BEGAN EARLY IN CHRISTIAN ERA.
In the year 81 of the Christian era twenty
thousand Israelites were massacred at Jeru-
SALEM and in the year 90 eighty thousand more
were there killed. In the SEVENTEEN year of the
first century the capture and destruction OIL
Jerusalem by the Romans under Titus exceeded
in horror all other records of human suffering
It was the great annual festival of the Pass
over and million souls were gathered in the
city The slaughter that ragged among this null
titude was enormous. Besidts the 1,113,SOO
Israeltes who on this occasion perished in Pales-
tine the Greeks killed fifty thousand in Antioch
and fifty thousand more in Alexandria. In the
year 116 again sixty thousand were killed at
Alexandria. In 412 Bishop Cyril of Alexandria
a great father of the Christian Church, perse-
cuted the Jews, pIundered their possessions and
one day expelled every one of them from the
city.
In Spain the Jews have had numerous colonies

TERROR OF INQUISITION.

In 1412-'14 the Jews had to endure another
bloody persecution throughout the Iberian Pen
insua, and by the middle of the fifteenth century
we read of nothing in their history but persecu-
tion. violent conversion, massacre and the tort
ures Of the Inquisition. From the period Of its
introduction in It's later form In Spain d4sD to
the time of its abrogation (1sOs) the Inquistion.
according to the estimate of Llorente, once Its
secretary, had burned alive 1912 Jews, had
burned in eftigy 1859. and had inflicted severe
punishnents of other kinds 8s1.456 In one
year ESQ Jews were burned TO death in Seville
alone. At length the final horror came in 1882
when Ferdinand and Isabella issued edict for
the expulsion of all who refused to become
Christians. About 100000 Jews resolved TO
abandon the country which their ancestors had
inhabited for more than fifteen centuries and
to whose greatness wealth and culture they had
contributed much
The incidents that marked their departure are
heartrending. Almost every land was shut
against them. OF the $4,000 who obtained an
entrance into Portugal on payment of eight gold
pieces a. head, but only for eight months, TO
enable them to obtain means of departure to
other countries, many fingered after the expira-
ton of the appointed time, and the poorer were
sold as slaves In 1896 King Emanuel COM
manded them to quit Portugal, but at the same
time issued a secret order that all Jewish chill
dren under fourteen years should be torn from
their mothers, retained in Portugal and brought
UP as Christians. Agony drove he Jewish
mothers to madness; they destroyed their chill
dren with their own hands, and threw them into
wells and rivers, to prevent them from raining
into the hands of their prosecutors. Neither
were the niseries of those who embraced Chris
tianity but who, for the most part, secretly ad-
hered to their old faith. less dreadful. These
so-called Marranos fell victims to the Inquisi-
ton, and a great number were burned alive.
Autos -da-fe of suspected converts took place In
Spain as late as 1855, in Portugal as late as
1776 and in South America as late as 1872.

MAssACRES IN ITALY.

In Italy similar prosecutions have been en-
dured by the Jews Especially when the weak
Carlovingians began to rule, and the Church to
advance with imperious strides. the great
periods of humiliation and suffering Of Jews in
that country began. Kings. bishops. feudaI

Jews became nothing less than successive

100 five hundred Jews were besieged by tsa
knights OF England in the castle OF York And
finding resistance useless, cut one anothsr,s
throats rather than fall a prey to the Christie,
knights. In 1904 Jews of both sexes wera ins
prisoned their eyes teeth plucked out and
numbers butchered by King John. In I9sS
seven hundred Jews were slain in London
and In 1918 fully 1.2OO Jews were hanged

expulsion from England Q29Ol. after a vain
attempt to convert them to Christianity pre-

their return under Rabbi Manasseh, became

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
