on Kuropatkin's flanks, keeping the

The main Japanese army is marching

Russian lines of retreat which con-

Marshal Oyama seems TO be making

supplies the following:

A Japanese War Charm.

The custom Of the Sen Mn Riki is
one that has risen in Japan during the
present war. Ever since the war be-
gan, at all times of the day, and even
night, small groups of women can be
seen gathering In the streets; one or
more Of the women will have piece
of cotton cloth with one thousand
marks or dots stamped upon it. "Sen"
is the Japanese word for one thou
sand. "Nin" Is the word for human
being-either man or woman. "Riki'
IS, in the Japanese language, strength.
In combination the words mean 'the
strength Of one thousand people"
Each one of these one thousand dots
or marks in the cloth are to Indicate
the place where stitch or knot Is to
be made by a woman, who, while max
ing this knot, gives her best thought,
wish or prayer for the safety and pro-
lection Of the soldier who will wear
this piece of cotton cloth as an "obi''
or belt while fighting for his country.
The prayers of one thousand women
for one man are believed to protect
him from all dangers and to give him
strength to overcome and conquer the
enemies of his beloved Japan--Les-

When the early translatlons Of the
Bible were being made, history was
unfolding itself at rapid rate in the
British empire. Much of the work was
done by Protestants, who were driven
into exile for their religious beliefs.
The Geneva translation was the out
come Of such an exile.
After Henry Wills stand against
the Pope. the cause of Catholicism
as the established religion was a lost
one, but 1t was not until later, during
the reign Of King James, that the au-
thorized version Of 1911 was translat-
ed for use in the Church of England.
The American version is the King
James version revised, annotated and
brought up to date.
Other books of reference here are
the Cyclopedias of Biblical Literature,
the Jewish Cyclopedia, commentaries
OF various sorts and concordances. A
Catholic dictionary contains descrip-
tion Of the doctrines and rites Of this
church, and was published in England.

An Eccentric Lord.

Matthew Robinson (Lord Rokeby),
a prominent but eccentric Englishman
of the eighteenth century, became IA
nous for his long beard and his pro-
nounced hatred of medical practition-
ers. In regard to the former it Is said
that upon one occasion when going to
an election he stopped at an inn where
the country people who had assem-
bled from miles around, took him for
a Turk and through this mistaken
idea almost worried "me lord" to
death. His dislike for physicians was
carried to such an extreme that he
left a codicil to his will which was to
the effect that a favOrite nephew was
to be disinherited should he (the neph-
ew) In the last illness of the lord let
his sympathies cause him to send for
a doctor. This having been made
known to the nephew when his uncle,
the lord, was in good health, 1t is need
less to add he allowed that persons

in any of the Internal surgical fra

ALL ABOUT THE BIBLE.
Washington Library Well Stocked with
Lore of the Book.

Lore OF tnc BOOK
1t may be an interesting fact to
some people that the Bible is one Of
the reference books in the Washington
Public Library, that four shelves are
filed with an excellent assortment Of
biblical literature, and that every Sat
urday one or more ministers Of the
gospel seek this place of books to look
up references for the sermons with
which they instruct the public from
their pulpits on Sunday morning.
Information concerning the Bible is
about as limited as can be. Probably
very few persons, If told that the IL
brary contains the "three versions of
the Bible" would be able to say what
these three versions are. In point of
fact they are the Douay, the King
James and the American version.
Ever since the events that made
biblical history occurred have accounts
of these same been written. And as
civilization spread and gave rise to
new people speaking new tongues,
these carrier accounts were translated
into different tongues to meet human
needs.
In the first place, there is in the H.
brary book which contains all the
English translations from the original
Greek text. The book is called the
English Hexapia. The Greek text oc-
cupies the upper part Of the page and
the six translations are side by side
in columns underneath. These trans
lations are the Wiclif, published in
1890; the Tyndall, in 1884; the Gran
mer, 1919; the Geneva, 1857; the
Rheems, 1882, and the authorized YER
sion, 1911.
What is called the Douay version Is
made up of the New Testament, pub
lished in Rheims in 1889, and Of the
Old Testament of the Douay version
published in 600 A. d.. This is the
Bible of the Catholics. 1t was publish
ed with the appreciation of Cardinal
Gibbons by the great Catholic publish
rs the John Murphy Company, New
,''rh The title bears tine inscrip-
ton: "Prin, rs to lac holy see."
