him up. The first time she tried It she took the receiver off tho hook, as she , had seen others do, placed her Hps to the transmitter, and said: 'Hello! I want to tnlk to papa. ' "Number, plense?" snld "Central." "Singular," she answered, sur prised at the question, but proud that she knew some thing of tho rudiments of grammar. Youth's Companion. His Mttlo Joke.

Illaxtrat Ion of Sonic of the Ktrtklna Hrhrpw ClnirnrtrrlNt Ira. Some years since Israel Zaugwlll when on a visit to this country dellV' ered an ntMress In New York city to his own people. A few of (ho epigrams which he then coined concerning the characteristics of the Hebrews nro here offered : The Jews had no country of their own. They, could not possess the hind of their father.! In reality. So they iniade n portable Palestine. They cur ried It wherever they went. This wns a spiritual country. It could not be as sailed by their oppressors. There have been two conceptions of tho Jew one that he lends money and wants It back iig'ilii. (he other that ho deals In old clothes. The truth Is Jews have been everywhere. Thoy have been everything except pope of Rome, and they havo'come near to that. If they dealt In old clothes It was becauso papal decrees foibiulc them trading In anything else but old clothes nnd old Iron. Jews lu n way were as good ns Unit ed States bonds, only United States bonds mny be converted, but when a Jew wns converted he lost his vnltie. Becnuse Shylnck wns rich nnd Jes sica beautiful all Jews are rich and nil Jewesses are benutlftil. I wish it were so. A good looking Jew wns considered the fool of the family, which is conso- lndou for some of us.. The black plague swept over Europe. The Jews escaped by reason of their different hygienic laws. The Christians charged them with poisoning the wells, nnd thousands of Jews were put to death for not dying of (he plague. Colonel Roosevelt told me that the Jews of his regiment were among his bravest soldiers, and when Hobson had to be kissed It took n Jewess to do It. Jews not only furnished money for Columbus' expedition, but his first lieutenant wns n Jew. This olllcer covered tobacco, which Is greater than America. Carlyle said the Jews had no humor, but Carlyle was n Scotchman. A beggar stole a spoon from a wealth ier member of ills race who had enter talncd him. When detected the beggar said: "Br taking the spoon I broke the eighth commandment, which snys, 'Thou shalt not steal.' If I had not taken It I would have broken (he tenth, which snys, 'Thou shi'lt not covet.' saw I had to break one commandment anyhow, so I thought I might ns well have the spoon." It has always been the desire of Jew ish fathers, however rich, to have learn ed sons-in-law, however poor. 1 do not find this custom prevalent today. To Illustrate why there are no good Jews In fiction Mr. Znngwill reluted the storv of the lion and the cub. The cub had seen n painting of Samson vanquishing the lion, and snld to Its parent: "I bnve seen ninny contests between lions and men, and always the men have been the victors. Why are there no pictures showing lions over powering men?" "It Is because we Hons have no painters, was the pnr put's reply. The Jews hnve been scattered to the four winds nmong all the nations of the earth. They have been of Immense service to every country that has har bored them. It reminds me of the story of the crocodile which opened Its mouth so that n bird might go into it and cat the leeches which nnnoyed It. ' There was mutual lieneflt from the operation It Is not strange that sometimes the Jews find the crocodile's mouth closing upon them. It wns natural that Jews should congregate n round their syna gngues. Thev became to some extent Isolated from the people among whom tbey dwelt. This Isolation brought with It suspicion, nnd suspicion caused more Isolation for mutual protection. Tn mediaeval times the nations of Europe had n conception of the Jewish character compared ts .which Shake- Riteare's Shvlock wns ft saint. It was this that brought about the compulsory ghetto. There nre (wo general types of Jews, the (Jerninn and the Spanish. Hie Spanish Jews speak a mixture of He brew nud Spanish. The Ciermnn Jews speak Yiddish, n mongrel of bad Ger man and every other language in tne world. The Jews financed the crusades vol untnTily nnd Involuntarily. There wns nothing they had not financed, not even their own norsooutlons. New Y'ork Tlernlii.
