Firs« Type Printed Beck.
The first book printed with type,
according to Pettigrew, was the
Latin Biblo published by John Gu­
tenberg at I-ayenee, about 1465, but
Haydn is inclined to assign a some­
what dater date to this, making the
book of Psalms, by Faust and
Schaeffer, printed on Aug. 14, 145?,
the first book.
The Gutenberg book is called the
Mazurin Bible, having first been
found in tho library of Cardinal
Mazurin.
There are only twenty copies of
this first edition known to exist, an<l
the workmanship in type, ink and
paper far exceeds that of any of tin
subsequent editions for 200 years.

Tsls of a Bird.
A little four-vear-old boy living
in a country town disturbed and
took some eggs from under a sitting
hen belonging to a neighbor. The
neighbor complained to the boy's
mother, who Inter called her boy
to her and began to reprove him
when he broke in with the question.
“ Who told you ?”
The mother said: “ A little bird
told me. Now, tell me, how many
eggs did you take?”
The little boy, stammering, said:
“Well, well! Why didn’t the bird
tell you the whoie of it? ”—Stray
Stories.
Sometimes |«lpitations of the
heart are easily cured, and some­
times they are very persistent, but
they do not of themselves threaten
life.
Tachycardia, or rapid heart beat,
and bradycardia, or slow heart, are
also forms of nervous heart trouble.
In taking account of very rapid or
a very alow pulse it must slways be
remembered th st tho personal equa­
tion cornea in. Some persons have
normally a heart action that in oth­
ers would be abnormal. Napoleon
ia a well known instance of normal
bradycardia. His physician records
the fact that the emperor'a pulse
averaged only forty beats to the
minute.
The neurasthenic heart is reco?-
nixed because it accompanies a gen­
eral neurasthenic state. The pa­
tient is likely to be irritable and
fidgety and often suffers from in­
somnia and other neurasthenic
symptoms.
In thia form, as, indeed, in ull the
forms of nervous heart trouble, the
treatm ent must be directed rather
to a building up of the general con­
dition than to the treating of the
heart muscle alone. Everything
that tones up the general system
also tones up the heart. The life
should be regular, ouict and pru­
dent. Especial care should be taken
not to overtax the digestive powers,
and overwork in any direction
should be checked.
This is also true in the cases of
irritable heart, so often found
among young people, especially
young men, who have been overdo­
ing in athletic work.—Youth’s Com­

Thia remarkable state of affairs
'is due to the simple fact that the

The industry in which tbe corpo­
ration is engaged consists of quar­
rying the marble found in the Isle
of Purbr.k, a p 'ninaulur district vj

quarries are worked here, in what
used to be a royal deer forest, and
the whole of the industry is man­
aged by a curious kind of trades
guild, entitled “The Ancient Guild
of Purbeck Marblers.”
A11 the marble belongs to the de­
scendants of the original Purbeck
quarrymen who formed the guild,
and no other person haa any right

lowed to join the guild. None can

Banana*.
“Bananas give most people indi­
gestion,’’ said a food specialist.
“That is because they don't know
how to eat them, though. The aver­
age person selects a solid banana
without a fleck on its blond skin,
he consumes the white, hard flesh
of the fruit, and for seven or eight
hours afterward he keeps tasting
banana—he has indigestion—and
the neft day, ten to one, he rises
with a headache. But the native
considers such blond bananas green.
The native eats a banana whose
skin is quite brown and whose white
flesh has turned to a brownish palp
of the consistency of stewed fruit.
The native, in fact, must eat his
banana with a spoon; it is so far
gone as that. I eat brown, pulpy
fellow myself, and these, I assure
you, always agree with the most del­
icate stomach.”
Stumped the Law yer.
A lawyer was examining a rather
meek looking man who steadfastly
refused to give a plain answer to
any of the lawyer’s questions. At
last in replying to one question the
witness answered that he was un­
able to say either yes or no.
“Now, that is a ridiculous an­
swer,” said the lawyer. “Do you
mean to tell me th at you could pos­
sibly ask me a question to which I
could not answer yes or no?”
“ Well,” said the witness as he
leaned forward and looked at his
tormentor, “will you please tell the
court, by answering yes or no, if in
your estimation you are really as
stupid and foolish as you look?”—
