A Pickle That Was Not Eaten.
"My most embarrassing experience,"
related the young ludy thoughtfully.
"Well, as nearly as 1 canremember.it
was connected with a pickle. I wag a
guest at a dinner in Washington. It
was not a very formal affair merely
forma enough for the gentlemen present
to wear evening dress. There was a
dish of dainty pickles near me, and 1
took one a baby cucumber. It was
about big enough for two bites, and I
tried to cut it with my fork, when sud
denly it launched itself like a skyrocket
across uie table and struck the immacu
late shirt bosom of a very particular
swell opposite, fairly in the middle.
"I don't quite know how it could have
happened so fortunately, but conversa
tion hud been going on so briskly that
no one save the man who had taken me
into dinner saw who waa the anrhnrnf
the accident. 1 never blush, a fac t. I
trust, not to be set down seriously to
my discredit and I managed to so skill
fully dissemble otherwise that nobody,
with the exception I have mentioned,'
suspected me at all.
"None of the other guests were so ill-
oreu as to take visible notice of the oc
currence, and the talk went on almost
uninterrupted, while my victim ad
ministered surreptitious wipes to his
manly chest in a honeleRs attempt to
remove the stains of pickle. To this duy
I am unsuspected as the author of the
mischief,"-Washington Star.

The first complete translation of the

was the Lollurds' Bible, and a large
number of manuscript copies must have

copies are still iu existence. There were
.so many transcripts of certain books
as well as of the whole Bible. Wycliffe
could not go to the original texts, so he
translated from the Vulgate, or ac

feet performance; but the reformer was
prevented by death from revising it as
