To what extent the project of trans porting Turkish and Russian Jens to Mesopotamia and the founding there of B Jewish state will succeed Is uncertain. As to the country Itself the soil Is ex ceedingly fertile but like a good deal of our own western land It needs Irrlga- tlon in order to be productive It Is stated that to restore the old time pro ductivity 140,000,000 would be required, but that sum, great as It Is, will be speedily forthcoming . from wealthy Jews if the idea materializes. But will the Jews or any considerable number of them go to Mesopotamia? As for the Jews in Turkey and Russia their condition is so miserable that al most any change would be tor the better. This may induce many of these people to go if the way opens. But so far as concerns the Jews Id this country it is extremely unlikely that many would go. The Jews may be very enthusiastic about Palestine and the other regions with which their former national history is associated, but that enthusiasm is not going to make them give up a good living and favorable civil and political conditions for an uncertainty. Inthe old days of Ezra and Nehemluh the number who left Babylon to rebuild Jerusalem and start afresh as a nation was comparatively small, and the pros pect is that it would be much the same In the proposed venture. Chicago and New York Jare more attractive than the plains of Mesopotamia as a perma nent abode. Relief Afforded. Indicative of the relief alforded to employes of Pennsylvania Railroad, east and west of Pittsburgh, by its Relief Departments are figures in the annual reports of these departments for 1908. The sum of 11,373,856 43 was paid to employes or their families on account of illness or natural deaths. The amount paid on account of acci dents was $547,353.05. Operating ex penses, which were paid by the rail road, amounted to $380,394.94. The membership of the relief funds in 1908 averaged 129,938, of which 91,777 were employes of the lines east of Pittsburgh and 38,161 employes of lines west. The scope of the workings of the re lief department Is also shown by the report for April, which was made pub llo recently. The total payments amount ed to $175,828.06, of which $102,010.45 were paid to members unable to work, while the remainder, $73,817,61, was paid to the families of member who died. The payments on the lines east Of Pittsburg amounted to $121,687.31, and on the line west to $54,240,75. , . Since the Relief Department was es tablished In 1886, the total payment to employe and their families have amounted to $26,272,102.24, of which $7,100,403.61 were paid by the fund on line west, and $19,171,698.73 by the Department on the line east of Pitta burgh and Erie. Fatalities. By the use of fire arms, giant crack ers, toy cannon, &c, many people are Injured in Fourth of July celebrations, but the extent of Injuries and fatalities, perhaps, is not generally known, there fore we publish the following figures as to number injured and number of death, which have been gathered by the American Medical Association and can be considered fully reliable: "In the last Ave years preceding the present year, the number of Injuries In the United State ocourlng as the re suit of Independence Day celebration were 23,673; of this number 1,153 re sulted fatally. Of these Injuries 6,458 occurred In Pennsylvania, the fatatltles reaching 172. The statistics of 1908 are 6,623 for the United States, with 163 fatalities; for Pennsylvania 987, with 21 fatalities. Wifl Give Details. The Star, with a number of other newspapers, ha received notioe from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company concerning it polloy of making public the detail of accident along it line. Among other thing the notioe says: "The management of this company realize that upon occasion of accident It la of the greatest Importance that the number and name of any who may be injured should be made known Im mediately. This Is all the more urgent aa moan of relieving the anxiety of the families and friend of passengers who may to m the train. The railroad company