UNIQUE JEWISH TOWN WOODBINE, IN NEW JERSEY, HAS STRANGE HISTORY. Founded Twelve Years 'Ago by Hebrew He-brew Refugees from Russia Is Now a Prosperous Settlement The Only Place Governed Entirety by Jews. Woodbine, a colony of Russian Hebrews He-brews in the northern part of Cape May county, N. J., was recently organized or-ganized by the New Jersey legislature legisla-ture Into a borough with a political identity of its own. Officers were elected, and it now enjoys the distinction distinc-tion of being the only place in the world governed entirely by Jews. It was formerly a part of the township of Dennis. The colony had its beginning twelve years ago when the Russian persecution perse-cution of the Jews was at its height and when Hebrews in France and England were doing all they could to get their people out of the Czar's empire. em-pire. It was founded through the generosity gen-erosity of Baron de HIrsclu He sent three men to Cape May county in the spring of 1891 to buy land and to establish there a refuge and a home for the sufferers who were being brought to this country by the boatload and dumped into New York's already . overcrowded Ghetto. They got 5,300 acres, including all of Woodbine Wood-bine proper, which at that tlmo Consisted chiefly of three shanties, occupied oc-cupied by railroad employes. They bought all this land, but none of it had ever seen a plow and only a little was even half cleared. It was of white sandy loam, grown thick with scrub oak and stunted pine, swampy In spots and fiat, with hardly a knoll to break the monotony of the stretch almost the last place one would choose for a home and certainly about the last place an American farmer would telect The three men built cabins and did what they could in the way of clearing bits of the property. A year later thirty immigrants came to the place. None of them had any money, none sould speak much English and none knew anything about farming. They got aid from the De Hlrsch fund, slept In stables, suffered many privations and worked hard. They learned something about clearing and plowing and planting from the men who had come before them, and they got a little knowledge of American business methods from contact with merchants in the neighboring places. For the most part, though, the neighbors neigh-bors weren't enthusiastic about help- Woodbine Synagogue. Ing them. They regarded the settlement settle-ment of ragged, ignorant Immigrants near them more as an affliction than anything else. They expected to see their streets overrun with beggars and peddlers and their almhouse failed to overflowing. They had as little to do with them as possible, yet they couldn't help pitying the unfortunates who walked through their streets, in the middle of the road, carrying their hats In their hands, as they had been compelled to do In Russia, and showing in the most humble manner consciousness of their, own insignificance and abject position. But, somehow, the first settlers got a foothold, and when another batch of fifty, just as ignorant and just as ragged as the first lot got in the following fol-lowing year, those who,, were already there were in a position to help them and they did. They were, in fact, eager to aid one another Ja those days, for the harsh experiences which they had been through bore in upon their mind the firm conviction that all the rest of the world was arrayed against them and that they must stand or fall together. The process has gone on In this way ever since. Each year there have been many new arrivals, and each year those who were already settled have extended a helping hand to the others. There has, accordingly, been a steady increase in the amount of workable land, a sound, broad development develop-ment in the family life toward a good American standard and a remarkable growth in the town's educational, religious re-ligious and commercial facilities, until now the Woodbine of twelve years ago, with its three shanties and tract of undeveloped land, has been changed into a thriving Jewish community of 1,500 people, ,with factories, stores, schools and modern equipments un- A Farmer's House. surpassed by any other place in Cape May county, and with about half the original tract fit for cultivation. Through the Hirsch fund Woodbine immigrants were able to get a home and land on terms which would have been impossible under ordinary circumstances. cir-cumstances. The trustees of the fund had houses and other buildings put up and then deeded them, together with some land, over to any colonists who wanted a home and could make a cash payment of $100. The trustees took a mortgage on the property for the balance, and monthly payments of from $5 to $8 were required. They offer practically the same terms to the colonists still but are, of course, a little more particular about the details than they were then. Most of the houses are two-story frame structures, containing from five to ten rooms and furnished with many modern mod-ern Improvements. The people of the place are divided Into three pretty accurately defined groups those who work in the factories, factor-ies, those who own or are employed on the farms and those who satisfy ibe mercantile wants of the community. commun-ity. The storektepers are mostly early settlers who got money enough by Arming or worklne at odd jpbs to start little places of business or eqnir. pushcarts. They increased their stock gradually as their earnings allowed and now some have places of business so big that they venture to call them by 6'ich names as "The Bargain Store of Cape May County" and "Cape May County's Department Store." Many of the stores do a considerable credit business, and none of them, it is said, lose much by it Several of the merchants are said to be worth from $8,000 to $10,000. There are also hotelkeepers, barbers, bar-bers, bricklayers, shoemakers, carpenters carpen-ters and other artisans, besides professional pro-fessional men. The factories employ considerably more than half the working population. popula-tion.

