SACRAMENTO DAILY REcoRDuN1oN SUNDAY AUGUST 1e 1896

woman in all public efforts as well as in
private life than she really believed
existed. It seems a hard thing to be-
lieve, but it is nevertheless great truth,
that there is more real kindness and
generosity extended toward women
from men than there is from woman to
woman. There is no denying it, it is a
gospel truth. In thousand petty lines
will woman strive to undermine the
foundation of her sister woman's char
acter (not always realizing the ruin she
is making), criticising her every act,
watching her movements with an in
terest that would do her credit were the
motive power behind kind one. Some
times it is caused by some petty jeal-
ousy, ofttimes because-the greater pity
she has nothing else to do. The Bible
has evidently gone out of fashion. The
dear old book is out of date. Were it
not so more heed would be paid to the
divine command, Judge not" and the
condition following which never fails in
fulfillment sooner or later THAT We be
not judged.
I understand that the date of the
marriage Of pretty Adele Grau to Ed
ward Dold of Buffalo, New York, has
been set, and that the nuptials will
take place on the 10Th of next month in
the evening. Mr.. Dold, am told, will
be here in less than a month, and ac-
companying him will be his best man
all the way from the far East. I don't
wonder that hosts of Adele's friends
are beginning to feel blue" as the time
for the wedding approaches, because
they all know that Mr.. Dold is going to
take her away to where his business de-
mands his presence, and her CHEEKY
countenance and jolly disposition will
be sadly missed by many and many a
grateful friend or acquaintance. From
what l hear the wedding is going to be
something real complete in all its de-
tails. The Grau home on Sutter Ter
race, with it's beautiful interior decora-
tions, is charming to behold now, and,
II so, it is difficult to imagine what a
fairy-like picture it will present on the
eventful eve. Friends tell me that
nothing will be spared to make the feast
simply grand, and I know from the
talk that there are a great many of
Adele's acquaintance who are wonder
ing how the invitations are to be dis
tributed. I haven't heard where they
are going for a wedding trip, but I do
know that Mr.. Dold will take his bride
to Buffalo after a brief stay on the
coast. He is member of the Jacob
Pold Packing Company, and Adele will
no doubt have a beautiful home in the
city on Lake Erie. After the marriage

ISRAEL s LOST TRIBES.
Legends Concerning Their Wander.
ings Up and Down the Coast:

1t may not be inappropriate to recall
an old legend extant among the ortho-
dox Jews of Russia regarding this sub
ject, and which confirms the report of
the explorer.
Years and years ago, so the story
runs. an exiled Jew on the bleak wilds
Of Northern Siberia, in an effort to reach
an overhanging branch of tree, placed
his foot upon log floating on the water
NO sooner had his foot touched the log
than it seemed inspired with life and
moved rapidly off, bearing the exile
away toward the vast ice fields, which
were plainly visible and plentiful to-
ward the north. Rapidly the current
swept the log northward, bearing with
it the unfortunate Jew, who was so be-
numbed with fear and cold that he was
unable to formulate a plan Of escape
from his perilous position.
For three consecutive days and nights
the prisoner clung to the log, passing
through towering fields Of icebergs and
oashlng under arches cut by the current
through the sky-scraping fields of ice
Out into beautiful sunshine our traveller
evidently emerged. The grass was green
and the trees were garbed in the splen-
dor of nature and birds made merry
music on every branch. People great
in numbers were congregated on either
bank of the stream all dressed in holi-
day raiment Of the finest texture, but
similar in character to the clothing
worn by our ancestors 1000 years ago.
The current of the stream ceased to
flow, the log drifted to the bank and
the almost famished and thoroughly
frightened traveller repeated for the
thousandth time the Hebrew words
"Shama-Israel," and in uncertain man
ner dismounted from the log.
The inha bitants crowded about, and,
speaking in Hebrew, with which lam
guage he was thoroughly conversant,
learned of his need of food and rest and
supplied these wants. after which they
inquired whence he came and whittier
he was going. Numerous inquiries
were made regarding the people who
lived beyond their circunlscribed world,
who in reciprocity informed him Of
themselves and their mode of living,
which had in nowise changed since the
advent of the Christian era
They worked and worshiped even as
did the Jew in ancient times when Pal
estine was a garden and Jerusalem the
center Of civilization. The traveller
learned that these people were the lost
tribes of Israel, who had migrated to
this goodly country, led by the descend
ants Of Aaron-named Joseph-who had
passed away without leaving any de-
scendants. With them they had
brought many vessels and much of the
paraphernalia of Solomon's temple and
patterned their house of worship after
this famous temple of Jerusalem
The traveller was told that the stream s
current was active six days in the week
and on the seventh became quiet and
did not move. but as he was a member
oe different tribe to themselves he
would not be allowed to remain within
the country. So he was placed in a
boat. which was pushed out into the
current and was borne by circuitous
route back to Siberia. Afterwards he
was pardoned, returned to Russia and
told his adventure.-The Jewish Senti-
ment.'

Unwilling to be "Onery."

The Sheriff was talking politics when
a Constable drove UP with a man in a
buggy.
"Majah, this yere is Jim Howland.
who has ben sentenced to Jail fur ninety

the Constable.
Jim Howland, eh?" queried the Sher-
iff Whats the sentence fur?"

to hang around town, but remember,
kurnel, that the next time I'm sent to

And Jim got down, and soon was

Most of the ailments which are COM
monty called bilious are caused by
too much food Of a rich nature, and
too little exercise in the open air. The
liver attempts to get rid of the super
fuous materials thrown into the cir
cuIation, and, being overworked, rebels,
and gout, rheumatism, gravel, dyspep-
sia, headache, and constipation are the
outward and visible signs of its in
action in those who live too well, a
sedentary life. The prescription of
bicycle and the recommendation to use
it wisely and well works like charm
in such cases, and in all the sympto-
matte ailments which arise from too
much "acid" in the system. 1t is in
teresting to note that cycling sometimes
has the effect of thinning the obese and
fattening the thin, and this may partly
be explained by Murchison's observa-
ticns that excessive leanness, as well
as excessive corpulence, is often caused
by inaction of the liver, and the stim-
ulus of regular exercise, setting the
functions of that organ right, causes
the disappearance of what was only

But it did not satisfy her. Her dear

it lacks breadth. I do not believe 1t

THE LARK,S SONG.

o, Lark so high in the clear blue sky,
Give voice to my hearts deep peace;
And passing by in the meadow nigh
Breathe it forth in sweet release;
To the earth so fair-on the calm still air
To the dome of heaven above,
Till each vibrant note from thy trembling
throat
Tells all the world Of love-
Love that is pure that will endure
Forever and for aye;
Strong in its might through darkest night
AS in the glare of day.
Sing to the earth in notes of mirth,
For my heart is glad and strong,
And the joy / feel thou dost reveal
o lark In thy happy song.
