The question OF uniform legislation Il at
tracing more and more attention throughout
the country. The desirability OF uniformity in
the laws OF the several states in regard to
marriage and divorce, wills, descent aud dis
tribution Of property, forms OF deeds, acl1nowl-
edgments, and kindred topics, has been felt for
many years. The slme may be considered
true regarding the laws regulating the rela-
lions of employer and employee. Many of the
States have cooperated TO form a commission
to secure uniformity. and from time 60 time

GLADSTONE'S MISSING FINGER.

lie Sent the Finger Stall to be Painted
Into His Portrait.
The Hawarden Parish magazine gives
an interesting reference to the accident by
which Mr.. Gladstone lost one of his fin
gers. The accident happened fifty-one
years ago at shooting party in Hope
parish. 1t was caused probably by CON
clssion ON his reloading the second barrel
or gun. MIR. Gladstones foretnger was

He Bought the House,

Do You know l have taken great
fancy to that honest old Vcrmonter, Mar

he fell on his neck and wept.
Father. said Marvelle, swallowing .
sob, -! shall never come home again till
own the house of Mr. Brown on the cor

finest place in the village and the old man
had long had an eye upon it. After q
few years Marvelle returned to his native
town and WAS warmly welcomed by
father and mother, who felt that thei1
poor boy was without a home. They
shed few tears over him and then de

with them.

Country Climbs

Country clubs, says the Bazaar, rely
very largely on the patronage of women
for their prosperity. A country club
that ladies like usually succeeds, and one
that depended for it's support on men
and horses would be very liable to
languish. To see the aggregation of
muslin on the piazza of successful
country club is /; spectacle fit to rejoice
the soul of the social philosopher. 1t
makes the old clubman wonder where
he is and what has happened to him;
but if he grumbles it is either because
he has always been used to grumble
about something at the club. or else be-
cause he is a very grabbed individual,
and fixed in habits that it is too late
to change. If he feels that he must
seclllde himself. there is usually re-
treat provided for him; but as a matter
of fact, he seldom retires to it. Summer
girls are charming pictures and good to
have about one. The clubman realizes
that, and, besides, he has been used ut
the summer, hotels and wherever the hot
weather has found him, to share his
amusemcnts with womankind. and when
he once gets accustomed to the rules of
the new game at his country club, he
finds that he likes it, n club that is
half women is different, but the differ
ence is very seasonable in summer.

Seven Bibles,

The world has seven Bibles. They
are the Koran of the Mahommedans. the
Eddas of the Scandinayians, the Tripl-
TAXA of the Rutldhists, the Five Kings of
the Chinese, the Three Vedas of tn.

The Koran is not older than the Sew
enth century of our era. 1t is 1, com,
pound of quotations from the Old an'.
New Testamcnts, the Talmud and the
gospel of st. Rarrabas.
The Eddas of the Scandinavians were
published in the Eleventh century, ana
arc the most recent of these seven Bibles.
The Buddhist Tril,itaka contain sublime
morals and pure inspirations. Their au'
thor lived and died in the Seventh century
before Christ.
The sacred writings of the Chinese are
called the Five Kings. king meaning

the ethico-political duties of life. These
sayings cannot be traced to a period high

The three Ecdas are the most ancient
books of the Hindoos, and it is the opin>
ion of great scholars that they are older
