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
ished 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
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 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 effiorescent 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 eflorescent powder
it fizz an fizz inside an puff out de
skin an obliviate de difficulty in a
shot time, sah."

Crank and Epicure.

ga travelling crank and epicure had
the audacity to ask the head steward
shortly before my boat sailed from
Liverpool for New York." said a wait
er on an ocean liner, ''if he would mind
changing three of the courses on the
bill Of fare for others which he prefer
red. He was Informed politely but
firmly that there We're other passen-
gers besides himself sailing on the YES
sci and that if he thought he could
not survive on the excellent fare pro-
vided during the voyage all he had to
do was to book with another line and
his passage money would be returned
to him.
Steamship companies are not in the
habit Of returning passag e money when
once paid, as is well known, but in
this instance we would willingly have
done so.
"Our fastidious passenger did not
book with another line, however, and,
what is more, he ate enough at each
meal on the trip to satisfy two men
with sea air appetites and presented
to the waiter, who attended with ex-
IRENE good nature to his likes and dis
likes throughout the voyage, the mag
nificent sum of Is cents."-New York

POOLING THE EXPERTS.
Experience of a Man Who Bought
diamond Brooch.

Experience of q Man Who Bought
diamond Brooch.
81 am convinced that few people
know anything about diamonds. no
matter how much they may pose as
experts" said a young business man
the other day. "a recent experience
of mine has forced me to this cOnclu-
sion. l bought for my wife brooch
containing a cluster of diamonds and
my friends at the club. They exam
ined it very closely, looked wise and
then started to show me where my
Judgment had been at fault. Every
man in the crowd seemed to be a dia-
mond expert. By the time they had
got through l really felt as though I
had been bunkoed and was considera-
bly, depressed.
"Next day l got to thinking the mat
ter all over and came to the conclusion
that my friends had been talking OF
something they knew nothing about.
! At any rate, determined p make a
test. went to one of those imitation
diamond stores and for 80 cents bought
brooch which / placed in the box
that had formerly contained the real
| one.
again l went to the club and an
nounced to my critical friends that
| had taken their collective advice and
by paying an extra $50 had exchanged
the brooch in which they had picked so
many flaws. They all agreed that the
fifty cent bauble which 1 showed them
was great improvement over the 9th
! err, and when l told them of the trick
I had played on them they wouldn't
believe me. To a man they contended
that they couldn't be fooled on dia-
mondS.
''Now l feel better satisfied with my
purchase. "-Philadelphi Record.

Weighing Machines.

Weighing machines and scales of
some kind were in use 1900 B. c., for
it is said that Abraham at that time
weighed out" 400 shekels of silver,
current money, with the merchant to
Ephron. the Hittite, as payment for a
piece of land. including the cave and
all the standing timber sin the field and
in the fence" This is said to be the
earliest transfer of land Of which any
record survives and that the payment
was made in the presence of witnesses
The original form of the weighing
scale was probably bar suspended
from the middle, with board or shell
suspended from each end, one to con-
tain the weight, the other to contain
the matter to be weighed. The steel
yard was probably so called from the
material of which it was made and
from it's former length. 1t is also
known as the Roman balance and is of
great antiquity.

MisAPPLlED WORDS.
Some Expressions the Use of which
Should Be Reformed.

should Be Reformed.
extra" is an abused word. People
say 'extra good" or extra cheap" in
order to intensity good and cheap"
But extra" has no such force. So far
from intensifying a given condition, it
denies it by indicating that the thing
so described lies outside the sphere or
quality named. Thus, extra judicial
does not mean more than ordinarily ju-
dicial, as though a judge had dredged
his conscience in giving an opinion, but
outside of judicial and therefore inca
pable of being judged at all in the pre-
scribed way.
A grievous fault is the use of .iden-
tify" in a phrase like this, "He is iden-
titled with the characterization move
ment." A man can only identify him.
self with another man or set of men.
He can identify himself with the op-
ponents of northumberland even here
the word carries shade of meaning of
its own, distinguishing the phrase from
such a one as "he Joined the opponents
! of vaccination"
One should not speak of high" OF
!, 'loW'' caliber; but, remembering the
meaning of 'caliber," one SHOULD apply
| to it only such adjectives as ''great" Of
"small."
1t is wrong to speak of consensus

A few minutes later the benevolent

don at his desk, putting a clay pipe in
an artistic masculine fashion, occasion

The Wills. of Noah and Jacob.

The origin of testaments is lost in
obscurity, but doubtless they followed
soon after the first institution of pri-
vate property. Eusebius says that Noah
made will soon after the flood where
in he disposed of the whole world. lie
was certainly possessed of consider
able landed estate, but Eusebius' story
of the testament in writing and wit
messed under his seal needs confirma-
ton.
In the forty-eighth chapter of Gene
sis. however, We do find mention of a
will. wherein Jacob bequeathed to his
son Joseph twice as much as to his
other children. This was not a tesla
ment in writing, but verbal or nun
cupative testament, declared by the
testator Gin extremis" before witnesses
and depending upon oral testimony.
Such nuncupative testaments were
at one time recognized in English law,
but in the eighteenth century, Black
stone says, they had fallen into disuse
and were hardly ever heard Of.

Women and Seasickuesa.

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
yariably asks three questions first,
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 i'll that she
loses interest in the doctor, she usually
lies on her side and cries by the hour.

Cunning Siberian Natives.

When compelled to travel all night,
the Siberian natives always make a
practice of stopping just before sun
rise and allowing their dogs to go to
sleep. They argue that if the dog goes
to sleep while it is yet dark and wakes
up in an hour and finds the sun shin
ing he will suppose that he has had a
full nights rest and will travel all
day without thinking of being tired.
One or even two hours stop at any
other time is perfectly useless, as the
dogs will be uncomfortable from that
time forward until they are permitted
to take what they think full allow
ance Of sleep.

THE HABIT OF GIVING.
Governor e. d. Morgan's First Taste
of Real Happiness.


of Real Happiness.
To the present generation the name
of Governor e. D. Morgan Of New
York is scarcely more than a dim
echo from the pages of history, but
there are men still living who remem-
Der him as one of the group of great
war governors whose frmness and
courage served their country SO mag
nifcently in her darkest hour. 1t was
one who so remembered him who told
this incident:
Governor Morgan was very rich
man, but until he was seventy years
old he never had given away any of
| his wealth. Then one day he sent for
| his old friend, DR.. Adams, the presi-
| dent of Union Theological seminary,
| and told him that he wished to give a
large sum of money to the college.
The doctor, almost incredulous at first,
| was soon convinced of the sincerity
of the offer, and a time was set at
which he was to go and get the bonds.
At the appointed hour the doctor ap-
peared, and bonds to the value of more
than 100000 were put into his hands.
The governor stood and watched until
the doctors carriage was out Of sight
Afterward he spoke ofsit to another
| friend.
Il am an old man." he said. II have
had a successful life and done about
all that l had planned to do, and sup
posed that l had been happy. But l
know now that until l stood and
watched DR.. Adams drive away with
those bonds never had known what
happiness was. l cannot regret too
deeply that early in life did not form
the habit of giving" Compan-
| ion.
