"Have you n revised copy of tio New
Testament In the library MIsh Rcld'i"
asked the young iiinu who was mak
ing an evening call.
"No Mr. Slow" she replied "I re
gret to say we haven't."
"What's a revised copy?" asked Bob
by who bad been permitted to stt up
Inter than usual.
"You are rather young yet Bobby
to understand such matters" mid his
sister kindly. "A revised copy means
that certain changes hare been made In
tho Bible which wore considered neces
sary to n better understanding of tho
toxt. Nov you hnd better run off to
bed there's u good boy."
The vomit; man could scarcely con-
ceal his admiration.
"Well It that's what It is" said Bob-
by "our family Bible Is revised 'causa
pa changed it tho other day. Ho
scratched out tho date of your birth
and mndc it three years later. He told
ma something about you nnd Mr. Slow
nnd said that It wouldn't do any harm
nohow and If Mr. Slow wanted to look
at It It might do a deal of good."
Presently tho young man went away
and a family consultation was held. It
resulted lu Bobby passing a sleepless
night.

Nowhere Is to be found a more pom-
pons or n moro nwo Inspiring person
than tho headsman who pluys in India
the role which the olllclal hangman
plays lu u European city.
Ills deadly work he performs with
grent skill nnd In his bearing thero Is
a certain dignity which is never seen
In a European hangman. Moreover
while In Europe the populace regards
a hangman with n feeling which Is
partly contempt nnd partly horror the
pcoplo of India respect and fear tbo
public executioner nnd never seem to
think that he has lowered himself In
the social scale by accepting tho oftlco
of headsman.
On festive occasions and when ar-
rayed In his robes of otllce tho execu-
tioner Is decidedly n plcturcsauo flguro
and altogether different from tbo som-
ber nnd grim hangman of Europe.

In traveling from Luzerne to Chlasso
on tho St. Cothnrd line tbo train
passes through scvcnty-ulno tunnels.
Now how muny tunnels does It pass
through from Chlasso to Luzerne?
"Seventy-nine of course" will bo the
natural answer. But this Is not bo as
on Its return trip it only goes through
Bcvcnty-elght tunnels. This Is becauso
at one point of tbo rond near Fuldo

passing through a small tunnel but the
other being laid on ground made from
