1872

by the next king Chintila, all anti
Jewish legislation was again con-
frmed, and a decree passed that
none should be tolerated in the en-
pire who was not of the Catholic
faith. The canonical law was added
that every future King before as
cending the throne should take
solemn oath to guard the Catholic
faith from violation by converted
Jews. The ecclesiastics rejoiced over
their signal triumph, and praised the
kings piety. There was no escape
for the Jews now. A wholesale emf
grafton took place, while those who
remained had to sign pledge to be
faithful to the church.
A change for the better came un-
der the next King, Chindaswinth,
who was at war with the clergy and
defed their authority, and there
fore favored the Jews, and allowed
them to return to their allegiance
to the synagogue. But it was only
a brief spell of sunshine for them.
The next King Receswinth, son of
the former, made his peace with the
religious forces by submitting to
them, and the Jews were again the
victims. While no new measures
were adopted, all the old ones were
confirmed. The efforts of king and
clergy were directed toward bring
ing back to, and keeping in, the
Christian fold all those who had
once been nominal1y converted. The
Jews of the capital, Toledo, once
more signed pledge to be loyal
to the church, taking an oath by
the Trinity, and agreeing that he
who violated it should be put to
death by fire or stoning. Most like
ly the Jews of other communities
were compelled to give similar writ
ten guarantees. The ironic cruelty
Of their masters, however, showed
itself in the fact that these converts
had to continue to pay the special
Jew-tax to insure the state against
financial loss.
King Receswinth was also deter
mined that the Jews should be
given no protection by the mobiles
who were threatened with excom-
munication. In addition, the clergy
hit upon the plan of compelling all
the Christianized Jews to spend
both Jewish and Christian holy
days under church supervision to
make sure they would neglect the
Jewish and observe the Christian
festivals.

AMBASSADOR MORGEN-
THAU.

When President Wilson appoint
ed Mr.. Henry Morgenthau as Turk
ish ambassador, it was universally
felt that the honor which had been
conferred upon Mr.. Morgenthau,
was but slight. A seat in the Presl-
dents Cabinet or a post at some
European capital. it was then
thought. would have indicated
spirit of far greater trustfulness on
the part of our government than did
the appointment to Turkey. Yet,
in the light of present events and
conditions, there is not position
within the gift of our government
which could be more important at
this time than that into which Mr..
Morgenthau has been placed. The
strategy of the great generals in the
present war pales into insigni6cance
when compared with the ability and
greatness which the American am
bassador has shown in his manage
ment of affairs in Turkey.
The interests of no fewer than
eight nations-the United States,
England, France, Belgium, Servia,
Italy, Montenegro and even Russia
have been entrusted to Mr.. Nor
genthau's care. And he has repre-
sented all these nations with the
ability and power that stamp him
as statesman of the very first
order and as genius of the rarest
type. If it were not for him, there
is no telling how many thousands
of lives would have been sacrificed
to the race hatred of the turbulent
population in Turkey. Even in times
of peace the confused conditions of
the Turkish domains make the life
and property of foreigners unsafe.
In a time of war the safety of
aliens seems almost an impossible
ity. Yet the rare craftsmanship
and the incessant and self-sacrific-
ing labors of Mr.. Morgenthau have
succeeded in preserving a state of
safety and security, not only for
neutral Americans, but also for the
subjects of the hostile and belliger-
ent nations. What a glorious
achievement, indeed What an ever
lasting gratitude the Jewish ambas-
sador has earned from the hundreds
of thousands whom he has rescued
and whose lives and property he has
saved!

