In the following April a party of gen

an engagement to forfeit a certain

their hair tied or powdered within a

Nevertheless the Tories regarded with

ANOINTING STONES
A Cim torn That AVns Very Common
Among the Ancients
The custom of anointing stones with
oil Genesis xxviii IS 19 and leaving
them as memorial pillars or 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

What the buffalo was to the plains

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
