Bio and Little Bibles.

There are no fewer than 10 different
editions of the oxford Bible in Eng
lish, varying from the magnificent folio
edition for pulpit purposes to the bril-
liant Bible, the smallest edition of the
Srr.ptures i'm the world. OF the revised
version fourteen editions are published.
More than a million copies Of the re-
vised new Testament had been ordered
before the day of publication in May of
ISL, and it is claimed that the work
ingmen of the establishment refused
bride of some 1900 to furnish a copy
Of the book before the day of issue.
The largest folio Bible printed in Ok
ford measures 10 by u inches, and no
erratum has as yet been found I'm it.
The Brilliant Text Bible" measures
334 by 2k inches and is three-quarters
Of an inch thick and bound weighs less
than three ounces.-Exchange.

YOUR TYPEWRITER.
How to Clean and Care For This Mod.
ern Necessity.

| ETH Necessity
| Many million people use typewriters
| and great many of them leave the
| typewriter uncovered most of the time
when not i'll use.
There is one great economy in cover
! ing typeWriter-in the saving of the
ribbon. OF course Il cover also keeps
out dust and dirt and keeps other peo-
pie from using the machine, but by
far the greatest direct saving is in the
ribbon.
The liquid ink on the ribbon will
evaporate just like any other liquid
and if it has the whole room to eyapo-
rate in a great deal more viii come
off than when it is confined in small
space. As science puts it, a I.Juid
will eyaporate continually until the
space around the liquid is saturated
with its vapOr.
This saturatiOn point rises with the
temperature, so on hot day more
ink evapOratCS than on Il cold ury.
But when a space is saturated WITH the
vapOr the evaporation ceases and 50
if the space be made small by means
of typewriter cover minimum
amount of the ink will be lost. \ proof
Of the matter is found in the pronounc-
ed odor a typewriter gives off when
the cover is taken off after a period
Of rest.
Exactly the same Ting happens with
n bottle half full Of v9'pr. Leave this
bottle open and il - lew days all the
water has evapOratod But close the
bottle with stoppo2 and only enough
water will evaporate to fill the space
between the water surface and the
stopper, thus saving practically the
whole contents for further use.

Making a Scrap Book.

Mankind may be divided into two
classes, those who preserve fugitive
clippings and those who don't. Among
the former are many who for lack of
classification become victims of their
own belongings. They clip assiduous-
ly, they lay aside newspapers contain
ing articles they wish to keep for ref
erence, and they postpone the task Of
sorting and arrangement to the rainy
day or the interval of leisure which
never arrives Presently they are dis
mayed to find themselves confronted
by pile of ephemeral literature noun
tain high, wherein it seems hopeless
even to blaze a trail That is where the
person Of metiCulOuS, orderly habits
shows his irritating superiority. With
him day unto day has uttered wisdom;
he has tabulated and pigeonholed his
stores as they came to his hand. 1t
does not prove that you are literary
and learned to raise a vast rubbish
heap around yourself or to live in a
ruin that suggests the visit of n Zeppe-
lin. Those who keep scrapboOks are
likely to reckon them among the most
precious items in their libraries.-Phil-
adelpbia Ledger.

Why Birds Must Have Water For Both

HOW #
To Remove Painful Sub
stances From Your Eye

Usr ptts Sin%e e S or o other fo .omn
times by grasping the upper
eyelashes and drawing the
eyelid downward, allowing it in return
Ing to come in contact with the lower
lashes so that they may act as IL broom
or brush. If the foreign body is on
the ball this will not remove it.
Frequently it is sufficient to rub the
other eye vigorously. Thus by causing
sympathetic movements of the injured
eye an increase of tears may help to
wash out the offending particle. Do
not in any case rub the injured eye.
Some make a practice of inserting
daXseed in the eye, the seed moving
around and removing the foreign mat
ter.
The best way to remove foreign mat
ter is to hold a toothpick over the
upper lid with one hand and with the
other grasp the upper eyelashes and
lift and bend the eyelid sharply back
over the toOthpick so that the inner
pink surface is in plain sight.
Sharp eyes and good light, with per
haps the assistance of a magnifying
glass, should detect the intruding par
ticle, which should be removed by some
sterile body if possible, such as ster-
ilized gauZe.
Occasionally for some time after the
object has been removed there will be
an irritation, giving the impression that
the object is still there.
Swab the eyes with a solution of
witch hazel and boiled water, equal
parts, and this sensation soon passes.

Friendship.

Friendship springs up and grows
naturally; it cannot be planted at will.
Foolish friendships are often formed
in youth. 1t is useless to talk against
them, since young people always re-
sent criticism of their friends. We
must simply tolerate them and trust
to the awakenings of common sense
to prove all frivolous friendships false
and unworthy.
