Literally, fhou has loved my soul back
from the pit OF destruction. "As if the
love OF God, shining ON the soul, mad
made it ascend out of the power OF
death" DIR. kayl. Was Ilezekiah re-
fcrring TO the grave when he uttered
these wordsY If hc was. death was TO
him a far more terrible thing than It
is to the believer now. For he speaks
of his soul. and not merely of his body,
in that deliverance. If Hczekiah must
sing with gratitude because God had re-
yokod the sentence of death, how much
more shorfd the Christian rejoice with
Joy unspeakablc when he remembers that
the Lord has brought him out of a hor-
riblc pit, out of the miry clay. and has
set his feet upon rock (Ps Nl2.) Let
the fact of this great deliverance be the
ground of still further mercies. What
he has done for my soul, let him now dc
for my feet. Let the same divine power
which delivered me from death be per.
petually in exercise TO keep me from
stumbling in my walk Thine is the
power: unto Thee shall be the glory

Where Only Results Count

Perhaps the best evidence OF the supremacy OF
gas as domestic fuel is afforded by its increasing
use for industrial purposes.
Allof the considerations that govern the selection
of fuel for the kitchen apply to the choice of one
for the lines of manufacture in which gas has come
to be so extensively used. Heating qualities, regu-
lation and control, uniformity, dependability and
cleanliness are factors in each case, but in the in
dusrial world the matter of COST is ever important,
while at least in some homes it is not regarded
provided the desired results are obtained
In the many industries where gas is now used
for heating purposes, it superseded some other fuel
usually after the relative merits and cost OF each
had been established by careful and exact tests. In
such cases gas finally selected, not because the
representative of the gas company had told the
manufacturer that ii the best fuel, but because
the latter had to his own
satisfaction
II coal, electricity kerosene, gasoline any other SubS-
tue had produced better results than gas would have been
selected But the superiority of gas established in this
field just its superiority had previously been established in
the domain of domestic science.
Ii not surprising, therefore, that the OF gas for indus
trial heating purposes becoming general every year.

TODAy's OLDEST STORY.

WARSAW. Ind, Apr. 12--James
Robinson is gradually taking on
. weight again. He lost 100 pounds
in fifty-seyen days, and inciden-
tally set a new record for fasting
in so doing.
Robinson's troubles was that
. he had no appetite. He simply
couldn't bear the sight OF food.
Finally he was induced to take a
glass Of buttermilk, and he grad
ually recovered. He had dropped
from 23O pounds to 1870.
This upsets the theory Of medi-
cal science that fifty-five days is
the limit of a mans endurance

Secretary Daniels differed from the
general board in one important par
tlcular at least as to the program. al
though the total number of ships to
be constructed and the types recon-
mended arc those proposed by the
board. The secretary says:

upon for advice in this connection and

was concluded, in view of all the CIR

make this as nearly uniform as might
be. This course has obvious practi-
cal advantages. particularly In view
of the present condition of the ship

his estimates are based on ships to

allow for the increased size.
Another Radical Step.
Secretary Daniels takes another
radical step In his report in urging
that the present system OF promotion
of officers by seniority be abandoned
in favor of promotion by selection. He
goes at length into the results of the
seniority system to find that It pro-
duces "stagnatlon in the lower
grades, arrival at command rank late
in life and a heeting passage through
command and flag grades. combined
with absolute lack or professional In

present plan.
is selection by merit practicable
under our existing form OF govern
ment?" the secretary asks. Virtually
all officers admit il would be the best
system. he says, but dismiss it with
the statement that for political rea-
sons It would become promotion by
political influence or favoritism. He
does not subscribe to this view. He
believes a system of promotion based
practically upon the vote OF the off,

SAVE WILLIAM PENN's CHAIRS
National HeirIooms, About TO Fall
Apart. Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The two women
are inmates of the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women The
chairs are preserved in the east room
OF Independence hall, on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
of the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse But
they did not dare to let the chahs
be taken out of Congress hall
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost. mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women. and she
brought with her to the room two of
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult. for it was impossible to erect
In Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place.
and, moreover, their woodwork was
soft with age. But the deft seeing
fingers" of the blind women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.
