Tee Pacific Coast Slishtea.

1t has been ascertained that there are
a number of employees in the Depart
ments at Washington credited to the
Pacific coast States, who have no right
to claim residence there. In the Post
office Department two men who lived
in Tennessee are credited to Nevada.
Even with these wrong credits the Pa
cifc coast has not as many in the de-
partment as it is entitled to. In the
Treasury there are twenty-six Cali
fornians, while the State is entitled tC
fifty-eight; in the Postoffice but four
while entitled to eight; in the War
Department but eight, although en-
titled to sixteen, and in the Interior
Department but eighteen, while the

same proportionate deficiency holds
good in the same departments as re-
CARDS Oregon, Nevada and New Mexico.

Inherited Perils.

Foremost among the perils to life,
in all it's stages, but especially in its
early stages are the inherited. We
may safely say that no n Is born
free from faint of disease, and we may
almost say with equal certainty that
there is no definable disease that dos
not admit of being called hereditary,
unless it be aecidently produced. To
what IS known as specific disease, the
diseai e of diseases; to struma or
s~crofula and its ally, if not the same,
tu1ercular affections; TO cancer, to
rheumatism and govt, and to alcoholic
degeneration, the grand perils of life
are mainly due. These are the bases
of 81 many diseases which bear differ
ent names, these so modify diseases
which may In themselves be distinct
that il they were removed the dangers
would be reduced to a minimum.
These diseased conditions do not,
however, exhaust the list of fatal conn.,
mon in~heritances. On many coca
sions for several years past 1 have OBJ
served, and maintained the observa-
ton, that some diseases, as commune
cable, infectious or contagious, are
also classifiable under this head. I
am satisfied that quinsy, diphtheria,
scarlet fever, and even what is called
brain fever, typhoid, are often of
hereditary character. I have known
a family in viii h four members have
suffered from diphtheria, a parent
having had the same affection, and
probably a grandparent. 1 have
known a family in which five men,
bers have, at various periods, suffered
from typhoid, a parent and a grand
parent having been subject to the
same disease. I have known a family
in which quinsy has been the marked
family cha racteristie for four genera
tons. These persons have been the
sufferers from the diseases named.
without any obvious contraction of the
diseases, and without having any
companions in their snfferings. They
We're, in fact, predisposed to procure
the poisons of the diseases in their
own bodies: as the cobra is said to
produce the poisonous secretion which
in its case is a part of its natural
organization.

Various Paragraphs.

Few are the men who are content to
give up their country for the sake OF
their principles. One has been found
in the person Of Senior Joaquin Nah
ROO, the eminent Brazilian politician.
He has withdrawn from the Chamber
of Deputies and from public life in
Brazil because he is unable to per-
suade his fellow-countrymen to emAn-
cipate the million and a half Of slaves
they hold. He has arrived In London
where he intends to live in future,
having shaken the dust of Brazil nom
his feet forever.
The advantages of the American
baggage system in tracing and recov-
ering lost packages was strikingly
illustrated on Tuesday evening. A
Disciple of Isaac Walton was fishing
off the Howard street foot bridge for
tom cod with q baggage check at
taehed to his line for a sinker; when,
feeling a strong tug al his hook, he
pulled up and found a vslise securely
fastened to the line. This extraordi-
nary luck has induced q number Of
down-tewners to go fishing for the
key.-Eew London Day.
Princess Jeanne, the intelligent and
pretty daughter of Prince Pierre
Bonsparte and his milliner wife, is
about to be married to the Marquis de
Villeneuve Esclapon. Her dowry of
1000, 900 francs is probably a part of
the money brought into the family by
her brothers. marriage with Mile.
Blanc. Her future husband has, like
herself, aesthetic tastes, and the young
pair became acquainted by contri-
buting, one to the preface, the other
to the illustrations of some forthcom-
ing Provencal poems by William
Bonaparte Wyse, the friend of M. de
Villsneuve and cousin to the Princess.
A law Office noted for graduating
successful politicians has at last been
closed at Ashtabula, Ohio. 1t was
opened in 1921 by Joshus r. Giddiugs,
and among the subsequent partners
in the firm were Benjamin F. Wade
and r. P. Ranney. There were only
seven partners altogether, yet they

Early Manuscripts of the New
Testament.

All we have to depend upon for our
translstions of the New Testament are
copies, ancient versions, translations,
and the quotations made by the
Fathers of the Church. The manu-
scripts of the New Testament are of
two kinds-the uncial, the oldest
class of manuscripts, written In CAPT
tails and without punctuation, and the
"cursive" manuscripts, 20 called from
their being written in a running hand
that began to be used in the tenth CEN
fury. Those of the old class were
written between the fourth and tenth
centuries, the others after the tenth
century. OF the old there are one
hundred and thirty in existence; Of
the new, about one thousand five hun
bred. The very old and very vslua-
BILE manuscripts are only five. OF
these, The A~lexandrian Codex was
originally discovered at Alexandria,
and was sent to King Charles /. in
1928. 1t Is now in the British Museum.
Nothing IL known of the origin of
this, but it Is usually assigned to the
middle of the fifth century. 1t is
much mutilated, twsnty-four chap
tiers OF the first Gospel, two of the
fourth, and eight Of one of the Epistles
being missing. The next 10 the Vati-
can manuscript, supposed to have
been written in the fourth century.
A copy of this was eve made till
1868, when a fas-simiis was issued.
The condition of this is much more
perfect. The third manuscripts thstin
the National Library at Paris, whittier
it was brought by Cstharine de
Medici. This had been overwritten-
that is, the parchment had been used
for other writings; but, in spite of
that, the original has been deciphered.
1t is assigned 10 the early part of the
fifth century. The fourth manuscript
is that now al Cambridge. This Is the
least valuable, as it Is much mutilated.
1t belongs to the sixth century. The
manuscript found in 1874 in the con
vent of st. Catharine on Mount Sinai
by Tischendorf, and copied by him in
1889, is the most valuable Of the five,
rs it contains the New Testament
complete. This 10 supposed to have
been written In the fourth century.
None of these most valuable authori-
ties were consulted in any Of the last
English versions of the Bible, even in
making that of King James time.
The Latin Vulgate, the plentiful cur
sive manuscripts and the translations
were used.
