TO READ Bi5LG THROUGH.
Eight Months is Estimated as the
Necessary Time


Did you ever figure out how long
1t would take you to read the Bible?"
asked an observant man. well, you
would be surprised to know in what
short space of time you could finish
the last chapter of the Holy Book.
or course there are different ways of
reading.
There are in the Old and New Tes-
taments combined total of sixty.six
books. containing 1,1S9 chapters, a.
173 verses, and total of 773,692
words. approximately. The Old Tes-
lament contains thirty-nine books,
929 chapters, 23,214 verses. and APP
proximately 592,239 words, while in
the New Testament there are twenty
seven books, 260 chapters, 1850
verses, and 1858 words approx
mately. Adding these together. we
get the total given. How long will 1t
take person to read the Old Tesla
ment, with its 500, 2S0 words, or the
1Sl ,253 words of the New Testament?
And how long to read the 1859
words of both? A man can read un-
derstandingly 100 words, every min
ute. BY hurrylng a man can read 100
WORDS, or probably more. | will as

at least sixty words a minute. That
Is slow reading, being only $500
words an hour. Suppose man should
devote an hour a day to the Bible.
AT this rate he would read 10000
words in thirty days, or in n months
time. At this rate he would read the
Old Testament In less than six
months, and he could finish the New
Testament in less than two months"

% al Easy Thing to Satisfy Royal
Sitter.
4 well-Fnown New York artist. who
as just returned from an extended
quincy in the Far East tells how he
attempted to paint the portrait OF a
alive prince in Corea:
For more than three hours the
prince sat motionless and without a
word, like a statue. 1T is finished,
told him at last, and he jumped up
like child and ran over to see the
work. His delight was "'''"-ded.
and he seized my hand and began to
shake 1t in a most enthusiastic man
ner.
Suddenly he became grave and
stared at the picture in mystified
way. He looked and looked and then
peered around at the back of the
canvas. He seemed Mortified beyond
expression.
What is it?" inquired.
"'You have not put in my jade or
nament,' said he in despair.
81 had painted his portrait full
face, and as the Coreans have the
strange habit of putting small but.
tons of gold. silver. jade or amber
behind the left ear these, of course
did 10. appear
"My explanations did rot satisfy
the prince, so / did rapid sketch OF
him in profile, bringing il the jade
ornament.
THAT is al! very well, said he;
but now where is the other eyer"

DANGER OF TROUBLE IN COAL
MINES PASSES.
DIFFERENCES ARE ADJUSTED.
AmicabIe Settlement Arrived at Be.
tween Operators and Opera
tives-conferenc Ends Here.

Unless some unforeseen circum-
stances arise to cause suspension Of
operations or some other cause con-
tributes to curtailment Of the out
put, no fears need be entertained as
regards local coal famine and con-
sequent increase in price of the COM
modify to consumers. The talk of q
strike in the mines at Red Lodge and
elsewhere in this part of the state
has ceased to be heard, and no mat
ter what may have been the likeli-
hood of walkout last week, all dan
ger of such an eventuality has pass
ed, for year at least.
Tuesday afternoon Witnessed the
end of the conference that has been
held between the officials Of the coal
mining companies and representatives
of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
ica which began at Helena last Sat
,urday and which practically came to
a conclusion in this city, as far as
the mines of Carbon county are con-
cerned. On that day H. ]. Horn, gen.
eral manager of the Northwestern Inn
provement company, subsidiary or
ganization of the Northern Pacific
Railway company, and several mem.
bers of the Red Lodge union, to-
gether with Mr.. Burke, the personal
representative of President Mitchell
of the national body, arrived in Bill
ings from..4Red Lodge, accompanied
by Superintendent Hough of the
Bridger mines.
They were seen by Gazette repor-
ter, but declined to say more than
that an amicable adjustment OF all
points in discussion had been arrived
at and there would be no strike. This
is all that could be slearned from
any, none being inclined to talk. The
fact that the gentlemen left the same
night for their respective homes, and
all on the best possible terms may
be accepted as evidence of the friend-
/ ly relations existing between them
and the successful termination Of
their meeting.

Singer Sues for Five Teeth.
Of the London Telegraph.

Correspondence OF the LONDON Telegraph
A black-eyed Servian diva of comic opera
celebrity recently braved the risks of
long railway journey in order to give the
cars subjects in Arpenia an opportunity
of stdmiring her melodious voice, her grace
full movements. and her uncommon charms.
The dangers of a journey in trans-Cau-
casia are by no means imaginary, for, be-

railways are not among the safest means
of locomotion. Anyhow, the particular
train in which this favored lady travelled
slipped of the rails, whereupon the car
riages were rudely shaken and the passen-
gers jostled about with the luggage. The
Servian diva was struck on the mouth by
a box and had five of her front teeth ex-
tracted on the spot. Otherwise" say the
authorities, "she suffered no incOnven-
ience." AS soon as the lady recovered
from the shock she asked for compensation.

Photographs taken by rays of light in

from the human being recall the state
ments of the ancients regarding julius
Caesar and other men who impressed their
fellows as a triie supernatural in their
genius, namely, that fine halo of lambert
flames played about their heads. Usually
1t was in the cradle that this phenomenon
occurred, and as the story was circulated
after the renowned conqueror had done his
work. the skeptics of succeeding ages laid
it to the fond imaginings of nurses or
mothers, or boldly averred that such tales
emanated from the brilliant imaginations
of sycophants.
The saints also not to speak of boiler
persons, were not represented with halos
merely because these are convenient signs
of supernatural power. but because there
was In Christianity In Buddhism and in
the pagan religions a widespread belief that
such persons did in good sooth betray to
the eyes of the elect their divine essence

flame about their heads
