Rev. Joseph F. Sheahan, of Pocantico
Hills, N. Y, writes an interesting letter
to the New York Sun concerning the
ols-used words "Search the Scriptures :"
He says that the Protestant scholars
who made the Revised Version in 1881
dropped the words into the margin and
substituted the words "Ye search the
Scriptures" which is mere statement
OF fact, while Search" is a command or
exhortation. The following is the text
and context from the Revised Version:
And we have not His word abiding in
you, for whom He sent, Him ye believe
not. Ye search the Scriptures, because
yef think that in them We have eternal

Llncoln's Two-Fold Steufth.

While President Lincoln was inspect
ing Fortress Monroe, and the army Of
fcers were exclaiming to him the won
ders OF the various implements of war,
he stumbled over an axe
Picking it up, he held it by the end
OF the helve straight out before him, and
said, "Here is an instrument of de-
struction that 1 need no introduction to-
Can any OF you do that?"
Another story is that he was so strong
that he could lift barrel of whiskey
from the ground and raise it to the level
of his lips and drink out of the bunp-
hole, but-he was so strong that he
would not allow drop of the murder
Gus drink to touch his lips.

lied British subject, has any right to
vote, or to have any share of the own
ership OF British ship, or to serve in
Parliament, or even on jury. The Uit-
landers are people who want to eat their
cake and have ito boss the Transvaal
and, at the same time, owe it no allegi-
ance. Mr.. Chamberlain and his friends
are determined, apparently, to commit
an act OF brigandage in the interest Of
these people, and Of the gentlemen Sin
the City" who gamble in the property
of the Beers. There is no reason what
soever for this attack at the present mo-
ment. The Uitlanders are not worse
than they were before-that is to say,
they own an immense number of mines
many of them have made immense for
tunes, and johannesburg, where they are
mostly congregated, has become a city
where luxury and expensive living are
the order of the day. But since the last
raid the German emperorh has, apparently,
been squared. Mr.. Rhodes has talked
soothingly to him about the great rail-
way from the Cape to Cairo, England
has had friendly interchanges with him,
and after making him the sport of their
newspapers and music halls, and hold
ing him up as fool and maniac, have
discovered that he is really good fell
low, and that his mailed fist" is thing
really effective for combat. Everybody
knows that Mr.. Chamberlain would have
seized the Transvaal but for the kaiser's
telegram to Kruger. If the German
emperor has now been squared" the
grabbing will, no doubt, take place. - 1t
is a significant fact, however, that all
the Uitlanders are not with Great Brit
ain. Nine thousand of them have signed
document, presented to the Transvaal
government, in which they denounce the
movement of the capitalists, who are
trying to move Great Britain to an un-
just war, in unmeasured terms. Whether
this will have the effect of staving off
the evil hour for the Beers or not re-
mains to be seen, butt sooner or later
it is evident the Transvaal government
must fall; not because it has done
injustice: not because England has any
right on its side, but because the British
capitalists. working by means with
which the Hooley case has made us
familiar, have decreed its fall.

Says the Church News: The latest fad
in non-Catholic church circles in Chica
go is movement to have women take
off their hats when entering church.
This is in accord with that higher criti-
cism which is destroying faith in the
Bible. St. Paul says: every woman
praying or prophesying with her head
not covered disgraceth her head" So
long as St. Paul was considered good
authority we heard of no suggestion to
have women uncover their heads in
church. Now, when faith in the Bible
is on the decline among the members OF
so many denominations, every effort is
being made to have their churches re-
semble places of amusement, and the
movement relative to the removal OF
hats by the women is the latest effort
in that line.

 The most magnificent palaces built by man for dwelling places sink into insignifoance when compared with some of the houses constructed by in- sects. An interesting example is the brickmaker. who lays bricks with the skill of mason, making a house of tiny bricks or pellets laid regularly and so evenly there is no ehinks between them. It makes it's own bricks and lays them up with no help. These brick houses are usually fastened to the leaf of some water plant.
 An insect called the foscule lives in a glass house which is often found broken bynaturalists-whetherf from the stones of some enemy or not is unknown. The floscule has a long foot stalk which it fastens to a water plant and remains moored the rest of its life. It is very sensitive and at the slightest alarm re- treats into it's glass dwelling. When it emerges it seems to be @ film of smoke at first for there are glasslike filaments attached to it's lobed body which search for food in the water which is slowed beneath the insect in it's queer trans parent home.
