A LONDON WATERS TRIcK.--A
friend Of mine who has been going
the rounds of the London restaurants,
and writing on that detestable class
--waiters--says he met in the city a
calculating waiter" My friend had
partakcn of a modest luncheon, and,
on demanding what was to pay, the
waiter reckoned thus: "Pay, sir-yes,
sir. Meat, 10d., sir; bread, 3D.; po-
.atoes, 3D.; caulidower, 3d.--ls. 1Od. /;
glass Of sherry, sir, 2s. 3d.; celery,

papa, grasping Browns hand; "and

Brown made the money fly at such a
rate that when his wife's miIlcner's

THESMALLEsr Book IN THE WoRID !,
The smallest book ever printed since
type was first invented is micro .
scopic edition of Dante's "Divine
Commedia," which was on view last
year At the Paris exhibition. The
whole volume Of 500 pages is only
five ccntimetres long by three and !;
one half centimetrcs wide. Two
sheets Of paper snfflced TO contain
all the 1898 verses of the poem, 80
verses occupying = space of some
what less than eight square cent?
metres. The type with which this
curiosity was printed was cast as
long ago as 1884, but no complete
book had hitherto been turned out
in it, the difficulties for compositor !
and reyisor being 80 enormous That's
the attempts were given up time az.
ter time, no one being able to CON-
tinuc the work. In. 1873 q fresh at.
tempt was made to aset up the
'Commedia" and some notion of the
difficulty experienced may be gath
cred from the fact 9hat the work &C.
cupied no less than five years in it's.

AN OLD BIBLE.
THE OLDEST cory OF THE SCRIPTURES
PROBABLY IN EXISTENCE.

II was in 1880 that I met in Mo
hilc, Alabama, the owner Of this
book-Dr. j. r. Witherspoon, grand
son of President WitIlerspoon, one
of the signers of the Declaration Of
Independence. The doctor was an
educated gentleman and urged il ]
ever camc in the region OF Green's
b"ro, Alabama, t. he sure to rall on
him aud he would show me his won
derrul Bible. l was not slow to &C
cep: his invitation, and rode on
horseback some dozen miles out of
my way to see the greatest wonde,
If the age Of this kind of book.
found the venerable doctor living
elegantly on broad acres and with
the slaves about him, for he did not
seem t" think there was anything in
hin Bible against slavery, though his
grandfather signed the declaration
that "all men arc created equal"
The book was soon brought out
from careful keeping, and sure
enoogh, though / had seen for years
the great Van Ess library, with Bi
hles having chain attached that
once held them to d pulpit, and the
Bible of Philip Melancthon with his
autograph, I had never seen any
such Bible as this.
l took it in my hand with ave, for
it was written in the days Of King
Alfred, and by monk of Cornwall,
England, who worked at it forty
years-almost q lifetime-and was
evidently on the very dnest of
parchment, little inferior to satin.
How such finish could be put upon
the skin of any beast in the days SO
long ago, when the binding OF the
book was in oak boards, tied With
buckskin thongs, was mystery and
almost q contradiction.
But more wonderful yet was the
writing within. The pages were all
ruled with great accuracy and writ
ten as uniformly in the lines as
print, which was not then invented,
for some 500 years lay between that
old monk and Faust aud Gutenberg.
The style was German text-hand,
and was an Authorization from the
vulgate of Jerome, made in the
fourth century.
The first chapter Of every book
was written with large capitol, Of
inimitable beauty and splendidly H.
Illuminated with red, blue and black
ink, still in vivid letters, with no
two of the capitals precisely alike.
Here was indeed Dore before him
Of our age. Each chapter is divided
into verses by a dot of red ink,
though I do not remember when "the
venerable Bede" made his division
Of Scripture into chapters and verses.
This dot of the Bible I speak of may
have been the work Of q subsequent
age.
As to the size Of the book, it was
about that of an old Ainsworth die.
tionary-the kind that was mistaken
for a Bible once by a family in Ala

of a colporteur who wished to see
their Bible! This manuscript Bible
