    ] JUDGMENT Of THE DEAD f ;
By Koloman Jllkszrotli.
Late in the evening an old Jew, clad j
In rags, knocked at Nathan Weiss' 1
door. i
"I am sick an% weary," groaned the '
broken old man. "They told me you
were a Jew. Good, kind gentleman, | ;
have you no place "where I can stay and
rest awhile?" He could scarcely speak.
Ills limbs shook, his face was livid,
and his eyes rolled horribly.
"Go into the stable, my good man,"
said Nathan, "and rest there as long
as you please. The horses will warm
you." So the old man went to the sta
ble, and there he sank into a sleep so
profound that they could not wake him
in the morning. There were no tears
at his death; but, on the other hand,
there was no rejoicing, such as often
occurs when tears flow most freely.
By dying so abruptly he caused some
Inconvenience, both to Nathan Weiss,
in whose stable he had drawn his last
breath, and to the Jewish congrega
tion whose pious duty it was to give
him proper burial. Before he could be
buried many preliminary formalities
had to be observed, for a dead Jew
is a person of importance. No matter
how poor, wretched and despised lie
may have been while living, he must
be washed from head to foot, combed
and brushed and clad in new garments,
so that he may make a respectable ap- ■
pearance at his own funeral. Now, out
of the ceremony of washing grew the
singular story 1 have to tell.
Nobody knew the dead man's name
nor whence he came nor whither he
was going. But when the washing
began one of Ills Augers was found to
be bandaged as if it had been wound
ed- The bandage was removed, and
under it was found a tightly folded
strip of paper which bore these words
in Hebrew: "I am dead. In my pocket
are 500 guilders." It was very evident
that lie was dead, but the 500 guilders
were not so apparent. Every pocket
was searched, but never a note or a
coin came to light. The elders held a
meeting over the body, and vehement
suspicious of Nathan Weiss were free
ly expressed. They went to him and
asked:
"Where are the 500 guilders?"
But Nathan swore by heaven and
earth that he had laid neither bands I
nor eyes on the money. The elders pro- j
ceeded with their pious duties and laid
out the corpse decently and covered it .
with a black pall. Then they put their
heads together again and debated what
should be done. It would be a line
thing if they could find the money, for
it would pay for the funeral and leave
a neat little sum lor the congregation
besides.
Should they take the matter into
court? To what purpose? If Nathan
chose to lie out of it, they could do
nothing.
"What have we to do with courts?"
said Simon Schwarz. "Let us decide
the matter ourselves with wisdom and
cunning, like King Solomon."
They all agreed not to go to court, for
they knew that all the terrors of the
law would not wring the secret from !
the breast of any of their number who
might chance to share it and that Na
than, if he were really guilty, would
not be fool enough to confess. They
therefore begged old Simon Schwarz,
the wisest among them, to act as judge,
with plenary power to use any means
of getting at the truth that he might
deem expedient. Simon thought over
it all day, and in the evening he went
to Nathan and said:
"Hear, Nathan. You must go, with
tw< witnesses, to the death chamber,
take the dead man's hand in yours and
say, 'On my honor and conscience I
solemnly swear that I have not stolen
your 500 guilders.' "
All the elders assented to this ar
rangement, although the earmarks of
Its superlative wisdom were not clearly
apparent. Nathan himself was espe
cially pleased with the verdict, for he
thought it gave him an opportunity to
clear himself of all suspicion. At tin?
appointed hour—midnight—Nathan and
the witnesses entered the death cham
ber. The black pall covered the face
and form of the old man, all but one
yellow, wrinkled hand, which hung !
down at the side of the bier. Two flick
ering candles threw an uncanny light
over the scene. Nathan approached
the bier and grasped t lie pendent hand. j
How cold it was! He shuddered and j
shivered, but retained the hand in his !
while his trembling voice uttered the i
words:
"Good old man, on my honor and
conscience I solemnly swear that I I
have not stolen your 500 guilders."
The next instant Nathan uttered a I
frightful shriek. The dead man's hand
had contracted and held his fast in a
grip of steel!
"Pardon! Pity!" ho murmured. "Have
mercy, Jehovah! I did steal the mon
ey, but I will restore it. Not a guilder
shall be lacking. It is hidden under
the bake trough."
"Aha, you scoundrel!" cried the dead j
man (impersonated by Simon Seliwarzi, !
casting off the pall and springing to j
his feet.
"So I got the truth out of you, did I? i
Aha! You thought me like the other
judge, whom one can fool with lies."
And the elders bowed their heads to j
his superior wisdom and cried with i
one voice that Ids like had not been j
seen since Solomon's day.—Translated j

PEOPLE OF THE DAY. j
While nothing is positively known as i
to the changes that will take place in |
the president's cabinet after the 4th of !
