RECORD OF EARLY BOOKS.
First English Book Was Not Printed In
England,

First English Book Was Not Printed In
England,
The first book printed in the Eng
lish language was not printed in Eng
land. William Caxton, the English mer-
Ger, carried on business in Bruges In
1869, he began to translate into English
the 'Recueil des Histories de Troye,"
and to supply the great demand for
copies of the book he set himself to
learn the art of printing. The RE
cueil," the first printed English book,
probably appeared in 1474, and may
have been printed either at Cologne or
in Bruges. In 1475 Caxton printed an
other work translated from the French.
Its title was THE Game and the Playe
of the Cheese" This was the second
printed English book. Caxton left
Bruges in 1476 and set up his press in
Westminster, England. Such is one ac-
count but other authorities hold that
the book on chess was printed at West
minister and was the first book printed
in England. The Encyclopaedia Brit
annica says: "At what date Caxton
brought his press to England and set it
up at Westminster is quite uncertain.
1t was probably between 1471 and 1477;
1474 is the date of the Game and Playe
of Cheese; but the tradition that this
work was printed in England may not
be correct" However that may be, it
was the second book printed in the
English language.-Montreal Herald
and Star.

NORMAL SCHOOLS NOT new.
They Originated More Than Two Hun
dred Years Ago In France


dred Years Ago In France.
The normal school, now such a firm
ly established feature of education in
the United States, is not a product OF
this country, but of France. Its orig
inator was Jean Baptiste De La Sale,
who died in 1719, and was canonized
in May, 1900. La Sale was a priest
and dignitary in the cathedral at
Reims, in France. He enjoyed the best
advantages for an education, but his
heart was moved when he saw the
youth of his city growing up in ignor-
ance and vice. He sought to establish
schools for them, but found that there
were no capable teachers. To supply
instructors of a better class he gath
cred a chosen band of young men into
his own house, where he supported and
trained them at his own expense. The
work soon outgrew these accommoda-
tons, and about 1855, with the aid Of
benevolent friends, he established a
normal school to be devoted to train
ing teachers for elementary schools. A
few years before Demia, a priest of
Lyons, performed a similar service,
but soon after his death the enterprise
failed. La Sale gave up his canonry,
with its honors and liberal income, to
devote himself to his school. By his
self-sacrifice his school became very
successful, and established a notable
system of education, but after his
death nothing more was heard Of in
dependent normal schools in France
for nearly a century.

CALIFORNIA; Great Prune Crop.

In California the prune industry has
made phenomenal strides within the
past few years. Twenty years ago it is
questionable if there existed a single
prune tree in the whole of that state.
whereas now California is recognized
as the largest producer of prunes in the
world. At present about $4,000 acres
are given over to the cultivation of
prunes, and last years prune crop
amounted to 15O,00O,0OO pounds. Dur

with them their families) to engage
actively in the sheds of the ranchers,
cutting the fruit for drying after the
men have collected it from the trees.

Purity of French Elections.

Venality is wholly exceptional in the.
French election, whatever may be writ
ten to the contrary by the litterateur,
who is accustomed to taking striking
exceptions as types, says M. Charles
Seignobos in the International Month
ly. There are not in all France more
than twenty electoral districts in
which the election is carried by money.
I could point them out one by one.
They are the environs of Paris, in the
country places of the Pyrenees and of
the Alps, and in the Center. 1t is true,
that the Conservative candidates often
believe themselves obliged to incur
large expense. but the electors, even
when they profit by them, continue to
vote according to their opinions.
Money holds very little place in the;
electoral life of France.

CHARTREUsE LIQUEURs.
Right of Purveying Them Sold to a
Syndicate.

Right of Purveying Them Sold to q
Syndicate.
The Grande Chartreuse, read, has
sold the right of purveying its famous
liquors to a syndicate. Hitherto a lay
brother has been at the head Of this
business. Until comparatively recent
times the signature of the Rev. Pere
GARNER on the label was the guaranty
the purchaser required of the authentic
ity of the contents of the flask which
the astronomer likes to find conve-
nient at his elbow at the coffee and
cigarette stage of his repast. Pere
GARNER was an extremely shrewd man
of business, and more than one law,
suit bears evidence of the care with,
which he watched over the financial in
terests of his society, and the praise
worthy promptness he evinced in COM
ing down on the falsifier and the forg-
er. When he died, not many years ago,
his place was difficult to fill. Hence,
perhaps, the present arrangement.
Something of the kind had already
been under consideration. 1 hear the
price the Chartreuse asked is put at
so, DOC, 900 francs. There are four va
rieties of the liquor, though only two
are familiar There is the Elixir,
which was once to be bought on the
spot in wood-cased bottles at the equiv
alent of four-and-nine. There is the
Liquor Verte, in the pint-and-a-half
bottle, the local charge for which was
three-and-eight, and the charge in
London, say, four times that figure.
There is the Liquer jaime, less potent,
which has cost me two-and-six the reg
ulation flask, in the Chartreuse lodge.
And there is the Liquor Blanche, 9TH
erwise the Balm of the Chartreuse,"
which used to be locally retailed at the
same price as the Liquor Verte. Some
fifty plants, seeds and flowers, you are
to understand, go to the compilation Of
these delectable drinks, the chief being
the first shoots of the pine, mountain
pink, mint, balm, thyme, angelica and
NORWOOD. There is, in fact, good
deal more absinthe in green Chartreuse
than is commonly supposed-London

ANOTHER AMERICAN DUCHESS.
of Succession to the Duoal
Title of Newcastle.

