JEWISH HUMOR.
tta Flavor of Blttemesa and Its
Ire of Judaism.
Renau said of the Jews, "Tbe Sem
itic people aro almost entirely without
the power to laugh." Surely had he
looked for traces of Jewish humor In
the light which Heine casts back upon
its dark tradition he would never have
made so sweeping n stntemoat. For
eight years Heine lay upon his 'mat
tress grave" In Paris suffeirng excru
ciating agony. He deserved, ho snld.
to have awarded to him "the grand
medals of pain and misery." Leopold
Znm said almost the same words of
th? whole Hebrew people, "If there are
ranks In suffering, Israel takes prece
lonco of all the nations." The 'lumor
of Israel Is flavored with bitterness and
plays round the greater subjeeta of
thought and of speculation; plays like
the humor of a man in pain.
Listen to the lament of a satirist
born at Aries In lliST who fln !s the
works of the Jewish law an Into erable
burden and seems to have come, like
Heine, to the bitter conclusion that
"Judaism is not a religion, it Is a mis
fortune:"
Oh, hapless sire, distraught with cares.
Whose wife to hlir male children tears,
For all of them, or rich or poor.
Have only suffering to endure.
This Is caused by the Jewish creed.
Whose yoke la bard to bear Indeed.
Its many lav.-s and regulations
Which aro unknown to other nations
Ever)- Hebrew must observe
With watchful eye and straining nerve;
E'en though he shares In public functions.
He still must follow their Injunctions.
The Bible Is not half enough;
Glosses there are and other stuff
In which he erudite must be.
Especially In theology.
In all the Talmud may relate.
In authors' quarrels and debate.
In things particularly small.
Of no significance at all.
One more mediaeval quotation. tb!i
time from the pen of a Barcelona Jew
The lines can hardly perhaps be called
humorous, but they Illustrate with a
certain terse comedy the great value
set by the race upon three things
money, knowledge and domestic hap
piness. If a man has none of them the
poet has no better advice to give him
than to hold bis tongue or to hang him
self:
What Is the most useful thing to any
man In life? ,
Knowledge or wealth or a good and lov
ing wife.
But If none of these commodities man has
ever got
Then by keeping golden silence he might
improve his lot.
And If he cannot 'do so. that poor and hap
less knave,
Then let him go away at once and dig
himself a grave.
On his deathbed Heine made his la?t
joke, and it Is typically Jewish. "Re
viewing his by no means irreproacba- 1
h'o past," he hoped that God might for
give him, "fore' est son metier"? (that Is
his trade). Another story Illustrates
yet more perfectly the bitter humor of I
,the Jew. It is the story of a dylug
rabbi "who had been all his lifetime
extremely religious, but had likewise
always suffered much want and mis
ery. 'Do you know,' he said to those
iu the sickroom, "If after all the sad ex
periences I have had in the past there
Is no future life I shall be greatly
amused.' "?London Spectator.
Colophon.
Colophon t\qs a city of ancient Ionia,
nine miles north of Ephesus, and near
the sea. It vra9 said to be the birth j
place of Homer, and near It was a fa- 1
mous oracle of Apollo. The Greek prov- j
erb, "To put a colophon to it," mean !
Ing to end an affair handsomely. Is ex- '
plained by Strabo as arising from a
belief that the cavalry of Colophon was
so excellent In quality that their charge
was always decisive in a battle. Hence I
arose the custom of calling any device
or monogram or printer's name or sign
or date of printing in old printed books ;
a colophon in the sense of a definite, I
satisfactory end.
Tycho Brahf.
It was the great eclipse of Aug. 21, i
1560, fiat turned Tycbo Brahe into an
astronomer. He was in his fourteenth
year at the time, a Danish boy of no
ble origin, and had been destined first
for the army and then for the law .
But the accuracy with which the
eclipse was predicted impressed him
with the belief that astronomy was a
divine thing, and thenceforward he de
roti>d his life to tt. The debt of as
trouoray to Tycho Brahe not only for
his own work, brt as the man who
shaped the genius of Kepler, can
scarcely be overestimated.
Dinner In a Bell.
In the tower of Erfurt cathedral
hangs a huge bell ten feet high and
thirty feet In circumference, weighing
thirteen tons. Within this In July,^
1713, dined ten of the town's most'
opulent burghers on dishe3 cooked In
a kitchen temporarily erected on the
beam . that supported the ponderous
mass of tintlnnabulary metal. To cele
brate this repast medals were struck,
baring on the obverse the portraits of
the guests and on the reverse the rep
resentation of the curious scene.
