A Monkeys Dread of Snakes.

Of snakes, large or small, our mon
key has always stood in abject ter
ror. If he is held firmly and the
snake is placed near him, he looks
piteously in the face of his keeper,
and sometimes, more III sorrow than
in anger, he will bite if he is not let
go. At one time a snake in a paper
bag was shown him. When the pa
per bag was afterward left near him,
he would furtively approach and
open it, to peep a moment shivering-
~ into' its depths, and then retreat
ANONYMOUSLY, only to approach for
another peep when he had summoned
sufficient courage.
A live salamander was placed on
the table by his side. This he looked
at with a great deal of interest, final
ly taking it in his hands, with many
precautions. When he saw how in
ert it was, he laid it down and lost
all interest in it.-Popular Science

IN Kkeir Origin Both Religions Are Ash
attic and Both Semitic.
In their origin, Christianity and Is
lam are both Asiatic, both Semitic,
and Jerusalem is but few hundred
miles from Mecca. In regard to the
number of their adherents, both have
steadily increased from the begin
ming to the present day. After l, 900
years, Christianity numbers 400, 000,-
900, and Islam, after /, 300 years, 300
900, 900; but Mohammedanism has
been practically confined to Asia and
Africa, while Christianity has been
the religion of Europe and the new
world, and politically it rules now
over all the world except China and
Turkey.
Northumberland has been identi
fed with a STATIONARY civilization,
and Christianity with a progressive
one. There was a time-from the
eighth century to the thirteenth
when science and philosophy flour
ished at Bagdad and Cordova under
MOslem rule, while darkness reigned
in Europe But Renan has shown
that this brilliant period was neither
Arabic nor Mohammedan in its spirit
or origin, and although his state
ments may admit of some modifica-
ton it is certain that, however bril-
liant while it lasted, this period has
left no trace in the Moslem faith, I'M
less it be in the philosophical basis of
Mohammedan law, while Christian
ity has led the way in the progress of
modern civilization.
Both of these are positive religions
Each claims to rest upon a divine
revelation which is in its nature
final and unchangeable; yet the one
is stationary and the other progress
sive. The one is based upon what it
believes to be divine commands and
the other upon divine principles
lust the difference that there is be
tween the law of Sinai and the law
of love, the ten commandments and

Interchangeable; the two admit of ever

An Ancient Arrowhead.

While walking along the beach at
Upper Nyack, not far from Hook
mountain, Master Charles Meissner
picked up one of the prettiest speci
mems of an Indian arrowhead that
has ever been found in these parts.
1t is of pure white quartz, perfectly
fashioned, and was doubtless dropped
a couple of centuries ago by some red
skin who paid friendly or warlike
visit to these parts. The tribes here
abouts, as our local collectors well
know, used black flint entirely, and
hence the white quartz specimen is
rare. This specimen is now at this
Office and can be seen for few days
by interested parties. -Nyack City

THE HUSH POLICY.

Some of our good people believe
| in the "hush" policy, the secre-
tive method, the drifting along way
of doing things. Don't disturb "
-"Don't talk -" Don't agitate."
The recent publication of the
Memoirs of the Chancellor, Pas
ouier, a French statesman of the
Napoleonic era, presents an excel
lent illustration of the foolishness
of this policy in guiding human
affairs.
While Napoleon was shut up on
the island of Elba, there were ru-
mors that he would make his es-
cape from the island and re-enter
France. The great Congress of the
Powers was in session in Vienna at
the time, and prompt discussion
and action were needed in the
matter. But the ambassadors hes
itated about debating it. They said
"don't talk about it," "take it up
by and by" "too dangerous to
think about" "may hurt some
body" So they put off action. A
single British warship could, at the
time, have taken Napoleon to st.
Helena, and kept him out of mis-
chief. But jealous fear of each
other-the "don't agitate or dis
cuss" policy enabled the great SOL
dier to escape from Elba, reach
France, again deluge Europe with
blood, and burden Europe with vast
debts. The Congress of Powers, of
course, had prompt man to deal
with one who knew just what he
wanted, and knew how to get it.
But behind the congress were its
supporters" who didn't know just
what they ought to do, and were
more interested in taking care OF
themselves than in studying events.
So they were cleft" Anyone who
chooses, can do a good deal of think
ing on these lines, about matters
here.

THE NATIVES AND LEPRosY.

Owing to the large numbers OF
lepers, in these islands, people, in
other countries believe that leprosy
is disease beyond our control, and
that there are great risks of taking
it by residence here. Such belief
is not correct. The spread of the
disease is due, largely, to the ignor-
ance and apathy of the natives, in
past years. They did not compre-
bend its serious nature, and strong
ly opposed the segregation of those
who had it. They are not, however,
to be blamed for their ignorance.
Their affection for their relatives
who had taken it, compelled them
to conceal them, in their houses,
and they were willing to take risks
that well-informed people would
refuse.
Besides, the monarchy, especially
in the later days, was somewhat
controlled by native sentiment,
and it thwarted, to some extent,
the efforts of those who had this
matter in hand, to segregate the
lepers.
While the country has been put
to a great expense, in providing for
these unfortunates, it has never
stopped, from motives of economy,
any proper expense, for their care.
Had the whites dominated the
country, forty years ago, they would
have stamped out the disease, SIM
ply because they realized its dan
ger. At the present time, the great
est care and vigilance is used In
keeping it in check. The whites
rarely contract it, and, therefore,
are not greatly disturbed by its
presence.

Literature on the Subject.

1t is only within recent years that the
properties of petroleum have been dis
cussed through the medical journals.
Articles have appeared and given, in
very positive language, the most crafty
ing results from its use, both as medicine
and as reconstructive. Great value is
attributed to petroleum in the treatment
of consumption, bronchitis, la grippe,
catarrh, asthma, diseases of the diges-
tive apparatus and of the kidneys, as well
as in wasting diseases. 1t appears to have
especial value in all pulmonary
complaints.

AGAIN TaE WICKED AMERICANS.

Mr.. Bush, in Ka Leo, the 'lead-
ing" native journal, continues to
issue very solemn warnings to the
American people, because of their
headlong career of vice and in
fanny, in supporting the Republic.
He now compares that people to
King David, who sought Uriah's
wife, and he makes the parallel lie
in the fact that the American ma
ton is a political David seeking
the wife of the beauteous monarchy.
This illustration or figure of speech,
becomes rather ratified, as it goes
along, and appears as if it had
taken tangle-foot early in the morn
ing. But Mr.. Bush is satisfied,
and prophesies the downfall of the
Americans. He illustrates quite
well, the remark of the humorist
that "three pounds of cold pork, at
night, with half a gallon of hard
cider would make any man pro-
phesy at the rate of two hundred
pounds to the square inch"

pyrites now In possession Of the
receivers; also to annul an ex-
Is ting contract between the two com.
panies The pyrites are valued At &c. 600.
The basis Of the petition Is that under
the contract there has not been an
actual delivery. The pyrites are used by
the Walton and Whann Company for the
sulphur contained In them, and the Gin.

was made that about I 900 tons of the
pyrites had already been used, for
which nothing had been paid That the
