Yes, the old wound was open, no

VAR'IO'US FORMS OF SWEARING.
Tho oath of the Christian takes
two fortis, In England, Spain, It-
aly, Austria and America, among
other places, 1t is taken un the I3l-
hle. But the English alone hiss the
book. In Prance and ilelglum the
Scotch method of raising the hand
over thio head is practiced. Jews
swear very much like Christians.
But, while (3m Christian swears un
the Bible, the Jew swears with his
head covered -and on the Old Testa-
ment alone. And whore Christians
sa,v, "So help mo God " Jews say,
"So help me Jobovah." Curiously,
they do this unwillingly. To a
strict, religious Jew the Millie Je-
hovah is too sacred to be spoken in
a law court. But our officials en-
tertain the notion that it Is the cor-
rect form of a Jewish oath.
Parsecs sometimes give rise to
much perplexity in our courts. They
strongly object to being sworn on
rho Bible, and claim the right to
make the oath as in their own coun-
try -namely, by holding the tall of
a cow. The cow being a sacred ani-
mal in the oyes of the Parsec, be can
commit no sin while touching it. But
there is -fortunately an alternative.
In the city of London courts, some
years ago, it, being impracticable to
procure a cow, a Parsee took a 'Sac-
red relic out from his bosons and,
holding It• aloft, swore impressively,
"By God, and Cod Omniscient, and
God Omnipresent, and God Almigh•
ty."
Mahomotans are much opposed to
swearing. When they do swear it is
a very' solemn ceremony, and is per-
formed by holding the Koran in the
right hand, placing the loft hand on
the forehead and bringing the head
down to, tho book. A Mahometan
never commits perjury, In India
their prejudice against sw.eariug Is so
strong that tho government
A.T.LOWS THEM TO AFITRIZ,
Of all oaths the ,Buddhist ono
comes nearest to what an oath
should be. Although we swear to
tell the truth, we either do not un-
derstand what we promise to do or
we evade tho obligation, Tho Bud-
dhist cannot fall into the former er-
ror, so clearly does his oath indicate
what ho has to do. "I swear, as in
the presence of Buddha, that I am
unprejudiced, and if what I speak
prove false, or if by my coloring
truth others shall be led astray, then
may the three holy existences, Bud-
dha, Dhatrnna and Pro Sang°, to-
gether with the Devotees of the
Twenty -ono Firmaments, punish me
and also my migrating soul."
I?indua, like the Chinese, have a
variety of oaths. The laws of Manu
say: "Let the judge cause the priest
to swear by his veracity; the soldier
.by his horse or weapons; rho mer-
chant by his cattle, grain, gold, or
other possessions, and the servile
man by imprecating curses on his
own head," . When the Gentoo swears
he touches his hand to the foot of
a Gcntoo, while the Brahmin swears
by touching another. Bralunin's hand
with his own.
In Mexico many people still adhere
-to a curious old form of oath. They
swear by touching earth with the fin-
ger and then placing the auger on
rho tongue, which signifies: "If my
tongue speak falsely may I be re-
duced to dust("
Until comparatively recently n.
priest in France simply swore "on
the word of a prinst."
SOLEMN VOWS OF TETE CITINESE
The Chinese have the greatest var-
iety and most curious oaths of all
nations. The well-known one of tak-
ing a saucer and breaking it, while
the clerk says, "You shall tell the
truth and the whole truth; the'sau-
cer is cracked, and if you do not toll
the truth your Soul shall be cracked
Ulm the saucer" -seems rather ab-
surd to us. But it is an extremely
binding declaration to a Chinamen,
for ho believes that the soul can be
divided into fragments.
More effective, however, in tho oyes
of the celestials, is the joss stick
oath.. Tho joss nick is set might,
and while it burns the Glimpse swear-
er wishes that his Soul :nest bo burn-
ed like tho stick if he gives false ova-
deuce. The Chinese swear in many
other ways, A very solemn 'cath is
made by writing certain sacred char-
acters on a paper and burning it.,
praying at tho some time that ho
may be burned if he does not speak
the truth. Sometimes he swears by
burliing a piece of straw. But noth-
ing is so forcible in atraWing the
truth from a Chinaman as getting
him to cut off a cock's stead: This,
like the breaking of the saucer, has
a religious foundation. The Chinese
believe that if their bodies aro nutti-
latecd on earth their souls will be

