MANUSCRIPT cf
the Four Gospels
in the native
tongue of Jesus
has at last been
found the great
est Biblical treas
that has' been dis
covered in cent
uries. This is probably
the oldest authentic
record of the doings and sayings of the
Saviour. It was written within fifty
years of the death of the last of the
Apostles as near to the time of Christ
as we today are to the time of Washing
ton. The Gospels of the Bible are from
the Greek manuscripts. Christ, how
ever, addressed the multitude and talk
ed with his disciples in Syriac, the na
tive tongue He learned at His mother's
knee.
And here, for the first time, the
Christian world has the history of the
Saviour told in the very words He used
the inflection, the spelling, the pre
cise shades of meaning. Written in the
native language of Palestine, this aged
manuscript Is more valuable than the
Greek translations, which are the ac
cepted Gospels of Christianity.
Is It not strange, therefore, that stu
dents of the Bible, Greek and Syriac
scholars and historians have turned
with feverish excitement to this totally

hazardous Journey across the desert a

They are loath to disturb their arch
meats and papyri la their sleep of. cen
turies for two such casual tourists natil
the latter present credentials from the
authorities of the Greek church, which
at once opens the vaults, the bidden
cells and the ancient chests. Then aa
almost endless array of parchments Is
unearthed for their Inspection.
Ancient scrolls, leaves of parchments
which no human eye had seen for a
thousand years, and sheets of papyrus
written over and rewritten over are
placed before them in the ancient li
brary, where the sunlight is hardly
strong, enough to enable them to take
their photographs. With the latest
productions of this nineteenth century
era, kodaks, sensitive films, and "de
velopers," these two new women from
Cambridge university worked hour by
hour on Mount Sinai among parchments
written during the first century.
It was thus that they discovered the
palimpsest of the Gospels. A palimp
sest is an ancient parchment or other
document whose original writing had
been erased to make room for a later
record. Generally a good deal of the
original writing can be deciphered in
such documents, many of which have
been written over two or more times
in this manner.
The Syriac Gospes which have now
turned up had so been written over.
In order to make use of the original
sheets a second time some monk who
attached little importance to the docu
ments erased with knife or pumice
stone the first writing. He then wrote
over it the lives of some of the saints.
The Gospel writing was that which was
underneath.

monastery by these two new women,

unexpected treasure of sacred history.
But almost as remarkable as the dis
covery of the manuscript is the extraor
dinary story of how it was unearthed.
The details of the visit of two English
women to the lonely monastery of St.
Catherine on the summit of MountSinai
and the accident which revealed the
Syriac Gospels are told below.
To return to the manuscript.
Christ, as we know, was master of
several languages, but it is certain that
Syriac was the one He learned as an
infant..
In moments of great mental excite
ment it was this language Syriac
that leaped naturally to His lips, an-1
when He cried out in anguish upon tbe
Cross He spojje in Syriac words which
our Greek Gospel has to translate, but
which in this newly discovered Gospel
stand in their proper place with na
need of translation.
These Gospels give, for Instance, an
entirely new reading of proper names.
From this it appears that there
was no such person as Judas Iscariot.
but that he who betrayed his Master
with a kiss was Juda Scariota, that
Peter's name was Cepha. and that the
correct name for the Mount of Olives
was Beth Zaita.
But above and beyond such techni
cal differences as these are the new
and unexpected readings of the Gospels
which this ancient manuscript dis
closes upon dogmatic Questions of the
j first importance. Written, as it is ad
mitted, so near to the death of John,
and couched in the language which
was native in Palestine, this, the old
est of authentic records of His life
and mission, must take its place in the
very front among .historical docu
ments. And right here, it might be said that
this ancient document, which has been
found in the very place where Moses
received the commanaaents, while it
coincides with the translations of the
Gospels accepted up to the present day,
yet differs from it
The difference is of itself regarded
as proof of its originality and genuine
ness.
In doctrinal matters there are differ
ences that have already aroused the
theologians. Thus is the entire ques
tion of the Immaculate Conception
thrown open to controversy by this
Syriac manuscript. Its readings on
that question are unorthodox.
It is here distinctly stated that Jesus
was the natural son of Joseph. The
manuscript which has now been found
is alone in this new reading. No other
historical document of the kind makes
any such assertion.
The exact words used are these:
"Joseph (to whom was betrothed the
Virgin Mary) begat Jesus, who is called
Christ"
Here is a distinct affirmation that
Joseph was the natural father of the
Savior. This Syriac manuscript.the old
est authentic record of the Gospels,
here makes a statement contained in
none of the other and later documents.
The story of the finding of this an
cient manuscript by two women with
a kodak is one of the most marvelous
in the history of Biblical literature.
Nowhere has it a counterpart.
In the remote and almost inaccessi
ble monastery cf St. Catherine, which
uie Emperor Justinian caused to be
erected in the sixth century upon the
s'te of some of the most astounding
sairacles,two nineteenth century women
with a snapshot camera ask for a look
at the musty documents with which
the ctllar is stsred. Tke monks can
self with four bottles of a foul-smelling
liquid, with which she washed the
sacred leaves, thus, as she claims, re
viving the original writing in all its
clearness.
When the original snap-shot pictures
of the document were taken the two
women were unaware of the importance
of their work. A professor or Oriental
languages at Cambridge university, to
whom they rhewed the developed pho
tographs, read the Syriac writing and
was much excited by his discovery.
THE BICYCLE IN WAR.
la I-ikcly to Ite Iiiatruuisatal in Ad
Viinre Work.
Military authorities have come to the
conclusion .that the bicycle will play an
indispensibie part in the wars of the
future. Its sphere, at least in its early
military stages, will be that of the Uh
lan o the 1870 war. The cyclist, in
preliminary operations, will act as an
impenetrable advance cloud cr screen
for the army, pushing far ahead into
the enemy's theater of operations, mak
ing his power felt long before the arm
ies have a chance to come together, par
alyzing the enemy's communications,
making descents now here, now there,
often rashly and often making mis
takes. Ia spite of this he will always
be able to obtain information for head
quarters better than any other form of
scouting, feeling the enemy retiring be
fore him when outnumbered, but con
testing the ground wherever there is a
chance, for contest. He will, in fact,
pursue exactiy the course followed by
the Prussian cavalry in the early days
of the Franco-Prussian war; always
acting in company with light-horse ar
tillery, with the gunners mounted on
bicycles, and not according to the pres
ent out-of-date system of caissons.
With these and the flying cyclists it
Is believed the modern army has an of
fensive combination such as has never
been equaled. The cyclist will be a
crack shot with the rifle, and that will
be his only weapon.

