Curious lnvoeations by Famous His
torieal Personages.
One of the earliest records in his
tory Of a prayer before battle is that.
Of Childeric. king Of Gaul, a pagan,
who before going into battle at Zuel-S
pich, some 400 years after Christ,
prayed to the God Of the Christians to
help him to victory. His foe was At
tia, king of the Huns, and ChildericS
vowed if God would give him the VIC
tory he would embrace the Christian
faith s sl.
The prayer of 81 Hungarian officer.
before one of the battles fought for the
independence Of Hungary in 1S49 was
as follows: II will not ask thee, Lord.
to help us. and / know thou wilt not
help the Austrians, but if thou wilt sit
On yonder hill thou shalt not be asham-
ed Of thy children. Is This was the
prayer of the " Fighting Bishop Les.
lie before one of the battles fought in
ireland: 20 God. for our unworthiness
we are not fit to ell thy help, but
If we are bad our q les are worse,
and If thou seest =, 3eet to help us
we pray thee help them not. but stand
thou neuter on this day and leave it to
the arm of the flesh"
The one offered before the battle of
Edgehill by Sir Jacob Ashley was,
.sThou knowest o Lord, that / shall
be very busy this day. and If I forget
thee forget thou not me- and then the
command followed, March on, boys"
AS King Edward advanced with his
columns to Bannockburn he remarked
to his aids, seeing the Scotch on their
knees: .".See, they kneel. The rebels
are asking pardon" D'Umphraville
was heard to remark: Eyes, but it is to
the King Of kings. These men conquer
or die on this field"
Oliver Cromwell had public prayers
before going to battle on several occa-
sions, as, for instance, previous to the
battle OF Dunbar. 1t is a curious fact
that the English prayer book contains
prayers, or at least one prayer, to be
said before going into action at sea,
while nothing is provided for use be-
fore engagements ON land.

It's Wonderful and Far Reaohing Ef-
". fects Upon the World.
1.-THE effects Of gravitation are SO IA
miliar ais to demand only the briefest
mention, yet most of us perhaps sell
these effects are" says DR.. Henry
Smith Williams. But for gravitation
the winds would not blow, the waters
would not descend, and the mountain
tops would not crumble into the val
leys. Each particle OF pulverized rock
would remain where it was formed,
and there would be no such thing as a
mixed soil. vi
But as matters are actually arrang-
ed gravitation Is perpetually active,
and every particle OF matter is being
eternaily tugged at and urged to get
nearer to the earth's center. So no
sooner does fragment Of rock at q
mountain crest become leosened than
grayitation hurls 1t crashing down into
the valley, shattering 1t into frag-
ments perhaps or at the least grinding
of some portions Of it's surface as
well ais Of the surface Of the rocks
against which 1t is dashed.
| esBy such means and with the fur
ther aid of its handmaidens, wind and
water, gravitation works its unceasing
purpose Of leveling the surface Of the
earth. In a few brief geological mo-
ments it rounds the shoulders Of the
haughtfest mountain, and, given time
enough, it will bring every particle of
rock back to the sea bed, whence It
originally sprang. Short OF that, as a
transition stage, 1t Is forever mixing
the different soil constituents on the.
one hand and sorting them out again
on the other AppletOn's.

/. Work and Worry.

II am working too hard. Ny work
is killing me- The man is mistaken.
Work does not kill. Work is medicine
to the body and mind and spirit. Work
is the salvation Of men, Work cures a
thousand Ills. Worry kills. Dissipation
kills. Worry is largely matter Of
nerves or Indigestion or liver, or 1t
may be quality Of temperament or
1t may spring from envy or some other
hateful habit of thought. In most
cases worry is concerning things pure
~ imaginary-things that cannot be
helped. One Of the best cures for the
worry habit is work, hard work Of
body and mind. Work requires concen-
tration of effort and mind. That makes
one forget his troubles. Work may be
made joy, and in the Joy of work
ing there is no room for worry Right
living, right thinking, work-these are
specifics for most of the ills caused by
worry. ~

Experiment. Suggested by Franklin and
Performed BY D'AIibard.
10 Benjamin Franklin belongs the
merit of having perceived that d direct
experiment was needed to prove what
so far was only a guess. In an article
entitled Opinions and Conjectures
Concerning the Properties and Effects
of the Electrical Matter Arising From
Experiments and Observation Made
at Philadelphia, 1T49,' the following
passage occurs:
the clouds that contain lightning are
electrified or not would propose an
experiment to be tried where itscan be
done conveniently. On the top OF some
high tower or steeple place a kind Of
sentry box big enough to contain a
man and an electrical stand. From the
middle of the stand let an iron rod rise
and pass, bending out of the door and
then upright twenty feet or thirty
feet, pointed very sharp at the end. II
the electrical stand be kept clean and
dry man standing on 1t when such
clouds are passing low might be cleo
trified and afford sparks, the rod
drawing fire to him from a cloud.
eff any danger to the man should
be apprehended, though think there
would be none, let him stand on the
floor of his box and now and then
bring near to the rod the loop Of a
wire that has one end fastened to the
leads, he holding it by wax handle,
so the sparks If the rod be electrified
will strike. from the rod to the wire
and not affect him. . 4.
The experiment suggested by Frank
lin was successfully performed in Mar
", France, by D'Alibard on May 10,
1752; in London by Canton In Spital
square on July 20, 1752, and by Wilson
in Chelmsford, Essex, on Aug. IL Of
the same year. Franklin himself de-
scribed having used kite in Phila-
delphia in a letter dated Oct. 10 with
out giving the date Of his observations.
Rosenberger 'Geschichte der Physik, Z,
volume 2, page 316J mentioned that it
was done in June.
Franklin's disbelief in the dangerous
character Of the experiment must have
received a severe shock when he heard
Of the death Of g. W. Richman, who,
In the year 1853, was killed by an cleo
trio discharge drawn from the clouds
by means of kite.

