LIBERAL JUDAISM. At the recent

Hebrew Covenanters, in New York
noteworthy address was delivered
by Mr.. Greenbaum, ofChicago, which
was received with general approval,

made the Jews peculiar people. He
declared that the purpose of the Or

make them good citizens, and so add
their quota to a Godlike humanity
"The hope" he said. "of uniting at
Jerusalem, building the temple, and
expecting the reign of the coming
Messiah has ceased TO be a test OF
Judaism" The faith and principles
of the Hebrews now, he said were
in the words "Hear, Oh Israel the
Lord our God is one Lord and thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heort, mind, soul, strength, and
thy neighbor as myself J" and "Do
unto others as you would have 9TH

horsemen Whenever they see their
horse directing his ears to any point
whatever, or indicating the slightest
disposition TO become afraid, let
them, instead of pulling the rein to
bring the horse toward the object
causing its nervousness, pull it on
the other side. This will instantly
divert the attention of the horse
from the object which is exciting his
suspicion, and in ninety>nine cases
out Of hundred the horse will pay
no more attention to the object from
which he will fly away If forcibly
driven to il by pulling the wrong
rein.

How TO FIX THE CLOCK.
Country Gentleman contains the fol>
lowing: When your clock stops
don't take it to the repair shop
until you have tried the following -
Take off the pointers and the face :;
take off the pendulum and it's wire.
Remove the ratchet from the tick
Wheel and the clock will run down
with great velocity. Let it go. The
increased speed wears away the
gum and dust from the pinion-the
clock cleans itself. fyou have any
pure sperm oil, put the least bit on
the axles. Put the machine togeth-
er, and nine times out of ten it will
run just as we'll as if it had been tax
en- to the shop. In fact, this is the
way most shopmen clean clocks. If
instead of pendulum the clock has
watch escapment, this latter can
be taken out in an instant without
taking the works apart, and the re-
suit is the same

Light travels $4,000 miles per
second. Red light has 80, 900 waves
TO an inch. Hence, 474, 439, $50, 600.
900 of the waves of single ray strike
the eye each second Many millions
OF rays are bombarding it at the
same time, and yet the retinna re-
ceives, dissects and comprehends
them all.
At the above given velocity of
light, it takes ten years for it to
reach us from 81 cygni, the nearest
fixed star. The suns composing the
milky way are 10000 times more
distant; hence their light is 100. 900
years in its flight to us. Some of
the nebulae are 500 times more re-
mote than the milky way and con-
sequently their light must be Co.,
600, 600 years on its journey to us
As the light Of the nebulae does
reach US, it follows that those stars
existed where they now appear sixty
millions OF years ago.
