The First American Bible.

In 1868 the first Bible printed in
America was published in Cambridge.
1t was unlawful to print an English
version Of the Scriptures, that right be-
ing a monopoly enjoyed by privilege
and patent in England. The one print
ed in Massachusetts was Eliot's ia
nous Indian Bible" and, although
1900 copies were struck off, they are
cutie rare and ''sealed books" as the
tongue in which they are written is lit
orally a dead language" the tribe and
all who had a knowledge of the dia-
lect being long extinct.
Eliots work is unique, being at once
a monument to his piety, perseverance
and learning. Its literary successor
was Newman's Concordance Of the
Scriptures" This was compiled by the
light Of pine knots in log cabin in
one of the frontier settlements of Mas
sachusetts. 1t was the first of it's kind
and for more than a century was adj
mitted to be the most perfect, holding
it's place in public esteem until super
seeded by Cruden's, which it suggested.

In spite of heavy crown on kingly

the story. While entertaining an
American who is intere.ted in the

the United States lauded to heaven in
all Of it's departments, Nicholas de-
sired to know if there was not some
condition in America so glaringly
wrong that it needed correction.
eyes, here is an instancew said the
American frankly. with the APP
proach of hot weather the American
employer orders ice for his water cool
er. The iceman at 6 in the morning
slides twenty-six pounds Of ice on the
pavement. At 8 o'clock, after the ice
has been exposed to the sun for two
hours, the Office boy arrives and drops
the greatly diminished chunk into the
cooler. At 9 o'clock the employer
comes In. He sees an insignificant
crystal bobbing in the water tank and
becomes wrathy. Calling his stenog-
rapher, he dictates letter on the ra-
pacity of the trust, signs it Suffering
Public mails it to a newspaper, and
proceeds to make it hot for the in

"And that is what the iceman likes"