French Method for Obtaining a Bev erage in Concentrated Form. The liquid part of wine contains light ethers, ethylic alcohol, heavy alcohol al-cohol and oils, and substances such as furfurol and aldehyde. All these products prod-ucts are poisonous. - The solids of wine are coloring matter, fixed organic acids, and mineral salts, all of which are harmless, with the exception of the lime and potash, the lime being very bad for the gouty. Now, a wine which is deprived of the heavy alcohol, oils, lime and potash should contain no Injurious elements. According to L'lllustratlon, it seems that Dr. Garrigou of Toulouse has been able to obtain this result by concentrating con-centrating wine in a vacuum, this process pro-cess taking away the cooked taste which ordinary heat produces. In this way wine may be reduced to a dry powder, and if then the powder be placed in water or ethylic alcohol, all the properties of the wine are recovered, recov-ered, with the exception of the poisonous pois-onous elements. By this process there Is obtained a perfectly harmless wine, which may be kept indefinitely, and which is handled readily. Philadelphia Philadel-phia Record. SNAKE THAT SWALLOWED A PIG. And His Remarkable Gluttony Cost Him His Life. A gentleman living in Java reports that a big snake was recently shot in a ricefleld at the back of his bungalow after It had just swallowed a live pig. The reptile was thick and long, measuring meas-uring eight feet from teeth to tall, but even considering his size, the big meal must have caused him considerable consider-able inconvenience, for when discovered discov-ered he was unable to make his escape es-cape and he fell an easy victim to the 6kln-hunting natives. Snakes in Java are not killed because they are a menace to human life, but simply because be-cause of the commercial value of their skins. Enormous Cost of High Speed. The cost of extra knots of high speed was elucidated by recent experiments experi-ments with a new armored British cruiser, Cape of Good Hope, of 14,100 tons. On her eight-hour trial she made a mean speed of 23.05 knots. Her coal expenditure for various speeds was plotted with surprising results. To go from 11.5 knots to 23 knots needed, roughly, 26,000 additional horse power, while the last knot alone absorbed 8,621 horse power. That is to say, to progress from 22 to 23 knots needed as much power as the total required to drive the ship at about 16 knots; or, to put it in still another way, the power needed to drive the Cape of Good Hope at full speed would propel pro-pel two similar vessels at about 19 knots. The coal consumption at full speed was, roughly, twenty-six tons per hour; at 19 knots about 11 tons per hour. Again, at full speed the ship would steam 0.85 knot for each ton of coal burned, while at 19 knots the distance would be double for a similar consumption- of fuel. Easy Divorce In Old Times. The code of King Khammurabi of Assyria, whose date Is approximately 2200 B. C, which has been deciphered from a pillar discovered a year or two ago at Susa, deals exhaustively with the subject of divorce. One of the most interesting clauses is the following: follow-ing: "If the wife of a man who dwells In the bouse of that man has set her face to go forth, and has acted the fool, and wasted his house, and Impoverished Impov-erished his house, they shall call her to account If the husband shall say, I put her away, he shall put her away. She shall go her way ; for ier divorce he shall give her nothing." Ever-Growing Teeth. Certain animals have teeth which grow all their lives. The vat and the squirrel are examples of this. Human teeth are developed from pulps, which are absorbed and disappear after the teeth are grown; but in the case of a rat the tooth pulp is perpetual, and is continually secreting material by which it gains length.. Therefore the animal is obliged to gnaw all the time to keep the tooth down to its proper length. It Is commonly believed that rats keep gnawing out of pure mis-cuief, mis-cuief, but such is not the case. Tall Birds. In a public park at Calcutta are several sev-eral birds of the adjutant species. They are the storks of the East Indies, In-dies, and average about 6 feet in height.

The only difference between black and white pepper Is that the former has not been stripped of the outer skin of the berry before grinding. Vowel "E" Has Many Sounds.

He Is such an early-to-bed-and-early-to-rise . sort of monarch, so simple and kindly and ?iard working, that any one who has an opportunity for getting a glimpse at his doings carries away the idea of a fine old country squire whose chief business in life is the welfare of his tenants.

Among the new colors are the delicate soft rush and palm greens, cramoisi and grena dier reds, the lovely scale of violets, Sevres blue, cornflower, platinum gray, Cossack green, which is nearly black, and the more subdued shades, such as beaver, fawn and oyster. Plain velvet is preferred for elaborate and ceremonious costumes, but for day frocks there is absolutely no limi to choice. Gift for a Bride. A very practical bridal gift was re cently made by a clever girl, and tucked into the traveling bag of the young wife. This is what it was: A little bag of dainty flowered ribbon, lined with soft pink silk. The bottom, oval in shape, was stiffened with cardboard, card-board, and the top was shirred and tied with narrow pink ribbon. Inside were spools of thread, needles, pins, thimble and a tiny pair of scissors. The whole affair was very small and the contents only intended for emer gency use the stitch in time. Just an ordinary sewing bag, to be sure, but a priceless boon to the bride, who blessed the giver many times over when she tore the braid off her dress and found the small condensed workshop work-shop ready to help out. A New Kind of Nougat. Put three-quarters of a pound each of granulated sugar and strained honey in a saucepan, place over a gentle fire and boil until quite brittle. Add the beaten white of one large egg. Then stir in a little orange essence, if the mixture is not sticky, and mix in three-quarters of a pound , of sweet almonds, blanched and dried. Mix well together and spread out on oiled papers in layers two inches thick; place between two boards and put a heavy weight on top and let remain until cold, then cut in short, narrow strips.

