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
