KISSING THE BIBLE.

The Philadelphia judge who re-
fused to compel a. lady witness to
kiss the Bible is man of sound
sense, at least in this respect.
When the old Bible was brought
out for the lady to take the oath
by kissing it, she declined to do SO
because it was greasy. The judge
then ordered her to be sworn by
the uplifted hand, saying: II am
not surprised that the witness did
not kiss the book; | would not do
1t either-a dirty book like that. "
The custom OF requiring a wit
ness to kiss Bible is nasty one,
and one that should not prevail
among decent people. Anything
more dirty or disgusting cannot be
imagined. just fancy one ofthese
books, years in use in court Of
justice, gumny with foulness. Its
surface has come in contact with
the lips of the lowest and most
filthy classes OF humanity, those of
the foul harlot, the sensual roue,
the sot, theetobacco chewer and
tie drunkard; then it is set out for
the innocent and pure woman or
child to kiss. If it is true that
cleanliness is next to Godliness,
then an oath administered in this
manner will surely not be recog-
nized in heaven. 1t is an insult
to the Deity to invoke His co -oper-
alton on a book covered with palp-
able impurity.-Ex.

CIPHER.
\ western man who owned a great
farm in Dakota was obliged to cross the
water for business purposes. For three
months he heard nothing from the man
whom he had left in charge of the farm,
and at last he became somewhat dis
turbed. He was an illiterate person,
though a capital farmer, and the writing
of a telegram was a matter Of some diff
Guilty. AT last he sent off the following
comprehensive message:

Impatiently he awaited the answer.
1t would be expensive, he felt sure,
whether it brought good or bad news,
judging by his own experience.
But his trusty foreman was a person
of few words and strict ideas of econ

ious employer received as soon as posi-
