Ths Talmud.
The Talmud Is the compendium of
aoelent Jewish oral or unwritten law,
as distinguished from the Pentateuch,
or written law. Its origin is coeval
with the return of the Jewish people
from tbe Babylonian captivity. 530 B.
C. Its compilation in Hpbrevv was be
gun by tbe scribes, and by their suc-
cessors the work was carried on til)
220 B. C. The Talmud Is n combination
of prose and poetry aud contains two
elements, legal and legendary. Its
morality resembles that of the New
Testament, and Its philosophy reminds
us very forcibly of that of the great
Plato.—New York American.

recorded are certainly on the highest

In some cases the price Is still
mounting, and, while the result is
more or less burdensome to city peo-
ple. farmers who are properly equlp-
ped are coining money. The opportu-
nity Is theirs, and If they are not
reaping liberal profits it is owing to
misfortune or faulty management
Not only nre prices uniformly high,
hut there is every indication that they
will remain so. It is not the war
alone that has brought about tills situ-
ation. The rapid and enormous
growth of cities all over the country
explains the continual and urgent call
for farm commodities. Formerly pro-
ducers were in the majority, but to-
day they are only about 40 per cent
of the population. Men aee new oi>-
portunlties In fanning, but back, of
the profits of tills vocation there is
shown a general unrest in the cities.
There is widespread dissatisfaction
with the hardships of life in a me-
tropolis. The larger a town becomes
the more onerous are the conditions
of life among the poor and middle
class people. Day laborers who have
no permanent employment may be
compelled to stick to city life, but

The hanging gives the disaffected sec-
tion of Ireland another martyr, cm

The Sting.
A pert young miss said to old Gobsa
Golde's heiress, the aging Lotta:
“Your fiance, darling. Is going round
telling everybody that you're worth
your weight in gold."
“The foolish boy," said the elderly
heiress, blushing for pleasure. "Who
does he tell it to. do you know?"
“Why." said the other girl, "to all

by taking land and moving to the
country. A proportion of these peo-
ple may locate so as to retain employ-
ment or business In town while keep
itig their families In the country.
This Is an ideal plan for those who
are able to adopt it.
Tbe high rate of farm profits enables
landowners to pay liberal wages, and
a general betterment of conditions af-
fecting hired men has been brought
about. Wages in tbe country are the
best ever known, the working day has
been shortened, and the whole situa-
tion as young people look at It has
been improved. Therefore there is an
Increased willingness on the part of
single men to take employment In the
agricultural districts. Perhaps tlie ex-
odns of workmen from town to coun-
try will more than equal that of fam-
ilies who arc going back to the land.
All financ-lal men. railroad officials,
statesmen aud others whose business
fits them to form Intelligent opinions
on the subject do not hesitate to ad-
vise young men to seltle down as farm-
ers. Wbetberthoy become landown-
ers or simply work for wages, they are
doing a wise thing when they locate
