To trace the origin of the popular misconception that the two names are synonymous, a mistake to which even some of our best known sportsmen of today must plead guilty, we, have to dive into the not always limpid depths of earlv mediaeval history. For the event which has probably more to do than any other with the promulgation of this error was the famous hunt given by Charlemagne to the ambassadors of Haroun-al-Rashid in the dank Hercyian woods that surrounded his hunt ing lodge, Heristallum. According to the original account by the monk Eglnhard of St. Gall, the aurochs were of such terror-instilling appearance to the men from the east that they could not oven bear the sight of them, and lied from the emperor's side. The latter, attacked by the fierc est of these monsters, missed the vital spot, with the result that before brave Isambart could slay it tho emperor was slightly wounded in the thigh and had his nether garment torn into shreds. Rushing to his side, the assembled cour tiers offered to divert themselves of their own hose, but tho emperor laughingly rejected their offer3, declaring that he intended to show him self in his sorry plight to the fair Ilildegardo. who was a great huntress herself. Needless to eay, thi3 adventure proved a mediaeval "scoop" of the gaudiest kind, but in the course of un numbered retellings the aurochs became a wi sent, as was called the European bison, and since that time a perplexing confusion has reigned be tween these two animals. That the true aurochs, which became extinct three hundred years ago, was an entirely different animal from the bison, whose name, alas! is also on the list of animals about to share the auroch's fate, is now a fact known to all scientific men. To the writer tho poor old bison's pathetic fate appeals more par ticularly, for when shooting in tho Rockies in the seventies of last century he still saw them in herds of ten thousand. Hut as the men who can claim to havo seen the same marvellous sight will before long follow these lordly inhabitants of the wilds to the happy hunting grounds, the tudy of the past history of these two species lias for some people unusual attractions. And not the least interesting phase of it Is the col lecting of pictures made at a time when both "beasts were still roaming over the "wastes of the earth," or had but recently disappeared. Of the earliest of all pictures of what was prob ably meant to be the bison, an interesting arti cle which recently appeared in an illustrated week ly, in which the roof pictures in the Altamira Cave were reproduced, gave one a capital idea. After a gap of untold centuries we reach the various pictorial records left to us by the chis els, gravers or brushes of the classic ages. Among those who have made important discov eries respecting the distribution of the aurochs. Professor Conrad Keller, the well-known Zurich zoologist, occupies a prominent place. His dis coveries In the ruins of the ancient palace of King Minos In Crete of no fewer than sixteen "horn-cores and one skull of what unquestionably was the original wild ox of Europe, or aurochs, show that it lived there at one period, and that the famous legend of the minotaur has a sub stratum of truth. From his pages we borrow an Illustration of an important fresco In Knossos de picting an aurochs in the act of impaling a helpless-looking victim, while a bold bull-fighter Is actually turning a somersault over the back of the beast, a third, possibly female, looker-on at tempting to seize the bull's tall, the scene being probably enacted In an arena. It is possible that tho Theseus story came from the slaughter of captives in such exhibitions. Several other pic tures have been recently discovered which be long to the Minos period, 1. e., between 2000 and 1500 B. C. Professor Keller's highly instructive writings contain many other illustrations of Bo3 primifenius. Skipping tens of centuries, wo reach tho Bcs tlaries, the most ancient of which originated in the period we touched at the outset when speak ing of Charlemagne's aurochs-hunt. These ex ceedingly primitive pictorial records do not add much to our information; "the choice hurts one." as Germans describe that stato of uncertainty in regard to what the monastic artists meant to represent by their crude attempts. Skipping a few more centuries, we at last reach, in the be ginning of tho fifteenth century, fairly intelligent accounts of the animal's habitat, and are fur nished with drawings presenting features suffi ciently distinct to indicate, even to eyes accus tomed to photographic accuracy, the identity of the animal the picture means to represent. Very curious Is the circumstance, to which, by the way, nobody has so