Copy of Rare Bible

In Wolfenbuttel, Hesse. Germany.
is an old bible which is greatly treas
ured. In that passage in Gene
sis where God told Eve that
Adam shall be her master and shall
rule over her, the German translation
is "Und er soil diem herr sein.' Herr,
which means master, does not occur
in this bible. but instead there ap-
pears the word 'narr," which means
fool. The error was caused by quar-.
rel between the printer and his wife
in the year 1880. The wife was venge-
full and in the silent watches of the
night she entered the room where her
husband had been setting type and
maliciously changed herr" into
MARI" The printer was arrested af-
ter the book had been printed and
the mistake discovered; but his APP
prentice testified that he saw the wife
steal into the composing room and al
ter the word The woman was i'm
prisoned for blasphemy and died in
prison. Orders were given that all
the copies of the edition should be
destroyed. This was done, with the
exception of the one copy in the Wolf
enbuttel library.

arhs Confederate Colonel

No class of men in the world have
better manners than the southern gem
tleman. The type of this class is a
dignified man, who insists upon being
treated with respect but who always
comedies 10 others that which he de-
mands from them. He is deferential
in his manner and assumes that the
customs and views Of others are en-
titled to respect. In intercourse with
a Spaniard the typical confederate
colonel would never by word or ges-
ture intimate that he considered him
self in any respect the superior OF the
gentleman with whom he might be
talking or that his business methods
were more modern. In other words,
the southern colonel" has charming
manners. and what was written by
Native Of New England" was to say
in effect that good manners are ousi-
ness assets worth using.-Baltimore

to be driven away, but to little effect
