oprinaing the Needle Gun.


The Prussians kept the secret Of the
needle gun for thirty years. and then
sprang 1t on the Austrian army at Sa
dowa with demoralizing effect. Indeed,
the effect Of the Prussian quick firing
ut that battle was more moral than
material. for the needle gun was OF
shorter range than the breech loading
rifle then In use In other armies. Still,
the sudden revelation Of the secret In
the war with Austria had a good deal
to do with winning the victory. The
needle gun had been completed as an
invention In 1886. The Prussians
stocked their arsenals with 1t. serving
1t out gradually and training a nucleus
of men In its use. and yet kept the
world In ignorance for years that they
had an entirely new arm.-Manchester

"Thsy Parted Ny Garments"
While Jesus was dying, the stony
hearted Roman soldiers cast lots for
His seamless robe, dividing His other
garments amongst themselves. The at
titude of the world is further repre-
sented In the two culprits who were
executed at the same time. one on
either side Of Jesus. above whose head
was the inscription, "King Of the
Jews" One Of them rallied at Jesus
as fraud. bantering Him to manifest
whatever power He had by saving
Himself and His associates. Little did
he realize that if Jesus had saved
Himself He could not have been the
Savior Of the world!
The other thief befriended Jesus. de-
claring that He had been unjustly ac-
cused Turning to Jesus, he expressed
his faith I'm our Savior by asking a
reward for his kind words He said.
"Lord, remember me when Thou com.
est into Thy Kingdom" The poor thief
knew that Jesus claimed to be q King.
and recognized that He was worthy to
be one. so noble Of character and OF
appearance was He. What II finally.
In the great beyond, this One should
prove to be Messiah? The thief Would

I'm His defense and ask kind remem-
brance II this One ever reached His
kingly power.
Jesus answer seems to have been
very generally misunderstood In the
past. We thought that He promised
the thief to be with Him that same
day In the Kingdom. Yet we knew
that according to other Scriptures Je.
sus Himself was not I'm the Kingdom

third day; and that even then He said
to Mary. IL have not yet ascended to

not have meant that He and the thief

Sparks From the Mouth.

the Servile war In Sicily. l30 B. q. He
pretended to have immediate commu-
nication with the gods. When desirous
of inspiring his followers with courage

and. having filed II with some burn
ing substance. he put 1t In his mouth

trick is performed today In a more ap-

burn until II is nearly consumed. Then
he rolls around II more tax while II Is
still burning BY this means the fire
Is retained In the ball for long time
He slips this ball into his mouth unper
ceived and breathes through 1t. His
breath revives the fire, and he sus-
tains no injury 50 long as he inhales
only through his nostrils.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for other feats Of this sort
performed by the ancients. An old
ordeal was the holding Of redhot iron
