that it, combined with the incident of the

DOMESTIC HApPINEss.-The harmony OF
married life depends almost entirely upon
dinners 1t is not the state of the heart so
much as the condition of the stomach which
makes man happy. 1t is better for wo'
man rank heresy, we know-to be able to
make a cheerful home than to talk Greek.
Before marriage, the ability to sing divinely
and to play impossible music are very attract
i've; but when two people settle down to thu
steady work of loving each other for forty
or fifty years, the kitchen inevitably empha'
sizes itself, and the chances of success are
greater with comely housewife than with an
accomplished beauty, who knows everything
except how to make the house attractive.

Gum ARAB1c-The most familiar objects
about US are often the least understood, and
probably few pause to ask the question,
"Wbat is gum Arabic, and whence comes it :"
In Morocco, about the middle Of November,
(that is after the rainy season., gummy
juice exudes spontaneously from the trunk
and branches of the acacia. 1t gradually
thickens in the furrow down which it runs,
assumes the form of oval and round drops,
about the size of pigeons egg, of different
colors, as it comes from the red or white gum
tree. About the middle of December the
Moors encamp on the border of the forest,
and the harvest lasts a full month. The
gum is then packed in large leather sacks.
and transported on the backs Of camels and
bullocks to seaports for shipment. The bar.
vest occasion is one of great rejoicing, and
the people for the time being almost live on
the gum, which is nutritious and fattening.

Crusoe's Island is to-day little paradise.
Lord planted there on one of his voyages,

years. On the second day he was not little
surprised to see man suddenly emerge from
a ciump of bushes and approach him. He
looked upon him ss Crusoe's successor, al
though he did not occupy the historical cave,
having built himself hut of stone and sods,
roofing it with straw of wild oats. As cook

under good conditions, you can see that num-
erous results are obtainable. There's no meat
producing record like it. Think of it. A
single pair of carp to produce in one season
young that by the next season would yield to
the net from 60, to 100000 pounds of the
most delicious meat food, and this, too, with
out dollars expense for feeding or housing
or attention"
"If the yield of single pair is from 10000
to 10000 why did Mr.. Pappe's produce only
5000 the first year?'
"Simply because they had spent the first
three or four months of their lives in travelling,
and a month, probably, in recuperating.
Their spawn was much larger than 5000 but
the frogs destroyed q large amount of it.
The yield was not as large, however, as it was
for the same FIVE fish the next year"
"You say that it cost nothing for food.
What did Mr.. Pappe feed his fish on?"
HE fed them mainly on curd from the
dairy. He used to say, for he is dead now,
that carp, would eat anything hog would.
They are fond of barley, wheat, or anything
of the kind. They find large part of their
food in the pond itself, especially if the pond
bed has been sown in wheat or some sort of
grain before the water is turned on. l mean
by saying that they cost nothing to keep,
that they would live and thrive on what is
usually the wastage of farm and what
would be thrown away if the carp pond was
not there to empty it into Crusts of bread,
scraps of vegetables, anything almost that
comes from the table of farmers family,
did Mr.. Pappe find his pond practica-
ble?'
Immensely so. He had, however, source
of revenue that could not be counted on for
the ordinary carp pond. This was the

REVISION OF THE BIBLE.

lii its issue of the 25th inst. the MINER gave
its readers a selection OF the leading pas
sages in the Bible which have been revised.
The mode Of working pursued by the par
ties engaged IN the great work is thus given
by The New York World, to which journal
we are indebted for our copy: '11le revision
Of the King James translation Of The Dible
into English began with resolutions Of the
corvocation of Canterbury at = session held
on May 5, 1870. They We're to the effect that
1t was desirable that a revision of LIE author
ICED version Of holy Scripture should be I'M
dertaken that no changes should be made
but such as faithtulncss required; that the
style OF the language OF the existing version
should he closely followed, and tina the CO.
operation Of scholars Of ether nations and
other religious bodies should be invited. A
committee Of eight bishops and eight presby-
tiers was appointed to carry on. these resolu-
tons, of whom three bishops Winchester.
Gloucester and Bristol, and Salisbury, to-
gether with the prOlOcutOr Of the lower
house, now dean Of Lichfe!d, the late dean
u SiibN 'h- ND4' +hlio4hJs Wig iiEGii u
Westminster and Canon Blakesley (uow dean
of Lincoln) formed the original New Tesla
ment company. At the first meeting of the
united committee twenty-oDe scholars We're
elected as members Of the New Testament
company. The same year companies were
formed in America to cooperate with the
English companies.
The mode of working between the COM
panies was as follows: The English company
first revised the Greek text and the transia-
ton, examining together every verse and every
word. This was lone at the rate of about
forty verses a day, aud it took six years to
complete the first revision. As each portion
was competed copies were sent to the Amer
lean company, who, ia due course, sent back
their criticisms and suggestions. These were
carefully considered during the second re-
vision, which occupied tW4 years and a half.
AS the various portions of the second revision
were completed they were sent to America,
and the Americans sent back further criti-
cisrns and suggestions, which were in turn
carefully considered. at last the revised
version was sent over to America In its final
a list of passages in which they record their
preferences for other renderings than those
adopted by the English company. These will
be found at the end of the large edition of
the New Testament to be is sued by the uhi-
yersity presses.n
