TRUE NOBILITY.
BY SACHER-M MASCOT. .

lney came to Par1S from frankfort; one OF their
ancestors had been made baron in recognition of
his services. He the first Jew to take his place
among the descendants of the chevalers and trouba
dours without changing his religion.
In reality he had need of being ennobed He
the descendant of noble and distinguished Israe
litsh family, ancient than the Hapsburghs
the Hohenzollern, which distinguished for
turtles for that nobesse of soul which carries it's
coat of arms the tear of compassion as it's emblem
The baron patr onized arts and sciences, and the
baroness practiced those admirable virtues of Jewish
benevoence, which, in measure reminds of the
fairy stories that delight in youth.
Blu this amiable and spiritual woman had also
passion which she shared with the great Empress,
Maria Theresa. She loved to bring young people to-
gether to encompass their marital union
This charitable fairy, like the Calf Haroun-Al-
Rashid visited the quarters where the poor lived in
disguise that preserved her incognto, in order to
search out distress and relieve the suerings of the
sick. During one of these expeditions she discovered
a young Jewish student, of whom the neighbors told
wonderful stories.
Oscar Stein was a student of natural sciences.
He made researches and studied necessarily for
number of years with that sacred love of truth and
that ardent cal which distinguishes the Israees in
all intellectual pursuits; but, in TRUTH nobody knew
whence he drew his means of support. He might
have had some secondary occup ation like Spinoza,
VINO pol1Shed glasses IN order TO De abe 10 develop
his sublime system of philosophy; like Adoph
Cafetan, who passed his nights in manufacturing
snuff in order to colleo in the day time thousands of
roubles for the poor.
1t is certain that his occupation whatever it was,
did not bring him in much because Stein lived in
narrow street, in a small chamber the top floor of
the house, and many day he had to live on little
fruit and few slices of bread.
The Baroness addressed note to the student in
viting him to call on her. but the poor fellow did not
own a decent suit of clothes in which he could have
presented himself; he compelled therefore to
himself in letter, that touching in it's sim
plicity and in the ill-conceaed ground of his refusal
The aimable fairy not to be discouraged,
however SO easily. One day she mounted the
aud badly lighted stairs leading to his room,
companed by a friend, who was usually her compan-
ion these charitable expeditions. She knocked at
S4a;n,s door then he moor fellow would

have given much if he could have disappeared at this
moment through trap door, as we see on the stage
He wrapped himself up in his huge robe-de chambre,
like Caesar in his toga when the conspirators closed
around him with their pointed daggers. He shvered
blushed like young girl and trembed like pupil
who had forgotten his lesson.
But the kindness of the good baroness came to his
aid in this embarrassing position Explanations fol-
lowed on both Sides Determined to assist Stein
without offering him aims, which he would have re-
fused the amiable lady made him the proposition of
engaging him teacher of natural history for her
children
He accepted after some pressure, and easily found
tailor who made proper suit for him credit
trusting to the splendid prospects that opened
to the young student.
The timid young savant soon became daily guest
in the beautiful palace, surrounded by gardens, of
which the old trees, in the midst of Paris reminded
of the cedars of Lebanon.
About that time the baroness had discovered a
young girlartist Laza inc Decamps. This artist,
richly endowed was the very opposite of the poor
and awkward student She came of well-to-do
Jewish family in Lyons, earned considerable money,
lively, full Of esprit, and tile frisky. She
more than once taken for student of medicine
Nhilist. One evening at the Theater- Francois
the baron said to his wife: 'Your student and my
young artist to be excellently fitted for each
other; imperfect by themselves they would united,
make the most accomplished couple. How would it
be if we were to marry them together?"
'Why not?" replied the baroness, with smile,
'as marriages contracted in heaven, need not
fear of doing mischief.
A few days later Mademoisee Decamps and Mon
sieur Stein invited take tea with the baroness
The baron ordered of the artist two genre pictures,
taken from private life and in the style of those
elegant little Dutch One to represent a
young Jewish girl decorating the for the She
buoth festival; the other, companion piece,
young student porting tome of the Talmud
For the latter the baron proposed that Stein
should sit model The young hidden
in the most obscure part of the salon behind group
of statuary; the baronessle1 Lazarne to him Stein
in vain retrenched himself behind his study; in vain
did he hold up shield against the advance of the
artist his work upon which he had been engaged

DANGER IN SMOKING.
It Causes Cancer of the Lips and
Other Serious Ailments.

While many surgeons deny the exist
ence of smokers cancer" others indi-
cate tobacco as the cause of cancer of
the lips and nasal fossae The disease
from this cause is said to be lobulated
epithelioma, sometimes composed OF
mucous and sometimes horny tissue.
1t shows particularly among smokers
who pay no attention to the cleaning
Of the mouth, who smoke short clay
pipes to the bottom and who use an
inferior quality of tobacco The under
lip or part of the tongue most in con-
tact with the overheated stem of the
pipe IS most frequently attacked. These
neoplasms grow in the base of the
tongue and on the tonsils of those who
have lost their teeth and who hold the
pipe deep in the mouth The weight
Of the pipe is source of irritation, and
the cancer is found on the side where
the pipe is held. COntagion from two
men using the same pipe may result.
When an early operation is performed
on cancroids situated ON the lip the
prognosis may be favorable, but the
reverse is the case where the tonsils or
tongue is attacked. Smokers should
use pipe with an amber mouthpiece,
and it should never be smoked TO the
bottom. Acrid tobacco should be
avoided.-Chicago Inter Ocean

A TULE LAND PRINCIPALITY.
THE UPHAM ESTATE VALUED
AT S335,OOO.
Will Filed for Probate-Nephews
Must be Temperate, or Get
Nothing.

The viii Of the late E. I. Upham,
who was buried in this city recently,
has been filed for probate in the Clerk 5
Office of Solano County. The Rio Vista
| News says it is a long document of
peculiar phraseology, and under its
terms some little restriction is placed
upon his nepheWs, who will inherit
quite snug sum.
To Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Barker the
sum of 5000 was bequeathed and Mrs.
Mary Plaisted and Mrs Augusta Ash
brook cousins OF deceased, viii receive
like sums. Thos Flanders, one of the
executors named, will also receive So
C00. To his cousin, Miss Muzzy, $40
600 are left which, together with the
Vacaville orchard, Will make her be
quest about $50 900. For the educa-
tiOn of the minor children of his broth
er the executors are instructed to make
a monthly allowance of 500 for each
until of age
The sum of $4,000 is bequeathed to
the children of his brothers Joseph and
Lorenzo Upham, TO be paid in cash or
land to the value Of the share OF each;
as preferred.
1t is provided that the boys, il they
have not reached majority must for
five years De members in good standing

plars, or must take solemn pledge to
abstain from ali intoxicating drinks.
and gambling The will states that il
is the uppermost desire in decedent's
mind that none of his wealth shall go to
man who uses liquor or is addicted
to gambling
Miss Muzzy is left sum in trust to
make improvements to the family GEM
etery plot at Sacramento. To each
person who was in the employ of de-
ceased for one year preceding his death
sum equal to six months wages is
bequeathed
The residue of the estate is bequeath-
ed to the Good Templars' Orphan Home
at Vallejo, but as a succeeding para
graph gives instructions as 10 how the
balance shall be divided, It appears
that it will probably be hard to carry
out the letter and spirit of the clause.
E. B. Pond and Thos flanders Of
San Francisco and F. j. Taylor of
Birds Landing gre named as executors
with full power to sell any part of the
estate at their own discretion without
an order of court. Messrs. Peter Ander-

tors in the order named.
