wrung from him an oath to marry
none but Jewess. Thereupon Miss
Picken determined to change her
faith, for she found that the more
she saw of the Jewish rites, the more
she admired them, for she saw
nothing to condemn, and nothing
but what the most devout Christian
could conform to-"
Before her formal admission to the
Jewish faith, she spent thirty days of
publication with an unnamed Jewish
family. During this period she was
INSTRUCTED in the rites and ceremon-
les of the Jewish household duties,
with dietetical prohibitions" and she
found that the Jews "dress their food
in superior style to the Americans
in general and certainly do excel as
regards health and cleanliness in the
preparation of their meals" She
gives an interesting account of the
ceremonies on the occasion of her
adopting Judaism. AS she signs her
self Mrs. S. J. Cohen, it is probable
that the name Sarah was given her
at that time. A week after her in
duction into Judaism, she was mar
ried to Mr.. Cohen
When her first son was born, she
grieved over his induction into the
Abrahamic rite, but as she had prom
ised obedience to the Jewish law,
she had to submit.
But" she says, 81 held out firmly
in all ceremonials, conscientiously
SO; nor could the strictest scrutiny
discover fault in this respect, al
though many eyes were upon me.
But all these things combined led me
to close determination, and the re-
suit was the deepest conviction that
I had erred. in forsaking
my people. ="
Her misgivings continued to prey
upon her mind, and she felt as if the
anger of the Lord were upon her
and that every trouble was judg-
ment from Him for leaving her faith.
SO when her son died in 1914, she
and her former friends regarded this
as punishment upon her for aban-
doning Christianity. Two years later
the family went to Baltimore, where
she enjoyed more peace of mind
than she had for years, having &C
cess to the best society amongst the
Jewish people," and seeing her
Christian friends without restraint.
Mrs. Cohen does not tell why the
family went to Baltimore, where
there was no congregation organized

us that she was "considered beauti-
full, interesting and attractive" and
that her society was courted by all.
At this time she met Abraham Hy-
man Cohen at the home of Chris
tan friend. It was case of love at
first sight with them both. But we
will let her tell her own story.
Il was seated by my young friend
at the piano, when a Wh1s-
per ran through the room. The Jew
ish priests son, who was ushered in
and introduced generally
requested an introduction to me, to
which [ assented ;; he then
took seat near me, and entered in
to conversation, which was support
ed by him in sprightly manner and
the evening passed off delightfully."-
When we were about to leave, Mr.
Cohen requested permission to wait
on me home, which readily granted.
But he had contrived while
adjusting my shawl to rob me of one
of my faxen ringlets, unseen by any
of the company.
1.-THE next morning | received a
note from my friend, requesting me
to call; l did so, and she smilingly
accosted me thus: why, Jane, you
have made a grand conquest of the
high priests son. I laughingly re-
piled, OF Jew to which she re-
sponded, Jew or Turk, it matters
not, provided he loves you. ."
It may not be amiss here to touch
briefly on the careers of Abraham
Hyman Cohen and his father, Jacob
Raphael Cohen. The latter served
as reader in Congregation Shearith
Israel in New York, alternating with
Hazan Touro during the War of the
Revolution. When Gershom Seixas
left Philadelphia in 1884 to return to
his old charge in New York, Jacob
Raphael Cohen was elected in his
stead as minister of Mikve Israel,
which position he retained until his
death in 1911. For four years after
the death of the older Cohen, the pull
pit of the congregation was unoccu-
pied, the son, Abraham Hyman Co.
hen, in the interim acting as reader.
1t is not unlikely that his marriage
with Miss Picken stood in the way of
his being elected to the office former
ly filled by his father.
1t was early in 1906 that Abraham
Hyman Cohen met Jeanette Picken,
and within a few weeks won her
promise of marriage. But the elders
of Mikve Israel summoned him be-
fore them, and at a stormy session,
during which his father. "a perfect

