The Cherokee. and polytheism

The Cherokee Indian was originally
n polytheist. To him the spirit world
was only shadowy counterpart Of
this one. He had no great spirit, no
happy hunting ground, no heaven, no
hell-all of which ideas were first in
troduced to the American aborigines
by Christian missionaries. Consequent
ly death had for him no terrors. and he
awaited the inevitable end with no
anxiety as to the future. All his pray
ers were for temporal and tangible
blessings-for health, for long life, for
success in the chase, in fishing, In war
and in love, for good crops, for protec-
tlon and for revenge.

TO obtain salt the Bakalulua and 9th
er African natives burn banana leaves
and certain grasses and, collecting the
ashes place them In large funnel in
geniously made from large banana
leaves. Through this they percolate
water and then evaporate the filtered
water by boiling, obtaining a fairly
white salt composed of n very small
amount of chloride OF sodium and a
very large amount of chlorate of potash
and other salts. Prior TO the advent OF
the traders and the missionaries this
was the only salt they had to satisfy
the natural craving of a vegetable eat
ing people.

Dreams Explained.

Dreams" says an eminent lecturer
on theosophy, consist of recollections
of the combined impressions received
and workings Of the physical and as
trail minds. The soul and subconscious-
ness are Independently active, and it is
the confusion arising from the con-
founding of the thoughts Of the soul
with the exaggerated Interpretation OF
impressions received by subconscious-
ness which makes it so often impossi-
BILE to remember dreams"

The Moslem still slaps his hands at
the sight of the new moon and mutters
a prayer, although the Koran appears
to forbid the practice in the words,
Bend not In alteration of the sun or
moon" Herodotus accuses the ancient
Persians of being moon worshipers,
and. though they denied the practice,
the following passage from the Zend
Avesta would seem to be conclusive:

The Missionary Apple Tree

In the rectory garden of Pysford, near
Working, England. there stands what
is familarly known as the missionary
apple tree. The tree is large one and
of good age and has been so named
for the reason that for many years
past ii has been the custom Of the rec
tor OF the parish TO collect the fruit,
sell it in the best market and devote
the proceeds to the missionary socie-
ties of the Church of England. Quite n
large sum of money has been raised
in this way, and the apples. which are
OF the BlenheIm orange variety, always
find ready sale ut excellent prices
among the gentry and farmers OF the

THE PLAY LAST NIGHT,

Tolstoi's Resurrection was played
at Fishers last night to packed

throughout was marked. The play is
bya master hand and is full Of great
