IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE.

Significant Ignorance About the
Bible" as shown among college stu
dents of both sexes, is the subject of
an article in the May Century, by
the Rev. Charles F. Thwing, Presi-
dent of Western Reserve University.
I sometimes ask myself" he
writes, whether the American peo-
pie are really aware how far the Bible
has ceased to be force in both their
literature and their theology. The
Bible might continue to be a great
force in theology and cease to be a
great force in literature or one can
easily think that the Bible might
maintain high place in literature
and yet lose its primacy in theology.
The critic is causing it to lose its the
illogical value, and, apparently among
the people it is coming to be known
as classic should be known.
"In the early part of the college
year of I8o4-95, as the first exercise
in a course of study in the Bible, I
set for the members of the freshman
class an examination paper composed
of extracts from Tennyson, each of
which contained a biblical allusion
not at all recondite. To each of these
thirty-four men twenty-five questions
were put, which would demand seven
hundred and forty eight correct an
swers, only three hundred and twen-
ty-eight were given.
=" So much for the first test. Five
ysaEs later I made like, test Of coll

swered correctly by just one. girl, and,
what is rather more remarkable, her
knowledge was so exact that to her
replies to a good many of the ques-
tions she added the book of the Bible
in which the reference is to be found.
Another girl omitted the reply to the
reference to Hezekiah, and gave in
correct answer to the one about the
miracle at Cana of Galilee. Another
omitted the references to Hezekiah
and to Peters sheet, and answered
incorrectly the question of Pharoah's
darkness.
"The Bible societies may print the
book by hundreds of thousands, but
the people do not read it, or if they
do read it, they are not impressed by
it. Its history, whether received as
veracious or as fabulous, is not
known. It's heroes are less familiar
than Jack the Giant killer or Jack the
House-b builder. Its poetry is not ap-
preciated. The majesty and the mag
nifcence of its style, its deftness Of
phrase and sweetness of allusion, its
perfection of literary form, as well as
the profound significance of its ethi-
cal and religious teachings, are ceas-
ing to be a part of the priceless pos
session of the community. Explain
the condition as best we may, point
out the results as one ought, yet the
first emotion is one of grief over the
impoverishment of humanity"

SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.

If you take a dozen soldiers as like
each other as peas so far as height,
weight, strength, age, courage and
general appearance go and wound
them all in precisely the same way,
you will find that scarcely any two of
them are affected alike.
One man on receiving a bullet in
his leg will go on fighting as if moth
ing had happened. He does not
know, in fact, that he now contains
bullet. But perhaps in two or three
minutes he will grow faint and fall.
Another man, without feeling the
slightest pain, will tremble all over,
totter and fall at once, even though
the wound is really very slight.
A third will cry out in a way to
frighten his comrades and will forget
everything in his agony. A fourth
will grow stupid and look like an
idiot.
Some soldiers wounded in the
slightest manner will have to be car
ried off the field. Others, although
perhaps fatally injured, can easily
walk to the ambulance. Many die
quickly from the shock to the nervous
system.
A very curious case is recorded in
the surgical history of the American
civil war, in which three officers were
hit lust at the same time. One had
his leg from the knee down carried
away, but he rode ten miles to the
hospital. Another lost his little fin
ger, and he became raving maniac,
while third was shot through the
body, and, though he did not shed a
drop of blood externally, he dropped
dead from the shock.

heavy coverying than pair of tired
shoulders can stand, and the hair mat
tress constantly dissipates the human
heat instead of conserving it, beside
drawing away that priceless force, hui

All this drain the feathers preveRt, :
the easily yielding surface they pre-
sent permits perfect relaxation of the
MUSCLES, that can never be gained on
a bed of even the best hair. With
the coming of the eighteeth century
type of English bed the feather mat
tress was successfully introduced and
now there are numbers of women who
have not only learned their virtues,
but like the Queen of England travel
about with their beds done up in
leather cases. Some of the rheumat
les and sufferers from cold extremi-
ties have pronounced themselves inn
mune from their grievous Affections
when luxuriating among the feathers.
Feather beds are as we'll coming
into use in nurseries and though for
children the Georgian four posted IS
not yet the fashion, the gayest beds
are made to chime in with the schems
of nursery decoration. Charmingly
carved and painted wooden beds are
newly introduced, else they have
brass or sometimes silver let into the
dark wood in appropriate scenes and
inscriptions. On the headboard of
light maple bed will, for example, be
painted light scene of clouds across
the moon and a flight Of owls; on the
footboard long line of caroling cocks
greeting the sun, typifes morning.

bands of drawn work running about
the four sides and linen lace whipped

blankets are sent to needlewoman
before they are ready for use to have
their edges lightly scalloped and but
ton-hole stitched with silk and mon
ogram worked in the corners. Duv-
cts covered with china silk show a
fluff of Valenciennes frills and pinked

upholstered to exactly accord with the

there are beds with big sachet pillows
