The publico dun *?f thin 1 ranshition at nn Oai'lj date, under the tltlo of the "Ke\i-?.i Mandarin Bible," is announced by the American Bible society. The cnniple tlon of the work will, It Is stated, place this particular vorshin litt the hands of more Individuals than "were ever reached by any other translation. There have been Bibles in China for many years, of course, millions of them, but the forthcoming issue will be the first translated into the national language of the Chinese, . an?l it is claimed that It will be the most nearly perfect literary production in {lie Chinese republic.

The veneration given throughout the cen turies to the wisdom of Confucius hfis, because of the constant study of h's philosophy, preserved tho language al most unchanged for thirty centuries, and set a permanent standard in the nation's literature.

RACIAL VIGOR WILL RETURN j English Writer of Opinion That Matter May Safely Be Left to Mother Nature. Many writers have laid stress Upon the fact that Europe, in loslpg the flower of its youth -upon the battle field, has ltffi only the least (It uml most unhealthy to become the progeni tors of future races. Ami they cite the effect of the Napoleonic wars on the phystque ami stamina of the French. In answer to these., pessijulsts the scientific editor of Hip Illustrated Lon don News writes: ".Vga-lnst this It may lx? urged that the recuperative power of nature soon reasserts Itself, and no one who hits ! watched year by year up to 1014 (as ; did the present writer) the yearly re views on July .1-1 could doubt that, at the outbreak of the present war, the Frenchman had more than recovered the tall stature and the high muscular and nervous energy of his forefathers. ? While,0 therefore, we must expect a j certain falling ofTlntlie physique of the - children born between, say. 1014 and thirty years hence, we may be fairly I confident that, given the maintenance of the present^standard of living and the absence of any great epidemic, at "the end df that time the Kntrlish race will return to II* prewar standard of physical fitness." Just Occurred to Her. A child's prayer has long been cele brated in song and story. Prayers from the youthful lips of faith have ever appealed to mankind. There are few so hardened as not to be moved by such prav? rs. or remember >\4th awe their own lisping of "Now I lay me down to sleep." Children also, in their innoccuctt. sometimes sajf prayers which are not without their humorous side, and these, too, have been handed down to posterity. In this latter class belong the following true account of the prayer of a little girl who lives Just on the other side .of the PKtrlet line In Maryland.

Electrification of Seeds. There appears to be much interest In the electrification of seeds and the ap plication of electricity to growing plants, a recent account of work along these lines tells of a new method of aiding plant growth. The seeds, ten or twenty sack.i, are placed In tanks provided with Iron electrodes at both ends: the electrolyte Is m solution of sodium nitrate or some other fertiliz er. Particularly with cereals ? wheat, bnrlev and oats ? the vlebls of both grain and straw are said to be In creased.

As a rule tobacco chewers enjoy good health, but One tloes not know whether their physical- well being is occasioned' by the tobacco or by the necessity of remaining out of doors. Smoking Is more nearl.v universal than chewing. Cigarettes are smoked by boys, by young men and by women. One seldom sees a cigarette, in the mouth of an old man. It may be that it n old man knows better: or It? may he that one who smokes cigarette* doesn't linger here long enough to become old. A boy may sauoke cigarettes without becoming either a bandit or an idiot, but he can't smoke cigarettes and make the track team, nor can lie smoke cigarettes and head "his clfcSS In mathematics. The harm done by cigarettes Is frequently overstated. All proselyting l? prone to exaggera tion/ Until ? -cent years women addicted to' cigarette* were divided into two classes? those who had fallen ?<> low that the opinion, of the majority did not interest them and those who had climbed so high that the opinion of the majority did not interest them. Today smoking among women is not confined to n class or com! it ion. Those who wish' t ?? smoke ^lu so without ap parent loss of caste. Doubtless ft Is their right. Yet an old-fashioned man finds cause to be thankful that the habit Ik not general among women who bear children. When 1 observe a smartly tailored woman drawing sol aee from a cigarette In. the lobby of n great hotel I am not conscious of aversion. But I do hot believe that I could rise to equal tolerance If I should observe a sweet-faced woman In gingham darning holes In children's ?lockings and pausing occasionally for a deep pall a I a cigarette. A pipe Is pleasant company for the one who furnishes the draft, but it affords little pleasure to the innoeent bystander. As pity prompts us to ?spouse the cause of one who has M*n cast ?ut by society, so doe* our love for a pipe grow as others frown upon It and snUT their displeasure. The erring son holds the greater part of the mother's love; the lost sheep Is the most desirtble In the flock ; the worth of a pipe may be measured by the degree of its disrepute. The pipe smoker may mislay hla treasure, but he does not despair of finding It. If his eyes cannot discover it he need but Close them and follow his nose.
