Costly Picture In Lumber Room.

A picture estimated to be worth
$4,000. which for so many years was
hidden away In lumber room at st.

Owing to damp and an accumulation

BUILDING UP A NEW WORD
Science Responsible for More Built,
Up Words Than Classic English
Ever Dreamed Of.

"Esophagoscopy" is one of the
newest words which the scientist OF
necessity has coined AS science has
progressed in its many lines, it has
been responsible for more "built-up'
terms than classic English could have
dreamed Of.
Take this new word, 'esophagos.
COPY" 1t is combination of the noun
."esophagus,' meaning the channel
through which the food from the
mouth reaches the stomach, while
the last two syllables are made OF
"scope"-as used in telescope, micro.
scope. spectroscope. Thus the COM
bination suggests a way and means
for allowing the surgeon to look down
the esophagus in search of foreign
distractions or Of injuries to the or
gan.
One of the leading physicians OF ST.
Paul has been gathering statistics
showing the enormous number and
variety of foreign substances that are
swallowed by persons Of all ages and
which often result fatally. He says
that in almost any case Of the kind a
pin, needle, button, bone and even
teeth plates are swallowed and In the
beginning may be little more than an
unpleasantness. Here Is the oppor
tunity for using the esophagoscope

OF Ways of CATCHING Fish.

The Icelanders are said at one time

the fishermen use branches OF pine

OLD PURITAN BIBLE BOXES
Curious Carved Chests for the Safe
Keeping Of Copies Of the
Scriptures.

fimcrt Invariably after some great
wave or religious enthusiasm, we are
confronted by strange fragments OF

sion ard religious ardor of departed

dtvoticna carvings Of the middle
age The triptyches, the private tab
erEae'es. the beautiful little ivory

Among such memorials are the vast
I'D Puritan Bible boxes. Cumbrous,
fncient arks. into which the revised
version CT James I. was once commit
ted ior safe ward and keeping. The
sound oakbcards with which they were
made have resisted the tooth of time
IN the long journeys Of the men OF
the Puritan period, when the scrip
lures were part of the daily accom-
panlment OF life, the province of these
old boxes may readily be seen. With
in the home they were made to con-
tain those ponderous family Bibles In
which. especially during the common
wealth, the head of the house care
fully inscribed the birth, death or mar
sriage OF his children with other memo
rabilia CT family life. This circum-
stance in the absence Of other anthem
tic records, and the laxity of parish
registers, has sometimes proved an in
valuable aid. How little we could have
spared, for instance. that volume in
which Milton recorded the very hour
and minute of his childrens birth.
Ash wood was sometimes used in
the manufacture of Bible boxes, but
oak was the most popular from its
superior powers of resistance, for we
must remember they were at times in
the possession Of ecclesiastical stall
warts, the vigor Of whose preaching
was sometimes calculated by the
amount of damage done to the pulpit
furniture.
Throughout the commonwealth, and
by the general convention OF 1856,
travelling ministers were gratuitously
supplied with Bibles, very expensive
item; and in struggling pastorates the
book. with its appropriate Golfer, often
formed the sole effects of a new con-
venticle. 1t is curious fact that
Bibles were sometimes subjected to
rafting, even In those austere days.
In 1875 one DR.. Wilde bequeathed $3.50
for the purpose of providing Bibles to
be rallied among the poorer brethren.
