4 Bible ESQ Years Old.

A. 7. Stratton, secretary of the Y. NJ.
c. A, brought into our Office a Bible
printed in London in 1910. This Bible
was bought soon after it was published
by John Stratton, and has been handed
down from John TO John till it came
into the present owners hands. A part
of the family record remains. some en-
tries being made in 1862 As this Bible
appeared one year before the King James
version it is difficult to determine what
translation it is, though it differs very
little from the authorized version. The
book is evidently in the original binding
and is in fair state of preservation. The
page upon which the date is found needs
protection or the most valuable part Of
the book viii be lost. 1t Is a rare relic
and is highly priced by the owner

An authentic incident in the career of
General Robert E. Lee is told as an evi-
dence OF his sweetness of disposition and
natural kindness. One day he was in
speeding the batteries over the lines be-
low the city of Richmond. and the sol
dlerS had gathered IN a group to well
come hlm. This action drew upon them
the fire of the Union guns.
The general faced about and advised
the men to go under shelter. But he
old not do this himself. Walking on.
although IN apparent danger, he picked
up and replaced an unf1edged sparrow
which had fallen from its nest near by.
The act was instructive, but perhaps
indicates a really higher endowment
than ability 10 conduct notable cam

A Great Walker.

Henrick Ibsen is methodical walker.
So fond is he of his daily walk that he
takes it rain or shine, and the cotton
umbrella which he always carries has
become part of his individuality. His
favorite time for walking is an hour be-
fore twilight He writes necessarily all
day and adopts this method of resting
his tired brain and body. His well knit,
muscular frame attests his good health,
and he can stand any amount of literary
work. 1t is said of Ibsen that he writes
one year and walks the next.

The Committee on Police met and
passed bills amounting to S319.s0. Two
bills, aggregating S4.4O, for button hole
bouquets for the officers, in the last two
parades, were struck off the list as un-
authorized.
A communication was received from
the Chief relating to the bad sanitary
condition Of the lookup, lack Of ven
tilation, prevalence Of vermin, etc. The
committee realized that there should
be some action, and several members
took firm stand in the direction of
aboishlng the Office of lookup keeper
and putting regular police on duty
there, as it would cost no more, and
make things run a good deal better
The subject was discussed for quite a
time. and finally deferred to special
meeting to be held next Monday night,
when the Solicitor and Chief will be
present, and the whole subject of re-
organization Of the department, the
adoption of rules, etc, gone into.
