Sir Edward sassoon's Family.

BY Sir Edward Sassoons election for
Hythe the number of Jews sitting in
the present House of Commons is in
creased to nine. This, according to the
Jewish Chronicle is the largest num-
ber of Jewish members at amy one time
The Sassoon family is of considerable
antiquity. They are said to be descend
ed from a group of families known as
the Ibu Shcshans, who at one time held
the Naisarship of Toledo. There is also
a tradition that the family is of Da-
vidic descent, and it was due to this
belief that the great-grandfather of Sir
Edward Sassoon was invested with the
Nasirship of Bagdad.
In the sixteenth century Bagdad be-
came the center for Jews from Toledo,
and Sir Edwards ancestors lived there
for generations, distinguished alike by
their wealth and their piety.
Sir Edward inhabits the grandiose
house in Park Lane which was built
for the late Barney Barnato, who died
before it was finished. He is an elder
of the Spanish and Portuguese congre-
cation, of which he has been presiding
warden.-London Star

Roman Stage Carpentry.

The excavations now going on in the
Theater of Dugga, in Tunis, show that
the Romans possessed for their theaters
a system of stage carpentry equal if
not superior to the appliances now in
use. An ingenious contrivance enabled
those who stood underneath the stage
to see what was proceeding above. A
number of trapdoors opened in the
center of the stage, and grooves have
been discovered showing the way in
which scenery and stage furniture were
led to several dry wells three yards
deep under the stage, while a large re-
ceptacle served to store the curtain dur
ing the performance. The floor of the
stage was covered with mosaics.-Rome
