REQUEST IN A BIBLE.
Snug Sum of Money Found in Tattered
Book Bought at Auction.

Snug Sum of Money Found in Tattered
Book Bought at Auction.
New Bibles are now so cheap that OLD
ones have little or no marketable value,
but the experience Of a casual buyer,
says the London Telegraph, may lead
to a run on tattered copies of the scrip
lures in search of hidden treasure-not
spiritual, but material. And the fact
that it cannot be discovered without ex-
aiming the volumes may lead to ulti-
mate profit even though there may be
mundane lucre between the boards.
According to the Church of England
Pulpit, young fellow named Richard
Ceilings, employed in Smithfield Mar
ket, purchased at an auction few
years ago for 5s. Cd. an old leather
trunk containing clothing, books and
tools. Among the articles was ven
cradle, much used family Bible. A few
Sunday evenings ago, during the alb
sence of Ceilings from home, his wife
commenced reading some of the chap
tiers to her two young daughters, and
while turning over the leaves she came
upon several which were pasted to-
gether. She Immediately set to work
to separate them with great care, and
when success crowned her efforts the
good woman was intensely surprised to
find hidden between the gummed pages
six f5 Bank of England notes. They
were enclosed In an envelope, were
frayed and dirty, and on the back Of one
was written in ink the following re-
markable bequest:
Il have worked very very hard for
this, and, having no relatives, leave
thee, dear reader, whosoever shall be
the owner Of this holy book, my lawful
heir"

Queen Victoria's Pra ctical Gift.

&C..
Queen Victoria is practical woman
and believes in practical gifts. One of
the queerest of her presents, however,
was the collection of boots and shoes
presented as wedding souvenir to her
favorite daughter, the Princess Bea-
trice. She was also the youngest and
last to get married. It was long ex-
pected that she would remain a SPINS
ter in order to continue to be COM
panion to her mother, but, to every
body's surprise, she married Prince
Henry Of Battenberg.
The Queens present shows her emin-
emily wise and practical nature. There
is no material possession so conducive
to happiness and comfort as a large
supply of good, well-made shoes They
make a favorable foundation for a
happy married life.
The boots and shoes presented to the
Princess Beatrice by her august mother
were packed in boxes specially made
for them. Six pairs Of the same kind
were packed in each box.
There were really enough of these
boots to last the princess until She be-
came an old woman: Good boots we'll.
cared for will last for an indefinite
time, especially when one has enough
OF them to avoid wearing any one pair

Practical knowledge,

One never knows where a piece of
practical information will come into
play. The safe rule is never to neglect
an opportunity to learn an art or a
science, lest at some time or other we
should find ourselves greatly in need
of it. An interesting story from Good
Cheer emphasizes this lesson.
At Cornell University all the students
Of mechanical engineering are obliged
to learn seven trades. One Of these,
that Of the blacksmith, is very distaste-
full to some young men, but it has to be
learned, nevertheless. Oneyoung fellow,
who was averse to soiling his hands,
begged to be exempted from wearing
the leather apron, but the professor
took special care that nothing was lack
ing in the thoroughness of his training
at the forge.
Last fall that student went to the
professor and thanked him for compel
ling him to learn the blacksmith's trade.
"YOu see," he said, 81 am now sup
erintendent Of a mine way back in Col
orado. Last summer our main shaft
broke, and there was no one in the
mine except myself who could weld it.
II didn't like the job, but took off
my coat and welded that shaft. 1t
wasn't pretty job, but she's running
now. If couldn't have done it. |
should have been obliged to pack that
shaft over the mountains, and the mine
would have had to shut down till it got
back. My ability to mend that shaft
raised me in the eyes of every man in
the mine, and the manager raised nv
salary"

ARussian sleighride.

George Fuller vigorously describes
his first sleighride behind trio of Rus
sian flyers: after spending two weeks
in st. Petersburg, in company with the
general in charge of the Imperial stud,
proceeded to Krenovoi, which is 800
miles southwest of st. Petersburg. We
were met at the railway station with
the regulation winter conveyance, a
low sleigh, with three horses hitched
abreast, trotter in the center, and a
runner on each side. Then commenced
the journey to the stud, and never
will forget that trip. After we were
seated in the sleigh and were comforta-
bly, wrapped up in the fur robes, the
driver, who does his teaming standing
upright, gave an Indian war whoop and
we were off, The first jump took away
my breath. The snow few in every
direction, and as we whiZzed around
corners the sleigh would ride on one
runner, and l expected every moment
to be spilled out and have my neck
broken. The driver never ceased his
whooping, and altogether think rode
faster on that trip than I ever did be-
fore in my life. When finally landed
at the stud, more dead than alive,
said, No more Russian sleighrides for

The practice Of tipping is the bane
Of travelling in Great Britain and on
the continent of Europe. In this coun-
try it has gradually obtained, in spite
Of an overwhelming sentiment against
it, until every man or woman who does
another a personal service, in hotel,
restaurant or railway car, expects to
be paid for that service over and above
the wages which he or she receives for
doing nothing else. Employers tacitly
sanction these extortions and encour-
age their continuance by paying their
servants stipend so mean that the
servants are obliged to prey upon the
public in order to keep the breath Of lie
in their bodies. Ninety-nine out of 100
men who patronize railroads and no
tells would infinitely prefer to pay the
amount of the tip to the corporation,
thus enabling the corporation to pay
its porters or walters living wages. The
tip exasperates him who gives and de-
moralizes him who takes. The whole
system is wrong.

Their Own Fault.

Many a man is censured as a selfish
husband when he is really hardly re-
sponsible for his fault. There are
women so constituted that they spoil
every living thing within their PROV
ince by over-indulgence One Of this
type so overwhelms her husband by
kindness that he accepts his role of di-
vinity as matter Of course. Whereas.
before marriage Edwin waited upon
Angelina, anticipating her wishes with
lover-lke rapidity, she now waits upon
herself, and in little while the posi-
tons are totally reversed, and Angelina
waits on Edwin. Complete self-efface-
ment marks her status. The daintest
morsel Of the joint, the choicest fruit
the most comfortable chair, and the
contest corner of the room, each is AL
lotted to the spoilt husband, who ac-
cepts all. He allows her to fetch and
carry for him as he would dog, often
without d word Of thanks equivalent
to the pat bestowed on the dumb ami
NAL. Truly spoilt husband this. and
a spoilt disposition in consequence,
which exerts potent influence on
those with whom it is brought into con-
tact during the routine of daily Life.
This might have been otherwise had a
little common sense and self-restraint
on the part of Angelina led her to ex-
act her due share of respect and deyo-
ton from Edwin.
