IS The Bible and Other Ancient Lftera-
ture i'm the Nineteenth Century.''


The following is the report by 'INN1s-
FALLEN" of division A of the prison
Chautauqua circle. submitted at the usual
fOrtnightly meeting of the members held in
the chapel attached to this institution, on
Sunday afternoon August "a, 1890:
Mr.. President, Rev. Critic and brother
Chautauquans: The subject upon which
1 am called upon to report to day, is-tak-
ing the skepticism of the present age into
cOnsderatiOn-One which should be ap-
preached by every true Christian with no
little amount of care and thoughtful study.
and in the presentation of his opinions the
faithful disciple of Him whose coming was
heralded by angels songs should always
be careful not to hurt the sensitveness of
those who from early training or any other
cause may differ from him. In dealing
with religious subjects good results are al
and fOrbearance.
To illustrate: Nothing can disarm the
poor youthful convict, the despised and for
gotten one, led away upon the filthy current
of the worlds notions of right and wrong,
than as you stand at the door of his lonely
cell, and listen to the OutpOurings of his re-
llgiOusly deceased mind, deceased by the
foul and filthy literature of the day-noth-
ing can disarm him more, say, than to
gently whisper to him through his barred
door, John, that is not the religion you
were taught at the knee of the fond mother
who loved and suffered for you. and who,
were she alive to day, would love you still
the same. even now when those from whom
you derived those false notions of God and
His holy law have abandoned you to your
shame" OF course there are times when
the unblushing effrontery OF the infidel will
force the Christian to take decided issue
with him in defense of the faith that is in
him, and prove himself true soldier of his
Crucified Master. For such occasions 1.-THE
Bible and Other Ancient Literature in the
Nineteenth Century, was in my opinion
written. and if studied with care will al
ways prove, not only weapon of defense
against the attacks of the enemies of Chris
tianity. but also one of victory in the proof
that the Bible is the inspired word of God
and the path upon which it would have all
to tread, the only one which leads to glory
and to truth. In the beginning of the work
I find myself at daggers drawn with the

Labor Organizations.
The following questions and answers are
from the ''Notes and Queries column of
the Pioneer Press:
Q. Can you throw a little light upon the labor
organizations of this countrya What is the differ
ence between the Knights Of Labor, of which Mr..
Powderly is the head, and the organization of
railroad men that threw cold water upon the New
York Central strike. and how do these two
differ from the American Federation of Labor
And what is the relative strength of the three as
to membership? A. The order of the Knights of
Labor was organized in Philadelphia in 1869. and
for long time was the leading labor organization
of the country Its membership last year was
reported at 100000; in 1886 its roll contained
729,677 names; in 1887 it reported $4,000, and in
1888 it's membership was 2s7.4ls. Most of the
trades unions organizations in the United States
met in convention at Columbus, Ohio, in Decem-
ber. 1886, when q national organization was
formed. a constitution adopted and the title taken
of the American Federation of Labor. This body

A new device which will be of inter-
est to dealers in hosiery in the United
States has been recently patented in
several European countries. and an APP
plication for patent Is on file in the
American patent office. Said device
consists OF combination stocking and
garter, made by running rubber elias
tic band through welt at the top of
the stocking.
The ends Of the elastic appear out
side of the welt and may be arranged
to fasten with n button or fancy clasp
similar to those used on kid gloves.
The elastic can be drawn out and in
serted at will, although the necessity
OF taking it out does not yet appear, as
1T is said that the best rubber will sat-
lsfactorily stand the washing process.
When the elastic is in its place the
general appearance of the stocking is
not changed, as the fastening, unless
metallic will be of the same color as

The Farm Tools.

1t would seem as if, after years of
good counsel on the subject. some
farmers would at least take the hint
and look after the farm tools-partic-
ularly after the seasons work is done;
but it will require good deal of
preaching from the text before "con-
version" is accomplished. So one
would think who rides far in almost
any direction this time of the year.

refer to school books. There is per
haps no article which has been the
subject Of SO much discussion through
out the farming communities as that Of
the schoolbook. There has been
much complaint about high prices, and
these prices have generally been
charged to the publishers, but not
rightfully, for investigation proves
that the publishers prices are reason
able. The trouble is traceable to those
retailers who charge outrageous prices
TO make large profits, and to the peo-
PIE VINO do not avail themselves of the

Inc contract system inaugurated by
the American Book Company, of Chi
cago, the largest single book publish
ing concern in the country, and whose
DOCKS are used throughout the length
and breadth of the land, has resulted
In wide awake school district boards

added to this list.
The American Book Company has
led Off in cutting the prices of school
books where contracts are made with
school boards. We find upon referring
to their price list that they also offer
to send their books to any man, woman
or child in the United States, postage
or express prepaid upon receipt of the
list price thus placing in the hands of
the consumer, even in the remotest
and smallest village in the country, an
effective safeguard against extrava-
giant charges. We believe that print
ers' ink is too plenty, and good authors
are ever too ready to work. to allow q
monopoly in the school book trade.
AS school boards have the power en-
tirely in their own hands, there is no
doubt they can secure books at greatly
reduced prices by contracting direct
with publishers for term of years.
Let school officers take advantage of
the new contract plan and put the best
books in the hands of the consumers at
the lowest price possible. Gazette.
