This his toric Bible was printed in London in 1502 and was taken to Holland by Wil liam Bradford when the pilgrims emi grated to that couutry early in the sev enteenth century. In 1C20 it wa brought over in the Mayflower anC used as a family Bible by Governor Bmdford until his death in 1657. wher. It became the property of his son Jo sepU. whose unine, with the others ct his family, is written on the fly leaf. The oi'dtv in which it was bunded down from that time follows: I'rou Joucph Bradford to his son Elisha. then to Alice Bradford, daughter oi l!shri, who in 1757 married Zebulor Waters of Stonghton, Mass.; then tr. their eldest sou. Captain Asa Water, who fought valiantly in the Revolu tiou; then to his grandson, Asa Brad ford Waters of Marietta, O. Asa W. Waters of Philadelphia inherited r from his father upon his death in 18S5 The book is about C by 8 inches, bouu in bine'.; leather and printed In GotUh text. The margins are covered witl annotations, but the writing has be come too faint to be seen with the na ked eye. Clilld Study. Ti'.e time at which a child should be gin to study is a vexed question of ed ucation, and one which shows no signs of being settled. The superintendent of the Quincy (Mass.) schools raised the question a few days since and as serted fiat a child should not be sent to school until it was seven. Other educators, however, do not agree with hir.i. President Eliot of Harvard thluta the little girl or boy should en ter the kindergarten at four, and the superintendent of the Boston schools, Edwin P. Seaver, suggests five as a suitable age at which to iegin the school life. The superintendent of the Cambridge schools, Frank Cogswell, thinks that even three is not too early for the kindergarten. Romance of a Lockout. Purinr the distress among the Co penhagen workmen on account of a 'ockout in 1SS7 the public was appealed to for contr. but ions. Aa old couple in Jutland, having no money, sent i;i their wedding riiigs as t.hc'.v h j:nbk contribution -for the relief of tin; str.rvlng people. The organiza tion hep'. Ihe rings us a uifineiito o! ihis kind act. l!rcent' tiie old couple celebrate"1 their golden wedding under very di tressin;: circumstances. They were ac tually starving. This came to tl knowledge of the Copenhagen wo; -sieu. A ol! tion was organized, In a few days the old couple receiui' 80 in c-::s;i and two new we;l.!::' rinc.s, with a grateful ncknoivled&nien of their kindness during the time oi trouble. Egg Rolls.

Cut into strips an inch and a half by four inches, lay a little apart ol flat greased pans and brush with beaten egg or with milk. If the oven is hot the' should be done in about twenty-five minutes. The Hot Water Bag. With all the ills that flesh is heir to a hot water bag is a household necessity. Why suffer even with cold feet when a few cents invested in a hot water bag will quickly give returns in comfort? A small hivj, slightly larger than the bag when i: is filled, makes the hot water buz more pleasant as a companion. Aft-! er the bag is filled and thoroughly dried on the outside it is but tin : work of a moment to drop it into this soft woolen slip, which, proviu ed with a drawstring, makes i)-' i bag far more pleasant to handle j The Fairy of Spring. I wish that I knew i Oh, I do, so I do ! The wonderful, beautiful fairy of spring Who sets all the country to blossoming, j I wish she would tell j . Whether whistle or bell 1 She uses to make that mysterious sound, : Causing crocus and tulip to peep abov ground, And I wish she would say I Just exactly the way That she weaves the green carpet, almost In a day, To spread In the sunshine where children may play. i Is it with her wand tip Or the breath of her Hp That she makes the brown trees just a bower of bloom And wakes all the bird songs and ban ishes gloom? Reverence Shown to Policemen. The Jap policemen are not ver; dignified looking contrasted with our big American "cops." They are short, lean back too far to stand straight, dress in badi fitting white duck uniforms, weai huge blue goggles on their eye3 and earn about $5 a month. But the Japanese stand in the deepest awe of them and obey their lightest command. When a policeman makes an ar rest all he has to say is "Come F" ALL OVER THE HOUSE. A Plea For the Old Way of Roasting as Against Baking. It is to be feared that many ex cellent modes of cooking which pro vailed in the past are now abandon ed simply to save trouble. The mod ern cook, or the person who calls herself such, although she may be positively instructed to roast meat in the good old fashioned way in a screen in front of the fire, common ly ignores her instructions at every possible opportunity and puts the joint in the