A Pointed Conversation That was over
heard in street Car.
Since the time Of Adam men have
been laying the blame for all the ills
in the world to women Do they fail
in business-the women Of the family
did IT, DO they become inebriates-
they were driven to drink by the fri
volity Of their wives and daughters.
Do they wear shabby clothes and be-
come careless about the cut Of their
hair-the extravaganza Of those who
are dependent upon them has divorced
them from their pride and left them
nothing but rags to wear. Even those
Of the sterner sex who admit that
their forefather lf the Garden Of Eden
was hardly gallant and a bit OF cow
ard are prone themselves to put the
blame where it doesn't belong some
times There was q man in a car yes
terday who was apparently Of this
class. He wore the conventional after
noon dress Of frock coat. striped tr0u-

damage twice his patience gave out.
"Youll never get me 10 wear silk

thing on your head. so you needn't ask
me to" he exploded His tone was
the irritated tone Of a relative. Il

not make any difference; youll never
get me to do it again. I'm not going
to spoil an IS hat for your pleasure, p
growled the man. and. disregarhng
the surprised look Of his companion,
he sank into a gloomy silence. Direc-
ly a fuse blew out Of the car wheel
and the vehicle came to a halt The
man reused himself from his abstrac-
ton Don't you ever ask me to ride
out with you in the suburbs again,
he said with much concentrated en-
ergy; "here we are two miles from

OF my society. I was to read a paper,

ejaculation IN her impatence. i did

Great preparations were made in all
Of the Canadian cities for the reception
10 the Duke OF York on his recent vis-
1t to that country. In Toronto the
scheme Of decoration included waving
banners which flew from poles set in
barrels OF sand all along the course
to be taken By the welcoming troops
and the Duke These barrels had been
painted a bright red, and had been
placed in their proper positions when
the advance agent for a theatrical com
pany came along. The company was
playing "Faust," win a well-kmown
actor as Mephistopheles. and their ad-
vertising was OF a sensational kind
The advance man realized than the
bright barrels made excellent stands on
which to paste his bills. and he pro-
ceeded to use them for that purpose.
In consequence. on the following
morning the city awoke TO ind each
barrel bearing a startling announce
ment. "The Devil Is Coming" Every
one gasped and exclaimed. What a
greeting for the Duke!" Then the good
people OF Toronto turned 70 with a

SALE OF THE BIBLE.
Eighteen Thousand Copies Are Turned
Out Each Day.

In these hurrying days, when so many
books are written, live a short season OF
mushroomed popularity and die within the
year. it is restful to turn to one-the Bible
whose authors labored seventeen hundred
years in the writing, and whose popularity
is greater now than it was eighteen hun
dred years ago. 1t is not known that the
first edition exceeded one copy. Now there
is an edition of eighteen thousand published
every day.
In spite of the frequent editions and con-
sequent opportunities to make changes and
corrections in the text, very few have been
made. The most notable change in this
book since the King James edition OF l6ll
was uade by a committee of British and
American revisers, who, twenty years ago,
somewhat mOderniZed the text.
The British and Americans did not agree
on all proposed changes. and 1T was only
after a series of compromises that the first
revised edition was published.
The Britishers, as they had first proposed
the revision, were given the decisive vote.
The Americans were allowed an appendix
in which to make minority report, in con-
sideration of their binding themselves to
support the Cambridge and oxford edition
for fourteen years.
The British committee disbanded when
the labor of revision was over, but the
American committee continued its organi
zation, awaiting the expiration of its oath
%
free work was Immediately begun on an
American edition. in which the appendix
was embodied in the text. This edition,
only recently published. is entitled The
American Standard Edition of the Revised
Bible"
Local bookstore sales indicate an ex-
tremely slow appreciation of any expert
mental variations in the Bible While the
revised edition, with its groupings of dis
jointed verses into smooth paragraphs, its
omission of meaningless italics and it's use
of the word heart in fgurative language
instead of the word liver" makes pleas
anter reading as a book it is received with
little favor by Bible lovers. Bible students
buy this new version. but to those who hold
even the text of the Bible sacred il is
looked upon an unwecome innovation.
The old family Bible still finds place on
the center table outside of the realm of
fashion.
Christmas marks the high tide in the de-
mand for Bibles at the bookstores and mid
summer marks the low tide, but the con-
slant stream from the presses of eighteen
thousand copies day would indicate that
the tide is never slack.