"A GREAT BASEBALL SERIES.
How Boston and Providence Rattied In
the Leauue In 1894. d


How Boston and Providence Rattied In
/ the League In 1894
Probably one OF the grandest series
Of baseball games played by National
league clubs was that between the
Bostons and the Providence Grays in
1884. The Bostons had won the cham
pionship Of 1883, and 1t was the am
bition of Providence cranks. who lived
only forty miles away from the Hub,
to wrest the laurels away from the
Bean Eaters. Every game that was
played between the clubs was at
tended by immense crowds. and the
excitement was at white heat
The first game of the series in 1884
was one of sixteen innings and result
ed in q tie, the score standing to 1.
The pitchers were Charley Radbourne
and Jim Whitney, and 10000 persons
saw the battle. The next day Provi-
dence won by score of 2 to / in
nine innings. and Charley Sweeney
struck out nineteen Boston batsmen.
OF the first eight games Boston wen
Eve and Providence three. When 1T
came time to meet for the four final
struggles the Providence team had
won every series from the other league
clubs and wanted to win the series
from the Bostons too. Radbourne ac-
cordingly was assigned to pitch, in all
four games on four successive days.
He was in such magnificent form that
in all of the games the Bostons were
beaten and scored the sum total of one
run. One Of the games lasted eleven
innings. 1t was played in Boston and
was finally won by the Rhode Island
ers by a score of to O. Arthur r.
win, who was the shortstop for Provi-
dence, drove a long fly toward the
right field fence, and the ball went
through hole between the boards. It
was a four Dagger and decided the
game. ass1
Radbourne's wonderful pitching in
those days will never be forgotten by
those who saw him perform. He went
into the box game after game and
pitched for nineteen consecutive con-
tests. 1t was his remarkable twirling
that was instrumental in helping Prov
idence to win the pennant that year.
Sweeney jumped the club in the mid
die Of the season, and Rad went
along single handed. One feat that
was the talk of the baseball world In
1883 was his pitching in an exhibition
game at Trenton. The home club
would not allow Providence to play
wffh rho rnyI1la tion lsa GRO hn II and fn-
sisted upon substituting another Of
lighter weight. Radbourne. however,
accepted the latter ball and proceeded
to strike out every man who came to
the bat until one man had been re-
tired in the sixth inning. Then play
er fouled the ball, which had not been
done before. The pitching distance
then was forty-tiye feet from the home
plate. az ..:.

OLD BIRDS NESTS.

Many Feathered Creatures Use the

s'That common expression for worth
lessness, 1T has no more value than
a last years birds nest" said bird
fancier, lis often far from correct.
The majority of our birds do leave
their nests after raising q brood, but
many do not, and their nests are used
through d succession Of years. have
known some birds to use their nests
ten years in succession, and so per-
sistent are they that many times the
female will return even after the nest
has been robbed and the mate killed.
Among these users of perennial nests
are the wrens, some Of the swallow
family. bluebirds, great crested fy-.
catchers, some of the owls, eagles.
chickadees and some woodpeckers.s
''They repair to the nest each year
and often build 1t over. A little wren
has made its nest in a hole in a tree In
my garden and has occupied it for the
last eight years. Each year it has piled
on new stug till the hole is almost fill
ed up. Some say that as soon as 1t be-
comes crowded the birds will clean it
out. I know OF a bluebird's nest that
has been occupied for several years. 1t
is the same female year after year, for
she has two black wing feathers and
is lame.
Birds that build In exposed situa-
TONS, like hangbirds, always build
anew each season, and some others
build anew for every brood Some new
er build. They either lay in the nests
Of other birds or in the sand. The
eagle and the owl make q framework
Of sticks and slight repairs are needed.
Many birds nests that you find have
never been used. For instance, the
marsh wren builds several with the
idea that in the case Of disturbance
the male will attract attention to the
nests other than that In which the fe-
male Is breeding and SO shield her from

French Musician Made the saueaiers
Sing q Tune.
During the reign Of Louis XI. of
France there was attached to his court
one Abbot de Bafg1e, d man OF con
siderable wit. The abbot was some
what musicaliy inclined and delighted
the court with inventions Of odd mu-
steal instruments One day the king,
after having enjoyed hearty laugh
over one of these curious contriyances
and desiring to battle this musical
genius, commanded him to produce
harmonious sounds from the cries OF
hogs. This seemed an impossibility
to the king, and he prepared himself
to enjoy the discontinue Of the abbot.
Much to his surprise, however, the abb
bot readily agreed to produce them.
All he required was sum Of money,
upon receipt Of which he declared he
would invent the most surprising thing
ever heard In the way OF musical atroc-
ity. s.z
He secured the country and secured
a large number Of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, and
finally, having fully satisfied himself,
he arranged the animals In a sort of
pavilion richly decorated. The day Of
the trial arrived, and the king and his
court entered the pavilion prepared for
something. but greatly In doubt as to
the success of the abbot with the hogs,
However, there were the hogs, sure
enough, and, much to the surprise and
delight Of the king, they commenced
to cry tremendously and In good tune,
rendering an air that was fairly rec
ognized The abbot had arranged a
series Of stops that We're connected
with the hogs and upon pulling one Of
them out caused spike to prick the
| hog it connected with, making him
squeal his note The rest was easy,
for by pulling out the different stops
he produced the tune. III
