WANTS NO MoDERNlzED 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 a people destined to
use the curious hybrid which the Eng
fish language has become. 1t would be
more sensible to frown upon all efforts
TO improve on the King James Bible.
1t Is the greatest treasure house, IN
spiration and teacher Of good English I
that we possess.-Success Magazine.

NIEW YORK. - Produce dealers
IN throughout the country are watch
ing with interest the enforcement of
the ordinance recently passed in New
York requiring dealers to sell eggs by
the pound. When eggs are sold by the
pound the buyer is more likely to get
all that is coming to him. 1t is con-
coded that a fresh egg of average size
weighs more than one that is stale,
there being always mere or less evapo-
ration when an egg comes out of stor-
age. The difference is about an egg
to the pound. eight fresh eggs being
equal to nine out of storage.
1t is only the idealist or the optimist
who believes that eggs are either good
or bad, with no halfway about the
matter. Really this is fond delusion.
There are as many grades of eggs as
there are ways of making an omelet.
The range is all the way from that
rare article, the honestly labeled
strictly fresh" egg down to the Gull "
The Gull is a doubtful egg from the
start. but sometimes deposits. and
energies months later. Even then It
is not as low as an egg can sink, for
there is the desiccated egg, which was
laid In China, and has been a world
traveller before getting to the ultimate
consumer here.

Blandford, Shady Cove, Lakewood,
stood for three hours in great anxiety
on the lake front in the rear of her
home the other morning watching sig
nails of distress from six men in a
swamped power boat three miles from
shore in choppy sea.
This was after she had done every
thing in her power to save the i'm.
periled men. Mrs. Blandford was
looking out on the lake when her at
tention was attracted by something
white waving off shore. Immediately
a thought struck her it was a danger
signal. She rushed into the house for
her field glasses, and through them
could plainly distinguish six men in a
launch bailing water with all their
might. One of the men was frantical-
ly waving a white cloth fastened to a
cane.
She hurried to the telephone in her
home and called up the life-saving
crew. Then, you should have seen
that woman, standing full of anguish
and anxiety watching the men in dis
tress. She waved her handkerchief

Nerve-Racking Noises of the CITY

tricts fresh and pure air, are doing
good work, but they would do a great
er. work IL they would give the people
more rest. Restful sleep is quite as
essential as good food Every adult
should have at least seven or eight
hours Of perfect, dreamless, rebuild
ing sleep; but with all the noises of
the city this seems almost impossible.
To rob a person of sleep is as much
thievery as to put your hand into his
pocket and take his money, for ade.
Quate sleep means money, health and
life to the man who must labor in or.
der to live. The coming generations
will pay as much attention to promot.
ing rest to the citizens of the com.
monwealth as to guarding them
against poisonous microbic influences.
The unnecessary noises of modern
times are turning the nation into a
multitude of sleep Inconsistencies. Men
become nervous wrecks and are az a
loss to understand why until they re-
feet on the few hours Of sleep they
get from day to day.

How about the supply of worthless
meowing cats that live in garbage
boxes and make sleep impossible at
night?"
There is no diminution in their
supply. The cats, like the dogs, are
ever with us. The cat is a more elu-
sive animal than the dog. 1t can skin
over the backyard fences and hide in
inaccessible places. The dog can't
climb. The cat is harder, therefore,
to capture. We hesitate to deal with
cats in many cases because warning
neighbors often grab each others pet
cats and send them to us for final
treatment We are thus made inno-
cent parties to family quarrels. We
are doing all we can. however, to ex-
terminate cats"