oven. The introduction cf the "kitchener" or the closed range and of the gas cooker proba bly accounts for the preference which is given to baking, while it does away w ith the necessity of bast ing and other little but important culinary attentions which roasting involves. There can be little doubt that by this exchange of method not a few persons are dietetic sufferers. The preference for meat openly roasted before the fire is not a mere sentiment, for the flavor of meat so cooked is infinitely superior, and the tissue is generally more tender than when it is baked. Now, the flavor and tenderness of meat have much to do with its digestibility and con sequently with its real value as a food. London Lancet. Earthenware Stewpans. Stewpans and baking dishes of heavy glazed earthenware are more cumbrous than the convenient agate, but where long, slow cooking is de sired they are very necessary. The humble earthen stewpan with close cover forms a substitute for the French casserole, and meat cooked properly in it reaches a fullness of flavor and nutritive value never ap proached by the same piece when cooked rapidly in a thin metal sauce pan. An elderly hen slowly cooked in the earthen vessel with appro priate seasoning is a vast improve ment over any other mode of cook ing, and cereals long boiled in a similar vessel reach a wholesome palatability that is missing in many of our throe minute breakfast foods. Vaccinating- Dogs. The veterinary surgeon was vaccinat ing a big Newfoundland dog. The ani mal was muzzled, and an assistant held Its head. A space the size of a silver dollar was shaved clean on its back, and here the virus was being applied. "I choose this spot to work on," said the surgeon, "because the dog can't scratch himself here. If I vaccinated aim on the leg, he would be apt to Irri tate the wound and make it very sore. The vaccination of dogs is new," ha went on, "but It Is a very good thins. S wonder that it was never tried before. Many valuable dogs have died from time to time of smallpox. There have, Indeed, been cases where whole packs of bounds have contracted the disease, and their killing has been necessary. I advocate every pup's vaccination. When dogs take smallpox, they take it badly. Their death is nearly always bound to follow. When they recover, they are not disfigured, their hair hid ing the pock marks, but they so seldom recover that this fact hardly count for much. Vaccination is the thing for valuable dogs." Philadelphia Record. CMneee Slumming. A Chinese woman, young and pretty, with a girl companion of about her own age, was making a tour of inspec tion through New York. It could not be determined by an onlooker what her object might be. She was intensely Interested in the skyscrapers and went In and out of buildings with the activ ity and j-ersisteucy of a book agent However, she carried nothing in hei hand but a paper fan, which she opened and closed daintily, with a rat tle of jade bracelets. She and her friend went In and out of elevators and rode to giddy heights. With no purpose that any one could detect they peered here and peeped there, all of the time opening and shutting doors with sly eagerness and much curiosity. Finally some one who had met them repeated ly In the course of the day asked what they were doing. The Chinese maid answered quick as a flash, "Me all the same slumming today." New York Herald. Lovely Porto Rico. It is said that If you put a toothpic la the ground a broom will sprout and grow, the soil Is so very fertile. Think of living in a country where you can have strawberries all the year round, a country where you can stay out of doors all through the year, literally un der your own vine and fig tree, and where, aa fast as you eat one batch 01 green peas, com and other good things you have only to plant another lot of seeds to have a continuous performance of green vegetables; a country where you can go out In the cool of the morn ing and gather fresh oranges and ba nanas from the trees end pick a lus cious pineapple from the bush. This surely is a country where every prospect pi ises. Dexter Field la Bos ton Transcript F.nm IB tne Pulpit. There is danger of making pulpit realism too melodramatic. A con servative old Scotch dominie, desiring to revive a nealtby fear of the ortho dox hades in his frivolous congrega tion, preached a Wot brimstone sermon and hod his sexton bowl dismally and clank chains at a telling Juncture in the discourse. In the panic which en sued many were Injured, and the church is now divided against ltaelf. Atlanta Constitution. A LITTLE NONSENSE. 