THE GREAT BIBLE oF THE WORLD.
Fabulous Sums of Money That Have
Been Paid for Rare Editions.

Fabulous Sums of Money That Have
Been Paid for Rare Editions.
Fabulous ssums are paid for copies of
the earliest printed Bibles on account of
their rarity. Yet it is known that many
more were manufactured than have ever
come to light, and every now and then
we hear of another copy having been
found i'm some garnet or cellar amid the
rubbish The famous "Mazar.n Bible" has
been sold for more than twenty thousand
dollars, and this is called cheap, for it is
one of the finest specimens of the printers
art ever produced and, most interesting of
ALL was set up and published by Guten-
berg in 1455, after three years of continu-
Gus labor. He only printed a hundred cop
les, but So of these have never been found.
1t is called the Alazarin because the first
copy to be discovered in modern times was
in the library of Cardinal Mazarin
But there is another part of the Bible
called the "Psalterium." because it con-
tains the Psalms only, which commands
even higher price, having been sold for
s25 Co., for but six copies are known to be
in existence. 1t was printed by John Faust
and Peter Schoeffer on parchment in Gu
tenberg's shop and is the first printed
book bearing the year and day of its pub
lication on the title page. This Inscription
reads: '1457 on the eve of Ascension" of
course all of the earliest Bibles We're print
ed in Latin. The first complete Latin Ri

valued at 5000. After that time many cd
tons of the Bible appeared in all Ian
gueses, German. Eng ish, French and
Greek and in 15l4-15l7 was the first POW
glot Bible, one in which the Bible appear-
ed ia various languages side by side.
The most valuable Bibles all date from

my deductions and arrive at my decision.
For example, the woman in the street
proved to me over and over again that
spite of all the efforts made in her behalf
she can't and won't wear strings, and
that wide hats are totally out of the run
ming at presera. Here and there, 1t was
true, I caught glimpses of peachy young
things, of seventeen or Whereabouts, in
dark felt or velvet breads shading their
rosy faces and bearing mammoth six and
eight looped taffeta bows, in geranium
pink or royal blue, directly on the front
of the low crown, but those are the en-
viable prerogatives of youth.
Mrs. Whitney's Hat.
What eight out of every dozen women
wear, when they want to shield their
eyes, are full crowned dark feIts with
close rolled Alpine brims pointed well over
the brows and all the trimming massed
in the bows of these boat shaped cover
ings. That is the safe shape in which to
buy an all around serviceable morning
hat

cost of mummifying a body in this fashion
was a talent of silver, about $500
In the second method the brain was not
removed at all, and the intestines were
simply dissolved and removed in a fluid
state. The body was also laid in salt or
natron, which it is said, dissolved every
thing, except the skin and bones. The cost
of mummifying in this manner was %
minae, or $3.50. The third method was en-
ployed for the poor only. 1t consisted sim
ply of cleansing the body by injecting some
strong astringent and then sailing it for
seventy days. The cost was very small.
If the friends of the dead were too poor
to go to the expense of even the cheapest
of these methods, the body was soaked in
salt and hot bitumen, or in salt only. In
the salt and bitumen process every cavity
of the body was filed with bitumen, and
the hair disappeared. Clearly it is to the
bodies which We're preserved in this way
that the name mummy derived from
the Arabs mumia, or bitumen) was first
applied. The sailed and dried body is
easily distnguishable. The skin is like pa
per- the features and hair have disappear
ed and the bones are very brittle and
white. 1t may be noted that the eyes
were sometimes removed and their places
supplied by others of ivory of obsidian
The hair was also removed and made into
a packet covered with linen and bitumen.
At a late period the flank incision was
covered with a metal plate, on which a
symbolic eye was engraved. The linen
bandages employed to swathe the body
were three or four inches wide; the length
was sometimes as great as 400 yards.

method the brain was extracted through
the nose by means of an iron probe, and
the intestines were removed entirely from
the body through an incision made in the

testines were cleansed and washed in palm
wine and after being covered with pow
dered aromatic gums, were placed in Cano-
pic jars. The body was then filed up
with nyrrh and cassia, and other fragrant
and astringent substances, and was laid in
natron for seventy days. It was then
carefully washed and wrapped up in

MAIL CLERK SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Worry Over Casa in Court Bought BY Vile
Causes Deed.

Boston, July 10.-Richard Metcalf Of
Lynn. a mail clerk employed by the
United States government. shot him
self in a mail car at the South Union
station, early this morning. in an at
tempt to commit suicide. The shot took
effect in the left breast. and it is
thought will cause death. Metcalf is at
the Emergency hospital in an uncon-
sciouS condition. He is As years old,
and worry over case in court in which
he was concerned is believed to have
been the cause for the act. Metcalf
was to have appeared in the superior
court, today.
The charge against Metcalf was made
by his wife and involved another wO-
man. Metcalf apparently was not aware
that his wife had notified the district
attorney that she would not appear
against him, today, and had he pre-
sented himself when the case was
called, the charge, the district attorney
says, would have been placed on file.
Metcalf was foreman on the mail car
which runs on the Plymouth division Of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, but he was suspended by the
government soon after the case was
brought against him. He occasionally
visited his car during his suspension,
and it was during such visit, this
morning, that he shot himself.
