by the original inhabitants. Thus the
Romans in ancient times absorbed the
numerous peoples which inhabited the
Italian peninsula and brought them into
the fold Of Latin civilization. On the
other hand, the Indians of Mexico and
South America to great extent absorbed
the conquering Spaniards and Portu-
guese and lowered their level of civiliza-
ton.
In the case Of the Indians of North
America, however, neither Of the two
things happened. 1t has always been a
wise rule with the English people in its
colonial inyasions all over the world new
er to mix with the inferior races Of the
invaded countries. That is probably one
of the reasons Of the invariable success
of England's colonial policy. The inva-
sion Of North America offers one of the
best examples Of that policy, if strictly
adhered to. The white invaders have
fought bloody wars with the Indians, who
desperately resisted the forward march
Of civilization. Periods, of bitter strife
have alternated with periods Of peace and
friendly commercial relations. In spite
Of all that the invaders have not absorb
ed any considerable number Of the In
dams. There was no danger at any time
that the blood Of the millions Of white
invaders would become debased by the in

OF the higher criticism) have had the ef-
feet or repelling men from the ministry
of at least some Christian churches. On
the contrary, however, it would be nat
ural for young and vigorous men, as in
the past, to be attracted by trials and
discussions as affording field for accom-
plishment.
Other authorities tell us that the recent
financial crisis and the revival of bust
ness which has followed it are the chief
causes Of the trouble. It is true, no
doubt, that when the panic of 1893 came
many young men just entering on their
studies preparatory to a theological edu-
cation found it impossible to continue.
These probably would have been entering
the scminaries within the last two or
three years. It is true also that with
the return Of prosperity these and others,
who would have looked toward the minis
try under normal conditions, have been
attracted into business by the opportuni-
ties offered in that sphere. These expla-
nations are but partial ones.
Over against these conjectural and un.
satisfactory quests for the reason of de-
creased numbers in the seminaries may
be advanced the theory that the supply
for several years past has been larger
than the demand. If we take the Presby-
terrain Church as typical we shall find
that for twenty-five years, ending with
1895, the number of churches grew more
rapidly than the number of ministers. But
during the six years since 1895 the num-
Der Of ministers has increased 50 much
faster than the churches that at the
present day there are more ministers on
the rolls in proportion to the number of
churches than at any time in history. The
curious feature of the case is that this
extraordinary increase in the number of
ministers came precisely during the years
which show the steadily diminishing num-
Der Of students in the Summaries. The
conclusion cannot be avoided, therefore,
that the condition in the theological semi
naries is due to the conviction that there
are too many ministers already.
Ii this be the correct diagnosis Of the
case, it follows that there is no serious
ground for alarm to the Christian Church.
Whenever in the providence of God a
larger number Of ministers shall be need
ed, the church may he trusted to furnish
them. ANDREW c.. ZENOS, D. D.,

PrODaRatine the Mistletoe.


The story Of how the mistletoe gets on
the trees is a most interesting one. Gov
ering the mistletoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come in the win:
ter season, when food is comparatively
scarce, and hence some of our birds eat
them freely. Now when a robin eats a
cherry he swallows simply the meat
and hips the stone away. The seed OF
the mistletoe the bird cannot flip. It is
sticky and holds to his bill. His only
resource is to wipe it off, and he does
so, leaving it sticking to the branches
Of the tree on which he is sitting at the
time. This seed sprouts after a time,
and not finding earth which indeed its
ancestral habit has made It cease want
ing-it sinks its roots into the bark of
the tree and hunts there for the pipes
that carry the sap. Now the sap in the
bark is the very richest in the tree, far
richer than that in the wood, and the
mistletoe gets from its host the choicest
Of food. With strange foresight it
does not throw it's leaves away,as do
most parasites, but keeps them to use
in winter, when the tree is leafless.-La.

becomes ssimilated.
Like the other four races, tho Indians
live within the territory of the Ameri-
can republic, but their. life is apart from
that Of the other races. They stand COM
pletely isolated and live, so to say, merely
because the white invaders have not en-
tirely exterminated them. A foreigner
travelling through the United States will
find it rather difficult to convince himself
of the existence Of Indians on the Amer
lean continent. The Indians are there,
nevertheless. The United States govern
ment spends nearly $10,000,O00 year
for their support and education.
Scarcely a century ago the Indians oc-
cupied practically the entire territory
of North America excepting the Atlantic
coast and part of the coast Of
the Gulf of Mexico. Nearly three
millions of square miles of total of
100000 We're occupied by the Indians,
who never numbered more than 100000.
Now there are but 236,OOO Indians left,
the majority Of whom live upon reserva-
tons. A century ago they We're the &C.
tual owners of three millions of square
miles of territory, while now they are
confined to an area of 100000 square
miles.
The number of Indians in the United
States is steadily decreasing. The last
census shows that it has diminished by
10000 since 1870. Thus it seems that
the Indians are destined to share the
fate of the buffalo. Deprived of their
hunting fgrounds and confined to quiet
agricultural life within the narrow limits
Of their reservations, the Indians live a
miserable life like wild bird in q cage.
The lack Of proper food and hardening
exercise makes them easy victims to tu-
berculosis and other diseases, and whisky
causes their rapid degeneration. There
is but one logical finale to the struggle be-
tween the whites and the Indians-the
complete determination of the latter.

The poster is SO unlike the invitations

parently it has never occurred to the
officers who devised the poster that the
fact that a young men cannot rise from

that keeps ambitious young men from

They can never rise above the rank
of non-commissioned officer. No mat

Greyhouuds Hold the Record for Get

Three men in carriage, followed by
four dogs, alighted at one Of the road
houses just beyond Kingsbridge while

proved to be so interesting in their con-

beyond my time to listen to them and to
learn something that I did not know
before. When the dogs took me into

same.

GATHERING THE ICE CROP.
Cutting system Now In Use IL More
Elaborate than Old Method. -

Cutting 6ystem Now In Use IL More
Elaborate than Old Method. =.
In these modern days the cutting Of
Ice is a much more elaborate process
than it was fifteen or twenty years ago,
when workmen simply went out on the
frozen surfaces of lakes and rivers with
y one-handled crcsscut saw and cut out
the cakes, which were drawn up an in
cline into the icehouses by means Of
ropes. Nowadays each cake is handled
more or less by about dozen men be-
fore 1t reaches its place in the icehouse.
In the first place, If the surface of the
Ice is not perfectly clear it is swept or
scraped free Of all snow or anything
else that may be lying upon it. Then
the marker, the man who is to scratch
the lines along which the ice cakes are
to be cut, begins operations. In a
frame, to which handles similar to
those of plow are attached for guild
Ing purposes, are two teeth, one in the
rear Of the other. A horse attached to
this frame drags it over the ice while
u 40 AAACSlCu ~ l1c Ul1tcI W uO uOluS
the handles. The teeth cut into the ice
deep enough to leaye,a assure that can
easily be traced. After cutting lines,
all running in the same direction, the
marker cross-cuts these with lines run
ming at right angles, thus marking out
the exact size of the cakes to he cut.
After the marking off is completed, or
sometimes before it is finished, the cut
Ting machine is brought out on the ice.
Rhis machine is somewhat similar in
design to the marker, but it is of heav-
er construction, stronger; and has teeth
about ten inches in length. Often both
this machine and the marker have an
extension arm fitted with teeth, the
stretch Of the arm being the exact
width of cake of ice. The cutting ma
chine is driven up and down the ice
until the knives or teeth have cut into
it their full length. If the ice is over ten
inches in thickness the cutting is, of
course, not yet completed and the old
hand-saws are brought into play to fin
