LANGUAGE AND THE BIBLE.
Ths Book That Standardised All the
Dlaleote of Britain.
Before the printing of the Bible there
was uo English language. It was the
Bible that standardized all the dia
lects of Britain and that bound them
together Into n living speech, and it
was the Bible that was the foundation
of the education and culture of Eng
land. As the English historian Green
says. "The English people became a
people of a book, and that book was
the Bible.”
To a large degree the same Is true of
Germany, but It Is not necessary to go
buck to the middle ages to find the
Bible forming a nation's culture and
fixing Its language.
On many of the mission fields, espe
cially In Africa, the language of the
uatlves hud never been reduced to writ
ing until the missionary provided them
with an alphabet In order that the
Bible might be translated Into their
tongues. The Bible has then become
both the language textbook and the
' spiritual guide of these African na
tions. In mission schools the world
l over the Bible Is the language text
j book. The people of the mission lands
want their children to learn the west
ern tongue, and they send them to the
school. They learn the missionary’s
language, but In the learning they find
the missionary's God.—Christian Her

EGGS IN HEATED RICE.
A Way th# Chinas* Hava For Hatohlng
Ducks and Chiokana.
The Chinese method of hatching as
many us GOO duck and chicken eggs In
one sitting has not yet been adopted In
this country.
Unhusked rice Is used for the pur
pose, and when this has been roasted
It is either cooled by a fanning process
or tbe wind Is allowed to blow through
It until It Is lukewarm.
Tbe breeder then sprinkles a three
Inch layer of rice in the bottom of a
wooden tub, and on this surface places
nbr.ut 100 eggs; another layer of rice '
about two Inches thick is Spread over
them, mid on this layer eggs are also
placed, and the tub la filled In this way
until there are six layers of rice and
live of eggs, making GOO egga In all in
the tub.
Every twenty-four hours the rice has
to bo liented, and for this purpose the
eggs have to be removed, the bottom
layer this time being placed on top and
the other layers one row lower down,
the eggs that occupied the central po
sition In the tub uow being placed at
the edges.
There is some difficulty in gauging
the exact time at which tbe eggs will
butch, and unless care Is taken some
of the young ones are likely to be
smothered. This Is, of course, the point
ut which tbe ability of the expert is
shown.—St Louis Post-Dispatch.
Economical.
A good story Is related of an Eng
lish theatrical manager who by thrift
and hard work had amassed a fortune.
Previous to the production of one play
the stage carpenters had to repair a
trap, and the head carpenter went to
the manager and Informed him that It
could not be done In tbe dark.
“Well, lad, thee won’t have V gas,”
answered tbe manager. "Here, tak'
this and buy a candle.”
And he banded blm a halfpenny.
The carpenter pleaded that they
wanted two in order to get sufficient
light
“How long will t* Job take tbeel”
asked the manager.
“About ten minutes,” was the reply.
“Then cut t’ candle In two,” was the
answer. “Thee won’t have any more
money.”
Milton and Aorlal Warfare.
Milton bad a prophetic vision of war
aeroplanes and Zeppelins when ha
wrote:
The towers of heaven ore filled
With armed watch that renders all access
Impregnable; oft on the bordering deep
Encamp their legions, or with obsours
wing
Scout far and wide Into the realm of
night.

The Chippowayan Woman.
1 I teals may vary, but It seems that
the Chlppeway Indians also had a
well rounded conception of "woman’s
sphere." “Women were made to labor,"
an old cli 1st told tbs traveler Hearns.
“One of them can carry or haul as
much as two men can do. They also
patch our tents and'make and mend
our clothing—In fact, there Is no such
thing as traveling any considerable dis
tance without their asslstancs”

emptorily.
“I’m so glad!" his wife exclaimed.
“You take the announcement mors
good naturedly than usuaL”
"Yes; It’s pleasant to hear you ose
the plural pronoun. Ordinarily when
there Is any economising needed yon
•inset me to do It all.”

REPORT ON MINING IN
THE TOLOVANA DISTRICT
During 1114 and 1915 hundreds of
people attracted by the reported find
ing of gold in the headwater region o'
Tolovana Ulver, In Central Alaska,
rushed into the district, and syste
matic mining began there during the
summer of 1915. Although consid
erable prospecting was done only a
bout ten mfiies were commercial!)
productive, but these made a gold out
put to the value of $80,000. Gold
bearing gravels appear in the beds of
the present streams, in buried chan
nels and bench gravels, but most of
the gold has been won front the deep
channels on Livlngood creek, which
have proved to be far richer than
either the stream or the bench plac
ers. Some shallow placers have al
so yielded gold, notably on Olive
Creek, but only prospects have been
found In the benches.
A report by A. H. Brooks, entitled
"Preliminary Report on the Tolovana
District, Alaska,” has been issued re
cently by the United States Geologi
cal Survey, Department of the Inter
ior, as Bulletin 642—G, in which the
facts known about this new district
are stated, and the general relations
are Illustrated by a map. This re
port will be distributed on requests
addressed to the Director, United
States Geological Survey, Washing

German Subs Active.
CHRISTIANA, Oct. 3.—The Ger
man submarines are becoming active
in the Arctic ocean and within the
past few days have torpedoed three
Norwegian ships bound for Russian
ports in the White Sea. The Bhlps
are the Sinsen, Ravn and Rolfjarl.
The crews were saved. It is believed
(hat the activity oi the rubmarines so
far north is due to an attempt of the
Germans to cripple the Norwegian
trade with Russia.
Vice Consul Dies.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.—Emil
Pohli, vice-consul of Switzerland for
California and Nevada and a promi
nent San Francisco lawyer, died here
a victim of pneumonia. He was born
in Zurich, Switzerland, 64 years ago,
and has made his home in San Fran
cisco since 1883.
