JEWISn NEW YEAR
 USHERED IN TODAY
Going Down of the Sun Marks 5S70 of
 the Hebrew Calendar.

With the going down of the sun to- day the year 5.S7O of the Jewish calen- dar begins and with it begins the ser ies of holy days which will be observ- ed by the Hebrews with solemn relig-' ious rites. The date is that accord ing to the rabbis that marks the time since the creation of the world accord ing to the account contained in the year is probably the oldest holy day celebrated by any civilized people.
 The Day of Atonement comes 10 days after the new year begins and following the fast observed on this day is the Feast of TabernacleS, which covers a period of seven days.
 The Day of Atonement is a fast day to atone for sin, while the Feast Of Tabernacles is 8 reminder that the Is raelites were brought out of the land of Egypt and dwelt in booths before reaching the promised land of Canaan. The origin of the season of holy days dates back to the Pentateuch, where chapter and verse may be cited to show the antiquity of the custom.
 The devout Hebrew turns toward his Thigh places" at the approach of sum set on Sept. 15. These may be the synagogues where the wealthy have provided rich furnishings, plain halls hired for the observance of religious ceremonies, or corners in some attic where the worshippers seek comnlun- ion with their Maker. Some of their prayers, like the Lamentations of Jere- miah are the utterance of distress be- cause of national calamities. The ad- vent of the new year is announced by the blowing of trumpets originally the rams horn, and in many modern pla- ces of Jewish worship the solemn notes of the great organ or the blast of the cornet have replaced the ancient in- struments. The impressive services in the synagogues are followed by a round of congratulations. Many ot the more strictly religious celebrate two days of the new year, the second being observed largely in a social way. On Saturday, Sept. 25, the celebra- ton of the Day of Atonement begins at sunset, 10 days after the new year opens. The faithful go to the syna- gogues and remain there for "A hours
 without food or drink, except for the time spent at home in sleep Curing the
 period of fasting. By the rabannical law, children and invalids are exempt
 ed from the rigorous observance of the fast. The remarkable retention of the national characteristics by the Jewish
 people in all lands is said to be owing in a great measure to the sacredness with which the Day of Atonement is regarded.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Some housekeepers make the mis- take of drawing an cooking water from the hot water faucet. It should instead be drawn from the cold fau- cet, as the sediment that collects in the hot water is not wholesome.
 Round wire screens to fit over the tops of vases 5or bowls may be had in various sizes. They help to hold, the blossoms in an upright position and are especially serviceable for short stemmed flowers.
 Fruit soups, served cold, are often tasty on a hot summers night. To prepare them the fruit is cooked, then strained and seasoned to taste. It is often we'll to add a little lemon. if the fruit is very sweet.
 Hardwood dents may be removed by covering with several thicknesses of paper and pressing with very hot iron; but after this process the blfs- tered varnish will have to be sand papered off and a new finish put on.
 Iron holders, made from a piece of with drilling or heavy unbleached muslin, are light and keep out heat. There should be a ring or loop sewed in one corner to hang the holder.
 Sheer handkerchiefs, as well as those of lace, should be carefully rins- ed in milk to which a little orris root has been added. Wrap in towel for a few minutes and iron while damp. They will be found immediately white.
 Oftentimes the asbestos which has become discolored in the stove may be rleanedt with. common table salt. Sprinkle a little on the mat, light the gas stove burner and place the mat on. top. < The discoIoration will soon disappear.t
 No tins are more satisfactory for baking brown bread than the small round cans in which baking powder and cocoa often cmoe. Then one may have dainty sandwiches without the trouble of trimming the bread round after it is >buttered.
 Red meats are less liable to con- tamination than fish or. chicken. The latter should never be eaten if there is the least suspicion or odor abou, them.( Beef slightly, tainted, though disagreeable, will not produce ptomaine
 A clean pencil eraser or piece o1 srt gum is excellent for removing fresh spots from kid gloves. An ap- plfcation of either of these will pu, off the day when the glove must be sent to the cleaners.

The Federal Legislative committee of the National Bankers association has decided to report adversely on guarantee banks and against postal savings banks, substituting a recom- rnendation for the adoption of a saw fngs bank department in national banks, but providing for a separation of the assets of the two departments and limiting the investments of the savings department to the highest grade of securities with farm loans in cluded. The provision as to farm loans is evidently for the benefit of the west and South, whence comes the strongest demand for postal savings banks.
 The members of the committee be- Heye that should the convention adopt 1fs recommendation the Aldrich Cur rency commission will include it in it's report This explains the call for de- lav of the postal savings bank project z1ntt1 after the Aldxich commdssion reS

SCRAPS OF FAMILY HISTORY.

