PRAYERS ssFoRe BATTLE.
Curious Iuvooations by Famous Historical
Personarca.

One Of the earliest records In history
Of a prayer before battle il that Of Chill
deric, king Of Ganl. pagan. who before
going into battle at Zuelpich, some 400
years after Christ, prayed to the God Of
the Christians 70 help him 10 victory.
His foe was Attila, king Of the Huns,
and Childeric vowed II God would give
him the victory be would embrace the
Christian faith.
The prayer Of a Hungarian officer be-
fore one Of the battles fought for the in
dependence Of Hungary in ls49 was as
follows; II will not ask thee, Lord. 10
help Us, and know thou wilt not help
the AustTians. but II 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 30
God, for our unworthiness we are not III
to claim thy help. bat II we are bad
our enemies are worse, and II thou soesi
not meet to help us we pray thee help
them not. but stand thou nouter ON this
day and leave II 20 the arm Of the flesh. "
The one offered before the battle Of
Edgehill by Sir Jacob Ashley was
Thou knowest. o Lord. that | shall b.

KILLINGS BY WHOLESALE.

-Four Thousand Murders a Year In Italy.
Most Violent Of civilized Countries.
A homicide occurs every two hours In
Italy. This was one Of tho many star
Ting statements made by Baron Caro-
falo, distinguished Italian criminol-
ogist, In lecture delivered ON Grim
inaliiy in Relation TO the Education Of
the People" In the Roman college His
audience included Queen Margherita
In Italy the annual loss Of life by
homicide usually by lethal woaponsl
numbers about 1000 souls Compared
with France, Tor instance she has 10
homicides a year for Frances /, and
80 for Donmark's /. The Latin popu-
lations. indeed, in both hemispheres
have a bad pre.eminence over the Teu-
tonic IN crime generally, and Of these
Latin populations the Italian is the
worst.
Baron Garoialo proceeded 10 give the
reasons why. In the FIRST place. vondetta,
which In Greece was heroism and IN
medimval Europe n laudahle custom.
has fingered longer in Italy than In any
other country; dueling. also, IL more
frequent in Italy than elsewhere. To the
religious instruction given In Great
Britain and the United States Of Amer
lea be attributed the fact that these
countries have In 40 years diminished
by one-half the annual proportion Of
their delinquents and mendicants, while
In Italy the want Of similar instruction
has resulted In the positive increase Of
delinquency and mendicancy since 1852.
When 20 these considerations we add the
increased hardness Of living in the young
kingdom, the strain put upon the moral
resisting power by crushing poverty,
the squalid dwellings, the defective ali.
nentation. by which the brain Is starved.

timulants in which relief from misery

The GecEo.
The gecko is an odd little creature.
His name is seldom heard, and his
form is seldom seen, for he lives in
warmer climates than this. His
home is in Africa and the southern
countries of Europe.
This little gecko has so many
strange ways and there is something
SO uncanny in his appearance that
the people of the countries where
he lives are rather afraid of him, be.
lioving his bite to be poisonous, al
though this is denied by n~aturalists
He is little creature, with a broad,
fat head, like a snake, and a long
body, with a narrow tail. with ODD
shaped bits of skin arranged like
scallops along the sides of it, He
has short legs and queer, catlikt
claws, which enable him to easily
climb the old walls and rocks upoT
which he lives, catching the insects
of various sorts which make his din
ner.
He is a nocturnal animal, walkjns
abroad at night and sleeping in tht
daytime. He moves with suddef
rushes and without any noise what
ever. His odd namo was given hin
from the queer noise he makes
which is something like the noise
