Some Strange Bible Facts.
The learned prince of Granada,
heir to the Spanish throne,impris
oned «by order of the crown for
fear he would aspire to the throne,
was*kept in solitary confinement
in the old prison at the Place of
Skulls, Madrid. After thirty
three years in this living tomb
death came to his release, and the
j following remarkable researches,
; taken from the Bible aud marked
i with an old nail on the rough
| walls of his cell, told how the braiu
sought employment through the
weary years:
In the Bible the word “Lord”
is found 1,858 times, the word,
“Jehovah” 6,855 times, the word
“reverend” but once, and that in
Psalms CXI. 9.
The ninth verse of the eighth
chapter of Esther is the longest.
The eighth verse of the ninety
seventh Psalm is the middle verso
of the Bible,
The thirty-fifth verse, eleventh
chapter of John, is the shortest.
In Psalms CVII four verses are
alike—the Btb, 15th, 21st and
81sl.
Each verse in Psalm CXXXVI
ends alike.
No names or words with more
than six syllables are found in the
Bible. !
The thirty-seventh chapter of
Isaiah and nineteenth chapter of
II Kings are alike.
The world “girl” occurs but
once in the Bible, aud that in Jo
el 111, 8.
There lire found in both hooks
of tho Bible 8,583,488 letters, 778,-
693 words, 81,878 verses, 1,189
chapters and 67 books.
The twenty-sixth chapter of the
Acts of the Apostles is the finest
chapter to read.
The most beautiful chapter is
the twenty-third Psalm.
The four most inspiring prom
ises are in John xiv, 2, vi, 87;
Matthew’ xi, 28, and Psalms
xxxvii, 4.
All who flatter themselves with
vain boastings should read the
sixth chapter of Matthew.
All humanity should learn tho
sixth chapter of St. Luke, from
the twentieth verse no its ending.

Oriental Judgment on Mixed Babies.
The Greek ecclesiastical author
ities at Aleppo have been called
upon todecide a case which strong
ly recalls Solomon’s famous judg
ment. By a strange coincidence
a woman and her daughter both
gaveLirth to a female child at the
same time. But the babies got
mixed, and, as one of them was
ugly and the other pretty and
healthy, both mothers claimed the
latter. The elder woman main
tained that, as all her other chil
dren were handsome, the ugly
child could not ho hers, whilst her
daughter claimed that, being
young, handsome and strong, she
could not be the mothor of a weak
and ugly babe. The religious
chief of the town settled the affair
in a summary way. He adjudged
the beautiful child to the daugh
ter on the ground that, it being
her first, the occasion was not tc
be made one of humiliation and
disappointment, whilst the elder
mother could afford to forego her
claim since she had already had
several handsome children.

Dirt was broke this morning on

for the erection of the buildings
for the cotton oil mill. The cot
ton oil company has purchased
two and one-half acres of land
there and the buildings will cover
the greater portion of it.
The company proposes to be
ready for business by the first of
October, but will begin to buy seed
just as soon as it appears on the
market.
The mill will have the capacity
to grind and make into oil 80 tons
of seed per day and our people will
no longer have to ship their seed
