ces. Itut all educators agree that the
use of This vocabulary leaves much -
everything, in fact --to be desired. Our
slude'nte are declared to be worldly ig-
norant of the masterpieces of literature,
especially of biblical liteinlure. Ac-
•ci rding to Professor Wilhelm Lynn
Phelps. whose remarks have been al•

norarco of college' sludents' of biblical
literature is univerea1. profound and
complete." If, says Professor Phelps.

examined on the most familiar stories
of the Old Testament, "the results
would be a magnificent contribution to

In an article lit a current religious
rerindical Professor Phelps gives sev-
eral anu=ing instances of the ignorance
hu complains of. One fneshman did not
know what. "the penally of Adam" was
and ventured the happy conjecture That
pdssibly it was the mark put on hini
for slaying his brother. Another col-
lege student had never heard of Got-
gctha. and when teat the New Testa-
ment mentioned it he brightened up
and said: "Il was Goliath." That such
ignorance of the Bible is (disgraceful

-eagerly admits, but the question of re-
inedies fins presented some difficulty.

lion. All (hose who enter college are
.examined in English -literature, and the
• !rooks they are examined on are not al-
ways of the right kind. \Vhy not ex -
.amine Ih. m in biblical literature! The
Bible has within its pages every kind

needy from that point of view; "it com-
bines the noblest prase and poetry with
the utmost simplicity of diction." Why
not as': examining hoards to substitute
Bib'e pas -sages for the selections now

Thirteen policemen and three agents
t•f the secret police were sent !here, un-
der the command of a captain of the

were dark -the party thought the occu-

guard the exit from the house, the
captain, accompanied by the dvornik
(house porter) and some of the police
went to the flat -which seemed perfect -
•y quiet. They knocked again and
again, but got no answer.
At last one of the agents, n heavy
man. suggested breaking the door open,
when suddenly it opened. an ane
I:norking tate lamp from the captains
hand, and. amidst the darkness, a vol-
ley of • Millets poured front the room.
I he occupants of the room then rushes
out, filing as they went. Several of the
police fell with shticks of pain and the
panic and confusion that followed 'n
the dark corridor allowed the Three
workmen to get downstairs, closely fol-
kev d, however, by the few unwound-
ed policemen. But those who were
guarding the exit could not distinguish
between their own omen and the fugi-

caped.

An odd caw „t private vengeance
growing out of the law's delay is et
the hands of the police of Odessa, Rus-
sia, for settlement. Two men at high
social Blanding are in hostwtal for 1r-
pwira p r•rlinielary to appearaing ill
court.
The trouble broke out one day in filo
(atter part of last fitly when rho Prin-
ces.; Urussowit appeared in the Odessa
railway .iation to take a (rain for St.
I'rter.burg. Just as she was about to
step int., ilk' railway carriage a hand-

shrugged his shoulders in token of dire
necees:ty. Then seizing the lady by the

husllei into the railway carriage. The
young man walked coolly 10 the guar -

A WELL, CONSIDERED RESOLVE.
Some time before the railway elation
scout', Jekitsch had sent to every one
who had any aocial standing in cr
about Odessa announcement cards with
the picture, of Prince Sergins Nicolai-
witsch Urussow and a statement that
he tree by dishonest swindling methods
°learned from hitt► an slate worth 500,-
000 rubles for 21.1».) rubles.
Jokitsctt had also brought a suit
against the l'iinee for restitution nt the
property. The early hearing.; brought
out from the I'ruure admissions that he
had not acquired the properly in a
elf -telly regular way, but Ito utterly re-
fused to give it up on any terms. Ile
lough! the suit by dilatory tactics and
in the midst of them he died.
After II►e death of the Prince, leis
wife, a young aril handsome woman,
stwwod her'se'lf equally obstinate. She
would not let go the property and she
had influence enough to keep the legal
pr. -wee filets dragging tong at a snail's
pace.
.Jokilsch at tact hit upon the idea • t
inflicting a public chastisement on .her
with the idea that it wauid compel the
authuntiet to lake notice of the case
and render a speedy decision. 1'o make
the goad of publitety more effective. he
sent out later another set of annetince-
ment cards with

The Princess refused to prosecute leer

on himself by sending a number of them
abroad.
