ABOUT EIELES.

The finest and largest collection of
Bibles in the world is said to be that at
the Bible house Of the British and Fer
eign Bible society, in Queen Victoria
street, London.
The "Wiclled Bible" which said
Thou shalt commit adultery" and
brought fine of ,0O0 marks to its I'M
happy publisher for Enthusiastically
leading q weak world astray, was issued
in 1882.
Bible printing in England is done "by
privilege of the queen" privilege held
by only three establishments, the OK
ford press, the Cambridge press and
Messrs. Scottiswoode & Eyre, the
queens printers,
India paper, which has revolutionized
Bible making, is said to be Il mechanical
mystery and a trade secret, known to
only three men. 1t is made at the VOL
vercote mills of the Oxford press, and in
order to preserve the secret no cmploye
is allowed to be in touch with more than
one stage of the process, The use of this
paper has reduced the thickness of the
Bible by one-half.
One of the best manuscript Bibles
which have come down from ancient
times is copy made by Thecla, noble
Christian lady of Alexandria inthe fifth
century. 1t was brought from Alexan-
dria to Constantinople and given by the
patriarch to the English ambassador
for presentation to his sovereign, James
l., and remained in the possession of the
English kings until the royal library
was presented to the nation by George
II.

She was visiting in the city, and she
was the prettiest girl in the room.
When she stood up to sing the other
girls regarded her obviously. a pretty
girl who can sing is doubly dangerous,
and they considered that the visitor had
already received more than her proper
share of masculine attention.
While she was arranging her music
and whispering to the accompanist the
two girls just behind the piano were ex-
changing condolences.
81 do think it's shame" said the
first girl, veXedly. "She's captured all
the men already with her airs and
graces, and if she sings well-and l
Just know she does-we wont have a
bit of fun tonight"
80, yes. we WILL" answered the sec
ond girl. smiling happily. "We'R be
all right"
But the other wasn't to be so easily
consoled.

one who knows all about her little
tricks, too, for all the girls in the club
are talking about it,
"T asked her." said the second girl,
calmly. you'll know why in a min
ute. Just wait Bit"
Two minutes later the first girl
leaned over the other and touched her
arm.
"Why, she makes awful faces" she
whispered, delightedly. "She's posi-
lively ugly when she opens her mouth
that way"
81 know it," RESPONDED the second
girl. with satisfied smile. "That's
why I asked her to sing"
"You clever Garlinr!" exclaimed the
first girl; and only the fact that there
were others present kept them from
hur~ing each other as they urged the
visitor to sing again.-Chicago Tribune

There has been q good deal of talk

when DR.. Merillat said the femur WAS
the lower end. He admitted, however.
that Drs. Airport and Merillat agreed
mat II was hogs femur, but he said
DR.. Airport asserted it to be the head q.
q femur. while DIR. Merillat said il was
the lower end. 1t was Professor Dor

witness DR.. Airport emphatically de-
MED. in an interview after courts adj

to the stenographic record, which sub.

William Charles was present, and "a a

bone. The reason he gave for saving
that was that there were SO many ham
bones about the factory yard that looked
exactly like it. The next day he brought
collection of them to the experts. DR..
Merillat then said ii was the tibia or
shin bone Of a ham, and a long discus
sion between him and DR.. Airport fol-
lowed. The point on which they were
grounded was in considering Professor
Dorsey's testimony that it was the head
Of femur.
Finally DR.. Airport scratched of some
dirt and found the nutrient canal, and
that settled the point that 1t was the
lower end Of a ham bone, and DR.. Mer-
Hat at that time agreed with him, and
the discussion of it's identity was at an
