The first complete translation of the
Bible into the English tongue was eff
fected by John Wycliffe about 1880. This
was the Lollards' Bible, and large
number of manuscript copies must have
been written and circulated. for ITO
copies are still in existence. There were
also many transcripts Of certain books,
as well as of the whole Bible. Wycliffe
could not go to the original texts, so he
translated from the Vulgate, or ac-
cepted Latin version. 1t was not a per-
feet performance; but the reformer was
prevented by death from revising it, as
he doubtless intended to do.
The revision, therefore, was under
taken by John Purvey, and completed
in 1888. 1t is curious that the whole of
Wycliffe's Bible was not printed as one
book until 1850, when it was published
under the editorial care of the Rev. Jo-
siah Forshall and Sir Frederic Madden.

Saturday nights? One Saturday night
Smith 81 Murray had over 300 bonnets to
deliver after dark. 1t is bad enough to
be walked up in the midst of ones first
sound slumber which follows the con-
seriousness that the labors of the week
have been well performed to take in your
wife's new bonnet bill pinned on the
back. But think of having to wear away
the early morning hours of the Sabbath
in trespassing about destroying the phys.
ical and mental, moral peace of the COM
munity in that way.
Still there are men that enjoy this sort
of thing not only one night in the week,
but seven-the Boston and Albany s'call-
ers," for instance. They go about all
over the city andWest Springfield thump-
ing ON the doors and windows of the men
connected with the railroad freight serv-
ice to tell them when it is time to get up
and go to work, and If there is an acct
dent ON the road during the night the
resident officials hear from them in
very pointed way. And these men grow
fat in this sort of work--the continual
disturbing of the peace of their fellow
men--and build them happy homes on
the proceeds of such labor. Springfield

A WOMAN WHO LOVES FRUIT.
She wan.. s.ora where she can say

She Wants Store where She Can Buy
II Cheaply and Eat 1t ON the Spot.
''New York has big standing army,
fruit standing army, mean" said a
woman the other day, "and know of
no other city where such fine fruit can
be procured at one corner, anyway, of
almost every block of buildings in the
town, and at all seasons of the year.
These open air fruit stands do an inn
mense trade in the aggregate, I am sure,
and paying low rents as their owners do,
they are able to sell fruit more cheaply
than people who keep regular fruit
stores and pay proportionate rents.
''Such merchant, when he thinks of
his landlords bill, must often envy the
poor man who sells just as good fruit
across the way under the cover of an
awning or an umbrella, and is able to
set cheaper price ON his commodities,
because his expenses are so small.
~ have often thought, however, that
merchants who keep fruit stores might
add largely to their revenues If they
would provide tables and seats where
their customers could sit and devour the
fresh fruit when they buy it. Many
people are attracted by the sight of pur-
pie grapes, rosy checked peaches or mel
low pears as they pass by the windows
where the fruits are displayed, who long
to sink their teeth in the luscious things,
and yet do not like to do so in the street
and cannot be bothered carrying the
fruit home. Moreover, they do not feel
like buying enough to make it worth
while sending it home, so they pass on
and forget it.
"Now, if they knew that inside the
store there were a table and q chair or
two that they were welcome to use, with
perhaps trifing extra charge for table,
napkin and finger bowl, am sure wom-
en- especially, who are out shopping and
who like sweet things and fruits, would
often and often drop into such stores
and buy u peach or two, or bananas or
oranges, ETC., and eat them on the spot.
eff one goes into a restaurant and or
ders fruit, one pays q bigprice for it, too
big; but il l, for one, could buy luscious
ripe fruit at all seasons of the year in
this way at the ordinary rates, would
be only too glad to eat it on the spot,
standing up at a plain, unvarnished
luncheon counter il need be."-New

Future of Terra del Fuego.

The notions of Terra del Fuego which
prevailed ten years ago have been conn
pletely upset by recent explorations.
The latest travellers there are Messrs.
Rousson and Willems, who have re-
turned to France from their scientific
mission in Terra del Fuego. These ex-
plorers believe the northern part of the
island can be turned to good account,
and that the day is not far distant when
large herds and focks will be raised upon
ranches established all along the river
valleys A large district north of the
Straits of Magellan, in Patagonia, which
was wholly unoccupied twelve years ago,
is now full of little farms devoted to
raising sheep and cattle.
The owners have prospered so well
that the territory they occupy has be-
come too crowded. 1t is impossible to
extend this business further north, and
the farmers will therefore be compelled
to turn to Terra del Fuego, which win
receive the overflow from Patagonia. On
Dawson Island, near the northwest coast
of Terra del Fuego, Jesuit fathers are
now engaged in stock raising, and for
two years or 80 fine ranch has been
established on the northern coast OF
Terra del Fuego, where there are today
about 10000 sheep and 5000 cattle. The
English have been the first to establish
themselves in this territory. Stock
raisers are now reaping a profit of SO
per cent. per annum. The explorers say
the availability of the island for stock
raising has been amply proven, and
there is now no doubt that prosperous
future is before Chicago Times.

