The cherokee Agreement.

In speaking of the new Cherokee
treaty the Bristow Record has this to
say: The Indian citizens of this part
OF the Teri tory are as anxious for
the treaty to be ratified as the whites
are. They fully realize the fact that
every inducement offered to cause
white immigration bas a tendency to
increase the value of their property
and produce. 1t is expected that the
treaty will be ratified in the near
future.

THE PASSOVER AND EASTER.
The Variation Between the Jewish
and the Christian Festival

Since the events of holy week and the
resurrection took place during the Jewish
passover. it-scems strange that the cele-
bration in the syuagogueS and in Chris
tian churches should not always be at the
same time. The explanation is that the
Jewish calendar, which dates from the
creation of the world. is regulated by the
rabbis Their system is based on the lu-
mar month, which is often nearly two
days shorter than the month of the
Christian calendar Corrections are made.
but instead Of 4 day such as is in leap
year an entire month is added, so that
some jewish years consist of Is months.
AS Easter always falls or the first Sun
day following the full moon next after
March 81, this additional month in Ger
tain years causes a variation between
the passover and the Christian festival

The word bun, he insists. is derived from
the naue of the sacred cake which the
Romans offered every seventh day. The
story at Cecrops. another legend of mag

that the seal question would be settled.

per cent Of the seals illegally killed are

been already branded, says the governor
but with the clumsiest of apparatus, and by
the most unskiliful hands.
THE branded seals suffer as little from
the operation as do Quadrupeds, says
Governor Brady, 'and the introduction OF
this system will speed the branding which
appears TO be the only method by which
we can prevent extinction of the Species
