The history of the Sassoons is one
of the most dramatic in the very
dramatic story of the Hebrew race.
The original Sassoon was a Bombay
merchant, but the family is de-
scended from a group known as Ibn
Shoshan, who at one time held the
position of nossi of Toledo. The
name Shoshan, which signifies “lily”
in Hebrew, was gradually trans-
formed into Sassoon, signifying
“gladness.” The family claim Da-
vidic descent, and Abraham Sassoon,
who flourished in the seventeenth
century, stated that he was a direct
descendant of Shephatiah, the fifth
son of David. Hot only are there
many references to the name in He-
brew medieval literature, but men-
tion of it is made in the Tainrad.
WHY 8HE LENGTHENS ROPES.
Once npon a time a Girl who had
a Good Job and a Big Salary, and
no one But herself to Spend it On,
Got Married to a Tight Wad. She
never Complained to her Friends,
being Proud and Reserved, But it is
Noticed that whenever She sees a
Cow or a Calf tied in a Field with a
Short Rope, with the Grass eaten off
as far as their Mouths can Reach,
she Sheds a Silent Tear of Sym-
pathy, and then Lengthens their
Ropes.—Atchison Globe.

SEAMEN SCARCE IN ENGLAND.
Ten years ago it was estimated
that while during the preceding half
century the British merchant ton-
nage had almost trebled, the num-
ber of British seamen engaged in
the mercantile marine had decreased
by 25 per cent, and the boys and
young men by 85 per cent. In 1857
there were 96,914 petty officers and
sailors, not including Lascars, em-
ployed in the mercantile marine of
the United Kingdom; in 1875 it
was estimated that there were 82,-
000; in 1889 the estimated number
had fallen to 60,709, while in 1901
there were only 44,290.

In the northeastern comer of the
Tyrol is the best skee-ground in Eu-
rope. writes Mr. W. A. Baillie-Groh-
man in “Tyrol.” The region has
many lofty peaks, which make
mountain climbing of interest. The
author gives one of his adventures
on a peak near the village of Kitz-
buhel.
On one of these peaks occurred to
me many years ago a little adventure
which gave me an opportunity of ad-
miring the grand view rather longer i
than was pleasant.
1 was out stalking chamois, and
having some unoccupied hours in the
middle of the day, when stalking is
practically useless, as the beasts are
resting, I thought I. would ascend
one of those pinnacles upon which
at that time few human beings, I
suppose, had ever set foot-
The very last bit was a sthooth-
faced rock not more than 12 feet
high, but absolutely unclimbable it
unaided by rope, or another man,
upon whose shoulders one could get.
and so obtain a hand-grip of the
top, and thus draw oneself up. As
I was alone, I had recourse to a
short length of rope I had in my
rucksack. Making a slip-noose, I
threw it upward till it gripped some
projection. Then I drew myself up.
While looking about me, an un-
fortunate movement of my legs,
which were dangling over the brink
as 1 sat, caused the rope to slip and
fall down to the small ledge on
which I had stood when flinging it
upward. This ledge, or band of
rock, was uncomfortably narrow, not
wider than 30 inches, and the abyss
below was a perpendicular wall four
or five church steeples in depth.
At first it did not seem such a
serious fix to be in. By letting my-
self drop to the ledge, my extended
arms gripping the top, the distance
between the soles of my feet and the
ledge was not more than four feet
or so—nothing to speak of if that
yawning gulf had not been there
and I had had boots on my feet. But
having taken these off and left them
below, together with my coat and
rifle, I should have to drop on to
sharp rocks barefooted, and hence
would be very apt to lose my bal-
ance.
The more I considered the posi-
tion the more I funked that drop,
and to make a long story short, I
stayed on that pinnacle two nights,
until the morning of the third day,
before hunger drove me to risk the
drop, which I did in safety.
How I got down the remainder of
that descent, “shinning” down chim-
neys and creeping along narrow
edges, was a mystery to me after-
ward, for I was faint with hunger,
and my knees trembled and shook
under me. When 1 reached the first
habitation, where I happened to be
known, the peasant women at the
door hardly recognized me.

PUBLICITY
HALF OF THE CAPITAL
Gu* Frey, of St. Louis, says of Advertising:
‘ ‘It pays a man to pay for the best ad-
vertising and to see to it that he gets his
money’s worth. It pays the man who is
selling advertising to see to it that he gives
what he offers to give, to know that a patron
gets satisfaction, Then there’ll be more
advertising and plenty of it, for the EIGHT
ADVERTISING PAYS, REGARDLESS OF
COST.”
He declared for an advertising man in
©very business house, one person responsi-
ble for the publicity of all of it.
“That’s what makes things go,” he
said, “and if I was starting anew I’d give
half of the money to the advertising man.”
