That was all there was.
Now that man did his greatest
work by prayer. He was in the
depths OF those forests alone, unable
to speak the language Of the Indians.
but he spent whole days literally in
prayer. What was he praying for?
He knew that he could not reach
these savages; he did not understand
their language. II he wanted to speak
at all, he must find somebody who
could vaguely interpret his thought;
therefore he knew that anything he
should do must be absolutely de-
pendent upon the power of God. So
he spent whole days in praying, SIM
ply that the power OF the Holy Ghost
might come upon him so unmistaka-
bly, that these people should not be
able to stand before him. What was
his answer? Once he preached
through a drunken interpreter, a man
so intoxicated that he could hardly
stand up. That was the best he could
do. Yet scores were converted
through that sermon. We can &C
count for 1t only that it was the tre-
mendous power of God behind him.

up in the attic by the high north
window, and had it fixed so 1t would
swing round easy. I took a deal of

stairs, and seemed to be enjoying it.
When she came down, 1 asked her
if she'd discovered anything new.
Yes she says. why, it made
everybody's house seem so near that
I seemed to be right beside 'em, and
I found out what John Pritchard's
folks are doin' in their out-kitchen.
I've wondered what they had light
there for night after night, and I
just turned the glass on their win
dows and found out. They are cut
tin apples to dry-folks as rich as
them cuttin' apples!'
"And, actually, that was all the

Of her neighbors! And there are lots

HINTS FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY

If a child playing with fireworks
is slightly burned, with the skin un-
broken, it requires no attention. II
a blister has formed it should be
opened with a sterile needle, an or
binary new needle passed through a
flame, and the contents allowed to
trickle out without removing the
skin. Then cover with a piece Of
sterile gauze on which a small guam
tity of carbolized vaselin has been
smeared, and bandage lightly.
II the child Is badly burned the
clothing should be cut, never pulled
from the burn. If it sticks to the
wound apply plentifully warm Oil,
either olive or cottonseed. The in
jured parts should then be immersed
in a strong solution of bicarbonate
of soda, tablespoonful to a pint Of
warm water, or the solution can be
gently poured on from ball of alb
sorbent cotton. II the burn Is very
bad, carron-oil should be applied at
terward.
Carron-oil consists of equal parts
of linseed oil and lime-water, and Is
exceedingly soothing and healing
Cut of enough sterile gauze to cover
the parts, soak it with carron oil and
apply to the burn, then cover with
dry gauze and bandage lightly.
Burns OF considerable size should
never be exposed to the air. Neither
should strong antiseptic solutions be
applied, as a good deal is absorbed
into the skin from a large surface
and the child may become poisoned
in this way.
Children should be instructed to
keep cool and retain their presence
OF mind in case of catching fire. 1t
should be remembered that flames
always, rise upward, therefore to
stand upright and rush about Is the
worst possible thing to do. If child
becomes panic-stricken, it should be
forcibly held down, and a heavy COW
ering of some sort thrown over it.
Always stand at the head of person
in flames and throw a heavy cover
toward the feet. This will turn the
flames from the head toward the feet.
This saves the face and head and ex-
tinguishes the flames quickly.
II medical aid is delayed in arriv-
ing, soak the burned parts in bland
oils, earron-oil If it can be procured,
in the meanwhile olive or eottonseed

COMPLAINT OF THE THIRD
STANZA.

am the third stanza.
The man that wrote the hymn put
me into 1t a-purpose.
/ was not put into 1t just to give
one a chance to leave out something;
I was put into 1t because l meant
something. because had some proper
part in the thought of the hymn.
am not a supernumerary. I am
an entity. I have feelings. l have
rights.
Yet they most always say, please
omit the third stanza."
Why the third stanza? Why not
sometimes the second stanza, or even
the first? Why not give the fourth
a try at it occasionally, and let him
see how it feels? Why always pick
on me?
To be sure, each of the others is
as necessary to the hymn as l am;
but II a hymn is to be mutilated at
all whv always select one member
of it?
Ia most hymns, I am really the
most important stanza. The first two
are preparatory to the main thought
the fourth is an epilogue; I am it
distinctly it. This is not egotism
look in the hymn-book and see fol
yourself. Yet they leave me out.
I would rather be anything else
| than a third stanza; even the back
buttons of a coat, or any other use
less thing.
LET US sing the first two stanza:
and the fourth, emitting the third.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When Freedom from her mountain
height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe OF night.
And set the stars OF glory there!
She mingled with It's gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped It's pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then, from his mansions in the sun,
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud!
Who rear'st aIoft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning lances driven
When strive the warriors of the
storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum OF
heaven
Child of the sum- to the t is given
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover In the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle-stroke
And bid its blendings shine afar
Like rainbows on the cloud OF war,
The harbingers of victory
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign Of hope and triumph high.
When seeks the signal trumpet-tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on |;
Ere yet the life-blood warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn;
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the
glance.
And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreathes the battle
shroud,
And glory sabers rise and fall
Like shoots Of flame on midnight
pail,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow
And covering foes shall shrink be-
meath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Of death.
IA
Flag of the seas on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave
When death, careening on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail
And frightened waves rushed Wild!
back
Before the broadside's Keeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven ant
thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope ant
home,
By angel hands the valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all their hues were born IL

Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe that fall
before US,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet
And Freedoms banner streaming

Use Crater to Hide "A Fort.

United States army engineers have
begun the construction of two large
tunnels through the rim of the great
extinct crater of Diamond Head, Just
east Of the city of Honolulu, Hawaii.
The tunnels are an adjunct to the great
Finch mortar batteries now nearly
completed on the slope Of the big cone
farthest from the ocean. They will
penetrate into the big bowl of the
crater, the floor of which includes some
twenty acres, surrounded by almost
perpendicular cliffs from fifty to 200
feet high. Erosion of ages has covered
this crater floor with layer of earth
averaging perhaps six feet in depth,
while a small lake occupies one side
most of the year, from rains which find
no outlet.
Within the mountain unusually secure
ammunition magazines will be con-
structed, and it is possible that the
quarters for troops may also be con-
structed within the great Enclosure
formed by the crater walls.
Inc batteries or eight big mortars
are almost entirely concealed from the
sea by the bulk of the mountain behind
which they are placed, which not only
makes them difficult to locate accurate
ly from ships, but win protect them
to a considerable extent from battle
ship fire. Their own fire will be CON
trolled by electric indicators operated
at some convenient point of observa.