Possibilities of Succession to the Duoal
Title of Newcastle.
Although the echoes of the sensa-
tional episode of ex-Lieutenant Put
nam Bradlee Strong and Lady Francis
Hope. better known as May Yohe, have
died away since the couple left San
Francisco for Japan, there is much
curiosity felt at Newport as to what
action, IL any, Lord Francis Hope will
take against his wife, and whether the
Duke of Newcastle, who is unalterably
opposed to divorce, will permit his
brother to sue for divorce. AS the
duke holds the pursestrings, and Lord
Francis has not a penny of his own,
the former will naturally have every
thing to say on the subject. Added to
this curiosity is a deal of speculation
as to the chances of May Yohe's esca-
pade giving English society another
American duchess. The chances of the
Hon. Mrs. Charles Stapleton Pelham
Clinton, who was Miss Lizzie di Zerega
OF New York, becoming the duchess of
Newcastle would seem to be rather re-
mote, but experience has proved that
heirs to English titles much further re-
moved than is Mrs. Pelham-C Clinton
have reached them. Briefly summar-
lied, Mrs. Pelham-Clinton's chances of
becoming the duchess of Newcastle de-
pend upon Lord Francis Hopes di-
vorcing his present wife, not marrying
again, or il he marries again, not hav-
ing any children by his second mar
riage. The present duke has no heir,
and is not likely to have any. Lord
Francis Hope Is similarly situated as
regards his present wife. The duke
dom, heirs falling to the present duke
and Lord Francis, will pass, if he sur
wives the duke and Lord Francis, to
the Hon. Charles Stapleton Pelham
Clinton, their first cousin. Mr.. and
Mrs. elham-Clinton have no children,
have been married fifteen years. and
are not likely to have any; so that, if
they by chance should become the
Duke and Duchess of Newcastle, the
dukedom would pass in time to Mr..
Charles PelhamC lintons youngest
brother, who is unmarried. 1t would
be coincidence of the next Duchess of
Newcastle would be an American, a
compatriot of the Duchesses of Man
chester and Marlborough. The Hon.
Charles Pelham-C Clinton is well known
in New York, where he lived for nearly
ten years, and where he married. He
is an exceedingly tall, slightly built,
swarthy and handsome man, and is
now about AZ years old. During his
life in New York he was actively en-
gagged in newspaper work, and was one
of the best of the New York racing re-
porters.-New York Times.

Perceived More Than Was Meant.

The following story, if no more au-
thentic, is possibly as amusing as most
of the others which attach themselves
to the name of Jowett. An under
graduate in Balliol had been nursed by
his sister through a severe illness, and
Jowett. by his kindness, had won the
young lady's warm admiration. The
date of her wedding was not far OF,
and on the day she left she determines
to ask him a favor. will you marry
me, master?" she asked, but the reply
was disconcerting: I'VE should both
be miserable" piped Jowett, pacing
the room in agitation. I'VE should
both be miserable!" A parallel in
stance occurs in the Sorcerer.-Lon-

A Happy Boy

Oldenburg, ILL.,, Sept. 2d:-The doc
tors all failed in the case of little thir-
teen-year-old Willie Keil, who suffered
with acute Rheumatism.
For over three months the poor little
fellow suffered excruciating torture.
His father, who had done everything he
could think of, saw a new Rheumatism
Remedy advertised = Dodd's Kidney
Pills. He bought some, and soon his
little son showed signs of improvement.
Three boxes cured him completely, and
he has not a symptom of Rheumatism
left.
This miraculous cure of case which
had been given up by the physicians
has electrified Madison County, and
Dodd's Kidney Pills are a much talked

An article in La Science pour Tout
informs us that Gillian botanist has
discovered a plant that coughs when
the slightest particle of dust alights on
the surface of one of its leaves.
Strange as this may seem, it is not at
all, for upon sufficient provocation it
appears the leaf of this same plant
turns red and spasmodic tremors pass
over it in succession, while it gives out
a sound precisely like sneezing. The
so-called respiration of plants is well
known to botanists, but when it comes
to coughing, blushing and sneezing it
would seem that special examination
should be made both of the plant and
the botanist reporting the phenomena

FOIIy's Fire.

The old grandmother was dead and
the baby, Angela, had followed her, as
If the loving creature had beckoned to
her from heaven. The winter had been
long; the debts heavy and work scarce.
Aurelia, with feverish eyes and scar
let lips, had sewed and toiled. Law
renee, her husband, was sullen and
discouraged. His tasks were irksome
and to him there seemed little COM
fort at home. His trembling hands
and shifting glances begged pitifully
for a change, a relief of mind and
body.
In the spring news came to Aurelia
of the death of her grandmother's

willed the grandmother some money,
and it fell to Aurelia as her heir.
When she heard Of it she went to

with relief on his face that did not
escape her scornful eyes.
1T might do us both a deal o. good

The five American locomotives now

They were at first found to consume

engines, but after certain alterations
had been made the fuel consumption
was reduced to the English rate. These
engines have been running since the
