The Bible as Good Reading.

We have always, contended that the
Bible was the most interesting read
ing of any book we have ever read
In this opinion we now have the sup
port of United States senator, Albert
J. Beveridge of Indiana, whose book
"The Bible as Good Reading" has just
been published by Henry Altemus
company, of Philadelphia. Whoever
has neglected the reading of his Bible
will find in this book valuable guide
to the interesting portions OF thar
other Book, and whoever reads what
Senator Beveridge has to say will be
sure to read his Bible also.

Quinine in Sunfiower.

An eminent Spanish scientist has
made the recent discovery that the
sunflower yields a splendid febrifuge
that can be used as a substitute for
quinine. More than ten years ago Mon
corvo reported to the Therapeutical
Society of Paris with relation to the
same subject. Accordingly the sunfow-
eli should not only by its growing ex-
ert great fever-dispelling effect, but
also yield product which is used ad-
vantageously in all fevers.
