THE SMITH SISTERS BIBLE.
The Origin of = Famous Work by the
Eccentric Connecticut SpInsters.
From the Hartford Times.

From The HRrtf0rd Times.
We five sisters and friend of ours met
together once a week for five years to talk
over the Bible. l said could translate
the New Testament, as 1 understood
Greek, so every week we would read over
what had translated, and they all de-
cided that it was clearer than the King
James translation. Soon after this l de-
cided TO learn Hebrew and translate the
Septuagint, and this is the way it
came about: l applied to Prof.
Jarvis. of MIddietoWn. whose father
was then Bishop, for some books.
Prof. JARVIS had the best
library in the State, and wrote to him
that | wanted TO learn the meaning or the
proper names in the Bible, and asked If l
could not ind them in st. Jerome. He re-
piled that ST. Jerome's works were in nu-
merous volumes and that he could not
loan them. but II would come TO Middle

he was the means of my studying He

lated the Septuagint from the Greek

StuplditY-Not SteaIinp.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Saturday the Argus alleged that there had
been stealing in the Portland post Office. In
Mondays dailies the Postmaster denies the
charge of stealing. but pleads guilty to
stupidity. He says that letter was adj
dressed to the State Treasurer, Portland,
Me-; tina was sent from the Casco National
Bank; that it contained check for $4,000;
that it was held in the Portland post Office
and found in the general delivery. Now to
an ordinary business man, one who was not
tied up with red tape this looks like gross
stupidity The State Treasurer has his
office at Augusta. and this fact of course
was known to the officials of the Casco Ma
tional Bank and to those in the post office.
Seeing letter from the bank addressed to
the State Treasurer, Portland, it seems as If
1t might have occurred to the party who
handled that particular letter, that there was
an error of address, which call through
the telephone would have rghted. recent

and even less eXcusable in its stupidity than
this. A Portland merchant sent pressing
order by mail to well known Boston firm
By apen-slip he wrote Boston, Me-" Not
hearing from his goods, he wrote again and
also telegraphed. Finding that his first
letter had miscarried, he made inquiry at the
