nPharisee.V

Pharisee is a Greek word which was
made from the Hebrew word ''parash."
"Parash" meant separate and it
would not be unreasonable to think
that our word parish" and separate
are descended from ''parash." The
word t'parash" came to be applied by
the Jews to a member of a Jewish
school which accepted the Scriptures
literally and exactly and placed great
stress on the observance of the forms
and ceremonies of their church. They
so often slipped up on the observance
of the essential things and the spirit
Of their religion and gave little heed
TO the spirit. Gradually the word
fParash" came to mean a hypcrite
and the Greeks rendered the word
''pharisee." The Greeks adopted the
meaning of the word and they called
that man a ''phariseep who was a
mimic and whose duty it was to ae-
company the delivery of an actor by
making the appropriate gestures. With
the Greeks pharisee came to mean q
''pretender' or one who put on false
appearance. Then, later, 1t came to
mean among the Greeks and Romans
religious pretender.

TRUTH ABOUT ARCTIC REGION
Discoveries Made by stefansson Dis
prove Theories When Have
Been Held for Centuries.

There is a rather general idea that
the land around the Arctic sea is life
less. And another widely-held BELIEF
is that only very few fish exist in the
waters near the poles. Both of these
ideas have been disproved by Ste
fansson In his book, "The Friendly
Arctic"
To prove, that fish did exist in those
frigid and remote regions, the author
and his companions risked their lives,
for they purposely crossed the Beau
fort sea without taking food supplies.
Fortunately their belief was justified
and they were able to live on the life
found IN the sea. There is as much
fish to the cubic mile of the Arctic
sea as in any other sea, while on the
land there are birds by the million,
insects galore and many other forms
of life,
Then again, there has been COM
mon belief that during the dark peri
cd, the long might" of the North, the
Eskimo is idle. Such is not the case !;
although he reserves this period gem
orally for social activities. Friends
make long Journeys to one another
and on arriving devote the time to
dancing, singing and merrymaking.
Indeed, by many the winter darkness
is eagerly awaited.

Good Work Of spanish Jew.

In the Twelfth and Thirteenth CEN
turtles Spanish Jews translated Moor
ish scientific works from Arabic into
Castilian, and by roundabout but inn
portant road contributed to the re-
vival of classical learning. The great
service which the wise men of Mussul-
man Spain did Tor European culture
consisted in their handing on the
learning OF the ancient Greeks, though
it was sometimes disfigured or embel-
lished in the forul In which they pre-
served it. They revived philosophy In
the study of Plato, Aristotle and EN-
pedocles; while In other branches of
learning also they helped to prepare
the way for what some called learned
ignorance" but othAs the renaissance.
Men came from France, from England
and from Germany. to study in the
Moorish schools Of Spain, diffusing
through Europe the knowledge which
they had gained: and Rabbi Ben Ezra
(10T0-1139l travelled in Italy, France
and England, spreading the learning

BEAUTY LEFT BY THE Mo0Rs
Gardens of Southern Spain Have a
Charm That Is Seen Nowhere
Else in Europe.


The gardens of Spain. with few
notable exceptions, were not laid out
on the grand scale of those Of the
.Italian villas near Rome, nor of The
.aore magnificent of the French cha
teaux. but they have romantic flavor
Of their own and a charm that Is
quite unlike that Of any other Euro
pean gardens charm that, In no
small measure, can be directly traced
to the influence of the Moorish occu-
patton.
This Moorish influence is particu-
larly apparent in the gardens Of
southern Spain (and they, after all,
are the most characteristic), where
the vegetation is semi-tropic In char
acter, and where palms and myrtles
and thickets of citron and orange
trees give a truly African quality to
the landscape. Perhaps as character
istic as any of these southern gardens
are the Jardines del Alcazar, in Seville.
Of the original Alcazar, a huge for
tress that formed the main military
bulwark of the city, little or nothing
remains. 1t had been built in the
Twelfth century by the Sultan Abu
