yond the danger line when the awful
explosion took place. The fronts OF
40 houses were completely wrecked, 50
persons were wounded, among them St
Regent, and 20 killed.
In 1885 Paris was the scene Of anoth-
er attempt to assassinate ruler, this
time Louis Philippe the intended vic
tim. The machinery this time was
more complicated than the gunpowder
and grapeshot of st. Regent. In room
facing on thoroughfare along which
Louis was accustomed to drive, the as
sassin Fieschi fitted up a machine that
we'll deserved the name of Internal; it
consisted Of Is gun barrels spread out
on a stout frame, like the ribs of a
fan, and 80 set that fire from their
muzzles would rake the street below.
The machine was placed just behind
the blinds of the window, and on the
day of the procession in commemora-
ton of the kings accession, the gun
barrels were charged with powder. four
balls rammed in each, the touch holes
connected by powder chain. AS the
king came opposite the window, Fies-
chi opened his blind and lighted the
train of powder. On unthinking peo-
pie opened up rain Of lead. 40 fell,
dead or wounded. In some miraculous
way the king escaped.
Twenty-three years later Paris was
again the scene Of attempted regicide,
and again the ruler escaped. It was in
the reign Of Napoleon III. that Orsini
and two accomplices threw the famous
0rsini bombs, things planned with
fiendish cunning. They were little
iron cases, the shape of a pear, the
larger end made heavy so as to fall
foremost when the bomb was thrown
from the hand. Each she'll had on the
larger end Is nipples, the size suitable
for an ordinary percussion cap. The
shells were filed with the most violent
explosive obtainable, and Orsini and
two companions, armed with these, sta
toned themselves in group along the
route the emperor and empress were
to take. Suddenly the quiet of the
progress was broken by three dreadful
explosions, and when the smoke cleared
away it was found that the imperial
carriage was shattered, horse killed
and two footmen wounded. Napoleon
and the empress were unframed.
When presently deadly dynamite
came into use, tho internal machine
took on different constructioR, and the
plotters were called dynamiters. A
reign of terror ensued, especially in
England and Russia. England, per-
haps because of the small personal part
In government taken by the English
ruler, had been singularly free from the

That was the first hymn Mr.. Sankey
ever sang with Mr.. Moody. He has said
that while a revenue collector in Penn

for the first time. When the evangelist,
who as later his colleague in the vine
yards of soul-saving effort, called for
the hymn, Mr.. Sankey, from his place in
the rear of the hall, joined in the sing
ing At that moment there was awak-
ened in him realization Of grand pos
session-the power of his voice.
He never cultivated this voice. Critics
said it was not a complete voice, but mil
lions who heard it subsequently failed
to define its sweetness. They knew he
could sing-felt the effect of it-while
no hall in which he sang his hymns ever
could hold the crowds that sought adj
mission. Until two years ago all the
strength of that voice was put into a
song. Mr.. Sankey said then that he
had range wider than that which cap
tivated millions abroad on the famous
trip with Moody. But to-day it is
doubtful if Mr.. Sankey could sing
loud enough to attract the attention of
one OF his faithful nurses. Two of the
latter are in attendance on him.

A broken man, physically-a mere

man is shielded from the worlds view

What contrast to the days when his
immense chest swelled beneath the
