THE HEBREW NEW YEAR
1t Began Sunday And Was Celebrated In All
Jewish Homes.

This is the New Years Day, according
to the Jewish Calendar. and as such it
will be strictly observed in every Jewish
household. The day began at sunset and
with It series of revival services in all
Of the synagogues of the world.
While the Jews have but few feasts or
special days, those that are retained are
most closely observed and the faithful are
everywhere seen to abstain from their
usual occupations and give the time to
serious meditation and thought.
The Hebrew name for the new year is
ROsh-Hashonah. 1t is celebrated on the
first dag Of the seventh month, called
Tishri. During the services in many
places the shofar. or rams horn. is
sounded. This sounding OF the shofar
should awaken the Israelite from his
spiritual lethargy and invite him to seri-
GUS reflections and self examination and
in this way prepare for the coming great
Day of Atonement.
This New Year marks, according to the
Jewish calendar, the beginning of the
year 1861, counting from the creation Of
the world. The New Years Day is the
beginning of the holy season. The GUS
tomary congratulations with which friends
and relatives are greeted on this festival
lis ''L'shono tovo tiko sev''-'mayest thou
be inscribed to a happy year"
Ten days after the New Years Day is
celebrated the Yom- Hakippurim, or the
Day of Atonement. This day is also
called in the Scriptures the Sabbath of
Sabbaths."

a Pretty whitman Story.

Here is pleasant story which has
never appeared in print, but is known
to be true. The poet, Walt Whit
man, was, as is we'll known, depend
ent during most of his life upon the
kindness of his friends, and admirers
for a support. A few years before
his death, one of these friends called
upon him in his little house in Cam
den, suburban town of Philadelphia.
SWELL, Walt" he said, ''how goes
it this winter? Any subscription
needed for Christmas?'
''No," said Whitman; s'no, I'm at
work now. I'm in the employ of
George Childs. He pays me $50
month.
"You at work! May I ask what is
your occupatlon?"
';Wky, I ride in the street cars. I
fall into talk with the drivers and con-
drctors, and find out which OF them
have no cvercoats, and guess at their
size and notify Childs, and then he
sends the overcoats. Its not hard
work" said the poet thoughtfully.
"And then, you knowl it helps Childs
along. - Youths COMPANION

A Case of Too Much roorhbrush.

"Cancer of the lip" a physician
stated several days ago, sis caused
more frequently than one would think
by the toothbrush. Let me illustrate
this by typical case which I am
treating DOW. John Blank smoked a
good deal, and to keep his teeth white
he cleaned them hard three times a
day with brush whose bristles were
like wire. He brushed little patch
of skin from his lower lip. Afterward
he was careful, aud the sore spot
healed. But then he forgot, and the
spot became sore again.
This went on year or so. Two
days out of the seven this one place
in Blanks lip was sore. Finally it
began to pain him; it hurt all the
time; it smarted even when apparent
~ healed. He would wake in the
night with the sharp, pinching pain
there, and the pain was like the
clutch of crabs claw, for he had
cancer now-cancer due to the irrita-
ton which he had applied thrice
daily for year to that one spot with
his stiff f-bristled brush. No wonder
he had cancer, and no wonder there
are many such cases. People won't
learn that ooth-cleaning may do harm.
They are proud of it, as of bathing,
and they can't believe that any little
pain or irritation due to it can be
other than of benefit. Philadelphia

With disease and the world against him
Toiled hopefully. bravely on

Could smile as he wrought away,
And lies with the unnamed millions
Awaiting the Judgment Day.
Let me sing the song of the heroes
Who died unknown, unnamed,
And my song shall be of the bravest
That d cath and the grave e'er claimedi
And my song shall live the longest
OF all the songs e'er sung,
And still be the song of heroes

Who fought where the foe was strongest

Let me sing song for the hero
Who knelt at the rail to pray
While the boats with the weeping women
And children were rowed away
Who, being man and gifted
With the strength god gives to men,
Was one of the "hundred sailors
Who will ne'er tread decks again.
