BIBlE TEXTS oN com LEtE
Explanation of IA Curious Practice of Eng
lish Goldbpntprs.

People outside OF regular dealers in gold leaf
are occasionally surprised when they uur-
chase books OF the material to ind that the
paper leaves between tho sheets Of gold have
texts of Scripture printed on them. Looking
closer they find that the paper leaves are actu-
ally cut from the Bible. Speaking of this. the
head Of n New York firm which deals in gold
leaf said

in the paper made by the printing serve to
hold the delicate film OF gold in place.
why is it that the Bible il generally used
Simply for the reason that the Bible is usually
printed in small type and is always very evenly
set. and the impression Of the type on the
paper is very slight. but enough to hold the
gold leaf in place without iniuring it. Another
book that is used for the same purpose is the

through light practice, which will con-
sist of kicking, catching the ball and
other necessary practices in preparation
for the opening game of the season,
which, as usual, will be with Trinity
college on the latters grounds. Captain
Mcbride will introduce many new
methods to get the candidates in shape
and it can be safely said that this years
team will be in better condition when
the opening games are played, than
any team which has represented Yale
on the gridiron for a number of years.
Tim Robertson, the trainer of this years
team, is an excellent adviser and the
number of injuries received by members

THE SPRINGFIELD AND OTHER
NEW YORK AND BOSTON
ROITTES

| 1t has been said in favor Of the Bos-
| ton and Albany lease to the New York
| Central that with so powerful a road
| as the lessee to deal with, the New York
| New Haven and Hartford would be
compelled to pay more attention to the
! New York and Boston passenger traf-
fic by way of Springfield and accord
equal terms, in respect to time, with
the Shore and Air Line routes. AS it
is, the New Haven runs one five-hour
train each way every day over the
Shore line and another by way of Will
limantic; while the fastest train by the
Springfield route requires five hours
and 40 minutes to go from city to city.
There is said to have been falling off
in through passenger traffic between
Boston and New York by way of this
city since the New Haven secured an
entrance of it's own into Boston. This
seems to be true, although as many
through trains are now run by the
Springfield route as ever before, with
the exception of a short time prior to
the panic of 1898. And these trains
are we'll patronized, but more largely
than formerly perhaps by passengers
travelling between Springfield and New
York and Springfield and Boston, than
by New York and Boston passengers.
Whether a five-hour train Is possible
by the Springfield route, and whose
fault it is that one is not put on, If it
is possible, are undecided questions.
The Springfield route is only trifle
longer than the Providence route. The
official time tables give the distances as
about 235 and 2S2 miles respectively.
Following the progress of the fastest
train by way of Springfield-that which
leaves either city at noon-we find that
from Boston to Springfield the Albany
road hauls the train at a rate of one
mile every 1853 minutes, including stops.
The New Haven road takes the train at
Springfield and hauls it one mile every
LAG minutes, including stops. 1t thus
appears that the New Haven gives a
little faster average rate of speed to the
train than the Boston and Albany. The
New Haven on its Shore line or Provi-
dence route gives for the five hour
trains rate of speed avera aging one
mile every 1.30 minutes, including all
stops or a faster rate than is given to
the Springfield train on the New Haven
end of the run. Still as the New
Haven does quite as well by the Spring.
field train as the Albany, in the matter
Of speed, the presumption is that the
Albany is the block in the way of five |
hour time by the Springfield route and |
not the New Haven; and this presump- |
ton is strengthened by the fact that |
the New York express mentioned makes |
the quickest time between this city and |
Boston of any train on the road-name- |
", two hours and Is minutes in either |
direction.
The Springfield route is handicapped |
not only by the slightly longer distance, |

THE REAL USE OF BOOKS.

Many good stories are told in legal
circles in Ireland of encounters between
lawyers and Judges In court. John
Philpot Curran, in the early days of his
struggle at the bar, appeared in a case
before Justice Robinson, the author of
several law books and, in combating
some opinion Of his opponent, said that
he had consulted all his law books, and
could not find single case In which
the principle contended for was estab-
lished. II suspect, sir" said the Judge,
that your law library is rather limi-
ted?" ut is very true, my lord, that
owing to my circumstances my library
is rather small" replied Curran. But
I have prepared myself for thiA high
professinon rather by the study of a
few good law books than by the compo-
sition of a great many bad ones" On
another occasion, before Lord Chancel-
lor Glare, he laid down some points of
law which did not find favor in the
mind of the judge. IF that be law I
may as well burn my books" said Lord
Glare. Better read them, my lord"
replied rran.-Chambers' Journal.

A WOMAN'S CONGRESS-

There is a story that Roger Bacon
once invented a Talking Head which
after time chartered so incesantly and
senselessly that in a fit of anger he
broke it up. l do not suggest any ap-
plication of this fable to the Talking
Congress of Ladies which took place in
July last, but l think it may have in
voluntarily entered the heads of some
listeners, with the wish perhaps that
the extreme remedy taken by Roger
in his earlier manner, this is another
story. Whether or not the Talking
Head was secretly pleased with it's own
chatter l know not, but it is surely not
unfair to assume that the Woman's
Congress was pleased and gratified at
its own performance; and, far from
carrying out the historical parallel is
already arranging to hold another at
Berlin next year! Now it is not to be
expected that a year will effect any
radical change in methods and
views, and 1t therefore seems justifiable,
in the midst of the eulogy and triumph
which are sounding on every side, for
the critic to raise an inquiry as to the
value of a conference consisting of an
overwhelming preponderance of women,
which modestly undertakes within the
space Of ten days to discuss the princi-
pal problems affecting the human race.
The radical defect of such a confer
ence, which included a heterogeneous
mass Of opinions, will be discerned at
a glance when it is understood that
theories OF most startling nature,
practically overthrowing present social
conditions, We're propounded from
purely feminine standpoint, and SUBJ
jected in many instances to no sort of
criticism or correction, each woman
speaking her own Words-sense in some
instances; crotchets, crude ideas, and
philosophical nonsense in others-and
giving her own suffrage to what seemed
best in her own eyes, without any ref
erence to what had gone before or was
to come five minutes later.-The Nine
tenth Century.