far drawn attention, that none of the French sporting books of tho fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, such as "Roy Modus." "Gaiton Phoebus," "Oace de la Buigne" and "T'ontaines-Guerin," mentions cither the ni& aurochs or the bison by so much as a word. As the authors of these classics were great sports men and close observers, this would support the theory that both these animals had already then become quite extinct In western Europe. In the sixteenth century, when Europe, so far as art was concerned, had at last been aroused from its mediaeval stupor by the invention of printing, and an extraordinary demand had sprung up for pictorial matter illustrating re cent exploration of new worlds and the various forms of the chase, there were produced quite a number of pictures of tho aurochs by artists, very few of whom had ever set eyes upon a live wild specimen, though they may have seen cap tive ones. The one artist of whom we positively know that he had before him at least a stuffed specimen was the Viennese engraver Augustin Hirschvogel (born in Nurnberg about 1503), who Illustrated the famous gravel book of Haron Her bersteln, the authority most frequently quoted in connection with the aurochs, for he was absolute ly the last Intelligent observer who saw the beast in its wild state, and left pictorial records of his impressions. Herbersteln was gifted with pres cient eyes, for he foresaw that the aurochs was doomed to speedy extinction. Hence on his sev eral expeditions to the unknown interior of Rus sia as the ambassador, first of Emperor Maxi milian in 1516-18, then on many different occa sions as Charles V.'s and Ferdinand's emissary, he made notes about it, and, what was much more important, actually brought back with him some skins and skulls, which he had mounted in his house in Vienna, and from which Hirschvogel probably drew his celebrated picture of tho aurochs. To differentiate he drew next to it a picture of a bison. As these two "portraits," which have been published scores of times, will be familiar to all interested in this matter, we will merely quote the inscriptions placed by Her bersteln over the two pictures, for it Is a per fectly correct differentiation. The picture of the bison has the following: "I am a Rison. am called by the Poles a Suber, by the Germans a Rlsont or Damthier, and by the Ignorant an aurochs." Over the woodcut of the aurochs: "I am an Urus which is called by the Poles a Tur, by the Germans an Aurochs and until now by the Ignorant a Rlson." The inscriptions in the various editions Herberstein's volume appeared in several languages vary trlfllngly, but tho above, which are taken from the edition of 1550. give the sense in the best form. Shortly after Herbersteln the Flemish painter Stradanus. who II vi and worked for over fifty years In Florence (from 155.1 to 1003), produced a drawing of an aurochs engaged In a terrific struggle in an arena where he was matrhed against a lion, two wolves and a bear. This original drawing is not the least interesting of the twenty odd ancient pictures of the aurochs in the writer's collection . In 1578 the Antwerp publisher Philip Galle published this and one hundred and three other sporting drawings by the Florentine master, and underneath each of the engravings there It a Latin Inscription. The one under the plate reproducing the drawlnc juns: "Some great lords are looking on at a spec tacle in the arena. A furious Hon with revening fang and claws tears some wild beasts. He lays tho wolves low and defeats the 'Taurus' in a strug gle, while the bear cowers away in terror." Wheth er the artist ever witnessd such a struggle in an arena cannot bo ascertained; but It is quite possi ble, considering their great popularity during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Tho blasts were caught in pitfalls and I transported great distances. The likeness is not a bad one, and in the above col lection of prints there are three other pictures of aurochs, and a fifth depict ing the lassoing of tho bu balus on the island of Sar dinia. A contemporary and countryman of Stradanus, one Hans Rol. produced al3o an interesting engrav ing of an aurochs hunt which forms the second print of his attractive little set entitled. "Venationls, Piscationls. et Aucupil typi," published in 15S2 by the same enterprising Ant werp publishers that gave the world the last-named collection. Reneath the au rochs picture we read, in Latin elegiac couplets: "Thus with darts, swords, and light arrows men every where drive the horned nnrnrhs Into nits." A rath er similar print was produced fourteen years after bmy the Niimberg engraver, Johann Sib machcr, who etched nine other sporting