OURSELVES.

Possibly it is not good taste to make personal allusions, but we are such an excessively young firm that it may be pardoned. We cannot point with pride to a long and distant past-we cannot even refer to last year; but we can plant six feet on the living present and serve your interests with as much pleasure and profit as our more ancient and respect ed competitors. Our stock is even newer than ourselves, and it may interest you to know that our ambition is a trIffe larger than the commercial field we hope to occupy. We are a bit overanxious to place your orders on our brand new order book, and to feel the weight of your sil- yer in our pockets. Perhaps you will find it convenient and profit able to allow us an opportunity to do both.

WHAT IS MEANT BY JUDAISM.

A Large Gathering of Hebrews and
 Gentiles Yesterday Morning in the
 Court Street Temple-A Most Inter-
 esting Lecture by Dr. Kleebere.
 There were more Christians than He brews present yesterday morning in the Court street temple at the Sunday morn ing lecture delivered by Rev. Dr. Kleeberg. The attendance was unusually large. Among the number were many Yale theo- logical students. The doctor took as his subject "What is Meant by Judaism" :" The question, he said, has been asked again and again, but never satisfactorily answered, and from the very nature of the case it cannot be. This is so because Ju- l daism has ever been in constant state of l change. It was different in the times of | Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, etc. It present ed different aspect in the middle ages, and in the present it is in transitory state | What the future will be no one can pre- dict. He asked the question, What is meant by ideal Judaism!
 The Talmud answers this question in 8 way which should satisfy orthodox and reformed Jews alike. It says ''The entire law of God comprises six hundred l and thirteen commandments; David re- duced these to eleven; to be found in the l 18th Psalm. In chapter 33 of Isaiah they l are condensed to six and the prophet Micah still further shortens them tc 1 three. In the Second Isaiah in chap
 ter 56 they are reduced to two and the prophet Amos in chapter 1 five has them in the one sentence, "Seeb me and ye shall live." The speaker laid | great emphasis on the two points which are of prominent interest. Namely, that the ethical element in the passages quoted
 is the all absorbing feature and the other point was the question raised by Davic
 and the prophets; namely, what sacrifice
 would be most acceptable in the sight o1 God and what shall we do to draw nearer to him? The answer invariably is the full l filment of ones duties toward his fellow
 men. Everything for man and nothing
 for God.
 The prophet Micah asks, 'Wherewitf
 shall come before the Lord; bow mysel
 before the most highs" And he answers
 sIt is told that o, man, what is good ane
 what the Lord requires of thee, simply tt
 do justice, to love mercy, and to wall
 humbly with thy God" Mark here, sait
 the speaker, something positive for man for God the negative sufices. From thi l we see that Judaism rests chiefly on l foundation of ethics.

The Fork Is Overworked.

Why should the fork be preferred before
the spoon in the absorption of pudding,
diaphanous in itself, and whose chief claim
upon the palate's appreciation is the thin
ner sauce which accompanies and glorifies
it? How wearying and unsatisfactory it
is to do justice to such food with the fork!
The spoon is the only proper sensible vehi-
Gle With the spoon each mouthful of
pudding is anointed with its modicum of
sauce, and when you have finished your
pudding you have not the modification of
gazing into your saucer and seeing there
sauce which the fork is powerless to carry
to your tantalized mouth. When it comes
to pudding and pudding sauce the fork is
an abomination. Give US, say we, the
spoon, whatever etiquette may say to the
contrary.
The fork is overworked also in the eat
ing of peas, succotash and impid food of
that sort. Instead of chasing one poor pea
around your plate with the impotent fork,
and finally having to head off its flight
with bit of bread, why not drop the fork
and utilize the convenient and sensible
spoon? Why should etiquette despoil eat
ing of its comforts and its joyss The fork
is all right up to certain point; but there
is such thing as the fork being over
worked.-BostoD Transcript.

Held In Memory.

We need tact quite as much as sympathy
when we speak of death; the death more
particularly of some one dear to friend or &C.
Quaintance. Grief, to an almost abnormal
degree, sharpens the sensibilities, and by q
curious law of the mind difficult to COM
prehend, it creates in the individual a GER
tain acuteness, a certain fastidiousness, as
it were, by which in many cases he becomes
alive not so much to the sympathy ex-
pressed as to the form in which that SYM
pathy has been proffered. In other words,
the mind of the sufferer has for the time
being become as sensitive to impressions as
that of a sick person, and as ready to be
hurt by trif1es. The very tone of the voice
may jar, and one be hurt by mournful
cadence, and the other by note of hope,
or we'll meant but i'll chosen words in let
tiers be as often cause for pain as the
"creaking of clumsy boots" to fever strick
en- patients.
Happily, benefcent nature in her own
time heals snch sorrow, and the part of
the friendly counselor, till that time be
come, is little better than intrusion. It is
when the attitude of the mind becomes
conventionalized, form of grief crystal
lied into definite rules of observance, that
the outsider desires to make protestr-as
when mourner waits a year to the day
before drawing up the window shades or
admitting visitors; or as when only out Of
town invitations are accepted; or one will
listen to music but draw the line at the
drama. Yet even here there is so little
that is vital to which to make appeal that
avoidance of the subject seems rather the
easier way.-Harper's Bazaar.

Too Much Kindness.

Alone in the World.

The man who has no family ties, no SYM
pathizing companions, no genial relations
with his fellow men is very properly said
to be "alone in the world" But such ut

lition. Even the unfortunate who has out

firing from the world. The more fools

but they cannot so well do without the

For an afternoon tea Harpers Bazaar
tells that the hostess sees that her rooms
are in their best looks, fills few vases
with fresh flowers to give festal air. sets
a round table in her drawing room, library
or in the dining room, if these apartments
are en- suite, draws up her prettest cups
and saucers and plates in battle array. and
invites a few young girls or intimate
friends to assist her. They wear either
pretty house costumes or dainty tea
gowns. For refreshments are provided tea
and chocolate. possibly bouillon, bread and
butter or tiny sandwiches, and plenty of
light cakes. The eating is a secondary
matter, the raison d'etre of the company
being the desire for pleasant social inter
course in an informal fashion.
