It Was Found on che Plains and Used
 on Many Ceremonial Occasions.
 The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning the celebration in this city of the fftieth anniversary of the state of California has history Shat is very interesting. In 1s49 a young man in coming across the plains found pile of books by the side of the road with stick stuck among them bearing a note telling travellers 70 help themselves. The young mas ln searching through the old volumes found handsome Bible, which he con- Eidered a shame to be left upon the areary desert. He placed it in his pack and carried 1t to Sacramento. He presented it to Dr. R. H. Mcdonald, who at that time conducted drug store in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento meeting was called in that city for the purpose of founding 8 lodge Of Masons. That was on Jan. 8, 1850, and the lodge was to be known as Connecticut Lodge, No. 75. It chaneeG that the meeting place was adjoining the premises occupied by Dr. McDon. aid. When it was convened it was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. McDonald presented the book that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use. On the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Masone was formed and the Bible again played an important part in the ceremonies. After the form ation of the grand lodge the name oi Gonneetssut lodge was changed to Te- hama lodge, No. 3, but ever since it's establishment on Jan. 8, 1850, the Bi- ble has remained in the possession of the lodge. R. o. Craven, a prominent officer of the lodge. has been appointed so represent the lodge here during the Jubilee exercises and serves as the GUS todian of the prized old book during ts visit to this city.-San Jose (Cal.)

 Never have the arrangement for dealing with the wounded been in so thoroughly satisfactory condition as they are today, says the Church Fam iIy Newspaper. During an engagement and as the troops advance the wound ed are sought out as quickly as may De possible, their wounds temporarily dressed, fractures temporarily splinted and any other first aid given that may be necessary. Indeed, in the pres ent campaign each soldier carries with him a sman first aid' equipment in his tunic, so that he may bandage him. self or temporarily arrest bleeding, or give such help to a wounded eomrade. After first aid" is rendered the wounded are borne ou comfortable It. ters to the dressing places which are sheltered spots a short distance be- hind the line of battle-usually in the rear Of the artillery Here they are ex- amined by the surgeons; hemorrhaga is securely arrested: bullets which can be easily and quickly removed are taken away; foreign bodies and splint- CTS of bone or shell, if loose, are re- moved: limbs so secured as to render transport to the field hospital easy and comfortable and anything else done which can be done with ease and ra- pidity. No big operation is done at these spots except in the case of limbs so shattered as to require immediate hmputation. The surgeons at the dressing places" do only what is ab~ solutely necessary, and then the wounded are made comfortable in spe- cially constructed ambulance wagons and transported to the field hospital.
