The Printing Of nlbIss.

The printing of the Bible is the most
trictly guarded work in existence--a
fact which appears strange until We
reflect on The mischief an inaccurate
Bible might bring about. The kings
printers and the two universities Of
oxford aud Cambridge give 10 the
world all the Bibles printed in the Uni
ted Kingdom, except some printed by
special license. A few years ago the
question arose whether the word
spirit" in Matthew iv., !, and Mark l.,
II, should have capital IS" it hav-
ing been previously printed with
small one, and, although the word was
obviously wrongly printed it was not
until after the ruling powers at the
universities and the kings printers had
met in solemn council that leave was
given to use the capital letter Noth
ing sanctioned by authority in 1GIl
may be changed without creating
something akin to revolution in the

Bloodhounds, Notwithstanding that a

not caught on in public favor There
is probably no breed whose true char

there Is no justification. as the modern

These Merchants WIN Advertise only IN
Newspapers In the Future.
The merchants and business men Of
Scottdale, Pa, have formed an assO-
citation against all fake advertising.
Hereafter they win place their adver-
tising money into the one daily and
two weekly newspapers published in
the town. They have unanimously
Endorsed the newspaper as being the
BEST medium Of advertising and the
only one that proves satisfactory at all
times.
The local merchants had become
disgusted at the frequent Instances in
which they were talked or virtually
forced into advertising schemes which
turned out worthless.
Church programs and programs for
local entertainments are also under the
ban, as many OF the merchants COM
plain that with every entertainment
given, where there is an excuse for
publishing program they are solicited
for IN advertisement.
Some of the merchants asserted that
they have spent from 500 to $500 a
year in schemes which were wholly
without any return as advertising, and
which cut them down just that much
in their newspaper advertising.
