Widows May Senaarry, and the a-arr.ago
OF fu,ante Is Less Common.
The report of the last cen. ma in Ben
gal, which has just been published, up
sets several beliefs which hitherto hnvo
found general acceptance. For in
stance, it proves that the ratives, i'm
stead of being averse to leaving their
ancestral villages. are steadily moving
from more densely peoplea areas to
those where the population is less
crowded; also that widow remarriage
is practically universal in nchar. Oris-
SO, Chota-Nagpore and among the low
err castles of Bengal proper and is un-
known only among n very few high
castles everywhere and the more re-
spectacle Sudras of Bengal proper.
The report also states that infa, mar
riage does not exist to any appreeiable
extent except in northeast Behar and
among the Hrahmins, kayGsths and
other purely Sudra castles of western
Bengal 1t also shows the great prog
ress of Mohammedanisru, which has in
creased more than nine per cent. in
Bengal proper in the last decade, while
the increase in Hinduism is less than
five per cent. This fact is explained to
be due to the desire on the part of the
lowest castles to adopt religion which
treats all men us equals.

SLAIN HIS TEN THOUSANDS.
A Hunter Who Has Bought n Farm with
Squirrel Polls AInna


Freeman Biggs, OF Hutton township,
eight miles from Charleston. Ill. car
ries the sealps of twenty-one thousand
squirrels at his belt, SO to speak. As
his reputation for truth ana vcrscity
is good, his neighbors do not Gisrute
his claim that he has slaughtered five
hundred deer, three hundred wild
turkeys and more prairie chickens than
he had time to count. He is. accord
inc to the Chicago Tribune. seventy
one years old, and his sight is Just as
good as ever, SO good, in fact, that if
the bullet from the rifle he has carried
for many years fails to strike Nh, SOUR
rel between the eyes he will hardly
throw the animal in his game bag
and squirrels are worth from twelve
and half to fifteen cents. For thirty
tive years "Freem" Biggs has hunted
"buSh tails and the proceeds OF his
accurate aim have bought fine farm
on which he reared family of ten
children.
''Freem' Biggs was born in Clinton
county, O., and went to Hutton town
ship when fifteen years old. At that
time there were plenty of deer and
turkeys there, and as boy he acquired
a remarkable proficiency with the rifle
and finally driftcd into hunting Us a
means of support. The railroads came,
and deer could be shipped to the cast,
and until the settlements drove the
game away he sold venison. After the
country became settled and the greater
part of the timber felled, the turkeys
and deer disappeared, and he was
obliged TO begin u business engage.
ment with the squirrels, which con-
tinues up TO tie present, at least up to
the time prohibited by law in each
year. For the last thirty-ilve years he
has done business exclusively with the
squirrels and modestly estimates that
ON an average he has sold about six
hundred n year. At first the price
ranged from fifteen cents up, but now
it ranges about ten cents and twelve
cents. OF course the supply of squir-
rels is not SO large at present. Be-
sides, farmers who have woods pas
lures where these animals abound, put
huge signs on their gateposts declar-
ing that mo hunting aloud on this
here farm Under these disadvantages
Mr.. Biggs was unable to take over four

Quite an excitement was caused in

obtained the float, and, equipped
with prospeetors outfit, they start

found the ledge, which prospected
well. After making several loca-
tons they returned. The Senator
went out again next day, aecompa-
MED by a dozen men who had caught
the fever, and were prepared to camp
over night, and do some work on the
ledge. About the third stroke of the
pick proved that the mine had been
sailed, as the top rock had been car
ried there. The air was blue with
blasphemy for while, but later they
concluded to make the best of the
joke, and went to prospecting else
where and making locations for some
of the men left in camp, who could
not leave their work. The Senator
made location for George Barton

same group. But wnen we compare
those of different groups with each
other. a. the Teutonic with ltalic,
Greek, Sclayic or Indie, fewer words
are found in common, but enough to
enable Us To predicate with certainly
theil common origin. Again, when we
compare a Japhetic language wi,h one
OF the Semitic or Hamitic branch. only
a few roots of words, domestic in char
acter, are found to run through all.
But, here we can predicate with toler-
able certainty the common origin of all
these great families of languages, but
far back beyond the historic period.
Finally, when we compare languages
OF different races. as white with black,
yellow or red, we cannot say with GER
tainty that they have any word roots
In common. Certain siniariteS lead
Us to suppose they have roots common
to all; but the phonetic changes, brought
about in the lapse of ages, have been
50 great that we cannot speak with
certainty of their common origin.
However, reasoning from the analogy
If phonetic changes in other, languages.
we can say that it is probable that all
mankind were originally of one speech
rs stated in Genesis XII. There is moth
ing which argues against the theory
and much that supports it IN pathology
and archaeology.
So in this myth of confusion. as in
all books not historical we can find
great central truth, but must not be
overly credulous as To details. 1t is the
''soul of truth" which we must ever
strive to apprehend.
1t is not our intentions to take up
the old testament further in detail. It
is collection OF sacred myths of the
Hebrews containing many sublime
truths. II contains also many things
which are barbaric. Its ideas of God
are entirely anthropomorphic, and can
not satisfy the mind of man IN this en-
lightened age. Its Jehovah, like the
Greek Zeus and the Itaic Jupiter was
merely an omnipotent man, moved by