1 What Little Miss Sunshine Dreamed In Church. The sermon had been deplorably long, there could be no disputing this, and little girls are not supposed to understand what is being said anyway. Even grownups fidgeted in their pews, and the funny little man with the white side whiskers was seen to yawn behind his hand. Little Miss Sunshine, in her crushing Sunday hat and her long cloak, had finally given up. The heat and the music and the never ending sermon were too much for her. En tirely unknown to any one, she had leaned against her mother's arm and fallen off to sleep. "Ora, wake up! Aren't you ashamed?" said her mother, who discovered the child, and little Sun shine was rudely disturbed from slumber. She straightened up, blinked her eyes two or three times and whis pered so that all the people in the pews around could hear her. "It was a 'ligious dream, mamma," she sobbed in the defensive; "I thought a crowd of angels came to our house from the sewing society and you sent Nan down to say that you were out." New York Herald. Midget Shetland Ponies. An Italian nobleman owns the smallest Shetland ponies in the world. These midget ponies are rare ly less than two feet eight inches in height and often very much lar ger, but the animals owned by the Marquis of Currano are exactly two feet high. The marquis believes in little horses, for, he says, they do more work in proportion to their size and cost less to keep than big horses. His ponies cost only 12 cents a day to feed. In Milan, a famous city of Italy, he drives his midget four-in-hand and attracts a great deal of atten tion from Dassersby. CONDENSED STORIES. How Scott Found a Word and How a Boy Read "Waverley." There is a new Scott anecdote re membered as coming from the lips of a long dead Scotchman. When a boy, he was one day watching some building operations, "probably near Abbot sford," when a lame man, bareheaded and with a pen behind his ear, came up. Taking hold of a pail, the lame man turned it over quickly and asked the workman what he was doing with it. "Wham blin' it over," one of them replied. "Thank you, thank you, my man. That's the very word I've been try ing to get all the morning!" cried Sir Walter gratefully and straight way returned to his desk. "It was the teller of this story," says the London Morning Post, "who, when some years younger, saw in a shop window as he was going to school the new romance of 'Waver ley' lying open at the first page. The schoolboy stopped to read it through the glass, and his eager ab sorption so took the fancy of the bookseller that each day as he pass ed the pages were turned for him in the shop, and he was thus enabled to read the whole story without touch ing a leaf of the book." PINGPONG IN CHINA. "Chinamen are not devoid of hu mor, as is usually supposed," said a young Yale man. "I must admit that one got the better of me and left me uncertain at to whether he was poking fun at me or not. One night one of our pingpong balls was knocked out of the clubroom win dow and lay all night by the curb, where I found it the next morning and put it in my pocket. " 'John, did you ever see a little egg like this ?' I asked him. " 'No egg,' he answered, with an indifferent glance. " 'What is it, then?' I inquired, wondering what he would say. "'Pingpong,' he replied quick as a wink. " 'How do you know ?' I ask-od. I "'Bead all about pingpong in I book,' he said; 'in old Chinee book. , Chinee play pingpong very long I thousand thousand years. Pingpong 1 in China first, before Columbus, be I fore Greek men. Chinee stop ping I pong, write about pingpong, then i forget pingpong.' " New York Herald- It Was No. Picnic. KepresentativeBluiule's large fam ily bill (thh may be read two ways) recalls the story of the mother who boarded a street car with her brood of ten. "Are these your children," snapped the rude conductor, "or is this a picnic ?" "They are my chil dren, and it's no picnic," she an swered. Philadelphia North Amer ican. j Sense Versus Poetry. "What is more welcome than e full moon?" whispered the poetic young man. "Why, a full coal scuttle," replied the practical girl and then he said no more. Chicaeo News. Care Mann Drug Co.

''Queen Quality" Imitators When every store is selling a so-cal!ed "Shoe for Women it does not mean that they have a demand for such a shoe from their customers. It means simply that they realize the enormous success of the ' Queen Quality" shoe and want to imitate that shoe and secure some of this trade. . But they cannot imitate it ! And if they could, do you want an imitation when you can have the original at no greater expense? It is a fact that most of the styles of shoes sold in- the stores originate o 1 "Queen Quality." Remember that no imitation is ever as 1 ood as the original! "Queen Quality" will continue to hold its patronage.
