BIBLES.

You are wont to think of. the Bible

wonderful Bible in the world? asks

1t is known as the CodeX Aureus, or
golden codex, because the lettering is
all laid on the parchment in pure
gold. 1t is of value for totally diff
ferent reason, however. 1t is written
in the Gothic tongue, and a notation
on it which bears the date $40 A. D..
calls it an ancient manuscript, even at
that time. 1t consists of large por-
tons of the four gospels and is of the
greatest value to scholars because it
has preserved so much of that long
dead language.
A much more spectacular copy of
the Scriptures is the one that is
known as the devils Bible" one of
the famous things to see in the city of
Stockholm, Sweden. 1t rests on a
large table in the Royal library, and
it is remarkable work of art.
It's origin is enshrouded in tradi-

ANOTHER LEGEND EXPLODED
THE "BLACK HOLE OF CAL
cUTTA" LOSES ALL ITS TER
RoRS UNDER THE FER
LIGHT OF HISTORY.

The five words, 'The Black Hole of
Calcutta" for one hundred and sixty
years have visualiZed the height and
depth and breadth of all horror, says
the Kansas City Star. Nothing in
frightfulness and human torture
could go beyond what those one hun
dred and forty-siX men suffered that
hot Indian night, stuffed so tightly
into small underground room that
the door had to be forced shut. In
the morning only twenty-three were
alive. The others had been suffo-
Gated, smothered to death.
No one has ever doubted the truth
of that story. 1t has been accepted
as an established historical fact for a
century and half Every encyclo-
pedia gives the same account of it.
Poems have been written about it. 1t
is in some of our school readers. One
of Henty's best books was written
about it, and his hero was one who
spent the night in that hell hole of
horrors and lived. The Black Hole
has been the synonym of human
agony and torment. If someone
somewhere suffered greatly, as men
adrift for weeks on the ocean in an
open boat without food or water, we
said they suffered the torments of the
Black Hole of Calcutta.
And now we are told by a man who
seems to have considerable evidence
in support of his contention that the
historical version of the Black Hole
tragedy is gigantic hoax Tt
never happened, he asserts. All the
shudders, all the sympathy, all the
oceans of tears shed over it have been
wasted. The man who thus tears
down this story is J. H. Little, who
is vouched for a man of reputation
and a careful investigator. In an
article in a recent number of Ben
gal, Past and Present, he writes that
he has made a special study of the
Black Hole incident, has very closely
examined the archives of the East In
dia Company and overhauled contem-.
porary French and Indian records.
and has demonstrated on irrefragable
evidence that there is no truth in the
story.
He asserts that the account was in.

diyiduals or as nations. The law of
cause and effect works changelessly.
The suffering of the world is not pun
ishment, but consequence. The world
sees this, and seeing, will amend it's
ways, somewhat, for time. But after
a little the world will forget again
and will again have to suffer the con-
sequences. 1t never goes back al
together to the wrongs to which world
cataciysms open it's eyes. Always,
steadily the things Christ lived for
are making the world better and they
are being worked for even by men
who do not believe that Jesus was
the only begotten son of God. Jesus
Christ is the worlds eXemplar He
works steadily in the hearts and
spirits of men, even though many of
them forget and even at times deride.

THE SEVEN WISE MEN!
THEIR STORY AND IT'S MORAL.

Most people have heard of the Seven
Wise Men of Greece, Pittacus, Bias.
Scion, Thales, Chilon, Cleobulus, and
Pariander, says Ave Maria. Here is
their story; and the moral of it is
worth remembering, if the names are
not. AS some Coans were fishing, GER
tain strangers from Miletus bought
whatever should be in the nets with
out seeing it. When the nets were
brought in they were found to contain
a golden tripod. A dispute arose
among the fishermen and the strang-
ers as to whom it belonged, and as
they could not agree, they took it to
the Temple of Apollo and consulted
the priestess there. She said it must
be given to the Wisest man in Greece.
and it was accordingly sent to Bias,
who declared that Thales was wiser.
and sent it to him. Thales sent it to
another one, and so on until it had
passed through the hands of all the
men, distinguished afterward as the
Seven Wise Men; and as each one
claimed that the other was wiser than
he, it was finally sent to the Temple
of Apollo, where it long remained to
teach the lesson that the wisest are
the most distrustful of their wisdom.

