they had known how painful it was for
the mother and brother TO hear that

bearing such a name !"
" Would you have it," the son said,
" that she should have kept her honest
Jewish name? Do youknow who Dinah
was? She was the daughter of Jacob
and Leah. Now, would you have it that
she should be called by the name which
the child Of our progenitor bore? How
can she bear a JewishSname?"

Deep silence was reinstatcd in the
house all at once. The old woman did
not wall any more, and seemed to have
fallen asleep. Has she DISCHARGED her
grief with her words, and felt the easier

night when Joseph left his place by the
window, but not for the purpose of going
to bed. The old mother. who had not
fallen to sleep heard him feel his way

But she could not ask him whittier he

A most unpleasant sensation thrills
through the nerves at the touch of a
dead body, the shell of an unknown spirit
which was formed to be broken again.
This sensation is an unconscious thought
of what the living body is, and what it
pretends to be how it is proud of the
animal life pulsating through it, and how
little it is required to reduce the haugh-
ty structure to silence and decay. And
vet when the dead body is removed from
the eyes which shed tears, and from the
hearts which bleed over it, it will be for

SINGERS.

Considering the literary productions
Of the Jews their endeavors in the do
main Of art are insignificant. In the
arts of culture, in sculptury and paint
ing, they have never tried their powers;
their religion prevented them from do
ing so. Music, however, has always oc-
cupied an important position with them;
both vocally and instrumentally was it
nurtured by them.
The Jewish women of all times like
most Oriental women, have loved
song, dance and music Mention of jew
ish songstresses is already made in the
Bible, and, in the Temple of Jerusalem,
Women's voices joined in the devotional
songs. In later times not even the de-
cision of the Talmud and the rabbins.
according to which the song of woman
is prohibited as unchaste, could him
der the Jewish women of Spain and
other countries from practi;ing instru-
mental and vocal music exclusive Of
the dance.
In Italy, the land of poetr.. and song.
the Jews devoted themselves. more than
those Of any other country and with
brisk energy, to the culture of music
and more especially, to that of song.
They had their own singipg-scho
which were also visited by Christians,
and there were Jewish composers and
singing-teachers. At the beginning Of
the 18th century, 1909, we already hear
of a celebrated jewish songstress of
Venice, Rachel, who seems to have
made a profession of her art and was
invited to all the houses of the distin-
guished nobility.

Toward the end Of the same century,
German princes and princesses were de-
lighted by the voice of Jewish singer,
Brentgen Marcus, daughter of Marcus
Isaac, whose Extraordinary voice" had
also been heard and admired by the
Prince of Anhalt, was to go to Berlin at
the wish of it's great elector, in order. as
the elector writes to the Prince of An
halt, that she may entertain our most
gracious consort with her songs and, at
the discretion Of the same, may practice
more and perfect herself in music and
may learn to regulate and employ her
extraordinary voice according to art ard
method" 1t it to be lamented that all
traces Of the later history of this first
Jewish court-songstrcss are lost.

whatever concerning the prima-donnas

lived in Germany, mostly in Berlin;
