to be q statesman.
The new king Is a few months short
of "a years old. The queen Is nearly
three years his senior. His full name
is Christian Frederick Carl George
Valdemar Axel. and he Is the second
son of King Christian of Denmark,
four of whose children now sit upon
European thrones-King George OF
Greece, Queen Alexandra of Great Brit
ain and Ireland, the Czarina Of Rus
STA and King Haakon.
AS a child Prince Carl was set apart
for a naval career. In the naval acad-
envy he Jared exactly as the other stu
dents did. nc better, no worse.
He began his active career In 1890
as q midShipman. n In the summer
OF 1904 reached the grade Of captain
in the Danish navy. He is liked by his
fellow officers, and the common sail
ors are said to hold him in high re-
gard. His favorate subject of W.
sation is the sea, which should endear
him to his Norwegian subjects.
The king Is a strict disciplinarian
and a lover of hard work. He is shy
and unapproachable, but devoted to his
friends,

likes to live simply and plainly. He Is
not much of a speechmaker and has
the frankness of speech peculiar to the
sea dog. He is exceedingly domestic
in his tastes, and the harmony and af-
lection between him and Queen Maud
Is a pattern of married life for other
royal couples.
The King and Queen of Norway were
married in July. 1895. They have one
son, Prince Alexander Frederick Ed
ward Christian. He is now in his
fourth year., and is said to resemble
his maternal grandfather, Edward VII.
Of England.
The queen is the second daughter
OF the King of England. Through
Queen Maud the Norwegians feel GER
ain that the enormous coast line of
their country will never lack the pro-
lection OF the British fleet in time of
trouble.
The queen is tall, stately and is re-
garded as beautiful. She has the at
tributes that should make for her pop
ularity with her husbands subjects.

Too Much Salmon.
Although the salmon is probably the
finest in the world the least particular
traveller Is liable to lose his appetite
for it since he gets 1t for breakfast,
lunch, Dime and supper and between
meals If he should happen to be
hungry. The town. where it hugs the
shore of the Fjord, is most picturesque.
1t Is built almost entirely Of WOO and
the prevailing colors are red and green.
The streets, however, are unbeautifully
wide, but this diminishes the danger Of
fire which periodically breaks out
among the pine VOC dwellings. The
wide streets open to view wonderful
vistas of the rock bound Fjord and the
beautiful hills that lie behind the city.
When the great ford is full Of daily
decked ships and pleasure yachts, when
the city is shaded by flying flags and
brilliant decorations. n when the
people are all abroad in their quaint
and brightly colored costumes moving
happily about among uniformed
princes, soldiers and officials and dis
tinguished visitors the scene Is indeed
worth the long voyage up through the
North sea y Trondhjem.

period. His successor finished the mag

that covered the relics of st. Olaf. and
from that time the building grew
through all sorts of exuberant inn

the splendor of the early Gothic period,

a manner as to create a OF

1t has been repeatedly damaged by
fire and the elements, but is now in the
hands of devoutly careful restorers.
The great central tower with It's four

to the Norwegians that the other res

THE BEST PLACE OF ALL.

When tired, go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want
to show others that you have re-
formed. go home and let your family
get acquainted with the fact.
When you want to show yourself at
the very best, go home and do so there.
When you feel like being extra lib
eral, go home and practice on your
wife and children first. When you
want to shine with more brilliancy than
usual, go home and light the whole
household. Home Is the best place OF
all.
A home means a place where the
most perfect freedom is enjoyed; where
the greatest privacy is secured; where
love and sympathy abound. 1t is the
place to which the business mans
thoughts revert with pleasure in the
midst of cares n worries incident to
his occupation, and to which he hurries
when the day Is done.-Farm Journal.

