HYMN SAVED HIS LIFE.
And Long Years Afterward His Foe
man Told Him About It

From the Pittsburg Gazette.
The power of a song Is something WON
derful at times. This is we'll illustrated by
a story, and true one told not long ago:
Two Americans who were crossing the
Atlantic met in the cabin on Sunday night
to sing hymns. AS they sang the last
hymn, Jesus, Lover of My Soul" one of
them heard an exceedingly rich and beau
tiful voice behind him. He looked around
and. although he did not know the face, he
thought that he knew the voice. So when
the music ceased he turned and asked the
man IL he had been in the civil war. The
man replied that he had been a confeder-
ate soldier.
Were you at such a place on such a
night?' asked the first.
Yes" he replied. land a curious thing
happened that night which this hymn has
recalled to my mind. l was posted. on SEN
a dark night and very cold, and / was a
little frightened because the enemy was
supposed to be very near. About midnight,
when everything was very still, and / was
feeling homesick and miserable and weary
I thought that would comfort myself by
praying and singing hymn. I remem-
Der singing this hymn:
''Al my trust on Thee Is stayed.
AL my help from Thee bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow Of Thy Wing.
After singing that a strange peace came
down upon me. and through the long night
/ felt no more fear.
Now" said the other. listen to my

abandoned. The formation and growth are
due to mechanical and chemical action. As
in the case of the animal or vegetable, ex-
listing gold has existed in some other state
before assuming its present form Waters
which percolate through the earth's crust
are said to contain substances from which
gold is formed. Thus gold, like the animal
and vegetable, must have water in order to
thrive. The gold in the water is deposited
when 1t meets the proper precipitant. The
precipitant may be an earth current of
electricity in the rocks.
1t has been claimed that the nuggets
found in placers are the formations from
the waters that percolate through the
gravels and are not from decomposed
quartz. as generally supposed Those who
so contend cite the fact that in the center
of nuggets can often be found q small
grain of iron sand. This was the nucleus
around which the earth current of electrici-
ty created or deposited In electroplating.
During long ages this influence was at
work causing the gold to form around the
little grain of iron ore and then grow to
become bright, shining nugget of gold
much larger and purer than any ever founf
in the veins of ore.

Assessor Darneille's Suggestion Re-

lumbia road was assessed in the name of

Hit incloses to the Commissioners is a full
discharge of the Indebtedness of herself and
family for the 1903 personal tax against the
personal property in question. AS the
sessment was levied in the name of her hus-
band the assessor can see no necessity for
changing the receipt at this time. II Mrs

many centuries before the Christian era

may be explained in this way:
All cooking at that time was by wood
fires, and sthe people lived in tents and
huts, with earth4for their floors. Countless
fires made of Wood upon ground strongly
fmpregnated with inter must have existed
every day, and when such fires were extin-
guished a portion of the wood must have
been converted into charcoal, some Of which
would of necessity, become mixed with the
inter in the soil, By this means two OF
the most active ingredients of gunpowder
were brought together, and it Is very nat
ural that when another fire was kindled on
the same spot q fash might follow. This
would lead to investigation. and then the
manufacture of gunpOwder was conceived.
Whether this be true or not. there ia album
dant evidence that the origin Of gunpow-
der and artillery goes far back In the dim
ages Of the past.
The Hindoo code. compiled long before
the Christian era, prohibited the making Of
war with cannon and guns or any kind OF
firearms Quintus Curtius informs us that

ander's conquests were arrested by the use
of gunpowder. It Is also written that those
wise men who lived in the cities of the
Ganges "overthrew their enemies with
tempests and thunderbolts shot from the
walls" julius Africanus mentions shooting
powder in the year 275. It was used in the
siege of Constantinople in 66S; by the Arabs
in 800: at Thessalonica, in 9O4; at the siege
of Belgrade, 1913; by the Greeks in naval
battles. in 1O9S; by the Arabs against the
Iberians, in 1147, and at Toulouse, in 1918.
It appears to have been generally known
throughout civilized Europe as early as
1900, and soon thereafter It made its way
into England. where 1t was manufactured
during the reign of Elizabeth. and we learn
that a few arms were possessed by the
English in 1870 and that they were used at
the battle OF Crecy in 1348.
