March 18. As the noon passenger train

and threw him off into the ditch, which,
owing to the recent thaw was partly filled
with water; but the train did not stop.
Some men who saw black object on the
track before the tram, and then saw the
train strike 1t, supposed it was dog.
Curiosity more than anything else took
them to the spot where they found the
boy insenslble. They took him in a
sleigh and brought him to town leaving
him at the hotel, whence medical aid was
at once summoned. DR.. Lee, of Rice

INDIAN AND HEBREW.
A Comparison of Some Peculiar Custom
of the Two Races.

A Comparison of Some Peculiar Customs
of the Two Races.
Early travellers among the Indians
claim to have found rites and ceremonies
strikingly similar to those of the Jews.
George Gatlin, the artist. who spent a
considerable portion of his life among
the tribes, said he believed they had
Jewish blood in their veins, although
he could not go so far as to identify
them with the lost tribes of Israel.
The Indians worshiped Great Spirit.
or Jehovah. Idolaters were never
found on the North American continent.
The tribes had their council or medi-
cine houses, which they held most
sacred. They had their high priests
and their prophets. They followed the
Hebrew custom in not allowing the wo-
men to worship with the men. Fifty
years ago the Sioux exploited the same
belief that they are dancing themselves
crazy about now. They maintained
that the Indians were the chosen people
of the Great Spirit, and that in time
they were to triumph over the rest Of
the world through a Messiah.
In marriage the Indians had customs
which savored of Palestine They gave
presents for their wives. In their bath
ing and in their family relations, they
followed with remarkable precision
many of the requirements of the Mosaic
law. They observed certain laws of
publication which the DID testament
teaches. Fifty years ago travellers found
no difficulty in discovering the practice
of these rites and ceremonies by the
Indians. But as the line of white set
Element advanced the Indians gave up
their old customs. Their forms were
laughed at by white men. and many Of
them were abandoned. The ghost dance
which the Sioux have been soaring the
frontier with is the old sun dance under
new name. 1t used To be practieed
very frequently as an atonement cere
mony.
There was once an Indian feast which
was very like the annual feast of the
Passover. Some of the tribes kept a
feast with branches of willow and pre-
hminary fasting, which bore striking
resemblance to the feast of Tabernacles
The practice of offering TO the Great
Spirit the first green corn and the first
fruits of all kinds was almost universal
among the Indians before they became
contaminated with white men.-Ss

THE LABOR QUESTION.
Sharing with Hired Help on the Farm Dis
cussed.


Sharing with Hired Help on the Farm Dis
cussed.
Nearly all farmers at one time or
another complain that their hired help
takes far too large share of the profits.
often leaving them at the end of the
year less for labor and invested capital
than they would have earned if thew
had sought other employment and
given it equal skill and care. It is a
surprise to us that the system of condi-
tlonal hiring of farm help is not much
more in vogue than it is. Practically
the farmer now gives the hired man all
the advantages that could accrue to him
from the division of profits, as the
competition for labor secures to most
OF those hiring nearly all, and some
times more, than they could secure by
working on their own account If the
farmer hired his help conditionally,
giving stated sum in any event, and
more if the crops and markets proved
favorable, he would thereby secure bet
ter service, and probably in most cases
pay little if any more than now.
The principal cause of failure of farm
help is in lack of intelligent interest in
making farming a success. PAYING a
higher wage for effective service is the
best method of overcoming this diff
ficulty. 1t is also far better for
the workingman himself. Scarcely
any thing is more democrat
izing and destructive of future useful
ness than eye service, or trying to pass
away time SO as to do as little as pos
sible. A man trained to do this few
