The Scotch Crofters.

''We're getting fewer and fewer every
year at ST. Kilda," said 'Old Salt to
newspaper interviewer, 'and there's
now only abont 100 people ON the Island.
This, we are told, is because we marry
our cousins. That / don't know. At
any rate il is not the old people that die,
but the babies between two months and
a year. 1t is about eighty miles from
the mainland, and twice in every year
a ship comes to us and supplies us with
what we want and takes away birds
feathers and the oil we get from the
seabirds. Formerly we had no glass
for our windows except we got the glass
from q wrecked ship, but some good
people on the mainland sent us glass,
and we Lave also iron roofs on our
houses now. They have tried to get
US to leave the island, but none of us
will do it"
''How do you catch the seabirds?"
"The way we do it is to drive stake
into the brow of the cliff and then
throw q rope If cowhide over. The
man then descend and catches the birds
with net.
''Do you have many ship wrecks"
''Oh, aye. nearly every year; and
sometimes the men are saved and some,
times they are not"

A millionaire Editor.

n. Y. Cor, Philadelphia Record.
The only really handsome millionaire
that know of in this city is Mr.. Allen
Thorndyke Rice, the editor and proprie
tor of The North American Review. Mr..
Rice is said to be the fortunate possessor
of $4,000, 900, which is but drop in the
bucket compared to the fortunes of many
of our wealthy citize MS; but, still, it is
very comfortable sum to have at ones
command, and Mr.. Rice knows how to
use it to his own enjoyment and to the
enjoyment of others. Mr.. Rice is a young
man, not 35 should say, with olive COM
plexion, dark brown hair, large hazel
eyes, q good straight nose, and a we'll
brushed, close-cut beard, overhung by a
long moustache. He dresses quietly, and
while his clothes are all of the handsom-
est material, he seems to have a fancy
for top-coat that is little worn in the
seams, so that his clothes will not have
the appearance of having just come from
the tailor.
Mr.. Rice is very busy man; for, be-
sides taking care of his money, he looks
after the interests of The North Ameri-
can. engages contributors, and, when he
is in New York, takes entire charge of
the editorial department upon his shoul-
ders. But all this does not seem to oc-
cupy the whole,ef his time, for he has
recently gone into other branches of bu-
siness, so that he keeps two secretaries
going all day long. One of MIR. Rice;
recent schemes is a bureau for furnish
ing literary articles to a syndicate o.
newspapers. The first articles that have
appeared in this syndicate, from Mr.
Rice's bureau, were published a shor
time ago. suppose Mr.. Rice's idea is Il
furnish somewhat the same class of arti
cles to the newspapers as appear in tn,
pages of The North American. O
course, not so long, but articles of liter

ONE OF GOV. oURTIN's BOYS.
The War Governor OF Pennsylvania
Cared for at the Theatre.

Cared for at the Theatre.
Gov. Curtin, who is quite a eonspicu-
Gus figure at Washington, both in con-
gress and the social circles, created a SEN
sation at the theatre the other night says
dispatch. He has been anxious to see
Henry Irving, and told Mrs. Curtin and
her daughter, Mrs. Wilson, to go and he
would meet them there. ''They need
not engage a seat for him. No, no; he
would get a seat and be all right" he
said as they parted. The house stayed
in session on the river and harbor bill
until it was quite late, and by the time
the governor reached the theatre there
was standing room only, and very little
of that He wedged himself in along
one of the side isles and happened in
front of some men who were perched up
on a windowsill. One of them touched
him on the shoulder and told him to
stamp aside. Just then a big double-fist-
ed fellow, who was standing close by,
pointed his index finger up at the three
windowsill ornaments with the firm in
quiry: ''Do you know who you're
shown! That's eX-Goy. Curtin, our war
governor" The getting louder: "Tm
one of the boys; I served under you, Gov
ernor; nobody shall shove you around
where I am; git down off that window
sill, he shouted; ''git down quick" and
as they slid from their roost he yelled,
'sShill knock them down. Governors
shill / knock them down p and the fell
low fairly danced with excitement. By
this time the door-keepers had reached
the parties, when Curtin's protector
shouted, ''Git the old governor a seat,
and pulled out roll of bills, ''Git him a
seat" he continued in voice that silen-
ced the actors on the stage, ''Git him a
seat; here's the money for it." There
was one private box not yet occupied,
and the managers were glad to rush Cur
tin into it to end the scene that was not
on the bills. cone Of the boys" as he
called himself, then took his station in
the middle aisle and for the rest of the
evening gazed intently into the private
box at the old war governor, who, dur
ing the melee, was unable to avoid the
attention he was receiving. 1t created
more amusement and applause than any
scene in the play.

The death of Myra Clark Gaines

on the floor. No one has yet claimed the
prize.
What are you going to do with the

it was pulled upward by an invisible
string fastened to the crown of his head.
This face has a high forehead, and the
head of which it is the frontispiece is
covered with thick growth of brown
black hair O'Neill has straight, slen-
der form, bright black eye, and tenn
perament as jovial as Bacchus, and as
lively as that of Mercury. He jumps
about the house from one member to an

Some Important Changes In the Revised Bible.


In Genesis, H., we come 10 matter OF far greater
Importance, namely, tha rendering OF the name ~
God In covenant with man. Here, In verse 4. W.
ind In the text Lord In capitals, with the magma
note, Jehovah. Now upon this point there WAS .
great division OF opinion among the reyherr al
which the version bears clear indications. For
SoIne OF the company, regarding Jehovah az the
personal name OF the Deity, wished 10 retain IL uni
formy In all places, while others considered thai
the substitution for II OF Lord had the authority or
New Testament usage, and, as q minor point In ita
favor referred 10 the fact that the right prOnuncip-
ton OF the word IL a matter OF uncertainty. Finally
II was decided that Lord should he retained, but
that The usage OF the Authorized Version IN coca
lxXxlli, IS; Isa XII. = XVI ~ should be enlarged
Thus we now find Jehovah In Gen. xiv ~, XXI 90,
xxi II, ETC., and this will at least serve TO remind
an attentive reader Of the very frequent OF This
name, so pregnant with meaning IN the Original
language.
Another very important matter is the rendering OF
the Hebrew word sheo which signifies the abode or
place OF the dead, Ike Tue word hell" In the ApOs-
Ties creed. In HE Authorized Version II was trans
lated sometimes grave, sometimes pit, and some
times he'll; but the latter word IL now misleading,
because II has acquired the meaning OF the place OF
torment This rendering, therefore, now disappears,
except In Isaiah xiv. where the sense cannot be mis-.
understood; but else where, In the poeical books,
slieol Is generally placed In the text and grave IN
the margin; while In the historical books sleol N
put into the margin, and grave pit into the text
While evidently anxious 10 preserve the majestic
rhythm OF the Authorized Version, and careful Ia
earnestly labored 10 make their version subsan.
TALLY correct, and the changes they have made arc
therefore numerous 10 elumerate these would be
