Arriving at Chatsworth they passed
slowly through room after room OF

The Bible is the most popular book
in the world on account OF its pure
literature. Say what We will concern

DDS Of style and beauties OF express
sion, doubt if anyone will approach
some of the passages which can be
found in the Psalms. in the Prophets.
or in the Book of Revelation.
Considering the fact that these writ
ings have come to us through transla-
tions. it is astonishing what beauties
and power have been preserved There
is no book quoted oftener that the
Bible. Passages have been woven en-
tire into our own literature. No writ
er of any prominence has ever been
able to escape borrowing from the
Bible. The reading of It has affected
the style of writer's like Ruskin and
Browning and Milton. Gladstone re-
peatedly acknowledged his indebted
ness to the Bible for his phraseology.
Charles Fox said more than once that
he owed TO the perusal of the Bible
his vocabulary. The variety of ex-
preston to be found on the part OF
the different writer's is strangely com
mingled with unity of expression due
in large part to the fact that all of
these men are writing with at least
one great purpose in view For We
have in the Bible a style which is

WHICH is THE BEST HEMP
600 Hens in an Egg-Laying Race Now
Going on in Connecticut.

According to the current issue of Farm
and Fireside, a yearlong egg-laying con-
test is now going forward at the Con-
neeticut agricultural college at Storrs,
Connecticut Every breed and variety
is represented. When the contest is
over. five or six hundred birds with
records will leave Storrs to be bred
from. 1t is believed that the data pro-
duced by this contest may help raise
the present average of seventy eggs
per year per hen in this country some
what nearer the coveted two hundred per
year and thus affect favorably the cost
of living
This is the first egg-laying contest
ever held in this country and is inter
national in character, there being en-
tries from many different countries.
The hens are housed in new plant
built by the college, consisting Of fifty
specially designed houses, two pens to
a house. During the first nineteen weeks
of the contest 1880 eggs were laid. A
part of the article follows:
The nineteenth week of the egg
laying contest ended with the English
pen Of White Leghorns, leaders since
the first, still in the lead with total
of 800 eggs, an average OF 10 $40. They
are improving their average and hold
ing their lead WELL The second pen is
one of Rhode Island Reds belonging TO
e. S. Edgerton, West Wellington. Con-
necticut, with a total of 3l5 eggs.
As a breed. the White Leghorns are
getting into the game again, and so are
the Barred Rocks. Urpngton's and
Rhode Island Reds are still little ahead
in proportion to the number of entries,
but the other two breeds are coming
along well.
THE surprise of the week was the
sudden squirt of the Dark Cornish In
dian Games with total for the week
of 80 out of a possible 80 eggs. These
belong to John w. Ward, ir., Pennington,
New Jersey.
1.-TWO thousand one hundred and forty
eight eggs were laid by the 400 birds for
the week"

A Strong Basis for Industrial Peace.

Industrial peace? Impossible!" ex-
claim many men of force and intelli-
gence who can conceive of no way TO
bring order out of the chaos of hos
tile factions in the industrial world.
"a single fact has convinced these
men," says Allan T. Burns, of the Pitts
burg civic commission in The Survey.
"That fact is the practical cessation of
war ON interstate railroads, the indus
try most essential for the conduct of
modern life. Once they have grasped
the operation of the Erdmann act, they
are quick to recognize that here has been
laid an adequate foundation for indus
trial peace.
"The Erdmann act is federal law
of 1893 providing for mediation and ar
bitration in controversies affecting rail-
WAYS and such employees as are actually
engaged in train operation. 1t has dealt
in single controversy with 10000 en-
ployes, and with fifty roads, involving
100000 miles of line. Its total opera
tion has embraced forty-seven disputes
affecting 100000 men and 100000 miles
of road-all this in the last five years.
No serious dispute on an interstate rail
iuau mas ARISEN III tiils peIiuu where Tue
act has not been invoked All but one
of these disputes where mediation was
accepted were amicably settled. Only
three times was mediation rejected.
Every case of arbitration has ended in
the acceptance by both sides of the
award.
What wonder that suddenly this fed
eral law has become the starting point
of nationwide discussion of the means
to establish more and more widely in
industrial relationsl"
