American army that we had in many

might hold on to the updoiRg of the

strong that some Of the leading officers
in the army went to Gen Wheeler and
Or opposed that he fail back from the posi-
tion we had captured. In other words,
we should abandon sll we hsd gained st
such a fearful cost and assume the posi-

40 weaklings. They had demonstrated

LIN LIE OlLb MILL IoND.
they were piquant little snapshots of
various fictitious pleasantries, firta-
tions and general carryings-on be-
tween that very charming, witty, and
imaginary young lady, Maudie, and
himself. At this period he certainly
eyed girl; yet there passed absolutely
nothing, in deed or speech, to which
Exeter Hall Meeting might not have
listened unstirred.
Still, innocent as the relation was, it
supplied the foundation of his fin de
steele "Maudie" yarns, but written up
a h~undredfold with all the cunning of
the old dramatic style. And undoubt-
eddy there was good work in "Maudie."
After the real girl and himself had
been for an evening stroll he used to
sit down and "do" a "Maudie" sketch
right away, so that lively young lady
had actually a ground layer of human
nature in her, which no doubt was the
cause of the favor she excited.
Andrew Wilson's stay was lengthen-
ed out considerably. He had wished
before leaving to close his "Maudie"
things with a farewell sketch, his fic-
titious Maudie was not a marrying per-
son, and it would be unsatisfactory to
leave the man still fluttering after
her.
But here he found himself at {
standstill; a separation, even in story
has something inevitably mournful
about it, and mournfulness had not
hitherto characterized the series. All
one morning he gnawed his pen in
vain; the fantastic airiness he wished
for would not be enticed from his ink
pot.
Then he decided to wait and see how
the living she and himself parted; not
that he expected anything-the affair
had not been serious enough, thank
goodness; nevertheless, he might pick
up a wrinkle or two as before.
Even his last benevolent intention
was frustrated. Positively stupid! ]

REWRITING THE BIBLE.
The st%upendous Task Being Undertake
by an EDPlIshrnan

The stupendous Task Being Undertaken
by an Englishman.
Because the bible in its present form
Is not as lucid as it might be to him,
an English enthusiast has determined
to rewrite it. All the Greek and He
brew idioms and names in the two tes-
taments will be replaced with pure
English words and names. The person
who has undertaken this %stupendous
task is Howard Swan of Howard
house, Arundel street, London, w. c.
He thinks after the bible has been
transformed and rewritten it will be
more beautiful and instructive, and
more widely read. In regard to the
work he has commenced he said re-
Gently: Il expect that the rewritten
version will give enormous stimulus to
spiritual energy throughout the land.
1t may take a little time to become
popular, but | believe there are thou
sands and thousands who only require
to be shown the proper road. My YER
sion of the bible will, l hope, point the
way. What l propose is to produce
quite a different effect by the employ
ment of pure English, and l am on
WINGED that a reunion of the higher
thought of the various religions will
be attained by the reduction of all for
eign idioms to English. In my YER
sion the book of Job will be headed

The Spirit is Safe | need hardly tell
you that l have been moved to under
take the work by very serious consid-
erations, considerations which involve
deep and important theological prob
lens. But into the philosophical basis
of my argument in favor of a bible in
a new and, as | venture to think, i'm
proved form, it is not necessary to go.
And yet there is no reason why any
thing should be withheld, for these
very questions of religion at which I
am now limiting will be in the mouth Of
everybody before another year has
gone. The effect upon international
questions will be of immense import
ance. Now, as to my work on the BIZ
BILE, it is simply this. The bible at
present is written in three languages

do is rewrite it in pure English idiom,
which shall be as vigorous in express
sion as the original, and shall at the
same time have deeper and more last
ing effect upon the minds OF those who
read it. Then there are the Hebrew
names. How many people do you sup
pose understand the meaning of these
names? Do you know what Barraba,
means? You don't. Perhaps you can
tell me what Ezekiel signifies? You

Bones of a Mastodon.

The bones Of a prehistoric monster
have been discovered on a large farm
about a mile south of Batavia. While
Philip and George Baker, dairymen,

Ell struck an obstruction, which, on

1t turned out to be al ivory tusk in
a splendid state of preservation. A
portion of the tusk is of the consist
ency of chalk. One end of it, however,
was not injured, and was of solid
ivory. 1t is five feet in length, and
about five inches in diameter at the
widest end, and at the point about two

about SO inches long, was also found.

