BIBLE WRITTEN IN rs.
Mu1tiples of This Figure Recur Signif
cant1y in New Testament.

Mu1tiples of This Figure Recur Signif-
cantIy in New Testament.
The phenomena of the figure Z and
its multiples, occurring in the New
Testament, have been touched upon
by Ivan Panin, a Russian student of
the Bible, who for a number of years
has made his home at Grafton, Mass.
This significance Of the seven" group
will not be lost even upon the super
stitious who are outside the pale of
scriptural points, and, as Mr.. Panin
has shown them, their relations of
their groupings to the first eleven
verses of the New Testament must
suggest that they were scarcely
chance.
For instance, In these first eleven
verses of Matthew, the vocabulary con-
sists of forty-nine words, or seven sew
ems; Of these words there are twenty
eight, or four sevens, which begin with
vowels, and twenty-one, or three sew
ems, which begin with consonants.
This distribution by sevens be-
tween vowel words and consonant
words justly might have been deemed
accidental but for the fact that of the
forty nine words forty two Of them are
nouns-six sevens-and seven are not
nouns" is the comment of the writer.
'Of the forty-two nouns there are
thirty-fve proper nouns, or five sevens,
while seven are common nouns. or
the thirty-fve proper names four sew
ems are male ancestors of Jesus and
seven are not such. Not only then in
the distribution of the forty-nine
words of the vocabulary by sevens an
between vowel words and consonant
words, but also as between the parts
of speech"
AS a further and absolute proof that
these phenomena of the sevens are moi
accidental Mr.. Panin points out that
the forty words of the vocabulary
show fourteen words that are not used
but once, while thirty-five of them, OF
fivo sevens, are used more than once
His conclusions after an exhaustive ar
rangement Of the 'seven" features arc
that mot even the choice of the Ian
guages in which the scriptures were
written was made without marked nu
merical design at the threshold of the
subject"

UNUSUAL V0CAIlONS


The mystery of "how the otner iiaiI
lives" means, in part, the quesuon no"
1t gets its living. The most out-oI-ln o
way occupations are found In the lars>
est cities. Placards and signDoarus'
which are quoted in the New YORK
Mail and Express, show some OF Ine
queer Industries and trades carried Oh
In New York.
In East 34th street a sign In the
window of a house informs the puDic
that birds are boarded here by the
day. week or month" A little farther
downtown q sign In a basement WIN
dow announces, Dogs ears and talls
cut In the latest fashion" A sign In
the same locality reads, Il educate
cross cats and dogs to be gentle ana
well-behaved."
young ladies are invited to come In

future husbands" OF West 23d street,
near 9Th avenue. ''RIound-shouldered
people made straight" is announced
on East 10th street; and near 10Th
street on 4th avenue Perfect grace Is
taught in IL lessons" and ''satisfac-
|
near Houston street, Ladies deficient
In wardrobe are fashionably dressed
on easy monthly instruments"
"Sore eyes in poodles effectually
cured here" is a message displayed
on East Broadway. In Catherine
street, Babies are hired or exchanged
for the use of professional beggars,
of course. In Hester street BLACK
eyes are artfully painted over" and
"False noses as good as new and war
ranted to ft,". are advertised near
Chatham Square, conveying the inn
preston that assault is not an uncom
mon crime in some quarters.
On Chatham street the wayfarer Is
told, "Dine here, and you will never
dine anywhere else,"-a somewhat
ambiguous statement,-and on Null
berry street an undertaken makes 6

Rent Radium by tho Hour.

When one reads OF the considera BILE
use that is being made incidentally OF
radium it seems hardly credible thai
SO much can have been made of so
little. The amount procurable in Lon
don to-day is considerably less than a
grain. Consequently. as only a limited
number Of medical men can have an
opportunity Of utilizing this weird
chemical, it is suggested that chem
lists should follow the example of one
of Il cir number. who has obtained a
small tube containing FIVE MILL
grammes of radium bromide, and hires
It out ut $3.50 an hour. This is surely
the strangest development of modern
eharmacy.

Out of the Judges Hands


wife is like condemning each to life
Of torturing servitude. There is but
one remedy; that is to grant a decree
of divorce; and to this end my client
asks that she be allowed the custody
and care of the children. This agree
ment is mutual between the two"
The attorney went back to his seat
The two little boys yawned in uni
son. and each gazed alphabetically into
the pale face of the mother. This
time she did not smile at them. Her
mind was busy with other things, and
she with difficulty suppressed sob.
The judge removed his glasses and
carefully wiped them with the corner
Of his big silk kerchief 1t was evil
dent he was wavering between two
convictions.
During the long silence none in the
court room saw a thin column of
smoke creep, as noiselessly as a reptile,
up the stairway and enter the CORR
dor. 1t kept close to the floor, and
glided up the aisles between the rows
of empty benches. When it crept be-
meath the bench where the woman
and the boys sat little puggish nose
gave a curious sniff, and the ominous
silence was broken by the childish re-
mark:
Mamma, 1 smell smoke"
Fire! Firev came a loud, startling
cry up the stairway.
The judge closed his book with q
start, thrust his glasses into his vest
pocket, and looked about him dazed
Mortified. '"The building is on fire, y
said he in alarm; 1--WE had best make
our escape to the lower floor" AS he
skurried toward the door he uncon

HeaIthruI Optimism.

A certain lady had met with a seri-
Gus accident, which necessitated a very
painful surgical operation and many
months confinement to her bed. When
the physician had finished bis work
and was about taking his leave, the
patient asked, doctor, how long shall
l have to lie here helplessT" "Oh,
only one day at time" was the
CHEEKY answer; and the poor sufferer
was not only comforted for the mo-
ment, but many times during the sue
ceeding weary weeks did the thought,
"Only q day at a time" come back
with its quieting influence. We think
1t was Rev. Sidney Smith who recon.
mended taking short views" as q
good safeguard against needless wor'
~; and One far wiser than he said
take, therefore. no thought for the
morrow. Sufficient unto the day II the
evil thereof"

Buttons Out of Fruit Seeds.

In Central America there Is a fruit
producing palm which has quite meta
.morphosed the button business and
formed the nucleus of one of the most
important industries. The seed Of this
fruit contains q milk that is sweet to
the taste and is relished by the ma
tives. The milk, when allowed to re-
main in the nut long enough, becomes
hardened, and turns into a substance
as hard as the ivory from an ele-
plants tusks. The plant which pro-
duces these nuts Is called the ivory
plant Most of the buttons used in the
United States, whether called ivory,
pearl, bone, horn, or rubber, come
from this source. The ivory plant is
one of the wonders of the age, and
is rewarding its growers with vast for
tunes. The nuts are exported by the
