MARVELLOUS BIBLES.
Four Weederfut Copies of the Scrip-
tures Are Here Described.
The largest Bilge in existence is in
the Royal Library at Stockholm. The
covers are made of solid ,planks, four
inches thick, and the pages each
measure a yard in length.' It is esti-
mated that a hundred asses' skins
must have been used to furnish the
309 pari hment leaves Of this colossal
book. et is considered priceless.
A well-to-do New Yorker is the
proud possessor of a manuscript Bible
-• written by his only son, a cripple. He
could only work about two hours a
day, i3o he took over two years to come
plete his task. It does not contain a
single error or slip, for if error or slip
occurred the youth discarded the
whole page. The verses and headings
are all in red ink, and the whole is
beautifully written.
Inn a house in Grafton Street, Lan-
don, there is a shorthand Bible which
was written at least two centuries be-
fore Pitman was born. It was written
by an apprentice in the days of James
II., when to possess a "common or
garden Bible" was rather dangerous.
A lady in the Milted States cherish-
es a Bible probably as old as the one
written lu shorthand, which an ances-
tress baked in a loaf of bread when a
house-to-house search was going to be
made for stray copies of the Scrip-
tures. The 'soldiers came to search
the house, but It is not a natter of
wonder that they failed to find the
book, which now, looking pretty old,
is the American lady's chief treasure.
Not to the Swift.
A fellow said to a famous sprin-
ter: "I'll race you and beat you i'
you'll let me choose the course and
give me a yard's start,"
"Fifty dollars to one that you
don't," said the sprieter confidently.
Name your course."
"tJp a ladder," said the challenger.

PARSONS LIVE LONGEST.
If You Would Enjoy Life You Must
Look After Your Body.
The longest livers are the parson
and the farmer; among the shortest
are the butcher and the publican. The
length of individual life, however, is
governed by heredity, which often
fails some of the members of a family
famed for longevity, by occupation or
environment, and by habits.
It has often been remarked that ex-
cessive eating ---especially flesh eating
—kills as many people as excessive
drinking, This accounts for the posi-
tion of the butcher and the pupliean
in the death -rate of trades and profes-
sions.
The parson is not a big eater, nor
is he a drinker of alcohol, but what of
the farmer? In his case there are
numerous safety-valves—the ride on
horseback, the drives to markets and
fairs, the day's shooting, and the al-
most continuous life in the open air.
Our bodies are the most perfect, and
the most delicate, of all pieces of
mechanises, yet we take less care to
adjust and repair them for regular
action than we take for the machines
we construct. We cram them with the
wrong foods, or we fill them too Lull;
we abuse them, and refuse to deny
ourselves.
We attend to our horses and cattle
`more carefully than we attend to our-
selves, and attribute disease to any
cause but the right one—self inflic-
tion. Thus lives are wasted at sixty
which ought to have been twenty
years longer, while the average dying
age of forty-three ought to be seventy.
Life depends, too, not only upon the
temperate habits, but upon its being
lived with a purpose—and that pur-
pose a good one.
Pure air is the first condition of life,
yet most people ignore it, or place it
second to comfort, by closing their
windows at night. The sedentary
worker, like the manual worker in an
impure atmospbyere, roust make up his
loss by passing abundance of pure air
through the 'lungs.
He will inhale five times more air at
a pace of four miles an hour than
when sitting at his desk. and every
muscle should be tegularly exercised.
If a healthy man learns and obeys
the laws of health, he will remain
healthy until he is worn out. Thus he
must esteem at their proper value pure
air, exercise, temperance in eating and
drinking, and the intriduction of use-
fulness and contentment into his daily
life.
The Goddess the Wood.
E'en dearer than the thought of Spring
When Wintry frosts gleans cold,
Is this glad light of Spring herself
That doth the earth enfold.
No radiant dream of paradise,
Were half so wondrous fair,
As yonder low new leafing beech --
The sunbeams in her hair.
I think the great sun worships her,
For as he seniles above
Among her frail, translucent leaves.
Ile lays his gifts of love.
A tree no more for sun -adored

