Strange Bible Facts.

The learned Prince of Granada, heir
to the Spanish throne, imprisoned by
the order of the crown for fear he
should 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 fol-
lowing remarkable researches, taken
from the Bible and worked with an old
nail on the rough wall of his cell, told
how the brain sought employment
through the weary years: Sin the Bible
the word lord is found 1853 times;
the word Jehovah 6,S55 times; the
word reverend but once, and that in
the ninth verse of the one hundred
eleventh Psalm. The eighth verse of
the one hundred eighteenth Psalm is
the middle of the Bible. The ninth
verse of the eighth chapter of Esther
is the longest verse; the thirty-ffth
verse, eleventh chapter of st. John, is
the shortest. In the one hundred
seventeenth Psalm four verses are
alike-the eighth, fifteenth, twenty-frst
and thirtv-first. Each verse of the one
hundred thirty-sixth Psalm ends alike.
No names or words with more than six
syllables are found in the Bible. The
thirty-seventh of Isaiah and nineteenth
of II. Kings are alike. The word
girl occurs but once in the Bible, and
that in the third verse and third chap
ter of Joel. There are found in both
books of the Bible 1856, iSS letters,
IT'S, 693 words, 1873 verses, 1,1S9
chapters and sixty-six books. The
twenty-sixth chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles is the finest chapter to read.
The most beautiful chapter in the Bible
is the twenty-third Psalm. The four
most inspiring promises are John, four
teenth chapter and second verse; John,
sixth chapter and thirty-seventh verse
st. Matthew eleventh, twenty eighth
verse, and thirty-seventh Psalm, fourth
verse. The first verse of the sixtieth
chapter of Isaiah is the one for the
new convert. All who fiatter them
selves with vain boastings of their per-
fectness should learn the sixth chapter
of Matthew. All humanity should
learn the sixth chapter of st. Luke
from the twentieth verse to its ending"
The above is copied from an old docu-
ment. For years part of it has been
seen from time to time, and in every
instance the time and toll indicated
made deep impression. 1t now APP
pears that the Prince of Grenada per-
formed that labor, and it is not prob
able that any other one ever did. 1t
was a result of his thirty-three years
confinement. His reference to Isaiah
sixtieth and first suggests the proba-
bility that he was truly converted to
God while studying the Scriptures.
We rejoice that results of that study,
even though so limited, found their
way out of that dungeon. An old nail
was his pen and rough wall his parch-
ment. With facilities at hand, what
rich thoughts might have been added

the use of its railroads, to afford an out
let for its surplus products at rates
which will enable its producers to COM
pete with the rest of the country. We
hold that it should be the study of the
managers of these roads how to do this
effectively; that it is the duty of the
press and of the public men of the
state to see that this thing is made the
first thing. Why did our people char
ter these roads? To bring in the
products of other states at the lowest
rates, and smother our own business
under the avalanche? The idea is alb
surd. We do not mean to waste time
in charging on such self-evident
fact. We put it before our readers,
and we ask them whether it is not bet
ter-iustead of running away from Yer
mont-to try and give Vermont a
chance to show what she can do if the
railroads she has control of are made
to work for Vermont interests first.
We can let things run as they have
run-or run away ourselves. But the
manly way, the Ethan Allen way, is to
demand what is right, and submit not
a day to any wrong.

The Agricultural College
Short Course.

We believe all our intelligent readers
will hail with joy the evidences of an
earnest purpose in our State Agricul-
tural College to meet in some degree
the just expectations of the public in
the " short course in agriculture, ;" COW
ering two years, and offering a very
good series of studies, such as will give
every student who will apply himself a
fair acquaintance with the scientific
side of our art. The expenses of this
course are very slight, and any en-
ergetic young man can easily make his
way through it by his own exertions.
The privileges of the Experiment Sta
ton, and its agricultural and horticul-
tural work, are open TO these students,
and we believe that no exertion will be
spared by Professor Cooke and his
assistants, or by the authorities of the
college, to make this course of instruc-
ton thorough and practical. We want
to see these exertions properly met,
and we urge upon our mature readers
that they make it a business to spread
knowledge of this opportunity, and
urge as many as possible to avail them
selves of it. IT WILL "PAY!'

