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. The Dangers of a Malarial Atmos phere may be averted by occasionally taking Dr. M. A.

Cervera Was Acquitted. ■ Madrid, July 15.—Admiral Cer vora and the other commanders of the Spanish fleet destroyed in the battle of Santiago, whose conduct haß been the subject of inquiry by special courtmartial, was today acquitted and formally liberated. Mrs. Bailie Harrison, Ridgeway, Ua., writes : Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Med icine cured me of Sick Headache,Swim ming Head and Sour Stomach, f gave it to my children and find it better for them than anything I ever tried. The Zeilln’s and Black Draught 1 used did not have as much strength as it has. Dog poisoning continues to go merrily on and valuable butes are made to turn up their heels. The fine St. Bernard dog belonging to Sam Dunlap is the last victim. It was perfectly marked, 11 moths old, weighed 125 pounds and val ued at SIOO. One of the musicians here during the Chautauqua tried to purchase it, but Mr. Dunlap would net let it go. It was thor oughbred and registered. Its sire took a $2,500 prize at a New York dog show two years ago. Sam naturally thinks the per son who administered the poison should he curried with a rail.— Gainesville Eagle. A Narrow Escape.

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.
