Spelling a Good Fight.

A recent sermon of the Rev. 7. De
Witt Talmage has this glowing passage !:
When Cromwell's army went into bat
tie he stood at the head of them one
day, and gave out the long-meter dox-
ology to the tune of cold Hundred" ]"
and that great host, company by COM
pany, regiment by regiment, battalion
by battalion, joined in the doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him, all creatures here below:
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
And while they sang they marched,
and while marched they fought, and
while they fought they got the victory.
1t seems pity to destroy "a good
story, but chronology is very despotic.
Oliver Cromwell died in 1868. Bishop
Ken, who has always been credited
with this grand doxology, was born in
1887, and was then, therefore, only 21
years old. Hymnologists gives 1897 as
the year in which Bishop Ken wrote the
doxology as the last verse of his morn
ing and evening hymns. This would
place the composition about half CEN
tury after Cromwell's last battle in the
civil war, and some forty years after his
eath.-lChristian Enquirer.

1t Rides on a Locomotive and Bathes
in the Tank.
"Doc" Bair, who handles Southern
Pacific engine No. 261, while between
Tehachapi and Bakersfield few days
ago, noted very peculiar incident. AS
the engine was rattling along big NAL
lard duck was seen flying close to the
tender; it kept this position for several
miles, and Doc and his fireman INDUCED
in much speculation as to what was the
meaning OF its peculiar action.
81 believe that bird wants water" at
last said Doc to the fireman; "get over
there and open the manhole to the
tank" The fireman did so, disclosing
the water in the tank on the tender, a
matter the duck quickly took cogni-
zance of, for it dove into the tank and
swooped up its bill full OF water and let
it trickle down it's parched throat for
several minutes. 1t then dove and
splashed, and had regular frolic in its
big bath tub, and gave itself thorough
pluming. When it had completely re-
freshed itself, it floated quietly for a
short time, and then flew away.
How did that duck know that there
was water in the tank?

DIR. Deems on the Modern Novel.

'In what light do you regard the mod
ern novel?' was recently asked DR..
Deems, pastor of the Church Of the
Strangers, in New York.
Il am hardly prepared to answer, be-
cause it is such a multiform question.
There are novels and novels, and some of
them are better than some preaching. and
some of them are worse than some ours
ing. Take it all together, so far as 1
have been able to perceive, there has been
a steady advance and improvement in the
department Of fictitious writing, and 1
think the promise is that this branch Of
literature is TO become purer and better
continually. When the Christian minis
ter remembers that the dlScourses OF his
Lord and Master, with all their sparkle
and splendor, are the most exquisite and
inimitabls novelties, he can hardly find
fault with those disciples Of the master
who write such books as 'Ben-Hur, and
the stories of George Macdonald. of the
Misses Warner or Mrs Amelia E. Barr
and others, nor can he find fundamental
objection to the employment Of that
style in calculating archaeological and
philosophical principles"

Four IeaVed Glover,

This plant derived its significance from
the fact that its four leaves are arranged
in the form of a cross. Moreover, its COM
parative rarity and its very abnormality Of
may so express it, made it seem notewor-
thy or remarkable. If person shall wear
bit of this plant he can detect the pres
ence of evil spirits. 1t also brings good
fortune.
With four leaved clover, a double leaved ash
and a green topped seave [rushl,
You may go before the queens daughter with
out asking her leave.
A two leaved clover enables a maid to
pee her future lover. The four leaved grass
(true love, one berry, herb paris, or Loop
ards bane) is another mystical cross leaved
plant concerning which much might be
said. The quaint st. Andrews cross Gas
cyrum crux-Andrea) is very interesting
plant of our own country, with crosslike
flowers. Strangely enough, it appears to
have no folk lore attached TO it.

The Curfew Bell.

For many a century there has been rung
IN the ancient city of Sandwich, the old
Cirque port of Kent, the curfew bell,
which marked at one period so distinctive
a feature of English life. The Church of
st. Peter has maintained this custom up
TO the present day, but adverse fortune
now threatens TO eXtinguish this honored
relic of past ages. A Sandwich paper says
that relations are somewhat strained be-
tween the rector and the sexton of St.
Peters, and as the fund from which the
latter was paid is now claimed by the
churchwardens the sexton is consequently
in the dilemma of having time honored
office without any salary. At the Easter
vestry his reelection was mooted, and he
thought it very hard, and naturally, too,
that he should have TO work nothing.
He inquired if in the event of giving
up the Office the rector would power
to prevent him from carrying out his duties
as ringer of the curfew bell, but no one
could inform him.

That Is to Say, viii 0Ir. Maxim's "Ari-

Mr.. Hiram S Maxim, the eninently
practical improver Of firearms and head
of the gunmaking firm of Maxim * Nor
denfelt, is positive he has invented fly
ing machine and viii soon have it in
successful operation. he declares that
he can bring it to a speed of 100 miles
per hour, transport passengers and light
freight over land and sea, and revolution
ize warfare by dropping bombs Of dy-
Mantle on the enemy. In short be has
got up war kite.
May be he has and may be he hasn't,
but his argument is at any rate ingenious
and interesting He begins with the
paradox which has puzzled so many nat
uralists, that the larger bird is as a
rule the smaller is its sweep OF wing in
proportion. Thus, If the condor had
wings proportional TO those of the hum
ming bird they would measure some
sixty feet from ZIP TO tip. Even the
wild goose would have sweeo OF ten or
