The paper is 4O-pound linen book; tyye,
old style1 BREWER; marginal notes in nom
pariel. Considering the fact that printing
was then only in its infancy this book, as
to its mechanical execution, accuracy of
register. clearness of impression and even
ness of color, will compare favorably with
the best work of the present day. An il
Illuminated title page of the New Testma-
ment reads: Imprinted at London by
Robert Barker, printer to the Kings Most
Excellent Majestic, 1610." Which then is
the true date, and whence the difference in
dates?
The first question is easily answered. In
a note explaining the changed position of
two cuts representing "Solomon's house in
the woods of Lebanon" it is said: "Where
as in ye first edition we did place these two
figures after We first verse of we chapter of
1 Kings, we now are constrained by falling
owte Of ye count to place them here" The
New Testament in a small duodecimo
volume was printed in 1867. Three years
later, 1860, the first edition of the Geneva
Bible was published. Between 1860 and
1916 over 80 editions of this Bible were
printed. Now, had the Bible in question
been the fifth, seventh or any other edition
than the first, propriety of language, as well
as accuracy of statement, would have re-
quired them to state the number of the
edition. This they have done, showing that
this old book is the second edition of the
Geneva Bible printed in 1869.
THE DIFFERENCE IN IMPRINTs.
There is also another significant fact
which has abearing on the question of date,

sons were SO remarkably alike as to meas
ure the same out of dozen details, or yet
in IL out of Is. The few particulars in
which they did differ would be sufficient to
make the Identification complete.
1t is interesting to stop and think to what
uses this system might be extended Why
devote it entirely to the branding of crimf-
mails? Could it not be used in giving to the
inhabitants of country. the soldiers of an
army, or travellers in distant lands, individ-
ual descriptions or charts of peculiar
marks, enabling them to identify themselves
or be recognized at all times
USEFUL IN CASHING DRAFTS.
Might it not be used to prevent false i'm
presentations; to record all the distinctive
marks of an individual on bank drafts and
letters of credit, or in titles and contracts,
his personality to be established for his own
part, for the benefit of third parties, or in
the interest of the State? Would it not be
invaluable in absolutely identifying
prisoners and witnesses in important trials
at court.
Let certificate of life, or a 1ife-insurance
policy, be filled in with the same style of
description as those books in the peni-
tentiary contain of the prisoners; if fam
lilies kept such complete private registry
of its members how valuable it would be if
descriptions of persons becoming insane or
unconscious or meeting sudden death
among strangers came under the observa-
tion of families who had missed relatives?
In short, how perfectly would it checkmate

ONLY ONE DAY REMAINS
Until September Drs. Copeland
and Hall Will Continue the
Rate OfS5 Per Month for Medi-
cineS and Treatment.

The summer is the best time for the treat
ment and cure of catarrhal troubles. The
climatic conditions are then most favorable,
liability of catching fresh cold being then
reduced to the minimum, and the even tenn
perature and the condition of the atmos-
Phere favoring, the progress of the patient.
Drs. Copeland and Hall have decided to
treat all patients, old and new, applying to
them for treatment before September 1 at
the merely nominal rate of So a month, fur
nishing all medicine This applies to pa
tients by mail as well as patients in the city.
1t is to all patients, old as well as new, and
for all diseases. All patients taking treat
ment from Drs. Copeland and Hall before
September 1 will be treated until cured at
the rate of S. month.
1t should take from two to four months of
regular treatment to cure catarrh, commenc-
ing at favorable season of the year. Pa
tients troubled with catarrh taking treat
ment under the above conditions who are
not cured in that length of time will be
TREATED THEREAFTER FREE until
they are cured.