Girl's Gibson Dress; So-called Gibson dresses, or those made with plaits over the shoulders that give a broad effect, always are becoming to little girls and are much in style. This stylish one combines the familiar waist with a side" plaited sUIrt and is both new and attractive. The plaits are wide and extend over the shoulders, concealing the arms-eye arms-eye seams, but are so laid as to give a tapering effect to the figure. The closing is made invisibly at the left shoulder and beneath the plait at the DEBUTANTES' GOWNS OF THIS SEASON. left side of the front. The sleeves are in bishop style with straight cuffs. The skirt is laid in backward turning side plaits that meet at the back and form a wide box plaited effect at the front. It is seamed at the waist and closes at the left of the center beneath be-neath the plait. The quantity of material required for the medium size (8 years) is 5Yz yards 27 inches wide of 34 yards 44 inches wide.- Silk Mull for Summer. Silk mull is to be one of the dress materials for the season not only for evening gowns but also for almost any afternoon occasion. Silk mull is really strong and does not crush and will stand much wear. If the color is good and u is judiciously trimmed one can keep such a dress all summer In fair condition. It does not crush or grow limp. By judicious trimming is meant the trimming around the bottom bot-tom 6hould be something that can be removed for cleaning or else be black lace. v Sailor Hat Flowers. Nasturtiums, glowing with orange, scarlet, marigold yellow and tawny russet tints "are grouped in a large bunch toward the left side of a dark-blue dark-blue sailor hat. This sailor is not of straw, but of dark-blue linen, lined with crinoline and further stiffened by the application of several lines of machine ma-chine stitching, which follow the contour con-tour of a rather wide brim. A narrow nar-row bias-cut band of linen is tightly drawn around the crown. There is no other trimming of any kind. Airy Fashions. Fashion seems averse to anything cumbersome or heavy in the way of trimming. Small flowers arranged in airy sprays and garlands are popular. Hats this spring will be faced with silk or gauze flower petals. For bows, the thinnest of taffeta, gauze, mousse-line mousse-line and lace are most In request. In fact, Dame Fashion has decreed that this is to be an airy, gossamer summer. sum-mer. Collars of Mechlin Lace. Round, deep collars of white taffeta, appliqued with Mechlin lace, are among the dressy novelties that are Intended to adorn foulard silk frocks for the "coming spring and summer season. A Dainty Morning Gown. A very dainty morning gown is made in two piecesf. The skirt is made of white dotted swiss muslin trimmed with two deep, snaped ruffles, the ruf-lies ruf-lies being edged with pale blue taffeta bands. The sacque is of pIe blue taffeta, with a broad collar of the taffeta edged with dotted swiss, and deep turn-over cuffs of the same od the bell sleeves. It is fastened it. ifront by white porcelain uuttoiis decorated witi pink rose bud". Becoming Coral. Delicate pink coral is exceedingly becoming to all complexions. This probably accounts for the popularity of this exquisite jewelry. In collarettes, collar-ettes, brooches, guard chains and necklaces it continues to be the rage, and as it is becoming to be a little scarce, It is likely, on that account to be more of a favorite than ever with the feminine world. Not only do wee women love strings of these dainty pink beeds, but their mammas as well delight to deck themselves with ropes of them. Stick pins of every description are made from coral, and in dark tresses ornaments of it are particularly effective. Even finger fin-ger rings have been set with this work of the Southern Insect. How Plumes Are Worn. Tne long feather trailing down one side of a hat at the back of the ear is going out, and it is now the thing to have one on each side of the hat, if the latter be of the flat, broad-brimmed broad-brimmed style. Many of the plumes worn thus resemble aigrettes turned upside down. A Dainty Little Frock. A pretty model for a ten-Year-old girl is of yellow and white linen. With bands of black Russian embroidery, A single band borders the short, full skirt. The bodice is blouse shaped, with a sauare cut neck ODenins over a guimpe of fine all-over embroidery. The square opening is outlined 'by a band of the embroidery. The belt Is of the embroidery and two rows ornament or-nament the puffed sleeves. Simple Dinner Frock. This simple dinner frock for summer sum-mer wear is made of white organdi figured with pale pink wild roses, the lightest of green foliage and is trimmed with lace. ' The frills are of white net, with embroidered edges and twists of rose colored liberty satin ribbon head the skirt flounces, and are used both to hold the skirt flounces, and are used both to hold the bodice in place and at the elbows. , Simplicity is hardly the keynote of the debutante's gown this year. Plaids as trimming are much seen ana are to be had in velvet and panne as well as silk and wool. For evening wear it is considered very modish to have, shoes and stockings stock-ings to match the gown worn. Black and white is very smart for evening gowns, a touch of color being supplied by very large roses of chiffon or velvet. Fur yokes show in a few of the handsomer street gowns, with which fur-trimmed hats and large muffs are saaxt.details. i |