We have seen the above paragraph

further enlargement of the idea. Take
Vermont's case: she is now pretty

What do these roads do for the develop

capacity of the state? Nothing at all!
These lines are run with reference to
through business entirely, and gen.
orally at cut-throat rates, such as only
bankrupt, or at least non-dividend
yielding lines, can afford. No doubt
the managers of the roads find ways to
feather their nests; but it can not be

New England have suffered as they dc
not deserve, and in a way they will moi
long submit to, in having their business
interests disregarded by corporations
which they have helped to build up
and from whom they have the right to
require the highest consideration. The
voters of the state hold these corpora
tions and the subsidiary express com
panies in the hollow of their hands, as
the depository of the sovereign power

An Aztec Era.

The period of fifty-two years formed
a complete era for the Aztecs, and they
questioned whether at the end of that
period the great heavenly clock, having
performed its revolution, might not
stop forever This era menaced a con-
siderable number of the population
once in their lives and some of them
perhaps twice. The night on which
the fifty second year would expire was
solemn moment to them and was sig
naized by distinguishing the sacred fires
in the temples and those on private
hearthstones and by breaking all ves-
sells that had contained provisions, and
the evening was passed in darkness,
with trembling and fear. The day was
in November, when the Pleiades would
eliminate at midnight, and this mo-
ment was the termination of the era.
AS the hour appeared the human vic
tim was sacrificed, and the sticks were
rubbed over his still quick body for
striking the fire for his funeral pile and
the inauguration of the new era. Men
were waiting with torches ready to
be lighted with which the new fire
was to be distributed to all the prov
inces. The moment of midnight was
hailed with shouts of joy. The world
had come to an end, and men could
hope that it would last at least through
another era. Those who could not at
tend the public ceremonies watched
kneeling on the roofs of their houses.

the Spaniards, the last human victim
having been sacrificed on the pyramid

first class is not possible in the South
are greatly mistaken. In some respects
the mountain region of the South
(Which covers more territory than all
New England) is an ideal dairy coun-
try-full of springs of the purest water,
covered with fine pasture grasses, and
with mild climate which makes all
the-year-round dairying easy.
WHY, INDEED?-Hoard's Dairyman
asks: "What does farmer want to
sell his cows for, at any fair price, if he
can use them to make twenty and
twenty-fve-cent butter? He would
have to look long for any better in
vestmeut for his money, and if he
wanted to pay debts he had better get
an extension, let the cows earn the
money and have them left for future
earnings" This is true, but at the
same time it is also true that a good
many diaries get much more money for
their products, and that there is a large
class of consumers who are quite sat
isfied to get good, uniform home dairy
butter at fifty per cent higher prices
A MIsTAKE.-The same paper de-
clares that "there is not a more
misleading lot of gush, some of which
amounts to viciousness, thrown off,
than nine-tenths of the stuff, retailed
for the private dairymen, to the effect
that they can make butter for private
customers and make it better than the
factory. There are few who can do
as well, if they have large dairy, and
put factory methods and brains into the
business; otherwise they can't. Once
such men did not have much COMPETE
ton, but now the factory works the pri-
vate customer mine for all it is worth
and puts the balance of its make on
the open market. 1t can agree to fur
nish customer so much, every week
in the year, and has the goods, while
the general dairy farmer can't do that
at profit" Nobody ever wrote in
that style who was sure of his position
The creamery greatly raises the aver
age quality of butter, and gives a mer-
charitable uniformity to it which is a
great advantage to the producer and
the market But the "vicious gush :"
comes from the creamery men who try
to slur out of sight the assured fact that
the best butter, as well as the poorest,
comes from private dairies.

Milk-Cans.

The best cans l have ever used for
setting milk are made to hold three
gallons each. They are thirteen inches
deep, nine inches in diameter and
made of the best of tin. Each can has
wire bail to lift it by and handle
soldered to one side about four inches
from the baton to tilt it for emptyiug
The lid is made ten inches in diameter
Zone inch wider than the CAM and
drops down over it six inches. This is
to leave space for the water to rise
between the can and the lid and seal
the milk air-tight, so that it will be en-
tirely free from atmospheric influences.
II is best to make the top of this lid
conical, with an inch tube at the top
extending up three inches high. This
serves as a handle to lift it by and
enables the air to escape as the lid set
ties down into the water, for this tube
must be open when the lid is dropped
on; then close the tube with a cork.
You will find then, on taking hold of
the tube and trying to lift the lid, that
the suction holds it fast, so that it would
be very difficult to take il off without
first removing the cork. -CorreSpOnd-

The Curfew at Albany.

