millions between September and May,
when these little creatures are at their
best.
In great cities of Europe are stores

out delay you should not take anything

In the Cottonian library in England
is an old manuscript copy of a part of

minister by Edward l. In other words,
the use of this Bible for the purpose

full, to have been made about the end
of the ninth century.
The Testament escaped destruction
in the fire at Ashburnham House in

Bible and presented it to the church
of Dover.-Philadelph Record.

the country contains ten times rs many

Benares is the great center Of the

Potters the DAY through may be seen
IN the sacred city molding images Of
clay for temporary use. Sculptors also
may be found producing representa-
tives of the gods IN stone or marble.
Carpenters, moreover, make great
wooden idols for the temples. and
workers in metal-gOldsmirhs copper