plates. Then follow, in rapid succession, half a dozen "portraits" by Tempesta. the pupil of Stradanus, one of wKIch prints wo reproduce. It shows In what awe the gigantic wild bull was held, for it depicts a formidable-looking machine wherewith the bull could be attacked and brought down. Tempesta's pictures need not be taken seriously, for his Roman "studio" was nothing but a work shop where apprentice hands turned out a vast mass of prints of little or no value In an enquiry of this sort. Ills English contemporary of the pen, Edward Topsell, in his illustrated natural history hodge-podge called the "Hlstorle of Foure Footed Reastes" (1607) only added to the exist ing confusion. "A Rison," ho says, "is a beast very strange as may appear by his figure pre fixed which by many authors Is taker; for Urus, some for a Rugle or wild oxe, others, for a Rangifer, and many for tho beast Tarantus or Ruffe." And, to show that he really meant what he said, he affixes a picture of what is unmistak ably a reindeer! Fortunately, however, he adds, as pictures of the bison and of the aurochs, re plicas of the two prints by Hirschvogel out of Herberstein's "Rerum Moscovltlcarum Commen tarii," which, as we have already mentioned, are among the most correct representations pub lished at a period when the aurochs still existed. In England, the belif that th aurochs was a bison-like creature continued throughout the eighteenth century. The picture taken from Sam uel Clarke's "Julius Caesar," published in 1712, shows what extraordinary ignorance still pre vailed, the animal with antlers like an inverted umbrella being a bison, or Ros germanus, and the beast in the center an aurochs. The graver of Holzab of Zurich, continues the misconcep tion; indeed, goes one better, for the bison is here turned into an "American aurochs." Of numerous other illustrations of our two beasts, we have not the space to speak at length. One of the most characteristic of the latter type Is the so-called Hamilton Smith picture of the au rochs. This is a painting, dating, it is believed, from the first quarter of the sixteenth century, discovered in Augsburg not quite a hundred yea'rs ago. This painting has mysteriously dis appeared, but an accurate copy was made. For the first "modern" picture of the bison that ap peared in England we have also to go to Ger man sources, and. strangely enough, to the same city, for it was Augsburg's most famous animal painter, Rldinger (1637-1767), who drew the first life-like picture. A countryman of his, one J. S. Muller, who lived many years In London, engrav ed, in 1758. a fine set of plates representing wild animals after Rldlnger's drawings from nature. Among thera Is one of the bison, called by him the buffalo, and underneath is a lengthy and fairly correct description In English, which he also copied from Rldinger. Rut this and other isolated efforts have not entirely prevented the dissemination of the old mistake, for living au thorities still tell us, quite seriously, that thej have grassed aurochs. MISSISSIPPI ON RAMPAGE Hundreds of Families Are Seeking Safety in Memphis, Tenn. Tho Mississippi river i3 now over its banks at all points between Cairo and Helena, Ark., flooding farm lands not protected by levees. Hundreds of families have left their homes, seek ing safety in Memphis or towns on tho blufTa. Certain parts of the manufacturing sections of North and South Memphis are under water and mills have closed down. Unleaa the river gets to the 40 foot stage there is no danger to prop erty back of the levees. Maj. E. M. Markham, United States engineer, has rushed laborers and supplies to Reu lau, Miss., where there is a place in fhe levee Btill unrepaired since the last flood. If caught in its present state thousands of acres will be over flowed. A crevasse occurred at Reulah in April. 1M2. Practically all tho business section of Hickman, Ky., 13 from one to four feet under water. All railroad traffic into the town has been suspended. Tiptonville, Tenn., is surrounded by water, but the town is situated on a small bluff and no immediate danger ia anticipated. A terrific current is sweeping ihrough Hen aud Chicken channel above Memphis which engineers of the government think will create a new channel, throwing the Mississippi back into a course abandoned 20 years ago. The report of the state forester shows that the state now has on hand upward of 3,000,000 forest trees from two to eight years old that have been nurtured in the state nurseries and are for sale at prices varying from $2 per 1,000 up to $6.

