Lady,ike Person Wanted.

One of the richest and most promi-
nent society women, who is very quiet
and unostenta tious in her dress, and
by only the appointment Of her
equipage betrays the fact that she is
wealthy, stopped her carriage outside
the establishment Of fashionable mil
liner, entered and addressed the pro-
prietress
II see you have in your window a
sign, Apprentice Wanted" she began.
The milliner eyed her contemptuously
from the crown of her modest bonnet
to the tip of her common-sense shoe.
You would not do at ALL she said.
II want a ladylike person who can
wait on customers"
Il wished to place one of my maids
with some one from whom she could
learn millinery while I'm abroad" con-
tinued the visitor, quietly, but I'm
afraid you would not do
AS the footman opened the carriage
door for his mistress the horror-strick-
en- miiiiner recognized too late the liv-
cry of one of the first families. sf

BIBLE A LANGUAGE MAKER.

Language Often Fret Reduced to Lit
erary Form to Produce a Bible.
The Bible societies, however. by n,
means rest contented with their pres
ent horizons of conquest. Both thu
London and New York societies ar.
very much engaged upon translation
and revisions, and missionarie
throughout the world are busy will
similar tasks. In scores Of instance
the Bible is the only literature Of /.
language. Often language is first re
duced to literary form In order to pro
duce a Bible. Often, also, the Bibl
actually creates language, in tn.
proper sense of that term. The ideas
the topics Of thought, the point O.
view are not in the local speech. Take
as an example, the translation Jus
made for the Sheetswa tribe In Eag
Africa. They had no word for Su
preme Being, or home, father, heaven
house and other ideas equally funda
mental. "Our Father which art Ii
heaven" was absolutely unintelhgibls
to them. Yet, little by little. the mis-
sionaries perseverd till they have nov
compiled a dictionary Of $4,000 words
a grammar and a translation Of the
New Testament that can be used by
100000 people.
Other recent translatiens have beer
into Mare Zone of the French Loyalty
Islands), Uganda, Persian, Labra dor
Eskimo, Kongo Baldo, Murray Island
(Torres Straits), Wedan (New Guinea)
Fang, Madarese South Malaysia), No
gogu (New Hebrides), etc. That much
work still remains to be done, how.
ever, appears from the statement that
In the borders Of the Indian Empire

The picture represents the ministra-
ton of a papa, or priest, Of the Ortho-
dOx Russian church to a wounded SOL
der who has just been brought in
from the field by the Red Gross men.
The acolyte Is supporting the stricken
man, while the priest Is holding an icon
to his lips. These icons are pictures
Of the Saviour or the Madonna or n
saint, painted in bright colors on gold
or yellow background. They are of va
rying sizes, from an inch to several
feet square. They are held in great
reverence by the Russians. Images are
forbidden by the church, and icons
take their place. They may be had in
the greatest variety, from the modest
print costing a few copecks to the
jeweled work of art worth thousands
of rubles.

and no mourners. 1t is possible for j
man to so live as to die unregretted.
An ACQUAINTANCE who knew the hard
nature of the dead man remarked: Il
don't suppose. he had friend on
EARTH Then he must have been I'M
happy, and certainly was not rich. The
man who has not at least one good
man friend has been miser in mat
tiers Of sympathy, love and kindness.
He has been miserable, and reaps his
reward in lonesomeness. There Is
something fine and wholesome in this
friendship Of men. You have chum;
Of course, you have. Perhaps he is
your neighbor, or your barber, or the
fellow you got acquainted with as you
went to your Office. And you study
him, and he studies you, and you talk
to him about things you would not
whisper to your business associates.
There is no caste about this comrade-
ship. He may be above or below you,
socially, but that doesn't count. He is
your friend by natural selection. Out
of the association both get strength
and courage and a wider appreciation
Of the meaning Of the true brotherhood
of man. Two street cars passed. One
conductor emitted a shrill whistle and
the other smiled broadly and waved
his hand. what did you do that for?s,
was asked Of the conductor who whis-
tied He looked confused and answered
tied. He looked confused and an
swered: ooh, he's good Teller. We
always signal when we see each other.
1t don't mean anything, except that he
Is glad to see me and I'm glad to see
him. We eat our lunches together,
and he's my kind Of a man." There Is
the mysterious comradeship again. You
pass a score Of acquaintance on the
street with curt nod, and then wave
your hand and smile cheerily as an
other approaches. Because he's a
good fellow" He fits into your life
and supplies need that you hardly
realize exists. When Governor Mon
tague, of Virginia, was candidate
for the place he met comrade whom
he had not seen for years. The man
was a small country lawyer. What
can I do for you, old boy, when am
Governor" said the candidate, as he
threw his arm about the shoulders of
the lawyer. "Just what you are doing"
was the answer. Simply put your
arm around me and call me old boy
There can be nothing more comfort
ing from friend" The comradeship
of humanity! 1t is almost as deep and
mysterious and holy as is love itself,
A man who has not at least one riend
is poor indeed, though he counts hia
wealth in millions.

Parents and teachers in France have
voted on the question of changing the
time Of the summer vacation in high
schools. At present the vacation COW
ers the months of August and Septem-
Der. 1t was proposed, in order to avoid
two hot weeks of summer, to make the
vacation begin on July 18th and end
Sept. 10Th. Che vote of the parents
was $4,000 in favor Of the change and
26.00o against it. The teachers, on the
other hand, voted against the change,
the figures being $500 In favor and o.
300 opposed. The voice of the teachers
has prevailed, and the vacation is I'M
changed. The pupils, doubtless, would
have voted in favor of an all-summer
vacation had the opportunity been "
en- them.

