'The recent war with Spain has pro-
duced an interest in her people that
would never have existed but for this
unhappy event." writes Ivers Paine of
SaunGersviTe 1T has been a matter
of surprise to me that among the almost
numberless written articles concerning
this country, scarce mention has been
made Of its great Indebtedness to its
Jewish inhabitants. The celebrated ply
sicians of Spain were largely of He
brew origin, and one has but to care
fully examine the black and white re-
productions of the portraits OF her dis
tinguished men, to remark the Hebrew
nose and sensuous oriental lips
Mrs. Newton Causland in her de-
lightful "reminiscences of our fathers
and mothers times, Landmarks Of a
Literary Life" writes of her acquaint
, ance with Grace Aguilar, the Jewess
author of Home Influence and "A
Mothers Recompense, books that
charmed with their purity and sweet
ness the generation past. She told her
friend how many Jews and their
households fled from Spain to England
during 1900, and the early part of the
century now closing. Many retained
their estates in Spain, which yielded
handsome incomes under faithful care
Of Christian stewards. She also re-
lated a story illustrating the extent Of
Hebrew influence on Spanish life. An
ancestor, a courtier in high favor, lay
dying as became so distinguished
man. A cardinal was sent to admin
lister extreme JUNCTION and prepare for
death. The dying man, face TO face
with the inevitable, cried out, Cease
your ministrations-I am a Jew"
whereupon the cardinal Immediately
commenced TeCiting the Hebrew lit
urgy for the dying, for he was himself
a Jew.
Opulent Jews, calling themselves
Catholics, were abundant in Madrid
and elsewhere. More than one pala-
tial residence contained a secret cham
Der where Jehovah was WOrshipped in
the ancient Hebrew manner. 1t was
a single discovery of such worship
and the terrible attendant tragedy, that
caused Niros Aguilar's foTbears to flee
from Spain and make a home in Eng
land.
