STRANGE FACT IN RELATION TO BIBLE HIS.

That such is tho fact can, however, be learned
from the Bible itself, which tolls us that Juba
was the father of all who handled the harp and
organ. and that from Tubsl- Gains family came
those who work in iron and brass. The mode
or pattern of any remarkable work OF ART WA ~
always kept in one of these families, and passco
on from generation to generation.
After the manufacture of cloth had superseded %
fig leaves the graceful and unique vesture o. o.
our first parents, large and important FAM,
began the making Of various articles h" OF sa0i by
jacobs order, tho celebrated coat OF many col
ors for Joseph, which was partly the means o
his gaining SO great power and Importance.
