which Mr. Bryan says: 'I am sorry
that Governor Hughes vetoed the

the benefit of the doubt to the rail
roads instead of to the people, and
that, too, where tho roads were pro
tected by an appeal to the courts
whereas 'the people have no appeal.
His veto shows how difficult is reg
ulation when the roads have such
an enormous influence In politics.
But the traveling public ought riot
tot be discouraged; it takes time to
ecure reforms, but reforms come.
The next govornor of New York will
ot veto a two-cent bill.' "

A LAY SERMON
-The Bible is defined as "The sacred
volume, which contains the revela
tions of God the scriptures of the
Old and New Testaments."
I do not think any man or woman
well educated who is ignorant of the
Bible.
"It has thoroughly interwoven it
self with our daily speech, and -we
are continually using scriptural
words, phrases, and illustrations
without being the least conscious of
it,'-' says the Charleston News and
Courier. This is quite true.,,
Tho main part of our legal struc
ture is founded on the Bible, hence
lawyers should be familiar with it.
The best of English literature can
not be read intelligently 'without
familiarity with, the Bible. How
could one appreciate' Milton or
Shakespeare,- or eyen Byron, or, in
fact, any of the -Great, English pdets,
unless familiar with the scriptural
imagery of the Bible?
In the many prints of the" Bible,
typographical and others Gri'Ois "nave
been made, wbjcii have given dis
tinctive names -to certain editions.
.What Is called the "Breeches Bible"
gets its name from the print of Gene
bIs, ill: 7, which is as follows: "Then
the else of both of them were opened,
and they knew that they were naked,
ana tney seweu ngge tree leaves to
gether and made themselves
breeches."
The Bible known as the "Bug
Bible" derives its name from the fol
lowing, Psalm xcl:5: "So that thou
shalt not node to be afraid for any
bugges, by night or for the arrow
that flyeth by day." This Bible was
printed in London, in 1551. The
"Treacle Bible" derives its name
from from the following, printed in
it, In Jeremiah, vii:22: "Is there
no treacle at Gllead; is there no
physician, there?" The "Covendale
Bible," of 1535, has the same verse
rendered thus: "Is there no rosin
in Gilead?' Is there no physician
there?" Rosin and turpentine are
good modern remedies. This read
ing gave a name to the first "Dual
Bible," printed in 1609. The word
translated treacle was translated in
other editions, rosin, turpentine, and,
lastly, balm.
edition was printed in 1(531, and the
printer, was fined 3,000 for hia. neg
ligence. - '
The "Prosecuting Printer's Bible"
gels Its name from a verse (Psalm,
cxix:161) thus rendered: ."Printers
have persecuted me without a cause."
For "printers' read "princes,"
The "Ears to Ear Bible" had this
misprint (Matthew, xiil:43): "Who
hath ears to ear, let him he&x" The
"Standing Fishes Bible" has tills
(Ezek., xvii:10): "And it shall come
to pass that the fishes 'shall stand
upon it." For fishes read - fisher- r
men.
The "Discharge Bible" gives from
I Timothy, v:2l; " discharge thetf
before God." TJie -"dis" shtiuld have '
been omitted. . ;
The "Wife Hater Bible" gives
Luke, xlv:25, thus: "If anyx man
come to me and hattf not his father
Yea and his own wife al
so." This reading may be found in
a Bible printed at Oxford in 18i0.
What is known as "Rebeka's Camel's
Bible" lias this (Genesis, xxiv.Gl:
"And Rebeka arose and her cara'els,"
instead of "her damsels." The "Re
ligious Bible" is so called from Jere
miah, iv:27, "Because she hath.beehv
vreligious against' me saieth the
Lord." For religious read rebellious.
There are other editions othe
Bible containing, errors whiah have
received distinctive names,, but "it.
is only because the Bible is so pure
and so holy that these incongruities'
and mistakes are noticed. They re
semble spots on the sun, which do
not impede either the sun's ligSt or
.heat."
A copy of the Breeches Bible has
T)een found in Manchester, England",
bearing two of Shakespeare's auto
graphs. This is dated 1613. It,waaic
.sent to the British Museum. Sorhe
;years ago Mr. John J. Gardenjstof .
Prospect, - Va;, had in his possession
a large Huguenot Bible, printed in
1657. Its preface was written by
John Calvin. Thfi nntlrA Paalmanf.

In these days, when persons' who
aim to be considered intelligent and
well-readform classes for the study
of every author of reputation, might
it not be well for them now1 and
then to organize classes fox the study
of the Bible? If they would devoto
as much time In trying to under
stand it as they devote to Browning
or to Ibsen, or in trying to solve the
question of Hamlet's sanity, or .any
of these modern riddles of literature
they would advance their education
far more, and, incidentally, improve
their minds in theN knowledge of.
those things which belong to their
eternal peace. '-A Layman" In
Washington Herald. v
What is known as the "Place
Makers' Bible' was so Called, from
the verse, Matthew, v:9; "Blessed
are the place-makers, for they shall
be called the children of God." This
misprint occurred In the "Geneva
Bible" in its second edition, in 1561.
Perhaps some of our modern polj
ticians -would, like this word to re
main. The "Vinegar Bible" is so
called from the heading, "The Par
able of the Vinegar," instead or "The
Paradise of the Vineyard" (Luke,
xx) .
The "Wicked Bible" gets its name
from the leaving out of the negative
in the Seventh Commandment. This
