Frankfort, what was Enown as the Juden- gage was separated from the rest of the city by bigh wails and heavy gates, which were shut at nightfall and kept closed un- )§ii sunrise. On Sundays they were never Bopened. Goethe, who was a native of Frukfort, gives a graphic description of the Judengasse, with its filth and squalor and stenches, to which the nerves of its inhabitants had been deadened by long fa- ity with the noisome atmosphere. he walls of the Judengasse were de- moved by Kieber's army in 1796. In 1872 the whole district was condemned as a ‘Jovisance by the sanitary authorities and ared out, except a single row of old hioned houses which date from the fif- enth century and were the homes of the peestors of rich and influential citizens. The ancestors of the Frankfort Jews me from Palestine, Turkey and Spain to ape persecution in the thirteenth, four- nth and fifteenth centuries and became e serfs of the emperor of Germany, who “ecorded them protection in exchange for ‘pixed tribute which went into his private

The original Anselm was a dealer in old wos and curiosities. He married and had boy who was called Mayer Anselm in er to distinguish him from: his father.

When Napoleon came along a few years after, the baron had sayed of it about 4,000,000 thalers in coin, which he took to Anselm and asked him to conceal for him so that it might escape the French army. Anselm accepted the trust without respon- sibility, and, as the story goes, dropped the bags of coin to the bottom of his well. The French soldiers took away everything yaluable that belonged to him, but the landgrave’s money was overlooked.

As soon as the army had passed on and he could do so without being suspected Anselm loaded the treasure on the back of a donkey and started for England, where be intrusted it to hisson, Nathan, a young man who had gone to London a few years’ before and was doing a modest business in shaving notes and in the commission way. There the fatber and son quietly bought, a i+tle at a time, large blocks of English, Austrian and German securities, which were depressed by the war. Anselm went back to Frankfort and there speculated with some of the money. It was nipe yeara before the landgrave returned. In the meantime his money had pled, and Anselm Rothschild returned it to bim, with interest 4t¢6 percent, which of It- self amounted to £150,000, a smal! fortune. At first the landgrave declined to take the interest, but Anselm of the red shield in- sisted that be was entitled toit.

EYES, EARS AND NOSES.

Sight, Hearing and Smell In the Ages Long Ago and Now.

It is a very curious question, especially if the question inelude the first animals created as wellas the first men, whether there be apy difference between sight.

' hearing and smell.in those early days o

at the present time.

Smell was one of the most important senses then, for it aroused appetite, en- abled the animals to seek and find their mates and to track their prey, and it gave them warning of a foe's approach or pres- ence. With man now it is of only third rate or fourth rate importance.

The orgen of smell among some of the first creatures was not near the end of the sneut or nose, but near the brain, and was well padded or cushioned with fat and pro- tected by a tender skin or by scales over- lapping each other. » a8

But it was not more keen or more deli- cate then than It is now, especially in our hunting dogs. Cats, too—and these are among the later animajs—have this sense in great perfection. A cat has what is called the homing, inssinet, and if carried away from home ip thé dark it can retarn by precisely the same road. It 1s said tbat this is because every £eld, diteh, village or house leaves its own odor in just the right order on’ the cat's brain, like a suc- cession of pictures, and the animal smells ite way back as we would see oura

The organ of smell seeme to commun!- cate with the memory, for the scent of a flower will sometimes bring back to a grown man the scene associated with it in his childhood, and a thousand other sub- tle thougtité and feelings, so that he seems literally carried back intc his past life.

The first creatures knew nothing of fro- grance. The sweet smelling flowers were not then in existence. Besides, their brains were too smal! to enjoy the delicate pleasures of sweet odors. '

Hearipg was comparatively poor with the first animals, for often an external ear was lacking. The outside ear not only protects the delicate nerves within, like a hood, but also gathers or collects sounds. A man of defect ve hearing instinctively puts bis hand behind his ear for this pur- pose. Birds that have no external ear can easily he enrusiend he nh-ht #4 takan

| while their Géwte vision shows them evory

movement by day.

The savage races had little idea of music They liked noises as children like drums and horns. The savages on the Midway plaisance bad great delight in their natiy: music, which was disoord to our ears. It required larger brains and finer training to have the full delightin melody and har mony that our musicians possess now.

The eye, also, jn the gigantic creatures of early periods was sometimes rudimentary, though, again, it was of large size and pro tected by a ring of bony plates instead of the lovely sisken eyelashes that protect and adorn the hnman eye now. In some of those lizardlike animals that burrowed in the mud there were three pairs of eyelids, one of them transparent, so that the ani- mal might sce through it closed.

It is said that early writers, like Homer speak of very fuw colors, chiefly red, co ‘‘purple,”’ as they called if then.

Enjoyment of beauty, of graceful curves and linesand propoftion, or of harmonious and varied colors and their dolicate tints belongs toa later state of cultivation, a

unore developed brain, than most of the early races knew.—E. F. Mosby in Phila- delphia Times.

