LOW DEATH RATE AMONG JEWS.
Mortality increase: Wherever Jews
Mix With Gentile Neighbors.
’lhe information supplied by the
Jewish Encyclopedia under the head
ing of “Mortality," unfolds numerous
surprises. The fact that a majority
of Jews are known to live in over-
crowded and unsanitary sections of
Europe and America would seem to
suggest that a higher rate of mortal-
ity prevails among them than among
their Gentile neighbors, but'the stat-
istics available show conclusively that
the death rates among the Jews are
much lower than those of the races
and the peoples among whom they
dwell. Infant: mortality among Jews
in comparison with the mortality of
infants of other races is very low.
Nearly one»fifth' of all the legitimate
children of Gentiles die before they
attain their fifth year, yet the mortal-
'ity of children of ”Jewish parentage
is less than one-sixth of the number
of births. in London the death rate
among Jewish children from one to
five. years of age is only 10 per cent,
but among Gentile children of the
same age it reaches 14 per cent. From
statistical evidence it has been cslnir
lisbed that districts mostly inhabited
by the immigrant Jews, such as New
York, Philadelphia. Boston, and Bill»
timore, show the lowest mortality
among infants and children. This
low mortality among Jews is ascribed
to social causes, confirmed by the fact
that the death rates are smallest in
countries Where they live isolated
from their non-Jewish neighbors and
pursue their mode of life according
to the traditions of their belief. Yet
wherever Jews mil; and assimilate
with their Gentile neighbors and
adopt their mode of life their death
rate increases. '
“8weei:ening" Wood.
The newest method of curing tim‘
bcr quickly for joiner work, pianos,
etc., is to sweeten it. The process,
which was invented by an Englishman
named Powell, is described by United
States Consul'Atwell, in Roubalx,
France:
“Powell replaces the sap of trees
by beet sugar and saccharine. which
acts as a. preservative by driving the ,
natural humidity from the fibres.
Newly felled wood is laid on a. wagon-
ette, which is rolled into a. huge cyl
inder. the interior of which is provid-
ed with pipes. The wood having been
placed in the cylinder, the latter is
supplied with sugar or saccharine.
Hot water is then forced through. the
pipes. The heat boils the sugar,
which penetrates the pores ‘of the
wood. Cooling is accomplished by
cold water forced through the pipes.
The cylinder is emptied of the sugar
or saccharine and the wagoncttc is
rolled into a special room, where the
wood is dried by currents of hot air.
After being cooled again, the wood
properly seasoned by ther‘sugar, is
ready for use. It is said not to spring
or gather dampness and to be proof
against destruction by ,lnsects.
How to Listen to Music.
Peoplo often get. intensely excited
in iistening_to music—letting their
emotions run rampant and sutfering
inconsequenc'e a painful reaction of
fatigue. If they would learn to yield
so that the music could pass over
their nerves as it passes over the
strings of a musical instrument. and
then. with the new life‘snd vigor de
rived from the enjoyment. would turn .
to some useful work, they would find
a great expansion in the enjoyment of
the music as well as It new pleasure.
If we enjoy good
in their wprk. 4
music and out over our personal
pleasure in map to speak, it takes
the life out of us. If we let the music .
carry us along instead of trying, in our
excitement, to carry the music. it
