vice, but as to the apostolic writings the
canon had not been finally determined
even OF that time. and it was not until
the third council of Carthage, in the
year 397-which was not one Of the
great councils-that the last of the
books of the New Testament as we now
have it, reduced to the generally-ac-
cepted writings of the Apostles them
selves, was first set forth complete by
what may be called official authority.
This was the period of st. Jerome, one
of the greatest Biblical scholars of that
or any time, who, partly by original
translation and partly by revision and
comparison of the various partial trans
lations already existing-for by this
time portions of the scriptures had been
rendered into many tongues-made up
that great Latin version of the whole
Bible, the Vulgate, which became to
the middle ages what the Septuagint
has been to the Jews and the early
Christians, and which has been the
basis of all the early TRANSACTIONS into
modern languages. The English di-
vines of 1911, who relied mainly ION the
Septuagint for the Interpretation of the
Hebrew Scriptures, made use of such
Greek texts Of the New Testament as
we're accessible to them, but still they
were helped greatly by the vulgate.
The considerable number Of the early
manuscripts that have since been
brought to light have much enlarged
the opportunities of modern scholar
ship to reach the exact meaning, if not
the exact original text, OF the apostolic
writings yet the result of the recent
revision shows that, whatever verbal in
accuracies may have been introduced by
successive generations of copylsts, the
Christian church has preserved and
transmitted the body of the New Tesla
ment Scriptures through all these GEN.
turies with marvellous fidelity.

KumySs for DySDeptiCs.

1t seems strange that there are so
many persons who say that they cannot
drink milk without suffering from de-
rangement Of the digestive organs in con-
sequence, although it is generally sup
posed that milk is the most perfect food
known. II is fact, however, that in
some cases milk is not we'll tolerated by
the system-it seems to undergo imme-
date coagulation in the stomach, and to
form there heavy, indigestible mass.
For this reason kind of milk-wine,
made by the fermentation of milk after
the addition of small quantity of sugar,
has been found very valuable in the
treatment of some forms of dyspepsia
and OF nervous exhaustion. This pre-
paration is known as "kumyss," and it's
nutritive value should be more widely
known. As ordinarily sold it is quite
an expensive article Of diet, but it can
easily be prepared at home by the fol-
lowing process, which furnishes an
excellent product: Procure some strong
bottles, preferably such as have the
patent rubber corks and wires for retain
ing the contents under pressure-the
quart bottles in which root beer is sold
are excellent for the purpose. About
six quarts should be prepared OF one
time. To each quart of fresh milk add
an ounce of sugar and q piece of COM
pressed yeast about the size Of a pea.
The bottles should be nearly filled with
the mixture, and allowed to stand, un-
corked. until the fermentation is well
established, which will be the case in
eighteen to twenty-four hours under
favorable conditions. They should then
be corked and placed in the cellar for
week or two, when the product is
ready for use. The fermentation de-
yelops a small quantity OF alcohol, but
the peculiarly Of the kumyss is that the
caseine, instead Of being coagulated in
large Jumps, more or less difficult to
digest, is separated in very finely divided
condition, so that it can be readily
assimilated by the weakest stomach. A
similar preparation, made from mares
milk by the Tartars, has long been
justly celebrated for its nutritive quail
ties, and it has been of much value
in cases Of consumption. Cows milk,
however, affords an excellent substitute.
Those who desire a milk diet, and who
cannot use the article in the ordinary
way, would do well to adopt the sugges-
tions of DR.. J. d. TrasE, who states
that warm milk cain be taken without
discomfort, when cold milk cannot be
borne. He thinks we should regard
milk more as an article of food than as
beverage. The saliva plays an impor-
tant role in the process OF digestion
but bread and milk eaten together are
often swallowed before the saliva comes
into use, and consequently the bread is
not easily digested. Persons with weak
stomachs should, therefore, eat the
bread separately, and thoroughly mix it
with the fLids Of the mouth. Probably
many persons who think they cannot use
milk would find it valuable food if
taken at temperature slightly above
100 degrees Fahrenheit. Experience
has already proved this to be the fact in
some cases, and the experiment is worthy
of q trial.-Ne,U York Times.

Timber Planting.

To make timber plentiful and torendeT
our climate more genial we must reelothe
all rugged, broken land and rocky crests.
in fact, every acre that Is not cultivated
or Is cultivated at loss, with valuable
forest trees.
First-AI ravines and steep hill-sides,
all land too rocky 10 be thoroughly
cleared of stone and plowed, should be
devoted to trees.
Second Protecting belts of timber
should be planted wherever buildings,
orchards, gardens, ETC., are exposed to
cold, sweeping winds.
Third-The banks of streams, ponds.
open bitches, etc, should be so planted
with trees that they will be protected
from abrasion by floods and rapid cur
rents.
Fourth-An public roads should be
belted by graceful, stately trees.
We should preserve, improve and
extend our existing forests by keeping
up a constant succession of young grow
ing trees of the best varieties. To do
this it Is necessary:
First-TO allow no stock to run in
wood lots for the purpose of forage. This
should be rule inhexible and relent-
ness.
Second : Young growth IN forests
should be thinned moderately and Judi
ciously. Worthless varieties should be
cut out and the valuable sorts should be
trimmed mp so that they will grow tall,
forming trunk rather than branches.
Third Timber should be cut with
Intelligent reference to future growth.
Valuable trees that You wish to propa-
gate should be cut In the spring. Those
that you wish to exterminate should be
cut in August -Professor Laze,e6y.

Lotteries in italy.

