Millions Sold Yeariy--Call for Bibles in the Philippines and China
 Prices Are Very Low.

Not long ago a New York author had a roseate dream Its radiant flush stil tllumined his face when he walked into his publishers office the next morning says The New York Sun.

 A 10 per cent. royalty on the Banle would provide more than a meagre in- come The American Bible Society alone issued more than 100000 Bibles last year. The British and Foreign Bible Society turned out more than 5.0000oO Bibles. Other Bible companies show correspond ing large outputs.
 Several years ago. owing to fierce com petition, Bibles were selling at cost and below cost The international and OK ford companies cut. prices. and other hoases were obliged to meet the reduc- lion. Various rumors were afioat, It was asserted that Bible gales were falling on. that the old Bible house on Fourth Ave me was to go out of business; that a Rfblc trust was to be formed.

them do not know Spanish. so the dia- feet versions were>an absolute necessity. Representatives of the Bible Soc.ety and missionaries report that the natVes are tremendously interested in this new book in their own tongues, and that in many villages where most ot the na- lives cannot read, the few who can read have to read the Bible aloud. The na. tNes have even in many instances coined new words to describe the book and the new teaching.
 The transIations are made in Manila, where educated Fiiipinos are engaged in the worltsunder the supervision of Amer lean scholars. but the books are printed in Yokohama. Copies of the separate Gospels in native dialects are published at what in our money would be requiva- lent to about ive-eighths of a cent.
 It was to be expected that returns from China would show large falling son in of tho Society. the reverse Is the case. More than 428.000 Bibles formed the issue for China last year. That was Tn ad- vance of previous figures, but 1t is esti- not occurred the sales of Bibles would have reached a million copies. Fourteen of the Bible Society's colporteurs per lshed in the massacre. but there was no strange as 1t may seem. the demand for Bibles in North China has been greater than ever before: -

 about sp per e.at. of the issue Is in Eng lish. The Oxford and University Press and the Kings Printers alone have the right of printing the Bible in England. and their best efforts-with the Bagster Efbies-are the most sumptuous and pop ular Bibles on the market today.
 The famous Oxford India paper, when 1t came into use in 1875. literally worked a revolution in the Bible trade. The pro- cess of its manufa cture Is still kept d secret. being known to only three living persons. Its discovery is s1id to have come about primarily through an Oxford graduate who was a globe trotter.
 In 1Sl1 he returned from the far East bringing among his finds a small amount of exceedingly thin paper. which was tougher and more opaque for it's thickness than any paper of English manufacture. He gave this to the University Press. which put 1t into twenty-four copies of the smallest Bibles then printed.
 The books were only one-third of the usual thickness. and large prices were offered for them. but they were all used as presentation copies, This incident led to experiment, and in 1875 a Bible similar to the limited edition of ls42 was placed on the market. It sold in the most re-,

Gladstone and Disraeli

 Gladstone was a great fnancier, and perhaps the very greatest expositor of finance who ever lived. He had q mag ical Influence over masses Of men. and power of words the effect of which was more like that Of huge masses of water than anything else. His Midioth- ian speeches made one think less of a' liver coming down than of the sea cqfn~ ing up His skin in constructing a difd-' cult measure was not even approached Dy any man of his time. and perhaps was uever exceeded by any man at any umes These and many other merits we must freely allow him, but when the final es- ti:nate of him is made. many traits must be introduced, and not least his extnaJr~ dinart power of believing precisely what he wisaed to believe. He had a. tender conscience. but. save only where hisancel waS concerned, he had that consci4nce' thoroughly under command. if it showed tho sis2htest recalcitrancy hts. will was always ready to say, Just ,.ou daro"' And yet when all has been said for and 1galnst hirn there can be no do.Ibt that he will remain the most uotable Engiish- man of his genera tion--as mueh out of piece among the Liberals as l)israelI was among the Conservatives; but Ike him. ia head and shoulders above all his liv- al,. and ss much superior to Disgaeli kim- Reif In most of the higher arts of states r,anshlp% as that immensely clever child Of Is-ael was superior to him in all ita secondary arts.

 During the past week there was a run on Bibles at the public BbrdrieS: IL Is always so on Jewish holy days. Ibe As tor Library has number or Bibies on its shelves. but the English versions are seldom caiIed for, save when some one working at the library happens to want to look up u biblical quotation or com
 In this day of cheap Bibles no one need go to a library for an ordinary Eng- fish Bible. The Jewish students, how ever devote extra study to the scrip lures at all holy seasons, and go 10 the library for the Hebrew Bibles with elab- crate marginal notes, winch are too ex- pensive to be generally owned. ~
 The Lenox Library Is the suorehouse Tor the valuable Bibles, and has wonderful eoliections or rare editions. Only recently d famous. English bipiophile bemoaned the fact that Amercia was carryine all the most valuable Bibles and Snake spears folios away from EnBiand {.
 The New York Library in which the Bible plays the most prominent part IS In a small basement room up on Nlnety- first Street. The Free Circulating Library for the Blind has more calls for the Bible than for any twenty other books on stE shelyes. ,, One curious fact in regard to the sale and distribution of Bibles was brought to a Sun reporter attention by MT. BJerr- guard of the Aster Library.
 You would be surprised he said, to know the number of Bibles lying in dark corners of the secondhand shops Of the city. Every second hand book shops ot Importance has thousands of them,
