Bible Readlng.

The Oharcbman publishes the follow
ing article:
An experiment which has justified
itself has been quietly tried at Harvard
for four or five years. There have been
evening readings, open alike to under
graduates and townspeople without
charge, at which Professors and other
instructors in the University have read
the masterpieces of ancient and modern
literature. The readings from Greek,
Latin and Italian have been into En-
glish, the reader giving his renderings
with such preparation as he might
choose, but with all the effect Of trans
lation made on the spur of the moment.
The readings from French and German
literature have been, we think, in the
original in most cases. No comment
is introduced, except that now and
then the reader stops to throw out a
single word of explanation, like a foot
note to the printed pages. BY this
means one is enabled to hear Homer.
the Greek dramatists, Virgil, Dante,
CerVantes, Shakespeare and other mast
ers read intelligibly by scholars most at
home in the art and thought Of these
men. The tricks of the reader are dis
regarded, the whole aim being to give
such Interpretation as an educated man
could give through an extemporaneous
translation. The interest which has
been taken in the readings has been an
honest and genuine one. We wish it
were possible that such wholesome
pleasure could be had in our great cit
les. The familiarity with the work of
the great, and not with the mere names
of great men s work, would be greatly
increased. But we have called attention
to this simple and quiet means of cult
ure because of its suggestion of kind
red work. Why should there not be
readings from the Bible upon the same
general planP With all our detailed

"A quart of the finest flour mixed
smoothly with water, making a paste
just thin enough to run, is said to be a
sure cure for "scours" in cattle. It is
to be administered in one dose. A sec

necessary.
Bleeding at the nose, it is said,
may be stopped by q vigorous motion
OF the jaws, as if in the act Of mastica-
ton. In the case of a small child, give
it something to chew on, and tell it to
chew hard. This simple remedy has
never been known to fail, even in very
severe cases.
Lemon Pie.-Take one lemon,
grated, sliced thin, pips removed, and
boil it ten minutes in cupful of water
in closely covered basin. If any of
the water disappears by evaporation,
replace it, as a full cupful is desired.
Turn this into the ready lined plate,
and add cupful of sugar and table

must be allowed to say that we do
not favor the idea that they should
all come to Topeka before seeing

States hold out rs great inducements

Another and prominent leason
why we favor the exodus is because
