The EnaLish of the Bible.

This noble work Is remembered
with our lands language as is none
other nor can be; it is warp and wool
of the English mind; it is largely the
history of the English people,. Did
we not venerate it, gather around 1t,
cherish it as a national shrine, we
should be poor Englishmen indeed. 1t
beggars every other English transla-
ton, not least the Revised, which hap
PLY is seldom read in our Anglican
churches. If any one would feel the
splendor of the Authorized Version
let him dip into translation, done by
some one lately, of the New Tesla
ment into common English of today;
he will blush for his jargon.-London

Apples In British Markets.

The apple is the most important
fruit coming to the British market.
American apples are very popular, led
by such varieties as the Newtown Pip
pin and the Hood River. The only OBJ
lection urged is that of size. The
most popular sizes are those ranging
from 100 to $50 crate, whereas some
Of the arrivals from Oregon and Cal
ifornia run as large as 70 or 80 a
crate. The English retail trade does
not want the extra large apple. Fruit
is sold by the pound, and the number
Of fruit that can be contained in a
fixed weight plays a large part in its
sale.

Valuable Scientific Discovery.

A discovery suggesting the posi-
bility of the partial transmutation of
precious stones by means of radium
has Just been made accidentally at
the Cornish radium works. One of the
chief officials who daily handles the
tubes containing the rare element no
ticed that a diamond in his ring
seemed to change color and increase
in brilliancy. Since then several ex-
periments have been made. A variety
of precious stones have been enclosed
in a box with two tubes, each contain
ing so milligrams of radium. Every
stone changed color after exposure of
different duration. Some magnificent
tints have been obtained, including a
delicate pink in one diamond.

Mistake to Assume That Wild Oats
Must First Be Sown
What a force there is in our text,
Remember now thy Creator in the
days of thy YOUTH What a great
mistake some parents make in assum-
ing that their children must have an
experience in sowing wild oats De-
fore they will be prepared to apprecI-
ate righteousness and become it's serv-
ants! This thought is reflected upon
the minds of the young, both male
and female; rarely do they seek to live
by a higher standard than that ex-
pected of them by their parents or
guardians We have known sanity
mothers to unintentionally lay snares
for the feet of their children by in
Producing them to ways of the world
In which they themselves would not
walk Their expressed sentiment was,
II must not put upon these children
the weight of the cross, nor expect or
them saintship: if ever they become
truly consecrated saints of God they
will then know the trials of the mar
row way and have plenty of them"
Alas such Christian mothers have
failed to grasp the situation properly.
They have failed to realize that, at
the present time. there is no real hap
piness in the world except in the mar,

Its Own Punishment.

A man deserted from the British

prospered, but since then his con-

A ODDLY YOUNG KING

WING MANASSEH of our last
lesson had a bad son, Anon,
u "a who reigned but two years,
and was murdered by his
courtiers In his own palace. His son,
Josiah, the central figure of today's
study, became king in his eighth year.
By the time he was sixteen his heart
had begun to seek after and to desire
to serve the Almighty God. BY the
time he was twenty his religious con-
victions were so deep and fixed, and
his authority as a king SO in his own
hands that he dared to begin the work
of reformation. The idols and their
temples and groves for idolatrous
worship were destroyed. The valley
of Hinnom, as already suggested, was
desecrated and made a dumping place

America lost her two most daring and

sey, on Saturday last.
John b. MOisant, the first man to carry
a passenger by aeroplane from Paris to
London and winner Of the Statue Of Lib

fall at Harakam, La, near New Orleans.
Arch Hoxsey, who but a few days ago
broke the worlds record for altitude. fell
500 feet to instant death at Los Angeles
Wliat caused the accidents can only be
guessed at The equilibrium Of the aero
planes was overcome for an instant in
some manner and they came tumbling to
earth.
Moisant fell short distance. but he was
hurled from his machine. falling on his
head 36 feet away and breaking his neck.
Hoxsey was crushed under his machine

duration record for the year 1910.
Moisant was in a Bleriot Hoxsey in his
famous Wright biplane.
Only few farmers saw Moisant hurled
to his DEATH but Hoxseys end came be-
fore the Mortified gaze of thousands who
had come out in the pleasant afternoon to
watch the bird-men. The days pleasure
ended when an announcer, sadly lifting
his megaphone, droned out the message /:
arch Hoxsey has been killed. There will
be no more flying today"

Fight Parcels Post.

While the advocates of large parcel
post are busy urging Congress to get be
hind the movement, strong opposition Il
such a measure has sprung up. Many
leading mercantile houses throughout the
country have inaugurated a campaign
against it. The organization formed fol-
this purpose is known as the American
League of Associations, and the fight ap.
pears to be on the part of the big whole
sale houses that sell to country merchants
as against the retail mail order houses
that sell direct to the consumer in the ru-
raj districts. There is plenty of money
behind the league and among its officers
are officials of such firms as Marshall
Field & Co. The officers say it has a
membership of about 800 firms in the
United States.
The headquarters of the league is in
Chicago, which is also the home of the
biggest retail mail order houses, against
which the fight is directed. For more than
year the organization has been in pro-
cess of formation but until recently its
movements have been marked by secrecy.
Many of the houses belonging to it con-
cealed identity by having credit men,
clerks and other employees represent them.
Now everything is in readiness for the
campaign and the personnel of the organi-
cation has been disclosed. Its treasurer is
David R. Fogan. President of the National
City Bank of Chicago.
The plan of campaign of the association
is to arouse country storekeepers to the
danger of their elimination through a ru-
raj parcels post and the creation of mail
order trust. 1t is argued that while under
the present postal system it costs a retail
mail order house, say "a cents to mail its
catalogue, the cost would be reduced to 10
or perhaps cents under the proposed law,
and the retail mail order merchant would
be put in closer touch with the consumer,
Large bundles of catalogues could be
the whole bundle sent by freight to the
rural postoffice, where it would be opened
and the catalogues dumped into the mails
for distribution by the rural carriers.
Members of the association have begun
sending to the country merchants with
whom they do business a form of petition
to be signed by them and sent to Congress.
The big retail mail order houses are now
considering what steps they shall take to
offset this attack and it has been suggested
that they seek to interest the consumers
directly, on the contention that the elmi-
nation Of the country merchant, if that
should be the result, would bring about
lower prices to purchasers.
