The Outlook Discourag'ng and the Men
Are Downcast and DisbeaTtened.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, May The dis
couraging outlook for Kelly's indus
trials caused the men yesterday to be
downcast and disheartened. There
were no songs over the camp fires,
no shouting of son Co Washington
and no cheers for officers and visitors.
The prime cause of the general de-
preston was the continued scarcity of
provisions. When breakfast time
came the commissary officer reported
900 loaves of bread on hand, but
scarcely enough meat and coffee to
supply the officers. Kelly drew on
lis treasury for money to buy coffee
and meat. These served partially to
dispei the gloom, but the -ncertainty

AN INDIAN FUNERAL SONG.
A Touching Ceremony in Vogue Among
the Omahas.

~ fouchiuE Nercmony IN vogue Among
the Omahas.
The funeral song is sung at the obse.
1nies of any man or woman who has
been greatly respected in the tribe.
Upon the death of such one, men in
the prime of early manhood meet to-
gether near the lodge of the deceased
diyest themselves of all clothing but
the breech-oloth, make two incisions in
the left arm, and under the loop of flesh
so made thrust willow branch, having
on 1t sprays of leaves. With the blood
dripping upon the green branches
hanging from their arms and shoulder,
blades, the men move silently in single
file to the lodge where the dead lies;
there, ranging themselves in line
shoulder to shoulder, and marking the
rhythm of the tune by beating together
two small willow rods, they sing in
unison the funeral song.
There is violent contrast between
the bleeding singers and their vocal
utterances, TOR the music in its major
strains suggests sunshine, birds. and
verdure, and has fleet happy move.
ment. Nevertheless, there must be
some latent harmony between the song
and the ceremony. Music, the Indian
believes, has power to reach the un.
seen world. The spirit OF the dead
man can hear the song as ii leaves the
body, and the glad cadences are &c

have been dear to him on earth. lie

Is for him; the bleeding wounds of the
singers are expressions Of the loss felt
by the friends Of the dead; his kindred

pathy-the wounds are for them.
II is a custom among the Omahas to
cease wailing at a certain point in the
funeral ceremonies. for the reason,
they say, that the departing one must
not be distressed as he leaves his
home behind him. II is also customary
after a death TO lacerate the limbs, as
the shedding OF blood expresses how
vital is She loss. The funeral song and

The Language Of Palestine.

AS regards the languages spoken in
Palestine in the time of Christ, much
that is of high Importance has resulted
from recent exploration. A dedication
to Herod was written both in Aramaic
and in Greek, and there are great
many Greek texts of this age in all
parts of the country, which show us
that the old Canaanite religions had
not yet died ont, but were mingled with
Greek mythology, SO that the names of
native and of Greek deities stand side
by side. The region where the Greeks
were most numerous was apparently
Decapolis, east of the sea of Ga1ilee.
and it seems to me probable that the
people of Gadara, who kept swine, were
Greeks. for the pig was regarded as an
unclean animal by the Phenicians and
other natives as well as by the Jews.
It has often been disputed whether the
gospels were originally written in
Greek or in Aramaic; but it has now
been rendered certain by exploration
that Greek was very widely used in
Palestine at this time, and that it was
understood by the Jews as well as by
others. We have recovered the stone,
written in Greek, which warned the
Gentiles not to enter the inner court OF
the temple, and have found early jew
ish bone-boxes ON Olivet inscribed n
Greek.-Contemporary Review

practical hunter would suspect their
presence about the ranches. The val
ley in which this beast was killed is q
depression with precipitous sides
where the river cuts through the open
plain. There is rough ground, with
rocks and cliffs in places, but the only
trees that could afford shelter
to so large an animal are thin
ly strung out cottonwood goves
along the river, and scattered clumps
of scrub oak and pine upon the valley
slopes. Yet there the lion had made
his lair for long time, the only in
dication of his existence to the ranch
man being his destruction of sheep and
young stock to satisfy his sanguinary
appetite. Many men have hunted
deer season after deer season in the
Rocky mountains, yet scarcely once
have seen a bear at large, and never q
mountain lion. The latter creature,
with more than the shyness of his
smaller eastern relative, the panther,
has less ferceness in the presence of
man. A terror to deer, hair and ante
1ope, and destructive as it is of the
ranchmans colts and calves and sheep,
the mountain lion, when hunted down
and cornered, rarely puts up even a
show of fight against the hunter, but
after killing his dogs, devotes his
whole energies to escape.-Detroit Free
