Plate Breaking, A Pole on the east side makes his living by breaking plates. He breaks a considerable number each week for applicants and receives a fee for bo doing. The plate to be broken Is us ually furnished by himself, but occa sionally the customer provides it Almost anybody might bo expected to bo able to smash a plate with an iron hammer, which Is the tool the old man uses, but the curious thing about his method is that the blow falls so as to break the p.ate Into three pieces, two of a certain size and one larger and differently shaped from the oth ers. There are few chipB and splin terings from his piate-smashin?, and never more nor less than the three pieces. The plates are.jhortuary plates and are an important part of the burial ceremony among certain orthodox Jews. The two smaller pieces of the potter's ware are applied to cover the dead Derson's eyes, ana tne larger and longer piece is meant to extend from eyebrow to mouth. The believ ers hold that such pieces of pottery rcaro placed within the coffin assure protection to the soul when it makes its exit from the body a stipulated time after burial. "Thy pillow shall be the earth," is construed as partial warrant for the custom. The secret of this particular method of plate-breaking has come down from rabbi to rabbi . rough many genera tions. Originally the plate was split with a sword. Later the breakage was effected with a trowel. Now a hammer nna-nra-ra n"Yvrrnnr v rnft mates ior mu tuary use were supposed to issue one and all from a certain potters Kiin near Jerusalem, and some of the plates were believed to be heirlooms since King Solomon's day. am wun the removal of the tribes from place to place and the stress of poverty and strange conditions it has come to be that almost any plate will do if it be potter's ware and not tin or metal and if It is broken oy a person aumui- ized to bless the ceremony So this weazened old rabbi of a pe culiar fast-disappearing sect among the other orthodox Jews is called upon by many to perform the ceremony. And he has steady employment, even though his constituents be among the poorest of the ghetto's people and able tn h nnlv a tithe of the fee which used to be considered proper for such rTciilinenlal.
