One Of the most popular theories
with respect to the North American In
dams IL that they are the lost tribes
Of Israel who wandered across Asia
and entered America by Boring straits.
But now a new idea has just been put
forward, for it appears that Turk
who II living in Mexico was very much
surprised, when out walking in the
country near the capital, to hear the
native speaking in a language which
greatly resembled his own. He spoke
TO them In Turkish, and found that they
understood him perfectly and that 10
could make out what they said.
The case has been submitted to an
American professor of philology, and
his report is awaited with some Inter-
est, as it will be curious, to say the
least Of 1t, If he can establish an anal
ogy between the dialects of the Mexican
indian and the Turks.-The Sketch.

"BEAUTY AND THE. BEAST"

How . Pretty Old story IL Misread
and >Misinterpreted.
When a lovely woman WEEDS a rich
coarse, cruel man, the cynical modern
observer exclaims, Beauty and the
Best!" The characterization is wick
ed misleading Of one of the loveliest OF
myths, a story as fruitful Of wisdom
to-day as when it sprang out Of the
early life Of the world.
Beauty was a good daughter and 4
brave woman. Her father lost his for
tune, and she set herself to serve him
When prosperity promised to return Il
him, she begged gift Of roses rathe,
than of Jewels or laces. When hl
again fell into trial, was captured by
the Beast and forced to promise one
Of his daughters as a ransom, Beauty
at once offered herself as tho sacri
fee.
In the palace Of the Beast, surround.
ed by every luxury, but not knowing
what fate awaited her, she never for
got her cid father, dreamed Of hin
nightly, AID at last begged leave to &c
to see him and return. Although she
was persuaded to stay a week beyond
her leave, she came back Loyalty to the
palace o: the Beast. The poor crea'
ture was half-dead Of grief for what
he believed to be her loss, and the
sight Of his pain and his delight gave
her courage to avow her recognition OF
his noble qualities, her love for him
and her resolve to be his wife in spite
Of his hideous exterior.
Instantly the Beast was transformed
into a handsome young price, freed
from an evil charm by the devotion OF
the brave woman, and Beauty ana the
prince came into their just Inheritance
Of Joy and peace.
The symbolism Of the myth has q
profound truth. The Beauty who would
work charm upon the Beast In man
to-day must also possess the simplicity
which prefers the rose to the dia.
mond, the industry which does not fear
poverty, the filial loyalty which will
not finch from dangerous duty, the In.
tuition which sees the great heart with
the ugly form, and the courage which
dares all for love.
When the woman, Of to-day and to-
morrow has all these powers at her
call, we shall see, not the hideous mod.
ern parody Of Beauty and tho Reast
but the perennial repetition of the love
~ cid story In which, led through trials
by q brave and virtuous woman, they
alp live happy ever after.-Youth'a
Companion.

According to the Letter.

There are some literal-minded per.
sons who are never satisfied with
the spirit of the law, but who con-
slider it necessary to enter into COM
promises with the letter. OF such was
an old citizen Of Hopkinton, N. H.,
a good many years ago, and his Jug
Cling with his conscience is recorded
by Mr.. Lord In the records of the
town.
The old man used to boast that he
never went back on his exact word.
but had no computations in going
round it. Once he wished to buy q
certain tract Of land, and when the
owner named the price he exclaimed:
Il won't give it! 1 tell you l will
never give tip
The owner did not yield, neverthe-
less. A few days afterward the old
man called again. He said nothing
about the land, but stepped into the
owners barn and picked up a fail
whats thatY' he asked.
"That7 Oh, that's a fall
$50 you call that a fail, do you1
Well, what would you take for itT'
The owner named q very small
sum.
Nov, I'll tell you what I'll d."
continued the old man. I'll give You
the price you mentioned for your land
and this fail. And you mustn't for
get the fail. It must be included In
the deed"
So the legal instrument was duly
made out, signed and delivered, re-
cording the purchase of certain tract
Of lend situated thus and so, and
bounded as follows, and also a certaia
fail.
