HEALTH IN THE STATE.
The report Of the secretary, which
will shortly be made to the governor,
will show the general condition Of
health ia the state to be excellent.
During the first part of 1895 the board
quarantined about dozen places IN the

Likes and Dislikcs.


Our likes and dislikes toward other peo-
pie seem usually to rest upon some ca
price and not upon any logical or sensi-
BILE reason whatever The character OF
disposition or the outward appearance of
an individual does not account for the
like or dislike We feel toward him. Neither
do his circumstances, his environment, his
mentality or his learning invariably fur
niSh excuse for our feeling.
We carrot say that We like dislike
people according to their like or dislike for
US since We often like those who dislike
us. and dislike those who have a strong
liking for us. Nor do we necessarily al
ways like those who have given us benefits,
and to whom we have feeling of obliga-
tion. Gratitude may create a liking, but
it is by no means always the case that
il does.
Those t. whom we are bound by some
tie whether of social, business or family
afe do not always command our affec-
ton. Yet We cannot say that such a bond
always creates dislike.
We sometimes hear an impulsye person
eXclaim that he always dislikes people
whom he feels that he ought to like. But
an equal number of natures seem able to
train their likes and dislikes in the d.
rection of their duty, as vines are trained
upon a trelliS.
If any one has discovered what law
governs the likes and dislkeS of human
beings toward one another ne must be
the same individual who has discovered
the law of chance, and perhaps the twc
are synonymous.

THE LANGUAGE CHRIST SPOKE.
Arguments Tending to show That 1t
Was Syrfnc or Aramaic.

from tie Chicago Tribune
Mrs. Agnes Smith Lewis, the oriental
scholar. who not long ago discovered an
ancient Syriac text of the four gospels in a
monastery at Mount Sinai and translated
IL, contributes an article to the December
Century i'm which she discusses the ques-
ton. What Language Did Christ Speak,
WniI, many scholars believe he spoke
Greek. because three of the four gospels
are supposed to have been written IN that
language others believe he spoke Semitic
tOngUe. probably Aramaic, which was al
thai lime the yernacular of Palestine. and
with this belief AIRS Lewis sympathizes.
la die cOJrse of this discussion Mrs.
Lewis brings out many points of interest.
SYRIA, or Christian Aramaic, was the first
language into which the New Testament
was translated. Aramaic not being a cor
Cupy form of Hebrew. as many suppose but
. distinct language. Again, Hebrew had
ceased 10 be the language of the common
peop.e before Christs advent. The rabbis
spoke 10 the common people in Aramaic.
all The documents pertaining TO law and
business were written in that language and
even some of the prayers of the synagogue
were translated into IL. The weight of evil
oenCe faVorS the theory that Paul used the
Language in writing 10 the Romans or at
le4S thought in 1t, and that the most inter-
estng Of our Lords dsscourses were de-
nvered in il. One of the most important of

following illustration of her subject:

Mrs Lewis arguments is contained in the
following Illustration of her subject:
We have, first of all, the various Ara
maio phrases actually embodied In the
Greek text as having been uttered by our
Lord, such as ephphatha the openedJ, ta-
!itha, cumi (maiden. arise), where the word
cumi might be Hebrew Syriac or Arabic
And the last despairing cry OF our Lord on
the cross, Eloi, ElOi. lama sabachthani? is
not translated In the Sinaitic palimpsest
for the good reason that Ii is natural part
of the Syriac text.
Take next the names of persons and
places in the New Testament. The Syrac
word for son Is bar. and we have Bar
tholomew, Barabbas, Bar-Jesus. Bar-Jona
Barnabas. Bar-Timaeus. Had Hebrew been
the spoken tongue, these names would have
run Bartholomew. Ben-Jesus, etc We have
also cepha "a stone, feminine gender), Boan-
erges-i e, Beni-rogaz (sons of thunder)
S&pphira (the beautiful Thona Uhe twin)
Martha Uhe mistress). Tabitha Uhe ga
zelie). B1thSaida (houSe of fiShing), Naza-
reth twatch). Gethsemane Tan oil press),
Golgotha tplace of a skulD, Aceldama (the
field of blood. 1t may well be ex-
planned that the final syllable of most of
these names, il. is "a distinctive Syriac ter
mnation- The words nammop. (iatt VI,
2D and raca Matt. ", 22) and abba are
Syriac Also.
Mrs. Lewis cites many other convincing
. indications that Christ spoke in Syriac or
Aramaic. the most of which are too tech
nical for In this connection. She has
poured a flood of light upon most alb
struse subject with the aid Of her recent
important Observation-Disclosures. first for
the mysterious reason, which probably no
cne will ever explain, that Christ did not
set down a single line In writing of his doc
trines or teachings: and second. because no
one took down those teachings. they hav-
ing been written In their present form from
memory years after his ascension. The dis
oussion of this question will engage the at
tention of scholars, and many interesting
contributions to the literature of the SUBJ
ject may be expected. especially from the
new point OF view introduced by Mrs.
Lewis.