k, ef course, in the best po itloa to btaia tbla information, and the newspaper may be assured that tbeeotnpacy will make publio cuob in formation a it can obtain freely aod lolly." . Tree Study. Teacher throughout the country have been invited by the United States Forester to co-operate with the ForeBt Service In an effort to obtain m:re definite knowledge of the characteris tics of the most Important forest trees of the United States. To do this It will be necessary to obtain a large number of volunteer observers who will collect material on the time of loafing, bios Burning and fruiting of the various kinds of forest trees. In bis letter In vttlng the co-operation of the teachers, Forester Plnchot says: "Knowledge of this kind la greatly needed and will be of value from the standpoint both of education and of practical forestry. For educational purposes the results obtained for each species, averaged and presented graph ically by means of colored charts, will be available to all who are Interested In the subject, and particularly to schools, They will form virtual "tree calendars" and will be valuable aids to nature study. "Children can readily be Interested In the actual work of obtaining record?. This should form an attractive outdoor feature of the school work that should serve to develop the faoulty of accurate observation, and at the same time to promote an Interest In forestry which may lead to abetter appreciation of its aims and methods. It may also prove to be a profitable addition to botany courses for older students." On request, the ForeBt Service will be glad to send forms upon wbloh to record. data Bnd a pamphlet containing full Instructions as to the nature of the observations and bow they are to be made. It Is isaid tbai.J the American Sugar trust has discharged seven of Its em ployes for complicity In defrauding the government. That they did defraud Is altogether probable from the evidence furnished, but they had no Incentive to do It on their own behalf. Tbey were not enriched by it. No one supposes that tbey did it as a joke or because they liked to do It. As a matter of fact they were the tools of the trust, wbloh alone profited by their dUboneBty. For the trust in a Pecksniffiao spirit of boly horror to discharge those employes is a discreditable act that will not Impose on the publio, which already has taken its measure. Neither, we Imagine, will it deter the government from proceed ing with its criminal prosecution of the members of the trust. History records many lrupertahMle name, but with some It Is the lmper- lshableness of Infamy and not of honor. Not one of us may attain, such distinc tion as to be continually remembered, but to a greater or lesi extent we shall exist in the memory of others. This life should be so lived that when we pass away people may remember us only for our goodness. Some men enjoy work as work, but there are still more who enjoy standing by to see tbem do It. Let two or three men engage In lifting a heavy sale or beam and a whole crowd will stand without minding It In hot sun or cold drizzling rain for an hour to watch the proceeding, If an article falls from a shelf or table we Instinctively put out our hand to stop it and replace it. Just as In stinctively we should seek to hold up the man or woman who show signs of falling. That would be far more helpful than letting them fall and then It in judgment upon them. A quaint writer advised every person to "burn his own smoke," by which he meant that one should not trouble other with his doubt and fears. Cer tainly life would be far more delightful if people abstained from unnecessary recital of their ills and woes. , The emptier the vessel the more does it sound aod resound, and it Is muoh the tame in human life. It is the man devoid of common sense and understanding that make the most Lpoise. Some people suffer mrre front Imagin ary troubles than real ones. They al ways worry about the. future aod con jure up difficulties that do not exist. Because of this their life is robbed of more than half it joy and blessing.

