NICARAGUAN REBELS
GAIN BIG VICTORIES
INSURGENTS CAPTURE GRANADA
AND EvADE TROOPS.
ADVANCE OF CHAMORRO'S SOL
DIERS CAUSES UNEASINESS.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. % =
Victories of immense Importance to the
insurgent arms in Nicaragua are told in
dispatches being received today AT the
state department.
Gen. Chamorro. with the main division
of the lnsurgent army, has completely
evaded the government forces and by Il
flank movement has taken the city of
Granada. The Chamorro family is pow
erful there and the capture of the city
is most important. 1t is inferred that
Gen. Estrada, once believed to be going
in the direction of Greytown, Is march
ing to make a junction with Chamorro,
and attack Managua. The losses of gov
eminent troops have been terrific in the
guerrilla warfare which has ragged for
the last few days. The losses of the
provisional troops were slight.
Complete disorder and panic are
spreading through the Madriz troops and

Madriz, taking alarm at the spirit of
unrest among the populace. which has in
creased every day as ChamOrrO'S troops
have been advancing, has practically de-
clared a dictatorship over the depart

and has put Julian Irias in charge with
plenary powers. The app ,intee was

VISIONS FROM HEAVEN.

By Rev. A. L. Byron-Curtis.
"Whereupon, o King Agrlp-
pa, / was not disobedient unto the
heavenly vision Acts 20: 10.
I'm all ages there have been three
kinds Of persons In respect to visions.
Those who never see any; those who
think they do, and those who really
and truly do. ST. Paul was one OF
those who really saw vision. In his
fmpassioned Grafton before King
Agrippa we are given to understand
that he positively saw a vision from
heaven, and that the same changed
the whole course of his life. In the
middle Of the day, while on a journey,
he and his company were overcome by
a supernatural event. They all fell
to the ground A positive order, a
command, was given to st. Paul by
the voice Of God, to follow a positive
and certain line Of duty. He followed
In. 1t the course Of a few years his
obedience to the command Of that
vision brought him into the presence
of King Agrippa before whom he made
the remarkable speech from which our
text is taken. He recounted the events.
and in the outburst Of oratory in the
presence of that heather king, the
meat and kernel Of it all is contained
in our text. "Whereupon, o King
Agrippi, l was not disobedient unto
the heavenly vision" He was not a
coward, he was not a moral or intel
lectual weakling. He just faced his
duty as 1t was pointed out to him
and was thus enabled, not to boast, but
to point to it as a proof of his hay
ing had the vision.
1 will not deny that common and
obscure people may receive visions
from heaven such as 1 have not, and
may never see. But | want to tell
you this, that all visions from heaven
do not come out Of the clouds, or from
the ethereal space above us. No. Any
call to duty, and bidding Of you or me
to do special work for God, or the
church or for our fellow man is the
voice of God, a vision from heaven,
calling to us. The church calling us,
through our pastors, by it's holy sea-
sons, by its principals. God calls us
in the voice of opportunity, through
the voice Of opportunity at our elbow,
through the voice of conscience, which
is the voice of God.
Don't be waiting for a call from
out of the clouds ere you wake up
and go to work. That has happened
to but a few persons In entire historf
Of time. The only reason st. Paul
was called as he was, was because
there was particular and divine work
for him to do. There have been but
few people called as he was, or for
that matter with a supernatural Wis
ion as was he.
The only reason you haven't been
called as was he, is because the oppor-
tunities for service and duty for you
are plain and can be discerned by your
natural eye, recognized by the force Of
your own inner conscience.

Continuing his researches, begun

experimented with still shorter rays OF

units, for the sterilization of all kinds
of liquids. He finds that the very
short rays are % times as effective as
the longer ones in their sterilizing

From 1900 to 1906 L. S. Berg carried
on Investigations round the Sea of
Aral. and the results have been pub
lished in Russian. They lead to the
conclusion, contrary to that reached
by others, that there is no general dry
ing up of this inland sea, but that
Deriodic changes of it's water level oc-
cur. and that the level has been ris-
ing continually since 1880. Berg finds
the saIinity 1915 per 1000, as against
more than y per 1000 about 1870.
The sea has now superficial area of
about $4,000 square miles, but is very
shallow, the mean depth being about
800 feet. Its total volume of water is
only about one-tenth Of that Of the
Lake of Baikal, which has but little
more than half it's area. The water
is supplied wholly by the rivers Anu
and Syr, which together deliver, on
the average, 1900 cubic meters per
second. The water is derived from
melting mountain SHOWS.
Titanium steel rails for railroads
were first made experimentally in 1907.
The results that they showed led to
their manufacture by several steel COM
panies In 1908, and during 1909, &C
cording to the Engineering and Mining
Journal, their manufacture entered
upon the commercial scale. Expert
inents on the New York Central have
confirmed those made elsewhere in

Really Poor Penmau.

There is certain Philadelphia phy-
stefan of considerable prominence who
is renowned among his friends as .he
worst penman in the Quaker city. He
used to write them letters and then
feel hurt when they could not read
them. When he wrote to persons who
were not familiar with his scrawI thew
frequently would not know whom the
letters were from. Some time ago
he introduced a typewriter into his
Office, and this rendered the body of
the letter ineligible, but did not clear
up the difficulty over the signature
Now, however, says the Record. he
has had made rubber stamp bearing
his name and address in printing. He
signs his name in the usual scrawi. but
alongside he impresses his stamp. 1t
is little humiliating, he says, but he
no longer has any trouble about per
sons to whom he writes not knowing
from whom the letters are.

