Reading the Bible.

How long will it take person to
read the Old Testament, with it's $685.
439 words, or the 1S1 ,253 words of the
New Testament? And how long to
read the 773, 692 words of both?
A man can read understandingly 100
words every minute. By hurrying a
man can read 160 words, or probably
more. I will assume that man can
read critically-that is, carefully and
understandingly-at least sixty words
minute. That is slow reading, being
only 5000 words an hour. Suppose a
man should devote an hour a day to
the Bible.
At this rate he would read 10000
words in thirty days, or in a months
time. He would therefore read the
Old Testament in less than six months,
and he would finish the New Tesla
ment in less than two months.

Southern Europe.

A traveller writes: 81 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 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
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.''

The earliest reference to shaving OF
the beard is found in Genesis XII, IA,
where we read that Joseph on being
summoned before the king shaved
himself. There are several references
as to shaving in Leviticus, and the
practice is alluded to in many other
parts of the Bible. However, Egypt
Is the only country mentioned in the
Bible where shaving was practiced
In all other countries at that time
such an act would have been consid-

tons that the Egyptians allowed their
boards to grow when they were in
mourning. So particular were they as
to shaving at all other times that to
have neglected it was to make one
self the butt of coarse and ridiculous
jokes.
Even in this day and age when the
Egyptian wants to convey the idea
of man of low condition and sloven-
ly habits he always pictures to you
a man with full beard. This notion
is very ancient. a fact attested by
works of art found in burial monu-
ments dating back thousands of years.
