Hilda, Abbess Of Whitby.

In 1915 the world held it's breath.
mute with horror. The Zeppelins had
swoOped down over Whitby, on the
coast of Yorkshire A cry of ven
geance went up when it was learned
that half of the ancient abbey of
Whitby had been destroyed. Founded
in the seventh century, it was Hilda's
abbey. The majestic ruins through all
the ages could be seen as you climbed
the quaint little seaside town of Whit
by, it's red-tiled houses seeming to lead
directly and only to that abbey on the
heights. Hilda was princess of the
blood royal, but early dedicated her.
self to the religious life. King Oswy
gave her a grant of land and she erect
ed the celebrated convent, or abbey, of
Whitby. OF her sanctity and Of her
learning the men in high places in
church and state who sought her adj
vice and prayers attest in full measure.
Caedmon, the earliest English poet,
tarried in the monastery for monks
which she erected near her own con-
vent to reform the religious life Of
friars. Theefamous council of Whitby
was held in the monastery. Could not

and almost perfect ruins of holy spot

Increased Use of Coffee.

Whether prohibition has or has not
increased the use of coffee. 1T is at
least fact that the people Of the
United States are now consuming more
coffee than has been their custom and
are paying far greater sums for it than
ever before. A statement by the Ma
tional City bank of New York shows
that the quantity of coffee brought into
the United States in the calendar year
1919 will probably he greater than ever
before. Notwithstanding the fact that
the cost is about three times as much
a pound as formerly. The imports for
the ten months ending with October
approximate 1.14O,OO0,000 pounds
against 94O,OOO,00O pounds in the same
months of last year, and 1,122,O00,00O
hounds in the corresponding months OF
1917, the former high record years in
Importation.

BIBLES IN STRANGE BINDINGS
Almost No Limit to Variety of Cover
ings That Have Been Afforded
the Scriptures.

"a Bible ZOO" sounds most puZZling,
but it is nothing more startling than
a collection of Bibles bound in the
skins of great variety of animals.
We so often find that when mans
life is given to any particular work ne
is apt to be interested in the curious
side of this same work. 1t is small
wonder then that the kings printers OF
England should have collection of
Bible curiosities.
There are many Bible readers who
~elight in having their own particular
Bible bound in a binding that is out OF
tLe ordinary. Hence not only the usual
animals have been requisitioned for
their skins. but the unusual ones as
well-reptiles, fish and beasts of prey.
Often these Bibles are used for Christ.
mas gifts.
1t is strange to think of huntSnlan
In the wilds of Asia killing the bear, or
sailor in some northern sea catching
the seal, that gives the skin with which
a Bible shall be eventually bound to
grace the desk of some fastidious
woman or an eccentric millionaire.
Yet such is often the case. and rather
expensive luXuries they are.
One Bible is covered with a long.
thick, soft hair. so shaggy that the
shape'Of the book is hidden. This was
taken from no less q beast than a
grizzly bear. Another is made from
the skin of a serpent, which seems not
at all inappropriate when we recall
that to the Oriental the serpent has
always been the symbol Of wisdom. A
gray, beaded surface quite resembling
glass. is presented by another binding
which upon inquiry we find came from
a man-eating shark. Delicate indeed,
is the soft, snowy fluffy cover given by
white lamb. There is badger Bible
and skunk Bible, the latter looking
for all the world like a lady's muff.
After moments study we recognize
in reddish-brown binding the skin Of
squirrel. The Persian sheep. the
Himalaya sheep and other foreign va
r-eties of the family have been called
upon to furnish Bible coverings. Goat
skin tanned is morocco leather. But
there are some people who like bind
ing with the fur left Oh the skin. 1t is
a fine shaded gray and seems substan-
tial. But most curious of all is Bible
bound in the skin of giraffe. OF
course. no more delightful binding can
be imagined than seal.
And even though none of us might
care for Bibles bound in any of these
curious covers for our Christmas gifts,
few of the 'other half of the world"
delight in.

western Newspaper Union News service
Washington, Feb. 3.-Three months
of pickering and an almost unbreak-
able deadlock on the oil land leasing
bill have ended through agreement by
House and Senate cOnfereeS on the
legislation. Senator SmOot. Republi-
can Of Utah, chairman of the Senate
managers, announced the conference
report would be submitted to the
House and an effort made to obtain
immediate consideration.
The agreement of the cOnfereeS is
expected to be approved with little Op-
position by both the House and Sen
ate, thereby completing legislation
which has been pending for the last
ten years and which would open up for
development approximately 75,OOO,OOO
acres of public domain in western
states. Last session, a similar bill was
passed but the Senate'S failure to
adopt the conference report in the jam
Of legislation at the close of the ses-
sion prevented final enactment.
AS now proposed the bill affects oil,
coal, gas, phosphate, sodium, and oil
shale lands and is strictly leasing
measure, all provisions for outright
sale having been eliminated. Under
the measure approximately 44,OOO,OOO
acres Of government coal land alone
would be opened for development as
well as about 100000 acres of oil
lands.
AS agreed on by the cOnferees the
bill specifies only minimum royalty,
the Senate provisions providing maxi
nam royalties having been eliminated.
In the matter of contested claims on
oil, the cOnferees agreed upon ~ per
cent of the royalty received on past
production going to the reclamation
fund, 20 per cent to the states in which
the oil was produced and 10 per cent
to the government.
Under another compromise all roy
alties derived from oil, gas, coal, phos-
phate and sodium produced in the fu-
ture will be distributed 521s per cent
to the reclamation fund, 371a per cent
to the state and 10 per cent to the gov
ernment.
The compromised measure also pro-
vides that the total amount of the roy
alties to be paid shall be determined
by competitive bidding or by methods
to be prescribed by the secretary OF
the interior. For oil lands maxi
mum of 1920 acres may be leased at
a minimum royalty of 121a per cent.
The maximum for coal lands is 2,56O
acres with Il minimum royalty of D
cents per ton. The same acreage is
prescribed for phosphate and sodium,
but 5,12O acres Of oil Shale lands can
be leased

which a deadlock developed and which
is designed to permit an adjustment
of differences over claims growing out