WOMEN'S DUTIES.

By Rev. William T. McEIveen
Text-"Your daughters shall be as
cornerstones hewn after the similitude
OF palace. Psalm 144:12.
Men as yet do not know exactly
what women are for; and what's more
woman does not know as yet what
she is for. One does not need any
better proof Of that than the wordy
warfare which is continually being
waged by women themselves on the
subject of suffrage. Some of the wo-
men want it, and more Of them don't
Some of them feel 1t is their right
and their duty to help to govern the
nation, and others of them maintain
full in governing the home and the
inmates thereof.
Woman has been put in the stall
with the cattle she has been exalted
to place by the right side of the
gods. She has been called a nuisance
and an angel She has been said to
be incapable Of anything, and she
has been termed heavens last and
best gift" The boy Of ten looks with
contempt on his little sister, and de-
clares with curled up lip Nshe is moth
ing but girl; the youth of twenty
looks admiringly at some other fell
lows sister, and fondly declares she
is Gods masterpiece. Socrates thank
ed God daily that he was not born a
woman. Lowell sings that earth's
noblest thing is a woman perfected.
Boucicault wishes that Adam had died
with all his ribs in him, while Shakes
peare had so much admiration for
womanhood that he depicted only hero
tnes-he tells US OF no heroes.
King David, passing by his beautiful
palace, and thinking of the young wo-
men of his realm, notices the beauti-
full polished marble cornerstones OF
his palace. And he thinks the young
women of his realm should occupy the
same place in the fabric of society
that these beautiful carved corner
stones occupy In the palace. They
should be both useful and ornamental,
They should be fair to look upon, and
add to the sweeter and more graceful
qualities of life. They should do some
thing toward making the earth bet
ter and happier place to live in.

JESUS AND THE GRAFTERS.

By Rev. w. A. Bartlett
On one occasion only did Jesus
Christ resort to violence in His three
years ministry. 1t was when He came
in from the hill country to Jerusalem
and found the temple, the center of
religion, surrounded by grafters These
men were making fat living by the
sale Of sacrificial animals at extortion-
ate prices and exchanging money for
temple coin at rates that would salts
fly the most thrifty tourist or steam
ship agencies Of the present day. The
Lords indignation was so great that
Ee personally tipped over the tables
OF the money changers and, making
whip Of cords, drove these parasites
from the courts. This splendid exhi-
bition Of authority on the part of a
stranger, who made the horde of traf-
fickers take to their heels, revealed not
only the divine nature of the Master
but shows that one man with right on
his side may put to fight an army of
dishonest creatures who subsist on
their fellows.
Graft is as old as Egypt-old as the
annals of man 1t is more low and
disgusting in these days because men
sin against the greater light In the
wonderful Passion Play, as given at
Oberammergau, Bavaria, the great
mob which cries out Cruelty Him"
while melted by the priests, is made
up Of these same traders. who never
forgot that their unholy business was
destroyed by One who said: Take
these things hence; make not nv

disc" 1t was graft that crucif,ed
Jesus, hand in hand with a corrunt
priesthood.
The church OF to-day may not be
under the accusation of graft. It Is
undoubtedly purer. But men ought to
regard business and their dealings
with society as sacred as any obliga-
ton. Nothing can be more denraved
and reveal such a lost condition If
soul as this attempt to live off of
others, to deal dishonesty. to get
money without earning it.
There are two ways to deal with Il
and both are necessary. First. the

DoN,Ts FOR CHURCHMEN

Don't expect mans wind in church
to give a clew to his weight outside.
Don't fail to strive to get more in
your work than you hope to get by it.
Don't overlook the fact that some big
aspirations may be smaller than a
little act
Don't forget that the discovery of
the things that really matter Is happi-
ness.
Don't overlook TIE fact mat many
present problems are past follies get
ting ripe.
Don't forget that if all our prayers
were answered we would never learn
to pray.
Don't try to carry a great burden
unless you know how to set 1t down
and forget it at times.

HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS
COME THOU ALMIGHTY KING.
Anonymous.
~NN~o%~N%N~

mo one knows who wrote this populat
church hymn. In the greater number OF
books it Is credited to Charles Wesley.
That Is because it first appeared in COM
pany with some Of his hymns; but Meth,
er Wesley nor his contemporaries claimed
1t as his. There are some reasons for
thinking that it was the work of the Rev.
Martin MAIDEN 1726-1790), an English
Methodist clergyman well known both as
4 vivid orator and an enthusiastic must
clan. He practiced law for several years
before being ordained. Later he was
chaplain of the Lock Hospital. The
hymn with its tune, italian Hymn has
won for itself no uncertain place In the
worship of American churches. although
it's use is by no means so general In other
lands.1
Come, Thou Almighty King,
Help us Thy name to sing.
Help us to praise;
Father all glorious,
Ger all victorious
Come, and reign over US,
Ancient Of Days.
Come, Thou 1ncarnate Word,
Grid on Thy mighty sword;
Our prayer attend;
Come, and Thy people bless;
And give Thy word success;
Spirit of Holiness
On US descend.
Come, Holy Comforter!
Thy sacred witness bear,
In this glad hour!
Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit Of Power!
To the Great One in Three,
The highest praises be,
Hence evermore!
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore.