says she TUX fire in the mid-ocean, an
every soul was lost 'cept the second

that poor Jack worked like hero, but
he saw him go down wi his own eyes.
Poor Miss Hillard's like on crazy sence
she's got the news
The girl rose to her feet and crept
down to the sitting room with face
like death.
''Tell me the TRUTH" she gasped, ''tell
me, mother, what is it about Jacll?"
"He's lost" put in Miss Tabitha; ''his
ship burnt at sea; the pilot got here this
mornin'."
Janet crossed the room and sat down
on the doorstep. The same familiar
sights and sounds, the same old life, and
Jack gone
A dull, aching pain filed her heart, a
pain that nothing in all the after years
of her life could ever alleviate.

Christmas day came, and, according to
an established custom, Farmer Gresham
and his wife went to dine with an old
uncle; but Janet begged to remain at
home.
The great logs moldered into glowing
Goals. Presently the old watch dog be-
gan to bay in his kennel and footstep
crunched the sleet upon the porch. She
took the candle in her hand and opened
the door.
A tall figure confronted her--a man
dressed in sailors garb and all bronzed
and bearded and changed, but she knew
him in an instant.
"Oh, Jack-Jack, are you alive? Has
God sent you back to me?'
His strong, clasping arms, his kisses
on her lips and face answered. She chung

her into the room and up to the glowing
fire.

"Your own forever more, please God, /"
she answered solennly.
Then, sitting beside him in the fire.

He Wants to BE Saved from His Friends.
"Why do | keep my proposed trip TO

to a person who had asked him the ques-

glasses, cigar holders, jewels or some
thing else.
cts a nuisance in the first place to
buy these things, especially as you are
likely to be in hurry at times. Then
when you arrive back in New York you
are likely to have trouble with the GUS
toms officials, because your friends al
ways expect you to get their articles in
duty free. Besides, no one ever pays
you in advance, and you have to go
around dunning the people. To cap the
climax, you often buy things that donot
suit the persons who have asked the IA
vor of you, and their disappointed looks
or words make you feel unpleasant, to
say the least Consequently, having
been through these experiences several
times, I now keep my intended depart
ure as secret as possible. New York

Feeding Furnaces Automatically.

The consumption of sawdust and
shavings in sawmills effects great
economy in fuel. While sawdust is easily
handled the larger chips from planners
are not SO readily disposed Of, and are
often 50 bulky that if manipulated in
the ordinary way much labor is en-
tailed. An ingenious mode of overcom-
ing this difficulty has been introduced,
consisting of a system of ventilation and
boiler firing that removes all the chips
and dust from the machines, transports
them to a special building and thence
carries a supply to the boilers. The
whole system Is entirely automatic, and
is under simple and perfect control

THE FATHERS PRAYER.


Lord, though his sins were scarlet
And he went far astray,
These long years have prayed thee,
Show him the narrow way.
Though with the swine he feasted,
Oh, bring him back to thee;
My youngest born, oh save him,
Wherever he may be.
The only prayer now left me
Is, Lord, that thou wouldst turn
His heart to thee in sorrow,
Thus, Lord, that he might learn;
Though sin may not come nigh thee
The sinner may find grace;
If he repents him truly
Thou wilt not hide thy face.
For years, Lord, has he WANDERED,
Let him arise and say,
Against thee have sinned,
No longer here stay;
II will return unto thee,
And at thy feet will pray,
That, like the prodigal of old,
be not turned away"
1t may be, Lord, that never
He will come home to me;
dare not pray for that, Lord,
While he is far from thee.
Yet, Lord, all things are possible,
And mighty is thy grace;
1t may be the day cometh
That shall see his face.
The face of him who left me,
My youngest born, my pride;
There came day deem'd it
Far better he had died.
But now my prayer is only,
Lord, thy will be done;
1t may be in thy mercy
Thou wilt bring home my son.

Daily Consumption of Water in London.
London is said to require daily sup
ply of more than 150,000,000 gallons OF
water. OF this 15,0OO,0O0 gallons come
from deep wells in the chalk, the rest
from other sources, principally from the
rivers Thames and Lea. The water from
the chalk, though very free from organic
impurities, is exceedingly hard, and, if
not softened, costs the householder end

Catarrh of the ears and catarrh of the
Eustachian tubes often cause deafness.
Catarrh of the stomach loads thestomach
with tough phlegm and interferes with
digestion. Catarrh Of the gall bladder
obstructs the outflow of the bile, which
is absorbed into the circulation, and thus
gives rise to jaundice. Catarrh of the
bladder is a dangerous disease, from the
difficulty Of getting rid OF the mucus.
