The Interior is very glad to join
with the demand which Mr.. William
]. Bryan makes in the Commoner for
the passage of federal law cutting
the throat of the guessing contest"
as the throat of the lottery business
was cut by a congressional enact
ment some years ago. Senator Jones
of Arkansas, has introduced such a
bill at Washington and it should be
passed. Proposals of prizes for
guessing are usually framed SO that
some mathematical estimates are
possible upon them, and in this way
they are kept from under the lega'
definition of lottery. But practical'
| ly the outcome still depends upon a
chance, for at best the estimates
cannot be accurate. Aud it is man
ifest that the prize never represents
any service done for any one by the
winner, so that it is always unearned
Every vicious influence which attends
outright gambling is therefore cover
ed up in the guessing contest" ant
law is not logical if with the one il
does not also interdict the other.

Bible Society in the Vatican.

A society named "The Religious
Society of st. Jerome for the diffusion
of the Holy Gospels" has lately been
organized in Jerome: and it has for
its headquarters the Vatican. If
this is not evidence that the religion S

There is a well written introduction
and fair supply of "helps" in the
back part of the volume, the latter
consisting of maps, quotations found
in the New Testament from the Old,
and such other matter as is not un-
unusual in our American Teachers

that this Bible is in the language of

BiddieS Take a Trip.

The poultry business last year
reached 5000, 900. 600 and now the
American hen is to be an important
factor in an international egg laying
contest. The Chicago Tribune of
Wedne sday contained the following
interesting piece of information
anent this contest:
Twenty one hens, representative of
the best breeds in the United States.
sailed Thursday afternoon from San
Francisco, their destination being
Australia. Each of them has a rec
ord of better than 200 eggs year.
The voyage will consume little more
than three weeks, and after few
days in which to get acquainted with
conditions on the island continent
they will be ordered to work.
The Australian government offered
to pay the expenses of the American
hens trip, but the gangway plank
was to them a bridge of sighs, as
none of the m will return. The hens
that finish sixth or better in the con-
test will become the property of the
Australian government, and their
former owners will receive s25 for
each of them. The hens of inferior
talents will be offered for sale at
public auction. The eggs that are
laid in the contest will be sold to the
poultry men of Australia at s5 dozen.
Chicago poultrymen say there is no
doubt of the superior abilities of the
American hens. Some of the hens
that have been entered in the contest
have a record of 240 eggs a year,
while the ordinary barnyard hen
averages only 80.