hear how one who has strayed from
Judaism and been converted to
Christianity, has been reclaimed by
the sound of the Shofar or the words
of the Shema Seldom do we have
an opportunity to learn how the
proselyte feels toward his original
faith, and to see how his inherited
sympathies react upon his acquired
Judaism. This we can observe in the
autobiography of a proselyte, the
wife of rabbi in Philadelphia and
Richmond. The book, which was
published in 1860, bears the title
"Henry Luria; or, The Little Jew
ish Convert" and is in the library of
the Jewish Theological Seminary,
having been found by Professor
Alexander Marx among lot of odd
volumes in a book-stall. Henry
Luria'' is the story of Jeanette Pick
en- and her husband, Rabbi Abraham
Hyman Cohen, and shows how she
is recalled to Christianity by the
death of her little son who gives the
book it's name. Born and reared in
the Christian faith, Miss Picken be-
came Jewess that she might marry
the man of her choice. The man was
a leader and teacher in Israel, and
needed as helpmeet one who could
exemplify in her own life the religion
of his people. That the woman
conscientiously and earnestly strove
to live a truly Jewish life is evident
from her memoirs, but it was task
beyond her. Strong as was her love
for her husband-and of this love
every mention of him gives evidence
stronger yet as time goes on, is her
inherited faith; and the inevitable
break comes, wrecking the peace of
both their lives. The story is told,
as Macaulay says of Madame D'Ar-
blay's Diary, in "true woman's Eng
lish, clear, natural and lively" and it
reveals Mrs. Cohen as a cultured,
lovable woman, with deep religious
and emotional strain.
Jeanette Picken was the daughter
of Andrew and Mary Picken. She
was born in mid-ocean, six weeks out
from England, and her early life was
spent in New York. After her
fathers death the family removed to
Philadelphia, where her mother
opened a school. But the yellow
fever epidemic of 1899 robbed the
girl of her mother and young broth
er, and she was adopted by Alexan-
der Lawson, a Scotch artist

chants kindness, and declared that it
proved he was right, the inheritance
came to him. Very true said Sheikh
Ahmed, God is indeed good to all who
trust in him. But he added, re

"The silver and the gold which had

king and his counselors and his
princes and all Israel We're "a free will
Offering, Ezra said. 1t had been free
ly given, and must have been at the
cost of much sacrifice on the part of
some Of the Israelites. Perhaps the
spirit of sacrifice shown by the volun-
teers 'shamed' those who remained
into giving more freely than they
otherwise would have done, just as it
did in the case of the workers of the
House Of the Good Samaritan. The
Youths Companion gives long ac-
count of how their free will offerings
were raised. The reports at "A recent
annual meeting We're all discOuraging,

lars, the sum that had to be raised
each year to pay the interest on the

men sprang to her feet and exclaimed
in shril voice: You ought to shame

! THE last sentence saved the day
except for that. some one might have
answered her with cold and digniiied
superiority But the proposal that
they all put their wheels to the shoul-
der relieved the tension by raising a
laugh. One of the members of the
board rose.
Mr. Chairman, he said, 'the very
least we can do is to accept this chal-
lenge. 1 do not see how it is possible

The grasshopper would seem to have
nothing in common with the seagull,
yet grasshoppers have been picked up
in swarms at sea, 1000 miles from the
nearest land.
The African grasshopper has been
known to cross the Red and Mediter-
ranean seas in destructive numbers
and even to fly to the Canary islands.
For the most part these grasshoppers
are Of q migratory species (Schisto-
vers tartarica) noted for it's great
flights. The bodies are about four
inches long and are equipped with
large air sacs in addition to the usual
breathing tubes. These sacs buoy up
the insect SO that it is able to stay in
the air for days at a time, exerting
practically no effort at all. During
flights its speed varies from three to
twenty miles an hour. When It is
tired it rests on the water and In
borne along on the waves.
