ourselves they said in this proclamation which was issued In January 1793 the military will not hesitate to adopt it being fully ed that appearances are at all times to be sacrificed to the public weal and that in doing this they really do good Jan 27 1795 In the following April a party of gen tlemen at Woburu abbey entered into an engagement to forfeit a certain sum of money if any of them wore their hair tied or powdered within a certain period Nevertheless the Tories regarded with distrust persons who did not use hair powder So late as 1820 a certain Major Cox of Derby au excellent Tory declined to allow his son to become a pupil of a well known clerical tutor for the reason that the clergyman did not powder and that he wore his hair short which suggested that he must be a

objects of worship was one that Aas very com mon among the ancients The stones first worshiped Avere probably of mete oric origin Avhich having been seen to fall from heaven Avere easily associat ed Avith some deity In Roman mythol ogy Abadires Avas the name given to a stone AAhich was Avorshiped because it AA as the general belief that it had once been swalloAved by Saturn The standing Images referred to as being prohibited in Leviticus xxAi 7 are thought to have been these same anointed stones In the light which modern investigation has throAvn upon the curious customs of the early east the act of Jacob AAhich is recorded at the first Scriptural reference mention ed in this note is of special interest as shoAAing the mood of his mind and heart after a nights entertainment of such a gracious and blessed vision To this day the anointed stones of the orient are called bactylia Avhich Bo chart suggests may be derived from Bethel AAhere Jacob first anointed a pillar as a sacred memorial THE VALUABLE MOOSE It Is the Staff of Life In the Great Northern AVilderneM What the buffalo was to the plains the white tail deer to the southern Aoods and the caribou to the barrens the moose is t j the great northern belt of swamp and timber land of British America It is the creature that enables the na tives to live at all Assisted in warm weather by various fish it bears prac tically the burden of their support Its delicious steaks are their staple food but its nose or muzzle is a delicacy Its hide furnishes the best clothing and moccasin leather or provides snow shoes that enable the hunter to kill more moose Its back sinew is the sew ing thread of the country its horns and bones make tools Its hoofs can be con ATerted Into rattles and its coarse bris tly mane six inches long and AAhite ex cept the tips furnishes raw material for embroidery When dyed Avith dyes and skillfully Avorked into leather and birch bark these bristles are as effectiA e as porcupine
