BIBLES IN MANY TONGUES.
Translated | nto $50 Lansuaees-lts
Enormous Circulation.

Century Magazines: Three hundred
million copies of the bible hav. been
printed in a century.
The British and American bible So
cieties alone circulate some s.OOO.O 900
copies a year. Forty per cent. of the
cost is recovered from sales.
Often the payments are made in
curious substitutes for money, such as
cowry shells in Ugunda. copra and ar
rowroot in New Hebrides, swords, dag
gers, sandals, arnulets, straw hats,
pieces of silk, eggs butter, rotten
cheese, dogs teeth, seabirds' eggs and
other picturesque circulating material.
Occasionally, even Bibles are stolen.
Something like 1000 colporteurs and
bible women travel in all mariner of
outlandish places. "by railroad. car
rlage, boat, bullock wagon. sleigh, BIZ
cycle, w~heelbarrow, on mule. jinrikisha.
or a~foot," to distribute bibles.
Bibles must be packed in water-tight
parcels to be landed throug the surf in
Madras; they are made up in fifty
sin pound pacakes to fit the coolies
hacks in AMMAN.
a century ago the bible was printed
in forty languages. 1t is now printed
in $50, and new ones are being iGed
every year. SoinetiineS are

Editing E~iNboards.

Cincinpati Enquirer: Among the
many suggestive inc interesting COM
muication writer's in the New York
Herald is Il who prays for q censor

thai many of the Illustrated posters.
advertising plays of an extremely SEN
satlonal character, are ccrrupting to
the youthful mind; that boys Who
would not be permitted TO so to play
house where such monstrosities are
actually produced, at least have the op-
~portunity to gaze on the illuminated
advertisements, getting false ideas of
life and tr~easuring the impression that
they are restrained from attending

Of the billboards of the city are not
only amenable TO this objection, but
the are offensive to people generally.
The are blotches on the common sytn-
metry. They are a little better than
the indencencies which have beer at
least partially eradicated from the pub
lie places, but not much better.
The difficulty is said to be in drawing
the line of censorship. Who shall say
is proper and what is not? How
are men to agree on what is credible?
One way would be to appoint a censor
under the provision of law, and leave
him to exercise his own supreme iudg-
ment-some n whose head would not
be turned by the gushing praise of the
NlorallStS, who would not care a
rap for the denunciation of the SEN
.sationalists and he third-class show
men.
City authorities have power in such
things and sometimes they accomplish
wonders without distinct authorization.
They have somehow stopped expector-
alton in the street carst by merely
threatening people with signs. They
can relnove distractions from the side

scope of the law. They can interdict
indencencies on the b%illboards, and, no
doubt. they can prohibit %biIlboards al

to get rid of the inflammatory picure

Vinegar Cure for Headache,

Vinegar is fairly good for some
forms of headache, and as a stimulant
in fainting; in each case it is to be en-
ployed outwardly. In headache it may
be applied to the forehead; but in
fainting it should be held against or
brushed over the nostrils, If your
child is suffering from excessive per-
spiration during the night you may
apply vinegar TO the skin. Should the
skin be too sensitive, dilute the vine.
gar with an equal quantity Of water.
Let the skin remain wet for two or
three minutes, and then gently wipe
it dry. Be careful to avoid much fric-
ton. A similar lotion will lessen the
very distressing moisture Of feet from
which so many adults suffer.

HANDLING LIQUID MANURE
To the Farmer Who Knows How It
Means a Material Saving
Every Single Season.

Solving the problem Of successfully
economiEing liquid manure meant d
material saving to me, After sustaining
this loss for many years, | constructed
a vat and stable drainage to handle it
hillside below the barn, large enough to
hold, if necessary, six months accumu-
lation, To this vat from the stable was
laid tile large enough to avoid c~logging.
The vat was constructed Of concrete
lined with cement, In the bottom of
this vat was inserted a two-iEch pipe to
draw off contents by gravity, extending
two inches above bottom of vat TO pre-
vent sediment from escaping. 1t was also
