The existing codars OF Lebanon are

At wedding in Frederick, Md, n
little dog that was exceedingly ugly but
had been the pet of the bride, and who
was supposed to be safely locked up at
home, marched up the aisle OF the
church just as the minister was about to
begin the service. With a elphe looked
up in the face of his mistress and seemed
to ask the meaning Of all this. The
dog then taking in the solemnity of the
occasion, stretched himself out on the
train of the brides satin dress, and re-
NAMED there until the marriage service
was concluded.
A cunning Vermont fox has for sew
era1 years defeated all attempts to cap
ture him. A few weeks ago man put
a beefs head on the hin near London
and set n trap near by. He soon saw
frcah fox tracks, and put his hound TO
work. II was lively chase, but the fox
was too much for the dog, coaxing the
dog over considerable territory, and at
length coming back TO the hill where
the trap was set and jumping over it.
But the dog put his foot in the trap and
stopped right there, leaving the fox to
60 on.

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 tho whole
Bible, the Vulgatc, which became TO
the middle ages what the Septuagint
has been to the Jews and the early
Christians, and which has been tho
basis OF all the early TRANSACTIONS into
modern languages. The English di-
vines OF 1911, who relied mainly on the
Septuagint for the Interpretation of the
Hebrew Scriptures, made use OF such
Greek texts Of tho New Testament ms

were helped greatly by the Vulga'e.

manuscripts that have since been
brought to light have much enlarged
tho opportunities of modern scholar

writings; yet the result of the recent

Kumyss for Dyspcptics.

1t seems strange that there are 30
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. It is fact, however, that in
some cases milk is not we'll tolerated by
the system--it seems to undergo imme-
diate coagulation in the stomach, and to
form there a heavy, indigestible mass.
For this reason kind of milk-wine,
made by the fermentation of milk after
the addition OF n 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 its
nutritiye value should be more widely
known. As ordinarily sold 1t 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 pressurc-the
quart bottles in which root beer is sold
are excellent for the purpose. About
six quarts should he prepared Mt one
time. To each quart of fresh milk add
an ounce OF sugar and piece of COM
pressed yeast about the size Of pea.
The bottles should be nearly filed with
the mixture, and allowed to stand, I'M
corked. until the fermentation is we'll
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
4 week or two, when the product is
ready for use. Tho fermentation de-
yelops q small quantity Of alcohol, but
the peculiarly o. the kumyss is that the
cascine. instead of being coagnlated in
large Jumps, moro 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 10y 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 milk diet, and who
cannot use tho article in the ordinary
way, would do we'll TO adopt the sugges-
tons of DIR. j. ID. Trask, who states
that warm milk can be taken without
discomfort, when cold milk cannot be
borne. He thinks We should regard
milk more as an article OF food than as q
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
stomaohs should, therefore, eat the
bread separately, and thoroughly mix II
with the hLids the mouth. Probably
many persons who think they cannot use
milk would find ii valuable food IL
taken ut temperature alightly above
100 degrees Fahrenheit. Experience
has already proved this to be the fact in
some cases, and the experiment is worthy
Of n trial.-Ne,c York Times.

The date tree requires not only album
dant irrigation but great solar heat.
The Arabs say that ii stands with its
feet in the water and its head in the
fires OF Heaven. The love OF the Arab
for this precious tree may well be
imagined, growing as it does in the
sand, contenting itself with water so
saline as TO destroy ordinary vegetation,
giving n grateful shade when all around
is burned up by the ardent heat of the
summer, resisting the winds which bend
but cannot break its flexible stem, and
affording fruit sought for in every
part OF the world.
The male tree, Of course, bears no
fruit F; it has merely bunch of flowers
inelosed, until maturity, with spathe
The females have also lunches OF flowers
which, however, canno. become de-
veloped into fruit until formulated by
the motion OF the male flower. To in.
sure this result the Arabs ascend the
tress in the month OF April and insert
into every female spathe a portion Of
the pollen Of the male flower. The fruit
then begins TO swell and forms long
clusters, weighing from twenty to forty
pounds, each tree producing from 100
10 200 pounds in season. To multiply
the date tree the Arabs do not SOW the
seed, a. they could not then be sure Of
the sex Of tho trees; they prefer TO plant
the suckers from The base OF female

but do not attain full fruition beiuIe

waited below them. The trees will live
for about 200 years they are not worth
preserving after q century. When they
are no longer valuable for fruit the sap
Is extracted to make kind OF insipid
wine, aud the heart or cabbage Of the
tree il also eaten. They are then cut
down and the wood. although very in
feror IN quality, is here valuable, where
no other kind can be procured. The
roots are used for fencing and roofing,
and the leaves are made into mats,
baskets, sacks and cords.
Like all other species OF cultivated
plants, the date tree has numerous
varieties. In the cases Of the Zipas
seventy distinct varieties are recognized.
The trees come into flower in spring,
in March or April. and the fruit Is ripe
about October. The one Ia called the

has substantially no competitor in the vast territory

occupies almost to the exclusion of other morning

rapidly than during the past six months, is four
