Jewish New-Tear, " Rosh Hashonah," the Jewish New-Year, which, according to the Mosaic law, dated from the crea tion of the world, was observed by the Hebrews on Tuesday. According to the chronology of the Hebrews, this celebration marks the beginning of the year 5659, and the month is called Tisri and the day is the first of that month. It does not always fall on the same month day, according to modern calendars. Orthodox Jews everywhere throughout the world are strict ob servers of the day. The ceremony, it is said, is identical with that which was carried out in the early days of the race with the exception of the burnt offering commanded by Moses. This cannot be carried out, because the succession of the priesthood has been lost, and none other than the descendants of the anointed are permitted to offer the sacrifice which has been purified by fire. But this is typified by the lighting of a candle in a candle stick suspended in Iront of the Ark of the Covenant, the holy of holies.

The strictly orthodox, nota bly those from Russia and Poland, observe two days, but the American Hebrews observe but one day. One of the ancient customs fol lowed is the plowing of the shefar, or the ram's horn, which is sup posed to awake those who hear it to a full realization of the import of the day and the fact ihat the day of judgment is close at hand.
