JEWISH NEW YEARS DAY.

This is the Jewish New Year. 1t is
The dav the descendants of Israel use
10 marx The fight of time; the day
they celebrate the forging or another
link in an almost endless chain that
binds them to the earliest recorded
ages Of mankind.
There is nothing in history so strange,
nothing in human vicissitudes so re-
markable, as the career of the Jews.
From the days when sacred history was
their own, when their ancestors were
the actors and chroniclers of the world.
down to the present day, it is story
of varied experience, but remarkable
consistency. Other races have come
and gone, other peoples have risen and
fallen, their power has been felt for
good or bad, their beliefs have changed
from time to time, their habits, DISPOSE
tions and features. have shown a Won
derful transformation. Not so with the
Jews. They were the most gifted and
pious people who inhabited the earth
4.0e0 years ago. They were the original
worshipers of the unseen God. They
hold the same beliefs today, worship
at the same shrine, follow the same
rituals and observe. the same ceremo-
mics. They We're traders centuries ago;
they have lost none of their racial
ability in commerce. They were skilled
workers in the finer arts; they love jew
elry to this day. They knew some
thing of astronomy in those days; they
are close students of nature and keen
observers yet.
in all their wanderings, enforced or
voluntary, however widely they scat
tered, the same stubborn unyielding
energy held them to the traditions of
the fathers, the same patient, persist

worldly affairs and sustained their

POEMS WORTH READING.
THE HOUSEHOLD.

CPall Mall Gazette)
Sometimes in dreams / see
The houses or the Lord, not built with
hands;
Each mansion that in Gods own city
stands.
Empty and waiting,
Lifts up its everlasting doors for me.
And some of these are ceiled
With flaming swords, as for some hero S
home;
And some for weary souls that long did
roam
Are soft, be-cushioned:
And some are set in green and lflied field.
But fairest of them all
Are those great houses whereout laughing
From nursery windows look, and sounds
arise
OF little voices
Holding within eternal festival:
And flying glimpses CLEAN
OF nut-brown locks, of golden curly head
or Innocent Powered faces, hands out
spread
In joyous welcome
And little feet that dance across my
dream.
And rounded rosy limbs
Through cloudy curtains glance and dis
appear:
And tiny songs and prattle sweet to hear.
And lovely laughter.
Ring softly out, and baby mirth o'erbrims.
And there at last l know H
The barren woman shall keep house some
day.
A joyous mother of children: and shall
say
Sobbing with gladness,
Past all my hopes, why hast thou
blessed me so?"

WIRE NAILS AND THE TRUST

An attorney of the trusts, speaking
in their defense in Chicago recently,
said that 'sas far as trusts are inspired
by the desire to cheaper production,
they must be conceded to be the off
spring of efforts at work in human So
ciety from the beginning of all time
that Ito save labor and prevent waste
have been the inspiring ambitions of
all progress" and that 'as far as our
modern trusts accomplish similar re-
suits, they are certainly beneficial"
The Chicago Tribune. pioneer in
Republican journalism, replies by say
ing: Granted. But how far have mod
ern trusts accomplished these so-called
similar results? The outward and Wis
ible signs of n cheapening of produc-
ton. of the simplification of methods of
distribution, and of the prevention of
waste are lower prices to consumers.
To what trusts are consumers indebt-
ed for cheaper products? That is not
an easy question to answer If the
question is, To what trusts do the peo-
pie owe higher prices? the answer is
easy"
The Salt Lake namesake of this Chi
cago newspaper contends that tariffs
and trusts have brought the price of
wire nails from $3.50 per ton to SAG per
ton.
When the first few kegs were turned
out, wire nails may have commanded
$3.50 a ton. But that was before CONNIE
tition had stimulated invention and
made their manufacture on an extern
sive scale possible. 3 Certainly wire nails
cost the consumer more today than
they did two or three years ago. And

Here, then, thirteen centuries ago we

since that early time a cathedral has

six centuries. The present ST. Paufs
is more than two centuries old.

OF course, not King Seberts church
itself. We scarcely know how long
King Sebert's church lasted. 1t had
the usual experience of the churches of
those times-now in ruins through fire
or because of the sack of some plllag-
ing intruder, now restored and put to
sacred use again. At last, when the
Danes were troubling England. it was
wholly demolished. But in 1865, one
year before the conaueror's time, King
Edward the Confessor completed the
celebrated structure. which, in parts at
least, exists to the present day, which
still contains his venerable tomb, and
which for over 500 years has been the
most sacred spot on earth to English
men. A great deal of the present
church. however, owes its origin to
Henry III and Edward | of the thir-

tiful part of the edifice is the chapel
built at the end of the fifteenth century
