bration, and, as in all such cases. the
first and last days of the observance
are marked by religious services. This
week is really the thanksgiving festi-
val which is largely analogous to the
modern harvest home. It partakes in
no wise of the nature of the two pre-
ceding holy days and is connected with
them only in time. This feast belongs
rather to the cycle of the three pill
grimages, concluding the Passover the
Penticost and the Feast of Taber-
nacles.
AS stated in the sixteenth chapter of
Deuteronomy: "Three times a year you
shall appear before God" On these
occasions (of course during the exist
ence of the Hebrew state) every He

Added to the forming what might
be called the eighth day of the Feast
of Tabernacles was another celebra-
ton known as the Feast of Conclusion,
which in the Hebrew is Shemini At
zereth, which, according to the Bibli-
cal Injunction, winds up the cycle. In
past Biblical times, not content with
this, the rabbis inaugurated further
celebration which they called the
Feast of the Rejoicing of the Law
Simchas Torah.

The passages read are appropriate for

sanctuary are covered with a rich
white material trimmed with silver

pearance.
After the services the members re-
turn to their homes, where the re-

Rosh Hashandh, Jewish Neu Year,
It's Origin and Its Significance

tence, each of which is observed as
a half-feast day by the more orthodox
Jews, while the Yom Kippur itself is
Invariably observed as complete fast.
The rabbinical allegory that on Rosh
Hashanah God commands the record
ing angel to open the books of each
ones sins and merits, leaving the rec
ord open to be finally and irrevocably
closed on the Yom Kippur, indicates
at once the significance of the day and
the appropriateness of calling the New
Year the day of remembrance, judg-
ment and of blowing the shofar.
Business is generally suspended in
Hebrew commercial circles during the
New Years celebration. The Jewish
temples and synagogues are thronged
with worshippers. Among the ortho-
dox Hebrews the festival lasts two
days. The Reformed Jews celebrate it
for one day only. AS the priestly sue
cession has been lost, the burnt offer
ing can no longer be made. The trum.
pets are blown. In the more conserva-
tive synagogues the shofars, or rams
horns, are used. In the Reformed
synagogues brass instruments are Of
ten used. Experts are employed to
produce the inharmonious notes. There
are three or four distinct blasts. One
is prolonged, as If the blower were
bound to expend every particle of
breath in his body. Another is short
and tremulous. The third is broken
or disconnected. The latter has been
defined as reminder of the many
broken VOWS and promises of the chill
dren Of Israel. These blasts are blown
at frequent intervals during the day.
They are always followed by short

great zest by the members of the con.

Christian Thanksgiving, concludes the

This evening at sunset begins the
Jewish New Year. In this city its
observance is marked by the closing
Of business by the orthodox and the
strict adherence in the home of the
old Jewish laws governing the OBJ
servance of the holy season.
The Jewish calendar contains two
New Year days. Rosh Hashanah is
held by tradition to be the day on
which God created the earth. It falls
either in September or October of the
y christian year, being reckoned by the
new moon of the seventh month, fish
ri. Abb is the first month in the re-
ligious year, and corresponds with
March or April, the year dating from
the moon after the vernal equinox.
The prophets speak of the sacred
year, while those in secular employ
ment reckon it be the civil
1t seems to have been a general Gus
tom among semitic peoples to count
their year as beginning in the fall
synchronous with the harvest festival
and, since all semitic people arrange
their calendar according to the phases
of the moon it can be readily under
stood why, following the ancient Gus.
tom, the Jewish New Year occurs in
the fall. And because of this discrep-
ency between the lunar and solar
years there is a few days variation
from year to year in the date of the
celebration according to current cal
endar.
The celebration of Rosh Hashanah is
established by Mosaic precept, In LIE.
viticus xiii, "a and 25 it says: "Speak
unto the children of Israel, saying in
the seventh month, in the first day of
the month, shall We have a Sabbath, a
memorial of blowing of trumpets. an
holy convocation. Ye shall do no SER
vile work therein, but We shall offer an
offering made by fire unto the Lord"
Different from the ordinary concep-
ton Rosh Hashanah has a deep re-
ligious significance 1t is called, in
the Bible, the day of remembrance,
the day of judgment and the day OF
blowing the shofar or trumpet. 1t is
more than anything else really the
preparation for the great Yom Kippur,
or Day of Atonement.
The days between Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur are known as the

Snoring and Civilization.

From Health.
1t lis q truism that no one ever heard
of q snoring savage. In fact. il the wild
man of the woods and plains does not
sleep quietly, he runs the risk of being
discovered by his enemy, and the scalp
of the snorer would soon adorn the belt
OF his crafty and more quietly sleeEing
adversary. With civilization, however, we
have changed all this. The impure air
of. our sleeping rooms induces all man
ner of catarrhal affections. The nasal
passages arc the first to become affected.
Instead of warming the inspired air on
its way to the lungs. and removing from
it the dangerous impurities with which
it is loaded. the nose becomes obstructed
4 part of the air enters and escapes by
the mouth. The veil of the palate vi
brates between the two currents-that
through the mouth and the one still
passing through the partially closed
nostrilS--like torn sail in the wind
The snore, then, means that the sleeper's
mouth is partially open, that his nose
is partially closed, and that his lungs are
in danger from the air not being properly
warmed and purified. From the con-
tinued operation of these causes-the
increase of impure air in sleeping rooms
and permitting habitual snorers to es-
cape killing and scalping-some scientist
has predicted that in the future all men
(and all women, too) will snore. 1t
goes along with decay of the teeth and
badness
