WHOSE WAS IT7
4 Rare Coin, Two Bargain Sales and
Three Questions.

A scholar travelling in the east
says that he was once in camp with
his friend Ramsay, man of kin
dred tastes, in wretched Phrygian
village far from the track Of travel
ers. AS they were striking tents in
the morning a heavy faced boy
brought Mr.. Ramsay handful Of
bronze for sale. He sorted it rapid
ly on the palm of his hand and
found among the rubbish one very
rare coin Of Hierapois. Then he
put it all back again in the boys
outstretched palm and offered half
dollar for the lot. The boy ac-
cepted the bid, gave back the hand
full, took his money and disappear
cd, while the exultant purchaser
went chuckling off among the
horses.
Ten minutes later the boy ap-
peared again and, going up to the
other Englishman, offered another
handful Of rubbish, among which
was the same rare Metropolitan
coin. The gentleman kept the
bronze in his hand and offered a
half dollar for it, which the boy re-
fused, though the bargain was
eventually concluded for dollar.
Then the gentleman, in high glee,
hailed his companion and, showing
his purchase, informed him that he
was not the only man who possessed
a coin Of Hierapohs.
"Iet us compare" said the other,
emptying the pocket where his
bronze was jingling.
He sorted the lot and felt in
every pocket. No coin of Hierapolis
was there. To this day three ques-
tions remain unanswered:
How did the boy retain the coin
in the first instance in order to sell
it over again?
How, in that remote region, far
from the haunts of travellers, did he
know the value Of his fnd2
And to which purchaser did the
coin really belong3

The Vlneoar Bible,

The "vinegar Bible" was thus
named from a ludicrous typograph-
ical blunder, the parable Of the
vineyard" in the twentieth chapter
Of Luke, being made to read the
parable Of the vinegar" This edi-
ton of the Bible was published In
IVY, and most Of the copies were
destroyed by the publishers, though
several got into circulation before
the blunder was discovered. 1t is
asserted that not more than dozen
copies Of this book are now in en-
istence.
