INDIAN DICIPLlNE.
Red Men Are Possessed OF Much Natu.
raj Po1iteness.


No people are possessed of a greater
share of natural politeness than the
Indians, wrote Isaac Weld in 1893;
they will never interrupt while another
is speakingl nor, If one has told them
anything which they think to be false,
will they bluntly contradict him. They
deem 1t highly becoming in a warrior
to accommodate his manners to those
of the people with whom he may hap
pen to be. The following anecdote is
told by Mr.. Weld in How Our Grand
fathers Lived:
Our friend Nekig, The Little Otter,
had been invited to dine with us at
the house of a gentleman at Detroit
and he came accordingly, accompanied
by his little son, a boy of nine or ten
years.
After dinner a variety of fruits was
served, and among the rest were some
peaches, a dish of which was handed
to the you>g Indian.
He helped himself to one with be-
coming propriety; but Immediately af-
terward he put the fruit to his mouth
and bit piece out of 1t.

ton, and spoke some words to him In
a low voice, which l could not under
stand, but which, on being interpreted
by one of the company proved to be
warm reprimand for his having been
so deficient in observation as not to
peel his peach, as he saw the gentle
man opposite him had done.
The little fellow was extremely
ashamed of himself; but he quickly
retrieved his error by drawing plate
toward him and peeling the fruit with
the greatest neatness.
Some drink to which he was after
ward helped, not being by any means
agreeable to his palate, the little fellow
made wry face, as a child might nat
urally do. This called forth another
reprimand from the father, who told
him that he despaired of ever seeing
him a great man or q good warrior II
be appeared thus to dislike what bis
host had kindly given him. The boy
took the rest of his drink with seem
ing pleasure.

1t is easy to comprehend on these
lonely, barren cliffs why Egypt has
been the birthplace and nursery of mo-
nasticism. Recent discoveries have
revealed the fact that this existed be-

Memphis in the fourth century B. G.
During the prosecutions under Severus,
Decius and other Roman emperors,
what was more natural than that we'll

populous towns and green fields of the
Delta and Nile valley, to take refuge
in mountain caves, near to some little
oasis, placing many leagues of barren
wilderness between them and their tor
mentors? Food might be scarce, but
water was assured to them; and in
those circumstances marriage, with he
prospective care of young children,
would be highly undesirable, or as st.
