PRAYEp REEoRE EIoHTINo.
Famous Generals Invoked the Divine
Blessing Upon TheIr Efforts

(From New York Herald.)
The menace of war, just now so vio-
lent, brings to mind the devotional
side of some historical belligerents-
The pagans were wont always to make
sacrifices to their gods before entering
on the battle, and Christians have ini-
tated them in appealing to the Divine
support. One of the earliest records
in history of a prayer before battle is
that of Chflderic, King of Gaul, pagan,
who before going into battle at Zuel-
pich, some 400 years after Christ,
prayed to the God of the Christians
to help him to victory. His foe was
Attila, King of the Huns, and Childeric
vowed if God would give him the vic
tory he would embrace the Christian
faith.
King Gustavus Adolphus Of Sweden
in the thirty years war knelt on the
battlefield of Luetzen Q632) before the
beginning of the conflict. The prayer
of Hungarian officer, before one of
the battles fought for the independence
OF Hungary in 1849 was as follows: Il
will not ask thee, Lord, to help US, and
1 know thou wilt not help the Aus
TRANS; but If thou wilt sit on yonder
hill thou shalt not be ashamed Of thy
children" This was the prayer Of the
Fighting Bishop" Leslie before one OF
the battles fought in Ireland: 20 God.
for our unworthiness we are not ut
to claim thy help; but if we are bad,
our enemies are worse, and If thou seest
not meet to help us, we pray thee help
them not, but stand thou neuter on this
day. and leave it to the arm of the
f1esh''
The one offered before the battle of
Edge Hill by Sir Jacob Ashley was:
Thou knowest, o Lord, that 1 shall
be very busy this day and if forget
thee, forget thee not me-" and then
the command followed, March on,
boys" As King Edward advanced with
his columns to Bannockburn, he re-
marked to his aids, seeing the Scotch
on their knees: "See, they kneel. The
rebels are asking pardon" D'Umphra-
Vile was heard to remark, Eyes, but
1t is to the King of Kings. These men
conquer die on this field"
Oliver Cromwell had public prayers
before going to battle on several &C.
casions, as, for instance, previous to
the battle of Dunbar. 1t is a curious
fact that the English prayer book con-
tains prayers, or at least one prayer.

The G. A. r. has had a good deal of
trouble in getting a rate such as it has
been used to to the annual meeting at Be-

that the same will be the case in regard
to the big reunion next fall.
A deal of correspondence has been
issued regarding the subject but the pas

very little trouble in getting a straight

ton they have taken as regards rates to

they have SO readily granted gam

Vests now occupy an important place in
the wardrobe. They are made of different
color and material from that of the gown
and are adorned with valuable buttons,
either large or small. They have jabot,
or cravat, or they may be closed by high,
plain collar which allows the addition Of
another collar of square tabs or two large
points.
Many knots and bows are employed to
decorate both bodices and skirts. These
latter show no change of form, but more
trimming is permitted. They may open
on one or both sides to display panel of
embroidery or accordion plated mousse
line de sole. Flat skirt trimming is by far
tho most worn, passementerie, embroidery,
motifs in lace, beaded galloons and diverse
insertions being all used. Small straps
and tabs are also frequently seen and serve
as an excuse for the presence of buttons.
Flowers are the fashion of the day. Not
only do they adorn ball and dinner gowns,
but are seen on demitoilets and high cor
sages. They are placed upon one shoulder
or at the belt and are often mingled with
coques of ribbon. This fashion promises
to increase in favor as warm weather ap-

HOW A SHIP is STOPPED.
Not as Easy a Matter as It Appears 70
LAndsnanns

Not as Easy a Matter as It Appears to
Landsmnn.
The motion of a steamship on the
Atlantic when the sea is calm is so
smooth and steady that the passenger
hardly realizes the tremendous mo-
mentum of the vessel under his feet
After the engines have been slowed
down there is a startling revelation Of
the energy of motion This energy can
also be accurately calculated with the
aid of mathematical formulas, and the
time and distance within which the
motion can be totally arrested and the
ship be brought to a stand may be as
certained in a similar manner. This
calculation has recently been made
for several weN-kp JTa ships.
To stop the Etruria, whose "dtsplace-
ment'' is $3.50 tons, horse power A. 21,
and speed 20.18 knots an hour, two min
,1tes and forty-seven seconds are re-
ouired. and during the progress Of stop
ping the ship will forge ahead 2,464
feet, which is only IFS feet less than
half a mile. The United States cruiser
Colum bia, with displacement of Z, $50
tons, II, 991 horse power and speed of
22.S knots, can be stopped in two min
utes and fifteen seconds, and within a
space of 2,147 feet. The little flyer
Cushing, also of the United States navy.
whose displacement Is only los tons
and horse power 1,754, while its speed
is 2z.4S knots, can be stopped within
a distance of 3c1 feet in 1874 seconds
In each case the vessel is supposed to be
going at full speed, and the stoppage
is produced by reversing the action Of
the propening machinery.-Youth's
