The Oriental Jews in New York, Of
whom there are about eight thousand. ac-
cordlng To n recent survey, occupy Pc
cular position. They are separated from
their co-reigionlsts. not only because they
speak an entirely different language, but
because they are Sephardim. as distin-
gushcd from AshkenaZim the former be-
ing the descendants OF the Portuguese
and Spanish Jews and the latter the Ger
man. Polish and Russian Jews The Sc
phardim pronounce Hebrew differently,
and, some contend. more accurately than
yergence In the ritual. Social distinctions
i'm the past have sometimes been so great
that iutermarrlagc was almost impos-
slble. They are isolated by language and
religious practice. The Scphardim who
came first asked In what part OF the city
the Jews lived. with the idea of going
among them to live. They were doomed
TO disappointment for they could not I'M
derstand tho tongue of their co-relgion-
lists The Spanish basis OF their language,
however fitted them for some degree OF
communication with the Italians. The
Turkish Jews are vegetarians 10 a great
or degree than their co-relgionists from
Central Europe. They also are accus-
toned to using olive oil In their cooking.
The choice OF location was also limited
by another consideration. They required
kosher meat. For these reasons tho
neighborhood which they chose for their
colony is bounded by Italians and Polish
and Russian Jews. Owing. however. TO
their llngual and social isolation. the
process OF characterization Is somewhat
slow, although they appear to be anxious
for naturalization as soon as the law will
permit.

FUGiTlvES FROM SPAIN.

When Ferdinand and Isabella ordered
the Jews out OF Spain in 1892 many went
into Portugal. and slightly more than go
years ago found their way TO the colony
esta bliShcd at the mouth OF the Hudson
River. They were permitted to settle here
after they mad undertaken 10 provide
among themselves for the needs of any
OF their poverty stricken ones. Descend
ants OF those settlers are still to be found
In this city.

man Empire. estIbl shed themselves there
and built up communities, in which the
Spanish language was spoken. According
to one student of Jewish types and their
origin, The traditional Semitic beauty.
which In women often assumes an eX-
Quis!te nobility. is generally found among
these Jews. II appears that In ad-
dition to the delicacy and the striking
symmetry OF the features which are often
met with, II is also the brilliant, radiant
eyes which gives these Sephardim their
reputation for bewitching elegance and
charm. The Spanish and Andalusian
women are said by some to owe their
charms to these beautiful eyes. which are
alleged 10 have their origin In the small
quantities of Semitic blood which flows I'm
their veins. Only very rarely is 20
be seen "A Spanish Jew displaying n ser
vile or crlnging attitude In the presence
OF superiors. as Is often 20 be seen among
German and Polish Jews. The Sephardim
are very proud. and their sense OF dignity
manifests Itself even In their dress and
department, to which they pay scrupulous
attention. These traits, which they ac-
quired while living for centuries among
the Castilians. have been transmitted to
their descendants of to-day. Rem
brandt has painted this type of Jews ex-
clusively. He met them In Amsterdam,
where many settled after their expulsion
from Spain and Portugal" This writer
points out that the Sephardim have taken
on many of the Genealogical traits OF
the races and peoples among whom they
live"
Owing TO the lack of opportunities for
education. the Jews in the Ottoman En-
pire have not risen high In the social
scale being tailors. shoemakers, carpen-
tiers. baggage porters. fish pedlers. barge
men, rag pedlers and such like. They
follow the Oriental custom OF sleeping on
pillows and cloths spread on the floor. II

from dodgers that they are able to pay the