"For four years suffered constantly with

viz, the paper, bearing Barker's imprinl, is
of different quality from that on which the
title to the Psalter is printed, beiug heavier
and not made of as good material To ac-
count for different imprints and dates it
may be supposed that, as no edition of the
Geneva Bible was printed in English until
1916, a large edition (the second) was
printed in 1869 and sent to England in
sheets; that the person to whom these
sheets were consigned was John Bodleigh,
who, in 1865, received from Secretary Cecil
the exclusive privilege of printing the GEN
eva Bible for IL years. In 1875 Bodleigh
transferred his privilege to Robert Barker,
in whose family it continued for more than
100 years, In disposing of his right to print
the Geneva Bible Bodleigh doubtless turned
over to Barker all the sheets of the second
edition which he still had on hand, and
as they were now his property, he placed
his imprint on them, which, it will be OBJ
served, is all he claims.

Their Credentials.

As has been said, DR.. W. Fl. Copeland was
presidentof his class at Bellevue Hospital
Medical College, New York, where he grad
uated, the most famous institution OF it's
kind in the country. His diploma bears the
written Endorsement of the medical authori-
ties of New York of the deans of prominent
medical colleges in Pennsylvania. DIR.
Halls credentials are no less abundant and
unqualified. He also is formally indorsed
by the secretaries OF various county and
State medical societies. Both gentlemen,
after thorough hospital experience and
practice, have devoted their lives to the
practice of their .specialties with what sue
cess the columns Of the daily papers show.
In addition to the high medical authorities
quoted above may be mentioned q Pittsburg

of religion?
A-Because all have not the like measure
of knowledge, neither do all believe the gos-
pei of Christ.
Q.-What Is the reason thereof
A.-Because they only believe the gospel
and doctrine of Christ, who are ordained
unto eternal life.
Q.-Are not all ordained unto eternal life?
A.-Some are vessels of wrath ordained
unto destruction, as others are vessels of
mercy prepared unto glory.
Q.-How standeth it with Gods Justice
that some are appointed unto daIpnation?
Avery well; because all men have in
themselves sin, which deserveth no less; and
therefore, the mercy of God is wonderful in
that he youchsafeth to save some of that
sinful race, and to bring them to a knowl-
edge of the truth.
OFF Gods ordinance and determination
must needs take effect, then what need any
man care? for he that liveth well must be
damned, if he be thereunto ordained; and
he that liveth ill must needs be saved if he be
thereunto appointed.
A-Not so: for it is not possible that
either the elected should always be without
care to do WELL or that the reprobate should
have any will thereunto. For to nave either
good will or good work, is testimony of the
Spirit of God which is given to the elect
only whereby faith is so wrought in them,
that, being graft in Christ they grow in holi-
ness to that glory whereunto they are ap-
pointed

VERSIONS OF THE LORDS PRAYER.

VERSIONS OF THE LORDS PRAYER
The metrical version of the Lords Prayer
was made by Will am Whittingham, a
brother-in-law of John Calvin, having mar
ried his sister. He was a man of consider
able learning and was one of the leading
translators of the Geneva Bible. In addition
to this prayer, he also turned several OF
the psalms into verse, which in this old
Psalter, are marked with his initials, WV.
His version of the Lords Prayer, was, up to
that time, the best that had been made, and
doubtless suggested the more perfect YER
sion of Henry Lok in 1897. As Lok was in
debted to Whittingham, so I think it is
pretty clear, that Adoniram Judson, to
whom the authorship of the present version
of this prayer hymn ZIG Methodist Hymn
naI), is accredited, received from Lok many
of his ideas. For the qualification Of the
reader and for the purpose of giving honor
to whom honor is due, IcoPy Lok's version:
Our Father, which in heaven art,
Lordl hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
In heaven and earth the same.
Give US this day our daily bread;
Our trespasses forgive,
As we for other men s offence
Do freely pardon give.
Into temptation lead US not
But oliver us from ill;
For thine all kingdom, glory, power,
Is now, and ever will.
Compare this with Hymn 716, and it will
be seen that the resemblance between
the two versions is too close and
too literal to be the result of mere
coincidence. Judson is the reviser of
this hymn, but he is not the author.
THE DOCTRINE OF PREDESTINATIoN.
The following taken from "Certain
Questions and Answers Touching the
Doctrine of Predestination," will be
read with interest at this time, when the
attention of the Christian world is being
called to it:

