AN ODD RELIGION.
The s~abbateans Of Salonica and Their
Peculiar Beliefs.

The S~abbateans Of SalOnica and Their
Peculiar Beliefs.
Surely one of the oldest Religions
in the world is that of the Sabbateans
Of Salonica, Of whom M. Damon hag
lately made special study. The sect
takes its name from one Sabbath
Cevi, a Smyrniote Jew, who houf~
ished in the middle ofthe seventeenth
century, and SO muddled himself ~
constant study of the Cabala that he
gave himself out for the Messiah
Thanks to some bogus miracles, tho9-
sands of Jews focked to his standaf,
and a serious revolt was on point II
breaking out, when the pasha of TIE
district captured him and offered h; m
the choice Of accepting Islam or be
ing incontinently shot. The story is
that he chose the former alternative,
and that his followers, disguised BY
his apostasy, abandoned their belief
in his Messiahship, and returned to
their former faith.
M. Danon's researches, however,
show that the sect is not so extine2 as
has been thought. He had much aif-
fcultyin getting the information, snd
it was only the lucky accident of one
Of the faithful sending his waistEoat
to be mended, without remembering
that a sort Of prayer book was stitched
in the back, that threw any real Rght
in his way. AS it was, the tailor had
just time to- show the document 70 a
friend, who took a copy, now in M.
Danon's possession. From this it
seems that the Deunmeh Cor convert
edl, as they are called by the Tt ks,
still worship the God of Abraham un-
der his Cabalistic name of the In
finite, and acknowledged as Il eir
'Lord and King Sabbath Cevi, whom
they call ''the true Messiah and tEeir
Redeemer. They are not to tske
false oaths in the name Of God or
His Messiah, are not to murder, eeven
though they hate anyone" to bsar
false witness, nor to eovet other reo-
pies goods. But they are to keep
their faith a profound secret, and to
live like Mussulmans, keeping the
Moslem faith and observing all their
ceremonies without any scruple until
the day when they are to stake ven
geance for Israel" after which they
viii become angels The mixture of
gross and lifelong hypocrisy with the
practice Of real yirtues-it is espe-
cially said that there are no poor
among them, every member Of the
community being willing to help at
any time any Of the others-is very
typical Of these apocalyptic sects. And
in this faith more than a thousand
families Of Salonica believe.-PaIl

Persons sometimes wonder why
patent medicines, prepared foods and
other proprietary articles take such
%outlahdish and heretofore u~nheard-of
names. Mr.. Duell, the commissioner of
patents, in an address on trademarks

it clear. The government cannot allow

tain amount Of strain is put on a nor
NAL heart, and by a rise Of pressure
indirectly also on the large
peripheral arteries, must not this ac-
ton be multiple in the cases of heart
troubles or in the cases Of arteries
with thickened or hardened walls? 1t
is specially the rapidity Of the change
from one altitude to another which
must be considered as a call made up
on the contractability Of the smaller
arteries on the one hand and on the
amount of muscular force Of the heart
on the other hand, aad if the struc-
lures in question did not respond to
this call rupture Of an artery or dila-
ton of the heart MAJ ensue. In the
case Of people totally unaecustgyned
to higa attitudes it is desirable to
take them by degrees, in two or three
stages, with a stay Of one or two days
