Rust said Judaism “gave the world seers and states- men and prophets of thé soul who led their people to a faith in God as a heavenly Father and formulated the commandment, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy- self,” In New York, about the same time, Father Francis Duffy, Catholic priest and overseas veteran, paid tribute to the “ancient and honorable order of Masonry,” and condemned the narrow-minded in his own church who BY JOHN CARSON 11M Rothschild family, grent: est money power in recent Buropean history, is taking the* turn in the road, Nathaniol, or Lord Rothschild, ty dead, by his own hand, His two sons, Nathantel and Lionel, decline to hear the call of the money marts, They have refused the throne and the sceptre of gold, of interest, of dividends, No other hand awaits that in- heritance of power.

The phylloxera attacks vines. It was discovered in the United States about 1850 and has spread to nearly all countries. In France alone, in the vineyard districts, it caused, in 10 years, a far greater loss than the Franco-Prussian war. It has been difficult to fight the insect without injuring or destroying the vines, The only reason it has not conquered all vines is that it has natural foes that have been encour. aged. Plant lice are all very small and feeble insects individually. Their strength lies in the rapidity with which they increase in number, Each female produces hundreds of young. They do not travel far from where they are born and the leaves of a |plant become densely crowded with | them, They are equipped with sharp | beaks which they insert in the fol- fage.

The Garrett Bib- lical institute, a Methodist Episcopal theological seminary at Evanston, made a gift deed of $150,000 worth of prop- erty to the Episcopal church with no condition other than that the property should be devoted to the work of train- ay for the Episcopal pulpit. ; a ese unbiased utterances and this remarkable gift are signboards along the main highway that stand out strik- ingly big and portentous amid the clutter of small things that are sordid.
