Not the Oldest Printed Bible.

The yarn that is going the rounds OF
various papers to the effect that a carpen
ter. by the name of Van Slykc of Sag
NAV, Mich, possesses Il copy Of tho Oldest
nrjnted Bible, presumes upon the suppo3-
ition that editors and readers arc ignor-
ant of the history of the early printed
Bible. The Saginaw mans book it is
stated was printed at Dordrecht. 1olS-oo,
the time between those dates being &C.
cupicd by the printer in stamping each
letter by hand which he had to do because
there was no printing presses 400 years
AGO, The oldest printed Bible. known
as the Mazanni or Gutenberg, Bible, was
nrinted at Mentz 1906. sixty odd years
before Mr., Van Sykes Bible was print
ed: and there were not less than 256 print
ing presses in use in Europe before 1901.
Cen. Rush c. Hawkins of New York has
in his unique collection of first books of
the first presses, 1Gj specimens of such
books. In the famous CaXton Exhibition
of printed Bibles in London in 1871 there
were eighty-four different editions Of the
full Bible printed in different languages,
besides a number of copies Of the New
Teatamont, the Psalms and the Pcnta-
touch all printed before the book in the
SAGINAW deposit safe saw the light. There
never was a Bible printed by stamping the
letters separately by hand.

In cattle and other live stock have been
subjected by the quarantine instituted for
the purpose Of stamping out the foot and
mouth disease; but comparatively few

as a reSui. Of this necessity. S, S. Mayo
writes from Vermont to the American
Cultivator that the quarantine rules are
being rgidly enforced and that they are
bringing about conditions that in some
instances are inconvenient in the extreme.
Some of the farmers in Andovcr are
obliged to carry water in pals across the
road to their cattle, and they can not
even draw "A lead of wood for fuel across
