HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Herald, 1901-02-22, Page 2WHAT BECOMES OF ALL THE BIBLES The success of a widely read novel, Suede as "David Sarum," invariably wets people talking about enormous pales, and paragraphs find their way into print recording the fact that so many thousands of copies have been sold. Anil we talk about it as though tt were a nine days' wonder, totally. unmincltul of a book which has ruu through countless editions, and of which nearly 2,000,000 copies were printed in New York last year. That boob is the Bible,. Cif course everybody knows that snore copies of the Bible have been printed and sold than of any other book, bat few persons realize, or stop to think about It if they do, just to what extent the Bible is circulated. "What becomes of all the pins ?" is Le question that has never been satis- 'factorily solved. "What becomes of all the Bibles ?" Is one that is even more difficult of solution. A pia as- sumes infinitesimal proportions cone - mired with a bound book, and when one considers that the increased pub- lication of Bibles is out of all propor- tion to the natural increase in popu- lation, one cannot help wondering what becomes of all of them. It stands to reason. that a great many copies find their way iuto the hands of foreign missionary societies and are sent to the heathen of other toads. Possibly the proportion is one- half. But even then the balance for home consumption, if so purely mer- cantile a phrase may be permissibly, Is very considerable. One New York publishing house alone, the American Bible Soiety, issued during the last year 1,e80,892 copies, of which a trifle more than half were sent abroad. Ansi one year is very much like another in this respect. Times may be good or times may be bad, but the printing of the Scriptures goes on, Now, what becomes of them all? One seldom discards a Bible, no mat- ter liow old or worn. The ordinary book, except to the bibliophile, is re- garded as an article of commerce - something to buy and sell, something to read ani enjoy. and then, if neces- elty demand, pass along that some- one else may enjoy its benefits. If this were not so there would be no second-hand book dealers. Not se with the Bible. You may hunt the town over, you may delve among dust covered tomes In out of the way book stores until your head grows dizzy, and I doubt if you will find a dozen second hand Bibles in all New York. I asked the proprietor of one of those old book- shops if he could explain why it wets. 73e shrug. ged his shoulders and frankly admit- ted that it had been a puzzle to him for years. Anti he was a man of ripe experience, too. At the offices of the American Bible Society I was only bewildered by fig - ares without having any light thrown upon the real question of what be- comes of all the Bibles -the Bibles that are not sent to the heathen. Tho figures as to production were sae pendons in themselves. I was told that the various Bible societies alone had distributed more than 200,000,- 000 since the year 1804, and this cumber did not include the output of individual publishing houses, of which there are about a dozen in Now York alone, which issue Bibles, The British •and Foreign Bible Sce ciety of London operates on even a larger scale than the American Bible Society. Last year 4,470,489 copies were printed and distributed, and since 1801, when the society was organized, it has issued no less than 160,009,893 Bibles. The distribution of Bibles in for- eign lands a not accomplished with- out sever( e •.•dsliips and often clan- ger to life. T;. , colporteurs, as the traveling agents err called, are quite heroic in their devotion to the work, especially in lands where fanaticism holds sway. China is just at present the theatre of the most interesting activity. It is estimated by the most care- ful authorities that about 1,iaO0,000,- 000 Bibles have been printed in this century. Seme estimates are as high as three billions. As the population of the world is estimated at about 1,rioo,o00,000, if the latter estimate were true, there have been two BI bles for every inhabitant of the world. LA GRIPPE'S RAVAGES. A Campden Lady Cured of Its After Effects, She Was Left Weak and Run Down, and Unable to Regain Ber Strength Until She Used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In the village of Campden, Ont., and throughout the surrounding •country, there are few people bet- ter known or more highly esteemed than Air. and Mrs. Daniel Albright, Mr. Albright has for many years filled the position of village postmas- ter. in addition to conducting a boot and shoe business: But it is with the postmaster's estimable wife that this artiole has chiefly to do, as it gives, practically in her own words, the particulars of her recov- eery from a severe illness through the use of Dr,, Williams' Pink Pills. To a reporter who asked Mrs. Albright if she would consent to give the par- ticulars of her illness and cure for publication, she said- "If you think any experience will help some other Sufferer, I am quite willing to give it, for I may tell you that I am a very enthusiastic admirer of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For some years prior to the winter of 1898 I suffer- ed with a lame back, which frequently prevented me from doing my house- hold work. Later exposure to cold developed sciatica, and every move- ment of the body caused intense pain. In this way I passed gloomy days and restless nights, until the Winter o1 1898, when my trouble was aggravated by an attack of la grippe. The first and most severe symptoms of this trouble passed away, but it left me in a weak and depressed condition. I did not ap- pear to be able to recover my strength; my appetite was very fickle; I was extremely nervous and my heart would palpitate painfully at the least exertion!. I had been un- der a doctor's care, but diel not re- cover my strength, and as a conse- >laence I was much depressed in Spirits. At this juncture a friend who called upon me advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I de- ckled to follow the aclvioe and pro - mired a supply. To my gratification 1 felt an improvement in my condi- tion almost from the outset, and af- ter using the pills for a tittle over a month I was once more enjoying the best of health, every ti -ace of the trouble that had afflicted hoe bavleg ciisappearol. It is nearly three years since I used the pills and I ve been well and strong ever since, and have the best of reason for ascribing my present good lioelth to the nee of Dr. Williams' Pink },'ills. Dr. Williams' Pint: Pills are a tonic and not a purgative medicine. They enrich the blood from the first dose to the last and thee bring health and )strength to every organ tri the body. The genuine pills are sold only in boxes with the full name, "Dr. Wil- liamsPink Pills for Pale People," printed on the wrapper. If your Beal- eejr cannot supply you. send direot to the Dr, Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont., and the pills will be mailed post pair) at 00 cents e, bob, tar six boxes for $2.60.