Enshrined within the quiet wood,

SUN LIFE HAS RECORD YEAR.
The Sun Life Assurance Company's
48t1z. Annual Report, ^just issued, not
only surpasses last year's record, but
is better than any ever issued by the
Company. Every department of its
activities shows strength and pro -
gross. New business secured consti-
tuted a record, total assets are higher
than ever before, income Is larger,
total assurances in force are much
greater, while the surplus of over
$8,000,000 indicates that the Company
is in a splendid position to safeguard
the welfare of those intrusted to its
care.
Its assurances in force now exceed
$340,800,000, a gain of nearly $29,000,-
000 during the year. New policies is-
sued and paid for exceed $51,591,000,
while assets, which gained $7,460,000
during the year, now crowd close to
the $100,000,000 mark. To be exact,
these amount to $97,620,000.
Thenet surplus remaining above all
liabilities and capital stock exceeds
$8,000,000. During the year the Com-
pany paid to policy holders and thein'
beneficiaries $9,768,b00, a sum con-
siderably in excess of the amount paid
last year, the heavier claims being due
to the war and the influenza epidemic.
Another new record was made in
regard to income with $21,651,000 re-
ceived, a gain of over $2,300,000 dur-
ing the year. The Company is now
comfortably installed in its new office
building on Dominion Square, Mont-
real, where unequalled facilities en-
able them to carry on their large and
growing business in the best possible
manner.

Bench and Bar.
The wit and quickness of repartee
which characterizes Sir F. E. Smith,
who is now Lord Chancellor, with a
salary of $50,000, at the age of
forty-six is proverbial. In one of his
early cases he was opposed by an
elderly, prosy, long-winded lawyer,
who spoke for six hours in his con-
cluding address,
• Then Sir Frederick rose. Looking
at the judge and jury • he smiled
slightly and said:
"Your honor, I will follow the ex-
ample of my learned friend who has
just concluded, and submit the case
without argument."

Who Cares Now

Because style decrees that women
crowd and buckle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women are
warned to stop it,
A few drops of a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
sbrn, root and all, lifts out 'without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of ah ounce of freeaone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from one's feet.
This drug is an ether compound and
dries in a moment and simply shrivels
up the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. Clip this out and pin on your
wife's dresser.

"Conscription has, maybe, saved the
country," growled the soldier; "but
what I object to is the company it
drivee, a man into. I'ni a plumber by
trade, an honest workman, yet I'm
compelled to suffer the society of such
professionals as a lawyer, a minister,
and an auctioneer." "No' a bad
selection, .Tock," remarked his friend.
"Oh, maybe no' in a way; but when
the minister and the lawyer start an
argument en Egyptian law in the mid-
dle of the nicht across half a dozen
beds, wi' the blessed auctioneer as
umpire, what chance has even a
plumber o' stoppin' the gas leak?"
The poppy grown in India is of the
same sort as that raised in Turkey,
but for some reason connected with
the soil or climate, the Indian poppy
contains much less• morphine and
rnuch more narcotic than Turkish
opium.

The stout party had been in the
boot shop for over an hour, and the
patient shop assistant had had half
the stock down for her inspection.
She found a fault with them all until
his patience became quite exhausted.
"These would suit you," ire said,
taking down another pair as a last
resource,
Still the lady was not satisfied.
"I don't like this sort," she said,
"They have a tendency to get wider
when they are a bit old."
"Well, madam," retorted the exas-
perated assistant politely, "didn't
you?"

An Englishman, for his first time
visiting Ireland, was out driving one
day with Pat, when he remarked to
him:
"I say, Pat, what a lot of hills you
have in Ireland."
"Shure we have, sir," said Pat. "We
had so much land here in Ireland that
we had to put it in heaps."

YOUR DANDRUFF AND
STOPS FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Make it thick,
wavy and beautiful—
try this!
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awfrfl scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die—then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
to-night—now—any time—will surely
save your hair.
Get a shall bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from e
any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an incomparable gloss and
softness; but what will please you
most will be after just a few weeks'
use, when you win actually see a lot
of flue, downer-hair—new hair—grow-
ing all over the scalp,
