Observance OF The
Hebrew New Year
BY ]. sILvERBLATT, JERMYN.

on Sunday evening observant Jews
throughout the universe will usher In
the year $751; which tradition has as
signed to be the anniversary OF the
creation of the world.
Unlike other denominations, the Jew
devotes the first day of the religious
year in prayer and song. Judaism has
always made life optimistic and has
laid stress on the frequent Biblical
Injunction Thou shall rejoice before
the Lord. 1t is therefore but fitting
that on this day that Israel assemblies
en- masse in their respective syna-
gogues or temples and there offer up
Thanksgiving to Him that all Qesh
must bow and there drink the draught
of religion to quench the thirst of the
human soul.
Biblical critics may find objection in
placing the creation Of the cosmos but
little more than five thousand years,
but Jewish tradition is justified in
counting the age of the universe from
| the birth Of monotheism. With the in
| fusion of the divine spark in man
| kind, the world actually came into eX-
| istence, for what would the world be
| without religion but dark mass, like
| long weary night with nothing to re-
lieve its monotony. Therefore it was
| religion alone that made the world
what it is. 1t was the uplifting of hu-
manity towards God that urges man.
kind to build up a civilization, yes,
like a song in the long dreary night,
| so Is religion to the human race.
Judaism may therefore claim to be a
universal religion 1t does not base
its birth upon the founder of any Sect
| like Christianity, Mohammedism or
Buddhism, but marks it's new year
from the birth of the divine spark In
mankind. No leader in Israel, not
even Abraham or Moses. is made the
| forerunner of Judaism, but humanity
In it's relation to godliness is manifest
| ed in the celebration of the Hebrew
New Year"
| Each new year that the Jew observes
he renews the covenant made on
Moriah that Israel is to carry the
torch of religion to mankind. When
| civilization was yet in it's infancy, it
was the Jewish prophets of old that
dreamt of the equality of mankind and
of human brotherhood. 1t was Isaiah
that first denounced the atrocities of
| war and longed for an era when the

perstition in the presence of barbar-
ians the author of Genesis cries out,
Down with idolatory! away with the
worship of idols. Let there be light
and there was light" This gave birth
to Judaism and from the removal OF
the darkness off the face of the earth
Israel became a nation of priests, not
people that have a common mission
to the world in bringing light to the
human soul.

CULINARY ADVICE.

Always have lobster sauce with salmon,
And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on.
Veal outlets dip in egg and breadcrumb
Fry till you see brownish red come.
Crate Gruyere cheese on macaroni
Make the top crisp, but not too bony.
In venison gravy, cunant jelly;
Mix with old port-see Francatelli.
In dressing salad mind this law:
With two hard yoks use one that's raw.
Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve.
And picked mushrooms, too, observe.
Roast pork sans apple sauce, past doubt,
Is Hamlet with the Prince left out.
Your mutton chops with paper cover.
And make them amber brown all over.
Broil lightly your beefsteal;-to fry it
Argues contempt of Christian diet.
Kidneys a fine favor gain
BY stewing them in good champagne
Buy stall.fed pigeons. When you've got them,
The way too cook them is to pot them.
Wood grouse are dry when gumps have marred
'em:
Before you roast 'em always lard EN-.
1t gives true epicures the vapors
To see boiled mutton minus capcrs.
Boiled turkey gourmands know, Of course,
Is exquisite with celery sauce.
The cook deserves Learty cutting
Who serves roast fowl with tasteless stufing.
Smets require egg and biscuit powder.
Don't put fat pork in your clam chowdcr
Egg sauce--iew make it right, alas!
Is good with blue fish or with bass.
Nice oyster sauce gives 2est TO cod.
A fish, when fresh, to feast a god!
Shad, stuffed and baked, is most delicious.
1t would have electrified Apcius.
Roasted in paste. a haunch of mutton
Might make ascetics play the glutton.
But one might rhyme for weeks this way,
And still have lots OF things to say.
And so, I'll close, for, reader mine,
This is about the hour | dine.

AUTOMATIC FoaHoRNs.
They Are Successfully Operated Of
the Coast of Spain.

From Pearsons Magazine.
Automatic foghorns operated by the
motion of the sea have recently been
installed off the coast of Spain. The
rise and fall of the buoy sets pump
at work which at every stroke forces
a supply of air into an air chamber.
A small engine lberates the air in
regular quantities and allows II to
pass upwards to the foghorn which
produces the blast.
The number and length of the blasts
may be regulated as desired Each
blast contains one or more notes. a
long and a short one or any other
combination to make it distinctive and
easily recognizable. Supposing a
storm rage, the foghorn will still sound
the same steady blast that it produces
In a calm sea, for the extra power OBJ
tanned from the waves is allowed tc
run to waste by means of an escape
valve.

We have at last made the discovery
which has bafi1ed chemists and all Others
for ceuturies-that of absolutely destroy
ing superfious hair, root and branch,
entirely and perm manently, and that too
without impairing in any way the finest
or most sensitive skin. II fs scarcely
possible to overstate the importance OF
this discovery, or the great good and salts
faction IL will be to those affiicted with
one of tho most distigur ring and aggrnvat-
ing blemishes-that of superf1uous hair on
the face of women, whether 10 be mus
tache or growth on the neck, cheeks or
arms.
The Misses Bell have thoroughly tested
its efficacy and are desirous that the full
merits of their treatment to which they
have given the descriptive name OF KILL
ALL-HAlR" shall be known to all affiicted.
To this end q trial will be sent froo of
charges, to any lady who will write for IL.
without a cent of cost you can zee for
yourselves what the discovery is; the
evidence of your own senses will then
convince you that the treatment "KILL-
ALL-HAIR," will rid you of one Of the
greatest draw backs to perfect loveliness,
the growth of supertiuous hair on the face
or neck of women.
Please understand that q personal demon
stration OF our treatment costs you
nothing. A trial will be sent you free,
which you can use yourself and prove our
claims by sending two stamps for mailing.
