THE FEMININE SCRIPTURE.


A reporter called recently at the homo
OF Miss Susan Ii. Anthony to ask Tor
her views on the new Woman's Bible
the first volume of which has recently
made its appearance, says the Roches-
ter Democrat and Chronicle.
"Did YOU have anything TO do with
the new Bible?" Miss Anthony was
asked.

I knew of its preparation and the rea-
son for 1t. My own relations 10 or

but | don't know that l can explain

slider the book as historical. made up OF

of the past, but not as inspired by COD.

women have dared TO do what the men
have always done they are called I'M

"Originally the orthodox women were
TO write their views and translations
also but when the time came they aid
not put in an appearance and so only
the opinions OF the radical women
were published. The idea that Mrs.
Stanton or any other of the women ex-
pected to translate or write new
Bible for women's use is absurd. They
have simply taken the Pentateuch and
revised such passages as refer TO wom-
en- and written their commentaries up
on them.
"And why have they not as good a
right to do this as have a body of men

Bible is written by men and therefore
its reference to women takes on the
color of the manner in which they were
regarded in those days. In the same
way the history of the restoration was
written by men. and very little was said
of the noble deeds Of the women of the
revolution. though We know how they
stood by and helped the great work,
and it is the same with history all
through"

Di Murska was of medium height, OF
exceedingly lean figure, and not ex-
traordinarily prepossessing in features;
yet she could be very entertaining.
In 1876, with Mr. Charles f. Pratt.
her piano accompanist, she concertized
through Austria under Signor De
Vivo's direction. Her lark-like war
bling created sensation, yet she was
never popular, owing to her peculiar
temperament and manners. She re-
fused TO be interview, or to see any
person at her hotel, although she de-
lighted to spend her time in efforts to

In the colonies she married Mr.. AL
fred Anderson, clever music-teacher.
and month thereafter Di Murska was
a widow. Then, a month later, she
married again, this time with Mr.. John
Hill, a pianist, who is now the leader
of De Wolf Hopper's orchestra.
Six years ago this wonderful singer
returned to this country, broken in
health and voice, and in such wretched
Indulgence that her former accompanist
Mr.. Pratt, obtained some $500 in sub
scriptions from managers and artists
to enable her to return to her native
land. She sailed Immediately for Hun
gary, only to find her grave, for upon
her arrival she met her now poor and
degraded daughter, and that broke her
heart, while the lost girl shot herself
at her mothers grave. To the credit
of General Elder, IL must be told that
when he heard of the double tragedy

road to extinction that the buffalo
went. The big-horn, one of the great
est attractions to sportsmen hunting in
the Canadian northwest, is being in

paid for heads and sets of horns. The
matter was brought to the attention of
the Natural History society of British
Columbia last week, and the society has

great curtain of her life dropped Slowly
and finished the career Of a glorious
singer and a brave, noble woman.
1t was in 1870 that the musical folk
of Europe proclaimed the voice OF the
new Hungarian prima donna, lima I'll
Murska, to be phenomenal, and TWO
years later Impresario Max Maretzek
brought her from London to New YORK
in the very prime of her vocal capaDiii-
ties. Such flexibility and such an ex-
tensive range had Di Murska, that she
was deemed a marvel; in fact. she was
the only singer of her time who could

she was married to General Elder, an
Austrian field marshal, but her eccen-

husband, and her daughter was then
left with friends while she toured Eu-
rope to fill numerous engagements, IN
which, for a time, the fleXibility, COM
pass, and beauty of her voice held opera
patrons captive.

woman, whose voice. through heredity

4 medical man expresses the belief
that a person could live for any length
OF time and take heavy exercise all the
while on no other food than sweet milk.
His conviction is the result of personal
experiment. says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. He wanted to establish the fact
that persons convalescing from sick
ness may grow stronger with no other
nutriment than sweet milk. and that
they are not obliged TO take some
thing solid 10 eat. as so many people
imagine. He holds that many con-

result of oyertaxing his weak stomach
by putting solid" food into it, and he
maintains that the old belief as to bread
being the first essential of human life
is shown by his experiment to be err
roneous. His test was TO live for thirty
days with only sweet milk as a nourish-
ment In the whole time he lost five
and a half pounds in weight, but no
strength. He even attributes the loss
Of weight TO the warmth of the weather
and to excessive exercise on the bicy-
Gle, and the daily manipulation of 16-
pound dumbbells and other heavy
weights. lie took more exercise than
usual in order TO test the thing fairly.
On the seventh day of the experiment
he ran several foot races with a skillful
runner and was beaten in each race.
On the thirteenth day he again pitted
himself against the same runner and
did the best OF the racing, which GER
tainly would tend 20 confirm his state
mcnt that no lost no strength during
the thirty days test. He drank four
pints of milk daily for the last week.
lie thinks a healthy person should take
about FIVE pints of milk daily when no
other food is being taken. His practice
was TO drink milk at intervals of two
hours during the day, commencing at
O'clock in the morning and continuing
until 10 AZ night. After that he would
take no more until next morning.

How the Charming Buyer Got to the
Windward OF the Merchant.

Windward of the Merchant.
what won't merchants nowadays do
in order to gain business advantage p"
asked the drummer from Ohio of a Buff
falo Express reporter, and then par
italy answered his own question by
saying:
Il went into big department store
last week. found that the buyer for
my line of goods was a woman, a
mighty handsome woman. l made an
appointment for her the next morning
and when l arrived with my samples
/ found half dozen statesmen ahead OF
me and had to wait my turn.
THE buyer was busy just then with
fellow who sold cheap jewelry. He
was a susceptible youth and the girl
was stringing him for all he was worth.
You'd have sworn she was dead in love
with him. She called him by his first
name, leaned her head confidingly
against his as they looked over the
samples and insisted on pinning the
goods into his scarf and shirt front
to see how they would look. AS a re-
suit, she bought all she wanted for a
song. That young fellows employers
are probably wondering yet how he
came 10 sell so cheap.
Some male buyers are just as un-
scrupulous, though" continued the
drummer from Ohio, though
not always on their employers
side. l went into store in
Providence, r. !. The buyer
shivered and remarked that it was very
cold and that he didn't have any coal
at home. l excused myself, obtained
his address and sent him five tons OF
coal that afternoon. The next day
called around at the store and took .
