of the earth, Cog and MagOg, to gather
them together to battle; the number OF
whom is as the sand Of the sea.-Rev

Are splitting each Others blood,
While the tears of wives and mothers
Are flowing like a flood,
While God is over all.
There is an old, old story,
Old as the crime of Cain,
That Satan, in all his glory.
For a thousand years will reign
While God is over all.
| O, Lord of heaven above US,
BY the blood Of millions dead,
Call forth the avenging angels
To crush the serpent S head
While God reigns over all.
Let the ten thousands living,
| Blinded, and manned, and lame,
Join with the choir of heaven
In that dear old song again
Glory to God in the highest,
On earth peace, goodwill to men.
| Let that glad song the nations thrill
Till round the earth its echo
VIII never more he still.

Special Tariffs

MEAICO CITY, Feb. 12.-The con

that hereafter all special freight rates
will be annulled and all shippers must
pay the regular rates The special
rates were established years ago with
the idea Of aiding national industries
and many shippers were permitted to
transport raw and manufactured prod

rates. The announcement of the an
nulment Of these rates declares the

Y;rst Aid For Painters.

Every member of the Washington po-
lice force carries when on duty in
crowds pi! box full OF tiny glass
tubes of aromatic spirits of ammonia,
according to the Popular Science
Monthly. These are for reviving per
sons who faint in the street.
The tubes are about an inch long and
slightly more than an eighth of an inch
in diameter. Each has wrapping OF
absorbent cotton and over this silk
gauZe covering.
Slight pressure between the fingers
is sufficient to break the tube. The
ammonia is promptly absorbed by the
cotton about it. which also serves to
prevent the sharp particles of glass
from doing any harm. Held beneath
the nose of the person who has tainted,
the fumes of the ammonia soon revive
her. The tubes are stored in all the
patrol boxes about the city and are
carried in patrol wagons and police
ambulances.

instance miller gets married he stops
his mill with the arms of the wheel in
an oblique position and with the sails

likewise with their mills in celebration
Of the ceremony. To announce a birth
the wheel is stopped with the arms
in a slanting position. but at a more
acute angle than for a marriage and
with the two upper sails unfurled. In
the event of millers death his fami-
