Training TO speak.

Bishop Wflberf0Fce was noted for
the variety of his speeches and SER
mons. even when they all treated OF
the same subject His addresses at
confirmation and at missionary meet
ings were remarkable for their varia-
tiOns on the same themes A friend
who had heard him speak. day after
day for several weeks. in behalf of
the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel, expressed his surprise
that he could treat the same subject
in such variety of ways. The elO-
Quent preacher replied:
Il owe my facility mainly to my
father. He t OK pains to form in
me the habit of speaking. He would
see to it that I thoroughly acquainted
myself with given subject, and then
re 4uire me to speak on it, without
notes, and trusting to the inspiration
of the moment for suitable words.
This pracJice strengthened my men,
ory and cultivated the power OF
mentally arranging and dividing q
subject"
The Earl of Chatham trained his
son, William Pitt. IN a similar way.
Pitt was the familiar friend OF Will
lam Wilberforce, the philanthropisL,
and the father of the bishop Doubt
less he learned from Pitt this method
of cultivatinR the faculty of think
ing and speaking on ones legs.

Mere than 100000 Men Perishsd it the
Civil War Atone.

Mere than 100000 Men Perished - the
Civil War Alone
1t cost Uncle Sam over a million
men to place the American flag n
the proud position it occupies to-day
among the nations II the earth. In
the war OF the Revolution 542 sea-
men OF the regular navy were killed
in battle, while a considerably larger
number were killed In the privateers
that played such an important Fart
in that struggle. or the 542 sea-
men killed, al perished when the
United states % gun frigate RAN
dOlph, Capt. Nicholas BIddle. was
blown up by a shot from the British
74-Run ship Of the line Yarmouth,
March Z, 1878, which Biddle had
heroicallY attacked In order that bis
valuable convoy OF seven vessels
might escape. About the same num-
Der Of soldiers were killed in the
land battles, but this does not in
clude the 8, 500 Americans who died
ia the British prison ships In Walla-
bout Bay. In all II, 600 men per
ished in these ships, but about ] 500
of them were French sailors captured
near the American coast The total
number OF Americans who lost theif
lives in the Revolution Is about H.
600. In the wars with France and
Tripoli. 1913 to 1905, about ls5
Americans were killed. This does not
include the mum her who died IN the
French dungeons at Guadeloupe or
in the slave pens at Tripol OF whom
no accurate estima te can be made
In the war Of 1912, 734 men were
killed in sea fights in which the reg
ular government cruisers we're en-
gagged. But this does not include
"a NJ no nv a al hn
sloOp OF war Wasp laundering at sea
with all hands 13Sl on board.
Neither does tn 8 include the loss in
American privatee. which was
nearly equal to that sustained by the
navy. The number killed ia land
battles was about 45O, so that the
total loss in the war Of 1912 is about
2. 900 men. In the war with AlRiers,
1915, Mexico 1876 to 184s, and IN
the minor conflicts between 1915 and
1860 about !, 600 men we're killed ia
battle
But the greatest losses. Of course,
were in the Civil War, where brother
was arrayed against brother. ProOa-
bly, not more than 800. coo men OF
the North effectively participated Ia
suppressinR the Rebellion or these
81, 900 were killed in battle and 3d.
600 died Of wounds in hospitals,
while / 81, 600 died from disease con-
tracted in the army. No accurate
estimate Of the losses sustained b9
the Southerne has been made, but
it is probable that they were fully
equal to those sustained by tbe
Northerners. bringing the total TO
about 600, 900. Adding 20 this num-
Der the 400, 900 who were perma-
nently disabled by disease or crippled
by wounds we have the appalling az
gregate OF a million men lost Ia that
strife. or the 22O, 600 Con federates
who were made prisoners during the
war 81, AGO died OF wounds or disease
during their captivity. or the
Unionists about 200, 600 were made
prisoners. of whom 40, 600 died in
prison. From these figures IL will be
seen that Memorial Day is in honor
OF over a million men who have given
up their lives or lin bs in the defense

clenched hands, leaned against the
now useless mower. and looked
straight at US while we led the horses
away, while tears cut burrows in the
dirt on his face. The little ones of
the sandpile also began to under
stand what was going on, and bowled

we had driven over the prairie for

Hunting Foxes with Dynamite

A fox hunt with dynamite was the
novel sport OF farmers near FONT
Pleasant, Bucks County, a few DAYS
ago. For long time the farmers
had suffered from the incursions of
some adroit thief upon their poultry
reserves The therTs were SO daring,
yet mysterious. that it was decided
to set a watch. So when John SWope
heard a racket in his hennery he ran
out He was just In time to see a
big fox, with a nice fat pullet in his
mouth, scamper away. The alarm
was spread, and a number OF Farmer
Swope's neighbors assisted him In
tracking the fox They trailed him
to his den, under a huge rock, and
were then confirm ted with the prob
lem of routing him. They got some
dynamite, fred it. and in a few min
utes out came, not one but four
foxes half stunned aud blinded.
The animals were killed as fast as
they appeared. ana then the den was
walled up -PbiladeIp hia Record
