1t will be seen that there is an ample
field for work such as has been under

But besides the verbal changes which

A Baokwoods Theater Story.

yankee" Uill,a famous actor in the
first half OF the present century, used TO
tell an amusing story which Mr.. j. b.
Matthews retells in his article on "Thc
American on the Stage" in ScriJHH's for
Julv) of the early days OF the theater in
this country. Hill once Showed" TO
use professional phrase, ina town in
the western part OF New York where
no theatrical performance had ever been
given. He found the audience assem-
bled, with the women seated on one side
OF the hall, the men on the other, exact
w rs they were used TO sit ut church
and throughout the play the most
solemn silence was observed. They
were attentive, but they gave no evil
dencc of approval or displCasurc; there
was no applause, no laughter; there was
not even a smile; al was stiffness. Hill
did his utmost to break the ice; he did
everything a clever comedian could 10,
but in vain. He flung himself against
their rigidity; ii was no use. The au-
dience was evidently on its best bcha-
viOr, and the curtain cameo down at last
amid a silence oppressive and almost
melancholy. After the play, Hill, worn
out by his extra exertion and mortified
az his want of success, was passing
through a public room ofhishotcl, when
he was stopped by a tall cOun,ryman
with the remark;
SAY, mister l was into the play to-
night"
"Were YOU" said Hill, "you must
have been greatly entertained
"Well, was! / tell you what it is
now, my mouth was all restraining to
keep my face straight. And ii it hadn't
been for the women, pda-laughed right
ont i'm meetin."

WE are glad to learn that the wheat
crop of Marion county will be a good
one instead Of 4 failure, rs was for q
long time anticipated. Many farmers
have expressed the opinion that the
present growing crop when garnered
will exceed that Of last year in regard TO
the Weld per acre. While the straw is
much lighter, the heads are heavier and
the grains plumpcr and more solid.
Altogether, prospects are not 50 gloomy,

Crop is very bright and promising.
Us Tuesday we noticed several fields
of corn near GAINESVILLE which were i'm
fine condition, and If that in all parts Of
Belmont county is as good, there will
surely be a good crop. Perhaps these
stands were exceptional, however.

A NEW BIBLE.

IL is not generally known that we are
soon TO have a new Bible. The old
material is being worked up into more
ineligible, reliable and readable shape.
II is in the hands OF what is known Us
the Anglo-American Committee of Re
vision. The body is understood to be
made up of the best hnguists in the
world, who are carefully reviewing the
different TRANSACTIONS and the original
text, and rendering into our language
with an accuracy that cannot be misun-
derstOOd.
The necessity Of a revision and adap-
tation Of the present edition Of the
Bible to the changes and growth Of our
language is very much felt by Bible
students, and the adoption OF the re-
yised edition, while likely to meet with
great opposition, will in time, no doubt,
entirely superSede the old one.
The history of the present transla-
ton is quite well known. In 1904,
King JANIS the First, for once turned
his pedautic inclination to good account
by appointing fity-tour learned men to
make the new translation which was
published in 1911. When it first came
from the press there were two otherver-
sious in general uSe-the Bishops Bible,
which was found in all the churches,
and the Genevan, which was in favor in
the households of the middle classes;
but the King James Bible, by the simple
force of its own excellence, soon took
the place of both the others. and it has
remained practically the one English
Bible in common use for more than two
hundred and fifty years. Much OF the
material of the former TRANSACTIONS was
used in this one.
In the years that have passed since
l6ll many words and expressions have
lost the meaning which they then had,
and so some passages in the Bible, as
they now stand, convey either 4 wrong
impression or none at all. OF this kind
is the phrase "by and by in the pass
age, "Give me by and by in charger
the head Of JOHN the Baptist ~ which,
in the seventeenth century, meant
forthwith" but which, in the nine
tenth, means at time somewhat dis
tant. In like manner, artillery Il. SAM.

TRUE MARRIAGE.
The Charms of a Pleasant Life
Long COmpanionShip.

