chapter 80 and Apocryphal Book of
Manassas Prayer.
Manassas Prayer-The repentance and
restoration of Manassas furnish the sub
Ject or many legendary stories. The
Greek text which is the basis of the
translation which constitutes the twelfth
book of the Apocrypha is undoubtedly
original, and not mere translation from
the Hebrew. The writer was we'll &C.
quainted with the Xxx. But beyond this
there is nothing to determine the date at
Whlch he lived. . !. The allusion to
the patriarchs Il, 81, appears to fix the
authorship on Jew: but the clear teach
ing on repentance points to some time not
long before the Christian era. There is
no indication of the place at which the
prayer was written. The earliest refer
ence to the prayer is contained in a
fragment of Julius Africanus (cir 221 A.
ID. but 1t may be doubted whether the
words in their original form clearly re-
ferred to the present composition. The
prayer was never distinctly recognized
as canonical writing, though it was in
cludea in many manuscripts of the Xxx
and of the Latin version, and has been
deservedly retained among the Apoc-
rypha in authorized versions and by Lu-
Their. The Latin translation which &C.
ours In Vulgate Manuscripts is not by
the hand of Jerome.

WARNED BY THE DENTIST.
Dire Results Of Biting Thread Worth
Taking to Heart.

I'll never be able to do much for

biting your thread"

minds me of the days when grand
mother threatened me with a whip

One habit is just as reprehensible
as the other" said the dentist. You
ought to be able to see you own teeth,
then you would realize that you de-
serve good scolding. The edges are
as uneven as saw. Now, If you were
a professional dressmaker, or a fec
tory hand you would know better than
to bite your thread. They seldom do
it. They have learned the art of snip
ping it off with the scissors without
loss of time. and don't have to NAL
treat their teeth. 1t is you women who
do good deal of sewing in non
professional capacity who think the
quickest way to break thread is to
bite it. That may be good for the
progress of the work. but 1t is bad for
the teeth.
fortunately. you can't bite with the
whole mouthful of teeth at the same
time. SO most of them escape. Those
that really do the work are the incis.
