WNcIif's bible.

The first complete translation of the
Bible into the English tongue was eff
fected by John Wyclif about 1880.
This was the Lollards' Bible, and a
large number of manuscript copies
must have been written and circulated,
for 10 copies are still in existence.
There were also many transcripts OF
certain books as well as of the whole
Bible. Wyclif could not go to the
original texts, so he translated from
the Vulgate, or accepted Latin version.
1t was not perfect performance, but
the reformer was prevented by death
from revising it, as he doubtless in
tended to do.
The revision, therefore, was under
taken by John Purvey and completed
in 1888. 1t is curious that the whole of
Wyclif's Bible was not printed as
one book until 1850, when it was pub
lished under the editorial care of the
Rev. Josiah Forshall and Sir Frederic
Madden.

The Natural Remedy.

There is an old negro in Washington
who believes that the art of healing is
"gift" not to be acquired. A friend
who knew his point of view recently
attempted to draw him out.
"You say you're a natural doctor,
Uncle Enos. Now, what would you
recommend in a case of ague"
Uncle Enos leaned on his broom in
silence for a moment lost in thought,
but when he spoke it was with the
calm assurance of an oracle.
"De bes' medicine for de ague would
be an cffiorescent powder to puff out
de skin an lift 1t off de bones. When
de skin is drawed tight over de bones
an de ague begins to shrink it, de
bones jes' nachelly painful an ache
full, sab. But de efflorescent powder
it fzz an fizz inside an puff ont de
skin an obliviate de difficulty in q

Men are less subject to seasickness

captain, but when attacked by it make
more fuss. They take Immediately to

on deck again.
A woman fights the unpleasant NAL

Teaching Business.

The merchant of fifty years ago be-
lieved that business could not be learn
ed by educational processes, says a
writer in Success. The school which
proposed to teach business was looked
upon with suspicion. 1t advertised to
do the impossible. The tricks of the
trade had to be taught in the counting
room under system of apprenticeship.
The merchant received the boy into his
family and made him the trusted com
paniOn of his life and labOrs. 1t was
the same in that day in all trades, but
conditions are changed. The volume
of business now transacted and the
methods in vogue in offices. stores and
factories make it impossible for the
business man Of today to afford time

where training must be used rather
than sought. Thus In many occupa-
tions it has become necessary to sub
stitute practical training in the schools
for the teaching formerly given
through eXperience.-Detroit News
