REGRET FOR TASTY JUDGMENT
Unfortunate Impression Which It Created
 Against an Innocent Boy.


 "I received a valuable lesson in talk ing @snap judgment the other day, said a retail merchant to New Or leans Times-Democrat man. T had managed to get some paint on my hands from a marking brush, and stepped into a hotel where I am well known to wash it off. Before pro- zeeeding with the serubbing took off my ring, which, as you see, is rather a handsome solitaire, and hung 1t on the faucet. When I went away l for got to put it on, and didn't observe the f2et until a quarter of an hour later, when I was in the place of a friend several blocks away. Of course, l rushed back immediately, and just as I feared there was no sign of the ring in the laYatory A porter happened to pass while was searching, and he told me thaE he had seen one of the bell boys ske ring from the faucet a momeht or two before and at once slip out of the house by the back way. He gave me the name of the boy, and l started instantly to raise an alarm AS l went through the office l told the clerk in loud voice, audible to Q dozen people standing around, that the boy had stolen my ring, and I wanted him arrested on sight. Then I tore out and gave the same word to a couple of policemen and some people l knew in the adjacent shops Inside Of ten minutes I made pretty thor ough tour of the neighborhood, tell ing everybody to look out for the thief. Then I went to my store, hot and excited, and there stood the bell boy, with my ring in his hand. He had recognized it as my property, and came over at once to deliver it. Real ly, I cannot describe my modification and chagrin. Here I had branded the poor little chap as a thief, and spread broadcast a story that I can never wholly recall. Nobody can say how long an unjust suspicion will attach to him in the neighborhood as a conse- quence of my folly. I gave him .S10 and have done what I could to repair the mischief. The lesson was one I shall meyer forget"

Philadelphia Record; There are par- tlcular people and people who are par tieular, but fl is doubtful if there are any more particular people than a fond ma and pa of pair of little boys who llge on North Broad street. These doting parents are so particular that they will allow only one barber to keep the hair of their young sons in trim, and when it came time for the family to depart to Atlantic City the first Of this month there was no hesi- tation in engaging the tcnsorial artist to go along. His board has to be paid as we'll as the amount of wages he usually earns each week. While he Is at command, however, papa permits the man of the razor and shears to shave him every day, while mamma has her head washed every other day, so that the barber is not given too much opportunity to grow lazy. Still, he looks upon himself as man of leisure. and refuses to associate with the ordinary run of face lath9rers.

Farm Raised Its Own Mortgage,

< queer story is told by Lincoln lNeb.) paper of how misfortune of it's own accord turned into good luck for a Nebraska farmer. He was a man from Missouri, who had invested his all in a big wheat field in Buffalo county, and then by means of a mortgage on his land he raised $700 with which to raise wheat. It happened to be poor year for wheat, and the stand was not very good Concluding that it wasn't worth harvesting, he pulled up his stakes and went back to Missouri, leaving the farm to fight the mortgage all by itself. The farm was equal to the occasion The wheat ripened, fell down and deposited the seed in the soil again. Next spring the wheat began to grow lustily. Some of the neighbors were honest enough to write about it down to the fugitive in Missouri, and he got interested enough to come back and take look Then he stopped and harvested his voluntary crop. He sold it for enough to pay off sile mortgage and the rest of his debts and had a tidy little sur. plus over, with which he moved his family back, and now declares there is no stAte like Nebraska.

Accompiisheu a Linguistic Feat.

Dr. Weldon, the new bishop of Call cutta, has accomplished linguistic feat. Six months after his arrival he took a full confirmation service in the Bengali dialect at Ranaghat, in the diocese of Calcutta. There are many in the episeopacy who take up the study of the Indian tongues but throw them up in despair. Bishop Weldon, however. perseyered, and got on so well that, besides the service named, he has already given a sermon in the Bengali vernacular. which is the one mostly spoken in the Calcutta diocese.

