Immediately begun for the great feast on the
following day.
There is also some peculiar though brief GER
cmOny attending every meal that is eaten in
course Of the Passover festival The first meal
at the "Seder" table is eaten on the first night
of "Pesach" when solemn ceremony takes
place at the breaking Of the bread At the head of
the table, on plate called the "Seder' dish, are
placed three uubroken "matzoth," separated by
napkins, and representing the three divisions of
Israel, Cohen Ohe prestJ Levi (the Levte) and
Israel tthe Is~aeIite). Among the wealthy fam
lies the "SIdcr dish is of gold and silver All the
dishes served at the meal are significant of some
symbol of the Passover. one is made of a paste
composed Of grated apples, almonds, honey and
cinnamon moistened with raisin wine. and is in
tended to remind the people of the Egyptian lime
and mortar. a small lamb bone and an egg
baked in ashes represent the festive sacrifice"
offered in Jerusalem. "Kiddish.7 the bene-
diction over the wine, takes place at the end of
the meal, after which spray of parsley is

at the table takes small portion OF It II IS
supposed to remind them OF the bitter life Of
slavery to the Egyptians After the meal is fin
ished, the head of the family reads in a mono
tone a part Of the history of 'Pesach" from the
"Hagadah" or prayer book, and then chants the
following beuediction:
Blessed art Thou, o Lord our God,
King of the universe,
Who has SauCtifed us with Thy commandments
And commanded US to eat uuleavened bread.
During the entire meal the door is left ajar so
that Elijah, tie prophet may visit them during
their service. and an extra seat at table and
cup of wine are set for him. The door is also
left open as an invitation to the Christian TO
come in and see that no blood is used in the OBJ
servance of the Passover, and to diSprOve the
old superstition that the Hebrews murdered
Christian children as sacrifices for their feast.
Only unleavened bread. "matzoth," is al
lowed to be eaten in Passover week. and every
family lays in a supply. over 125O.000 pounds
of 'matZOth" or 31,250,0O0 cakes. are consumed
in New-YOTk City by its Hebrew population
every Passover. The orthodox and foreign Jews
viii have nothing but hand made 'matZOth," but
the American and Reformed Jews use those
made by machinery

Chickens in Town.

Let 1t be granted that chickens make de-
sirable pets that they are often a source
of great pleasure to their fanciers and that
by their keep the family's table needs are
met more economically than otherwise
These assertions by the opponents of the
proposed regulation restricting the MAIN
tenance of poultry yards in the city may all
be true, and still the issue which the Com
missioners are bound ultimately to con-
slider is whether the keeping of fowls in
town is or is likely to become a public
nuisance, a menace to the health or the
peace and comfort of those within range
1t is clear enough that to certain num-
Der OF people the proximity of a chicken
yard TO their residences is a source of con-
slant annoyance and Inconvenience IL not
an actual danger to health. 1t is doubtless
true in addition that for every citizen who
appeared yesterday before the Commits
sioners to plead for the regulation there
are hundreds of others who are of the same
mind but who did not care to appear in
public. Enough have come forward to
demonstrate that there Is pronounced OBJ
lection to the present conditions, which

Great Britain and America.

