THE CIRCULATION
OF THE BIBLE

The Vindicator. a statistician tells
US that the Bible is now published in
over 600 languages and that every
year from eight to ten new language
arc added to the list, During the
Tear which ended May |, the British
and Foreign Bible Society distributed
S.g5S,233 copies OF the Bible entire
or in part. During the same period
the American Bible Society circulated
no less than 5,251 ,l76 copies Of the
entire scriptures or bourd portions of
the Bible. A grand total by all Bible
societies Of more than 100000 cop
les is the best answer we can offer to
the critics. During the past year in
China alone 2,1SS,00 Bibles were dis
tributed in the various Chinese din
lects.

STUDY OF BABYOLOGY
FEW POINTS CONCERNING THE

In Small Sizes.

Babyology Ia very fascinating
study. SO absorbing, In fact, that II
is better for n beginner to study
some one else's baby. Then the sub
ject can be dropped--in soft place.
OF course--at any time. Undertaking
to study her own baby. the student
may have so much knowledge thrust
upon her that her brain reels and her
| back aches, yet she cannot play hooRy
without mourning the penalties OF the
truant law.
A male baby may grow M to be n
philosopher and gentleman, but in
his earlier years ne is as unrcason-
ing and ill.tempered as n hornet He
will howl without provocation and
kick his own mother In the face while
she is trying to pun pin out of his
leg.
A girl baby always has a chance TO
become Il sweet, loveble, useful wom'
an: but If she is the only baby, has
foolishly fond parents, and is unpro.
tected from prandrnotherly influences,
the chance is only one In a million.
A man hates to play second fiddle to
anything. and most of all does he rebel
at taking back seat in his own
home; but when baby comes he soon
learns TO accept an uncushioned pow
IN the extreme raa" and to be grateful
| for that.
Wide bankers will advise n Gus.
toner who can afford it to put some Of

TO INVESTIGATE GOVERNMENT.

Government has been very active for several years
investigating big business Now big business proposes to
investigate government The proposition comes from Chi
cago and is meeting with approval all over the country
1t is neat turning of the tables and if big business
can accomplish as much toward making government hon
est and efficient as government has done in that direction
for big business the results will be good all around
For be understood that there is nothing sacred about
government There is proper reason why honest and
efficient methods should not be applied to it.
Government has been investigating business and con-
gress has been passing laws based the assumption that
The men who have devoted all their adult lives to the study
of the problems of business and attempt to develop the
resources of the country dishonest and do not under
stand their business. Commissions Of one kind and an
other created by congress appointed by the president
have been acting vigorously on this assumption
1t is unjust to assume that the Chicago business men
who are planning to show how little the politicians know
about running government moved by spirit Of re-
aliaton Business men are not quite outlaws They have
a real interest in good government Possibly they may
know something about running it.
The chances that if those who have developed the
extremely hazardous and speculative business Of produc
inc refining and distributing petroleum. for instance to
such state Of perfection that it is marvel Of efficiency
in all countries to turn their attention to the post
office department they would to it that efficiency and
economy were introduced into it and that it would pay its
way.
The curse of the business end of government is that it
is mixed with politics. to the undong of both economy and
efficiency
