Th,.x. Not in the Bible.

Philadelphia North American.
 'sWhat a vast amount of trouble the human race might have avoided if Eve hadn't eaten that apple" remark ed the "grouchy" individual when something especially displeased him;
 How do you know 1t was an apple asked the accurate man.
 'sWhy, the Bible says so, doesn't it?'
 NO. It has come to be popular belief that the fruit which was eaten by our first parents in the garden eastward In Eden was an apple, but there is no authority for this.
 "It is simply called the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: And when the woman saw the Ire" was good for food. and that 1t was pleasant to the eyes. and tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat. and gave also to her husband with her; and he did eat What Is there about an appleY
 "A great many popular quotations are attributed to the Bible. when in fact they had other sources.
 God tampers the wind to the shorn lamb is not from the Scriptures. but from A Sentimental Journey to Italy by Sterne.
 "'In the midst of life we are in death.' which Is found in the burial service. can be traced to Luther.
 From St. Paurs utterance, The love of money Is the root of all evil,' we have twisted the saying. Money Is the root of evil Cleanliness Is next to godliness' was uttered by Johon wes- ley in a sermon on dress. The merci- ful man is merciful to his beast Is a popular rendering of the proverb. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast The tongue is an unruly member appears in the epistle oi James as The tongue can no man tame. 1t is an unruiy evir's

Medicine Ia China.

North China Herald.
 Much is heard in these days of the awakening of China. and undoubtedly progress is being made in various d. rsctions. But medical science. as 1t is known to the native practitioner. remains pretty much in the condition de scribed in the memoirs of Le Comte, published in the Seventeenth Century. For centuries medical knowledge has been at a standstill, and the population has been at the mercy of the ignorant charlatans who pass themselves of as doctors. Tn spite of over half century of close con- tact with Europeans. the Chinese doc tor of today remains ignorant of the rudiments of anatomy and physiology and has the most ludicrous notion of the functions of the internal organs and the causes of disease.

Philadelphia was unauestionably the leading city in colonial times and Jur- ing the Revolution; 1t was the nations first capital; 1t was the place where the Declaration of Independence was drafted and signed, and Independence Hall, in which the Continental Con- gress adopted the immortal document. stands practically unchanged to this day. Philadelphia was also the home of Benjamin Franklin. and among other claims of primacy are the first brick house built in America. l6Ss."