The meeting" the two women whose
pictures are here given, shows that
everyday life furnishes experiences as
thrilling as those that come to ns only
in our wildest dreams. And the fact
that such meetings occur every day
points a moral that every woman in the
land should take to heart. Here was a
woman in the prime of life, pursued by
that sentinel which seeks its victim,
among her sex alone.
From a living picture she became, in
less than a year, a wreck of human
wretchedness. From despondency to
despair seemed but the remaining step,
the last step.
IIKKI-A8T FAKEWEI.I.
Overcome by the presentiment that
precedes a lingering death, she asked
to be removed to her old home in the
West, and spoke what to all seemed to
be her last farewell. In the very pa
per that chronicled her departure the
doomed invalid found letters written
by Mrs. Belle Dement, of Iroquois,
111., Mrs. Minnie Smith, of Lowell, Ore
gon, and others. Some of these letters
are printed below. They told how cores
had been found for cases like her own
shattered health that had almost
sapped life away. With no more hope
than that which prompts the drowning
man to catch at a straw for she firmly
believed herself incurable, just as tens
of thousands of women believe them
selves incurable she followed the ad
vice contained in these letters. The
result is best told in the woman's own
words: "In less than five months,"
she writes, "I returned to my friends
in the East, as well and strong in body
and mind and as happy and free from
pain as any woman in the world. I
bad gained nearly thirty pounds in
weight and was so changed in face and
form that when one of my dearest
friends met me in broad daylight she
almost fainted, for
SHE ltKI.IKVKD MK DEAD."
She adds. "I owe my whole life and
happiness to Doctor 4'ierce's Favorite
Prescript ion, which cored me after doc
tors, travel, baths, massage, electricity,
had failed to even benefit!"
This woman's case, remarkable as it
may seem, is not an exceptional one.
Thousands and thousands of just such
cures have been made in every State by
this same special remedy for women's
peculiar disorders and diseases. This
world-famed remedy is not recommend
ed as a "cure-all" but as a most perfect

"He ought to see." we said, "with half

right What is the matter with him?"
Uncle John took an extra hitch in the
slack of his breeches, and replied: "Oh,
nothing much, except he is so dead

