against abuse were Of the character as in the
Bevis Marks Synagogue. The wardens and other of
cers elected by vestry which consisted chiefly
of members who had themselves previously served in
one or other of those Offices; and the rules against
the election of relations to at the same time
practically the at Bevis Marks.
The spirit which governed the method Of election
further manifested in the regulations concerning
the acceptance of office by those who were chosen to
it. As has just been said the post of warden of the
synagogue not sought from apopular electorate,
but was bestowedby men who had themselves served
the office those whom they deemed their most fit
ting successors and therefore, the discharge of the
functions of the office regarded not as privi-
lege which man might accept, or not, according
to his tastes but duty which no man was en-
titled to decline, if once he had been requested to
take it. And this view of the m after was enforced
by stringent rules No member, according to the
Ascamot of Bevis Marks, could refuse to be nomina-
ted for any office, and, when elected to of the
chief offices, he was bound to declare within eight
days from the time of election his willingness to
If he refused to serve, if, though willing, he
elected to declare his willingness within the prescribed
period, he was fined forty pounds.
The enforcing of this rule led to the withdrawal
Of Isaac DIsrael from the congregation. Even to
the minor dignity of Bridegroom Of the Law" or
Fintador, member might be chosen with or with
out his consent and was fined if he did not accept
the office, The fine for refusal to accept the former
office twenty-five pounds; for refusal to accept
the latter it ten pounds Similar regulations
prevailed in the Great Synagogue. There was Tine
of $40 for anyone who refused to act as warden
fine of thirty guneas for who refused to act as
treasurer. and fine Of twenty-five guneas for any
one who refused to act overseer of the poor.-JeW

ube Synagogue sixty pears Ego in England.


The synagogue Of sixty years ago was almost the
sole organization of the community; it's work was
not confined to the regulation of public worship; it
extended it's influence the private life and private
of its members; and it offered to members
what to most their chief opportunity for salts
flying ambition.
The London synagogues at the beginning of the
Queens reign were six in number-the Spanish and
Portuguese, the Great the New, the Hambro, the ST.
Adams Place. and the Brewer street
The management of the affairs of each of these
synagogues was practically in the hands of privi-
legged class In the Spanish Portuguese congregation
the administration of the affairs of the synagogue
was entrusted to the Mahamad, consisting Of the
four wardens and the treasurer and popular election
to those offices unknown When vacancy
Cured a meeting was called of the remaining men,
bers of the Mahamad, together with eight ex-mem-
bers Five of those present cast lots to decide who
should have the privilege of nominating member of
the congregation to fill the vacancy. If the nomina
ton approved by the meeting the election was
complete. There must, of course, have been ten
dency for this system of cooperation of digntaries
by dgnitaries to be abused, and for small number
of families to monopolize the management of the
congregations curious rule was maintained for the
purpose Of checking this tendency No one al
lowed to serve on the Mahamad at the same time as
his son, his grandson, his soninaw his stepson his
brother.in-law his nephew, or his cousin. Another
rule, which wears antique Roman aspect, imposed
further restriction eligibility to office in the in
terests of age and experience. No could be
elected treasurer who not above the age of 25
no could be elected warden who not above
the age OF 49, unless he had already served trea-

FadS in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and a "new
thing" frequently sells for short
time simply because it is new.
But in medicine, as in nothing
else, the people demand and will
be satisfied only with positive,
absolute merit. The fact that
Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood it's
ground against all competition,
and it's sales have never wavered
but have remained steadily at the
top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid foun-
dation of absolute merit and it's
power to cure, and its sales con-
tinue to be the largest in the
world.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Dee fness
is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton Of the mucus lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this
tube IS inflamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever: nine cases out
Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition Of the mucus surfaces.
We will give Cne Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
{ caused by catarrh that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
