Tho story of a Famous Hymn.

The famous hymn beginning God
moves in mysterious way" known
as "Cowper's Hymn had its orr
gin as follows: Cowper was all his
life the victim Of melancholia and
more than once attempted suicide.
One day, bent upon destroying himself
he got into cab and ordered the
driver to take him to a certain point
on the river where he intended ia
drown himself. The cabman. noticing
his strange appearance and feeling
that all might not be right with him,
drove him about the city and finally
stopped in front of the poets door.
Stepping out and recognizing the old
familiar surroundings and shocked at
the thought of his narrow escape,
Cowper exclaimed, God moves in a
mysterious way his wonders TO per-

The first was, THE ventilator lives in

occasion offered the teacher reminded
his class that attention and application
are requisite for acquiring knowledge

A Sixth sen,s.

An interesting discussion arose at a
recent college lecture concerning the
instinct of direction" possessed so
marvelously by savage rdces and by
animals. Undoubtedly animals are
aided largely by scent. In the case OF
humans it is different, and some Of
the pupils argued that the primitive
man is able to find his way in the
densest forest without taking note Of
the sun. the wind. the lay of the land
or the course Of the streams. There
fore it was said he must be guided by
q sixth sense because none of the reg
ular five senses could aid him. Other
pupils. however. argued that the In
dian found his way in places where
there were no apparent guides be-
cause he knew how. because he had
learned all his life how to do it, just
as the writer. for instance. VIII write
page after page of copy. spelling all
the words correctly. but yet cannot If
asked 10 spell simple word. This is
because he learned the words long
ago and his spelling is purely me-
chanical. II is so with the Indian

The Man With a Gold.

The sympathy given to the man with
a hard cold is purely perfunctory
We know. or at least we think we
know. that he will not die We know
that he is thoroughly wretched, yet
we are equally certain that in three
days or so he will be coming upstairs
two at a time. This does not comfort
him, though he may know 1t himself.
He therefore feels himself an outcast
a pariah. He is cut off from the
ordinary human relations, If he so
much as kisses his wife or child he
is blackguard, mentally self convict

The captain of an ocean steamer in
most cases finds out when his vessel
is approaching an iceberg from the
men down in the engine room. That
sounds queer, but it is a fact never
theless. 1t appears that when a
steamship enters water considerably
colder than that through which 1t has
been going its propeller runs faster.
Such water usually surrounds the vici-
mage of icebergs for many miles.
When the propeler's action therefore
is accelerated without the steam pow
er being increased word is passed up
to the officer on the bridge that ice
bergs may, be expected, and close
lookout for them is established. There
are natural reasons for the propeller
acting in this way. and sea captains
will assert the same thing.
