A curious custom was that which was
observed quite recently in the parish
church of St. Ivos Hants. On a table in
tho church at tho chancel 6teps were
placed six Bibles, and near them a box
and three dice. Six boys and six girls,
solemnly watched over by the vicar, Rev.
E. Tottenham, and a crowd of parishion¬
ers, threw dice each three times te see
which should have the six Bibles. Three
went to tho boys and three to the girls.
The highest throw was made by the
smallest girl, 37. dates from
This remarkablo custom
2078, when Dr. Robert Wylde bequeathed
$3,500, of which tho yearly interest was
to be spent In buying six Bibles, not to
cost more than seven shillings and six¬
pence each, to bo cast for by dice on the
communion table every year by six boys
and six girls of tbe town, A piece of
ground was bought with the money, and
is now known as Bible Orchard. The
legacy also provided for the payment of
ten shillings each year to the vicar for
preaching a sermon commending the ex¬
cellency, perfection and divine authority
of tho holy Scriptures. The will of the
eccentric doctor was exactly observed,
and for more than two hundred years
dice were regularly cast upon the com¬
munion table. Lately a table erected on
tho chancel steps was substituted, the
bishop of tbe diocese having considered
that the communion table was not for
throwing dice.—Boston Transcript
Galvanizing Wooden Typ*.
A recent French invention is reported
of a process by which wooden type is
galvanized as to the top of the letter only,
It seems to bo of a curious, rather than a
specially valuable character, but by ap-
•fi lication to large typo, the process does,
i is claimed, result in tho production of
a strong typo only a trifle heavier than
the naked wood. It is also claimed that
the coating of copper which is applied to
the letter has tbe effect of making it as
strong as one of type metal, and so serv¬
ing to preserve tho finest lines—a diffi¬
cult thing to do with the wood. The
galvanizing process is simple, for the
type is placed in the ordinary galvano-
plastic bath, but it is not explained just
how tho operation is confined to the top
of the letter, —New York Mail and Ex¬
press.
