The brotherhood of St. Andrew is

Neither its work nor its mem bership is

Chapters of the brotherhood are now in
existence in all of the large cities OF

ing meetings-such, for instance, as
Stanley's latest record of his travels or
new volume of q popular encyclope-
dia-the secretary must get it for them
when they present a request in writing.
But the members keep themselves so
well posted that books of this kind are
usually voted for in advance
All the money subscribed is not devot-
ed TO buying new books and magazines.
In every society there are a few menu
bers who prefer to read and even reread
Dickens Thackeray, Scott and numer-
GUS other standard writers. The wants
of these people must be and are provided
for TO a reasonable extent. Each men,
Der may draw three books at one time,
but it is not allowed to keepany book for
more than II days. If il is book which
is IN demand. the time is limited TO one
week.
Every two years the books belonging
TO the society are assorted by the secre-
tary into lots of equal value and are
drawn" by the different members in a
lottery. Every member present has the
right TO draw one number. In this way
the cupboard" of the society is kept free
from dead wood" and the individual
members are able to build mp a solid
little library at home. Every member
eventually gets his money back in books.
AS to the cost of running a society Of
this kind, perhaps the best criterion
would be the Rochester society. Each
member pays a shilling at initiation and
sixpence a week dues. If he gets behind
in his dues, he is fined threepence for each
week. If he neglects it for more than
month, his name is dropped. This has
rarely happened IN the Rochester soci-
ETY., although the rules are rigidly In
forced. The money collected in this way
has been found ample to run the society
and keep the members abreast of new
literature.
The weekly meetings are largely de-
voted to discussion. Two or three Of the
newest books are usually taken up. The
talk is mostly conversational, though the
secretary is supposed to exercise some
control OF the meeting and keep. the
members from all talking at once.-New

Tne Tirst American Islble.

In 1868 the first Bible printed in Amer
lea was published in Cambridge. 1t was
unlawful to print an English version Of
the Scriptures, that right being a mo-
nopoly enjoyed by privilege and patent
in England. The one printed in Massa-
chusetts was Eliots famous Indian BIZ
ble,' and although 1900 copies were
struck off they are quite rare, and
''sealed books" as the tongue in which
they are written is literally dead Ian
guage," the tribe and all who had a
knowledge of the dialect being long ex-
tinct.
Eliot's work is unique, being at once a
monument to his piety, perseverance and
learning. Its literary successor was New
mans "Concordance of the Scriptures.
This was compiled by the light of pine
knots in a log cabin i'll one of the frontier
settlements of Massachusetts 1t was
the first of its kind, and for more than q
century was admitted to be the most

The legal meaning of the word "either"
has been gravely argued in an English
court of record. A certain testator had
left property, the disposition of which
was affected by the death of either" of
two persons. One lawyer insisted that
"either" meant both, and in support of
his views he quoted Richardson, Web
ster, Chaucer, Dryden, Southey. the
story of the crucifxion and passage
from Revelation. The judge suggested
that there was song in "The Beggar's
Opera" which took another view, ''How
happy could be with either, were tother
dear charmer away"
In pronouncing Judgment the court
ruled that ''either" meant one of two,
and did not mean both. He said that it
might have that meaning occasionally in
poetry, but never in an English court of
record.-Exchange

FAITH AND REASON.

Two travellers started on q tour
With trust and knowledge laden:
Que was a man with mighty brain.
And one q gentle maiden.
They joined their hands and vowed to be
Companions for season.
The gentle maiden's name was Faith,
The mighty mans was Reason.
He sought all knowledge from this world
And every world a-near il;
All matter and all mind were his,
But hers was only spirit.
II any stars were missed from heaven.
His telescope could find them:
But while he only found the stars
She found the God behind them.
He sought for truth above, below.
All hidden things revealing.
She only sought it womanwise,
And found Il in her feeling.
He said, This earth's rolling ball.
And so doth science prove ii.
He but discovered that il moves,
She found the strings that move il.
He reads with geologic eye
The record of the ages:
Unfolding strata, he translates
Earth's wonder written pages.
He digs around a mountain base
Ana measures with plummet.
She leaps il with single bound
And stands upon the summit
He brings TO light the secret force
In natures labyrinth lurking
And binds 1t TO his onward car
To do his mighty working.
He sends his message DER the earth
And down where sea gems glisten;
She sendeth hers TO God himself,
Who bends his ear to listen.
All things in science, beauty, art.
Uncommon they inherit;
But he has only clasped the form.
While she has clasped the spirit.
He tries from earth to forge key
To ope the gate of heaveni
That key is in the maiden's heart,
And back its bolts are driven.
They partl Without her all is dark,
His knowledge vain and hollow,
For Faith has entered In with God,
Where Reason may not follow.
