A SILLY Bible MIsPRINT.-It is popu.
larry supposed, remarks a correspondent
of the London Daily News, that the
Authorized Version of the Bible, ~ we
have II to-day, In entirely free from prin-
ters' errors; and il may be interesting to
good many Of your readers TO learn
that II contains anything OF the kind.
The following passage, however, speaks
for itself, and the misprint contained in
1t will be readily noticed "woe to .he
idol shepherd that leaveth the flock!
The sword shall be upon his arm, and
upon his right eye; his arm shall he
clean dried up, and his right eye shall
be- utterly darkened." (Zachariah, chap.
XII, " ~ Curiously enough, this error
has been allowed TO remain uncorrected
by the University Press for nearly 10
years, and possibly for a much longer
period; at any rate, IL will be found in
the editions Of the Bible for 1889 and
1889, 1885 being the date of publication
Of the Revised Version. II was of
course discovered by the Revising Com.
pany, and ii would seem as il they wish.
ed to consign the fault 10 oblivion, rs
they substituted anew objective worth
less for that misprinted -- namely,
idle avoiding, moreover, any refer
encc, marginal or otherwise, 10 the alter
nation.

A Few Bulls OF Action and Conducb as
Well as Spoken Bulls.
An IrishmaG, testifying in police court,
was asked to explain why he had "shoWn
the white feather" on a certain occasion
ATS better to be coward for five minutes
than dead all your life" he replied. Another
lrishman, while accompanying a fishing
party, had a bad fail down a steep mountain
slope PieAing himself up, he devoutly ex-
claimed: "Glory be 10 God that wasn't
walking back over the mountains q dead
manip
The humor Of these blunders lies in the
INABILITY of the speakers to regard life as
excluding death, aud death as excluding
life. But neither OF them is a lopsensioal
expression, on the contrary, each illustrates
what an Irish writer says of Irish blupders:
'They are frequently humorous hyperboles,
and present very often the most energetic
mode Of expressing the speakers opinion. ~
An irish peasant talks of "a sthrong weak
ness" and says that ''the water is dry in
the river" and tells you that .'ths only way
TO prevent what's past is to put stop to it
before Il happens " He win confess. al can
always remember things in advance or,
"There / sat expecting that every moment
would be my next" and describe drops of
rain as varying In size "from shilling to
eighteen penc6n
These expressions are "bulls," but they
are also picturesque blunders such as could
be made only By speasantry gifted with wit,
metaphor and ingenuity "Eyen the cutters
OF turf and drawers of whisky are orators, ~
wrote Maria Edgeworth of the Irish peas
ants, more than eighty years ago.
A writer, on whose essay in the London
Spectator we have drawn, points out that
there are bulls Of action and conduct a. well
as spoken bulls.
An Irish lady, observing that her bed
curtains had caught fire, hurried away to
fetch water. She caught up o can Of water,
md as she was about to pour it upon the
HaInas remembered that it was hot water,
md mentally decided that it could be Of no
use. An Irish school-boy placed cup full
~ coffee en- q sloping desk. Finding that 1t
ore-fiowad, he sought TO remedy his diff
Gully BY turning the cup around. An
Irish tenaat wishing to raise the roof Of his
cahin began-by eXcareting the. floor.
IA Irishman, on gentleman saying to
him How did you like that whisky, Patl''
81 once replied: "Sure, your honor, Il has
made another man OF me, and that other

GUM-CHEwINo GIRLS.
The Amount Of Power Wasted Every ID
by Each One Of Them.

The Amount Of Power Wasted Every Day
by Each One Of Them.
The Rum-chewinR mania having become
aquestion Of National Importance, like that
Of the utilization of the water-power of Mag
ara Falls, one of the Chicago public-school
principals has, according to q Chicago Jour-
nal, recently taken the necessary time from
his arduous duties to compute statistics on
the loss OF power daily expended-wasted,
may say-in the gum-chewing practice. In
arriving at correct mathematical conclu-
sions as to the energy required TO keep the
gum-mills grinding, our learned friend
estimates the gum-raising capacity Of the
lair Rum-chewer at the rate of eight
ounces per 'chaw." This is on the suppo-
sition that the mouth Is opened half an inch
each time in the act of chewing, and that
the gum is Of the elastic or non-sticky va
riety, thereby giving the minimum of power
required in the operation. With this basis
as starting point, the professor easily de.
ducts startling series of tables of rates,
weights and measures, which can be epit-
omized. In the first place, If the jaw be
raised one-haf an inch with each effort in
the act Of Gum-chewing, with the process
kept up on an average of ten hours q
day-some chewers chew till late at night
and others, even, when asleep-each indi-
vidual motion of the jaw consuming Sec
Ond Of time, the aggregated opening of a
gum-chewer's jaws in one day alone would
represent mouth fifteen hundred feet
across, measuring the abyss in its widest
diameter. But, since the jaw travels back
with every motion, retracing each success
sive stretch, the space travelled In day on
the ten-hour plan is double the foregoing
figures, or three thousand feet-something
like three-ffths Of mile. Again, if the
force expended per ''chaw" represents a
lifting capacity Of eight ounces, In the aver
age day, as Mr.. Principal figures it, enough
muscular energy is exerted-wasted-to
enable each individual gum-chewer to have
hoisted from a cellar seven and half feet
deep thirty buckets Of coal each weighing
thirty pounds. In some future article may
and may not-pursue the interesting sub
ject, and quote from the professors work
the amazing possibilities In store for home
and society when the gum-chewing craze
shall have been brought into subjugation
and made to serve humanity in channels Of
usefulness and progress.

Her manners were most gentle,
Her voice was music sweet
And gre " sentimental

We danced a waltz together,
And oh, the way she dancedl
Each little foot a feather
Across the carpet glanced;
We ogled DER the ices
Until my heart sad: ''This

In all our conversation,
We cordially agreed.
Her highest commentator
Was always: YES, indeedw

i actually grew wearied
With Yes" and ''Yes, On, Yea"
But girls that are so stupid
Oft have a pretty face;
They get the help OF Cupid,
And win us by their grace

She'll answer Yes" TO me.
