T rea
in thc history of Israel .simitar t/i o ir
Fourth of July, has just closed. It
began Friday eveniii}< Dee. 12, and
lasted one v/eek. During the eon
tinuan'o of this festival, eight days
Israelites aro permitted io disport
themselves in a general #ood time,
and though really not n children'.-
festival is devoted lai-yeiy*' to gift-
nnO scenes that render little hear >
very happy. Hebrew children r«*
gard it, therefore, in fhe light 01
their Oh.istmaa and New Year's hoi
iday, so to speak; while older people enter into its enjoyment na mark
ing an important event in tin- history uf the rac-j—the recovery of ihe
second temi>iefrom theilftcedonians
The story rile among the people
concerning the origin of "lianue-
kah" is as follows: Antiochun Epi-
jihanes, a Syrian king, sometimes
called Epimanes, the niaennan, J7U
B. C„ sacked Jerusalem and commenced a .series 01 persecution* tliat
wcw finally thwarted hy Mithia>
and his sons the Maccabees. During
the time the temple was defiled in
the most shocking: manner.. Among
othor indignities, it is said, knowing
th<> Hebrew hatred for pork, pigs
were put upon the alter, and finally
services in the temple were broken
off for three years aud an attempt
made to introduce the worship of
the Greek deities, the statue of Jup-
ilor Olympus being set up in the
temple to this end. When at iast
the vandals were driven from the
temple, it was found thafc nearly everything but one case of oil which
had been sealed up by the rabbis and
; escaped notice, had been destroyed.
This was lighted upon the alter and
burned eight days. During the festivals and in commemoration of this,
Hebrews are required to light one
taper in their houses ou the first day
of "Hanuekah" and keep.it constantly burning; adding ono for each day
until eight tapers are burning.

"How much did you say   this
was?"
"Oh, a dollar and a half."
"That's a big pride, isn't it?"
"No, I assure you.   The drags are
very costly."
"JBut am I a druggist myself."
"Oh, yon are.   Well—of course—
15 cents."
