The people use the skins Of animals

The people use the skins Of animals
1W their bottles. They put wine Into
these skins before it has finished fer
msntinG. As 1t ferments the skins e1-
pand. They dare not use these skin
bottles . second year, as further dis
tension would mean their bursting.
Jesus said mo man putteth new wine
into old bottles, or the bottles will
burst and the wine be spilled" These
sktn bottles are used also for making
butter. The camel cream is put into
It and the bottle hung from q tripod.
Il u made by two persons facing each
other, with the bottle between them.
They seize the bottle In about the CEN
trs oe the cream, with the fore finger
and thumb pointing downward. They
give the bay . sudden squeeze. and
then with q twist of the hand throw the
cream upward in the bottle. 1t is an
action closely resembling the twist
and pull one would give to some offend
ing persons nose. In Proverbs Xxx
SO, We read "As the churning Of milk
bringeth forth butter, SO doth the
wringing of the nose bring forth
blood" When these skin bottles are
left to hang up in the smoke filed
house, they get smoked and dry, and
are then hardly fit to be further used.
David said that he was like bottle
in the smoke. His meaning being that
he was in backslidden state.
Travellers in passing through the
land, are allowed by custom to demand
aid receive from the village they en-
camp near, protection during the night.
The headman of the village will pro-
vide keeper, whose business 1t is to
keep the fire burning, and to watch out
against the approach of robbers. A
fear Of darkness, and the risks run by
the keeper make him long for the
morning. In Psalm cxxx. which would
be sung as the people were encamping
for the night on their march to the fes-
tivals, David there said they were like
the keeper who longed for the morning.
They were looking with hope to the
dawning of rhe morn of immortal hope.
In Psalm cxxi The Psalmist said that
while it was possible for their keeper
to sleep, and fatal results follow, the
Lord had a constant watch care over
them and would neither slumber nor
sleep. This Psalm like the other one
would be used as they encamped, and
slept the sleep amid danger, in wonder
concerning the faithful or unfaithful
watch of their human keeper.
He concluded his course of interest
ing lectures on last friday evenin 6

DR.. WATSON ON
THE HOLY LAND

Commencing last Sunday, in the
Methodist church, Professor George
W. Watson, b. A, began series of
lectures on the manners and customs
of the people of Bible lands. The
lecturer spoke three times on Sunday,
and each night to Thursday The
lecturer has travelled the several Bible
lands. and has carefully noted all he
has seen. He makes these customs of
the people pay tribute to the Bible
This is novel and reliable method of
teaching. DR.. Watson does not adopt
the style of the conventional lecturer,
but rather that of the newspaper man,
which he was for several years. Space
forbids reporting all the valuable
things he has said, but only in part
can the report be .given. Among
other things he has said the follow
ing -.
The villagers yet grind their wheat
with two horizontal stones. The
stones measure from fourteen to eight
cen inches across. The upper stone is
light porous gritty sandstone, which
wears away in the grinding 1t has a
wood peg at the edge. which both
women grasp to grind, for the women
will sit cross legged facing each other
a. they grind. Jesus said 1.-TWO
women will be grinding at the mill;
one shall be taken and the other left"
The bottom mill stone is heavy and
hard. The natives have 1t SO because
they do not have to turn 1t. The Book
Of Job XII. "a, says His heart 10 as firm
~ stone; yea, as hard as a neither
milestone" 1t would be such small
millstones rs these that Jesus referred
to when he spoke Of the offender hav.
Ing one tied about his neck, and he
cast into the sea. The people grind
wheat, and bake bread daily. The
Lords prayer for daily bread" il posi-
lively Eastern.
The mourning which goes on in the
house Of the dead is weird. 1t IL usual
10 mourn for three or seven days.
This is done by bringing into the
house several hired mourners. These
mourners wall and howl, whilst many
have the power to shed tears. These
lre paid according to their ability to
mourn. Such business is hypocriti-
cal in the extreme, for while they are
nwardly glad at the business that has
turned up. they are hard at work earn
Ing money by shamming sorrow. 1t
would be such persons as these that
Jesus turned out Of the house Of
Jairus. when he elected the mourners
who laughed him to scorn at the prom
lse Of q miraculous return to life.

The Napkin Ring Trick.

Insert the two forefngers into a
napkin ring from different sides and
turn the fingers around each slowly,
letting the direction be away from
the body. Close the fingers and
thumb of each hand around the
ring and bring the tips of the four
together. Open them and drop the
ring. This sounds simple, but if you
succeed in half dozen attempts it
is astonishing. When the tips of
the fingers and thumb are brought
together the tips of the fingers Of
the right hand must rest on the
thumb of the left, and vice versa. In
opening keep the fingers and thumbs
joined together, perfectly still, and
the ring will at once be free.
The Line that suits them all.

number of questions arise. Those in
volved in the issues now being tried
before Judge Burnham are: First,
whether or not tribal Indian has the
legal capacity to sue in his own right;
second, has the court of Iowa jurisdic-
ton in an action brought by an In
dian.
The Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
alleged recently by one Of its trains
killed a pony belonging to one of the
tribe, and he has commenced suit to
recover the value Of the pony from the
railway company.
1t Is contended that inasmuch as
these Indians have ar elective chief,
and an elective council which as
sembles at regular periods, complete
record of the proceedings of these
stated councils carefully preserved by
the Indians, laws or rules adopted by
them by which offenses are punished,
differences adjusted, customs regu-
lated, and general oversight held over
the reservation makes them a separ-
ate though dependent nation, and SO
long rs the federal government
recognizes their national character,
they are under the laws and treaties
Of congress and their property with
drawn from the operation of state
laws.
The result of the suit will be
watched with a deep interest by trades
people and others in the vicinity of the
reservation, for If it is established by
the courts that the Indians can sue
| and be sued many cases will he
brought both by and against them, as
many of them are badly in debt ant
claim to have suffered many losses a
the hands Of the white men, The ques
lions that will arise are far-reachine
and may involve the subordination Of
their reservation lands.
