CENTURY -OLD JEWS.
"Chosen People" Enjoy. an. Average
Longer Life Than Any Other Race.
A marked distinction - between- the
Jew and his neighbor is his longevity.
This is attributed tothe strict dietary
laws of the "chosen: race," and to the
frequent ablutions which their re-
ligious ceremonial demancts
ft is a truly signtiThant fact that
those Jews who abstain from eating
pork are practically free from cancer.
Ape t 'ently, if the Jews know iiow to
.u•„';e ste money, they also know
hpw:to preserve good health, for they
enjoy remarkable immunity from con-
sumption, cholera, and typhus. In
1348, when the Black Death wasrag-
ing throughout England. the Jews
were exempt from the plague.
Jews are, of course. subject to the,
ordinary ailments of life, but they can
boast of an average longer life than
any other race,
Among the Jewish community it is
not uncommon to hear of ' a- co -re-
ligionist who has "topped the cen-
tury.”
Ask for h inard's and take no other.
And think to altar its motion;
Don't waste a curse on the universe,
Remember it lived before you,
Don't butt at the storm with your puny
form,-
But bend and let it fly o'er you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whim to the letter,
Some things must go wrong your
whole life long,
Ann tl,e sooner you know it the
beer;
It is folly to fight with the infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle,
The wiser man shapes into God's plan,
As the water shapes into the vessel.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
PRAYING BY PROXY
Government of Ieglia Safeguards
Native Religious Customs..
Praying by electricity is practiced
by the Buddhists in India. The pray-
ers, written on •Iong pt per bands, are
wrapped round a wheel; and each
turn of the wheel is equivalent to
onerepetition of the prayer. The
pious native believes that the greater
number of revolutions of his prayer
wheel the better will his prayers be
answered, and he either turns it by
hand, or lets the wind or. water turn
it.
The watercourses of India are now
being harnessed for the purpose of
producing electricity, and but for the
thoughtful care of the Government
the native would be deprived of one
means of turning his prayer -wheel,
especially in the hot weather.
The Government, to overcome this
difficulty, and safeguard the religious
customs and traditions -of the natives,
compels the electric companies to
equip the wheels with motors, and
supply the necessary current to turn
them during the dry season. This is
to be done free of all charge to the
natives.