From time to time we have been
somewhat startled by erroneous accounts
concerning Sir Thomas Gresham. Queen
Elizabeth's most Trustworthy friend
and ambassador to Holland during her
reign. He did not leave any descen-
dants bearing his name to take up the
gauntlet in his behalf, his only son
having died in infancy. and his natural
daughter he married to Lord Clough.
settling upon the young couple an i'm.
mense fortune.
All the Greshams of the Mother
Country of the present day, as well as
those who fled to the United States
during the troubles of Charles, claim
most rightfully their descent from the
father and uncles of Sir Thomas.
A history of the family in England
was compiled by Sir Marmaduke Gresh-
am in the year 1928. These large.
leather-back volumes, so full of interest
to others besides the family. We're de-
stroyed in q fire which consumed the
law Office of Gresham & Son at Lam
caster, Virginia, few years ago. Prob
ably there are duplicates in the New
York Historical Library, but the courtly
old gentleman who loaned these books
to his Lancaster relatives labored under
difficulties while in London in securing
them. He was assisted in his family
research by Sir Henry Cover, M. P.
whose mother was descendant of Sir
Marmaduke Gresham. When this stately
representative of the family in the
United States stood in the ancestral
halls of the same, in and near London,
the long line of family portraits beam
ing down upon him from their faded
frames, the strong resemblance evoked
comment from all present, and although
his mother was a lineal descendant of
the sturdy old pioneer, Daniel Boone,
Mr. p. Gresham bore in his features
and carriage the marked characteristics
of his ancestors of his fathers side.
Sir Thomas, whose memory is revered
yet in old England, for his princely
gifts to the city of London, in the Royal
Exchange and the Gresham College,
was the son of Sir Richard Gresham,
Lord Mayor during the reign of Henry
VIII. Sir John Gresham, High Sheriff
of London at the same time, was a
brother of Sir Richard. There were
crucial times in the lives of those occu-
pying such positions. Men high in
King Henry's favor one day would
lose their heads the next, and. for the
slightest grievance. their property. The
fires of the dreaded Smithfeld rarely
subsided, ard men lived in state bor-
dering on frenzy. The two Gresham
brothers were appointed on the terrible

This was published in the United Ser

to discussing the same. While Cap
tain, with General Forsyth, he was one
OF the founders of Fort Riley Calvary
and Light Artillery School of Applica-
ton. He was stationed there for seven
years as the instructor of strategy and

One who has studied the records. has
said that the Carolina and Georgia
Greshams belong to the same family.
The wife of Gov. Brown of Georgia and
mother of the present Gov. Jos. Brown
was saidto resemble the Virginia Gresh-
ans.
"A few years ago, Lord Granville Lev
ison Cover, M. p, who resided and
probably still resides at the ancient
family seat of Litsey, in Surry county,
England, published the Geneaiogy of
the Gresham family in very large and
elegant book. Mr.. Peter Hass Gresh
am, of Washington, ID. c., had full
genealogies of this family in several
volumes, which brings it down to the
present age with numerous illustrations
of their Coats-of-arms, facsimilies of
signatures, ETC., etc.
Wards Lives of the Professors of
Gresham College, London, can be OBJ
tanned by writing to the Effingham
Wilson Bookstore of the Royal Ex-
change, London, as we'll as the Life
and Times of Sir Thomas Gresham. 4"
1t is surprising how many intelligent
people give credence to the absurd sto-
ry OF his having been discovered when
an infant by the chirping of grass
hopper. The great benefactor of Lon
don, Sir Thomas Gresham, Loyalty low
ed by the metropolis, descended from a
long line of barons and his ancestral
line shows forty-one Knights wives.
The family escutcheon was cut in the
solid stone over the great arch-way of
the ancient castle town of Gresham,
county Norfolk, and doubtless Sir Rich
ard, the father of Sir Thomas, was as
ignorant Of its origin as those of the
present day. That helmet spoke vol
umes in belligerent age; the grass
hopper surmounting it remains a mys-
terry. This fact remains. that Sir Thom-
as, royal agent in three successive
reigns, was proud of his family crest, or
the golden grass-hopper for nearly
three and a. half centuries, one of
London's landmarks, would not to this
day be looking down from its perch,
1OS feet above the busy streets. eRes-
cued from the debris, caused by the
great fire of 1866, in which the ROYAL
Exchange was totally destroyed, it was
placed above the new dome, supported
by eight Corinthian columns, and to
this hour it swings to the points of the
compass, perpetuating the sign and
crest of the Gresham family" about
which tradition has woven many
legends. Over the great Corinthian
portico is the motto in solid stone:
"The earth is the Lords and the
fullness thereof" 1t was this realiza-
tion that prompted him to deeds of
love and generosity, the motto itself
fitting sequel to a glorious life.

PROTEST
Against Any Legislation Which Tends
. to Rob Them of Their Personal
Privileges.

JACKSON, Miss, July 30.-Mem-
bers of the fair sex in Jackson who
are fond of horseback riding, and who
recently adopted the fashion of riding
astride, are much interested over the
bill introduced in the Georgia legis-
lature making it a felony for wo-
man to mount a horse man-fashion,
and some of them feel rather discon-
certed over it, fearing that similar
legislation may be attempted when
the Mississippi lawmakers hold their
session in January.
A considerable degree of local inter
est attaches to the Georgia measure,
for the women of Jackson have long
since discarded the side saddle, and
| it looks like they have discarded it for
keeps You rarely see a woman rid
/ ing through the streets of this city IN

noon you can see them in twos and
threes riding astride, and they look
exceedingly graceful, too Fully
twenty of the foremost young women
of Jackson took part in the Mississip-
pi Travellers parade only few
weeks ago, and only one of the mum
Der used a side saddle.

NEW ART DEMONSTRATED
AT SEATTLE EXPOSITION

SEATTLE, July 30.-A beautiful
art, new in invention, is demonstrated
by a number of examples shown in
the fine arts display of the imperial
Japanese government at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
The art consists in transferring but
terflies and moths directly to certain
materials and fabrics with such skill
that no loss is experienced in either
color or delicateness of outline. When
the operation is completed, the fin
1shed picture presents the winged
insects in all the daintiness of &C
tual life. OF the examples shown

est air current, the beautiful crea-
lures have every appearance of life.
The process can be applied to many
materials, but the fineness of silk
appears to lend itself more satisfac-
tory than others. Post cards, fans
and many other articles appear with
this butterfly decoration and their
naturalness is remarkable.
The invention is protected under
patent by the noted entimologist, Pro
fessor Y Nawa, of Gifu, Japan, and
according to his statement, the com
pleted article is not susceptible to the
influence of water or rubbing. Prof
Nawa is not unknown by reputation at