Buller was app .tinted quartermaster - general. A small sum of under £20 was pass- ed by him, the said sum to be ex- pended in typewriters at a certain barracks. His order in pie course came before a War Office otork in some minor post, who marked it "F 1.7 considers this demand most unu- sual. Indeeed he does not know what to say about it." From vacillating F 17 the docu- ment passed to J 7, who in turn, ex- pressed his disapproval and forward- ed it to F 1, the Financial Soorotary, who initialed iris agreement with F 7, and F 17. In the course of a fortnight or so the order, indorsed by these cabalis- tie characters, returned to the gen- eral. Without a moment's hesitation Buller marched off to the Financial Secretary and gravely handed in his resignation,. "Dear me, this is most extraordi- nary," said the Financial Secretary. "You can't seriously mean, Sir Red - vers, that yon intend to resign be- cause a clerk disapproves of a trifle like this ?'- "Indeed. I do,' answered the gen- eral. "And why ?" "Because I imagined that I was given the Q. M. G. as an experienced man, and if every little tuppenny -ha'- penny clerk is going to be allowed to override me, I'm off." London paper -A young lady abrupt- ly turned a corner and rani againet a boy who was ragged, small, and freckled. Stopping as soon as she could, she turned te, him and said: "I beg your pardon ; indeed I ani sorry." The small, ragged, and freckled boy looked up in blank amazement for an instant, then taking off about throe - fourths of a cap, bowed very low, smiled until his face was beaming, and answered: "You kin hew my parding, and wel- come, miss ; and yet may ran ag'in me and knock me olean down and I won't say a word," }After the young lady passed en he turned to a comrade and said, half apologetically : • 'I never had any one ask my Oard- intg an' It kind o' took me off my feet." Tho following etory is popular at present in the States: The other day a guide was showing an American round St. Paul's In Lon- don. "That, sir, said the mart, "his the tomb of the greatest naval 'ero Eur- ope or the world over knew -Lord Nelson. This marble sarcoughogus weighs forty-two tons. Hinside that his steel rocepticle weighing twelve tons, hinaide that leis a leaden casket 'emetically sealed, weighing ever two tons.

"No, sor." "'Well, I thought you would have been married before now 7" "Oh, Slow sor," she said. "There's two walrtin' " "'Nye !" he exclaimed.

This Is what a wrieer in one of the English magazines predicts will be the state of affairs when an- other century rolls around- "By that time women will be all six feet in height, many of theni considerably over, while the aver- age height of a man will be five feet nothing. Women will be strong and lusty; broad and heavy in build, and will be very proud of her large feet, thick wrists, powerful limbs and great muscular develop - anent, while men will have grown vain of their trimly -corseted waists, niee pink and white complexions, and soft voices. "Love will not have been coin, pletely done away with, though see- tihnent will have given way to com- mon sense. Every woman will be required to marry and support two husbands, one of whom must be a useful, domesticated creature, eapa.- ble of tending the children and look- ing after the household, while the wife is away in the city earning good money to keep the home to- gether, and the other will be a better looking, and, thereford, more ornamental creature (not a 'general utility' man :Ike the 'house- keeper'), whose duties will be to act as companion or 'gentleman help' to the mistress and ruler of the man- sion, and keep things up to the mark generally. Women a century hence will all wear 'bloomers,' both literally and figuratively speaking ; any woman transgressing by appearing in along- taileti skirt will be condemned to act as public street scavenger' for as long a period as the local council shall determine. Women will also wear a moustache, and the faces of men will gradually become smooth. Crooks will no longer be at a premium, as tiny tabloids of food will take the place ef the elaborate dishes of the past. We shall be able to get through a six -course dinner in about two minutes, a tabloid for each course, or, if we prefer it, we can have, multum in parvo, a tabloid with everything compressed and condcnse.i into ono harmonious whole," UOT OF THE TRAINED NURSE. I is Not One of Ease, But of constant Toil and Vigilance. The exacting demands made upon the trained nurse are little appre- ciated by tjxe majority of people. While she receives good pay -when she is fortunate enough tea collect her bills -she earns every dollar , of -it, and more, too. A seriome ease, where great responsibility rests upon her, is a great drain open the vital energies of the nurse, and at its ending she must often take an enforced rest of more or less dura- tion. No woman, however strong, can pursue so arduous a calling -without now and again intervals of rest. and although her wages at first sight appear high (from I201 to $25 a week, often Is a heavy