JEWISH MEMORIAL SERVICE.
A Memorial Service was held in the Jewish Synagogue "Ohol Leah" on Sunday, the 3rd February, at 9 a.m. In the absence of a Rabbi, Mr. 5. Ar Joseph prepared and delivered the following address and prayers.
"My dear Fellow Congregants, We have assembled here to day to pay our last tribute to our late beloved Queen, It is our duty morally and religiously. To shed tears over, and to mourn the loss of a righteous person is considered by our religion a meritorious action, so it is not the feeling of gratitude and loyalty alone that brings us togetherto day; the occasion' has its religious claims also. It has been said by one of our illustrious Rabbi's that "It is un necessary to make monuments for the righteous; their deeds will commemorate them equally well" How completely this saying is exem- plined in the case of our beloved Queen'! Can her memory perish from the mind of man? will it be possible to write the history of the 19th- century with her name left out? I propose to take for my text to day the passage in Isaiah, Chap, i. v.2.Openye the gatesthat the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in." The Midrash comments on this verse to.point out that the gates of Heaven are open to all righteous people, be they Jew or Gentile, The use of the word " Goy which means equally a nation or a Gentile, is especially commented upon as showing that Heaven is not exclusively the Jew's portion. It is not necessary to be an Aaronite, a Levite, or an Israelite in order to inherit eternal life and happiness in the world to come. Artother illustrious Rabbi, Pre- sident of the Great Synhedrion, said if Gentile lives up to the law, he may be esteemed the equal of the High Priest, for it is written in Leviticus Chap. xviii.v.5 "Ye shall there fore keep my statutes and my judgements; which it a man do, he shall live in them; I am the Lord." He lays emphasis on the use of the word "man" and includes in that term any man of whatever religion or creed. The paraphrasers Jonathan, who flourished over nineteen hundred years ago, before the time of this great Rabbi, and Aquilas who lived in the first century of the Christian Era, both explained the phrase "Be shall live in them," mentioned in the text, as meaning eternal life, thus show- ing that no one leading a.vittuous life is de barred from enjoying it. Truly then the por tion of our Queen in the happiness of the world to come is assured! Ecclesiastes Chap. vii. v. 1. is translated "A good name is better than precious pintment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. This translation is not a clear one. In the original, the idea of the death and binh is connected with the possessor of "a good name" meaning that the day of his death is better than the day of his birth. The life of our Queen, affords a beautiful illustration of this text. When she was born, no one dreamt that such a great and virtuous ruler was destined to grace this earth, hose high quali ties as wife, mother, and queen would make her an example for all time; but the day of
virtad
ramove from our heads the crown of our glory! the God-fearing and virtuous Queen, our Lady and Sovercigo Victoria! Our hearts-gra·sore, and our griet is heavy at this great and irrepar- able loss. Most high God, King of the Uni verse May it be acceptable to Thee to hearken to the humble prayer that we lay before Thee, with tears and broken hearts, to admit into Crorlasting life and peace and happiness, with the souls of the upright and the righteous of all time, the soul of this virtuous Queen under the propection of whose rule we have enjoyed the blessings of freedom and prosperity, by of her just and benevolent laws, and of the love and motherly care which she extended to all her subjects of whatso ever creed or nation. Give her, we beseech Thee, of the fruit of her hands and the enjoyment of that Light reserved for the Righteous in the world to come, which no Tys baih scen but Thine, O Lord. "Merciful Father! In the manifold mercy comfort the hearts of her Royal sons and daughters, and of all the Royal Family, and comfort also our hearts and the hearts of the various races and nations who Are mourning her loss to-day. Comfort us all in our grief and sustain us all in our affliction. Let her enter into peace, let her rest in her bed, and let her uprightness go before her.-Amen." Psalm xlix was than sung and followed by the Kaddish,
PRAYER TOP THE KING AND THE ROYAL FAMILY.
"
The service concluded with the following May. He who dispenseth salvation unto kings and dominion unto princes, Whose kingdom -is an everlasting kingdom, Who delivered bis servant David, from the destructive sword, Who makethaway in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters, bless, preserve, guard, assist, exalt and raise unto a high eminence our most gracious sovereign King Edward VII. His Royal Conson, the Duke and Duchess of York, and all the members of the Royal Family. May the Supreme King of kings cralt and raise him on high," and grant: him a long and prosperous reign. May the Supreme King of Kings, through His infinite. mercy, inspire him and all his counsellors and officers with benevolence towards us, and all Israel our brethren. In his days and in ours may Judah he saved, and Israel dwell securely, this be the will of God, and let us say, and may the Redeemer come to Zion. May
Amen."
AT THE MAGISTRACY,
CLEVER CAPTURE OF A LETTER RUNNER. The practice of carrying letters from one place to another, especially between here and Canton, by inex who take the risk of being captured with unstamped letters in their pos- session, is a very popular one amongst certain classes of the Chinese. It is a very remunera- tive business as well, and if a man can run the gauntlet for a month or two he can afford to pay an occasional heavy fine, which of course is always imposed when a "renner" is caught, A rather clever piece of work was executed yesterday, when U Chin Leung, the "cham- pion" runner, from Canton to Hongkong was nailed by Sergeant. Macswayed. This man had a peculiar way of going about his business. The Sergeant saw him walking along quite innocently with a quantity of toy swords etc. suspended on string from his arms. He noticed that the Chinaman, however, looked rather bulky about the sleeves, and he re- quested him to unbutton his coat. A refusal was given, but Sergeant Macswayed did the trick for him and saw that he had a packet of unstamped letters inside each of his sleeves and some inside his jacket The result of this little search was that the Chinaman found himself this morning charged before Mr. Hazeland with transgressing the Post Office laws.
His Worship fined the defendant, who is only a young man, Stoo or in default of pay- ment three months hard labour.
Almost needless to say the fine was paid." ~ T

OBSTREPEROUS R. A MAN.
A man named S. Watkins, gunner in the Royal Artillery, was charged this morning before Mr. Kemp as a result of his rowdy cob duct at Shaukiwan yesterday. He had three charges standing against him but was found guilty on only two of them.
For committing a nuisance in the complain ants' shop a fine of $3 was inflicted, and for assaulting an Indian policeman while in the execution of his duty, a fine of $5 was imposed.
The complainant was a shopkeeper in Shau-

SNAILS AS FOOD.
Neverthe.
The stories about Frenchmen eating snalls are believed by many people to have no founda tion in fact, but to be only a phase of the exaggeration in which people are apt to indulge ia describing the queer things that are to be found on Parisian dining tables. less, it is a fact that nearly 100,000lb of snails are sold daily in the Paris markets to be caten by dwellers in Paris. They are care snail gardens in the provinces, and fed on fully reared for the purpose in extensive
aromatic herbs to make their favour finer. One Ballery in Dijon is said to bring in to its pre- prietor 7000 francs a year. Many Swiss can- tons also contain large snail gardens, where they are grown with much pains. They are not only regarded as a great delicacy, but are reckoned as very nutritious. Hygienists say that they contain 17 per cent. of nitrogenous matter, and that they are equal to oysters in nutritive properties. Snails are also exten- sively used is an article of food in Austria, Spain, Italy, and Egypt, and the countries on the African side of the Mediterranean. Indeed, the habit of eating snails as food has existed in various parts of Europe for many centuries.