March, it is now pretty generally be
lieved that Attorney General Griggs
will retire because of the pressure of
private affairs. While there is no re
liable information concerning Mr.
Griggs' probable successor, among the
knowing ones the name of Wayne Mac-
Veagh is mentioned. Mr. MacYeagh is !
a native of Pennsylvania and is 07 ;
WAYNE MACVEAGH.
Yale. He was minister to Turkey dur
ing President Grant's first term. Pres
ident Gartteld made hint attorney gen
eral. which position he resigned, with
other members of the cabinet, after the j
accession of President Arthur. He dis- \
agreed with President Harrison on
matters of civil service reform and
gave his support to Cleveland in 1888.
He has since returned to the Republic
an fold. Mr. MacVeagh was for sev- I
eral years chairman of the Civil Serv- j
Ice Reform association of Philadelphia. ;
Tolstoi'* I nprctentious WnyN.
At table Tolstoi sits between his
wife and his eldest daughter, Tatjama.
who helps him greatly with his work. ,
He and his two eldest daughters are ■
continued vegetarians, says a writer in ;
M. A. I'., much to the annoyance of
the countess, who cannot be convinced
that his mode of living is healthful. ■■
While the other members of the fami
ly and the guests, who are never lack
ing at this midnight meal, eat the j
usual food, the count and his two
daughters regale themselves with soup
and various vegetables. After dinner j
Tolstoi often pays visits. The sheep
skin coat, belted around the middle !
and reaching to the knees, and the !
cap. pulled down ovet his ears, give
him on such occasions quite the ap
pearance of a peasant.
During the evening Tolstoi likes to
read to his friends passages from new
books or journals and to engage in
lively discussions. It is an attractive
trait in him that during a discussion he
pays as much attention to a young stu
dent as to a gray haired university pro
fessor. Quibbling is abhorrent to him,
and he asks only candor and honesty.
i Open as his house is to his guests, Tol
stoi dislikes to show himself in public
places. He seldom goes to the theater
and always selects a secluded seat. He
| is au excellent musical critic and also
j a good amateur musician. Improvised
concerts are frequently held at his
house, and, if necessary, he seats him
self at the piano and plays accompani
ments.
Tli Czar's lllim'mm.
The long and serious illness of the
czar of Russia kept several govern
ments and many individuals on anx
ious seats. While it was known who
would succeed him in the event of his
death and there was little doubt that
I his policy would be closely followed by
NICHOLAS 11, CZAII OF RUSSIA.
| his successor, there is always more or
less uneasiness over the possible inter
j national effects of a European ruler's
] death. During the whole period of Ids
illness the czar was attended by his
young wife, who was almost exhausted
by her vigil. The czarina refused to
surrender her place at the bedside of
her sick husband to a trained nurse.
Italy'* EnerKetic Youiik Klnur.
The character of lite young king of
Italy is as yet a closed book. He has
I plenty of energy and even some good
j share of physical strength under the
| appearance of extreme feebleness. We
, have seen him driving his team of Eng
' lish horses down the slopes of I'osilip
po in away no weakling could have
j done. He was commanding the garri
son of Naples at that time. Afterward
I he was appointed to the charge of a
| division at Florence. He was at Flor
ence when the news of tlfe terrible dis
aster of Adowa reached Italy. Ho
j deemed that all the African disasters
were due to Siguor Crispi, then uiiuis-
I ter, and off he rushed to Rome to say
| his say to the king. King Humbert
i sternly ordered his sou under arrest
for 24 hours for leaving his post with
; out permission, but at the same time
J he dismissed the minister.
11 FOR THE'
FARMER
One of the newer American forage
orops is alfalfa, writes L. A.-Clinton in
The Rural New Yorker. As this plant
is receiving considerable attention from
the agricultural press, some facts con- 1
cerning its cultivation and habits
should be known. Farmers should not j
be misled concerning the statements j
regarding the value of the plant. It I
will succeed in one place and on one j
soil, while upon an adjacent farm It ;
may prove an entire failure. It seems
especially adapted to the arid or semi
arid regions of the west, where the soil ,
has great depth, but it has no place |
where the hardpau or the rock comes
near to the surface.
In certain sections of New York state I
it grows almost to perfection, and i
where this is found to be the case the
plants should bo grown as an adjunct
| to the pastures and other forage crops
! of the farm. It grows best upon a loam
| or a sandy loam soil, but if care is
taken in the preparation of the seed
bed it may be made to thrive on a clay
or a clay loqin. In our northern cli
mate spring seeding is preferable. In
i the south fall seeding seems to give
I better results. A prime requisite for
! success Is thorough preparation of the
seed bed. Should the soil upon which
it is to be grown be a clay or a clay
\pam fall plowing should be practiced.