But There Was a Collection and Also a Reason For It. Tbe colored parson hud Just conclud ed a powerful sermon 011 "Salvation Am Free" and was announcing that a collection would be tnken for the ben efit of the parson nnil his family. Up jumped an acutely brunette In-other in the back of the church. "Look a-yeah, pahson," he Interrupt ed; "yo' ain't no sooner done tellin' us dat salvation am free dnn yo' go ask In' us fo' money. If salvation am free, what' de use In pnyln' fo' It? Dat's what 1 want to know. An' I telly yo' p'lntedly dat I ain't goln' to gib yo' notbln' until I find out.

An' It wouldn't cost yo' nothln', would It?" "Ob cou'se not. Dat's Jest what I" "Dat water would be free," contin ued the parson. "But, s'posln' yo' was to hub dat water piped to yo' house, yo'd have to pay, wouldn't yo'?" "Yas, suh, but"- "Waal, brudder, so It is wld salva tion.

The Secret of Its Manufacture 8eems to Hava Been Lost. The Ink. manufacturer has made great strides in bis Held. He has pro duced many colored fluids that seem well adopted to ordinary use. But how long will this ink last without fading? Did you ever pick up a letter writ ten ten or fifteen years ago and note bow much of It Is illegible because the ink has faded? Some precious docu ments not a century old are preserved today In air tight cases, so that the Ink will not fade any more. Others have been copied In order to retain the ex act chlrography of the original authors. Fading Ink Is one of the things In which the ancient did not believe. Many of the mediaeval manuscripts six and seven hundreds years old hare their letters formed of Ink that Is as black and bright as on the day when first written. Who has the secret of this lost art of making durable Ink? It is another one of the lost arts that Is worthy of Investigation. The ancients had fewer materials to work with and less facil ities for laboratory tests, but we must acknowledge that there are some things In which tbey ' excelled us. World Today. Joy of a Yawn. When life seems more than usually Insipid and such moments do come to even the most hopeful of us there Is a sudden pleasant sympathy In the yawn of the terrier on the rng before the Ore. "Ah, you, too, And things a little boring, old fellow!" we say to ourselves. A dog yawns nobly, mak ing no attempt at disguising It with politely uplifted paw. All animals seem to enjoy a yawn except man. We once saw tbe late lamented hip popotamus at the xoo lift himself slow ly from his murky pond and yawn. It was a great spectacle, tremendous, Ho meric. The concentrated, boredom of the whole creation seemed expressed In that gigantic gasp. For a few fas cinated moments pond, shed, railings, people, all seemed merged In one co lossal mouth. It was wonderful. Oh, we thought as we came away, to be able to yawn like that when life be come too silly! Pall Mall Gatette. Parental Prejudice.

Tbe agitation over votes for women recalls the early' days when this topic was a trultful source of discussion at Chautauqua. Dr. Buckley was in those days, as he Is still, opposed to extend ing the franchise to women. He en gaged lu active discussion with many advocates of woman suffrage. It was not ac Chautauqua but in Boston that the following bit of repartee was at tributed to Dr. Buckley. His feminine opponent In an animated debate turned upon tbe doctor with the statement, "Sir you cannot cow me." "Madam," was the doctor's instant reply, "you cannot bully me."

Robinson & Mundorff. Kept His Word. A young fellow In Havana who oc cupied the position of a reporter fell In love with a girl, the daughter of a wealthy planter. He applied to her father In the orthodox way for bis consent to the marriage. "Presumptuous!" said tbe father, with eyes flashing. "You, a poverty stricken journalist, and my daughter! Sir, get out of my presence!" The Journalist was very angry. It brought forth u heated declaration of pride: I "Your daughter Is too good for me, you say? I will marry a princess be I fore I die." And, with bead erect, be lea tne irate lather. The journalist went to Spain. He wrote poems. The poems were read by the Trlncess Josephine. There was a meeting. The two fell In love with I each other. It Is said tbe Journalist I was so sincere in bis affection that I probably he forgot bis declaration to 'the Havana planter. Tbey were both I royally bappy, eloped, married In Val I ladolld and were eventually pardoned , : by Queen Isabella, the one time jour- j I nnllst being received with all the re- . apect due to bis new and high rank. f When Ladies Wore Masks. In tbe seventeenth centnry ladles 1 wore masks In public, and great was I the variety of face screens that were ' seen. Ladies who had "coralline" lips preferred short masks, as was n itur.tl. For others who wished to hide the lower part of the face the mask was completed by a cbln piece of linen, which afterward passed under the chin and over the ears. In 1032 a new mask called the mlinl, from the Ital ian mimics, was all the rage and ! threatened to usurp the place of the ' Mack one. It was even the cnne of 1 violent quarrels between the ladles who held to tbe latter and those who preferred the latest novelty. Some years later It became the fashion to trim the upper part of the mask with a ruche of lace, to lengthen It with a beard of the same material and even to cover It more or less with luce to tbe borders of the eyeholes. Young ladles of this period, however, fre quently contented themselvea with cov ering the face simply with a piece of black crape for coquetry' ake and to appear tbe fairer. . .