"small," !" ETC., meant to convey impressions

The description medium perhaps, is
used most. Similar difficulties appear in
4 the descriptions of the color of the eye. Of
group OF 100 persons observed once, one
fourth of even height had so-called hazel
eyes, one-fourth had what are commonly
called gray, one-fsurth blue and one-fourth
of indistinct color.
Mr.. j. M. Ray, the official who conducts
the measurements at the Western Peniten-
tiary, tells me that dark-blue eyes turned
from the light and observed at distance of
several feet appear black, owing to the con-
trast of the dark-colored iris with what is
commonly styled the white of the eye. The
so-called gray eye is generally nothing but
a blue eye with more or less yellowish tint,
| appearing gray on account of the shadowy
cast of the eyebrows. The height of a man
described as medium" is. very vague, and,
on the whole, half the runaway criminals,
| or unknown dead, described by the old, in
definite method, have never been identified
by the published descriptions alone.
THE MEASUREMENTS MADE.
When new prisoner is brought to the
penitentiary he is taken to Mr.. Ray g Office,
| stripped from the waist up, and put through
the most thorough measurements he ever
underwent in his life. His head is meas
ured tor width and length by the caliper
compasses Then he is placed against the
wall, in his bare feet, and measured for
the heighth of body. Metal measuring
scales are attached to the wall, and are
marked off in the metrical system, so that
the smallest fraction of an inch is arrived
at. By other metal marks the distance
reached by the convict's outstretched arms
are determined to the delicate parts of
measurement Ordered to place his hand
upon stand. the fellows middle and little
fingers are measured, the length of his fore
arm recorded, the length of his trunk taken
while seated, the length of his right ear
ascertained, the true color of the eye found
by occupying proper position with regard
to the Light, and many other accounts taken
by the officer with the rule and called off
to the clerk at the desk. The accompany
ing photographs faithfully illustrate the
course prisoner is put through when he
reaches Allegheny.
The purpose is to accurately measure all
the parts of person which have reached
full development and cannot change in
after years.
In the five large blank books of the West
ern Penitentiary Mr. Ray has made classi-
fcation and subdivision of these measure
ments. The same classification and sub
divisions are adhered to in the other peni-
tentiaries jails and workhouses that have
adopted the Bartillon system. Suppose
Joliet Penitentiary in Illinois has reason
to believe that one of the prisoners recently
taken in at the penitentiary in Allegheny
is an ex-prisoner who ran away from there.
Referring to the books duplicate of his
minute description is made out and for
warded to Warden Wright in Allegheny.
He hands it to Mr.. Ray.

The Growth of an Industry Comparatively

In a visit lately to the factory of the
j. G. Blair Company, Manufacturing
Stationers, situated at Huntingdon, Pa, a
DISPATCH representative was interested to
see engraved in handsome letters on a win
dow which commanded one of the most
beautiful views of mountain, stream and
valley to be seen in Pennsylvania, the fol-
lowing quotation: "Accuse not nature, she
hath done her part, do thou but thine''
This seems to have been the motive un-
eight-story brick building in which the
housed, as everything that thought and in
the 200 or more employees comfortable and
to save as far as possible work and
steps in carrying on the business.
1t is surprising that an establishment of
this size can have grown In 80 short time, in
place where light manufacturing indus
tries would hardly be looked tor. To have
advanced in ten years from one man and one
handcutter to the employing of 220 people
in building eight stories high and covering
a space greater than a whole CITY block, is
certainly rapid growth. The reason for it,
however, may be summed up in the axiom,
trite perhaps but appropriate, Excepting
everlastingly at it brings success"
The products of the j. c. Blair Co. are
to be found in over 5000 stationery and
other stores throughout the United States,
and Judging by the samples shown these are
nowhere excelled for beauty and suitability
of design, neatness and care in manufacture,
as well as moderation in price.