An employee of the italian Lotto adj
mlnlstration has published an interest
ing pamphlet respecting the lotto play
ing In Italy, to which rich and poor,
learned and unlearned, are addicted with
equal passion, and which contributes a
considerable to the Government revenue.
Not counting the Island of Sardinia, the
lottery In 1879 brought no less than
81, 513, 1853 lire into the treasury. The
total amount of prizes was 81, GA, 126
lire. The sixty-seven chief provincial
towns, with 629 lottery offices and a
population of 4,019, $50 inhabitants,
caused the enormous sum of 49,
OBJ, 814 lire to flow into the treasury.
The rural districts, with ], 102 offices
and %, 145, 074 inhabitants, contributed
"a, 451, 454 lire; IN other words, the pop
uIation of the chief provincial towns pad
voluntary tax of 10 lire II centesiml
per capita, that of the rural districts only
! lire II centesimi, making an average
of 2 lire 58 centesimi for every italian
subject of either sex. The BasilIcuta,
the two Calabrias, the AbruzZes, Noise,
the Marks and Umbria, containing the
smallest number of persons unable to
read or write, furnish also the smallest
amount IN lOttO-moneys as well as IN
direct and indirect taxes. The provinces
with the greatest number of persons not
able to read and write, and a population
of 10, 533, S84 souls, spent q $50, sos lire
for lottery playing, j. e., 2.05 lire per

Our Knowledge of Shaksneare.

1t is the man Shakespeare who really
influences US in reading " Hamlet and
"Othello," and not the less because
critics generally repeat the assertion that
weknow very little of the man who retires
so carefully behind his characters. We
have, 1t is true, next to nothing of the
kind of information about Shakespeare
which Boswell gave us about johnson.
But surely we know a good deal about a
man if we know only this-that he is
capable of sympathiZing impartially with
vast variety of characters, and in some
very important respects it seems to me
that We know more of Shakespeare than
of Johnson. If we know less of his do
nestle relations and his taste in cookery,
we know what he felt and thought about
some of the most profoundly interesting
of all the problems of life. But, wheth-
er we have or have not framed any the
ory as to Shakspeare's personality, or
have or have not constructed theory of
the man from his books, it is not the
less the man who really influences us.
For what really impresses US In Shaks-
peare, or in any great writer, is the ex-
traordinary force and yividness with
which he has embodied certain general
truths and deep emotions, and his power
of achieving that feat clearly depended
upon his own emotional and intellectual
temperament. The nature of the inhu-
ences is not the less clear that it acts as
from behind cloud.

Funny.

One is very fortunate if he has wit
enough to get out of funny dilemma
without being laughed at The poor
Teutonic musician of whom the follow
ing story is told by Southern doctor of
divinity was not one of these fortunate
ones.
The doctor was pastor of fine CITY
church. The organ loft and choir gal
lery were Immediately in the rear of the
pulpit, and q little elevated above il.
The organist wasa German, who, though
"A fine performer, was not remarkable
for presence of mind, and was easily
disconnected.
The hour for afternoon service had ar
rived, and, though the organist was in
his place, the choir had not arrived. By
some mishap, also, the key of the organ
had been misplaced.
The minister, not knowing these
facts, solemnly arose, and, after an
nouncing hymn and reading it, took
his seat. There was no response from
the organ or choir. Silence reigned SUI
preme.
The minister and congregation became
uneasy. All eyes were turned to the
organ-loft.
At length the organist, with a fidgety
manner ana very red face, came to
the railing in front of the loft, and in a
tone intended as whisper, but which
was distinctly heard by all, made the
following startling announcement
Mister breecher, mister breecher,
We von't have no singing dis afternoon.
De key not coomed, and de lady vat
sings de sobrano bees not coombed, and
de rest of de people vat sings be- not
coomed, and de organ bees not obened,
and We Won't have no singing dis after
noon, mister breecher, OATS So" The
effect may be readily imagined.

American Sugar.

The time Is approaching very evident
" when the manufacture of sugar in this
republic will reach a sufficient magnitude
to supply the whole country. Our terri
tory Is so extensive and the temperature
so varied that there Is scarcely anything
consumed by man that 1t Will not fur
nish, when the intricacies of the art of
producing it is once sufficiently well I'M
derstood. We do not say that the sugar
supply will come from beets, though to
some extent, and a very large extent, 1t
may, and we hope viii. But more like
1t will be the product of sorghum and
the amber cane, which would seem to be
less costly in the way Of labor. Sugar
from beets can undoubtedly be made OF
as excellent quality as any produced
from any other material, but We fear not
so cheaply Labor Is the great draw
back; this being so much more econon-
ically supplied IN France and Germany
than in the United States, readily nc
counts for the success of beet-sugar
making there; and it seems that it VIII
always continue to be so, at least so
long as this discrepancy III the price of
labor exists. Should we be able, how
ever, to counterbalance this by increased
product OF the beet per acre, or by i'm
proved machinery, or from any other
cause not now developed, the aspect of
things may be changed. The factory in
Delaware IS experimenting perhaps more
tnan any other that has
been established IN this country, and the
prospect is more encouraging than any
other. Should it be finally successful
1t Will of course lead the way to the
establishment OF others, and hence sup

The English View of If.

least satisfactory features of Irish emf
grafton that the emigrants are never able
to forget the land of their birth. Erin
may have been to them, as undoubtedly
it often has been, the harshest of step
mothers, but nevertheless they are, and
remain living instances of the truth of
the old line in which the Latin poet
says that ''they who traverse the sea
change their atmosphere, but not their
dispositions" The Irishman who is
transferred to the United States con-
tinues too often to breathe threatenings
and slaughteragainst the brutal Saxon, "
who, in his belief. has converted his dear
native isle from a paradise into a hell
upon earth. No amount of prosperity
and comfort accruing to him in the New
World will induce him to regard himself

set the United States and Great Britain
at loggerheads with each other.-LOa-
