Tales of Yeshurun

(Translated from the Hebrew for The
Jewish outlook by Elias Margolis.)
The synasos in Alexandria.
In the days Of the prophet jeremiah,
John the son of Kareah and many army
officers with him, settled in Egypt. But
they did not hearken unto the word of
God which He had spoken through Jere
miah AS soon as they arrived there the
Jews built synagogue for exiles in the
city Of Alexandria, a structure like
which there was none in the entire
world This building was Of perfect
splendor and palatial, and had seat
ing capacity Of 100000. In it they set
up seventy chairs Of gold, for the
seventy elders of the people, and seat
Of honor Of especial splendor for the
head of the Sanhedrin. The weight Of
each chair was 25O,OOO talents Of gold
A wooden platform was erected in the
center, upon which the priest of the syn
agogue stood. When the time came to
respond amen to the blessing of the
official reader, this priest would wave a
flag in his hand and all the people would
respond "Amen" in unison. For the
people could not hear the voice Of the
reader, while he was praying, on ac-
count of the vastness Of the building.
All the frequenters Of this synagogue
knew their respective places, for there
were sections in this synagogue, each sec
ton divided off for all the trades, sec
ton for each guild of labor. The iron
workers, brass workers, the weavers
the embroiderers occupied separate sec
tions, each man to his trade. If a
stranger would wander into the syna-
gogue he would be directed to the guild
to which he belonged.

vate dining room. The judge and Pro-
fessor Thurston left for Chicago Satur-
day afternoon.
In his address in Temple Emanuel on
Friday night Judge Mack said in part:
Pure Religion.
1t sometimes seems that religion is
losing it's hold on the people. Ceremon
ialsm is passing away, but pure reli-
gion has a stronger foothold to-day than
ever before. Religion is manifesting
itself no longer in the dogma but in prac-
tice This is true not only Of the Jew,
but Of all peoples all over the world. No
religious sect has the right to confne its
charitable and philanthropic activities
to it's sect alone. There is no valid rea-
arian institution. The only excuse l can
advance for having Jewish charities is
the pledge given by our forefathers 25O
years ago to take care of our own poor.
This is the reason, and to me the only
reason, for having Jewish charities. The
Jew must carry out the pledge as prom
Used and were it not for this obligation
there would be no strictly Jewish chari-
ties.
The Jew is ever in the foreground
with his heart and purse. He responds
promptly to every charitable and phil
anthropic undertaking. The National
Conference Of Jewish Charities com
poses in great measure all Jewish phil
anthropic effort. 1t will meet in Phila-
delpha on May 9th, 7th and Sth Your
local Jewish relief society is member
Of the great body and l hope a great
many of you will make an effort to at
tend. l earnestly invite you to do so.
Federated Charities.
In recent years the principal work OF
Jewish charities was amalgamation.
Cincinnati was the leader in that great
movement and New York, Cleveland,
Philadelphia, Chicago and many other
cities followed it's lead with success.
Join your forces together, it means more
effective work. 1t will increase your
receipts fifty per cent. without much
trouble. In economic management OF
philanthropic activities the Jew is de-
cidedly in the lead. But we are behind
in great many other respects.
Orphan Asyums.
There are no better orphan asylums
in this country than Jewish asylums,
and of all the Jewish asylums the Cleve-
land Orphan Asylum, managed by DR..
Samuel Wolfenstein is the most ably
managed The children find in their
kind-hearted superintendent devoted
interest and a warm response to all their

.IeIIied Chicken.

Select for this a fowl rather than a
chicken, as the long cooking will make
1t tender SINCE, clean, and cut it up
as for a fricasse, put in kettle with
one-half of a small onion, stuck with
a Glove, and one stalk of celery, cover
with boiling water and simmer until
the meat falls from the bones, adding
one teaspoonful of salt when half
done. Take out the chicken and cook
down the liquor to three-quarters of a
cupful, then strain it and skim off the
fat. Lightly butter mold and deco
rate the bottom and sides with slices
of hard boiled eggs and stoned olives.
Free the meat from the skin, bone and
fat, and pack it in the mold, sprinkling
with salt, add the liquor and set aside
to cool.

The ideal Family Laxative.

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause it's ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

Curtain Styles.

Lace curtains will be used this fall
but the artistic printed linens and
lightweight materials are going to
be more popular. These fabrics cost
less than lace and harmonic more
with the furnishings, especially in the
small apartment. The new printed
linens have cream-colored back
grounds, with bright floral designs in
both large and small figures. Among
these artistic materials are the print
ed and plain linens, madras and light
weight grass cloths. This style of ma
teriaI looks particularly well with mis-
sion furniture.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back Or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:

"PARsIFAL" OCTOBER 2s.
Waencrlan Drama at the Frazer Next
Week.