SELLERS, Director of Eve ning Department The Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) " LESSON FOR JANUARY 26. CAIN AND ADEL. LESSON TEXT-Cenesls 4:1-15. GOLDEN TEXT "Whosoever hateth his brother Is a murderer." I John 3:15. In due process of time and in obedience to God'a command (Gen. 1:28), Eve bore Adam two sons, each a very different typo of manhood. Mothers ought to ponder upon tho words of Eve, "I have gotten a man with the help of Jehovah." Parents should realize that it is God who sends them their children, e. g.f by his help, and it is to him they must give account for their nurture and up bringing. Upon reaching manhood one, Abel, became a shepherd, and the other, Cain, became a farmer. Tho difference in their characters, not their occupations, is illustrated by tho sac rifices they brought to offer unto God. Although it is not recorded, it is highly probablo that God had com manded that thero ohquld be an offer ing of blood. Sin had entered tho world and wo are told in Hebrews 9:22 and 10:19, 30, that only by tho shedding of blood Is there any re mission of Bin. The blood atonement may be repugnant to some superficial thinkers, but It is not In the sight of God. It is God's way. It can be traced In tho early traditions of nearly every religion. Cain's Offering. The fundamental fault was really In Cain and not in his offering. Had Cain's heart been right he would have made a proper sacrifice that would have been acceptable in God's sight, I. John 3: 12. We are told that Abel's offering was of faith, Heb. 11:4, and hence it was a more excellent sacri fice than that of Cain, for "without faith it is Impossible to please God." Tho firstling of tho flock, the lamb, was a type of that true sacrifice of fered before the foundations of the world, John 1:29. There is another fundamental difference between these two offerings. Cain's offering repre sented the labor of his own hands and was much more pleasing to the eyes than that of Abel. God's disrespect for Cain'a offering was due to sin, vv. C. "Sin crouch eth at the door." Hero sin is pictur ed as a wild beast lying at the door and ready to spring upon him who first gives entrance. God dealt in mercy with Cain, even though he did not accept of hi3 offering, but Cain did not conquer tho sin crouching at his door and therefore the terrible denouement. From the marginal reading (It. V.) of verso eight and also from tho Scp tuagint wo gather that Cain invei gled Abel into the country, having de liberately planned to wreak his ven geance upon him, it being impossible to do so in the place where the sac rfice had been offered. Cain's anger, not only against God, but against his brother whom God had accepted, is evidenced today by the way the world hates those whom God accepts, John 15:19. Cain slew Abel because his own works had been evil and those of his brother righteous. The Old, Old Question. God gave Cain an opportunity to confess his sin (v. 9). Seo I. John 11:9. As passion subsided Cain "saw," and "heard." even though he lied while trying to escape a just punishment. God's startling question has been ringing down through these ages, "Where is thy brother?" Broth ers are being wronged, oppressed, cheated, and defraudod. Brothers are being lost for whom Christ died. In dustrial oppression, "man's inhumani ty to man," and the "blood of right eous Abel," shall bo, is being, and has been required of the nation, the age, yea tho individual. Cain saw his lie was detected and bo tried to excuse himself. Millions have repeated his weak excuse, "Am I my brother's keeper?" And God has thundered back the reply, "Yes." We aro debtors to all. The penitence of Cain was not over his guilt, but rather over the degree of his punishment, vv. 13, 14. Murder always demands vengeance. Note, however, the marginal reading, "mine iniquity is greater than can be for given." Thank God wo havo a media tor of a better covenant, Heb. 12:24. Cain made a mistake in assuming that God could be localized in one place and that ho who must become a wan derer in the land, "tho first colonist," would of necessity be separated from God's protecting care. There was the added fear of himself being slain; "how doth conscience make cowards of us all." Wo therefore seo in this lession, I., The Sons, vv. 1, 2; II., The Sacrifice, vv. 3. 1't III., tho Slain Brother, vv. 8-10; IV., The Sentence, vv. 11-15. For tho younger pupils emphasize Jealousy and its developments. The fact that we are keepers of our broth ers as wo deal with the sins of tho day. The missionary appeal can well be emphasized fn connection with this lesson. The development of habits from the seed thought comes logically (n this connection. But be sure to emphasise the mercy of God and sal vation through the Blood of the Lamb, our Lord Jesus Christ. FARMER'S WIFE ALMOST ABIES 4 Restored to Health by Lydia E.