 Fabulous sums are paid for copies ot the earliest printed Bibles on account of their rarity. Yet 1t is known that many more were manufactured than have ever come to light, and every no" and then we hear of another copy nav ing been found in some garret or cei- lar amid the rubbish. The famous "Mazarin Bible" has been sold for more than s2o.0OO. and this is called cheap, as 1t is one of the finest specl- mems of the printers art ever pro- duced, and. most interesting or all' was set up and published by Gutenberg in 1455, after three years of continuous labor. He printed only 100 copies, but eighty-fye of these have never been found. It is called the Mazarin be- cause the first copy to be discovered III modem times was in the library Of Carxslal Mazarin. But there is an s0tfhef part of the Bible, called the tPsalterium," because it contains the Psalms only. which commands even higher price, having been sold for $2o,- 900, for but six copies are known to be in existence. It was printed by John Faust and Peter Sehoeffer on pareh- ment in Gutenberg's shop, and is the first printed book bearing the year and day of it's publication on the title page. This inscription reads, '1457, on the eve of Ascension" Of course, all of the earliest Bibles were printed in Latin. The first complete Latin Bible with date appeared in 1462. and is valued at.$7,00o After that time many editions of the Bible appeared n all nguages-German. English French and Greek-and in 1514-1517 was the first polyglot Bible, one in which rh0 Bible appeared in various languages side bg side. The most valuable Bi- bles all date from the fifteenth or six teenth centuries. After that no spaciai value is attached to them,

Judging Machines.

For registering the results of foot race the human eye and voice seem sometimes painfully inadequate. Close contests of this kind will doubtless end more pleasantly when the new Judging machine" described by the Golden Penny, comes into general use. The machine, which was invented by an Australian, is designed to be placed at the finish line, and consists of a tight metal frame partitioned into two or more divisions, each about four feet wide. On the top of the frame stands a small cabinet containing numbered divisions corresponding to the num- bers of the tracks The ins.ant the first man passes through his division a shutter falls, disclosing his track number. The other numbers are inn mediate1y locked, except when the ma- chine is set for final heats In this case a small cylinder is attached to the machine, and hammer head strikes a mark on the revolving eylin- der as the men finish. Thus the exact positions Of all the competitors can be told to a nicety. The same inventor has originated an automatic judging machine for bicycle races. It consists of fine, light metal strips plaeel in a small trench about two inches wide, which is sunk across the track at the finish. During the last lap these strips, which are coated with enamel, are placed in position by means of a lever, and the first wheel to cross receives five marks. Tn crossing. however, it displaces one of the strips, and the next wheel, therefore, only receives four marks, the third three, and so on.

 No said Walnut street physician, It Is not true that all automobilists suner from the complaint popularly known as 'wrong-lever mania,' for my practice lies largely among this class of people. and I can say positively that not more than seven out of ten are ever attacked by the disease. It is a thing that comes on them in moments of in- tense excitement, when a street is 0yercrowded. when a runaway is mak- ing directly for them, or when they are on the point of shooting over a precipice. Then, if ever, wrong-lever mania-a silly name, though the eom- plaint is so new that we haven't yet had time to give it a good Greek or Latin title-then. 1 say if ever, they gre liable to be attacked. There are generally-f nay say always-in an automobile three levers, one to steer with, one to go fast with and the other to stop short. And the victim, the poor sufferer in this deadly crisis, for gets which is which in the matter of levers, decides to guess, and pHlls, naturally, the wrong one. That is why. in an acute attack of wrong-lever mania, Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs. at Newport last summer, drove over a stone wall, up flight of marble steps and through the stained glass windows of the music room of a freind It is why Alfred Vanderbilt went swiftly in an automobile phaeton down one of the cliffs backward into the sea, and it is why Henry Lehr, in a petroleum T. cart, completely demolished a green house of glass.

5OER COURTSHiP.

There is something very comic
according to our notions in the
way a Boer manages his love
making, says an authority.
Having asked the permission of
his father to court a certain
damsel in the neighborhood-by
this is meant anywhere within so
miles-he proceeds to purchase
the most strikingly decorated
and loudly colored saddle cloth
for his steed that he can possibly
obtain. He will very likely
spend a large sum Of money on
this, for it is a special occasion,
and no one knowing the country
and habits of the people will have
the least doubt from the appear
ance Of his horse thai he is in
quest of a bride.
Having made his preparations
he mounts his most spirited
horse and journeys to the lady's
home, but instead OF seeking out
the object of his affections he re-
spectfully asks permission of her
father to court her. The old man
cautiously refrains from answer
ing, but consults his wife, and
the youth joins the younger
members Of the household.
No further notice is taken of
the sutton for the rest of the day
but if the parents approve of him
when the rest of the household
retire for the night the mother
solemnly approaches the young
man and maiden with a long tallow
candle in her hand. This she
places on the table and lights,
and then having taken an affec-
Tomato farewell Of the couple,
she retires. This is a sign to the
lover that his suit is acceptable.
