SAVING GRACE OF A HOBBN
1t REEVES Hope and Enthusiasm AND
Makes Life Worth Living

ga priceless thing is hobby. The
daily tasks by which hosts of women
support life are favorless barren, AL
most hopeless To such ones hobbs
may offer the dearest hopes of ultimate
freedom from the unwelcome daily task.
1t will at any rate serve to entertain
and give point and flavor to an other
wise blank existence" is the position
taken by Carrie e. Garrett discussing
Woman's Dreams and Hobbies in
The Woman's Home Companion.
Hobbies have the power to concen,
trate and absorb the scattered enera:es
which might otherwise be expended i'm
purposeless f1irtations, building super.
huous bonnets, reading cheap sensations,
gosslping away precious moments pick
ing out our friends foibles, dissecting
our own emotions and wishing vaguely
for everything which is attainable. Il
the hobby did nothing else but prevent
these frivolities, it would be a boon to
humanity.
"Man found out the value of hobbies
long ago Almost every man who is
good for anything has purpose which
he thinks is quite the most magnificent
one which man could pursue 1t is no
matter whether it is lawmaking, pill.

Curious Biblical Fragments.

While the Trellis written Bible was
undoubtedly intended for the use of the
grown up scholar, in whose case fair
acquaintance with the sacred volume
could be assumed we have another
species of Biblical fragments, represent
ing the Reader Without Tears of the
old world. They are written in large.
distinct letters and contain as a rule the
first verses of the book of Leviticus,
accompanied or preceded by various
combinations Of the letters of the alpha
bet which the child had to practice up
on. Sometimes it is the fragments form
ing the conclusions of books, or, more
correctly, of whole groups of books,
such as the end of the Pentateuch, tho
end Of the prophets and the end of the
Photographic, that yield us important
information, for Ii some cases they pos
s"ss appendices or colophons that give
1ne date OF the manuscripts as we'll as
the names of the owner and of the
scribe
Occasionally we come upon a good
scoldlng, as when the colophon runs:
"This pentateuch Cor psalter) was died.
lcated by N. NM, in the year -, To
the synagogue -. 1t shall not be
sold, it shall not be removed, it shall
not be pawned Cursed be he who SELF
it, cursed be he that removes it, E" etc.

Oh, replied Schaefer demurely in

brought out his favorite cue, and it fell
to his lot TO open the game.
1.-The opening shot in billiard game

players know, and Schaefer, probably
through indifference, missed it. He not
only missed it, but left the balls close
together near one of the cushions. 1t

"The old farmer carefully chalked
his cue, and after deliberation made the
shot. He then gazed at the balls mo-

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Iu the absence o
public developments in European poll
tics, the papers continue to comment
oh Lord Salisbury's speech.
1t is noticeable that most Of the ar
ticles are optimistic regarding the sit
uation in the far east and the Philip
pines, where the knowledge OF Anglo
American identity of interests is suff'
cient tc prevent colflict, but there is
still anxiety regarding Egypt.
1t is thought probable that trouble

gested that the naturalization of Egyp,
under guarantee of the powers, similar
to the new regime in Crete, be advoca-
ted as relevant T. - Cas- disarma-

OF course Englan- III not listen for
q moment to such tension, but 1t Is
thought possible that Russia will urg e

handicap England's activity in the far
east.