Seized the Express Train.

A curious and amusing incident occur- red the other day at Angers, in France. M. Conquaret, s miller of Condon, had a claim against the local railway company which the ! atter refused to pay in spite of the finding of the court in ‘the millir’s fa- vor.

The claim amounted to 23,600 frances, and the miller requested the brokers to distrain on the company for that sum.

Now in France when once the brokers have seized an object it must not be moved from the place of seizure without a special permit from the president of the court in which the case was tried. Hence, with the object of bringing about a speedy set- tlement, the brokers employed by M. Conquaret quietly waited on the platform at Condon station until an express train had entered and come to a standstill. They then seized the train and the passea- gers it contained.

Of course the only way to Felease the train and its living freight was to pay the miller’s claim.

This the station master was authorized by telegraph to do, and after a delay of three-quarters of an bour the train started

‘once more on its journey.— Paris Letter.

ON AN OCEAN LINER. How Some Travelers Boldly Appropriate the Property of Other Persons. Human nature, particularly feminine human nature, is always an interesting

study, but especially is it so on shipboard, where time hangs so heavy. A returned traveler from Europe makes some interest- ing observations in the Chicago Times- Herald on the unconscionable way some

travelers appropriate steamer chairs and traveling rugs. As most people know, every passenger on the transatlantic steam- ers supplies himseif or herself with a warm rug to wrap about one’s limbs while sit- ting out on deck in a steamer chair. These gteamer chairs the steamship company is good enough to rent at 50 cents the voyage. Mrs. Adlai Stevenson, en route to join her husband in London, missed her rug one day. Although accustomed to the femi- nine ‘‘pushers’’ and free lunch workers of Washington society, Mrs. Stevenson was amazed at this extraordinary mani/esta- tion of human nature. An hour’s szarch revealed to her the whereabouts of her rug, but a polite intimation that the user of the robe had made some mistake and picked up the wrong rug, quite by acci- dent, was met with a cool ‘'That cannot be, because I bought this rug myself the day before we sniled.’’ Another intima- tion that an inspection of the tag would show Mrs. Stevenson‘s name written there- on was met with an icy stare and a lofty “I beg youab pawdon.’’ It required the authority of the chief deck steward and an enforced inspection of the tag to restore this bit of property to its rightful owner. “The bravest man I know is aboard this ship,’’ ceotinues the same writer. ‘“‘His name is Lester—Andrew Jackson Lester— and he isa rising young lawyer. A wo- man had ‘borrowed’ his rug. This was the second time she had taken that liber- ty. She was not only bold in taking, but impudent in claiming the rug as her own. This time young Mr. Lester set his heavy lower jaw ominously). ‘Madam,’ said be sternly, ‘that is my rug, and I propose to

take it.’ ‘Sir, if you touch my rug, I will scream for help.’ ‘Madam, you may scream if you like. If you do, I wil) de-

nounce you as a pilferer.” And so saying Lester pulled the brown and yellow . rug from about the form of the woman and bore it away in triumph. There were ro ecreams. It was # Inan’s nerve against & woman's, and the man won.”’

THE BLOT ON BAIREUTH.

@ W. Steevens Says That It Is the Enlise, Girl.

G. W. Steevens, says the New York Press, who finds a reading public when he says absurdly unusual things, for which he was noted in his American trin, now remarks that Baireuth has one bict on it —the English girl.

‘*She is,’’ ' » sways, ‘‘generally unmarried and runs from 25 to 35, with her accurate knowledge, and her impassive ways, and her prim, pale face, and thut thin, slow, unmoduiated, very high in the head voice! You know the voice. It is not a chest voice or even a head voice. It is a kin’ of brain voice, an excellent voice to sneer in. And how she sneers! She goes to the theater and comes outand says, ‘I wonder why Vogl can’t attack bis notes cleanly,’ and ‘Such a pity they made such a niuddie of the ‘‘Feucrzauber.’’’ When she recog- nizes a motii, she. labels it with its name in an audible whisper. She knows a!l the scenes by their Christian names, so to speak, and talks of the ‘Ritt’ as if she went out shopping toit. She paver laughs —only gives a sort of cough, half dis iain, half pity. I had met some like this, but 1 did not know there were so mapy in the world as I saw last week in Baireuth.

“I don’t like her a all, apd I wond why she comes. She doesn't look as if enjoyed it, but perhaps she does in a way, after all. It is a place where she can bask in her own culture. The truth ie that ex- cept to her Baireuth is not a place «f pil- gtimage at ail, but only a place of rational enjoyment after a person's own fashion. The German goes there as he gues to church. It is bis Guty. The Frenchman goes to make epigrams, to twist bis f.ngers and say, ‘Comme ca.’ The American takes it in, with his job shaming patience, as an institution of Kurope. The Eng!ishman mostly goes to take the English gir!. To the cultured English girl alone is Baireuth a high and holy sanctuary. I¢ ig the mir- ror of her own superiority.”
