From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mill       for grinding corn, mentioned as used in the time of Abraham       (Gen. 18:6). That used by the Hebrews consisted of two circular       stones, each 2 feet in diameter and half a foot thick, the lower       of which was called the "nether millstone" (Job 41:24) and the       upper the "rider." The upper stone was turned round by a stick       fixed in it as a handle. There were then no public mills, and       thus each family required to be provided with a hand-mill. The       corn was ground daily, generally by the women of the house (Isa.       47:1, 2; Matt. 24:41). It was with the upper stone of a       hand-mill that "a certain woman" at Thebez broke Abimelech's       skull (Judg. 9:53, "a piece of a millstone;" literally, "a       millstone rider", i.e., the "runner," the stone which revolves.       Comp. 2 Sam. 11:21). Millstones could not be pledged (Deut.       24:6), as they were necessary in every family.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Millo       (Heb. always with the article, "the" Millo). (1.) Probably the       Canaanite name of some fortification, consisting of walls filled       in with earth and stones, which protected Jerusalem on the north       as its outermost defence. It is always rendered Akra i.e., "the       citadel", in the LXX. It was already existing when David       conquered Jerusalem (2 Sam. 5:9). He extended it to the right       and left, thus completing the defence of the city. It was       rebuilt by Solomon (1 Kings 9:15, 24; 11:27) and repaired by       Hezekiah (2 Chr. 32:5).                (2.) In Judg. 9:6, 20 it is the name of a rampart in Shechem,       probably the "tower of Shechem" (9:46, 49).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mole       Heb. tinshameth (Lev. 11:30), probably signifies some species of       lizard (rendered in R.V., "chameleon"). In Lev. 11:18, Deut.       14:16, it is rendered, in Authorized Version, "swan" (R.V.,       "horned owl").                The Heb. holed (Lev. 11:29), rendered "weasel," was probably       the mole-rat. The true mole (Talpa Europoea) is not found in       Palestine. The mole-rat (Spalax typhlus) "is twice the size of       our mole, with no external eyes, and with only faint traces       within of the rudimentary organ; no apparent ears, but, like the       mole, with great internal organs of hearing; a strong, bare       snout, and with large gnawing teeth; its colour a pale slate;       its feet short, and provided with strong nails; its tail only       rudimentary."                In Isa. 2:20, this word is the rendering of two words _haphar       peroth_, which are rendered by Gesenius "into the digging of       rats", i.e., rats' holes. But these two Hebrew words ought       probably to be combined into one (lahporperoth) and translated       "to the moles", i.e., the rat-moles. This animal "lives in       underground communities, making large subterranean chambers for       its young and for storehouses, with many runs connected with       them, and is decidedly partial to the loose debris among ruins       and stone-heaps, where it can form its chambers with least       trouble."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mule       (Heb. pered), so called from the quick step of the animal or its       power of carrying loads. It is not probable that the Hebrews       bred mules, as this was strictly forbidden in the law (Lev.       19:19), although their use was not forbidden. We find them in       common use even by kings and nobles (2 Sam. 18:9; 1 Kings 1:33;       2 Kings 5:17; Ps. 32:9). They are not mentioned, however, till       the time of David, for the word rendered "mules" (R.V.       correctly, "hot springs") in Gen. 36:24 (yemim) properly denotes       the warm springs of Callirhoe, on the eastern shore of the Dead       Sea. In David's reign they became very common (2 Sam. 13:29; 1       Kings 10:25).                Mules are not mentioned in the New Testament. Perhaps they had       by that time ceased to be used in Palestine.

The economy is predominately agricultural, with about 90%    of the population living in rural areas. Agriculture accounts for 40%    of GDP and 90% of export revenues. After two years of weak    performance, economic growth improved significantly in 1988-91 as a    result of good weather and a broadly based economic adjustment effort    by the government. Drought cut overall output sharply in 1992, but the    lost ground was recovered in 1993. The economy depends on substantial    inflows of economic assistance from the IMF, the World Bank, and    individual donor nations.

Economic activity is largely    confined to the riverine area irrigated by the Niger. About 10% of the    population is nomadic and some 80% of the labor force is engaged in    agriculture and fishing. Industrial activity is concentrated on    processing farm commodities. The economy is beginning to turn around    after contracting through 1992-93, largely because of enhanced exports    and import substitute production in the wake of the 50% devaluation of    January 1994. Post-devaluation inflation appears to have peaked at 35%    in 1994 and the government appears to be keeping on track with its IMF    structural adjustment program.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $5.4 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 2.4% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $600 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 35% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $376 million    expenditures: $697 million, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1992 est.)       Exports: $415 million (f.o.b., 1993)    commodities: cotton, livestock, gold    partners: mostly franc zone and Western Europe       Imports: $842 million (f.o.b., 1993)    commodities: machinery and equipment, foodstuffs, construction    materials, petroleum, textiles    partners: mostly franc zone and Western Europe       External debt: $2.6 billion (1991 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate -1.4% (1992 est.); accounts for    13.0% of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 90,000 kW    production: 310 million kWh    consumption per capita: 33 kWh (1993)       Industries: minor local consumer goods production and food processing,    construction, phosphate and gold mining       Agriculture: accounts for 50% of GDP; mostly subsistence farming;    cotton and livestock products account for over 70% of exports; other    crops - millet, rice, corn, vegetables, peanuts; livestock - cattle,    sheep, goats       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $349 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $3.02 billion; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $92 million;    Communist countries (1970-89), $190 million       Currency: 1 CFA franc (CFAF) = 100 centimes       Exchange rates: Communaute Financiere Africaine francs (CFAF) per US$1    - 529.43 (January 1995), 555.20 (1994), 283.16 (1993), 264.69 (1992),    282.11 (1991), 272.26 (1990)    note: beginning 12 January 1994, the CFA franc was devalued to CFAF    100 per French franc from CFAF 50 at which it had been fixed since    1948       Fiscal year: calendar year       Mali:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 642 km; note - linked to Senegal's rail system through Kayes    narrow gauge: 642 km 1.000-m gauge       Highways:    total: 15,700 km    paved: 1,670 km    unpaved: gravel, improved earth 3,670 km; unimproved earth 10,360 km       Inland waterways: 1,815 km navigable       Ports: Koulikoro       Airports:    total: 33    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 4    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 1    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2    with paved runways under 914 m: 10    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 3    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 12       Mali:Communications       Telephone system: 11,000 telephones; domestic system poor but    improving; provides only minimal service    local: NA    intercity: microwave radio relay, wire, and radio communications    stations; expansion of microwave radio relay in progress    international: 2 INTELSAT (1 Atlantic Ocean and 1 Indian Ocean) earth    stations       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 2, FM 2, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 2    televisions: NA       Mali:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Air Force, Gendarmerie, Republican Guard, National    Guard, National Police (Surete Nationale)       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 1,861,977; males fit for    military service 1,062,916 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $66 million, 2.2% of    GDP (1994)