There is custom in Albany which
has been maintained for two hundred
years which, l presume, isn't known in
any other city of its size in the Union.
The curfew tolls promptly and to the
half-eighth of a second at nine each
night. The city hall tower has a deep
sounding bell, connected by electric
wires with Dudley observatory, and it
strikes a stroke of one at nine O'Clock,
night and morning. All private clocks
and watches are set by it, and it is
curious revelation to the theatrical
companies that visit there to see nearly
everybody in the audience pull out his
or her watch at apparently a precon-
certed moment and look at ii. The eff
feet is very novel. 1t nearly upset
John Mccullough and Mary Anderson
when they played here together some
years ago. Mccullough had just seen
the air-drawn dagger, and he thought
the audience were all going to ring the
chestnut bell on him. The effect is
also very funny in the churches. But
the same bell also tolls the fire alarm,
and by numbers of strokes signals the
district where the fire is. 1t is GUS
tomarv on these occasions for the good
pastors to remark: " If any one feels
called by that warning there will be no
objection to his now Withdrawing, :"
and there have been occasions when a
number did so.-NetO York Star.

REMARKS BY AGRICULTURAL Ed
IToR.-Did our friend Pitkin never
hear the saying, " 1t is the exception
that proves the rule -? 1t is the rule
that Professor Cooke aims to establish,
for that is the important point-the one
we must tie to and depend upon in our
bound to state that this rule, like so
many others, has its exceptions, which
must be taken into account. Feeding
for " butter" has been advocated and
believed in for many years; but if it is
rule that feeding for butter is fallacy,
and that the COW, as rule, has her
regular proportion of butter to the
other elements of her milk, it is i'm
portant to settle this point in the mind
of every dairyman. For the health of
our cows and for our own profit we
must give them a well-balanced ration,
combined so that there shall be no food
wasted, and that all we feed shall be
fed to the best profit. The fact that
in exceptional cases, or at exceptional
times, the proportion of butter in the
milk may be slightly modified 70:
awhile-by excess of grass in the spring
or by excess of grain in winter-is in
teresting, as a fact. But it is not hall
so important as knowledge of the rule
and an assurance that we work against
nature in trying to guide our practice
by the exceptions, instead of the rule
In fact, Mr. Pitkin himself, in the case
of the oat-hay, found the exception tC
be an injury, and instinctively, as il
were, reverted to a more normal anC
better balanced diet for cows, in his
own interest. We do not believe tina
he would think of such thing as t.
take COW whose milk naturally was
poor in butter, and try to make butte
cow of her with oat-hay. And the othel
way is equally failure.

A Cows Milk.

Mr.. Editor! In your issue of July
3 | notice an article entitled "A Cows
Milk" in which you maintain that feed
will not alter the composition of milk,
then quoting from Professor Cooke that
he allows one exception TO this rule {:
When the cows are turned out in the
spring from the dry feed in the barn
to the succulent feed of the young grass
in the pasture there is always an in
crease in the quantity of the milk and
decrease in the quality" Now it
appears to me that that exception covers
the whole question, and admits that food
of succulent nature will increase the
quantity of milk without proportionally
increasing the quality, which is, we think
what farmers believe. Before the ad.
vent of the silo we fed large quantities
of oat-hay, and when confined en-
tirely to dry feed, and this principally
oat-hay, there was such shrinkage in
the milk as to cause difficulty in strain
ing, by reason of little pellets of butter
or cream, in a partially churned state,
gathering on the strainer. Four quarts
of potatoes once day to each COW
would remove the difficulty; roots of
all kinds and very early-cut hay would
remove them. We practiced this for
several years, feeding few potatoes in
the first of the winter to remove these
little pellets of butter in the milk. Now
if feed will not alter the composition of
milk, why did these little pellets so
quickly disappear from the milk?
