Unlike so many of the mushroom Jewish millionaires, he did not originate from the 1irh' - ens of Whitechapel. His father had Leen a Hamburg merchant of good standing, and given his son a thou- sand pounds when he started to seek his fortune in South Africa. Success haul not come at once, but e- he had stuck to his work with the grim tenacity of his race. He was m Kimberley at the commencement of the diamond boom, He quickly sized up its possibilities, and rea- lized alt his available assets. Every penny he sank an diamondiferous land, and when the famous De Beers ]nine .was formed, it was found that Joel Josephs was a man '4' 'r' who counted. There had followed. a magnificent game of bluff, with millions as the stake. But Joel knew to the full the value of the land that he possessed, and meant to have his proper share. The conflict was a sharp ono, and those behind De Beers quickly rea- lized that they were dealing with one as clever as themselves. They were men of decision, and at once gave Joel what he asked; indeed the bargain was a good one from their point of view, and at the same time an excellent deal for Joel. A young man, not yet forty, he found himself many timos a mil- lieneese, but his success was spoilt, for within a oonplo of months his strife died, leaving him with a baby 7`e', girl. He had been deeply in love with her, -and this loss made South Africa hateful to him. Accordingly he returned to England and induced his widowed Sister, Mrs, Goldberg, to live with him and look after his childbek h Re a , Gradually hegrewreconciled to the loss of his wife, and the love that ho had lavished on her he he transferred to his daughter. ! When she was still in her teens, Inc lipp ambition returned with increased force, and he decided that her fu- turo should be as brilliant as money could make it, Nothing had been missed that could give to a natur- ally clever girl every accomplish- ment that the world appreciates, and he felt inordinately proud of her as she stood before him in all iter fresh yourig beauty. Her fea- tures were not of a pronounce Jewish type, and it would have been difficult to guess that she belonged to the chosen race. Joel had sot out with the film ,dell of entering the most exclusive set in Society. He had not tried to dazzle with his wealth, but had gone quietly to work with consum- mate tact and skill. The Earl of Wolvencolme had been a good friend. If there had been anything aggressive in Joel, or if there had oibeen the slightest stain on his nano the Earl would not have moved a finger to help him. But hie repu- tation in the City was of the clean- est, and he had never been 'known to perform a sharp actinn, or to leave a friend in the lurch. From their first meeting the Earl had conceived a great liking for him, for ho was first rate com- e parry, witty, well -road, and with a quiet, dignified manner that in- stinctively inspired respect.

Cattle intended to be fed this win- ter for the beef market, or any other stock, for the matter of that, should not be allowed to lose flesh by reason of short pasture during the late fall months, as weight so lost will have to be made up later on before any gain can be made; and, as gain cannot be made with- out cost, there is economy in plan- ning to hold what one has. liven though late fall rains may freshen the pastures for a while, the tender grass so started has not the nutri- tive qualities of that of summer growth, and especially is it lacking in nourishment after being frost- bitten. It is, therefore, good prac- tice, where practicable, to supple- ment the pasture by giving the cat- tle a fend once or twice a day of shaking it vigorously. — Youth's Companion. "_. WEALTH NOTES' - In the case of beef cattle, early stabling is not necessary or desir- able, provided they are fed in the open something more substantial than frosted grass, as nature pro- vides them with a heavier coat of hair for protection in suet' a con- tingency, and the animals aro healthier'for living in the fresh air, so long as they are sufficiently nour- ished by suitable food, especially if they have access to shelter from cold rains or snow storms. This tact has been abundantly proven by experiments in cold countries, where cattle have been successfully fattened in the open, with no other protection than that afforded by hills or woods. From the tempor- ary wooden sheds and stables of earlier years came strong, robust and well -finished beeves, as. a rule, showing more vigor, and better en- during the vicissitudes of shipping than those coddled in close, over- heated stables. :While the elabor- ate basement stabling so generally provided in these days for cattle have Hutch to recommend them in respect to .convenience of feeding and the care and handling of ma- nure, there is reason to fear that the question of providing for abun- dance of light and freshair in such structures has been neglected, to the loss of health and vigor in the animals so housed. But this diffi- culty may be largely avoided by planning far plenty of ventilation and light when building, and may be remedied to a considerable ex- tent in cases where the mistake has been made. In the case of fatten- ing cattle, at least, the mainten- ance of a high temperature is whol- ly unnecessary, and a wholesome condition' may readily bo supplied by moans of open windows and top doors, The feeding of'dehorned fattening cattle loose in sheds or roomy box stalls, in lots of five to ten in a group, has been satisfactorily prat• based by some feeders, and would appear to commend itself, especi- ally ware stanchions provided for keeping the animals in place_ while feeding.

BATS AS PETS. A College Professor lino Rad Sey- eral and Likes 'Thein. A bat; in a woman's bedroom can cause more excitement than can one lone burglar or even a dozen mice. All of which is sheer foolishness, according to a writer—a male writ- er, it is unnecessary to say—in the Technical World. If she would but give the bat a chance he could prove to her entire satisfaction that he is an intelligent and amiable creature and not unworthy of a permanent place in the household. Yes, the detested bab makes a most agreeable household pet. He is a most affectionate creature and will attach himself to a person as does a kindly and intelligent dog. A college professor says: "When I was a student at the university T had two bats, whicix came and went freely of their own accord. In the evening they were wont to rush through the window into the neighboring garden, hunt insects, and when their hunger was appeased they would return to my room. "They slept on a bookshelf, where they suspended themselves from a dictionary.
