therefore to some minds. like that Of
Pater, the purest, since form and

been generally accepted as the most
religious. Beethoven exclaimed: ri

said: Next to theology. give to
music the highest place and honor;
and we see how David and all, the
saints have wrought their godly
thoughts into verse, rhyme and song
It seems rather strange. therefore
says Golfers. that this art. being the
most ethereal. should be the one
which promises to be most mechan

been dependent upon mechanical In

of inventive science is turned on the

Relieious Freedom in Germany

. Various Jewish organizations in Ger

to the proposition Of Professor Rosin to
regulate Jewish religious administration
through the government. The commit
tee appointed by the "German Israelitic
Congregational Union' to consider the
matter passed the following resolution {:
"Since the presentation of the draft
of new law concerning the legal rights
of the Jewish congregations of Prussia
by Herr Geheimrath, Prof. DR.. Rosin,
the committee of the German Israelitic
congregational Union has decided not to
take sides Immediately on the question,
but to hand it over for the consideration
of the larger communities and to the
provincial and district associations"

following:
s'The central committee Of the Ger
man Rabbinical Association declares with
the utmost emphasis that it is opposed to
all efforts that aim at governmental or
ganization of Jewish congregations on
constitutional, synodal, or similar plans.
1t sees in the establishment of legally
recognized district -rabbinates, as in the
establishment Of country and provincial
associations, the solution of the problem
of removing the undesirable conditions
prevailing especially in small communi-
ties.''

Home of New Orleans. Mr.. Rubin has
been a student at Columbia University.
That Jews possess oratory as natural
gift would seem to be borne out by the
fact that among those chosen from the
Junior and senior classes Of City Col

were Moses Fertig, Max Stolper, David
B. Steinman and Simon j. Junnefsky.

The library was founded by the Order

street and Lexington avenue. 1t was
until recently maintained by joint con-
tributions from the B mai Birth and
from the city of New York Owing to
the proposed erection of a Carnegie IL
braly at Fifty-ninth street, however, the
city has decided to withdraw it's sup
port The Order of B mai B 'rith is un-
able to provide sufficient means for the
continuance of the library, and it was
announced at meeting of the organiza-
ton held recently that the library would
be sold to the highest bidder. 1t was
also resolved at this meeting that the
employment bureau, another distinguish
ing feature of the B mai B 'rith work, be
abolished. This course of action was
decided upon only after long consider
alton and for the purpose of reducing

ORIGIN OF POSTAGE STAMPS.
Secret Sign on an Envelope the Gauss
Of Present System.

Quite recently there has been more
the postage stamp.
Perhaps the most authentic story is
that which comes from the post Office
department at Washington. x
1t appears that about 65 years ago
Rowland Hill was travelling through
land and for time was sojourning at
an inn where the postman came with
a letter for a young miss. who turned
1t over and over In her hand and after
examining the envelope infinitely in
CURED the price Of the postage. which
was shilling. She sighed sadly and
returned the letter to the postman
saying that 1t was from her brother
but that she had no money.
Mr.. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. He paid the
postage and his action seemed to en-
barrass the girl. When the postman
had gone she told MFR. Hill that some
signs marked on the envelope con
veyed to her all she wanted to know
and that as fact there was no writ
ing inclosed. In extenuation she said
that she and her brother had con
trived code system of communicate
Ing, as neither of them were able to
pay post charges.
Mr.. Hill thought Of the results of a
system which made such frauds pos
sible. Before another day he had
planned a postal system upon the pres
ent basis.-Harper's Weekly.

It represents "amir-al-bahr," com.

played an extraordinary prank.
Lightning struck the house on tho

gable at one end and tore things in
every direction. 1t followed a side
wall down through a sleeping room
and scorched the bed upon which a
child was sleeping.
1t then ran to the floor and was di-
yerted across the room under the car
pet, tearing nails from the floor boards
with such force as to imbed them In
the ceiling, where they can now be
seen. The bolt, after crossing the
floor left the room through window
on which there was a wire screen,
and this screen is full Of small holes.
