Hall Cafne and the Bible.

MT. Hall Caine states that he is large ly indebted for his literary successes to the Bible.
 q think" he says, 'that I know my Bible as few literary men knew 1t. There Is no book in the world like it, and the finest novels ever written fall far short in interest of any one of the stories it tells.
 Whatever strong situations I have in my books are not of my creation, but are taken from the Bible.
 "'The Deemster' Is the story of the prodigal son, The Bondman' is the story of Esau and Jacob, The Scape- goat is the story of Eli and his sons, but with Samuel as little girl, and The Manxman' is the story of David and Uriah."

 At little dinner of few old timers In this city the other night one of the speakers said:
 What has become of the old fash toned boy. the one who looked like his father when his father carried the sort of pompositv which was like the divin- ity that hedgcd q king in the time when kinghood was in its break of day, the boy who wore a hat which th~atened to come down over his ears, the boy whose trousers were made over from his fathers by his mother or aunt or grandmother. the boy whose hair had cowlick in it before and was sheared off the same length behind, the boy who walked with both hands in the pockets of his trousers and who expee- toratcd between his teeth when his teeth were clamped together, the boy who wore boots run down at the heels, the boy who never wore knickerbock- CTS or a roundabout coat, the boy whose chircgraphy was shaped by the gym nastics of his tongue, the boy who be- lieved his fi1hcr was the greatest man in the world and that he could have been president if he had wanted to be, the boy who was his mothers man when the man was away from home?" New York Sun.
 ueogrnphicnt Distribution of Hair.
 The geographical distribution of the hair over the Eabltable world Is. as re- gards the color. very precisely deiina- ble. The Xanthocomic or light haired races are to be found north of latitude IS degrees. which cuts off England, Belgium. the whole of northern Ger many and a great portion of Russia. Between this parallel and latitude h degrees, including northern France, Switzerland and part of Piedmont and passing through Bohemia and Austria, there Is sort of debatable land of moro or less dark brown hair, and be- low this line we come gradually upon the Melanic races. The people of Eu- rope therefore present in the color of hair an almost perfect gradation, the light flaxen of the colder attitudes ! deepening imperceptibly into the blue black of the Mediterranean shores.- Gentleman's Magazine.
