Although the Bible is the most | widely distributed book in the world, | one would never think so sometimes | | when a copy of Holy Writ is desired in a hurry, It is surprising what a hard time | @ person will have in an office in finding a copy of the Bible. There is a dictionary, a work on synonyms, an atlas and other volumes, but not a copy of the Bible to be had, It would be interesting to know if every gevernment department has a copy of the Bible. There is at least one big govern- | ment establishment which found it- self without a Bible. This is the Washington city post- office. Postmaster Chance was sud- | denly called upon to decide if a | pamphlet cuming through the*mails | | should not be excluded. Certain pages in the pamphlet | | quoted passages purporting to be! from Bible. Now, no matter how ; much one has read in the Old and | New Testament, it is often difficult, | to place a quotation, and especially | to know if ii is exactly right. “Get me a copy of the Bible,” di- rected the postmaster. | Hasty search revealed that there | | was no copy of the Bible to be found | | in the whole city postoffice, although | the postmaster himself is an earnest | | church worker. —Wasliington Star. |; | A SLOW ONE He—What would you say if I put my arm around you? She—At last! H | | | VALUABLE FISH OIL | The airplane service of the United | States fisheries bureau has proved | | especially useful in locating, for the | benefit of fishermen, the menhaden, | which travel about in schools num- | bering aiillions at the surface of the sea, their presence being indicated by | a widespread rippling. Menhaden are not good to eat, but their oil has high commercial value, and, after it has been pressed out, the residue | makes an excellent fertilizer. Dur- ing the last year the production of | menhaden oil in this country was | | 3,676,453 gallons. This was more than the output of whale oil, which | | was 3,073,574 gallons. The produe- | tion of herring oil was 380,379 gal- lons, and of cod-liver oil 196,108 | gallons. Other oils of marine origin, including that derived from sharks’ livers (commonly sold as cod-liver oil), totaled 1,060,322 gallons, MAKING HIM JEALOUS One of the boys I had been seeing quite regularly was coming over that night, and I got a silly notion in my | head that I wanted to make him jeal- }ous. Just as he rang the bell I sat | down near the telephone, and, hold- ing the hook down with one hand, carried on a conversation with a sup- | posed to be old-time sweetheart who | was just begging to come over and see me. Everything was running | splendidly when right in the middle | of a sentence when I was saying that | “it’s all over now,” the telephone bell rang.—Chicago Tribune. i NATURE’S PROTECTION Growing in the spray of the great | Victoria falls in South Africa, a new | gladiolus has been discovered and named the “Maid o’ the Mist.” Four | | bulbs of this plant, sent to England, | have been induced to sprout and bloom by virtue of constant spray- | ing in a hothouse. There the inter- esting discovery was made that the | petals of the flower are so arranged | that they form a pent-house to pro- tect the stamens and pistils from the | unceasing downpour to which they | would otherwise be subjected in the native haunts of the planf GROWING DEMANDS “Do you remember when congress- men distributed garden seeds to | their constituents ?” “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum. “Those were the good old inexpen- sive days. The modern constituent doesn’t think you have presented him with anything worth consider- | ing unless you have kept him sup- plied with silk shirts and phono- crvenh wanneds % LEARNING THE TRICKS Mollie—I hear that Mrs. Jones’ daughter, who is going to get mar- ried next week, takes after her mother. Mabel—What do you mean, Sen- timental ? Mollie—No ; she takes the money that is left after his wife has been through his trousers. RELIC OF “GOOD OLD TIMES” Workmen who were digging out the foundations for a garage at Rei- gate on a site referred to in a deed of 1588 as “the Owlde Market Place” have discovered a Thirteenth century crypt or dungeon. The crypt, which was used by the lords | of the manor of Reigate for cen- turies as a dungeon, is being cleared | of all debris, and when restored will | be open to the public. | combe, the lord lieutenant of the Lord Ash- county, Lord Farrer, and others are | being invited to the opening cere- mony. The building is constructed of local stone, which is in splendid condition, having heavy vaulted ribs, | windows and portions of the original stone steps.—London Times. WHY WILDE PLAYED THE FOOL Adoption of Eccentric Garb Made Public Talk and Compelied the Attention of Publishers. When Oscar Wilde announced that he was coming to America to lecture every one in literary circles was greatly interested, not to say vastly excited, Even those who did not know Wilde’s fame as poet and writer, or had not even read his books, were also interested. They were anxidus to see Oscar Wilde on account of his characteristic person- ality and his peculiar manner of dressing. Wilde affected an individual style all his own when it came to clothes. He proclaimed himself to be an “esthete”—one looking for the beau- tiful in art, and searching for the truth in life. Wilde’s costume was a black velvet suit with knee breeches and silk stockings. He had his hair curled by a hairdresser, and wore it very long. In his buttonhole or in his hand was always a rare flower. His wit prompted him to adopt this rig. He decided that “it pays to advertise.” Before adopting his original style of dressing Wilde had difficulty in having his work accept- ed by publishers. But, it is said, after becoming famous through his unusual costume, Wilde had no trouble in selling his manuscripts. — Mark Stuyvesant, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
