WANTS NO MODERNIzED BIBLE
King James Version the Best Of All,
Says Writer In Success
Magazine.

We are just old-fashioned enough to
take no stock in the modernized Bible
which is shortly to appear, "couched in
everyday language, with obsolete
words and phrases eliminated" The
King James Bible has done more to
preserve the good old Saxon words and
style, which are the best English lit
erature has produced, than anything
else. Instead Of a movement to get
US further away from that vigorous,
simple, classic style, and in the inter
est Of establishing the finest literary
ideals possible to people destined to
use the curious hybrid which the Eng
lish language has become, 1t would be
more sensible to frown upon all efforts
to improve on the King James Bible.
It is the greatest treasure house, In
spiration and teacher Of good English
that we possess.-Success Magazine.

tratlon shows n new method. 1t con-
sists in screwing a wedge into the top
Of the stump. The wedge is in reality
a large conical screw, provided at Its
lower end with a fine thread used for
starting the cone into the wood. The
shaft Of the screw is provided with a
hand wheel, by which 1t may be stead
led and turned. Extending laterally
from the shaft IL q long arm, at the
end Of which a whifnetree is coupled.
A horse may be hitched to the whifi-
tree, to turn the shaft and screw the
cone into the stump. When the stump
is too large for the threaded cone on
the shaft to split effectively, another
cone section may be added. After the
stump has been split by means Of the
cone into a number Of small parts
these parts can easily be excavated
and removed.

The principal causes for long churn.
ing are here given in the Montana ex.
pertinent station bulletin, and posi-
bly, those interested may find out
what is wrong by comparison with
these different causes. -..,..
1. Cream may be too cold.
2. Cream may be from "strippers."
8. Cream may be too thin.
4. Cream may be too thick, and
thus whip up into a lather when the
churning commences, and by sticking

6. You may be churning too fast
and thus carry the cream right around

would be bothered to that extent Prob
ably In looking over your work
some of these causes may give you

sses and cueumbsks.

A correspondent Of one Of the lead.
ing bee journals is authority for the
statement that more than 100 growers
Of dollhouse cucumbers in Massachus-
etts have found It necessary to keep
bees IN their buildings to 'set" or
fructffy the cucumbers. Over 1000 col.
onies are now being used in this way
and In most cases It has been found
necessary to replace these colonies
each year. This has created a steady
demand for bees, and the benefits dc.
rived have been so apparent that thiA
demand promises to grow. At present,
however, an earnest effort is being
made to determine II possible, why col.
onIes thus kept IN hothouses are short
lived, since the necessity of replacing
fhem almost yearly Is not only very
expensive but seems a great sacrifice
OF the industrious little insects.

The immediate predecessors OF the
Hoffman who first came to this coun-
try some time about the middle Of
seventeenth century are obscure, but
Tor a generation or so there had been
men Of prominence in the family. The
name is Of Swedish origin and prob
ably the several notable German and
Dutch physicians and philogolists Of
that name in the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries originally came from
Sweden. A good many Swedes did
emigrate to the German and Dutch
countries In the time Of Gustavus
Adolphus.
There are two derivations given for
the name Hoffman. One IL that the
name was originally Hoofdman. which
In Dutch means q captain or director
or chief man. The other derivation,
which is preferred. makes the Dutch
form now In general use, Hoffman, q
form Of the Scandinavian name Hopp-
man, as 1t originally appeared In
Sweden, meaning q man Of hope, and
analogous to the Anglo-Saxon Hope
kin, now abbreviated into Hophn.
meaning a child Of hope.
The first Hofmans In this country
settled In Delaware, date unknown,
and when Governor Stuyvesant con-
quered New Sweden he transferred
them TO New York to keep them from
rebelling In favor Of Queen Christina
Of their fatherland, Sweden. There
they promptly lost their identity
among the Dutch settlers, as the gov
ernor hoped they would.
