In the Cottonian library in England
is an Old manuscript copy of a part of
the Bible in Latin. The London
Chronicle says it was used ut the cor
onations of English sovereigns 800
years before the stone of destiny"
was brought from Scone to Westmin-
ster by Edward |.
If this be true. the use of this Bible
for the purpose dates back to the year
1000. 1t is Il quarto of 217 leaves, con-
tanning the four gospels, and seems
from the style of the writing and illu-
limitations, which are very beautiful.
to have been made about the end of
the ninth century.
1t narrowly escaped destruction in
the fire at Ashburnham House in 1881,
of which it bears evidence in its
crumped leaves and singed margins.
There is some evidence that the son of
Edward the Elder. Athelstan the Clio
rious. who was king of the West Sax
ons from 925 to $40. owned this Bible
and gave it to the church of Dover.

boat which you here see pictured is
made of but cigar box lid whitfield
into shape, with slender wooden masts
and writing paper sails. Nothing very
difficult about making such a craft as
that surely, and it doesn't have to be
so very well made either, for it might
vary from the one here pictured very
great deal and yet still travel very
we'll.
Just make one of these boats. which,
as | have said before, will cost YOU no
trouble at all, place it in the bathtub
or washtub partly filled with water,
keep the windows and doors about it
closed, so that the air may be perfect
ly stilled, and then light the candles.
Well, the way in which that little
magic ship will suddenly start to trav-
ell along will just surprise you. And
pretty? Why, you never saw anything
prettier-just the daintiest sort of
craft, which fairies and elves might
like to live on.
Try, all of you, to construct one of
these boats and as follows: First take
the lid of cigar box and cut it out
into the shape of the boat as shown in
picture. Then with your penknife
again make two Sits in the model in
which to stick delicate wooden masts,
which should be sloped backward. The
sails are made of writing paper cut in
shape as shown in picture.
When ready to start your boat, place
two small pieces of candle on it in ex-
act position as shown in drawing, set
it on the water at one end of the bath
tub, light the Candles, and your boat
will daintily glide off on its maiden
trip.-EXchange

At sunset in the forest of Guiana the
bats fit from their hiding places, some
taking the place of the parrots and
flocking around the fruit trees, while
the horrid vampires wander far and
near in search of some sleeping ami
nal, or even man, in order to obtain
a meal. Cows, goats, hogs, fowls as
we'll as game birds and quadrupeds all
suffer from their attacks if not Sc
cured in well latticed pens, while the
traveller must not be surprised when
awaking to find blood oozing from
a wound in his foot OF temple.
In some places domestic animals cam
not be kept ut all, as they are so weak
ened by repeated attacks as to ulti-
mately die of exhaustion. Fortunately,
however, the vampires are not very
common, and with proper care may be
excluded from dwelling houses and
stock pens.-I.ongman's Magazine.

STUDYING THE BIBLE
HOW DWIGHT L. MOODYS WORK IS

Rev. q. c. Morgan, Successor of the
Great RevivaIist.
For more than twenty years the
Mortified Bible conference. held at the
Mortified Seminary For Girls. founded
by Dwight l.. Moody. has been one of
the most important religious gatherings
of the summer.
Thousands of people who have heard
Dwight l.. Moody and been influenced
by his wonderful personality return
year after year to the institution found
ed by the great revivalist for the pur-
pose of Bible study.
The Mortified season begins early in
June and continues through Septem-
Der. Guests come early and remain
later than formerly. beginning with
the commandments of the Northfeld
Seminary For Girls. Bible addresses
for the summer guests are held nearly
again in September.
The present season has been in many
respects the most important in the his
tory of Mortified. The students con-
ference was the largest ever held, and
the speaking was of a high order The
work done by the students in the
classes was thorough and farreaching
in its results, but the chief feature of
the summer has been the daily adj
dresses by the Rev. G. Campbell Nor
gan, who fills place entirely his own.
1t is not too much to say that no man,
Mr.. Moody excepted, has exerted a
stronger influence than Mr.. Morgan.
Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, who is
Mr.. Moody's successor in evangelstic
work, first preached in the Moody
Bible meetings at Chicago in 1896.
Rev. Mr.. Campbell, by the way, dis
claims the title of successor to Mr..
Moody. He believes no one can ill

about Henry Clay, tie great Kcameky

Then came a trial the like of which

''The time came for Clay to make his
defense. 1t was settled in the minds
of the spectators that the man was

proof before them in his mastery way,
then, just as he was about to con-

card.
Gentlemen of the jury he said,
assuming the fiercest, blacklist look
and carrying the most undying hatred

THAT was all he said, but that was

THE MAGIC THREAD.
Sealed In Bottle, You Break 1t
without Touching Il.

If anybody shouli tell you that you
can cut in two without touching it a
thread hanging from the cork inside a
sealed UP bottle, you would be likely
to think that he WAS guying you. But
it may be easily done ana in such a
way as to completely mystify the spec
tators.
Get clear glass bottle-a pickle boz.
tie will do-and to the under part of
the cork attach bent pin. TO the pin
tie a piece of thread long enough to
reach three-fourths of the way down
the inside of The bottle. and to the low
er end of the thread fastcn any small
object, say a shoe button. to make the
thread hang taut. Let those present
examine the thread to see that it is
strong and firm and not frayed or
partly broken.
Insert the cork in the bottle and
seal it with wax and say to the COM
pany that you are going to cut the
lult'tu III lNO NlluOul opening lup DOL
tle-in fact, without touching the
thread.
TO accomplish this you need read
ing glass or sunglass and access to a
window where the sun is shining clear
and bright. The feat is more mystify-
ing if you perform this part of it in
private. So you go to the window. hold
up your sunglass so that you can TO-
Gus the rays from the glass directly on
the thread through the side of the bot
tie. and in short time the heat from
the focused rays will burn the thread
into two pieces, the end with the but
ton attached falling to the bottom Of
the bottle. Then go back to the COM
pany with the bottle, and they ~ffss;;
see that the cork has not been moved
and yet the thread has been cut.
1t would be better to use black
thread for the experiment, as that col
or absorbs heat best and will burn
more readily.

How One Bird Builds IA Nest.

There is wren in Central America
whose nest is Il marvel of constructive
ingenuity. 1t selects small tree with
horizontal branches growing close to-
gether. Across two OF the branches
it lays sticks and fastens them togeth-
err with fiber until it has completed Il
platform about 6 feet in length by .
in width.
On the end of the platform nearest
the tree trunk it builds a great dome
shaped nest 1T least twelve inches in
height, the sides being formed of in
terwoven thorns. Then it constructs
a crooked, tunnol-iike sageWay
from the nest to the outer end of the
platform. and in this tunnel AT inter
walls it builds little thorn fences, leav-
ing just room enough for its body to
pass through.

Little German boys and girls. too.
for that matter, are taught to work
out in the fields almost as soon as they
can walk. y German baby of four
years can weed his mothers garden
without ever pulling up a flower, while
boys Of ten or twelve are experienced

children TO go to school ten months in

age of sixteen. But during holidays
and vacations they must work out of
doors. And they enjoy it too.
