names of Biblical geographical and generic orr
gin, names of traders and of the ANIMAL vegetable,
and mineral kingdoms. The majority are without
doubt Teutonc, and must be due to the early and
long continued settlements of Hebrews in various
parts of Germany.
At the beginning of this century, the position OF
Jews in many parts of Europe was greatly improved
bv the removal of rksome restrictions. Frederick
William ILL., King of Prussia, on March II, 1912,
promulgated law which, among other things, pro-
vided for a census of those Jews who wished to be
reckoned among citizens. The entries were made at
a government office, where the head of the family
had to attend, and give his name, and those OF his
family together with other details. TO fulfil this re
qurement was matter of difficulty with some Jews,
as up to that date many had been satisfied with
first names only, being described their fathers
sons in accordance with Hebrew custom, as Menas-
seh the son of Israel (Menasseh ben Israeli Moses
ben Mai1non (Maimonides) had been known in their
time Under this law the adoption Of surnames be
came compulsory A period of six weeks, from Au-
gust 1st to September r. 1872 was granted for the
entry of names the official register
The Grand Duchy of Baden had passed earlier
statute, in 1909, for the adoption of surnames; in
Bavaria similar enactment came into force IN June,
1913, and in Denmark in 1914. The Danish ordi-
nance laid great stress upon son inherting his IA
theirs name intact. The Prussian government
served to itself the right to refuse within eight days
the acceptance of surnames submitted to it. and on
insisting upon another choice being made.
1t was understood that those who already pos
sessed surnames should continue to bear Them and if
they desired to change it would be only the
conditions as Christians. The head of the family
alone was responsible, and the members were bound
to adopt the name he had chosen. Minors over IA
and spendthrifts in statu pupilarI were allowed to
make their selection. Of course many Israetish
families bore before the nineteenth century,
as the of Mendelssohn Beer Jafe, and others.
In Holland law for the adoption of surnames
was enacted in 1911, but the Sephardic Jews, who
came from the Iberian peninsula to settle after the
persecution, already had names which they retained
and thus the many Spanish and Portuguese appella-
tions existing in Holland and England can be
counted for. The Bavarian governme1 1T dsapproved

Oppenheimer reminds of the frequency with which
the name OF this Hessian town in Jewish

Commission for Jewish Historical Studies (Ouelen

the princes made special applications to the Jews of
Frankfort for acontributon to redeem the mortgage
upon Oppenheim then held by the Archbishop of
Mayence The demand is Pro conservatione cas-

Tho Secret Of French Bread.

Miss Parloa is quoted to the effect
tlrat one of the secrets Of the genuine
French bread, which it seems to be the
ambition of many housekeepers to du-
plioate in their kitchen, lies in the fact
that the dough is worked without too
much dry -four. It is not kneaded very
much, and what little kneading there is
Is accomplished with less -four than the
average breadmaker would consider pos
sible. This scant kneading accounts,
ino, for its quick drying French bread,
like French butter, is for this day only.
The more dough is kneaded tho finer
grained it will. be and the longer it will
keep. Another caution in the attempt to
make French bread is that it must not
rise too long.

man that he is, he utilizes what he has
to the best possible advantage. The
barn is 1870 feet long and there are tied
up in it only cattle enough to allow q
sufficient amount of fresh air for each
one. The barn is we'll lighted and in
addition has clean, cheerful look, by
having all Of the woodwork inside white

freely used about the stall to make
cleanliness doubly sure. The milk, as
soon as drawn, is removed at once from
the barn to an adjoining milkroom, to
which barn odors are absolutely inac-
cessible. Here it is strained, run through
a large mixer, drawn of into cans and
