About him on the ground lie his Off

trees begin to hide them from view. are
the privatcs, sleeping soundly with their
knapsacks and guns beside them on the
ground. Save for the sentry pacing
slowly back and forth in the background,
Sherman is the only figure awake and
stirring. He stands silently before the
blazing logs, gazing down into their
glowing depths. His slouch hat is set
tightly upon his head and his arms
clasped behind his back in his favorite
attitude. In the. semi darkness the red
glow of the freight plays upon his stern
and clearcut features. The same faint
glow is cast upon the forms of the sleep
ing men about and upon the trees in
the background. 1t Is an ideal picture
OF the man lost in profound medita-
tion-a meditation upon the results OF
which may hinge the destiny OF the ma

Wyclff'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 q
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 we'll as Of the whole
Bible. Wyclif could not 60 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.

equal age, who SO resembled each other
that their own mothers were unable to
distinguish them when they were to-
gether. Now, it happened that by the
carelessness of the nurses the children
had become mixed, and how were the
mothers to make sure that they receiv-
ed back their own infants?
"But, perhaps" said the lawyer, "the
children weren't changed at all"

Women and SeasickneSS,

Men are less subject to seasickness
than women, according to an old sea
captain, but when attacked by it make
more fuss. They take Immediately to
their berths, where they grumble and
groan until they are well enough to go
on deck again.
A woman fights the unpleasant NAL
ady until she can fight no longer.
Then she becomes maudlin and pa
thetic. She retires to her room and in
variably asks three questions-frst,
whether people die of seasickness;
then, how many miles we are from
shore, and when we shall get there.
The doctor is always talked over.
When the patient gets so ill that she
loses interest in the doctor, she usually
lies on her side and cries by the hour.

The Natural Remedy.

There is an old negro in Washington
who Lelieves that the art of healing is
a "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 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 ef1iorescent powder to puff out
de skin an lift it 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

Bright Pupils.
A young woman teacher in one Of
the grammar schools in Brooklyn was
speaking of her work the other day.
She said that unless a person had some
experience in teaching he could scarce
ly understand how marvelously stupid
some children were and what peculiar
mistakes ordinarily bright children
sometimes make. To illustrate her
point she told three stories from her
own personal experiences. One day,
OH a language examination, the follow
ing was one Of the topics: 'Name three

This is the way one of the children met
the problem. He wrote: 'Declarative,

in a grammar examination read: i

Only one was silent and remained in

"And can't you swim?" inquired the
stranger.
"No," was the mans curt reply.

The gentleman had adopted this
method to escape the importantly of

would be the safer pilot.-Capitan Fra
