LITERARY NOTES, BY RABBI
C. DAVID MATT.
X Esther And Harbonah.

Mendes, pp 118; The German Press, Bos.
ton, 1917; $1.25, net.
The most recent Purim Play pub
lished, Esther And Harbonah", re-
calls to mind the test laid down by
the critic who advised the ambitious
author to store away his master
piece" for a year; then reread it
critically, and if it seemed as meri-
: torious as at first, to publish it. The
present author, Rev. DR.. H. Pereira
Mendes, fully followed such pro-
cedure, for his play was written
forty years ago, tho but recently
published. One is inclined to agree
with the author that in spite of the
long lapse of time the play was we'll
worth publishing, and for many rea-
sons. In the first place it is written
in excellent verse it introduces some
fine lyrics, best known of which is
the deservedly popular "Knowest
Thou The Land" (p. 16) which has
been often reprinted. There are also
some very good paraphrases of the
Bible, notably, the Son of Moses (p.
l9) and several Psalms Opp. "a, 78).
AS for excerpts of the Book of
Esther, not only are these faithfully
translated" but they are rendered
into very~readable verse (pp.7O, 83),
and where the text is embellished,
it brings out most strikingly the
possibilities of the original Hebrew,
as in the description of the kings
feast Up. 40).
The author makes copious use of
the traditional explanations of the
Esther story, so that reading the
play one is strongly reminded of the
Midrashim on Purim. Perhaps that
is whence the title and plot of the
play are derived. In the Bible, Har-
bonah is mentioned but twice: as
one of the kings seven councillors;
and again when he mentions Ha-
mans intention to hang Mordecai,
precisely at the moment when the
king wishes to punish Haman. The
Midrash, however, represents Har-
bonah and Haman as rivals, SO that
the former in self-defense brings
punishment upon Hannah. Be that
as it may, the hymn, "Shoshanas
Jacob" at the close of the Purim,
service reads, Cursed be Hannah
blessed be Mordecai'. ;. +. cursed
be Zeresh J.. blessed be Esther

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

utllCc VI IIC popularity VI lIS
Esther-story with the playwright.
the volume before us is intended as
a philippe against intermarriage.
The Jewish attitude to intermarriage
is tellingly handled, as witness the
following excerpts:
g. A Jewish maid
With aught of Jewish feeling in her heart
Would scorn to wed outside her fathers
faith" (p. 34)
20 agony, O nameless pain, when child
God" (p. SD
&c. How can happiness exist,
For son or daughter, wed with conscious
That he or she by taking spouse outside
The fathers faith, has fastened fathers
death,
Or aged the mother, bent her gentle
With pain, humiliation, -" Up. SD
been
A traitor to his race, his faith, his God"
(p. 50)
Intermarriage, our author believes, is
due to Indifference, begotten of being
merely "A Jew at heart" to which he
pays his respects as follows:
.. o, hate the canting phrase,
4 am Jew at heart from out the lips
OF bastard Jew, who like non-Jew lives,
Who breaks the Sabbath, scorns the laws,
who lies
When saying, love God!' The test Of
love
Is sacrifice we make for those we love.
What sacrifice make Jews at heart like
these,
To prove their love for Him they dare
call God?"
Or, to state it positively,
&c. =. He was what is
Called a Jew at heart that is, he had
No heart for Jewish duty! Synagogue
He did not visit. Worship in his home
He knew it not! His sons and daughters
grew
To manhood and to womanhood without
A knowledge of the duties, Faith and
Hopes
OF Israel! What else can we expect?
The daughters marry out their faith or
wed
Some lew at heart some compromising
cur ~
Who hath no heart for God, no heart for
aught
Save worldly pleasure, worldly aim-as If
A life without q God could be life

Rose Culture In Bulgaria.