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Jewish converts is called, is again
the concern of the Council Of Tole-
do, which was this time presided
over by Julian, the archbishop OF
Toledo, himself of Jewish origin.
Stricter measures of supervision by
the clergy of converted Jews were
adopted, and all Jews still loyal to
the synagogue were commanded to
offer themselves for baptism on pen
atty of torture, Punishment, and con-
fscation of their property.
Conditions did not change under
the next King Egica. The Jews,
driven to desperation, at length con-
ceived the idea of seeking relief by
overthrowing the rule of their cruel
masters. They might find allies for
that purpose in their more fortunate
brethren in Africa, perhaps also in
the Mohammedans on the neighbor-
ing African coast, and in the re-
bellious mobiles of Spain. But their
plot was discovered and they were
made to suffer severely for it (694.
They we're scattered throughout the
country as slaves, their owners be-
ing prohibited from ever freeing
them. Their children were torn
from them and raised as Christians.
The only ones who were spared this
cruel fate, on condition that they
abjure their fate, were the Jewish
warriors who occupied the narrow
passes of the Pyrenees, being in
dispensable for the protection of the
country.
Thus did the hideous nightmare
of the life of the Jews under their
Visigothic masters continue for
over a century from the time Re-
cared embraced the Catholic faith
until the death of Egica. 1t was
shortly after that, that their avenger
arose, coming from the very region
to which they had few years pre-
viously longingly looked for help
the northern shore of Africa. The
followers of the Arabian prophet
had now carried their victorious
arms to the very Pillars of Hercules,
and now the Iberian peninsula was
beckoning to them as a rich field for
new harvests. With the Arab con-
quest new period opened in the
history of the Jews of Spain.

Battle of Alma.

Sixty years ago soldiers of Britain and France, fighting side by side, achieved one of the most brilliant vic tories in the annals of war. Never has the valiant fighting spirit of the British troops been better shown than when, on September 20, 1854, they waded through the River Alma, amidst a shower of bullets, fought their way up the precipitous banks on the other side of the river and, hav- ing burst through the dense under growth of vineyards, drove back the Russians, who were led by Prince Menschikoff.
 The British troops were led by Lord Raglan and the French by Marshal St. Arnaud. Three thousand three hundred of the allies were killed and wounded, heavy loss when one con siders that the British forces num- bered only about twenty-seven thou sand and the French thirty thousand.

Cupid Versus Cash.

While making his midnight collec- tion a Wayne avenue letter carrier was greatly mystified recently when he discovered new ten-dollar bill lying loose among the mail matter in the box As even Santa Claus would hardly remember him in such an in- formal fashion, the carrier turned in the money at the Chelten avenue post office the same night.
 Early next morning a greatly agi- tated young lady appeared at the of- flee and explained that she had start ed out to mail a letter and pay the druggists monthly account the eve ming previous. On the corner she had met an acquaintance (here she blushed) and while engaged in con- versation had absent-mindedly mailed the banknote instead of her letter. Philadelphia Record.

A Patriotic Ship Owner.

We can now ship hosts of troops with the greatest ease from all parts of the empire to the scene of warfare, yet in December, 1854, when Napoleon III offered to send re-enforcements of 20,000 men to the Crimea, if we would convey them, the government was on the point of declining, on the ground that no transports were available for such work It was eventually decided to ask some of the great steamship companies for assistance, and at the next cabinet Sir James Graham an nounced that this had been done.

BUILD JAW OF SILVER WIRE
Philadelphia Surgeon Suggests Opera ton That Will Replace Loss of
 Bone.

Surgeons and medical students at tending Jefferson Medical College and Hospital discussed with great interest a remarkable operation suggested by a leading surgeon at clinic on Wednesday in which an artificial jaw, made of silver wire shall take the place of one whose entire removal IS made necessary because of infection or death to the bone.
 Removal of the jaw sometimes IS necessary if the life of a patient is to be saved. It always results in great disagreement, as well as serious inter ference with swallowing and speech. A surgeon attached to the hospital said the suggestion of using silver wire for building up an artificial jaw was an idea worth the most serious attention. He added:
 Under certain circumstances we can remove the jaw, but leave the peri osteum and muscle attachments. This new idea is then to take silver wire, twist it into the proper shape. ana cover it with the periosteum. Under good conditions I have no doubt that there soon will begin a process or bone growth from the periosteum, which will form over the silver wire model, which will act as scaffold for the new bone growth. After time we can begin to remove small sec tions of the silver wire as the new jaw grows stronger. The regenera- tion taking place from the periosteum should, according to all surgeons can surmise, form quite a good new jaw -Philadelphia Public Ledger.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR AMERICA
Camphor Is to Be Installed in PhiIadeI phia.

