Love and Lynchinq in Turkey.

TransIating the Bible Into Hindi.

writes Or. Hooper, in the July Strand,
mat wrong. and in some cases an
eVii, meaning was suggested to native
minds by what seemed to us innocent
wording. Taking, for instance the pas

closing the eyes after death. So we rem
dered it. forgetting that the Hindus have
not this custom. After a time the native

his father SO fond of him. How comes it.

Joseph. being the stronger hits his father
on the eye so far as TO close it?' There
was no help for it, after this. but to rem
der the passage simply. Joseph shall

ITO give another example: in Isaiah
mention is made of the man who 'sliak-
eth his hands from holding of bribes.' BY
the time we came to revise this passage
we had learned the necessity of much in
terpretation and so it came before us in
the form. He that. if a bride is slipped
into his hand dashes it down The native
assistant said. 4 know what you mean
by this. and it might be taken in that
sense. But it would be more likely to he
taken to mean that the man was dissat-
isfed with the bride offered and dashed it
TO the ground in disdain. to secure lar

never takes brides. and if one is slipped

BEGINNINGS of Modern Restaurant.

In primitive times the only places iii
London where the public could be en-
tertained with food had been the
cooks shops. The famous East Cheap
was a great thoroughfare, down which
the stalls of the butchers alternated
with those of the cooks. You chose a
joint at the flesh market and you car
ried it next door to be cooked for you
by a certain hour. If you wished for
wine. you must bring that with you,
for the cooks sold no liquor. although
they seem to have provided. as time
went on. more and more of the nat
ural Accomplishments of meat. such as
bread, vegetables and pastry. This
habit continued until well into the
reign of Elizabeth, and so long as such
an inconvenient custom prevailed there
could have been no real comfort for
any citizen who chose - dine abroad
He must have haG as much trouble
with porteraSe and baskets as coun-
try party has today at Il picnic But
about the time that Shakespeare came

and the practice of public hospitality
and entertainment was singularlv IA
cllltated. The nature of this change
lay in the sudden development of the
tavern. and the consequent withdraw
al of the work shop. The Worshipful
Company of Pastclars. as the cooks
were called. ceased to enjoy the mon