The coops in which the ehlctto are
put for fattening are about 8S feel
long, le inches wide and 18 laches
high inside. Each coop ie divided
into three compartments and in
each 0110 0f these is put five clucks.
The coops are made of sticks or rods
with a sllding door in front of each
compartment.
The chicks aro fed about three
weeks, but sometimes longer or less,

received, and the activity or aullnoss

sour, to a consistency of thin por-

usually fed raw In a V-shaped wood-

coop. The chicks are fed a small
amount of this three times a day at
first. They pro kept hungry for the
first week and after this they are fed
twice a day as mucic as they will.eat.
During the last ten dava a small
quantity or tallow Is added to the

with a small portion of ureal, when
it will mix readily with the bulk of

chicks is given at the begilfning of

GREENLAND'S NEWSPAPER
It Is Now Published Every, Two
Weeks,
About twenty years ago a little
newspaper began to be printed at
Godthaab on the southwest coast of
Greenland. It appeared in the Es-
quimau language and was one of the
most unique productions of the
printing press. It Was called the
Atnagliutl (the heaver), and at
first was issued only once in e. while,
as the editor did not print a new
issue until he sold all the copies of
the preceding one.
Lars Moeller isthe name of the.
editor and publisher of this lititle
Greenland newspaper. Ile has made
his paper very useful because it has
stimulated a desire among the na-
tives to learn to read, For some
years past the piper has been print-
ed as a monthly publication, but it
now appears once. in every LWo
weeks,
Years ago, when Nordenslcjold
made his trip inland on the great
ice cap of southern Greenland,' he
was accompanied by this Esquimau.
Lars Moeller, who confided to the ex-
plorer his ambition to become to
journalist. Tho young man was
clever with his pencil, end he show-
ed pictures which he had drawn and
that he thought would interest his
compatriots and make then anxious
to learn to read. Nordcnskjold was
very much impressed with the.intel-
ligenco, industry and ambition of
the young Esquimau, and on; his re-
turn to Sweden he sent hien a prints
ing press and a supply of ink and
paper.
Tn the course of time Lars, who
had become proficient In reading and
writing, acquired the art of setting
type and running the printing press.
Then he added another accomplish-
ment, which was perhaps the basis
of his success as a publisher. He
studied themethods of engraving on
stone, and after awhile be was able
to transfer to stone, }roughly, to be
sure, but with some degree of ade-
quacy, the drawings ho made.
The first copies of his paper con-
tained only pictures, such as scenes
of hunting in Greenland, and also
simple pictures based upon those
made in Europe showing some inter-
esting phases of life among foreign
peoples. Ho found that the pictures
excited much interest amen' the Es-
quitnaux.
Then 110 began to print some des-
criptive matter in the Esquimau lane
guage under the pictures. A con-
siderable number of the natives had
learned to read and they would tell
choir friends what was written in the
descriptions ; thus many of the na-
tives gradually became desirous of
reading themselves so that unaided
they might find what the pictures
were about, Lars 1vloeller's little
paper probably (11d more than any
other one ngency to stimulate a 'de-
siro to learn rending and writing.
Several thorsnnds of the natives of
south Greenland can now read the
Bible and other books published in
Tsgsriolau,
Finally the editor began to include
in his paper items of news with ro
gard to Greenland affairs and prices
of eiderdown, skins and such other
commercial information its Wns of
praotical value to the natives. They
began to loolt for the 00m111g of their
newspaper as an event promising
both plcastu•o and profit, So
rho little newspaper of Godthaab
now wields considerable influence in
Greenland and is interesting to ninny
foreigners because its letter prose and
mechanical features, - including . its
rather remarkable engravings, are
entirely the product of Lars and his
assistants. In addition to his news-
paper he has published a number of
little books in Flsquimau which are
devoted to the preservation of Ess
quimau fables and traditions; t
