parts of the globe, and seen*
to possess a remarkable facility for accli-
matization, even under the most unfa-
vorable circumstances. Mesopotamia is
considered th« mother country of the
Abrahamic family, as well as the cradle
of the human race. Some years ago a
email colony of Jews were found in the
ancient city of Sennar, in the south of
Mesopotamia, and in the vicinity of
ancient Babylon. Of the seventy fami- uAyjkv
lies composing the colony one claimed to Zii
be descended from King Joachim, the 'manutactured
rest from the house of Levi. A colony
of Jews appear to have settled in China
about the beginning of the Third century
of the Christian era, under the dynasty
of Han. In 1704 Father Gouzani, a
Roman Catholic missionary, found seven
families near Pekin.
In 1080 a Portuguese Jew of Amster-
dam, named De Pavia, discovered a sect
of Jews in Cochin China. According to
a tradition preserved among them, they
were descended from a tribe of Jews who
had quitted Palestine on the destruction
of the second temple. From their long
residence in Cochin they had become
completely bronzed. These are not the
same as the Malabar Jews. The Jewish
traveler Benjamin, sometimes called Ben-
jamin the Second, discovered a colony of
Jews, evidently of Persian origin, in
Hindostan. They were known as “Baby-
lonian Jews,” on account of their hav-
ing migrated from Babylonia. They ob-
served the essential rites of Judaism, and
strictly avoided intermarriage with other
sects. In the beginning of the Seven-
teenth century a Jewish colony settled in
Cayenne, in the West Indies, one of the
most inhospitable climates in South
America.
Cayenne was subsequently conquered
by the French, who made it a penal set-
tlement, and the Jewish colony was
forced to retire to Surinam. Notwith-
standing frequent persecutions, Jews are
still found in Persia, more especially to
the south of the Caspian sea, where the
soil is very fertile, but the climate very
unhealthy. The principal city is Bul-
prosh, where about 150 Jewish families
reside in almost complete isolation. They
trade with their brethren in Great Tar-
tary, and are engaged in the wool and
silk trade or in the sale of citrons. They,
too, trace their origin from the Babylo-
nian captivity, for, according to a tradi-
tion still possessed among them, their an-
cestors settled in Persia in the time of
Nebuchadnezzar, and did not respond to
the appeal of Ezra to return to Palestine.
Their mode of life resembles that of the
Persians in general. They hold the
heard in high esteem, and wear long
flowing robes. They have several syna-
gogues, and obtain scrolls of the law
from Bagdad. The celebrated African
traveler, Mungo Park, found a colony of
Jewish families in the heart of Africa,
about 800 miles from the coast. It is no
doubt this peculiarity of the Jewish race
which induced a French writer on “Medi-
cal Geography” to express the opinion
that “it is questionable whether the
crossing of human varieties confers on
the issue constant advantages in relation
to the species; for the Jewish race seems
In a wonderful manner capable of adapt-
ing itself to every change of climate,
while others are scarcely able to bear tho
least change.”
The Jew- is found in every part of the
world; in Europe, from Norway to Gib-
raltar; in Africa, from Algiers to the
Cape of Good Hope; in Asia, from
Cochin to the Caucasus; from Jaffa to
Pekin, lb- .uis peopled Australia, and
has given proofs of his powers of ac-
climatization under the tropics, where
people of European origin have constant-
ly failed to perpetuate themselves.—

An Eccentric Drug.
Among the standard medicines quoted
in the medical books of Nuremburg of
200 yearn ago are “portions of the em-
balmed Ixxlies of man’s flesh, brought
from the neighborhood of Memphis,
where there are many bodies that have
been buried for more than 1,000 years,
called murnia, which have been em-
balmed with costly salves and balsams,
and smell strongly of myrrh, aloes and
other fragrant things.”
The learned doctors of France, Ger-
many and Italy all made great use of
this "eccentric drug, and in the Seven-
teenth century grievous complaints arose
of its adulteration. M. Poinet, chief
apothecary to the French king, records
that the king’s physician went to Alex-
andria to judge for himself in this mat-
ter, and, having made friends with a
Jewish dealer in mummies, was admitted
to his storehouse, where he saw- piles of
bodies. He asked what kind of bodies
were used and how they were prepared.
The Jew informed him that ho took such
bodies as he could get, whether they died
of some disease or some contagion. He
embalmed them with the sweepings of
various old drugs, myrrh, aloes, pitch
and gum; wound them about with a cere
cloth and then dried them in an oven,
after which ho sent them to Europe, and
marveled to see the Christians were
lovers of such filthiness. But even this
revelation did not suffice to put mummy
physic out of fashion, and we know that
Francis I, of France, always carried with
him a well filled medicine chest, of which
this was the principal ingredient.— Nine-
teenth Century.

The French Canadians are a peculi
people. They can make tho best soup in
the world, they can cheat you at bar
gaining so us to make you laugh. T'icy
lie picturesquely—I think mat describes
it. I know what it means, if you don’t.
You, too, will know when you havo my
experience. Why, a French Canadian
carter or market man or > Topkeeper lies
refreshingly. There is a childish en-
thusiasm about it that captivates you.
He is an artist at it. It's a born gift—a
trace of the old Machiavellian blood,
which in the Fifteenth century made the
French diplomats tho marvel of intrigu
ing courts. He smiles as ho lies. Ho
la\ s his hand on his heart. Ho lifts his
eyes upward. He embellishes his little
lie with saintly allusions. Ho lies as if
lie beloved ! i ; own lie. Ho lies so that
he b n, ;.! his nation.—-W. H. H. Murray