The American CamphOr corporation, incorporated for the manufacture of gum camphor, has taken the building on the southeast corner of Lehigh avenue and Edgemont street, which is being fitted as the pioneer plant in the manufacture of this product in the United States, remarks the Phila delphia Ledger.
 While it's product will be available for pharmaceutical purposes, the cor pOratiOn purposes catering to manu- lecturers of celluloid who take about eighty per cent of the gum camphor imported into this country
 Equipment for giving the factory an output of 25,000 pounds a day will be installed in a few weeks, and by mid winter the plant is to be in complete operation, consuming daily 3,200 pounds of turpentine, the base of synthetic camphor. As a by-product, the company will have a daily produc- tion of about five tons of glauber salts, which enters into the manufac- ture of dyes.
 This cOuntry's consumption of cam phor is estimated at 12,500 pounds a day, of which the Philadelphia factory when running full, can, it is said, sup ply about twenty per cent.

CHANGE NAMES OF STREETS
Frenchmen Find Time for Sma'l Things in Midst of a National
 Crisis.

The French are curious compound of earnestness and lightness. No mat fer how imminent a crisis, or how threatening the ruin, they never fall to pay all due attention to the correct out ward form. In the present tremendous crisis of French affairs one would think that the last thing the Parisian author ities would concern themselves about would be the naming of streets. And yet according to recent dispatches, the city council, upon hearing of the brave defense made at Liege, passed an ordinance changing the name of the Rue de Berlin to the Rue de Liege.
 This was more than duplicated in 1870. After the catastrophe of Sedan. the ruin of Napoleon HIS empire and the establishment of the infant repub- lie, the national assembly, sitting in Paris on matters for the safety of the country, while the Prussians were laundering down upon the city, con- cerned themselves largely with chang ing the names of things from "Imperi- al and Royal to National" Among others, they passed after heated de- bate, a decree changing the name of the royal Bengal tiger in the Paris zoo to that of the national Bengal tiger, and instructed the custodians to see that the signs were changed at once.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

Experience has shown that the clos ing up of the saloons and the outlaw ing of the liquor traffic has always proved a great benefit to every legi- innate industry. A chapter in the history of Ireland furnishes a graphic illustration During the years 1S09-10 and 1S13-14 the distilleries of Ireland were stopped on account of the fam inc, on the ground that these distil- leries wasted the grain that might otherwise be used by the people as food. The results were surprising. The consumption of spirits fell off nearly one-half. On the other hand, there was tremendous increase in the demand for dry goods, blankets, cotton goods, sugar, hardware, crock cry, groceries and other necessities, thus showing that year of scarcity with prohibition is better than a year of plenty without it.

P0LlTENESS ON THE WIRE
Really Seems 10 Be Fact That Good Manners Are Forgotten by Tele-
 phone Users.

"I don't understand why anybody is impOlite over the phOne.' remarked woman visiting in New York, unless he is cowardly or unless the phone, like wine, brings out the real charac- ter of people. And I especially don't see why women should be impolite to women.
 The most provoking instance have had in many days occurred right here in New York. An old and dear friend of mine whom l had not seen in years had married and come to New York to live. Her married name was Blank leigh, let us say, but I did not know her husbands initials and had no idea where she lived. It was my first visit to New York and wanted to see her
 My only hope was that she was in the telephone book and to it 1 went. | found six Blankleighs. any one of whom might be she but which one? It was for me to find out and l began with the first one.
 "I asked for Mrs. Blankleigh and she came to the receiver. l apOlogized and explained why I had called and asked if she were my old friend The sway she snapped out that she wasn't and rang off was something awful
 The following three were variants of the first, not much better and not any worse. Only one of them was a man and he just laughed and said there wasn't any Mrs. Blankleigh in his house at present, but if land then 1 rang off
 "The fifth was the one I sought and didn't have to seek any further. Now 1 am thinking whether or not to call up the sixth and see if she is any more polite and considerate than the others. And it would have been just as easy to have been polite and nice about it and tried to help me, wouldn't it?"
