newspaper which is real curiosity. 1t

with five rudely drawn cof1ins, which
are supposed to contain the bodies Of the

TIE DIVINE NAME.
The lnenabIo Word That II Never Spoken

The lnefablc Word That II Never Spoken
by Many Israeiites.
Tho Rev Dr. Wise, president Of the
Hebrew Union college at Cincinnati.
has given bis view of the ancient jew
ish rendering of the name Of the Deity.
He s;ys taat the term Jehovah, " the
inenable tetragrammaton, is never pro-
nouncod by many Israelites They use
tho word "Adonoi, - which signifies
"the Lord. The translato1s Of the
Bible followed this custom, rendering
the word Jehovah" as Lord " In
ancient times the Pharisees replaced the
tetragrammaton by Shem. They used
"Shcmo, - which is also Biblical, as
the sacred name, and thia name is yet
retained, to some extent, among the
Jews But it would appear from pas
sages in the Psalms that Adonoi, or
Lord, for Jehovah was more ancient
even than the times Of the Pharisees. 1t
thus occurs eight times in Psalm lxxxiv.
1t also appears in the book of Exodus,
where Jehovah had been used in the
original Hob1ew. This substitution
would seem 10 be older than any other,
and It is yet common among all Jews
DR.. Wise says lac has found that the
ancient translatiohs testify in favor of
"Adonoi "
Looking at the English translation of
the Old Testament, it will be found
that the name Jehovah appears in the
books Of Genesis, Exodus, Judges, the
Psalms aud Isaiah. 1t is not III the New
Testament. New York Sun

THiMBLEs. .H..s'=s.77 .H..s7
A Brfsd but Clear Description OF How
They Are Manufactured.

The thimble is a Dutch invention,
and tho first one was made in 1854 by
hlversmith named Nicholas Van Bens-
choteIl. Originally it was called "thum-
bell, because it was worn on the thumb.
In making thimbles the gold and sill
yer ingOts arc rolled out into sheets Of
the desired thickness aud cut by a
stamp into circular pieces of any re-
quired size. These circular pieces are
bent into thinble shape BY means of a
solid metal bar that is q the same size
Us the inside Of the intended thimble.
This bar is moved by machinery up and
down in bottomless mold Of the out
side Of the same thimble, and each time
the bar descends it presses one of the
circular pieces or disks into thimbie
shape.
Vixen the thimble is shaped, the next
work is to brighten, polish and decorate
il. Eirst, the blank thimblo is fitted
with a rapidly revolving rod. A slight
touch Of a sharp chisel cuts very thin
shaving from the end of the thimble,
a second chisel does the same on the
side, and third neatly rounds off the
rim. A round steel rod, well oiled, is
held against the surface of the revolv-
ing thimble, and it is thus given nice
polish The inside is frightened and
polished in a similar manner, the thim-
bic being held in revolving mold.
Then "a delicate, revolving steel
wheel with raised, ornamental edge
is pressed against the blank thimble
and prints the ornament seen just out
side the rim. Another steel wheel Gov
erod with sharp points makes tiny in
dcntaiions all over the remaining blank
surface of tho thimble.
The last operation is to wash it thor
oughly in soapsuds, to brush it care
