Maxwell Sommerville, in his
book, Islam on the Meinam, From
the Gulf to Ayuthia, says that in
the main business quarters of Bang
kok pawnbroking is a leading call
ing. Adjoining the pawnshops were
rickety shops, booths and stands,
where indolent dealers are prepared
to supply all the wants of the pass
ersby, providing it does not cause
them too much exertion. The
BONES, or priests, were always nu-
merous.
"They pass from house to house
begging, though by the church it is
considered that they are giving the
people the privilege of thus contrib
uting something for the sustenance
of the cult. They are in the habit
of extending this privilege to the
people every morning. This is one
of the institutions, not only of the
church, but a custom universally
recognized and approved by the
people. These BONES, wrapped in
their yellow cotton garments, stand
in coteries of two, three and four in
front of each house, saying not a
word, but holding out their bronze
bowls for rice and their netted bags
for contributions of fruit"

The Oldest Rock.

The oldest book in the world to
which positive date can be assign
ed is an assortment of proverbs
somewhat after the style of the
proverbs collected by Solomon. The
work is accredited to Ptah-hotep,
an Egyptian king, and Psychologists
assign to it an antiquity of at least
5000 B. G. Abraham was called to
leave his home in Ur of the Chal-
dees, 1921 B. G., SO that this volume
was written LOO years before the
beginning of Jewish history. The
deluge is placed by most chronicle
gists at B. G. 234S, SO the book, if it's
dating is correct, must have been
written before the flood. Methuse-
lab was born B. G. 1917, SO that this
papyrus was prepared and these
proverbs were collected when the
Oldest man on record was lively
young fellow of 800 years.

Livingstone's Bible,

AT Matthew's church, Edin-
burghs Heeently a mission exhibition
was held and among the relics on
show were several that had to do
with Dr.. Livingstone. Included in
the latter was the Bible that DR..
Livingstone carried with him across
Africa in his first great journey of
exploration. The Bible, which is a
dumpy octave volume from the Ok
ford University Press, is dated 1885,
and has the explorers name legibly
written across the title; also from
top to bottom of the page, in his own
handwriting, there is the legend:
1.-THE Bible which went with me in
all my wanderings in Africa. David
Livingstone.
This volume was lent by the ex-
plorer's daughter, Mrs. Bruce of
Edinburgh, who in reply to a ques-
ton addressed to her informs us
that the Bible came home in one of
DR.. Livingstone's boxes which he
had left in Bombay. He evidently
only used this special one during
his first explorations and had an
other during his later years.-Peri-
