RARE BOOK FOUND.
"THE PLANE MAN'S PATH-
WAY TO HEAVEN."
There has been found in a Che- shire cottage in 1001 copy of the book "The Planne Man's Pathway to Heaven." This was the title of one of the two books which John Bunyan received from his wife when he, a soldier at the time in the Par liamentary Army, was 16 years of age. The two books were the only marriage portion which Bunyan't wife brought him. Only one first edition copy of The Plane Mau's Pathway to Heaven" is known to exist, and it is in the British Museum, says the Timer,
The Plane Man's Pathway to Heaven" was written by Arthur Deat, and the 1601 book, which a Nantwich man, Thomas Hughes, a roadman, of Burland Chapel House, has found among lumber in an old chest of drawers, is dedicated by Dent in the quaint manner of his time. The preface announces:- "This edition is printed From South Shoobery, Essex, April 10, Anno Domini 1801-Your worships to command in the Lord-Arthur Dent."

At the subsequent request of the editor he treated the man, who in gratitude for the relief he had been given described his condition in a letter, which was published in con- nection with the newspaper's cam- paign. Some 120 persons applied, to the editor of the newspaper to be put in touch with the doctor. Twenty-three of these patients were treated free of charge by him.
Mrs. Quirk, in evidence, sald that the flat was perfectly clean. She had seen a few beetles in the flat, but not many.
Mr. Thomas Ernest Howard, a pestologist, said he forced out about forty or fifty beetles which came from under a stone floor in the basement of the house. On sub- sequent visita no beetles were forced to the surface, but later, in Mrs. Moseley's time, seven or eight were killed.
Beetles thrived best on warmth and moisture, he said. His firm had been established, for a hundred years.
Mr. Justice Roche: Did they call themselves pestologists then or rat- catchers-I could not say.
