THE BIBLE IN AFRICA.
It la Read Thora In 148 Languages and
Dialects.
On the continent of Africa alone the
New Testament or parts of It have
been translated into 14S languages and
dialects. The two latest additions are
Dabidu. a language of British East
Africa, and I.lmha, the language .of a
tribe In the hinterland of Sierra Leone.
Parts of the New Testament have
actually been translated Into pidgin
English, thai strange lingo, hair baby
talk and half slang, which Is the chief
means jt communication through all
the cust. .
The difficulties presented In translat
ing the New Testament Into this bar
barous hotch-potch must have been
tremendous, but they have been sur
mounted. Another language of the same sort
Is Chinook. This consists of about
two-fifths Chinook, two-fifths red In
dian tongues and the rest English and
Canadian French. It Is the tongue of
barter on the Pacific coast of Alaska
and the Dominion. At least 50,000 In
dians speak It nnd lately St. John's
gospel lias been Issued In this Jargon
for their special benefit.
There Is also a version of the Scrip
tures translated Into the primitive lan-.
gunge of the head hunters of Borneo.
It was made by German missiona
ries, printed In South Africa, paid for
with British money nnd circulated In
Papua. London Answers.

A Striking Cameo Effeet and How It
Waa Produced.
"1 saw a new thing In the art line
the other day which surprised me and.
I may also Bay, pleased me," said an
art resort dilettante in a group of
kindred spirits. "It was whut the
artist called a wood cameo, and It waa
something 1 had never seen before.
"That It was wood did not appear aa
It huug on the wall, and 1 asked blra
for particulars. It waa about a foot
square with an oval center, containing
bas-relief of a (.ireek goddess. The
square waa In ebouy and mahogany
aud the head In white wood.
"He had secured his cameo effects
by first building up his square with
the three layers, glued aud pressed ao
tightly that there were no marks of
cleavage, und bad cut through them
exactly aa cameo carvers cut through
the usual shell cameos. The ebony
front was plain, but finely polished.
and the entire effect was excellent

work, though he bnd been practicing
for two years, and. while be was not
entirely satisfied wltli It, there was
considerable consolation to him In tho
fact that he had nn offer of $100 when
ever he wanted to dispose of It"

Famous Abductions.
Marriage by alHlnetlou waa by no
means uncommon in the early ages.
The daughter of the king of Argus
was abducted by a Phoenician. The
Greeks carried off Europa from Tyre
and Medea from Colchis.
Next to the abduction of the fair
Helen, perhaps the most remarkable

king of Leluster'a taking away of the
wife of a neighboring petty sovereign,

The king of Connaugbt avenged the
Insult and drove from tho throne bis

Henry IL of England for aid to recov
er his lost sovereignty. The Norman
conquest of Ireland followed, with cen
turies of war and devastation.
A HISTORIC HOUSE.
Whtrt Tyndal Started to Translate
the Bible Into English.
About two miles from the old mar
ket lowu of Chipping SiHlbury, ICng
land, stands nn old time house known
as Utile Sudbury manor house, which,
quite apart from lis celebrity as one
of the oldest examples of domestic ar
chitecture In Gloucestershire, has been
Justly styled "the birthplace of tho
English Bible."
In one of the old rooms William
Tyudule, who lived there for two
years, conceived the Idea and com
uicneed tho work of translating tho
New Testament Into English
In IMI Sir John Walsh, owner of
tho manor house, hud need of a chap
lain and tutor for his children, and his
choice full upon Tyudule, who had
Just completed his university career.
Tyudule was In great favor with his
master, who encouraged him In the
great work he had undertaken
It Is qulto possible that the translu
tlou world have been completed here,
but Tyudule. having expressed ul opin
ions too freely to the neighboring cler
gy, found himself secretly charged
with heresy und summoned to appear
before the chancellor of the diocese.
Although nt the lime he was merely
admonished, he did uol consider it
safe to continue In the manor house
thereby Involving his patron In dan
ger, so ho left and proceeded with his

Nelson Won the Elgin Marbles.
Lord Elgin, whose name has become
so Inseparably associated with the fa
mous sculptures, never saw them in
their original places lu the Parthenon.
Ho employed artists to make him
drawings of the sculptures, end It was
tiiey who urged him to have the wou-
derful relics of ancient Greece remov
ed to England to save them from de
struction. Elgin repeatedly appealed
to the porte for permission to remove
them, but the request was refused un

Although, according to. Sir James

about a century ago.
Mrs. A. M. W. Stirling, the biogra
pher of Coko of Norfolk, says that It
was first made fashionable by Coke's
nephew. William Coke, "who decided
hut a bat originally designed by VV II-

popularity of Billy Coke Is generally
ascribed the word "Billycock," hut Sir
James Murray thinks otherwise.

Pretty old Inventions are our modern

wife had an odd way of keeping track

everything opposite to It with a piece
of chalk, which was rubbed mil when
the at tide was returned, to be used
