The Land system of Moses.

Rev. DR.. Deems preached last Sunday
at the Church of the Strangers and de-
clared that "Moses, by the help OF God,
devised land system that made contro'
versy between labor and capital lmpos-
sible," which is more than Greece, or
Rome. or our modern civilization have
been able to do. The plan of Moses, he
said. was that of the jubilee year, when
the land reverted to it's original owners,
under which "people could only buy
leaseholds.' ''The good principle, Dr.
Deems continued, underlying this law
was that the land was Gods land and it's
occupants His guests" This, the doctor
said. induced the holder to SO use land as
to make it yield to the utmost Tor the
maintenance of the population. Every
thing" he continued, comes out OF the
iand.' ..Moses' system he continued,
..would relieve Brother Henry George OF
the trouble of lecturing. 1t would pre-
vent speculation. 1t would do away with
preediness. 1t would promote gentlehess
| of manners"
Row. DR., Deems evidently compre-
bends the great moral principle under
wing the single tax doctrine. he may
not vet be able to see how the thing
songht in the Mosaic law can be accom-
1,1isbed by the application of the single

THE ENTERPRISlNG WEST,

Extract From Prospectus of Montana
Newspaper.
The Age. Boulder, Montana. A week
ly newspaper published every Wednes-
day afternoon and devoted very largely
to the recording of the news and the de-
velopment of the resources of Jefferson
County.
The Age maintains that the present
methods for the distri button of wealth,
or the product of labor, result in injus-
tice to the producing classes, as is evil
dent from the constantly increasing
number of millionaires at one end of the
social scale and of tramps at the other
end 1t believes that remedy for this
injustice exists in what is known as the
Henry George system of political econ
omy, and The Age will advocate the
general adoption of that system. This
theory in brief is that the land belongs
to the people, the term land" embrac-
ing all natural opportunities and advan-
tages; that whoever shall occupy or use
the land or other natural opportunities
for his own exclusive benefit should
pay into the public treasury the rental
value of such land or other natural OPP
portunity used: that this rental value
is sufficient to pay all the necessary ex-
penses Of government, and thereby all
taxation upon mans industry and upon
the products of his labor would be
| avoided

In certain British regiments a pet has
become quite an institution, as in the
case of the South Wales Borderers,
whose gilt-horned goat is familiar to
many as it marches proudly along at
the head OF the regiment, under the

finds that Edwards is the victim of land

arrives at the Edwards farm, Alice, of

her)-Your letters didn't read that way,

formal enough.
Alice-I didn't dare write what felt.
Reeves-Why not?
Alice-Oh, because was afraid!
Reeves-Afraid I'd come and get YOU,

Stra lge Medi ,lne TAKEN by a Chi
nese Woman.

Here is a characteristic Chinese
incident translated by the Chinese
Times: "There is small family
named Chang, consisting of a moth
er and son of II summers, living
in place north of Peking called
The Old Tiger cave The old lady
was suddenly struck down with
some severe and incurable malady
one day last moon, which grew
worse from day to day. They
were too poor to call in doctors to
give her proper treatment. and her
faithful son, who had constantly
attended on her, seeing his mothers
severe illness and their abject pow
erty and helplessness, took a knife
and sliced off big piece of flesh
from his thigh, and after invoking
the blessing of Heaven boiled and
gave it to her as medicine and food.
Heaven was so much pleased with
such child, full of filial piety,
that it granted his earnest prayers,
and his mother, from the day when
the human flesh medicine was ad-
ministered, rapidly recovered and
was up in ten days. When that
medicine was given to her the boy
did not inform her of it's compost
ton, until she was we'll, when a big
wound from which the mixture was
made showed her. Itis alleged that
the boy suffered no pain nor incon-
venience from the wound, for Heav-
en- must have relieved him from the
otherwise great pain and bleeding,
for this so noble a filial act. which
is not to be found everywhere.
When it was made known to the
public he was held up as an exam
pie of true and genuine filial piety
which was taught by our great sage
The official of that district will me-
morialize the throne to erect tablet
or an arch for his noble and brave
deed in rescuing his mother from
death by endangering his own life.
In ancient days such acts were
common, butas the world has grown
more wicked such an act is as rare
as precious jade. History has
handed down to US the example of
IL boy who slept on the ice on cold
winter day to melt it in order to
catch some fish for his sick and
dying mother, but the present case
is just as noble. May his life be
spared to teach sons and daughters
