A modo of bringing to uotlco tho barbarian

eration is to translate Into Knglish familiar
persouul names from tho Old Testament, such
us tlio Dog, tho Dove, the Myelin, tho Lion's
Vhelp, tho Strong Ass, tho Adder, ami tho
Illuming Mind. This brings Into Immediate
connection tho IJngllsh translation of Indian
name, such as Illg llenr, White ntitTnlo,
Wolf, lted Cloud, Black Hawk, Fox, Crow,
and Turtle. Such Israelite names wero tirob-
ably of Gentile origin, that is, from the clan
or gens, for tho Israelites were surely Gen
tiles In tho truo sense, although later thoy
abjured tho charge. Hut Individuals among
them may n'.so havo adopted Btich names lie

Such selection is made by souio Indians apart
