Renan said of the Jews, "The Sem- ( itic people are almost entirely without ( the power to laugh." Surely had he looked for traces of Jewish humor in < the light which Heine casts back upon its dark tradition he would never have made so sweeping a statement. For eight years Heine lay upon his "mattress grave" in Paris suffering excru- < ciatlng agony. He deserved, he said, to have awarded to him 44the grand medals of pain and misery.** Leopold Eunz said almost the same words of the whole Hebrew people, "If there are ranks in suffering, Israel takes precedence of all the nations." The humor of Israel is flavored with bitterness and 1 plays round the greater subjects of I thought and of speculation; plays like ( the humor of a man in pain. , Listen to the lament of a satirist t born at Aries in 1287 who finds the works of the Jewish law an intolerable burden and seems to have come, like Heine, to the bitter conclusion that "Judaism Is not a religion, it is a mis- J fortune:" { Oh, hapless sire, distraught with cares, 2 Whose wife to him male children bears, : For all of them, or rich or poor, . Have only suffering to endure. This is caused by the Jewish creed. Whose yoke is hard to bear indeed. ( Its many laws and regulations AVhich are unknown to other nations 1 Every Hebrew must observe ] With watchful eye and straining nerve; E'en though he shares in public functions, ' He still must follow their injunctions. The Bible is not half enough; Glosses there are and other stuff In which he erudite must be, Especially in theology. In all the Talmud may relate, In authors' quarrels and debate, In things particularly small, Of no significance at all. One more mediaeval quotation, this time from the pen of a Barcelona Jew. The lines can hardly perhaps be called humorous, but they illustrate with a certain terse comedy the great value set by the race upon three .thingsmoney, knowledge and domestic happiness. If a man has none of them the poet has no better advice to give him than to hold his tongue or to hang himself: What is the most useful thing to any man in life? Knowledge or wealth or a good and loving wife. But if none of these commodities man has ever got Then by keeping golden silence he might improve his lot And if he cannot do so, that poor and hapless knave, Then let him go away at once and dig himself a grave. On his deathbed Heine made his last 14- la frml/Mtllv Tonrlah <*PA JV&C, auu lb XO bj ^llvuiij Wbntsu> uv viewing bis by no means irreproachable past," be boped tbat God might forgive him, "for c'est son metier"?{that la , bis trade). Another story Illustrates , yet more perfectly the bitter humor of I the Jew. It is the story of a dying i rabbi "who had been all bis lifetime extremely religious, but bad likewise 1 always suffered much want and mis- 1 ery. 'Do you know,' be said to those . in the sickroom, If after all the sad ex- { periences I have had in the past there is no future life I shall be greatly amused.' "?London Spectator. Colophon. Colophon was a city of ancient Ionia, nine miles north of Ephesus, and near the sea. It was said to be the birthplace of Homer, and near it was a famous oracle of Apollo. The Greek proverb, "To put a colophon-to it," meaning to end an affair handsomely, ~is exI plained by Strabo as arising from a ! belief that the cavalry of Colophon was so excellent in quality that their charge was always decisive in a battle. Hence '4 arose the custom of calling any device < or monogram or printer's name or sign 4 ; or date of printing in old printed books < a colophon in the sense of a definite, 4 satisfactory end. j Tycho Brahe. J 1 It was the great eclipse of Aug. 21, 4 1560, that turned Tycho Brahe into an astronomer. He was in his fourteenth year at the time, a Danish boy of noble origin, and had been destined first j for the army and then for the law. J But the accuracy with which the eclipse was predicted impressed him with the belief that astronomy was a divine thing, and thenceforward he de- 1 voted his life to it The debt of astronomy to Tycho Brahe not only for his own work, but as the man who shaped the genius of Kepler, can scarcely be overestimated.

The board of directors held a meeting { immediately after the meeting of stock- j Holders adjourned and elected H. C. Polk as president and G.