OF more material views, to simply
feeling off his feed. Both were equal
ly in error.
He had already given promise as a
recruit to the first ranks of the llterati.
Perhaps his leading line" as he him
self termed it, lay in the dramatic So
cial sketches of the interesting menage
a trois order. In fact, so hard did he
labor that a months rest and country
air were the imperative orders of his
doctor,
Andrew reluctantly consented to the
country air, and, with a mental reser-
walton on the part of his beloved So
cial studies (as he had the ~audacity to
call them), to the months rest. In due
time he found himself settled in the
best parlor of an old-time farmstead.
The household consisted of the farmer,
stout and jovial, his wife, a shrewd,
quick, ~good-natured little body, and
their daughter, a quiet girl with beau
tiful liquid eyes.
One afternoon in the second week it
was brought suddenly to young Will
sons mind that these great brown
eyes betrayed a peculiar CLEAN when
they rested on his own august person.
The girl had an extremely retiring dis
position, of which it was difficult to
form definite views, but he determined
to mark her henceforth more closely.
When, later, she entered the parlor,
he CHANGED to be doing on a sofa by
the window, with the strong afternoon
sun on his face. She bent forward to
lower the blind. Her hands lowered
over his hair, her white blouse rustled
against him, and when she stepped
away, though nc word had been spok-
en-, two red spots burned on her usu-
ally pallid cheeks.
"By Jove! that girl is certainly gone
on me-" he said when alone; and he
prided himself on his discovery with
the pride OF a man who did that kind
of thing for a living-though 1t is prob
able any ordinary fool would have
made it days before.
1t must be understood that Andrew
Wilson was a thoroughly honorable
man; Irritation, mild or otherwise,
was not in his way. He had always
been too engrossed in writing his
spicy, social tales to pay much atten-
tion to mere flesh and blood. Besides,
he was a very shy fellow, and scarcely
knew how to conduct a concrete affair
of this sort-except on paper.
Yet he was far from being displeas-
ed; and in the next few days, while
keeping his own actions down to the
severely commonplace, managed to abb
sorb a good many mental impressions

d%isdainful, anxious, moody in it's va
riety-the lingering touch of her hands,

Then the idea OF some immediate
sketches done from life entered his
head; he called them "Maudie and T..

Many passages of the Scripture are
like hundreds of wayside flowers,
which for months and years are I'M
noticed by us, simply because we have
been accustomed from our childhood
to see them without STOPPING to pluck
or to examine them. Many OF the
hcmeliest flowers would appear trans
cendentry beautiful if we would take
the trouble to study them infinitely,
to magnify their parts, and to bring
out their constituent elements. And
so we were taught to read the Bible
so early. In the family and in the vii
lage school; and we have so often
walked along the chapters that we
have beaten a dusty path in them,
and some of their most precious and
beautiful things are neither precious
nor beautiful to us, simply because we
look at them and not into them

The Good Side.

We may, if we choose, make the
worst of one another. Everyone has
his weak points; everyone has his
faults. We may make the worst of
these; we may fix our attention con-
stantly upon these. But we may also
make the best of one another. We may
forgive, even as we hope to be for
given. We may put ourselves in the
place Of others, and ask what we
should wish to be done to us, and
thought of us were we in their place.
BY loving whatever is lovable in those
around us, love will flow back from
them to us, and life will become a
pleasure instead of a pain; and earth
will become like heaven; and we shall
become not unworthy followers of Him
whose name is Love.

n CARD PARTY.
It Degrades Women and Brings Out
Their Worst Traits.

NON Vohbo CIV
The card party as a breeder of every
and all uncharitableness is as potent a
factor as the church fair, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. The av-
erage woman of intelligence and COM
mon sense will scorn to fill her home
with cheap trumpery, imitation bronze
and coarsely painted china; but let
some inspired hostess offer the least
beautiful of ornaments as prizes and
every woman will play as If her soul
were at stake. She will keep silence
"a frowning, ominous silence-for
three hours at a stretch, playing all the
while. She will set her nerves on edge
watching her partners play and strain
her eyes trying to see her neighbours
hand. And when the worst comes to
the worst she will throw caution and
honesty to the winds and cheat and
fib and, if necessary, fght-all for that
prize! This is the downfall of the
skillful player. The envy and hatred
of the bad player are caused by her
inability to get eve a respectable
number of gold and red stars on her
tally card. She does not know how
to make the most of a good hand or the
best of a band hand. and she becomes
finally that unenviable species of fora,
the card party ~wallfower." No one
wants to be her partner, and good
players even dislike to play against
her. She becomes a most unhappy
bore. For this type of card lover
only one remedy. She must learn.
Out Of her-the bad card ~player-need
has grown a new vocation, that of
card instructor to women of good So
ciety." The instructor undertakes 10
teach whist in so many lessons, euchre
in so many, and all the other games
and the various ways in which they
the played. The social and domestic,
as we'll as the scientific value of the
art of playing cards well, should be
impressed upon the Eighty m who
pins her hopes and ambitions on a
prize" Some husbands like cards at
home, as we'll as at the club, and it is
always better to know than not to
know how to play games which may
at some time help to enliven a dull
evening or a rainy day.

Railroad Fconomv.

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables.
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is a service of
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. 1t generally
takes four men to turn a locomotive,
and while they are doing so their reg
ular work is abandoned.
Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the 60-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with sue. success
that the Park Street turn-table in
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant,
and it cost on an average of less than
one-half a cen for each time the table
was turned. When this same table was
operated by hand it cost IL cents for
each engine. The yearly saving is
about $709.

The day is long and the day Is hard,
We are tired of the march and of
keeping guard,
Tired of the sense of a fight to be won.
Or days to live through and of work
to be done,
Tired of ourselves and of being alone.
And all the while, did we only see.
We walk in the Lords own
We fight, but tbs He who nerves our
arm,
He turns the arrows which else might
harm,
And out Of the storm He brings a
calm.
The work which we count so hard TO
do,
He makes it easy. for He works too.
The days that are long to live are His.
A BIZ OF His bright eternities,
And close to our need His helping ia.
