WANDER FROM STRICT TEXT
Matter of Marvel That Phrases From
the Bible Are So Frequently
Misquoted.

No book has contributed more to the
general stock of misquotations than
the Bible. No book exists in such a
multitude of forms, which may account
fol- some of the popular departures
from the wording of the King James
version. But it is not easy to supply
reasons for most peoples habit Of say
ing: ''In the sweat of thy brow" when
the text reads. 'in the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread" Why "the
parting of the ways" instead of the
"parting of the way?" Bone of my
bone" instead of "bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh" may be due to
the desire for perfect parallelism. And
the same explanation may hold for
.Thus far shalt thou come, but no fur
ther," instead of Hitherto shalt thou
come" But why the general prefer
ence for 'better part" when we are
expressly told that "Mary, hath chosen
that good partg' The Vulgate, for
whatever reason, says "the best part"
-optimam partem-often cited in the
middle ages in proof of the superiority
of the contemplative life, as represent
ed by Mary, over the active life. sym
bolized by Martha. But apparently no
such contrast was originally intended.
Why, again, "a multitude of sins"
when it is said of charity that it
"shall cover the multitude of sins?" Per-
haps there is no other reason save that
the tongue is an unruly member; such
at least the world agrees in calling it,
though the biblical text describes it
as IAN unruly evil."-Marry Ayres, in
The Review.

Inventor of corIiss Engine.

George Henry Corliss, inventor of
the Corliss engine, was born in Eas-
ton, N. Y, 102 years ago. His first
device was machine for sewing boots
and shoes. After several other minor
inventions had been completed by
him, he settled in Providence, r. l., in
1914 and became head of a firm en-
gagged in the manufacture of steam en-
gines. Here his talent began to show
full scope, and in 1848 he completed
the original form of what has since
become famous the world over as the
Corliss engine. By the invention Cor
liss revolutionized the use of station
ary engines throughout the world and
conferred a great and lasting boon
upon industry. Corliss, who became
Immensely wealthy, died in Providence
in 1888.

When This World Shall End.

Forecasts of the end of the world
always have come along at intervals.
1t was expected on March 25, A. D.
1000. People neglected to cultivate
the land, for what was the use? and
famine was the result Old documents
of the time begin with, 'As the world
is now drawing to a close" Then the
fatal day was set at various dates,
1904, 1857, 1S43, and Mother Shipton
placed it at 1881. When a comet ap-
peared in the heavens that mysterious
wanderer was going to lash us TO
pieces with it's tail. Still our ball of
trouble remains in the company Of its
sister planets, although it may be that
in the near future-say a hundred
thousand years or so, short time in
the history of worlds-"This great
globe shall dissolve, and leave not o
wreck behind"

HooIioanism

This word is of English origin. Some
years ago there was a dangerous gang
of young ruffians who made things
very lively in the neighborhood of the
New Cut and Low Marsh, London.
The captain of the gang was one Hoo
ley. and when the police made
capture the prisoner was described
as one of the "Hooley gang" A char
acterization which gave the magistrate
a concise idea as to the habits and
customs of the gentleman in the dock,
anc so by frequent use it became
transformed to "Hooligans" by the
Cockney tongue, which gradually
spread as a generic term for ruffians
throughout the country.

Two Kinds of Markets.

Different types of farmers
markets attract different groups
of farmers.
The truck grower likes to haul
full loads and make quick sales
in large lots-his time is more
valuable on his farm than in
acting as his own salesman in
disposing of his load in small
quantities to the consumer.
Retail farmers markets ap-
peal to farmers who raise fruit
and vegetables only as a side
hne-they, or members of their
families, often can spare the
time it takes to sell small lots
direct to the housewife.
The location of the farmers
retail market is important. 1t
!, must be in a place easily reached
! by large numbers of consumers.
! Mixed wholesale and retail
( markets may prove unsatisfac
{ tory unless hours for selling are
! regulated so that there will be
! no conflict, and different groups
{ of producers will be encouraged
{ to come in at different times, ac-
! cording to whether they sell in
large or small lots.

readily accessible, nevertheless there
are many communities in various parts
of the country which would be greatly
benefited by such associations.
Wherever these associations have
been formed an appreciable saving to
the farmer has resulted. The profit
that formerly went to the local ship
per now goes to the farmer, and he
has the satisfaction of knowing that
he will receive for his stock the actual
market price, less the cost of market
ing. Moreover, the activities of a COM
petent manager and the influence of
successful association make for
general Improvement in methods of
marketing live stock and a better
knowledge of market prices and con-
ditions by farmers in the entire COM
munity. The beneficial influence thus
eXerted is of no less Importance than
the actual saving to members on the
shipments handled by the association.
HeIter-Skelter Marketing.
In many cases animals are killed
and offered for sale regardless of mar
ket conditions. Frequently advantage
is taken of cool weather to kill and
dispose of hogs, with the result that
the dressed carcasses must be sold on
glutted market and being a per-
ishable product, must be disposed of
at any price obtainable. An example,
which is only one of many, was OBJ
served at small town in Louisiana
during the winter of 1856. where
each time the weather became cooler
eight or ten dressed hogs were offered
for sale when there was a demand for
one or two. Such method is, of
course, most improbable to the farm
er. A number of instances have oc-
Cured in southern cities where dressed
beef, ordinarily valued at to cents
pound, was sold by farmers for to
cents, and dressed hogs, valued I'M
der ordinary conditions at to 10
cents a pound, sold for to cents,
because of a temporary oyersupply of
fresh meats in these towns. The farm
ers could have avoided these losses by
finding market for their meat before
slaughtering, by delaying slaughtering
until market conditions were improved,
or by selling the animals alive on a
/ good market.

FUMIGATIoN OF COMB HONEY
Fumes of DisuIphid of Carbon or Sui

Damage by Moth.

Some beekeepers find it necessary to
fumigate comb honey to prevent dam
age by the larvae of the wax moth.
For this purpose fumes of sulphur or
disulphid of carbon may be used. If
disulphid of carbon is used, great care
should be taken not to bring it near
flame. as it is highly infammable.