Rosh Hashona

A great many people naturally ask:
"Why is the Jewish New Year cele
brated on Tishri, the seventh, and not
on Nissan, the first month of the He
brew year," The answer is that the
Jews in Palestine began the economic
year in autumn, because they were
an agricultural nation, and therefore
celebrated the new year with the
beginning Of the harvest. While
the Greeks and Persians began the
year in the spring, the Semites reckoned

the five and twentieth year of our exile,
in the beginning Of the year (be-Rosh
Hashona), on the tenth day of the
month, in the fourteenth year after the
city had been smitten, on the self-same
day, came the inspiration of God upon
Ezekiel. The Talmudists tried hard to
explain this apparent discrepancy,
which would make the date Of Rosh
Hashona New Year, on the tenth Of
Tishri, i. e. on Yom Kippur. According
to the Rabbis, the passage Of Ezekiel
refers to the jubilee year, which occur
red once in fifty years, when, in order to
solve the social question and to prevent
people from becoming too rich or too
poor, all properties had to return to
their original owners The Talmud in
forms us, that slaves were freed on the
first of Tishri, but were allowed to re-
main on the homesteads of their former
masters and to have good time for ten
days, until Yom Kippur, when the
trumpet (ShOfar) was blown as sig
nal for their departure and for the
restoration Of the fields to their original
owners (Rosh Hashona 81. The passage
reads as follows:
seven Sabbaths of years, seven years
seven times, and the space Of the seven
Sabbaths Of years shall be unto thee
forty and nine years. And thou shalt
cause the sound of the cornet to be
heard (Vehaavartah Shofar Theruah) :,
in the seventh month, on the tenth day
of the month (ba- Chodesh ha Sheviih be-
Assor la-Chodesh), on the day of Atone
ment shall we sound the cornet (be-Yo
ha-Kippurim thaaviru Shofar) through
out all your land. And ye shall hallow
the fiftieth year, and ye shall proclaim
freedom throughout the land unto all
the inhabitants thereof. 1t shall be a
jubilee (YobeD unto you and ye shall
return every man unto his possessions,
and every man unto his family" (Levi
tic. 25:10).
The Jewish New Year is also called
"Yom Hazikkaron," day Of memorial
of sounding the trumpet Geviticus 23:
"a, Zikkaron Theruah). There was to
be holy convocation and no servile
labor was to be done, and an "offering
made by fire" was to be sacrificed Ac-
cording to the Septuagint rendering of
Ezekiel As, no special sacrifices were to
be offered on the first day Of the seventh
month as well as on the first day of the
first month. In Numbers 20 there is,
however, slight difference between the
sacrifices for Pessach and Rosh Hash
ona (ib. % :13).
The expression "Zikkaron occurs in

be saved from your enemies. And on
the day of your gladness and your ap-
pointed festivals, and on the beginnings
of your months, shall we blow with the
trumpets over your burnt offerings and
over the sacrifices of your peace offer
ings, and they shall be to you for a
memorial before your God (le-Zikkaron
lifne Adonoi Elohechem." Numbers TO-
9-1O).
In the early history Of the Hebrews
the New Moon" was considered very
high festival. 1t was distinguished by
the same number of sacrifices which
were offered at other festivals, and in
the matter of animal sacrifice was more
honored than the New Year Con new
moons two bullocks, on New Year one
bullock only). (Numbers 90 Ill and 90

court of King Saul, was great holiday.

Elsa. l :13; see also II. Kings 4 :29,
Eek. 46 IS and Amos 8 :5). If then, the
New Moon was so important, it is not
surprising that the New Year was more
significant.
Later development and evolution
gave to "Yom Hazzikaron,'' Day Of
Memorial, different meaning from the
one mentioned in Numbers 1O:1O. The
Rosh Hashona is, indeed, most remark
able holiday. Although the term ''Rosh
Hashona' never occurs in the five books
Of Moses, although there is absolutely
nothing Of national historical char
acter about it, although it has no bear
ing on the nation s agricultural life, and
is not even called FESTIVAL" (Chag), it
to this day exercises far reaching in
fuence on the Jew, and is still "Melech
Hammoadim,' the King Of the Holi-
days. Why? Because it appeals to our
individual life, and concerns itself with
our personal experiences, joys and sor-
rows, during the year.
The "Yom Hazzikaron' day Of
memorial has gradually assumed a new
character. 1t has become for us day,
which reminds us of our struggles and
achievements, our victories and defeats,
our virtues and sins during the year.
1t is also ebay of Memorial" in the
sense that God remembers us and takes
cognizance of our conduct. Therefore
