THE LAPLAND BIBLE.
1t Was Translated by a Murdere
While He Was in Prison.

1t Was Translated by a Murderer
While He Was in Prison.
The Lapps have the Bible in their
own tongue and few stories are more
interesting than the account of it's
translation. Over thirty years ago a
serious OF religious riots took place in
a number of villages in Lapland and
among the rioters, was one Lars
Haetta.
During the riots several homicides
occurred, and Lars and some other of
his companions were committed to
prison on charge of murder, relates
the New York Home Journal. They
were found guilty and several were
hanged, but in consideration Of his
youth Haetta was condemned to
lifelong Imprisonment. COmmiserat-
ing his condition, his keepers and the
| prison chaplain extended to him such
favors as could safely be granted to
a life-long prisoner, and finding them
rewarded by good conduct took
especial pains to teach him to read
and write.
Lars became interested in the Bible,
grew day by day more fond of read
ing it, and finally formed the bold
project of translating it into his
native tongue. Through many weary
years the labor went on, for Lars was
no great scholar and the Lapp
language, as may bereadily supposed,
is not fluent literary medium Of
thought.
But finally the work was done, the
Bible translated and printed in the
language of Lapland and the remain
der of Haetta's sentence was commut-
ed. He was living as late as 1870,
and, though an old man was still act
i've and often served parties of travel
ers as guide.

Smith and his wife have every luxury
that money can buy, but there is one
thing lacking to their happiness. Both
are fond of children, but no little voices
prattle, no little feet patter in their
beautiful home. 81 would give ten
years of my life if 1 could have one
healthy, living, child of my own" Smith
often says to himself. No woman can
be the mother of healthy offspring I'M
less she herself is in good health. If she
suffers from female weakness, general
debility, bearing-down pains and func-
tional arrangements, her physical con-
ditiOn is such that she cannot hope to
have healthy children. DIR. Pierce's

= CHURCH REVERE.
The time, a lovely Sunday morn,

The time, lovely Sunday morn,
The place a country church;
The organ pipes in its squeaky way,
From out its lofty perch.
The sermons dry as dry can be,
The preacher worn and old,
His voice cracks like the organs notes,
AS he harangues his fold
But when he's through, from out the loft,
There bursts happy song
From maiden's lips, who's sweet and
fair
And good as the day is long
And what to me is the sermon dry,
Or the organs uneven pace,
AS l listen to my sweetheart's voice
And look on my sweetheart's facet

Why Not TOpp?

There is a quaint anecdote circling
about in the widening eddy of the bac-
carat gossip, which perhaps is worth
recording on it's own account, but
which is set down here by way of pre-
lace to another matter 1t is related
that Lady Brooke contided the secret
of the Tranby Croft scandal to an
other titled dame, who last autumn
became q widow. Before that time her
relations with a man whose name l
believe is Hartopp, but who is famil-
iarl y known as "Topp,' had been no.
torious. The first time after her wild
owhood that she met Sir William
Gordon Cumming the two had rath-
er acrid verbal encounter, to which he
put an end by asking her in the pres
ence of number of mutual friends:
'"Why don't you make an honest man
of Topp?" In revenge she circulated
the scandal-New York Times.

Is Alum Poisonous,
Halls Journal of Health. !

"This question has caused a gooo
deal of discussion. Alum is used by
many bakers to whiten their bread,
enabling them to use an inferior
flour. 1t is most extensively employ
ed as q cheap substitute for cream
OF tartar in the manufacture of bak-
ing powders. 1t has not been consid-
cred Immediately dangerous; although
If continued it induces dyspepsia and
obstinate constipation. But the fact
that many cases of poisoning have
occurred from the use of alum, puts
the question in q more serious aspect,
and prudent people will exercise eau
ton in the selection of baking
powders.
"Under what conditions then, does
this substance-formerly used only
for mechanical or medicinal purposes
become poisonous? They are GER
tainly obscure, and at present we can
only surmise what they may be.
We suspect that the cause exists in the
individual poisoned; some popularity
ofthe constitution producing amorbid
change in the secretions of the stom-
ach, with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or the
secrections may be healthy but in I'M
usual proportions, and that these less
orgreater proportions in combination
with the alum constitute poison.
"For example, two parts ofmercury
and two parts of Chlorine form Gallo
mel, which is not poisonous, but
change the proportions to one part
mercury and two parts of chlorine,
and we get corrosive sublimate, which
is a deadly poison.
"Then again, we know nothing OF
the constitutional peculiarities. Why
is it that one person can eat all kinds
of green fruits and vegetables with
impunity, while the same course might
cost another individual his life? One
person can handle poison ivy and
sumac without being in the least
affected; another is poisoned If he APP

ague, while the others will enjoy excel

Foods that are wholesome to some
persons are actually poisonous to
others. This is especially true Of
some kinds of fish. There is no safety
in taking alum into the stomach, as
it is shown to be always injurious
and often dangerous"
The Scientific American published in
q recent number a list OF alum and
ammonia baking powders, which is
of great value at this time. Follow
ing is the list complied from official re
ports. Powders marked with star

A STORY OF A PREACHER.

Jack Brighton was one of my dear
est and most peculiar friends.
He was a preacher-pastoro of little
church in a small Alabama town. He
was not more than thirty when l met
him, unmarried and one of those
strange beings who have strange and
mysterious experience stamped upon
their cOuntenanccS, unreadable except
to the extent that something wonder
full or some great struggle has been
gone through.
knew him we'll for two years, was
with him daily and found him most
devOut Christian, charming companion,
and of magnificent brain powers. l
was undoubtedly his most intimate
friend, but of his past life he never
uttered word to me. Five years be-
fore he had suddenly appeared in the
town, and that was all known of him.
For q while the people wondered at the
veil drawn before his life, but his noble
nature and actions soon caused them to
forget all else save the good he was
doing.
wondered at first and made several
attempts to penetrate the mystery,
but soon fell into the opinion of the
people, and only know him as he then
was.
Handsome, brilliant and genial, he
was man who would attract any to
him, and it is no wonder that all loved
him. One day was called away for
week. While in city not far dis
tant I received a telegram. 1t read
thus:
'Am called to Heaven. leave papers
addressed to you. Do with it as you Ike.

was terribly shocked, and thoughts
of many of my friends strange actions
entered my head. fought it, but the
idea was constantly present that he
was insane and had been mildly so all
along. Now he had become raging
and would commit suicide.
It was a horrible thought, and, tC
refute it, l took the first train to town.
l reached it and found everything
quiet and peaceable. Where was
Jack? l asked; and several told me
they had seen him enter the little
church but a few moments before.
With a sigh of relief l entered, but
saw no one l searched for an hour
there, at his home and elsewhere, but
with no better result. Others soon
joined in, and on into the night we
hunted him. Many declared he must
be in the church. but he was not. His
bible was there, and in it was a man
uscript addressed to me. l hurriedly
thrust it into my pocket and continued
the search until way into the next day.
Then, broken down. fell asleep.
awoke the next night and inquired fol
Jack. The people were still looking
for him, but not a trace had been
| found.

berated myself for having not read il
before. give it to you just as it was.