Coellaz Milk.
A fact of importance which has been
emphasized is the value of cooling the
milk as thoroughly as possible as soon
as milked.. When drawn from the cow,
milk is at a high temperature, and, in
deed, at just the temperature at which
the majority of bacteria will grow the
most rapidly. Under the influence of
the atmospheric temperature, especial
ly in tlst summer, the milk will become
cool very slowly, but never becomes
cooler than the air. The bacteria which
have gotten into the milk will there
fore have the very best opportunity for
rapid multiplication and the milk will
sour very rapidly. If, however, the
milk is cooled to a low temperature im
mediately after it is drawn, the bacteria
growth is checked at once and will not
begin again with much rapidity until
the milk has become warmed once more.
This warming will take place slowly,
and therefore the cooled milk will re
main sweet many hours longer than
that which is not cooled. A practical
knowledge of this fact will be of great
value to every person handling milk.
Early cooling to as low a temperature
as is practicable is the best remedy for
too rapid souring of milk. Department

Tainted Milk.
It is well to notice that certain ab
normal odors and tastes in milk may be
produced directly by the food eaten by
the cow. If a cow eats garlic or turnip
the flavor of the milk is directly af
fected, various other foods may, ta a
similar manner, affect the taste of milk,
but this class of taints may be readily
distinguished from those due to bacter
ial growth. The odors and taints due to
the direct influence of the food are at
their maximum as soon as the milk is
drawn, never increasing afterward.
But the taints due to bacterial growth
do not appear at all in the fresh milk,
beginning to be noticeable only after
the bacteria have had a chance to grow.
If, therefore, a dairyman has trouble
in his milk, which appears immediately
after tlie milking, he may look for the
cause in something the cow has eaten.
But if the trouble appears after a few
hours, and "then grows rapidly worse
until it reaches a maximum, he may be
assured that the remedy is to be sought,
not in changing the food of the cow, but
in greater care in the management of
the dairy or barn. Agricultural Report

The early naturalists differed greatly
ss to the origin of the potato, writes
John Gilmer Speed in November La
die's Home Journal. In England it
was held to be a native of Virginia,
and in Spain it was said to have orig
inated in Peru. Modern opinion holds
that it is indigenous to the elevated
table lands of Chili, Peru. Bolivia,
Costa Rica, Mexico and southwestern
United States. It probably got to Vir
ginia by tbe hands of some early Span
ish explorers. It is certain, however,
that it was not cultivated in Virginia
till far into the eighteenth century,
and then it was introduced in the
American Colonics on account of the
esteem ia which it was held in Europe.

Farming Under Glass It seems cer
tain that the growing of many of our
field crops, such as potatoes, cabbage,
etc., will be largely under glass in the
future. It is expensive, but there are so
many things that compensate for the
outlay that it is one of the reliable in
vestments. Even when a cheaper
transportation for southern-grown pro
ducts shall have been secured, there
will yet be reasons for forcing houses in
the north. Such houses will be not only
fitted with glass roofs, but also with
wire screens, so that in the summer the
glass may be dispensed with, the
screens being usca to Keep out bug3
and birds. The one item of crop de
struction by insects is a costly one, and
the saving in this alone will pay a fair
per cent on the investment The pro
tection from frost is also worth looking
after.
Scalding the Mites. The brood-coops,
should be carefully watched for lice
during the summer and fall, as young
chickens cannot thrive if nightly sapped
of their life blood. Whatever scalding
is done in these, however, must be done
in the morning, so that they will get
dry by night. If your coops are in a
damp location and you have tiny chicks
it will be a good plan to get some dry
sand occasionally for the floor. In this
land of ditches I never feel safe with
little chicks unless the coops are
floored; it is not safe unless one's land
is "above water." and not then if it be
on the side hill, with a water shed
above. Whenever we have a very hard
rain and the ditches overflow, one of
our coops is always in danger, so I
know whereof I speak when I advise
you to select a spot that is high and dry
for brood coops, or else provide them
with board floors. Mrs. Mellette in

An eastern dairyman says: The man
who is too aristocratic to mingle freely
with his calves, and his cows also, will
never succeed as a breeder of dairy
stock. There is a social side to a cow's
nature as well as to a man's. It is
from her social nature that comes not
enly the milk but the fat as well, given
from a spirit of pure motherly beneficence.
Poultry in the Orchard. One of the
best places for the poultry house is the
orchard. The fowls are away from the
garden and have a range where they
can secure plenty of green food, bugs,
worms, and other insects, in destroying
which they benefit tbe trees and fruit.
The site for the house should be
chosen with a view to insuring good
drainage, as it is most essential that
poultry have dry quarters in which
they may roost, or take refuge when it
storms. On a farm it is no easy mat
ter to give the fowl a good range and
at the same time to keep them away
from the garden, the hog pen, and the
stables. In many cases, the orchard
is the only good place for.tbe-poultry
house. The fowl do better there, with.,'
the variety of food they secure, than
if they were kept, fn more restricted
quarters. If tbe poultry house is to be
built during the summer, it will pay
to put It in the orchard. Ex.
