APRIL 18 1913 "-RTTitake of ' Bible" Ma Ee re." A book compiled by Nathan Haskell Dole recounts some of the mistakes we mnlte In supposed historical facts, In quotations, In pronunciation and the like. It lias many bits of out of the way Information, including Hie follow- lg: In the linglisb rendering of Kutb iv, 7. 8, It reads: "A man plucked off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor: and this was n testimony in Israel. There fore the kinsman said unto Bon?., Buy it for thee. .So lie drew off bis shoe." The Hebrew word nagal Is said to mean sandal only when It Is followed by regil. i he foot. When It stands by itself It menus glove. The German word glove Illustrates this, for band sell ub means "handsboe." Therefore the token given in the passage cited was really a glove. The passage from the New Testa ment "Re ye, therefore, wise ns ser pents and harmless ns doves" should read "simple ns doves" as the Greek word really means unmixed, therefore guileless. "Evil communications corrupt good manners" probably was cited by Taul ns on already familiar proverb, for it was written by Meander, the Grecian comic poet. i Great Inventions Are Rare. Invention to some extent resembles mining. Thousands of miners plod 'wearily through the mountains and volleys searching for precious metals or outcropplngs of ore. One among thousands strikes the big bonanza. About 800 patents are Issued every week by the United States patent of fice. Only one In many years is for eomctlilng stnrtllngly uew and mean ing millions of dollars to the inventor or tbo people who may gain control of It. Only about one Inventor In every hundred secures a monetary return .which will equal, the cost of the Inven tion and patpnt. Of tbo 40,000 or 50, 000 patents Issued... every year there are few which are of such Importance as to attract widespread attention, and only at long Intervals Is there tin In tention which revolutionizes condi tions, such as the telegraph, telephone, the phonograph, typesetting machines, wireless telegraphy, aerial navigation find moving pictures. Arthur Wallace Dunn In Leslie's. Grateful Scott and the Bagpipes. Wbnt Soot ever called the pipes a musical Instrument? " asks Harper's Weekly. In the old wicked days bands of predatory English marched over the border. They were ns bold and sturdy as the Scots and far greater la num ber. Cluny MncWhnuppert, the laird of Glengarramoyle, In desperate need of n sure defense Invented the pipes In secret and never let a skirl out of them till ho faced the invading Sas senach on the bloody Held. Then Cluny blew a melody so tierce, so cldrltcli, so grinding and blistering to the soul, that every clansman ripped and slashed his way through 1 ho Eng lish hordes. Intent on only ono thlug to cscnpe the (letidlsh screeching of the pipes, And that is why every grateful Scot to thlH day cherishes tho bngplpe, Ihe preserver of Scottish in dependence. Ho hns beaten his sword Into a plowshare, but he will always uphold the pipes to beat the band. Jeremy Bentham'i Skeleton. Tho late Archdeacon Colley In leav ing hia body to tho nirmlngham uni versity to he anatomized was uot so original, says tho London Sphere, ns Jeremy nentham, who left his body to University college, London, for the feamo purpose, but arranged that It should not bo burled afterward, but kept there. You may see the skeleton tbcra to this day wearing Its clothes rs In life, tho face all dried up. Ben tham oven went bo far as to advocate iho embalmment and preservation of Illustrious human beings In this way rs being more truthful than statues. Brides and White. ' i olden days a bride of the poorer i ... ,:es went to her wedding la white, i a warning to the public that since ; brought nothing to the marriage i , husband was not responsible for l,r debts. At the beginning of the i Ighteentli ceutury bibles began to In troduce touches of color Into their cos tunics. Blue was for constancy and preen for youth. Yellow was never ,v rn, as It stood for Jealousy. Longfellow's Joke. Longfellow, the poet, was introduced to one Longworth. and some ono com mented on (lie fact that the first syl lables of their uaiues wore the samo.

Hesldes his sklil'nud taste as a cab inet makfi anil liix fortunate Judgment In adopting varied and sundry styles to the needs and wishes of his British patrons. Chippendale was a good busi ness man and thoroughly understood the art of advertising ns then prac ticed, the art. at least, of making himself liked and attracting a large and fashionable cllentele-and a habitual clientele at flint to his shop In St. Martin's lane. The belles and beaus as well as the great lords and haughty, swelling dow ngers. were wont to gather there of a morning nnd were sure of getting what they sought, no matter whether It wns furniture or gossip. Chippendale al ways made his patrons thoroughly wel come nnd comfortable, nnd his shop hecame to all Intents a kind of club where all the court chit chnt and scan dal of the metropolis were retailed amid the engaging settings of chnlr "In the Gothic taste.'' "Chinese sophas," Louis Qulnze secretaries and the like. Suburban Life. Located the City. Among other anecdotes of university life. Dean Hole tells of an occasion when there was some doubt as to the locality of a city mentioned In a Greek text, nnd the lecturer addressed a youth who had Just come up from the fa mous Shrewsbury school, "Now, Mr. Rentley. you arc n pupil of our great geographer, Dr. Butler, the Atlas of our age, who carries the world not on his shoulders, hut in his head, and you can probably enlighten us as to the position of this ancient town." "I be lieve, sir." was the prompt reply, "thai modern travelers are of the opinion that the city ought to be placed about leu miles to the southeast of the spot which it now occupies on our map" After rei-elvlne respectful Ihniiks for Humanity Presents . -' ' V' ' V' - 1 . , - Rev.

Bipod as an article of diet may seem somewhat grewsome, but it Is in reali ty a very beneficial and, to the Masai, necessary food, as It serves as a sub stitute for salt, which they do not pos sess The blood Is obtained from their cattle, and great skill Is shown iu bleeding them. Their method is as fol lows: A ii''iiine Is placed above the spot seiei ted' foi the incision, which is usually in the neck. The Incision is made with a specially prepared arrow, which lias a thick shaft to prevent overpenernlion. The blood is usually drunk hot from the animal, but Is sometimes mixed with milk.