From the sunday Afternoon for July.
Our advanced theories of divorce and
free-iove. making the matrimonial rel la
ton merely partnership to be dlssoly-
cd mt pleasure, whatever else may be
said i'm their favor, strike deadly blow
at an element i'll il which was meant
perhaps to be supreme above all others.
What is the sweetest charm OF all true
marriage, what the greatest advantage,
what the most priceless happiness, take
life through, which it brings TO the hui
man heart? Not the flush and splen-
dor of its early love; not the richer de
yelOpment which il brings TO the char
acter: not even the children who are
gathered around its shrine. No, butthe
intimacy and reliability of its cOmpan-
ionship; the fact that it gives those who
enter i'm it, each i'm the other and
through all scenes and changes, near
and blessed standby. Marriage IN
some of its aspects is doubtless the
source of an immense amount OF unhap-
piness, crime, injustice, blight and
down-draggiug, one Of the most perplex-
ing institutions society has to deal with
only the blindest sentimentalist will
deny that. On the other hand, how
overland this is not mere sentiment,
but sober fact-of all the evidences OF
Gods goodness 10 be found in this low
err world, all the proofs that he cares for
us not only with the wisdom of Crea-
tor, but with the interest and love OF 4
father, there is none quite equal to his
sending human beings into the arena,
of life, not To fight its battles, win its
victories and endure its sorrows alone
but giving them, as they 90 forth out
of their childhoods home, relation in
which each two Of them are bound to-
gether with the closest of all ties, live
together under the same roof, have their
labOrs, their property, their interests,
their parental affections all in common,
and are moved to stand by each other,
hand to hand, heart TO heart, in every
sorrow, misfortune, trial and stormy
day that earth can bring. 1t is an ideal,
if not always realized in full, which is
tasted even now, amid all that is said
about marriage miscnes, more widely
perhaps than any other happiness.

y NEW STYLE OF DRESS.
To the Editor Of the Ncao York Graphic: I
wish to introduce to your notice new style Of
dress invented partly and used bv i young lady
in this city. She is anxious that others OF her
Sex should adopt it. 1t facilitates locomotion
and quickness in dressing. She didn't like to
write about it herself, and asked me to do so
for her. She has shown me the entire dress
and explained its working and wearing. 1t con-.
sists Of three pieces. mean three separate
garments worn one over the other. She dresses
III three pieces. mean that she has on three
pieces when she is fully dressed. The first, or
inside piece, is made OF linen. It goes on sotnc-
Que piece, only it is not quite SO long. The sec
ond consists OF an inside sort of-that is to say
"a sort ut woolen skirt which reaches up to the
shoulders. The third, last, and outside, is a
sort OF drcssipg-gowD, which looks very
much like dress, and buttons all the
way down in front. She says she
can dress with these in oue-thjr1 the
time required by the old style. Then she
showed me how many separate pieces she used
said she used to feel US if bundled up in lot OF
rags There were SO many that nights they
made heap on the floor two feet in hight. She
says, too, that many women hive no pride in
the appearance and quality Of their undercloth-
ing, and there is no knowing from outside ap-
pearanccs what old bcd-quilts silk dress may
cover. I think women do need some sort OF
dress they can get around In. Now half a Wom-
aus strength is USED up in carrying :clothcs. l
think this invention should Dc male known to
tho world. and have molestly done the best /
could III describing it. 1t is not III easy subject
for young writer to handle.

The produce OF the I}ss Pdragnayensis, mate, or
Paraguay tea, has oftcn been suggested as
substitute for the more orthodox infusion Of the
leaves Of the tea, or tea plant, but this would
stand no chance in competition with the new
candidate for public favor. Paris, it is said, has
just awoke to the virtues Of ia new kind Of
tear called Serkys tea, 81 which has the virtues

youth up to the ripest age" it is composed 81
exqusitely refreshing and balsa1nc plants 1.-THE
leaves Of the plants are probably intended
stgrowing on the foot of the mountains OF Mecca

antiquity greater than that OF the modern tea,
whuse name it bOrrows. 1t is said to have been
discovered in The time OF Osman J., who intro
ever since remained the fayorite beverage OF the
Sultans. In outward application its effects are
marvellous as when taken internally, and the
leaves stewcd down after infusion, If thrown
into the bath, will contribute to preserve the
freshness oI the complexion in manner which
Alme. Rachcrs preparations could not equal.
Serkys, whatever it may be, will no doubt be-

are told, deyoutly believed in. There is only
one little difficulty in the matter, aud that is
