THE PRINTING OF BIBLES.
Why the American Bible Society May
Only Issue Copies of the King
James Version.

In answer to Unity, Unitarian pa
per, of Chicago, which criticises the
American Bible society for not print
ing the revised version of the Bible,
Rev. DIR. Edward p. Ingersoll, secretary
of the society, said the other night:
"We have printed the Bible in nearly
100 languages and dialects. More than
one-half our work is in foreign lam
guages. We print only the King James
version in the English language. Why?
because our charter, given in 1916, holds
us to this version. We are not per-
mitted with the money that has been
given us to print any other English
version until our charter is changed"

WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW.
They Were Owned by the state and
Were Open to Anyone Who
Wished to Use Them

When the state of Pennsylvania
opened the Philadelphia & Columbia
railway, the theory was that the state
should furnish the roadway and that
anyone that pleased could furnish his
own vehicle and motive power and
use the railway whenever he pleased,
by paying the state tolls for it's use,
just as the turnpikes of the day were
used.
But it was soon discovered that a
certain character of vehicle was neces-
sary and that rules and regulations az
to times and manner of using the rail-
ways were absolutely necessary for
their successful operation, says the
Boston Globe.
The ordinary shippers found it too
expensive to furnish the necessary
plant. and that they could get this
transportation done by large and we'll
equipped shippers much more cheaply
than they could do it themselves, so
that in practice the business drlfted
into the hands of few individuals and
companies. who did this service for the
many.
The railway as constructed was IN
tended for the horse as motive power.
though the locomotive was introduced
as an experiment shortly after the rail-
way was completed.
The following; among the rules and
regulations adopted by the canal com
mission for the regulation or the rali-
way, may be of interest:
Section o. No car shall carry a.
greater load than three tons on the
Columbia & Philadelphia railway, nor
more than three and one-half tons on
the Portage railway, nor shall any Dur-
den car travel at greater speed than
five miles per hour, unless the car
body shall be supported on good steel
springs"
Section 1Os. Tt shall be the duty OF
the conductors of cars moving W1th
less speed upon railways, upon notice
by ringing a bell, blowing a horn or
otherwise of the approach OF a loco
motive engine or other cars moving
in the: same direction at a greater
speed, to proceed with all possible dis
patch to the first switch in the course
of their passage and pass off said
track until said locomotive engine or
other cars moving at greater speed can
pass by. The conductors of the slow
er cars are directed to open and close
the switches so as to leave them In
proper order. Any person who shall
refuse or neglect to comply with the
provisions of this regulation shall, for
every offense. forfeit and pay the sum
of ten dollars"

THE STEADY, SILENT ONES.

The roar Of the storm is fierce and loud,
1t lashes and crashes and rips and tears
The water is dashed against the pane,
The world is drenched by the sheets of
rain.
But after the clustering, what is the gain,
what good has been wrought In the
worlds affairs?f
The warm, sweet drizzle that comes along
And quietly busies itself all day
Helps the sprouts to push through the sort
ened ground,
Lures the buds outside for peep around.
And with never a roar or fearful sound
Does the work that the loud storm never
may.
1t isn't the bluster. the noise that counts
In fields or out with the busy throng;
The boasting man. like the storms that
tear
And rip and below, the world can spare
The steady and silent ones must care
For the good old earth as it rolls along.

HISTORY OF THE LANCE.
One of the Most Ancient and at
One Time Popular OF
Weapons.

Abolition of the lance in the Brit
ish army has brought out many COM
ments on it's history, says the Chi
cago Daily News. Prince Raymond
Montecucoli, one of the most bril-
liant military commanders of the day,
called the lance the queen of weap-
ons and also the most ancient. It
was used by the Greeks and Romans,
and later by the knights of the mid
die ages. Charles VIII. of France
seems to have been the first to intro
duce a regular lancer regiment into
his army. The corps was abolished
by Henry ~, owing to the difficulty
of finding men to serve. So lancers
disappeared from the French army
until the Napoleonic wars. In the
meantime Frederick the Great, hav-
ing seen the excellent use made of
the weapon by the Poles, had armed
part of his cavalry with the lance,
and had ultimately formed regi-
ment of uhlans. After the partition
of Poland in 1907 many Poles entered
the French service, and body of
Polish light horse was formed, which
Napoleon in 1909 made into a regi-
ment of 1ancers. A year later Ma
poleon formed a second regiment Of
lancers out of part of the royal
Dutch guard. This arming of caval-
ry with the lance proved so success
full that Napoleon created more
lancer regiments and attached one
to each division of cavalry. England
did not make any lancer regiments
until after Waterloo.

still at War.

There is European state which
has been at war over a6 years with
out knowing it. This is Liechten-
stein. In 1866, at the outbreak of war
between Prussia and Austria, the
prince of Liechtenstein declared for
Austria. When peace was made this
principality was forgotten. 1t had
made war and never signed the peace.
Consequently, according to all prece-
dent, it is still in state of war

mark and his wife replied in kind,
after which constrained silence en-

After awhile, Violet glanced fur

lip curled family. "And that man is

shiver, 81 belong to him." mentally
comparing his rugged exterior TO the
polished grace of the other men with
whom she associated.
Awkwardness was perhaps the one
word that best described the whole
man. Long, loosely put together. his
attenuated height serving only to
accentuate the first impression OF
ugliness, he was not rendered more
attractive by the clumsiness that
emphasized every movement.

She broke off, toying hesitatingly

pushed back his chair. His wife
glanced up quickly, strange un-

of his unusual manner.
'You have no objection, dear?' she
urged impatiently, half contemptu-
Gus note on the last word. She looked
narrowly at him, but his face was
quite unmoved. He had lighted
cigar and was smoking mechanically.
"By all means, Violet; entertain any
one you wish in your own home.
He stood in an embarrassed fashion
by her chair for a second, then quiet
ly left the room.
His wife looked after the receding
form with an expression of slow won
der. For the first time in their mar
ried life he had not offered to kiss her
goodbye at parting! For moment
this show of Indifference stung her
into swift resentment. But 1T was
merely transient. All thought OF the
tiresome husband vanished before the
image of the man who threatened to
bring a shadow into the hitherto
blameless home.