The famous poet, author and com
poser, Richard Wagner, was always
known as a man of abstemious hab-
its and frugal tastes. Notwithstand-
ing his great genius, he was as SIM
pie and as impulsive as a child, even
at the height of his career. One of
the many anecdotes told of him, illus
tratlng these traits, is worth repeat
ing.
1t was during the rehearsal Of
"Parsifal," prior to its initial produc-
tion in 1882.
His wife, Cosima Wagner, and him.
self, were seated in the auditorium of
the Festival theater. intently watch
ing one of the final rehearsals of
"Parsifal." He was greatly pleased
with the manner the artists acquitted
themselves and, at the grand finale of
the second act, he was so overcome
with JOY that he rushed upon the
stage and hugged and kissed the prin-
cipals, in the ecstasy Of the moment,
dancing around like a very child.
This impulsive exhibition of his graf
ification and pleasure was well un-
derstood by the artists, ana gave them
intense satisfaction.
Glancing out in the auditorium, he
perceived his wife, who had been a
silent witness of everything and,
seeming to think he had neglected
her, he fastened to her side and
showered kisses and embraces upon
her, as if to atone for his apparent
neglect. 1t was some time before the
great master regained his composure,
50 that the rehearsal could continue.
"Parsfal" will be seen at the Fra
ger Tuesday evening, October 2S. The
performance will begin promptly at
| 1880.

NORTHERN PACIFIC COMPLIES.
After Long Fight Washington Road,
Yield to Commission.

Complete compliance with the de-
mands of the railway commission in
the matter OF minimum charges on
freight shipments in less than 100
pound lots is shewn by the new tariff
sheet. received from the Northern Pa
cific between all stations west of the
Idaho Montana line, and upon the
Washington & Columbia River rail-
way, by the Washington railroad COM
mission.
The railway commission made de-
mand for a more equitable rate on the
complaint of II. A. Klinge, of Kenne-
wick, and secured a new rate. Its op-
Grafton showed however, that on
certain commodities class freight the
charge was actually increased.
When this was discovered the COM
mission again directed that the rule
be changed and the sheet received to-
day carries out the letter of their de-
mand. The portion of the tariff deal
ing with the change is as follows:
The minimum charge for any single
shipment will be the charge for 100
pounds, at the class rate to which the
commodity belongs. In case shipments
are composed of more than one class
of freight the minimum charge will be
the charge for 100 pounds of the ar

WIRELESS AT MOSCOW.
Experimental Station of MaFconi Sys-
TEN 10 Be Installed.


Moscow Evening Journal; A wire
less telegraph station on university
hill in Moscow is the latest venture
which may be undertaken in the i'm
ediate future in this city.
Edward Phelps of Boise, general
western agent of the Marconi Wire
less Telegraph company, was here
yesterday en- route to Lewiston, and
he left that city after a brief confer
ence with local business men, prom
Using to return in a few days.
Upon his return he will Immediately
appoint Moscow agent and will then
go on to Spokane to make arrange
ments for a superintendent of opera
tions with view to establishing an
experimental station here. 1t is said
that Mr.. Phelps inspected University
hill yesterday afternoon and found the
location most convenient for the psac-
ing of station.
Rumor has it that the placing OF a
station In Lewiston is also being talk
ed of and this would indicate that the
Marconi Wireless company is to
branch out in this section on an eX-
tensive scale. For the past several
months the company has been selling
considerable stock in the inland en-
pire and the establishment of sta
tions has been conducted with all pos
sible rapidity.
Although the station here would be
used more for demonstrative than
for commercial purposes, yet 1t is
likely that business would be ham
died between here and points where
instruments are already in operation.

predict that If the grower wiz hold
his product he will get a much higher
price during the winter months.
-The production is about 80 per
cent and the quality cannot be
equaled. In some instances where
caution was not properly exercised
some loss was sustained. Some peo-
pie think II is mistake, or useless,
to take all the trouble that the Yaki-
ma fruitgrower does to grow his fruit.
Let me say that II a rigid inspection
was not enforced that there would not
be one-fourth the demand for the
Yakima product as there is at present.
Inspection and spraying is the saliva
ton of the fruit industry of Yakima.
If we did not do it thoroughly we
would have no fruit. Our orchards
would not be worth the attention of
picking the crop.