THE FIRST ENGLISH POET
CAEDMON LEARNED THE ART or
MUSIC, NOT FROM MAN, BUT
FROM GOD.

Can you picture to yourself Eng
land, not just as we know it now, but
England just beginning to emerge
from the dark days before civilization
and Christian teaching of the monks
had fairly controlled her? An Eng
land fighting and fought with, over
run by wild Saxons, Danes, and saw
age northern tribes, but still an Eng
land where st. Augustine had come
with his monks, where Christianity
was softening the rough natures, and
teaching something higher than an
eye for an eye" in pity for the weak
and forgiveness of trespasses An
England where stately abbeys were
beginning to rise, harbors of learning
and refugees for the oppressed, an
England, in short, midway between
the England of the Normans and the
England of the Druid and the Celt.
st. Hilda had founded the Abbey
OF Whitby, and about the year $50
lived there the poet Caedmon, the first
true English poet
His story is very beautiful, and the
Venerable Bede, speaking of him,
tells us that he did not learn the art of
music from man but from God, having
ilVed in a secular habit till he was
well advanced in years, being employ
ed as one of the servants of the mon
astery, and that when, as was the GUS
tom. the harp was handed in turn to
each person at the table, when it
came Caedmon'S turn he rose and left
the room, for he could not sing. Once
when this had happened he went to
the stable to take care of the horses,
which was his duty, and having per-
formed it, he laid down and went to
sleep. An angel came to him as he
slept and said to him: "Caedmon, sing
me a song" and the poor, humble
monk replied: Il cannot sing, and
therefore left the entertainment" And
the angel said: Nevertheless thou
shalt sing!" And he asked: What
shall | sing?' Said the angel: THE
beginning of created things" And
Immediately Caedmon began to sing
praises of God, and of all things, and
WlleH lie dWOko lie remembered what
he had sung, and his vision.
The next day he was brought to st.
Hilda, the abbess, who received him
into her community, and had him in

he studied he converted into verse.
He passed his life happily and peace.

words being uttered as he signed
himself with the sign of the cross.
There is but one known manuscript

carefully 1t is Of great interest to
us as the first real English poem, and
has considerable poetic fire and merit.
1t has been suggested that this poem
was sort of model for Milton in
writing Paradise Lost" for when in
1855 it was printed, copy was sent
to the blind old Puritan, and it is
not unlikely that he seized the idea
of the work that was to carry his
name down to fame from the monk

mouth and Jarrow, Venerable Bede
has this passage in praise of St. Cecil
frid: Besides innumerable other
literary acquisitions he procured three
pandects of the new added to one of
the old translations of the Bible
which he had brought from Rome. In
his latter days, departing again for
that city, he took with him as
donative one of these three valued
volumes leaving to his monasteries
the other two The keen, critical
sense and ripe scholarship of the
great antiquarian de Rossi recognized
in the one volume which ST. Ceolfrid
took with him to Rome, the Codex
Amiatinus. This discovery proves that
the famous manuscript originated at
the Abbeys of Wearmouth or Jarrow,
in Northumbria, England, between the
years $50 and TIC. The latter date,
which must now be accepted, does not
in any sense lessen it's authority, for
it seems certain that the manuscript
of which the CodeX Amiatinus is a
copy, was written in Italy about the
middle of the sixth century.
The Codex Amiatinus exhibits the
pnrest text of ST. Jerome's revision.
Now the close correspondence between
it and the Vulgate of today shows
that the edition Of the Sacred Scrip
ture which the Church has officially
approved contains the pure word of
God.

Kidney troubles are getting more
common every day. Government
health bureau figures say deaths from
this cause are 1870 more than 20
years ago.
Anybody who suffers constant
backache, who feels blue, nervous
and irritable; who has dizzy spells,
headache and urinary disorders
should suspect kidney weakness. Ov-
erworked kidneys must have a rest.
Take things easier; live more care
fully. Take a good kidney remedy
to build the kidneys up again.
But be sure to get Doan's Kidney
Pills-the Oldest the most widely
used, the best recommended of all
kidney pills, now in use all over the
civilized world. Don't experiment
with your kidneys. Thousands have
already tested Doan's. You have
their experience to go by. Plenty
