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,"

eejr cannot supply you. send direot to

‘)A QUARTETTE
OF STORES
L
eatagegeoggeyeaaegoeas
Some years ago when the non-mili-
tary side of the War Offiee was more
powerful than It is at present, Oen.
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

WOMAN IN
WO YEARS.
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=

The Oase of Es. Haight is an Interest-
ing Story of How,a, Despairing Inva-
lid Vinai,ly Gained Ilealtth and
Strength Through the Use of
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Little Rapids. 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."

the •world is the baby, all
dimples and joy. The blest
