IsRAELITIC AMe
Similarity In tho Nomenclature OF Israeli
itcs md Indians.

Similarity In tho Nomenclature OF israel.
tics and Indians.
A mode OF bringing to notice tho
barbarian stage of tho Israelitcs at the
time under consideration Is 10 trans
late into English familiar personal
names from tho Old Testament, sucii
as tho Dog, tho Dove, tho uyenn, the
Lions Whclp, tho Strong Ass, tho Adj
dor and the Running Hind. This
brings into Immediate connection tho
English translation Of Indian names,
such as Big Bear, White Buffalo, Wolf
Red Cloud, Black Hawk, Fox, Grow and
Turtle. Such Israclito names Hero
probably Of GENTLE origin, that ia, from
the clan or gems, for tho Israelitcs wers
surely Gentiies in tho true sense, al.
though later they abjurod tho charge.
Tut indiyiduals among Thorn my also
hayc adopted such names because they
could DO represented objsctivoly. Such
selection is made by somo Indians
apart from their totomic designation.
Indians possess very few names that
can not DO represented In Photographic.
and the worry large topic Of ~tattooing Is
connected with this dovico antecedent
TO writing. Tie compilers Of the Old
Testament probably desired 10 braak
down o former practice, as is shown In
Leviticus XIX, e9: "Ye shall not print
any marks upon you" And there arc
other similar indications. --Garrick NAL

How They Voted.

An analysis OF tho vote in tho Sem

bill shows that, counting tho pairs,
thirty.throc Democrats and eighteen
Republicans voted for Tho measure.
and twenty-nino Republicans and
three Democrats voted ngainst it,,
with Senator Davis, OF Minnesota, n
Republican, absent without % pair.
This record should teach tho people

piled against n wooden building in

Tho President OF the American
Sabbath Union recommends his
Saturday evening papor for Sunday
reading. But the one objection that
takes precedence OF all othcrs ngainst
the Sunday newspaper is that tho
reading OF it keeps many pooplo from

and go to church arc very much

Mr.. Shcpard's Saturday evening
