An Anchoraee of EnaIish.

According to the eighty-ninth annual
report of the American Bible society,
there is no falling off in the demand
for that most popular of books. Last
year the society issued 1,S31,096 Bibles
and Testaments. Since its organiza-
ton it has issued 1922, no copies Of
the Bible-almost as many as there are
men, women and children in the United
States.
The old Bible House in AstOr place
is the site from which this stream of
Bibles is constantly flowing They are
printed in all sizes and styles and at
all prices. There are Bibles with raised
letters for the blind and Bibles in all
known languages.
Considered only as a book, aside from
its religious value, the Bible is a mas
terpiece It's English has formed the
style of many speakers and writer's
whose simplicity of expression was
due to its simple phrases and clearness
of thought The revised versions have
had in comparison little vogue. A quo
tatiOn from the Bible is usually made
in English from the old version. The
Bible phrases which have gone into
speech and thought are home
" expressions wOrded in older English
Than that of modern custom.-New

Chicago is just congratulating itself
that dividends in the shape of i'm
proved health are beginning to come in
from its millions invested in the drain
age canal During the week ending
May 20 there was only one death in
the city from typhoid fever, a record
without a parallel in that city in re-
cent years and probably without a du-
plicate in any other large city of the
world. This excellent showing, more
over, was made before the full compile
tion Of its intercepting sewer system,
by means of which all the sewage of
the city will be diverted from the lake,
and the city's water supply will then
be as pure as the authorities can make
1t. To eliminate the scourge of typhoid
so far as the water supply is concerned
is an achievement any city may we'll
be proud of, as in the United States
more deaths are annually caused by it
than by diphtheria, scarlet fever and
appendicitis combined.

DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING.
Eject OF the Electric Fluid on Fine
Trees-HenIing Treatment.

Eject OF the Electric Fluid on Fine
Trees-HeaIing Treatment.
Severe storms have done heavy dam
age in various regions this season, and
especially have many fine specimen
trees been torn by high winds or struck
by lightning.
Sometimes a tree is killed outright
by the stroke of lightning. but more
generally the damage is local and con-
fined to one or two limbs or to the
trunk. Shattering by the electric fluid
is not at all uncommon. but sometimes
the damage is not visible on the out
side The fluid enters the tree maybe
in the upper part, and the damage be-
comes visible near the ground. The
bark of the tree becomes loosened and
is sometimes completely ripped of. In
that lies the danger. not in the promi-
nent scar in the hard wood.
American Gardening in commenting
on these cases says the proper method
of treating trees struck by lightning
varies in nearly every individual case.
If the tree is lightly struck and the
bark is only injured in narrow per-
pendicular strip. the best method of
treatment is the removal of any loos-
ened and ragged portions of the bark,
leaving a clean cut edge, and the paint
ing of the wound. This paint should
be renewed until the new bark heals
entirely over the scar. Bridge graft
ing-that is. inserting strips of live tbs
sue at intervals-is sometimes used in |
this connection.
The treatment given to a large tulip |
tree recently which was badly shat
tered by lightning and the bark loos-
ened nearly all the way round to a
height of from eight to ten feet was
the application of a plaster of well rot
ted COW manure and the binding Of the
bark tightly with ropes
As a general rule the use of grating /
wax instead Of the application Of ma
nure is far preferable. The treatment
with manure has. however. proved eff
cacious in different instances.

lie JAPANEsE REp GROSS.
Probably the Finest Organization OF
the Kind In the World.

/ AnE IN Ane WOEAus
The Red Cross society of Japan is
probably, all things considered, the
finest organization of the kind in the
world. 1t has been growing and i'm
proving constantly since its small ori-
/ gin in 1877 and now has nearly a mil
lion members, an excellent relief or
ganization and large funds. Its meth
DDS are radically different from any
volunteer aid we have yet seen in
America, for its fundamental assump-
ton is that the army knows its own
business and is competent TO attend to
it. Its general attitude instead of i'm
plying, "We know the medical depart
ment will break down in the field, and
therefore we insist on going to the
front and into the camps to supply its
defects" indicates this, 1.-The people of
Japan appreciate so highly the work
of the medical department that they
ask the privilege of assisting it,"
On the contrary, in the Spanish
American war we had a multiplicity
of small societies, meaning well, but
working blindly and at cross purposes,
accomplishing good at an altogether
disproportionate cost Of money and Ia
Dor and not infrequently interfering
with and handicapping the work of the
responsible medical officers.
But in the Japanese-Russian war
there is a single great, well prepared
organization, the ally and assistant Of
the medical officers, working only
where it is instructed that it will be of
use and accomplishing vast good at a
minimum cost.
The Japanese Red Cross society is
characteristic Of the nation, for every !
war, campaign and great disaster since |
its foundation has been to its officers a I
lesson by which they have prOfted. In /.
the present war they are always on the |
alert to discover their defects, to learn
how to remedy them and to gain new |
ideas for improvement. 1t was as one |
of many means to attain these ends /
that some American army nurses were
wanted in the japanese hospitals,
where their work could be carefully
observed, and for the same reason the
writer was appointed by the minister
Of war as supervisor of nurses of the
Red Cross with the rank of officer,
sent to many hospitals and required to
make reports and recommendations to
the Red Cross society. A Japanese
ady, by profession a teacher, had for
nerly held this position, but since her
leath it had been vacant.-Anita New