Leave harrowing until spring and then
| when the soil has become sufficiently
dry prepare the seed bed as thoroughly
as it would be prepared for a garden.
I About 20 pounds of seed are suffl
, eieut for an acre. If sown broadcast,
I it should be lightly covered with soil,
I and a weeder is an Implement which
will admirably servo in covering the
seed. Many become discouraged be
cause at first the weeds grow much
faster than the alfalfa. This is nearly
always the case during the first sea
son. Before the weeds go to seed they
should be cut with the mowing ma
chine. If the growth be not too heavy,
they will not injure the alfalfa if nl
i lowed to fall down and act as a mulch,
j hut if too rank they will smother the
alfalfa and should be removed. Alfalfa
i never shows at its host during the first
| season. It must have time to send its
! roots deeply into the soil, and when
j once well established it will hold its
i own against weeds and droughts. Y\*t
| do not recommend all farmers of
l the country to go to growing alfalfa,
j Where it will grow well It has its place
i on the farm, but a small area should
| he devoted to it at first, and if it is
! found to succeed the area may he in
! creased. It should not he depended
j upon as the main source of supply for
j summer soiling, but it will serve ad
i mirably as an adjunct to pastures. It
! can be cut from three to five times
( during the summer and furnishes a
I large amount of material rich In pro-
I teln. On farms where alfalfa has not
I been given a trial it should be, and
Where it has failed it should be given
j another trial. Each farmer must prove
i for himself the capabilities of his soil
and the plants which will prosper upon
it.
IlanKc Flock*.
I'nless immediate action in some way
is taken, it seems that very soon the
ability of the western rangers to main
tain the present stock of sheep, to say
nothing of any increase, will be over
taxed, says The Sheep Breeder. Com
plaints of the insufficiency of feeding
are becoming loud and frequent al
ready. The cause of it is not very well
understood. The range is overtaxed.
The flocks eat the grass before it: has a
chance to seed, and the roots die out.
There is 110 escape for the early barren
ness of the range unless something Is
done. It is not the envious cattlemen
who are telling this story of the disap
pearance of grazing. The flock owners
are themselves complaining and admit
the disagreeable facts. If something
is not done, we shall be in the predica
ment of the Australian pastoralists,
who are losing millions of sheep on ac
count of tlu- failure of the ranges every
year and have been for several years
past. A gleam of light breaks through
the dark cloud, however, and along the
streak appears the fact that alfalfa is
the panacea for the approaching disas
ter. This plant must be grown for pas
ture. and Irrigation by artesian wells
must be employed to grow it.
Beef or llattcr.
The Minnesota experiment station
tested the cost of food for producing
beef and butter and found that four
, steers made a daily gain of 2.52 pounds,
and on food worth $8.51 they gained 425
pounds, a cost of about 2 cents a pound.
Four cows Cod on the same amount and
i kind of food used $11.84 worth in the
! same time and produced 255.42 pounds
, of butter fat, equal to 298 pounds of
- butter, at a cost of about $3.07 per hun
dred pounds. II took of dry matter in
the food 5.2 pounds to make a pound of
gain on the steer and 10.28 pounds to
make a pound of butter. If food were
. all that had to he taken into eonsideru-
L tion, butter would be most profitable at
, present rates, but more care is necos
, nary iu selecting cows of a dairy type
than steers for feeding. Better build
ings and more utensils are required for
, butter making than for fattening cat
tle, and much more labor is required in
I making butter. But, again, ibis is in
part offset by the value of the skim
milk and buttermilk for feeding to
calves, pigs or poultry, which might
. amount to nearly as much meat as was
. produced of butter.
The most soothing, healing and auti
, septic application ever devised is Do-
L Witt's Witch Hazle Salve. It relieves
at once and cures piles, sores, eczema
j and skin deceases. Beware of Ruina

OyMtera In lee DIMIICM.
i Not only oysters, but fruits, are some
times served iu receptacles made from
ice. It is possible to get molds in
: which water may be frozen in saucer
form for the oyster or clam course, and
some caterers have achieved fruit bas
kets and even excellent Imitations of
epergues and comports. These effects
are to be noted as novelties rather than
commended. Still in the best taste is
the oyster or clam in its shell, piled on
a mound of nicely shaved ice, packed
in its turn on a pretty plate. J?ruit,
too, arranged in a silver or crystal dish
is properly and effectively presented,
! and the needed chilling can be accom
i plished beforehand in the refrigerator,

| party, the effect of serving oysters
