A large manufacturer; whose af

and who was very much overwork

exhaustion, went to a celebrated
npecialist. He wau told that the

lieved of care nnp worry, and have
change of thought. This doctor
was mora considerate of his patient
hes-lth than of his financial circum

him to use Dr. Miles' Restoative
Nervine, the best remedy for ner

lation adopted by the Roman church, and
known as the Vulgate, because com
monly used in the Christian churches,
was the first book printed, in 1450-5.
As far back as the Seventh century
portions of the Vulgate were translated
into English, and the early versions by
Wyclif and his predecessors, by Pur
vey and others, were, translations from
the Vulgate. Tyndale used Luther's
German translation of the Greek Bible.
Tho authorized version of King James
was made by forty-seven scholars and
finished in 1011; the manuscripts, so far
as accessible, were consulted, the trans
lators not restricting themselves to the
Vulgate, but going to the Hebrew and
Greek whenever they could. Pittaburg

A "Cliarttcter" in France.
Recently a Freuch gentleman, reply
ing to an inquiry by a lady concerning
the character and qualifications of a
woman who had applied to her for the
position of cook, and who had lately
been in the gentleman's service, said that
he could not recommend tho applicant;
that she was "extravagant, impertinent
and somewhat given to drink." The lady
gave the letter to the applicant for the
cook's position.who immediately brought
suit for damages against the writer.
The cuse was decided against tho writ
er of the letter, who was lined and ad
monished that he had no right to give
circulation to injurious statements con
cerning another person, even if the
charges were true.
In order to evade the responsibility
thus introduced in French law house
keepers have taken to issuing such "rec
ommendations" as this:
"This certifies that Mme. Hortense,
late nurse to iny son, aged one year, did
not leave hiin on a bench at the Jardin
des Plantes and go away and forget him
on the 20th of August lost."
The certificate is intended to be taken
in a contrary sense, and serves Its pur
pose without laying the writer open to
suit foT damages. Youth's Companion.
A Problem.
Once there were two tramps who were
actually looking for work. In the course
of their wanderings they came upon a
pile of coal in front of a palatial resi
dence. Said the tramp with the inferior intel
lect, "Let us engage ourselves to stow
away this fuel at a price of twenty-five
cents." "Nay, nay," said the tramp of
superior intellect; "let me go within and
negotiate."
And he did negotiate and secured the
job at a rate of fifty cents, of which sum
he gave one-half to his companion to
perform the necessary manual labor, re
serving one-half unto himself for super
intending operations.
Whereat he of the inferior business
ability, though he had received twice
the amount of work he expected and at
his own rato of compensation, lifted up
his voice in wrath and swore by various
deities that he had been bunkoed.
Was ho right? Indianapolis Journal.
What Men and Women Tell.
There iB one radical difference between
men and women that "it may bo said
generally of novelists, that men know
inoro than they tell, and women toll
more than they know." It may bo true
of novelists. In real lifo neither tells all
he or she knows, and the difference
shows in what they keep.
A woman tells tho thing that is not
vital. She will toll eomo one almost
every dcttiil of her daily life, but let her
have a heart story, and hlio hot only
keen it locked iu, but she hvt s as though
it had no existence.

Vanguard of the rustlo'i retlnuol
A while mare next, then oxen four
("Five cattle team," the name It bore);
Then the peasant prince, who a crown would
scorn,
Ulgh on bis throne of fresh cut corn;
The baffled horsemen behind him camo,
And lust of all rode the one whose name
Was yet to conquer the pride of kings.
Whose truth and courage the world yet stngjl
HUH uumiudtul of rank so near,
I'arsons the order refused to hear,
When, Hearing the ferry where all must walt-
".Make way, iLako way for the coach of state!"
Again they cried in a stern command;
He plodded on till, whip In band,
He calmly got down at the river's brink
To let the mare and the oxen drink!
He turned and then, for the first time saw
The strong right arm of the colonies' lawl
A freemau true, be bad dared to stand,
And the right to the king's highway demand
In the face of tho greatest In all the land)
He speech leu stood, and bis brown face paled.
While the scouts to tbetr chief the affair de

MUe's as good a right to the road as II"

Sleight of Hand rolionlng.
A very curious item in toxioological
lore I chanced to light upon may be
called the feat of poisoning by sleight of
hand. You wore jealous of a lady and
you wished to kill her. Well, you asked
her to lunch, and you caused a very nice
peach to be served at dessert. You cut
the fruit with a golden knife, one side
of the blade of which was endued with
a deadly poison. You presented the
poisoned half of the peach to the lady,
who ate it with much relish and then
dropped down dead.
The wholesome half you ate yourself,
and laughed in your sleeve, and went
ou slicing more peaches for the ladies of
whom you were jealous till you were
found out and broken on the wheel. Aye,
there's the rub! What high old times
we might have, to be sure, but for that
plaguey contingency of being found out.

A Bowery Sign.
A Bowery sign which has added to the
gayety of the travelers on the Third
avenue elevated for some weeks has re
cently disappeared. Wen forgot busi
ness and politics for a brief moment
while contemplating it, and careworn
women eased their burdens long enough
to smile as they were whirled past it. It
was large and lurid, telling in big letters
that within the first convention of "Lady
Pie Eaters" was in set sion, three gayly
dressed females, nearly life sizo, with
abbreviated skirts and French gaiters
and each holding a huge triangle of pie,
illustrating the type of members. Fur
ther than this their identity was not
established. New York Times.
Looking glasses of polished bronze or
silver were a necessary adjunct to the
toilet in ancient as well as inoderu times.
During tho Sixteenth century all wi 1
ows were required to dress in the plain
rubes worn hv conver.tn.al orders.