SLOW TO PAY.
How Some of the Rich Society Folks
Try to Dodge Their Bills.

( ANs 10 DnAAG AAGAA RAAANs
1t is notorious that the rich are often
scandalously slow in paying their, bills.
/ recall one instance where the VIE of
a multimillionaire (she was afterward
4 divorced took no notice month after
month of a bill amounting to over S2O,-
600 for her daughters wedding trous-
seau, and this bill was not paid for
more than year after the ceremony
and only then because a resourceful
collector "held up" the multimillionaire
himself in the street one day and final
ly got his check.

en- in the smart set, two of them very
rich, who are wont to haggle over
prices in the shops as if they were in
genteel poverty. One of these ladies
whose snowy Newport fetes are wide
ly proclaimed, tried on a certain occa-
sion to beat down" an estimate for
candle shades, favors, etc, that she
wanted in hurry for a dinner dance,
and, having failed in her effort, she
finally exclaimed: "Why, you oughtn't
to charge me a cent for these things!
Think of the advertising you can get
out of it! If you treat me right I'll
see that your place is mentioned by all
the reporters!

couldn't afford. she declared out of the
small allowance made her by her hus-
band
When l was in Newport last summer
people were laughing at the latest pet
ty economy of this same husband, who
is certainly one of the Closest of our
idle milliOnaires. He had heard of a
new aluminium paint warranted to
keep shiny without much rubbing. End |
he had forthwith given orders that the /
brasses on his beautiful yacht be [
smeared over with this paint so that /
he might reduce his payroll by the |
wages of two sailors previously needed |
to clean these brasses! This gentle /
mans income must be at least S4OC9,- |

ON BRITISH SHIPS.
The Life of the Seaman Ts Hardly
Worth the Living.

Worth the Living.
Among the many matters that are
troubling Englishmen is the practical
disappearance of the native British sea-
man and the increase Of foreign sail
Ors on British ships. Percival Gibbon
throws some light on the cause. He
says: "The life is not worth living
The whole truth of the affair is in that
fact The rates at which cargo must
be carried require that the mere food
eaten shall be of the lowest and cheap
est quality. The board of trade regu-
lates the quantity and insures a certain
variety, but q speak from experlencel
this avails nothing to make the fare or
dinarily palatable. Its staple is bis
cult, salt beef and salt pork. Meals
are eaten in the fOrecastle, where a ta-
bic or a bench is rarity, and the men
must find their own plates, knives,
forks and other equipment. The ship
gives only the food and the bare hunks.
The wage of sailor is always small
Taking recent years, 1 think a fair
average Of the monthly wages from
home ports would be $40. 1t means
that no sailor can bring up a family
or keep a wife, and it certainly means
that no man can hope to save enough
to insure some provision for his old
age. As a matter of fact I never met
a seaman who attempted to. The mon
ey goes as soon as it is received in
establishing as sharp a contrast as pos
sible with the aching discomfort and
barrenness of life at sea. The man has
no appetite for delicacies. When his
term of bitter hardship is at an end he

shas no option but to ship again as soon
as possible and earn some more.
"In 1896 I shipped in Philadelphia as
able seaman aboard a wooden full
rigged ship, bound round the Horn for
San Francisco. There were seven able
seamen besides myself, four ordinary
seamen and a boy We had a fearful |
passage of I76 days, during which we
lost four A BIS and the boy. During
thirty days off the Horn all hands were
called twenty-five times; we ran short
of water and food, when we loosed
the halyards in Sacramento bay we
were too done up to lower away and
let the yards come crashing down on
to the caps 1T was about as hard a
passage as a ships company ever eS-
perienced.
Next day we were paid off. Ny
wages were $12, and were the best of
those received by the able seamen.
The ordinary seamen drew under $40.

delphia had eaten us up, and within
