Funny Errors Which Made Considerable

Fanny Errors Which Made Considerable
Noise In the World.
Shortly after the invention OF print
ing the wife of a printer in Germany,
while an edition OF the Bible was in the
press on one occasion made a small but
important change in the types. The
sentence in Genesis in which it is de-
clared that Eve shall be subject to her
husband runs thus: "He shall be thy
lord" (Herr). This was altered to
ale shall be thy fool" Narr). Many
copies Of the book got into circulation
before the substitution Of the one word
for the other was discovered, for in
black letter Herr and Narr much re-
semble each other. 1t is said that the
practical joke cost the unfortunate
woman her life, she having been con
demned to the stake by the ecclesiasti-
cal authorities. During the latter part
Of last century an awkward mistake
occurred in this country in printing the
Bible. In this edition the word mot"
was omitted in The seventh command
meDt. For this piece Of carelessness
the then Archbishop Of Canterbury
imposed u heavy penalty. The edition,
so far as practicable, was called in and
destroyed, and a fine of E20, 600 was in
aicted upon the printers. The Roman
Catholic Missal issued in France was
once the subject Of Il ludicrous blunder.
By Che accidental substitution Of a
for an q the word "calotte IAN eccle-
siastical cap or mitre) was printed
"culotte" ~(breeches). The error oc-
Cured In the directions for conducting
the service, and the sentence as altered
read: Here the priest will take of his
'culotte.'"- C0rnhiW Magazine.

How to Help Your Digestion.

Almost every day we feel the unpleasant
sensations Of indigestion. Try ALAoocK's
Porous PLAsrERs and be relieved. J. F.
Davenport, Of Canarsie, New York, writes
have been very much troubled with O
violent pain below my chest bone. l was
told by several physicians that it was
rheumatism Of the diaphragm. 1t resulted
from cold and exposure. l had very little
appetite and digested my food with great
difficulty. placed one ALLcocK's Porous
PLASTER below the breast bone and two on
each side. In the course Of twenty-four
hours all pain ceased, and l was able to
eat and digest a good square meal, some,
thing I had not done before in two weeks.
l got better constantly, and at the end OF
seven days found myself entirely well.
Since then l have used ALLooCK's Porous
PLAsrERs for colds, coughs and pains in
my side, and I have always found them
quick and effective.

LEAF.cUTTiNo ANTS.
Interesting Observation Made by . Nat
uralist In Central America.


Mr.. Thomas Belt gives In his book,
"A Naturalist in Nicaragua an enter.
tanning account Of the leaf-cutting ants
as he had to study them" In his garden
in Central America. These insects
strip trees and shrubs of all foliage,
but the native trees do not suit them SO
well AS cultivated ones. The result is
that when they get into a garden il
means the complete destruction OF oil
fruit trees and plants.
When the ants made one OF their
nests or hills in the garden OF the
naturalist, he took measures TO dis
lodge them by pouring carbolio acid
mixed with water down their nest.
This drove them out.
Next day." says Mr.. Belt, II found
them busily employed bringing up the
ant-food from the old burrows and
carrying it to D new one a few yards
distance, and here first noticed o
wonderful instance OF their reasoning
powers,
Between the old burrows and the
new n was q steep slope. Instead
Of descending this with their burdens,
they set them down on the top OF the
slope, whence they rolled down to the
bottom, where another relay OF labor.
ers picked them up and carried them TO
the new burrow. 1t IA amusing to
watch the ants hurrying out with
bundles OF food, dropping them over
the slope and rushing back Immediate
ly for more. They also brought out
great numbers Of dead ants that the
fumes Of the carbolic acid had killed.
"A few days afterward, when | Wis
tied the locality again, | found both the
old burrows and the new one entirely
deserted, and l thought they had died
OFF; but subsequent events convinced
me that the survivors had only moved
away to a greater distance.
1T was fully twelve months before
my garden was invaded. l had then a
number Of rose trees, and also cab.
bages growing. which the ants seemed
to prefer to every thing else. The 81
trees were soon stripped Of their
leaves. and great havoc was made
amongst the cabbages.
Il followed them to their nest, and
found it about two hundred yards from
the one of the year before. ! poured
down the burrows, as before, several
buckets of water with carbolic acid.
The ants, as before, were at once with
drawn from my garden; and two days
a%fterward, on visiting the place, ]
found all the survivors at work on one
track that led directly to the old lest
Of the year before, where they were
busily employed making excavations.

serpent utter a low hiss and move

When he reached the doorway and

thirty seconds. My sight went away