THE BIBLE AND OTHER BOOKS.

Three Hundred Million Copies of the
Scriptures Circulated in a Century.
On Wednesday, March Z, 1904, "a
numerous and respectable meeting of
persons of various denominations was
held at the London Tavern, and a So
ciety formed ito promote the circula-
ton of the Holy Scriptures In the prin-
cipal living languages" At that time
the Bible, or portions Of it, could be
obtained in about forty living lam
guages, spoken by tWo-tenths of the
race. During the century since the
meeting. at the London Tavern adj
journed, and very largely from the
machinery then and there started, the
Scriptures have been translated into
45O languages and dialects, understood
by seven-tenths of the race. BY the
London society alone 10000, 900 copies
have been distributed, at anexpense OF
$7O,0O0,O00. If we add to this total tho
100000 copies already distributed by
the younger American Bible Society,
and the unknown millions printed and
sold by private enterprise, we find our
selves inside safe estimate If we hold
that certainly 3eO,OO0,O00 copies Of the
Scriptures, in whole or separate books
or portions, have gone into circulation
during the last century.
Amazement attends the study of the
Bible, whatever the point Of view or
the course pursued. But nothing about
the Bible is more amazing than it's
continuous, universal and utterly un-
paralleled popularity. In nearly every,
it not every, country on earth where
books are sold, more Bibles are sold
than any other book. Last year the
British and Foreign Bible Society
alone distributed 5,943.77 copies, the
majority by sale, in $40 languages,
covering every part OF the globe. And
the Issue by the American Society for
the year amounted to 1896, 558 Bibles
and pordons.-Century.

A distinguished minister, preaching
on the real or faneied decrease of fam
lily life in this country, said that there
would be few couples indeed who
would continue to care for each other
after five years of married life If they
did not have either children or relig-
ion to hold them together. Whether
this statement is true or not is of small
consequence. The important truth that
the minister reached for and missed is
that two married people will inevitably
drift apart unless they have some vital
interest common to them both There
are couples who have religion, yet do
not get on we'll There are couples
with children upstairs and down, and
all over the yard, yet without any low
ing, or even kindly, feeling each for
the other. But was there ever a couple
that did not get on famously and love
each other the more and more IL they
had In common hat one paramount in
terest-whether it was children or re-
iigion or keeping a shop or what not
which makes marriage partnership?

the opening Of the Model Fairgrounds
the other day. There she saw dainty
little carriages, upholstered in blue
silk, with tiny white blankets and coun-
terpanes with lace edges Skyblue took
her own little Chez to the baby's party,
strapped in the leather and bark
papoose frame, to her back. Chez was
content and very happy. Her big
bright, dark eyes took in the pretty
scene with an apparently perfect I'M
derstanding of metropolitan social
ways.
But Skyblue did not have happy
moment after she saw the little go
carts and was told to what use they
were put. She resolved then and there
that she would have one.
She is a large, healthy woman, and
the excuse that she was not strong
enough to carry her papoose on her
back she knew would not carry weight
with the Indian officials. The only rea-
son she knew Of that she should have
a new sort of carriage was based on
her theory that nothing was too good
for little Chez"
She was given to understand that
she would be permitted to purchase
one, but that she would not be al
lowed to use it while in St Louis, for
the officials argued that such an limo
walton would spoil their exhibit.
This question of imitation among
the Indians is one Of the most per-
sistent that the Indian officials have
to contend with. Nearly every day
one Of the squaws, the young children
and the chiefs suggest to DR.. Meow
an, superintendent of the exhibit, that
they would like to have some article
of clothing, or some one thing, that
they have seen and admired on their
white sisters or brothers.
A Navajo woman, who recently ar
rived at the Indian school, wants
modern baby carriage in which to car
ry her papoose, Chez. II she cannot
get baby carriage she would accept
a "roller chair"

The Size and Movements OF Glaciers.
Think Of sections bigger than Rhode
Island being torn from a glacier and
swept off In the ocean, to be ierried
5000 miles on the bosom Of the Lab
rador current until the heated waters.
Of the gulf stream cause them to van
ish from human ken! Then can one
form some idea of the immensely Of
the Ice area discharged from the
Greenland seas each year. Thousands.
of miles Of valley are constantly empty
ing their contents into the bays and
f1ords Of the north waters whence the
tides hurry the detachments south
ward to cumber the wide Atlantic.
The disposition of icebergs to turn.
turtle is one Of their most dangerous
propensities. 1t arises from several
causes. When they start out from
Greenland their bottoms are heavy
with the detritus gathered in their
glacial period, and this drops off at An
tervals as they move south, causing
their center Of gravity to change and
the berg to assume new positions. The
scientific theory of the formation of the
vast submarine plateaus which extend
from Labrador to Fundy and are com
monty known as the Grand Banks OF
Newfoundland, is that they are tho
products of the deposits of bergs dur
ing countless ages.-Leslie's Monthly.

solid products by the skin and lungs.
The skin is more active at warm, dry
temperatures, while the lungs do more
work when it IS cold. 1t is probable
that If there are influences In high.
attitudes which tend to diminish elm
ination, this can be easily overcome
by drinking more water and bathing
more frequently. Convalescence after
illness in general is apt to be more
prompt at high attitudes because OF
the greater possibility Of being in the
open air and sunshine. People who
rarely go from a low to a higher alti-
tude are more easily fatigued.
