ANOTHER BIBLE COMPLETED.
Rev. Bingham's Translation In the Ian

Rev. Bingham's Translation In the Ian
guage of the Gilbert Islanders.
The first Bible in the language of
the Gilbert islanders was printed re
Gently In the pressrooms of the
American Bible society in the Bible
House in New York city. The publ
cation marks. the end of "a years of
labor on the part of the Rev. Hiram
Bingham, who has been a mission
airy on the islands.
Several friends of the missionary
gathered in the composing room and
listened to Mr. Bingham as he told
of the work of his lifetime. His IA
Their, Hiram Bingham, was mis-
sionary before him, Mr.. Bingham
himself having been born in Honolu-
III 81 years ago. He was graduated
from Yale college in 1858, and in 1856
began his labors ON the Gilbert is
land group, which is $500 miles to
the southwest of the Sandwich Is
lands, being on the line Of the equa-
tor. Three years afterward he un-
dertook to reduce to writing the
hitherto unwritten language of the
natives and began the work of
translating the New Testament. Ill
health forced him to suspend his la
Dor, and it was not until April II,
1873, that he finished the New Tesla
ment.
On April II, 1890, three years ago,
he found himself at the last verse of
the Old Testament. He then came
to America and on May ~, 1892, put
the manuscript into the hands of DR..
Gilman, the secretary of the Bible
society, to be printed. On June II
he received the first proof, and in
IN this city, with his wife, he began
the proofreading 10 months ago. To
read the proof of the last verse of
the last chapter of Revelation and
thus to end his task was the purpose
of the ceremony.
Mr.. Bingham stood in the center
of his circle of friends among the
fonts of type in the most notable
composing room in the world, where
the Scriptures are set in 242 different
languages. The concluding verse was
put in type, proof was taken, a
slight correction made, and Mr.. Bing-
ham read the verse aloud in the Gil
bert island tongue. Superintendent
Thompson then led the way to the
pressroom, and another foreign BIZ
BILE was added to the list printed by
the American Bible society. In the
afternoon several volumes were
bound and presented as souvenirs of
the occasion. The book contains 937
pages.

Carp Peeling the Bark on Trees.

For some months past farmers whose
fields touch the Darby creek near Ard
more, Pa, have noticed that the bushes
and small trees along the waters edge
were dying. An investigation showed
that the bark had been peeled off the
trunks near the ground. Only bushes
and trees that overhang the creek are
affected. The farmers thought it must
be the work Of rabbits, and as the depre-
dations extended for three miles whole
sale raid upon the bunnies was planned.
Herbert A. Enochs says that a timely
and startIings discovery thwarted the
farmers in their crusade. With loaded
gun farmer sat by the stream to watch
for the shrub destroyers when he beheld
a large carp leap from the water and
catch at the bushes. 1t was after fly
that had igh-ed there, but in its en-
deavor to get it tore off considerable
chunk of bark. Then another carp was
seen doing the same thing. They had
actually girdled all the bushes on the
banks for miles in catching fiies.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

The Era of speouiation.

In these days of speculation and of
tremendous fuctuation in Wall street
prices it is not surprising that weak hu-
man nature yields to great temptation.
The wonder is not that cashier, pay
ing teller, a president, a custodian of
trust funds, yields, but that so few
among the large number of eompara-
lively poor men, handling hundreds of
thousands of dollars and in many in
stances securities valued at millions, fall
by the wayside. 1t stands to reason that
where one is detected half dozen es-
cape disgrace, a lucky turn in specula-
ton enabling them to recoup the strong
box and to replace the borrowed assets.
1t may be doubted if any of the long list
of defaulters intended at the outset to
defraud their employers or their custo-
mers. It's the,old story. The unexpect-
ed happened, the money was lost, the
hypothetical securities were sold, and
the inevitable discovery brought ruin
upon the defaulter and shame upon his
family and friends. New York Re-

Tho Tramp Nuisance.

The tramp fraternity has made itself
unusually obnoxious during the hard
times, and heroic measures have been
resorted to for the purpose of suppress
ing it. In San Francisco the tramps
that infested and robbed the docks were
driven out by dueking them in the sea.
In Boston it seems that the sacred
common had literally fallen into the
hands of traInps before the police could
be aroused to sense Of their duty. Pc
destrians were accosted at all hours of
the day and night, and if they did not
give were cursed and even struck, ac-
cording to the hour and the loneliness Of
the locality. Women were bullied and
insulted and children robbed of their
pennies. Finally the police decided to
raid the common and rid it of its bandit
ii. Twenty-Five arrests were made, the
prisoners were sent ito the island" the
common is now safe for travellers, and
children may sail their boats in the frog
pond without fear of molestation. New
