English Bible Distribution.

Nobody seems to know even approx.
mately what is the total output of Bibles
at the present time. There are reckoned
to be about 40 centers of production and
distribution, but what is the extent of
their work there are no means of ascer-
tanning. OF distributing associations there
are four principal ones--the British and
Foreign Bible society, the American Bible
society, the Scotch and the Dutch OF
these the London society is by far the
largest. 1t is managed by a committee of
SO laymen, six of whom are foreigners
resident in or near London. OF the re
manning 30, half are members of the
church Of England and the other half are
representatives of other Christian com
munions 1t has gross income of about
9250, 600 The societies affiliated with

various parts of the world, and it has be-
tween 400 and 500 Bible women engaged
in bringing the Bible and a knowledge of

Don't GrumbIe at Dinner.

Why Is IL that in most households the
dinner table becomes dumping ground
for the wholesale plants of its membersf
Probably because this is the only meal of
, the day when, the entire family meeting
together, each one feels 1t a duty to air a
few personal grievances in order to seek
consolation from the others
Out of Difference to digestion, If for no
other reason, dinner table conversation
should be of the spicicst, but this fact is
lost sight of in the general desire of every
body, from papa down To the youngsters,
to serve up only those topics which have
married rather than made the days happi-
ness.
Hardly has the man of the house finished
his carving duties before he falls into an
animated financial discussion with his
wife Household expenses are rehashed,
bills grumbled over, and the cost of living
recalculated with tedious regularity.
Mother, in her turn, eagerly pours into
any listening ear her domestic woes. The
days errors below stairs are infinitely re-.
corded She signs over Bridget's butter
waste, declares that the butchers indiffer-
ence to her order is becoming intolerable,
and so on.
Then the small boy (poor little target
for family flaw picking) comes in for his
share of criticism. His failures at school
are relentlcssly raked up and all sorts Of
punishmcnts threatened unless there is
speedy reform.
If there are guests present, this talk Of
the inner circle is, for courtesy's sake,
given IA less personal flavor, but only then.
GOOD cheer and plenty of it, is not the
motto of the average family dinner.-Ex

How the Tartar Hordes Ovsrran Persia
aud Turkey.


In The st. Nicholas series Of articles on
"Historic Dwarfs, by Mary Shears Roo
evJ. there Is a paper on Casan, who was
In the service Of the great Genghis Khan.
Mrs. Roberts says Of the occurrence that
led To the Tartar invasion of Europe:
Genghis carried on his victorious battles
toward the west until he reached the ter
ritories of the mighty sultan of Khuarezm
Here he halted, having no Immediate do
sire to go beyond these limits. He sent
ENJOYS with presents and peaceful mes
sage To Mohammed the shah, and but for
III unfortunate occurrence the Mongol
armies would probably never have entered
Europe.
Soon after the Interchange Of civilities
between the two sovereigns, some Of the
sultan's subjects plundered caravan OF
Tartar merchants, and Genghis demanded
satisfaction for the outrage. Instead Of
giving up the chief offender, ms Genghis
required, the shah beheaded the Mongol
envoy and sent back his attendants with
out their boards. This was an insult that
must be avenged, and soon the two en-
pires began great preparations for war.
The sultan was master OF many coun-
tries, among which were Persia and much
of India. He collected an enormous army,
but i'm case of failure he had no other re-
cruits to fall back upon. Genghis, with
his oVerpowerng troops, rushed on all
parts of khuareZm Mt once. They swept
from city to city, leaving nothing behind
them but ashes and ruins The sultan S
armies were almost always defeated. Mu-
hammad, driven from one extremity TO
another, escaped to an island in the Cas-
plan sea, where he died in sickness and
despair, leaving what remained of his en-
pire To his son Jalaluddin. Jalaluddin
was brave and courageous, and did all
that man could do 10 ayenge his father S
death and To prop up his lettering throne.
Hemmed in by the loss of city after city,
he was at last driven to the banks of the
Indus. Here was fought IA desperate bat
sle. The Tartars led 10y Genghis Khan in
person (whom little Casan always follow
ed, far outnumbered the Turks. The
mighty army of the sultan had been re-
duced To few hundred men, who fought
with undaunted courage till forced to flee.
Jalaluddin, knowing that all was lost.
stripped himself of his armor, threw away
all his arms save his bow, culver and
sword, and mounting a fresh horse
plunged into the river 90 feet below. With
admiring gaze Genghis and Casan stood
watching the fearless horseman.
In the middle of the stream he turned
and emptied his culver i'm defiance of his
enemy, and soon after was seen to mount
the opposite bank. He passed the night
in II tree TO keep clear of the wild beasts.
Genghis sent men To pursue him, but he
escaped To Delhi He managed To recruit
few soldiers from the beaten Turks, but
his spirit was broken. He could not en-
dure exile, and after many misfortunes nc
returned to his own country and died in
obscurity. More than six centuries have
passed away, and still the ravages of the
great Khuarezm war have not been entire
ly repaired.

