For a republic, France has some

realize a yearly revenue to the state
Of $4,000, 900 francs, but It Is probable
that things will remain as thoy are

The New York Magazine Of Santa.
ton and Hygiene says that a more
meritorious medicine than Krause's
Cold Cure for the prevention and cure
Of La Grippe has never come under
the examination Of the chemical and
medical experts Of that magazine. As
soon as you begin to take cold or feel
the first symptoms Of the Grip take
Krause's Cold Cure Capsule every 5
hours during the day and 2 before re-
firing at night. This will insure q
good nights rest and free move
ment Of the bowels next morning.
Continue the treatment next day and
you need have no fear Of the grip.
Krause's Cold Cure is guaranteed
to break up La Grippe in day, and
to cure an ordinary cold over night.
1t is a new principle in medicine pre-
pared in soft, soluble gelatine cap
sules, which are easily dissolved BY
the warmth and fluids Of the stomach.
They are far superior to hard, sugar.

by the most delicate woman or child.

THE BIBLE AND A MYSTERY.

At Oxford.
1t Is fairly well known, says the
Golden Penny, that the Universities oil
Oxford and Cambridge, having paid
100000 toward the cost Of publication,
IRE joint owners Of the copyright Of
the revised version. The copyrights
the authorized version and Of the
Book of Common Prayer, however, are
vested in the crown, and authority to
print them in England is given by
patent to the kings printers, and by
charter to the Universities of Oxford
and Cambridge. There is, probably,
not another printing press in the
world which issues so many copies Of
the Bible as that of Oxford univer-
sity, where the famous India paper, a
quarter of a century ago, revolution
led both the ibDle and the prayer
book trade
Oxford's answer to the question
whether the circulation Of the Bible Is
decreasing is emphatically: NO"
The output averages about a million
complete copies every year, apart
from New Testaments, separate poy-
lions nd Welsh Bibles. Justly proud
Of their printing. the authorities Of
the press make standing offer Of q
guinea to anyone who first points ont
I printers error in any edition Of the
authorized version, and as there are
over seventy editions of the Oxford
Bible altogether, 1t Is sufficient testi-
mony to the excellence Of the work to
say that the bill for these errors-the
errors themselves being usually Of the
most trivial character - rarely
amounts to more than two or three
guineas a year. There are a few OBJ
solete words in the Bible, however,
'astonied," for example-whlch are a
constant source of trouble on this &C.

breasts Of many would-be winner Of
the guinea reward, and involving cor
respondence with applicants from all
