Reading the Bible.

How long will it take person to
read the Old Testament, with it's 592,-
439 words, or the 49, words of the
New Testament? And how long to
read the 773, 692 words of both?
A man can read Understandings 100
words every minute. By hurrying a
man can read 16O words, or probably
more. | will assume that man can
read critically-that is, carefully and
understandingly-at least sixty words
a minute That is slow reading, being
only 5000 words an hour. Suppose a
man should devote an hour a day to
the Bible. s ..
At this rate he would read 5000
words in thirty days, or in months
time. He would therefore read the
Old Testament in less than six months,
and he would finish the New Testa-
ment in less than two months.

Southern Eur0De.

A traveller writes: Il have often been
struck by the ease with which people
in southern Europe are amused. In
Paris 100000 people go out to Long
champs for the Grand Prix race, and
half a million people go out and line
the roads on their return to see them
come back. In Rome at the feast of the
''Divino Amore'' 5000 people go out on
the Campagna to a spot where once
stood temple to Venus and hold a
picnic, while $4,000 go out and line the
Appian way to see them return. In
Madrid this popularity is even more
marked. On the Puerta del Sol about a
thousand people stand around and do
nothing outdoors, while crowds of peo-
pie sit indoors or lean from balconies to
watch them do it, And in Seville the
idle rich sit in clubs and cafes on the
Sierpes to watch the lower classes walk
by, while the lower classes walk by to
watch the idle rich sitting in the clubs
and cafes on the Sierpes."