drain on her employehts), yet when one considers the many weeks in the year when the nurse must rest, it brings down thetsum to a moderate weekly aver- age. And site cannot puasue this life, unless exceptionally strong, through a very long term of years, Twenty-five years of nursing will sap the vitality of most and leave them prematurely worn. Tihe ques- tion that should impress all nurses very strongly is that of laying by asum elf money, that, carefully In- vested, may yield them enough to live on when the inevitable break- down conies. Acrd tbe laying by must begin, or should begin, with the first case, unless the nurse is in debt for tuition. She cannot afford to put off so important a matter., And no one knows until she has tried how realty easy it is to lay aside a small sum every month, a sump never to be touched, no matter what temp- tation awaits one. Henry Clews, the great banker, says that every man may become wealthy by saving and prudently Investing those savings. And so every woman will find. In the Ootolxtr number of the Ameri- can Journal of Nursing n. correspondent tells 'how she has had her sympathies aroused by the case of a nurse who heti been at work for nearly Meaty years and finds herself on the edge of a complete breakdown, with but $200 between herself and charity, and is therefore obi1ged to struggle on when elm should b.: resting. It is the old story, so eonunon La all lives, of reLa- tivee who needed her help a,ad of her giving everything she could spare to (;hem. Now they Were all dead and sdtle left `with nothing anel ruined health. It Was self-sacrificing to give, but elle also ltia,d a. duty toward her- self, and had she constantly saved a little toward the time when she tvould need it soxely elle would not have been left In moll cruel poverty. The correspondent took it for a tact which her: fellow nurses should take to heart, and for twonseil. she was saving against tbe protrable rarityy day. There are safe investments, United States bonds, saviega banks, life insuianee endow- ment policies, etc., that every woman can avail herself of, and it teller duty to do it. Better have fewer pleas= ures, plainer bboth.s now, with a. blessed certainty of bread and butter by and by. One should not be mean. but sthould also save. --Chicago Chron- 101e.

Algoma, Ont., Feb. 18. -`(Special), --Most of the inhabi- tants of this district are constantly exposed to inclement weather and ex- tremes of heat and cold, with a re- sult that very many bad cases of chronic kidney disease, lame back and rheumatism are to be found among our people. Mr. D. Haight is one of our most respected residents who has been a terrible. martyr to the dread torture of chronic kidney die - awe. For four yeare he has suffered. Ho has tried every prescription, patent medicine and home remedy that has been suggested to him or advertised, but all to no purpose. Mr. Haight enumerates at least a dozzen dis- agreeable doses which he has forced down his throat in the hope of get- ting some relief, but all in vain. Some of these would help him for al, time, but very soma the pain would return with renewed vigor to torture him. At last some one suggested that King of remedies, Dodd's Kidney Pil1F. He had tried so many niedi- cinee that he had very little faith, but at the suggestion of his friends he bought and nand a box. He com- menced to improve from the first dove, and gained steadily as the treatment continued, till finally every vestige and symptom of his old enemy had disappeared, and he was a well man. Thin is over a year ago and Mr. Haight has had no return or sign of the old trouble. His has been regarded by the peo- pie here as one of the most remark- nblo cures that has ever bean ef- fected in Algoma. lir. Haight says, "Peer years ago my kidneys were in a bad aatate ; I tried old medicines and new medicines of all kinds, doc- tors' prescriptions and home-made euros. Some of them relieved me for a little while, but I was soon- as bad as ever again, and a second trial of the saline thing proved its worth- lessness. At last I was recommend- ed to get Dodd's Kidney Pills and they cured me and I have stayed cured." COMEDY AT Tal: FRONT DOOR Amusing Inquiries overheard by the Casual Wayfarer. Some of the overheard colloquies• on the doorsteps of New Yerk man- sions are very amusing, says the New York Tribune. ' Is your missus in ?" eAked a carriage footman of an indoor footman, with familiar jocularity, while bis mistress sat in unsuspecting,- state nsuspectingstate in her victoria. "No, she ain't," answered the 'other, with a grin. " Well, I m glad, and you're glad, and missile in the carriage is glad," ex- claimed the facetious footman. " Is lilies B---- at Thome ?" Inquired a man of the new butler. " Are you Mr. X—?" queried the servant, hale opening the door. " No; my name is Mr. Smith," said the caller. " Then she isn't at home," way the unblush- iug answer. An English lord, tvllo was rather noted for hip density, went to all on a woman who had entertained him at dinner on a former visit to America.