White and red roses are grown, the

giving only about half as much oil OF
an inferior quality. The individual
growers dlstil their own Oil Twelve
to fifteen kilos of roses are distilled
with 60 kilos OF water until 13
kilos Of distillate are obtained; eight
to ten such lots are then united, and
redistilled into long necked TASKS, in
which the oil separates on standing
To produce one kilo of oil requires
1900 kilos of roses Of 100000 flow
ers. The roses are gathered in the
early morning and distilled the same
day, The pure oil from the various
districts shows variations In odor and
physical properties. and is therefore
skillfully blended by the distributing

HOOVER POINTS TO NEW GOALS.
After one victory general does not
rest ON his oars but looks around to
see what his next objective must be.
Similarly Herbert Hoover, comman-
derIn-chief of the Allied Food Army,
having successfully triumphed over
one years obstacles has calculated
that successes must be won next
year, and he tells his discovery to
the American people whose place is in
the forefront OF the Food Fight. The
shipping problem has not been so far
solved that any considerable help can
yet be expected from far off lands
such as India and Australia where
vast but immoyable wheat reserves
are piling up
The total food that must be i'm.
ported by the Allies for human con-
sumption in the year beginning Sep
tember LIST, Mr.. Hoover reports is in
round numbers as follows:
Cereals for human consumption,
500,000,000 bushels.
Fats (Dork products, vegetable oils),
bO0O,OO0,00O pounds.
Sugar, 1900 900 tons.
Beef products for civilian consump-
ton, 900, 100000 pounds.
In addition to this, beef must be i'm
ported for army needs and oats for
army horses
II this program is fulfilled there will
be no need for drastic rationing of
their food as during last year except
In beef and sugar. The world short
age in these two commodities makes
Il hopeless to satisfy their whole need.
On the other hand this program pro
vides an ample supply Of bread and
fats, without the rRtioning of either,
and together with their own produc-
ton gives sufficient supplies The re.
striodons on the consumption of pork
products in Allied countries have al
ready been removed and bread will
be In full supply by September LIST,
and OF better quality than last year.
and 1t has been pretty bad in France

PROUD OF HIS SELF-CoNT..::u
Mrs. Brown Could Agree Wish Her
LIege Lord, Too, That 1t Was
Something Uncommon.

Mr.. Brown was excitable by nature.
but he often prided himself audibly
upon his self-control. One night while
the family were gathered at the tea
table the chimney began to roar; the
furnace draft had been opened and for.
gotten. Straightway panic enBaed.
Don't lose your heads-keep COOL"
cried Mr. Brown. ITS nothing seri-
ous."
He dashed up the stairs, discovered
that the metal cap over the only I'M
used stovepipe hole was already red
hot, and dashed down again faster
than he went up.
"K-keep COOL" he gasped. as ho
passed through the room where the
family had gathered in nervous appre-
hepsion. "I1l be back in minute"
He was back in less than that time,
having observed that the flames were
spouting several feet high from the
chimney, and that shower of sparks
was falling upon the roof.
"Wh-where's the stepladderf" he
painted.
lie was gone Detore anyone coulu
answer the question, and presently
was heard believing from the roof Of
the woodshed He presented an heroic
figure in the glare Of the blazing
chimney.
I've got one end of the hosel" he
called. Some one attach the Other
end and turn on the water-quick!"
Two long minutes passed.
"Why doesn't some one do as I or
dered?" he thundered. do you want
the place to burn up?"
I'VE can't, Henryl" called Mrs.
Brown, tremblingly. you haven't got
the hose-you've got the cow-rope. 1t
was hanging next to the hose in the
shed And anyway, the roof ia covered
with ice, and don't think there's any
great danger outside You'd better go
and watch the chimney from the in
side"
A halfhour later the family were
again at the tea table.
IF this had happened in some
homes" remarked Mr.. Brown, "tha
family would have lost their her IS
completely and sent in an alarm. SELF
control is an excellent thing-and far
from common"
Indeed 1t isl" agreed Mrs. Brown.
