The Hyble M Literature.

Times have changed In the Massachusetts,
Bay colony. What would the Pilgrim
Fathers have said, or their Puritan brothers
Of Boston, of the publication in the three
billed town OF the Bible, not as inspired
revelation, but as a specimen OF English
literature, and from press called after that
seat of all denominations the Merry Mount

Cotton Mather rise from his grave. where
he must have been restless enough since
his own Harvard College began a course on
the Bible simply as good English.
IL Is a splendid edition OF the King
James version that comes to us from the
X. H. HinSey Company, Boston. in four
teen stately volumes admirably printed
and handsomely bound in lakewood covers
and pigshn backs. 1t is the work OF D. b.
Updike at the Merrymount Press and the
page is az beautiful as any we have seen.
clear black type, liberal spacing and Lead
ing and margin. 1t IN not in the shape to
which we are accustomed, for marked
changes have been made in the traditional
arrangement for the sake Of literary clear
ness.
In the first place, the numbering OF chap
ters and verses has been abandoned max
ing reference according to established
usage impossible The chapters are seper-
ated, but not obtrusively, and a system Of
paragraphs according TO the sense is en-
ployed Next, the marking out OF words
interpolated in the translation by the use
OF italics is given up, and they appear "a
integral parts Of the narrative. Finally.
those parts OF the Bible narrative that are
considered TO be poetry are printed in
broken lines like poetry The result is
a page az unlike the familiar page of The
Bible az ia possible, though the words are
those OF tho greatest OF all English texts,
tho King James Bible The publishers go
too far, perhaps, when they say: 1T is
because the Bible has never been printed
In an intelligent way that tho reading Of
1t ia a task, when it ought to be a delight
The reading Of the familiar words in this
form certainly gives novelty 10 them.
It Is n great merit OF this edition that II
contains no word OF comment, no word Of
explanation. 1t is merely the text OF 1911
In a new typographical rran cement. The
first nine volumes contain tho books Of tho
Old Testament, volumes X and XI., the Old
Testament apooryphal books, and the last
three volumes the New Testament. The
one fault we have 10 find with the edition is
that il has illustrations. These arc etoh
inRs from paintings, and seem selected wi b
little regard for religious feeling. 1t IS
likely that even il only great masterpieces
had been chosen they would have seemed
equally trivial, for It would need artistic
work Of q very high order 10 match the
dignity Of the Typography and the makeup
Of this edition.
Fourteen volumes octave may seem
many. They are not too many however
even from the purely literary point OF view.

parent has instructed us not to touch any
cherries, but we pick this one up. The
essay continues:

SO much Is but slight indication OF the
joys and terrors Of the daisy field. but we
will pass on to the old barn. or this mem

Then, let us see-oh, yes. you are not to

The game Of hide and seek Ia considered
with much detail in the essay on the old

mated. There is already a powerful
lobby in Washington which hopes to
effect some mitigation Of the decision
of the commission and thus save to it's
clients, the trans-contiuental roads,
some of the fruits of the monopoly
which they have so long enjoyed.
What this lobby can accomplish re-
mains to be seen. That it was long
sufficiently powerful to prevent Con-
gress from proceeding with an isthmian
canal is we'll known and there is no
doubt that now every ounce of pressure
which it can exert will be brought to
bear to prevent the curtailment of the
railways profits to within a reasonable
margil.

A preacher out in Kansas is respon-

time to hold Christmas services in a
little town not far from Topeka. The
choir was composed of two old maids
and two old bachelors. When the cho.
rus to the official Christmas hymn was
reached the old maids alone sang,
"Unto us child was born and the old
bachelors following up with "Wonder-
full, wonderful Then some wag in
the front pew had to smoker. That
settled it. The choir quit abruptly
and the service came to an end.-Ex.
