The Jews of Modern Times.

The Jews of Germany and of other
Continental States poland and Russia
excepted) may be divided into two
classes-those that do and those that
do not observe the ritual or the cere-
monies of their religion. Very few of
the richer classes belong to the for
mer; most of the poorer classes belong
to the latter. Absolutely, the Jewish
day admits of three divisions-the
strictly rabbinical, the progressists and
the ultra-reformers. Each of these di-
visions has it's temple, with schools at
tached. The -rabbinical Jew,
wherever he is located, retains all the
devotion for the letter as we'll as for
the spirit of his religion that charac-
terized his race in the Middle Ages. He
observes during the year five fast days
of total abstinence, from sunset to sun
set, beside the great Day of Atonement,
the only fast that has a Mosaic basis.
He is regular in his attendance at the
synagogue three times a day, and his
prayers are voluminous. He is also
most scrupulous with respect to the
dietetic regulations of "Cosher" and
"Tarefa,'' as we'll as with regard to
the vessels in which the food is cooked.
All this becomes an onerouS charge on
the wife and the daughters, but they
are dispensed from a variety of other
observances, which are held to be in
cumbent on males.
Among this class of rigid observers
there may be found some high-minded
and intellectual women, but, generally
speaking, their spiritual education IS
not OF an elevated character and their
conception of religion seldom rises
above the platform of the mere letter.
With reference to moral conduct no
difference whatever obtains between
the -rabbinist Jews and those who
are less scrupulous about outward
forms. They are all exemplary in the
discharge of the duties and obligations
appertaining to home and family life.
Drunkenness and unchastity are vices
rarely to be met with among them, but
the lower orders are addicted to gam
ing, and are fond of finery in dress and

A New Source of Rubber.

The discovery of a new source OF
Lagos rubber from a tree known to
the natives as the Ire" or "Ireh," has
given a great impetus to the trade OF
the west coast of Africa in a rubber
of extremely good quality. The Kick
STA africana forms a tree fifty to sixty
feet high, with trunk averaging
twelve to fourteen inches in diameter
1t is said to be one of the most beau
tiful trees of the forest, and is capable
Of producing in good season as much
as from ten to fifteen pounds of rub
Der per tree. For the purpose of ex-
tracing the rubber, deep vertical cut
is made through the bark, and several
oblique cuts on each side running into
the main channel, at the base of which
a vessel is placed to receive the exud-
ing milk, which is coagulated by al
lowing a quantity to stand for some
days in a cavity made in the trunk OF
tree, so that the watery portion evap-
crates or soaks into the wood, leaving
the solid portion behind which is
kneaded and pressed together into a
solid mass, or the milk is placed in a
vessel and boiled, the rubber beginning
to coagulate almost Immediately heat
is applied.

discovery and development is given in

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAG

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
in the heart of the Sierras, almost at
! the foot of Mount Shasta, and amid
| the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist The eligible
| lty of the place selected was due to
| rare combination of flowing water, in
| spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
| The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
| splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
a sumemr resort for health, recreation,
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal socia bility. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
inai conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations

FOUND AFFAIRS.
Ancient Biblical Relics Found by Rev.
Il. B. Greene Of Lowell, Mass.
Exploring Wild Parts of Palestine
He Came Across Two of
Historic Interest.

While exploring the forsaken parts of
Palestine recently the Rev. Harvey b.
Greene, of Lowell, Mass, discovered
two notable affairs which he is certain
were used more than three thousand
years ago by the Israelites in making
their sacrifices to Jehovah. There they
stood just as they were in the days be-
fore King David, to all appearances
not a whit affected by the elements in
all the long flights of centuries. And,
being hewn out of solid rock, they will
last for more ages to come unless, now
that they are made known, vandal
hands shall hack them.
Tourists in Palestine invariably fol-
low the beaten paths prescribed with
all due directions by the guide books.
They seldom care to turn into the wild,
uninhabited side paths where poisonous
serpents and wild beasts abound.
DR.. Greene, however, resolved to pen
citrate into the loneliest quarters, for
there, he thought, objects of interest
not mentioned in the guide books
should certainly be found. AS his
finds proved, he reasoned rightly.
1t was between Yalo, which in an
cient times was known as Aijalon, and
Sara, known in the days of Israel as
Zorah, the birthplace of Samson, that
he came upon these remarkable relics.
This is the region in which the tribes
of Dan and Judah lived 1t is at the
foot of the Judean mountains as they
merge into the plain of Sharon.
Every part of it is historic. Along the
six and half miles between Yalo and
Sara passed in solemn procession the
joyous Israelites as they bore the Ark
of the Covenant from it's captivity in
the Philistinic temple of Dagon to its
resting place at Kirjath-Jearim On
that road there are now four squalid
Arab villages, to whose people the
sight of a well dressed stranger is a
most unusual spectacle.
In the old days this neighborhood was
filled with thriving villages, all OF
which are now in ruins DIR. Greene
examined eight of them, and would
have inspected more of them had he
not had to return home sooner.
Wandering five miles to the north OF
Sara on land belonging to the Arab
village of Der Eyub his attention was
attracted by a queerly shaped rock II
was in field covered by growing
wheat, and is part of the limestone
ledge that jets above the surface al
that point.
He pored over it attentively 1t
was. he said, nothing less than an al
tar, one of those identical sacred works
which, following the conquest of Pal
estine by the Children of Israel, had
been used for burnt offerings.
Surely If was nofbiuO aIca TT u-o c
plain that no chisel had been utilized
in shaping it, for it was somewhat
roughly carved. But this was in ex-
act accordance with the letter of the
Mosaic law, which prohibited the use
of any tool in making an altar.

makers had observed that religious law

and it takes time to accomplish every
thing.
Many months ago we started out to
give Sacramento the right sort of
crockery store. BY that we meant
the right goods, large assortments
of them and bought direct from the
makers. We also meant plain-every-
experimentation prices, in place
of the almost ridiculously fancy prices
that had been so common in Sacra-
mento. We also meant prompt, eff
cient service and generous dealing.
This is to say that most of these
things have at length been attained.
We are only waiting for some goods
en- route from Europe to make our
new crockery store complete.
Most of new goods have been
bought under direction of Mr.. THE
ben who, perhaps, better than any
other man in Sacramento knows just
what the people of our city want.
