Our Observer Says

After attending Circuit Court
three days this week, if we could
get all the money that will APP
parently be spent lawing over
the rights.of- way for roads in our
county, and the money that will
have to go to finally pay these
rights. of. way and the lawyer
fees accruing, we say, If this
money wasted could go on our
roads at fair price for work,
we could have some roads. All
know it is wrong, but it seems
that some people cannot be coax,
ed nor persuaded to let the coun-
ty build what we need worst of
all-Good Roads.
The only solution is our Jurles
which pass on the question OF
damages. If they could forget
their neighbors' selfish interest
and look To the countN's interest
which is every body's interest, 1t
would put a stop to extortion TOR
rights of way now throughout the
county.

HiIda, Abbess Of Whitby.

In 1915 the world held its 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, 1t 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, its 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 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 ad'
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. The famous council Of Whitby
was held in the monastery. Could not
the Zeppelins have spared the sacred
and almost perfect ruins Of holy spot
like Whitby abbey Journal.

Increased Use Of Coffee.

Whether prohibition has or has not
increased the use of coffee, it 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 be 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 1,140,OOO,000 pounds,
against 94O,OOOO0O pounds in the same
months Of last year, and 1922, 10000
pounds in the corresponding months OF
1917, the former high record years in
importation.

BIBLES IN STRANGE BINDINGS
Almost No Limit 70 Variety Of Cover
lnns That Have Been Afforded
the Scriptures.

"A Bible ZOO" sounds most puzzlfng.
but it is nothing more startling than
q collection Of Bibles bound in the
skins of a great variety Of animals.
We so often find that when a mans
life is given to any particular work ne
is apt to be interested in the curious
side Of this same work. It Is small
wonder then that the kings printers OF
England should have collection OF
Bible curiosities.
There are many Bible readers who
delight in having their own particular
Bible bound in a binding that is out Of
the 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 huntsman
in the wilds Of Asia killing the bear. ar
a 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 fastidlous
woman or an eccentric millionaire.
Yet such is often the case, and rather
expensive luxuries they are.
One Bible Is covered with long.
thick, soft hair, SO shaggy that the
shape of the book is hidden. This was
taken from no less 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
gra9, 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
a white lamb. There is badger Bible
and a skunk Bible, the latter looking
for all the world like lady's muff.
After a moments study we recognize
in a reddish-brown binding the skin OF
a squirrel. The Persian sheep. the
Himalaya sheep and other foreign va
rieties of the family have been called
upon to furnish Bible coverings. Goat
skin tanned is morocco leather. But
there are some people who like a bind
ing with the fur left on 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
still it is interesting to learn what q
few Of the "other half of the world
delight in.

Date Growing In California.

Date palms grown from shoots that
were imported from Algiers are now
abundantly bearing fruit in the Coach
ella valley of California. in its grow
ing, the date crop is indeed pictur-
esque. As a staple, however, it Is
hardly SO well known in America as
in the Levant, where for untold CEN
turies it has been almost as important
as wheat. Though it would doubtless
take more than numerous dates and
olives to make a Garden Of Eden, still
these are supposed to have been fac
tors in that delectable condition Of
things. In midwinter it is pleasant to
think Of such a crop as this growing
near a town called Mecca in the
United States.
