DAY 0F ATONEMENT. WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK WILL BE A SOLEMN
 FAsT DAY.
OBSERVED BY HEBREWS
Many Business Houses Will Be Closed and There Will Be
 Special Services = at the syna-
 gogue.

Wednesday of this week will be the most solemn fast day of the Jewish calender. Yom Kippnrim. or the Day of Atonement; indeed this day Is the only fast day enjoined by the Mosaic law" saya the Mem- phis SciRitar. Its observance !s universally observed by the hosts oi Irsael today in all parts of the world where the chosen people are scatter- ed.
 Many features of the ancient re- ligion have been done away In mod ern times, especially among what Is known as the liberal or reformed branch of Judaism. But the solemn Day of Atonement K still kept by all classes of Jews. On this day it is incumbent on all faithful Israelites to keep rigid fast. to close their places of business. to abstain from all worldly pursuits and to exercise themselves in prayer and other acts Of devotion.
 It Is said that the American Jews are less faithful to the requirements of their religion Or rather more in- clined to be dereliet in the obsery- ance of lts feasts and lasts than those in any other part of the world. While 1t may, therefore, be possible to find some Jewish business houses open on Yom Kippurim in this country, such a failure to conform to the law of their religion Is unknown in any other land.
 The history of the institution of thls ancient fast day will be found in both LoYiticus and Numbers. In the sixteenth chapter of Levlticus minute directions for frs observance are to he found. Here k laand the commandment to the chosen people to keep the day forever sacred, q commandment which the chosen people have observed ever since, though in modern times some details of the prescribed ritual have been modified Burnt offerings are no longer made, Of course. and no blood of goats is sprinkled about the altar when the priest makes atonement for himself, his household and his congregation
 Though the ritual has thus been modified, the day has lost none ofits spiritual significance. The services of YomKippurim onsist of penitentl- nj offices in which the people declare their repentance of past sins and their resolution to walk in the path Of righteousness, praying divine guidance and aid.

Ranch Life,

1t is so difficult to imagine young
American voluntarily choosing ranch
as a start in life that it is hardly worth
while trying to do so. AS rule he
either thinks of the country as the place
where market vegetables come from
and Thanksgiving turkeys are raised,
or else it represents to him large and
expensive establishment at Lakewood
or some such place, with q casino and
bowling alley and polo team attached.
And as for the most part the American
does not play polo nor hunt nor shoot
nor fish with any real, genuine en-
thusiasm, the latter view he takes is
scarcely more alluring than the former.
Down deep in his heart he knows that
he would much rather be trying to run
an electric railway or a bank or build-
ing bridges or losing money i'll Wall
street than to be doing any of those
things. But the young Englishman is
entirely different. He has always known
and enjoyed outdoor sports. It is the
life he likes best, and he imagines that
ranch life is, first and foremost, a sport
ing life.-Abbe Carter Goodloe in Scrib-

THE MYSTERY OF A MINE.

Crazy Man Turns Up in the "'Bad
Lands" Loaded with Wealth.
The claim made again that the famous
Lost Cabin" gold mine has been found
recalls the fact that the mine has been
found" before. The Lost Cabin mine
is in the bad Lands" in Wyoming, near
the headwaters of the Big Horn river,
about 60 miles from Fort Washalli. In
1874 five men set out from the fort to
prospect. A few weeks after one OF
them, with his pockets full of nuggets,
wandered back to the fort. His mind
was completely gone. All he could
murmur was lost cabin" Expeditions
were at once sent out, but no trace was
found of the mine or the missing men,
who, it was supposed, were killed. by In
dams. In 1884 a cowboy rode into Fort
Washaki and said that he had found
the Lost Cabin by accident. As every
one believed that the Lost Cabin mine
was fabulously rich, a crowd was soon
ready to start with the discoverer. They
found a decaying log cabin, with four
skeletonsino or near it, and tunnel sunk
in the hillside. The ore was black and
heavy and the first man who got out
with mule load never went back, for
the assay showed no trace of gold, moth
ing but plumbago. The news of the
finding of Lost Cabin got out, and for
months miners flocked there, only TO
be disappointed. After awhile the ex-
element died out, and the oldmine was
deserted. But still the problem re-

AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

An IdyI of Chicago Written by the Other

His breath " as scarce flicker and his heart
now barely stirred.
The man from Johnson's morgue remarked,
II am Jonah If

The lamplight fell upon the form so pitilessly
crushed,
And every eye was moist with tears and every
voice was hushed,

CHAIRS IN MANY STYLES.
Big WarerOOms Containing Chairs in
Hundreds and No Two Alike.

Hundreds and No Two Alike.
With the great development of the
furniture industry in this country
there has come about in recent years a
subdivision of it into branches for
greater facility and economy of pro-
duction. Thus there are manufactur-
ers who confine themselves to special
lines of goods, as desks, tables, chairs,
and so on, and these may sometimes
be further subdivided, manufacturers
6evoting themselves to particular kinds
OF grades. Of chairs, for example, there
are hundreds of manufactures in the
United States, many of them large es-
Establishments. The present total pro-
duction of chairs in this country is
about 100000 annually, says the New
York Sun. ....
While the manufacture of chairs is
much subdivided, there may be in
chairs of one kind, that is, of the same
materials and made by the same
processes of manufacture, many styles,
and there are some establishments that
produce chairs in great variety. There
are single concerns that make as many
as 500 different styles, and so in the
wholesale furniture district of the city
there may be found large warerooms
filed with chairs alone, the floor COW
cred with them in long lines and the
walls hung with them-hundreds of
chairs, no two alike.

In his paper, the Sviet, the Russian
general Komaroff publishes an article
which contains the following remark.
able passage, says the London News.
1.-THE east, with all it's countries, as
China, Persia, Beluchistan and even In
dia, is by the will of Providence des-
tined for the Russian people. Sooner
or later the east will be ours. In or
Ger, however, to attain this object we
must guard our positions in the west,
and must be strong there, too. All our
efforts must be directed there, all our
thoughts and talents. There we must
show themselves genuine Russians. We
must thwart the German intrigues and
German tricks emanating from Ber-
lin, and have sharp eye to our real
foes. If we retreat in the west, we
lose everything in the east. Now in
the west matter comes to decision
which is for US of vital Importance,
namely, the question of the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles. The straits must
by all means come into our possession
for the sake of securing peace in the
south, and for the sake of our own de-
velopment-nay, even existence. In
the straits we must be as strong as on
the Vistula and in the Baltic. Inpreserv-
ing for ourselves the west we must
above all be Slavs, and we must keep
alive the consciousness of relationship
in all the people of Slavonic nationality
up to the Adriatic, those people being
our real prop and support in the
struggle against the greatest foe of our
nation, namely, Germanism."