Speaking at a dinner eaten in New York
last night in honor of King Edwards sixty
fifth birthday, Sir Mortimer Durand. who is
retiring from his post here and from the
diplomatic service of his country. said:
zone thing that makes me more ready to
go than / otherwise would be Is this-the
feeling that never since the revolutionary
war have the relations between the two
countries been so cordial they are now.
II do feel the old era of misunderstanding
has passed away, and all of us ought to rec
ogniZe the fact and rejoice in it. L am
stating it as a fact-I say this while leaving
America with deep regret and with sorrow,
/ leave it with the feeling that between kin
dred people all is we'll
Sir Mortimer states the case both cor
rectly and fel!citousy. And what he says
is of worldwide value. For when we con-
slider their number, their equipments. their
experience in government, and the extent
and situation of their possessions, the Eng
disappearing people standing together pre-
sent a spectacle thoroughly reassuring to
themselves and to everybody else who de-
sires peace and progress. Nor would 1t be
easy to disturb the relations thus establish
ed. They rest upon foundations broad and
firm. and destined to last.
1t is easy to recall comparatively re-
cent days that were very different. At that
time the post of ambassador to the Court
of st. James. while, now, one of great
dignity and Importance. was set down in
the ''ticklish" class. Men who held it were
often sharply criticised at home here for
both the things they did and things they
failed to do. If they became too popular
with the people to whom they were accred-
tied an accusation followed that they were
losing their Americanism If they failed to
make striking impression they were ac-
cused of colorlessness and incapacity. The
happy medium was not easily determined.
The change now so generally noted dates
distinctly from the Venezuelan episode
when Lord Salisbury yielded in the con-
tention about the Monroe doctrine and
difficult matter happily adjusted. Next
came the furry over Cuba when the United
States was without champion in Europe
and Great Britain quietly and unofficially,
but none the less effectively. took our side
Since then, and under the spirit then Gre
ated. several matters in controversy be-
tween Great Britain and America have
been well arranged. and today all is friend
ship between the two countries. Mr. Hay
and Mr.. Choate, with their brilliant talents
found the atmosphere of London town
warm and cordial, and Mr. Reid with his
gifts for diplomacy, is equally fortunate
while the British ambassadors here have
received and deserved more than an official
welcome.
Sir Mortimer Durand's successor is not
announced. but it is not necessary that his
name be known to warrant the prediction
that he will find himself at home in his
new post. and be encouraged to strengthen
bonds which make for good. here in Eng
land. and everywhere.

striction save those involved by the formal
process of complaint and abatement
The District should make and enforce
rule which relieves the individual citizen
of the necessity OF carrying case INTO
court on his own initiative. The house,
holder who does not keep chickens-and
there are probably q thousand or more such
to one chicken keeper-should be assured
by the municipality Of protection against
nuisances. Inasmuch as the non-chfcken
keepers are far In the majority. the burden
Of proof should be on the minority who are
now asking for unlimited freedom in the
maintenance Of poultry as pets or for eco
nOmical or commercial reasons.
There are certain things which are incom-
patible with good city administration. and
one Of these is the maintenance of any con-
dition which arouses the reasonable obJec-
ton Of considerable number Of people
The right Of maintenance in such a case
should be measured primarily by the neces-
sity. On this basis the plea Of those who
wish to keep chickens as pets must be inn
mediately dismissed. A pet is a luxury.
whether a dog or cat or a donkey or a
rooster. and its presence in the neighbor-
hood is never to be permitted when it seri-
ously annoys others. hooking bird may
become an intolerable nuisance and par
rot is often bane beyond endurance.
On the side of domestic economy or busi-
ness, the keeping of chickens may be re-
garded as permissible. under a regulation
such as that now proposed But the condi-
tions of maintenance should be strictly
prescribed and enforced, and In the process
the complaints of neighbors should DE given
full weight and proper credence, with the
District authorities themselves undertaking
the prosecution of such proceedings as may
be necessary to abate the nuisance when it
has been sufficiently demonstrated.

out it? AS a trained man in examining

courages his friends to hope on, hope ever,
and to look up. He might have said more.
and he might have said less. about Mr..
Hearst. but what he does say shows him
to be in full sympathy with the New York
editor, and that will give some of his ad-
mirers pain. They are looking to him for
leadership again in 1908, and would have
him divorce himself entirely from every
sort of connection with Mr.. Hearst and his
following. That way. they believe, lies red

The Casteilane Case.

The French legal practice resembles our
own in at least one particular. When the
law and the evidence are against him, an
attorney abuses the other side. After Count
Boni had been exposed as humbug and a
wife-beater. and all Paris had manifested
it's disgust. his lawyer tried to divert at
tention from him by attacking an American
lawyer associated with the case of the count
ess. This man, long in practice in Paris and
honorably known at home here, was held
up in Gallo style to execration. But the
scheme there. here. fails. Little as he
is. Count Boni cannot be hid by any such
device. but still stands forth in all Of his
vulgarity and pusillanimity- A more of
fensive figure has not appeared in a long
time. Still. II. after he is free again, he
should resume the role of fortune hunter,
would 1t be a safe gamble to bet that he
would fail? The probability Is that he
