A WONDERFUL VOLUME.
Bible Copied by Esonk Centuries Ago
 and Now in Washington.

and Now in Washington.
 The most beautiful volume among the half million in the congressional library in Washington is said to be a Bible which was transcribed by a monk in the sixteenth century. It could not be matched to-day in the best printing office in the world. The parchment is in perfect preservation. Every one Of it's thousand pages is a study. Tbe general lettering is in German text, each letter perfect as is every one, in cold black ink, without 8 scratch or blot from lid to lid. At the beginning of each chapter the first let ter is very large. usually two or three inches long, and is brightly illumin- Gted in red and blue ink. Within each of these capitals is drawn the figure of some saint, some incident of which the chapter tells, is illustrated. There are two columns on a page, and no- where is traccable the slightest irregu- larity of line, space, or formation of the letters. Even under magnifying glass they seem flawless. This precious volume is kept under a glass case, WHICH IS SOlcIlElSS lllUCO to SHOW that all the pages are as perfect as the two which lie open. A legend relates that young man who had sinned deeply became monk and resolved to do penance for his misdeeds. He de- termined to copy the Bible, that he might learn every letter of the Divine commands which he had violated. Every day for many years he patiently pursued his task. Each letter was wrought in reverence and love, and the patient soul found it's only companion ship in the saintly faces which were portrayed on these pages. When the last touch was given to the last letter the old man reverently kissed the page and folded the sheets together. The illustrated initials in perfection of form and brilliancy of color surpass any thing produced in the present day. With all our boasted progress, nothing either in Europe or America equals it.

The Government Seal.

When on July i, 1776, the continen- tai congress declared the English American colonies to be free and inde- pendent states, they appointed com mittee to report a device for seal the emblem of sovereignty. That com mittee and others from time to time presented unsatisfactory devices. N- nally, in the spring of 1782, Charles Thompson, the secretary of congress, gave to that body 6 device largely sug- gested to John Adams, then United States minister to the court of Great Britain, by Sir John Prestwich, an eminent English antiquary. This sug- gestion was made the basis of a de- sign adopted by congress, June 20, 1892, and which is still the device ot the great seal of the republic

Ike Newspaper S2om.

The following experience of a newspaper man, taken from the Albuquerque Citizen, will be met with sympathetic response in the hearts of many readers. The writer evidently was suffering from a severe attack of the blues, and the way he sums up his trials and tribulations is, to say the least, very interesting:
 A newspaper man has no busi- ness to seek office. It is his busi- ness to try and get an office for the other fellow; to sound the praises of the candidate and keep quiet his own feelings to whoop her up for his man and let his man forget all about him when he is elected; to defend Lis candidate against the unjust attacks of the opposition, and see that whatever favors his candidate has no bestow goes to the other fellow. It is his busi- ness to boom the city for all it is worth, month after month, and
 hen see $100 worth of printing go out of the city because ten cents can be saved in doing so. It Is the business of the newspaper to give every enterprise a frequent "send off," and then catch sheol because he had failed to record the fact that some prominent citizen had his delivery wagon painted To
 ubscribe liberally to every public, charitable and church entertain ment, advertise them for nothing. pay his own way to everything, and then be called prejudiced and mean spirited because @ column is not devoted to that particular flair Do you wonder that there are many cranks in the newspaper business? It is bound to make either @ crank or a philosopher out of a man

PerisheG Oaa the 3esers

Nathan Willard, his son Charles and two other men, all of Campo, near the peninsula line, are SUD- posed to have perished on the desert. They left Campo with two horses and wagon, two weeks ago, for prospecting trip on the desert, and Q week later their horses ap- paared in a famishing condition at rancheria, where they were re- cognized as belonging to Millard's party. Two Mexicans, crossing the desert later, found the bodies of three dead men, who are SUD- posed to be those of the missing men.
 Today three of Millard's sons, with George McCaid and Andy Elliot, left Campo for the desert. They are we'll supplied with water, and will bring back the bodies if they prove to be those of the Mil lard party. Otherwise, they will bury them and endeavor to solve the other mystery. The place where the bodies are lying is near the Jacumba wash. in the vicinity. of where the Breedloves and Fish met their death two years ago.
 Willard has a wife and IA children.-Los Angeles Herald.

Italian POiSOnerS.

The beginning of the eighteenth cen tury witnessed an epiden.c of poison ing in France as well as Italy. The business was begun in France by two Italian poisoners named EXili and Glaser. The prisoners were discovered by the aid of the clergy. Exili and GIaser were sent to the bastile, where they both died. The latter lived long enough, however, to communicate the secrets of his business to the infamous St. Croix, who became the teacher of the equally infamous Mime. Brinvil- Hers. St. CrOix was instrumental in the death of large number of persons, and finally was himself found dead in his laboratory, where he had been overcome by the noxious vapors of the poisons he was distilling.

COURAGE OF THE FoxHoUND.

The Animals Endurance Depends Much
 Upop CompanionsIlip Of Its Kind.
 The foxhound's courage is not shown when in isolation. No hound alone will attack a fox with the deter imitation of a terrier, yet the passive courage Of the foXhOund is declared by the London Spectator to be immense. To see tagging hounds come up through field of horsemen, to watch the pace with which they charge the thickest fences, and the endurance they show during a long run will con- vince most of this. We heard once curious instance of combination sup plying courage. A pack of English fox hounds were taken to France for wolf hunting. But when wolf was reused each hound, as he caught the scent, dropped his tail between his legs and refused to follow. When, however, some French hounds used to the wolf had been added to the pack, the fox hounds hunted eagerly. But now thev ran with their bristles up-to kill, not to eat. The fox they regard as q dinner; not so the wolf. The large, straight fore legs, deep chest and level back of the foxhound show what he really is-the highest development of united speed. strength and endurance. Ten miles to the meet, five hours hunting at an average of ten miles an hour, during which two foxes are run down, and ten miles more before sup per, is but an ordinary days work. We do not think we are exagGerating when we say that many hound could cover one hundred miles in a day with out being greatly distressed. But for this he would need companionship. Alone he would probably tire sooner than a slim pointer or loDg-legged set ter, whose steady gallop over grass or heather is another marvel of animal endurance. But the courage of coop eration is less interesting, even if none the less creditable, than the dash of the greyhound.

Dry Rain.

A peculiarity common to rain in the Bermudas, the Windward islands, the Hawaiian group, and the Alaskan wa ters is that it isn't very wet. In none of these regions do the natives fear the rain, and even foreigners soon come to know that they take no harm from being caught out in a storm.
 1t was noted by men on the ships lately patrolling Behring sea that portion of the deck slightly protected dried out white, even in the midst of Q shower, and that wet clothing hung under a slight shelter on deck dried in an atmosphere apparently saturated by hard rain.

An Arizona correspondent Ii the Irrigation Age writes: ''As in-. credible as it may seem, Arizona's irrigation enterprises will, when completed, represent an ag- gregate outlay of $10,000,0OO. This seems a large amount, but when taking into consideration that irri- gation projects have made such handsome returns on money in vested, 1t oil y proves that bright business men and capitalists have discovered that such are number one investments and mean to profit thereby, The above named amount will bring under cultiva- tion in this Territory 6,0OO,OG0 acres of land which have heretofore been considered arid and irreclaim- ably. It has been proven, how ever, that irrigated lands are more fruitful than any other.
 The Chino Champion well says, "A newspaper pretending to be cosmopolitan in character that bends so low as to incite and en- courage neighborhood quarrels, or makes itself a mouthpiece for malicious personal abuse, certainly forfeits it's title to the respect of decent and order-loving people"