WOMAN RUNS A MOUSE FARM

Why is the average woman more
afraid of a mouse than of her hus'
bands wrath over her milliner's bill?
Why at the sight of a wee, inoffensive
rodent, will she fly screaming to
table or chair to the accompaniment
OF reckless display of hosiery? And
can anybody under the sun explain
why the nervy young woman who will
grapple with and capture a burglar
and turn him over to the police, will
pull off lovely fainting fit If anybody
shouts, Look at the mouse!"
Absolutely for the first time in be-
frilled womandom. real, live and nor
NAL woman has advanced to the firing
line with answers to the foregoing
question. This daring woman is Miss
Abbie E. c. Lathrop, the owner of a
successful mouse farm at CRANKY,
Mass. She raises yearly from 5000 to
10000 rats and mice for medical lab
oratories.
"Woman's fear Of the mouse" says
Miss Lathrop 81 believe dates back to
the Garden of Eden. There can be no
possible doubt about It, for as far back
as | have been able to go in the his
tory of the world, women have hoped,
skipped and jumped at the sight OF a
mouse"
In her rodent family, Miss Lathrop
has mice of ten different colors and
20 combinations of color. White is
ordinary and black is not startling,
but when it comes to cream-colored
mice or orange mice, one is surprised.
She also has silver, blue and agouti
mice.
The red mice are much the colo: Of
the bay OF horse and the blue mouse
is about the color of a maltese cat.
The agouti mice have dark brown hair
with yellow tips which gives a golden
brown effect. Her silver mice with
ruby eyes are the rarest combinations.

VICAR HAS STRANGE CALL

Rev. Thomas Eddleston, formerly
rector of High Roding, Essex. Eng,
recently commenced his duties as
vicar of Braintree, and in an address
from the pulpit explained why he had
transferred from the one living to the
other, thereby sacrificing about $500
year.
He said before he knew that the
Braintree living was vacant he woke
up in the middle Of the night at High
Roding, and heard a strange passage
Of Scripture ringing in his ears:
Take this child away and nurse it
for me, and l will give thee thy
wages"
The vicar said he thought there
must be a child in distress at High
Roding, and he searched about the
parish for two days to see if there
was anyone being neglected, but he
could find no one. Then he received
the offer of the living at Braintree,
and regarding it as direct call from
God, he accepted, as he considered It
his duty to undertake the nursing of
the children of Braintree.

Sell Eggs by the Pound in New York

These desiccated eggs are removed
from their shells In China, put into
cans with preservatives, and then
tinent to this city, where they are sold
in bulk for use in bread and pastry
making in the cheaper bakeries. Some
doubt has been raised as to the nutri-
tive value and legality of those fresh
China eggs as food product. But
they have one great advantage. from
the consumers point Of view-no way
has been discovered yet Of putting
them into shells and selling them as
fresh laid eggs from Long Island
farm.
New Workers are not apt to get any
thing more foreign in the way of eggs
in their shells than the product Of the
memories Of Germany and Austria.
Within a week, $4,000 dozen of eggs
from those countries have been receiv-
ed in New York City by way of Hull,
England, and are now in the local mar
wet. AS many more are on the way,
and they sell for a few cents less than
the American egg. Covered with a
paraffn preparation which excludes
the air, they remain in the fresh"
class for long time.
1t is possible that if the New York
idea of selling eggs by the pound
proves practical and satisfactory other
cities may follow suit. If they do the
wholesaler declares the retailer must
rearrange his prices to suit. So far as
the former is concerned the rates are
not affected. The average weight OF a
case of eggs is from As to 90 pounds,

Finally, she ran into the house, I'M
fastened the horn from the phono-
graph and used 1t as a megaphone.
The wind was so strong, however,
that her voice failed TO reach the
men.
1t was sometime before the life
saving boat hove into sight. When the
crew did come, they could not make
directly for the distressed boat, but
were forced to describe a circular
path of several miles before they
could reach them.
The six men aboard the launch
were members of vacation party.
They left early in the morning in a
rough sea, and when about three
miles off Highland avenue the waves
became so high as to reach over into
the boat. The water crippled the en-
CINE, and the men were at the mercy
of the sea. About all they could do
was to cast anchor and bail the water
out as It was rushing in, and try to
signal some one on shore.
Captain Hansen and his crew of
life-savers finally reached the boat
and rescued the imperilled men. Or
dinarily the life-saving crew is first
to espy any boating accident, but on
this particular occasion the crew was
out on another call and had it not
been for the efforts of Mrs. Blandford
before the attention of the crew
the men would likely have persisted
could have been attracted.
