WELSH BIBLES.
Editions Through Which the Book Went

Editions Through Which the Book Went
After Its First Translation.
The date of the first Welsh Bible is
specially interesting. It was published
in the year of the defeat of the Spanish
Armada, in 1888, and serves to re-
mind us what poor provision the
English government made for the edit
cation of the Welsh in the reformed
doctrines. Without possessing a
Bible in the vernacular, it was impossi-
BILE for the Welsh clergy Or laity to fol-
low the reformed service, though this
defect was partially remedied a few
years earlier by the translation into
Welsh of the English prayer book, for
it must be remembered that at that
time none of the people of the northern
Welsh dioceses, and very few indeed in
the south, spoke or understood word
of English.
This edition is so scarce that there is
only one copy, and that imperfect, in the
National library. How little it was
used may be gathered from the fact
that it was not till 1920, thirty-two years
afterward, that a revised edition was
published. After this time other edi-
tions appear at intervals of from ten to
twenty years down to the year 1907,
and at somewhat shorter intervals
down to 1878, which is the date of the
last calendar Welsh Bible in the cata-
logue of the British museum.-Quar-

American Railroad Puzzles.

1t is impossible to get clear and ac-
curate idea of the financial administers
ton of American railroad lines. Many
of the great companies present the APP
pearance of a real chaos, of labyrinth
in which it is almost impossible to find
ones way. This is due to various
causes, not to refer to the desire which
the managers of a company may have
to keep out the light. Many compa-
MES do not confine themselves to trans
portation; they possess mines, they
make commission in merchandise,
they construct and operate elevators,
they operate canals, they are proprie-
tors or lessees of distant lines; more
over, portion of the freight has been
conceded to special companies, who pay
toll, who lend rolling stock to the com
pany, and this company is stakeholder
in these subdiary enterprises. Add to
this that the stations are the common
property of several railway companies,
or belong to particular company. I'm
der these conditions it is easy to see
how complicated the accounts must be.
The consequence is that the capital in
vested changes necessarily, and that it
includes a thousand diverse things.
Most Of the companies declare them
selves unable to state even approx.
mately the sum Of their real expenses.

There are number of potato-ped.

stories have been converging to the

gentlemen carry and with which they
try to delude unsophisticated women.
From all reports there are none such in
Kansas City, for none so far have been
deluded.
The peddler goes to the back-door
with a handful of large, open-eyed,
clean-skinned potatoes, which he offers
for sale. If no sale is made he turns to
go, and then returning as if he had just
remembered something, he pulls pair

spectacles, the following dialogue took
place: ''Oh, yes" said the lady, "you

'Why, yes" replied the potato spec

"And they were Iowa potatoes, were

''To be sure said the pcddler.
"Then," said the lady, ''the potatoes

Safeguards in the Bank of England.

The safeguards adopted by the Bank
of England to prevent that institution
being robbed are about as thorough
and complete as human ingenuity and
mechanism can devise. It's outer doors
are so finely balanced that clerk by
pressing knob under his desk can
close them instantly, and they can not
be Dopened again except by special
process. The bullion department is
nightly submerged in several feet of
water by the action of machinery, and
in some of the banks the bullion de-
partment is connected with the man
ayers sleeping apartments, SO that an
entrance can not be effected without
setting off an alarm near the persons
head. If dishonest official during the
day or night should take even one
from pile of thousand sovereigns,
the whole pile would instantly sink and
a pool of water take its place, besides
letting everyone in the Office know of
the theft.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Little fodder Who Had No Idea Of

An argument arose in lounging

whether men bachelors particularly
are really competent to take care o.

After painful pause a commercial
agent who has the reputation OF being
more than willing that his wife should
take entire care Of his family spoke up.
'sMen can't raise babies. They spoil
'em either by thrashin' 'em or giving
'em candy Then he told how he was
coming back from western trip last
month and went forward to the smoker

looking gentlemen with a long
brier pipe, and around him through the
heavy, smoke-laden air of the car gam
boiled the minister's little niece, girl
Of very tender years.
"Well," continued the story teller,
''the uncle wanted to smoke and read,
and the child wanted to talk. Finally,
to quiet her, he drew forth a paper bag
of grapes and with the injunction that
she must not swallow the seeds, for
they caused Inflammation and indiges-
tion,' he settled himself to his pipe and
his paper.
'Uncle, won't you eat some grapes"'
He took two, carefully separating the
seeds from the pulp, and went on read
ing.
Uncle, please swallow three of 'em
whole, seed n skins n all" And she
actually kept at him." continued the
drummer, without let up until he
got desperate and gulped down three
whole grapes. %
Here he paused to remark that q
woman would probably have managed
to turn the child's attention to the chu-
chu cars or the telegraph poles and kept
it off the grapes. BY way of adjoining
the tale the traveller went on to say
that the last he heard before he left the
smokingcar was a colloquy between
the two, which ran like this:
Uncle, who's those folks going over
the bridge, n where they goin'?'

CLEANLINESS IN SURGERY.

The Cardinal Precepts of the Science OF
Operating In the Present Day.
There are three locations, so to speak
the absolute cleanliness Of which must
be above suspicion before the operate,
is justified in proceeding to his work
These are the surgeons hands, his in
struments, and the integument cover
ing the part of the patients body a,
which the operation is about to be per
formed. How is the requisite cleanli
ness in each case secured? So far as
the hands are concerned, by profust
scrubbing with nail brush in soar
and hot water, followed by thorough
drenching in some antiseptic solution
as that of one in two thousand of per
chloride of mercury; SO far as the in
struments are concerned, by sterilizine
them, that is, by boiling them in water
or by passing them through the flame
of spirit lamp, or placing them in 8
steam sterilizer, and then, when the
operator is ready to begin, by putting
them into receptacle containing ar
antiseptic solution, as, for example.
that of carbolic acid. Lastly, so far as
the patients integument is concerned.
by washing the part first thoroughly
with soap and water, having previously
shaved it if necessary, and afterward
with perchloride of mercury solution,
or, if the part be greasy, by removing
sll the greasy material by scrubbing it
with ether
Without going into further details,
these are the cardinal precepts of the
science of operating in the present day.
OF course, each wound which in this
manner is made under aseptic condi.
tions, as it is called, is kept aseptic by
the use of antiseptic dressings until heal
ing has taken place. The results of this
method of treatment of wounds are
nothing less than wonderful in compari.

geons were able to obtain. What hap.
pens after, say, the amputation of a
limb, nowadays? The rule is-nothing.
Nothing, that is to say, beyond the un.
eventful cOnvalescence of the patient,
The dressings are not touched unless
the temperature and the pulse Of the
patient indicate, by some disturbance,
that it would be expedient to examine
the wound. The temperature and the
pulse are the surgeons guide; he takes
his cue from them. Nothing can be
amiss in the wound if these remain
normal, and thus it follows that a large
wound, such as that following an am
putation, heals soundly from first to
last. without any suppuration. What
a contrast with that which obtained in
former days! Suppuration was then
thought to be an indispensable part Of
the healthy process Of healing. In the
present time, on the contrary, a surgeon
is held to have failed in his practice of
the principles of surgical cleanliness If,
in wounds originally aseptic, srppura-
ton occurs. Nineteent Century.
