At Sotheby's recently there was of fered for sale an imperfect copy of the Bible printed by It. Barker in 1613 the New Testament dated 1611 valueless except for some MS. inscrip tions of more or less interest. The Bible bajonged to W. Sharp Ogden, of Rusholme, Manchester, whose grand father, a well-known collector of books and prints, bought it for a sov ereign or two in 1850, and later re fused $75 for it. On the reverse of the title of the New Testament is "William Shake speare, 1614," and on the end cover, "Willm. Shakspere, off S. O. A. (Strat-ford-on-Avon), his Bible, 1613." There are several other inscriptions, one -of these showing that seventeen years after Shakespeare's death it belonged ; to John Fox, of Warwick. The catal ogue also suggests some connection between Thomas Hall and James Hall, to whom, early in the eighteenth century, the Bible belonged, and John Hall, who married Shakespeare's slaughter. But no evidence on the point is forthcoming. The pedigree of the book was re garded by dealers as satisfactory. ' As to the Shakespeare signatures, opinion , -varies within wide limits. The folio was started at about ?250, and Messrs.- Pearson Dought it "on behalf of an American client for $1,000 quite as much as was anticipated. Several other classics of the sale room were also bought by private col lectors for considerable sums. "Robin son Crusoe," with th "Further Ad ventures" and "Serious Recollections," three volumes, original calf, made $1,250 not very far short of the au thor's record established in 10G3; the 1685 folio Shakespeare, full, $505 $710 Is the highest sum ever obtained for It under the hammer and "The Vicar of Wakefield," 1776, published at 12s., f 475.

Thin Hair Nothing Too Good. In the remote fastnesses of the Southern mountains there are many cabins in which sugar, even of- the un refined variety, is -unknown. . Most things go unsweetened, 'but for espe cial'occasions there is reserved a jug of molasses or -corn syrup, known fa miliarly as "long sweetening." . It was in such a cabin that an itin erant preacher was called upon to pass the night. The mountaineers were de lighted at the honor of entertaining such distinguished company. When supper time came, the usual repast of biscuits and frizzled pork was increas ed by the addition of boiled potatoes. But when it came to pouring the cof fee, the hostess was in her glory. She produced a demijohn of "long sweeten ing," and filled the minister's cup more than half full of it The minister viewed this proceeding with alarm. "There, there, my good woman," he protested, vehemently, "that will do, that will do! No more, I beg of you!" But ""my good woman" mistook the cause of his protest. . "Lawsy me!" she exclaimed. "Don't be worrited, parson. Why, all larses aint too good for the minister." Mothers will find Mrs. Wlnslow's Boothlng Syrup the best remedy to use for their children during the teething period.

This is .practically three times Its natural quota. 'Vacation schools" for the children of crowded districts have become pop ular In the big cities perhaps as much on account of the free excursions . to the country which some of them offer as because of the educational advan tages. When one was opened last summer In the Chicago "Ghetto," the first day brought to the schoolhouse many times the number of children that could be cared for. The teachers were In a quandary, as they were way laid by mothers and. ' fathers and by the children themselves, pleading for 'chance in the school." At last the superintendent hit upon an easy meth od of classification which would admit the very poor and exclude all others. The children had erowded Into, a great assembly-room, and there be ad dressed them. "Now, children," he said, "first of all I want those of you whose fathers peddle from wagons to raise your hands." i There , was a rustle, and up shot nearly a fourth of the hands In the room. Their owners waved them proudly. "That Is fine," said the superintend ent "You will all march out Into the hall and stand In Hue there. "Now all those whose fathers ped dle, from push-carts raise their hands," he said, when the first lot had gone out : Again there was a good number, and these, too, were sent to the halL "NdSr," said he, "how many of you have fathers who carry a basket on tr-tir shoulders or a tray In front of them and peddle?" ' Nearly every remaining hand was raised, and the superintendent smiled. I thought that would fix It" he said, "You are the children this school is meant for. You will all be assigned to seats by the teachers." Those he had sent Into the hall were the "aristocracy" of the neighborhood, and they must yield to the poorest For a Remote Future. Mr. Green looked with a calm but not unkindly gaze! at the simple mind ed young man from Vermont "who as pired to be his son-in-law. "What preparations have you made for the future?" he asked, gravely, "You know how my daughter has been brought up." . : "Yes, sir," said the young man, with equal gravity,! "but up in our little town there's not bo much difference between the Orthodox and the Meth odists as there is in some places, and I'd be willing to go to the Orthodox Church If 'twould make any difference, I'm not what you'd call narrow, sir." .
