THE Laps have the Bible in their
own tongue, and few stories are more
interesting than the account of ITS
translation. Over thirty years AGO n
series of religious riots took place In n
number of villages in Lapiand, and
among the rioters was one Lars Haetta
During the riots several homicides oc-
Cured and Lars and some other of his
companions were committed to prison
on a charge of murder. They were
found guilty and several were hanged.
but in consideration of his youtb
Haetta was condemned to life-lon0
Imprisonment. Commiserating his con-
dition, his keepers and the prison chan
lain extended to him such favors as could
safely be granted to a lifelong 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 reading 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
Lspp language, as may be readily sup
posed, 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
remainder of Haetta's sentence was
oommuted. He was living as late as
1870, and though an old man, was still
active, and often served parties of trav-
allara

Do Something Well.

1 WOULD say to all young girls,
whether rich or poor, educated or un-
educated, make some one good thing a
particular point in your life. If you
will be cook or housekeeper, be
thoroughly good. Have a general
knowledge of all matters of interest
and Importance; but have one psrtIcu-
lar branch perfect, so that, if the time
comes when you must face the world
and carve your own fortune, you will
be able to do that something we'll. No
matter how homely the duty, its value
is enchanced tenfold by being we'll
done. 1t is as creditable to be thor
ough housewife as to be good teacher
or accountant--Good Ho usekeepinQ.

the warden OF ST. Stephens College. has decided
opinions on the question OF universities and he has
discussed the matter very thoroughly in his report TO
tho Board Of Trustees which has just been printed
for private circulation. lie says that il appears TO
him that most of the attempts made by colleges TO
become universities abortlve attempts. a. II seems
TO me-" continues Dr. FaiTbairn, that the college is
an institution for developing the capacities Of the mind
and for preparing the mind TO receive knowledge and
10 know how to make Of that knowledge"
DR. Farbairn concludes by saying that " the real
American university Is 10 be found in theological
seminaTies our law schools. our medical schools and
our scientific schools. At oxford and Cambridge the
men are thoroughly educated men they prepared
for investigating any subject, and that is what a
young man coming from Of our American colleges
should be prepared 10 do. II seems TO me that the
reason why we find such profound scholars In oxford
and Cambridge, Is that they have had a thorough
developed and formed, that when they have OBJ
tanned fellOwships they sit down 10 the nvestga-
ton Of any subject. And l think that we are
initiating the two great English universities when
rigdly and determinedly oODlne colleges 10 the
work OF developing and educating the strict sense
Of that word"
