MILLIONS OF BIBLES.
The Holy Book Has Been Printed in
$40 Languages

From the Toronto lOnt.) Mail and Empire
To show its appreciation of the part be-
ing taken by Canada in the celebration Of
the centenary of the British and Foreign
Bible Society, three of its abest and most
eloquent supporters are in Canada as spe-
cial delegates. They are the Venerable
Archdeacon Madden of Liverpool, the Rev.
tive in China, and Sir Algernon Coote pre-
mier baronet of Ireland and one of the So
ciety's vice presidents.
Sunday evening Archdeacon Madden spoke
in the Church of the Epiphany, saying
that the Bible Society during the hundred
years of its existence had distributed
throughout the world 1S00000o0 Bibles,
printed in $40 different languages. Last
year it gave out 6,O00,000 Bibles and por-
tions of Bibles. The enormous work OF
this society was apparent when ii was
known that Il century ago only 4HoWo
copies of the book were in existence Now
there are 2O0,0O0,0oo copies of it in the
world
The Rev. G. II. Bondfield spoke at the
Metropolitan Church and at Westminster
Presbyterian Church. Among the signif-
cant facts he presented was that notwith-
standing the $40 languages in which the
Bible is circulated, thele are III India ln2
languages into which no part of the Scrip
lures has been translated. In the south
seas, out of 121 languages the Bible has
been translated into only IL of them. Sim
liar conditions We're true of China, South
America, where there are 300 Indian dia-
lccts and of other portions of the world.

MILLIONS FOR GOAT SKINS.
A New Industry Offering Itself to Our
Farmers
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
A new industry is offering itself to the
farmers and manufacturers of the United
States. The facts that S2J000,0O0 worth or
goatskins are now annually imported into
the United States and that our enterpris.ng
manufacturers are now obliged TO send
halfway around the world for a large
share of them suggest that the farmers Of
this country have a great opportunity TO
put a large share of this sum into their own
pockets and that the entire sum may ne
divided between our producers and manu-
facturers Importations of goatskins into
the United States now amount TO about
$50 600 900 per annunl. and n large snare Il
these are brought from India. China. Arabia
and southeasUerD Russia. The increas ng
popularity of certain classes of kid leather
for footwear as well as gloves, has greatly
increased the demand for goa tskins in the
United States WiShin recent years. In 1879
the value of goatskins imported was about
81 OG0 900: by 1880 it had grown to S,VO,oo;
by 1898 it was S15,GW,eb0; in 1900 1t was
SD 600 900 and in 1868, in round numbers,
So, 0o0, 600
The farmers of the United States are ap-
parently making no effort to reap any part
of this golden harvest for themselves. The
census of 1909 showed the total number of
goats in the United States to be less than
two millions, and when ii is understood That
the skins of probably twenty million goats
were required to make the S2oODD,Uo worth
imported last year. il can be seen that the
sllpplv from the United States could have
formed but a small share of the total con-
sumption. Yet the fact that a large share
of our supply of this important import
comes from India, China, france ana heA
leo suggests that there are large areas IN
the United States which might produce
goats successfully and in sufficiently large
numbers to supply the entire home demand

FOOT IN HIS MOUTH.
Strange Performance Of a Philadelphia
Police Squad Horse.

From the Philadelphia North American
Every member of the police department
and everybody else in the city who ad-
mired Duke, the pride of the mounted
squad, will be sorry to learn that he is
suffering from swelled head Duke was
always a proud animal, and when the po-
lice were on parade and he led the process
sion with the bugler on his back he was
the very embodiment of equine conceit.
Not horse in the department could prance
and curvet like he Alas. to see Linn now!
The Duke was taken to the hospital ward
of the department stables, 18th and
Wharton streets. yesterday morning. The
diagnosis of Mike Bendon, the assistant
superintendent of the stable. was "swelled
head He looks it. Duke had actually put
his foot into his mouth.
How it he did 1t no one knows. He got to
paving too industriously in his stall at
the Tacony district station stable, and his
left hoof got lodged in his mouth. He
couldn't get it out, owing to the frog on
the shoe catching in his teeth and no one
at the Tacony station was equal to the
emergency.
The animals head was swollen badly
when he was found lying in his STALL and
he had to be placed in the horse ambu-
lance and brought across town to the van
stables. There Bendon, with the assist
ance of couple of attendants, pried open
Dukes mouth and extracted the hoof.
The beautiful charger stood last night
with dropping head, his nose looking like
the upper lip of a hippopotamus. Duke is
almost white, but is really a gray gelding.
He is expected to recover from his swelled
head in week or So and probably will be
as fine as ever. Bendon said 1t was the
first case of the kind he had ever seen.

GuilIotine in Sweden.
From Golden Penny.


Who would have supposed during the
Reign of Terror that day would come
when the guillotine would be used Tor
laudable purpose? Yet this has just nap
pened in Sweden, for a guillotine has been
erected in the market place at Gothen-
burg, where it is used daily for the purpose
of decapitating chickens, ducks and other
domestic animals. The local Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Is re-
sponsible for this novel step. Animals, 1t
claims may legtimately be used as food.
but there is no reason why they should suf-
fer while dy. ng, and the surest way to
avoid such suffering is to employ a guillo-
tine as an instrument of death.
