THE HOG AND WINTER

TN MANY parts Of New England
= when hogs are killed the intestines
are carefully examined to find out
what sort of winter 1t is going TO
be. The whole intestines represent
the coming winter. If the middle por-
ton is thickly covered with fat the
middle of the winter will be severe.
The same is true of the other parts |;
a little fat indicating warm weather
and much fat cold weather. This sup
erstition in modified forms is general
all over the United States and Canada,
in some places the divination not be-
ing confined to the intestines but ex-
tended to other interior parts of the
slaughtered animal
This superstition is a survival of
haruspication-the form of divination
by which, in ancient times, the future
was foretold by the inspection of the
entrails of animals offered In sacri-
fee. The haruspices of ancient Rome
were caste Of subordinate priests OF
lower status than the augurs who,
however, performed like duties In this
respect. Haruspication Is said TO have
been derived by the Romans from the
more ancient Etrurians; but it is EVIL

DIGESTION

DIGESTIyE ferments are often
Il combined with alcohol for pre-
sentative purposes, but this may also
destroy the living, vital power Of the
ferment.
The taste or odor of staleness, or
decomposition, in digestive prepare
lions is an indication that they are
unfit for use.
Attempts are often made TO mask
this condition of decomposition by
combination with aromatic substances.
To test the quality of pepsin
preparation, it may be pur into a test
tube with milk.
If the cheese curd in the milk is
not digested and promptly liquefed,
the conclusion to be drawn from the
test is that the pepsin is not good

they are used as distinct names, both

The source of these two names is
bound up in the history of the prophet

called Elias. When the Empress
Helena visited Palestine she built a
church on Mt. Carmel, around which
rose cluster of hermitages.
The order of Carmelites was said to
have been founded by the prophet him.

into Palestine 1t first came into note
and its fame became widespread
throughout the West. ST. Mary was
made its patroness and In Italy she
became known as the Madonna di Car

a result the two names of Carmela and
Carmine gained great popularity among
the italian women. They are still used
there and in Spain. where Carmine was
turned into Carmen. the name became
a national fayorite.

of the seaboard. When that hundred
year contest was won by the British
on the Plains of Abraham the argue
bus of Champlain was no small factor
in that momentous victory.
Now for the widening Of the circle
set in motion by Champlain on the
lake he discovered and named for him

At the outbreak of the American
Revolution. the Iroquois Confederacy
and its allied tribes went with the
British Except the Oneidas). They
carried blood and torture to the Ameri-
can frontier. After the Revolution
most of the Iroquois fed to Canada as
a refuge from the wrath of the victors.
Again the widening circle set In
motion by Champlain's arquebus:
In the summer of 1881 Christian Iro-
quois from a Jesuit mission in Canada
visited the Flatheads in Montana and
told them about the BLACK Robes
Jesuit priests. These Flatheads were
uncontaminated by the white man
honest, peaceful and moral. Two
F1atheads and two Nez Perces jour-
neyed to st. Louis and asked Gen. Will
liam Clark to send them BLACK
Robes" to teach them to worship the
white mans God The BLACK Robes"
went to the Flatheads in 1910, headed
by the famous Father de Smet.
This touching appeal of the Flat
heads, however, set in motion other
forces q chance sojourner in st.
Louis wrote up" these Indians for an
eastern newspaper. The most imme-
date result was that in 1882 the Meth
odists Of New England sent Jason Lee
as preacher and teacher, Circum-
stances landed them in Oregon instead
of Montana In 1885 the Presbyte-
rians sent Marcus Whitman and Sam
uel Parker. They, too, landed in Ore
gon, because of travel conditions
through the wilderness.
The Oregon country at this time
was in the practical control Of the
Hudson's Bay company. But both Lee
and Whitman were men of affairs.
They busted themselves with coloniz-
ing as well as with spreading the Cos
pei and soon the American settlement
of the Oregon country was well under
