A, FARINI SUCCUMBS TO ATTACK OF FLU Port Hope, Jan, 19.--A well known figure in Port Hope in the person of Mr, G, A, Farini, Dorset street, passed away at jhe Port Hope Hospital after a very brief illness 'and everyone was surprised to learn that he had succumbed to an aftack of flu, for despite the fact that he was in his ninety-first year he was as active as a man of thirty, He was born in Lockport, N.Y, on the 10th of June, 1838, and came to Bowmanville when quite a young lad, His parents were the late Thomas W, Hunt and Han- nah Soper, He was brought up in this district and when a man be- came a great tight rope walker, having at one time crossed the Niagara Gorge on a tight rope, In this capacity he travelled practic- ally to, every country in the world and learning many languages, His name was changed by act of par- liament from Hunt to Farini, the latter being more suitable for his business, Besides o, great traveller, Mr, Farini was an author of some note and an artist, Had we time 1and space his life would make a most interesting account but we can only touch on some of the saliant points about which we know from personal contact with this most remarkable man, He vetained his interest in every thing, painting, reading and walk- ig each day.

(Mannie,) INSIST ON BLACK COVER FOR BIBLE Various Nations Have Dif. ferent Preferences in Color Styles London, Jan, 19.--The English- man's Bible must be black--no green or purple Bibles for him, On the other hand gay covered Bibles go like hot cakes in the tropics. These facts were disclosed by a visit to the British and Foreign Bible Society's headquarters where a great variety of Bibles are now on exhibit. "The Englishman's choice of black for the cover of his Bible appears to be based on the fact that in the first place, black, as a color stands up to hard usage bet- ter than lighter colored covers, 2nd in the second that in the past beople considered that black sym- bolized sacredness, and that tradi- tion still holds true," declared pub- lishing superintenent @. Gowan in an interview, "In the tropics, however, people seem to be actu- ated by a 'Brighter Bibles Move- ment." For instance, we never send black Bibles to South America, On account of these different tastes we have to carry in stock Bibles bound in a great variety of colors."
