Mishlxan Israel sabbath school.

Interesting Exercises at the Atheneum
 Last Evening-A P1easant Entertain-
 menf.
 The Mishkan Israel Sabbath school con
 neeted with the Court street synagogue gave
 very interesting entertainment at the
 Atheneum last evening under the direction of
 MT. Louis Hood, graduate of Yale College,
 and Mr. Seligman Zunder. The programme
 opened with piano duett, followed by an
 address of welcome by Master Simon Good
 hart, eight years of age, who delivered the address with as much dignity as person of more mature years. Then followed the song 'sGoodness of God" by the Sabbath school, numbering about two hundred voices. A recitation, 'sThe Tear" by Rosa Mayer fol- lowed, and then came other interesting exer- cises, in which Clara and Henrietta Feuch- twanger, Amelia Williams, Lilie Kleeberg, Theresa Kahn, Rosa Mendoza, Hattie Myers,
 Louis Mann, Milton Veil, T. Metzger, Della Zunder and T. Sonnenberg took part in a most acceptable manner. The recitation, 'sDos Gewitter,'' by Adalia Adler was very
 fine. Sarah Oppenheimer, Hattie Myers and Alfred Goldberg took their parts with much satisfaction while the singing of the Asher children, Susie and Hattie, made all the
 children very happy, and an encore obliged
 them to again appear, when they most pret.. tily rendered Columbia" Ida Johnson rep
 resenting the Goddess of Liberty" On the conclusion of the programme presents were
 distributed among the children of the school,
 and parents and children separated in most pleasant and happy mood.
 The teachers in the Sabbath school, who | by their efforts added much to the interest of l the occasion, are Otto Schram, Frederick ! Morris, Abraham Asher, Gustave Berish, George Linde, Frederick Adler, Charles Ul- 1 man, Annie Ullmrn, Miss Kohn and Miss Mailer.
 Taken altogether it was a very pleasing entertainment and reflects much credit upon
 the managers of the Mishkan Israel Sabbath ! school.

The short Days of Winter.


 Tomorrow the sun enters Capricorn, and the astronomical winter begins. These are the shortest days of the year in our henni- sphere, and at the North Pole the middle of the long Arctic night is reached, while it is midday at the South Pole. The entrance of the sun into the Sign of the Goat was the sig nal for the ancient Greek and Phoenician sailors to prepare for hurricanes and ship wrecks. Aratus, in his famous poem on as- tronomy, thus expresses the sailors dread of the winter solstice:
 'tBe it ne'er thy lot in that month to be tossed
 On the mid ocean neither by the day
 Far sailest thou, for few the hours of light, Nor early on thy peyils breaks the dawn, For all thy invocations; pitiless Siroccos lash the main when Capricorn Lodges the sum-"
 Having reached it's furthest southern limit, the sun will, after Tuesday, begin it's journey northward. For this reason Capricorn was anciently called ''the goal that turns the sum- ''

the time now allowed shortened OF to bring suit
against the Inspector for any damage resulting from

of hopper bottom scows by which the garbage could
be dumped within two minutes, Mr. Sully SAID
that if the Stree,-CleanDg Department was con
