The .are.t Book on Earth.

Bibliomaniacs in all parts Of the world
will be delighted to learn that a copy OF
Bonaventures "Speculum Vite Christi"
rare and precious Caxton. has been
discovered by Mr.. William May. the pub
lie librarian at Birkenhead, across the
Mersey from Liverpool. Mr.. May was re-
Gently rummaging through a lot of dis
carded books from a lawyers library. He
was startled to find among them an old
black letter volume attached to another
aged work. At first he thought that he
had found simply specimen of Cations
print Subsequently he discovered that he
had come upon an even greater rarity
than he had imagined.
For several days Mr.. May was inclined
to doubt that the book he had found was
really priceless. After consulting many
authorities, however. he found that he
had in his possession a copy of Bonaven-
lures "Speculum Vite Christi" as II is
spelled in the original. This edition was
printed. by Wynpyn de Worde in 1894. the
year in which he returned to the use of
Cations types. Its exceptional rarity
consists in the fact that IT is the only
edition in which Cations No. type was
ever used, the type in this case being used
for the side notes.
There is only one other copy of this
precious book known to be In existence,
according to the Messrs. Blades and
Dun, the great authorities on Caxtoni-
ana. This copy is owned by the Earl of
Leicester. The earl is so careful of the
book that he has never put II on exhibit
ton. even refusing to send IL to the great
Caxton exhibition of 1877. He has not al
lowed experts to examine IT. Among the
greatest treasures of the archbshop's
library at Lambeth there are four soli-
tary leaves from this book that are
guarded as among the most valuable rel
les of early printing. From these Mr..
Gordon Duff was obliged to take his ex-
amples for his recently published Fac
Smiles of Early English Printing"
For May years the No. type was a
subject of dispute among Bibliomaniacs
Eventually the question was settled to
the satisfaction of all experts by means
of copy of an Indulgence preserved at
the Dublin university conformity with the
Lambeth leaves
Although not the most valuable book in
the world. Mr.. Mays treasure may be
considered practically the rarest, there
being only two copies in existence. In
spite OF this fact, and the great money
value connected with the copy found at
Birkenhead, the copy found had been used
as a scrap book for children. 1t is illus
trated with a great number of beautiful
CaXton wood cuts which had been used
to amuse babies instead of thrilling Bib

president by the republicans. Is the
leading political manager in his state.
New Jersey republicans selected him
for that Office long ago. When it was
known that John w. Griggs had been
elected governor Of the state Mr..
Hobart's friends asserted the astute
New Jersey politician was the one
man to name for the presidency.
Mr.. Hobart is the New Jersey member
of the republican national committee
and has demonstrated beyond contro-
versy his splendid capacity for politics.
He long ago won his spurs among the
national leaders Of the republican party
for his brains and political acumen. 1t
was he who originated the idea OF run
ming Griggs for governor and carried
his idea through with brilliant success
Three weeks before that election he
predicted: I'VE shall win by 10000 or
nothing" Even the most sanguine Of
his friends laughed at him, but when
the victory was won he was over
whelmed with congratulations, and his
boom for the vice-presidency was
launched.

AS he believed that they suffered more
Injustice and persecution than any
other race or nationality. Wherever
there was any movement for the bene-
fit Of his people. he was found playing
leading part.
Only one child. son. was born to
him. and he died some years ago. He
had no use for his wealth except as
means of dong good. He once said OF
his charitable methods
Il am DESTROYS of doing something
with my wealth to make the lot of the
miserable easier. II one could take his
money when he went, he might not care
to dispose of it in this way. But 1t
seems much better to me to look on its
beneficial distribution myself than to
leave it to be disposed Of by requests.
That seems like taking 1t from your
heirs And have no family. had
son, but he died. have two adopted
sons, but they need no help. So there
are only my wife and myself"
The systematic persecution of it's
Jewish subjects by the Russian gov
eminent and the efforts of Baron
Hirsch to aid his coreligionists brought
him worldwide note as a philanthro-
pist. He contributed enormous sums
to help suffering Hebrews out Of Rus
STA and to start them in more tolerant
countries. Some years ago Baron
Hirsch contributed to an American
magazine an article in relation to this
subject, in which he said. among other
things:
What desire to accomplish. what.
after many failures, has come to be the
object Of my life. and that for which
am ready to stake my wealth and my
intellectual powers, is to give to por-
ton CT my companions in faith the pos
sibility of finding a new existence pri-
marily as farmers. and also as handi-
craftsmen. in those lands where the
laws and religious tolerance permit
them to carry on the struggle for exist
ence as noble and responsible subjects
OF humane government. 1t has be.
come maxim and a typical reproach
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1896-06-18

against the Jews that they have no in
clination for agriculture or manual
labor. This is an error which is con-
PIES but by history. The Jews. as long
as they were politically Independent,
cared for their fields. They drove their
herds and were handicraftsmen. My
own observations and those of others
have proved that it is quite possible to
reawaken in the race this capacity and
love for agriculture. The poor Jew.
who until now has been hated as an
outcast. will win for himself peace and
independence. love for the ground he
tills and for freedom and he will be-
come a patriotic citizen Of his new
home. Some years ago several hum
dred Jewish families were exiled from
untold suffering, in spite Of the great
est hindrances which they encountered.
they succeeded in taking root in their
new homes. These same families
which, few years ago, bending under
heavy burdens. appeared to be only
wandering tradespeople in Russia, have
now become thrifty farmers, who, with
pillow and hoe. know how to farm as
we'll as II they had never done any
thing else. The knowledge OF this
guides me in my work and am now
setting out with all my strength to
accomplish it. This is, in few words.
the idea which leads me in my philan-
thropic work-the motive that lies at
the bottom of the plan"