BANG OF rharAR CHILDREN.
wild Franks OF Mongolians Under the
Lcadership of the Dwarf Casan.

Mrs. Mary shears Roberts writes of the
famous Tartar dwarf Casan in her series
of "Historic Dwarfs' in st. Nicholas
Casan was noted warrior during the
reign Of Genghis Khan, and revealed a
daring spirit even i'm boyhood. He gath
cred band of wild boys under his leader
ship, and Mrs. Roberts gives the following
account of one of his FRANKS:
When they came together, they found
themselves on a greonsward where drove
of magnificent horses, owned by one Tin
Kin, was quietly pasturing Casan CURLY
ordered each To mount "A eourser as quick
ly as possible and To gain neighboring
plain at all speed.
The tiny dwarf set the example. Spring
ing from the ground with great agility, he
grasped startled stced by its name, and
by "A skillful maneuyer was on It's back in
an instant. His comrades followed suit.
The fleet footed animals charged ahead and
soon all the Tartar boys were drawn up
before their small leader. Here Casan,
without saddle or bride, put them through
all the military exercises he could think
Of IF we should ever be called upon To
go to war, =" he remarked, eve should be
found soldiers already trained for battle.
A true warrior should manage his courser
by word or touch, or even glance"
Now, according to the Tartar code, the
theft of horse was punishable by death.
Tin Kin, the owner of the herd, soon dis
covered that some of his choicest animals
were missing, and off he started in hot
pursuit, vowing vengeance on the mis-
creants. He soon came in sight of the
evildoers, but his rage gave place to aston
ishment when he found his superb steed
mounted by half grown children who Were
going through various exercises under
the command of dwarf. Before he had
time to speak Casan came charging to
him, saying:
"We have not stolen your horses, as you
may think. These are my soldiers.
wished to teach them to ride well, and in
order To do so l borrowed some of your
coursers. You, who know their value best
can surely find nothing wrong In our ac
tons On the contrary, you should be
pleased to have your animals appreciated
and can assure you we have found them
worthy the highest praise.
The owner was 80 taken aback at the
dwarf's harangue that for moment he
stood speechless. He soon however, re-
gained possession of his wits, and ex
claimed: "You appear to be queer char
acter. Come to me with your comrades
and we will talk the matter over together. y
The little cavaliers with one accord &C
cepted the invitation, rode back to the
tent of Tin Kin, breakfasted with him
and the result of it all was that firm
friendship was established between the
Tartar horse merchant and the reckless
little dwarf and his followers.

Stories About Bishops.

A privately printed volume about the
famous Atheneum club i'm London has
some good stories about bishops, many of
whom are members of it, Perhaps the
best is that of the clerical dignitary who,
being anxious to consult one of the fathers
on theological point, asked "A servant of
the club 'if Justin Martyr was in the
library" Il don't think he's member,
my lord, " was the answer, but I'll 90
and ask the porter. " The curious behavior
Of bishop is thus described by an eyewit-
ness: GAS l stood talking outside the
Athenaum the other day | saw bishop
a humble suffragan drive up i'm n han
som and bid the (unpaid) cabman wait
while he went into the club. a minute or
two later out came real bishop, who
guilelcssly got into the waiting hansom
and being mistaken by the cabman for
his original fare, was straightway driven
off. Then issued the sutfragan, whose in
quiries for his cab led To his being in
formed by second cabman that It. had
been taken by another gent in leggins
Piqued at this ribad ailusion to the epis
copal garb, the suffragan turned on his
heel. But as he replaced his purse i'm his
pocket l marked the frown pass into u
smile of satisfaction when he realized how
the wind was tempered to tho shorn
lamb. "
