Gabriel's revival hymn. Jsnq&'Jin.MJ!?. '.'Glory Book" It la one of tho most ticcent of the hymns of Its character, liavhig made Its appear ance In 1000. Tho author was born In the early fifties of tho past century, In Iowa and spent his earlier years on a farm ' In that state. Ills melodies arc popu. ; lar. , Durtug tho early summer of 1000 r, while bicycle riding with n Chlcng publisher for whom he was at tho ' time preparing manuscript, ho said to him, "I've got a soup that Is going to llvel" He then gave the title of and made brief quotation from "0 that will be glory." It will doubtless be of Interest to state that Its author received only $10 for the copyright and sole use of ,lt, and this Illustrates the fact that gosqxsl songs are not always written for gain. Charles M. Alcxnnder, the singing evangelist of Torrey-Alcxaitder fame; bus made the "Glory Song" famous wherever the English language ts spo ken.

DAM BREAKS AT JASPER i SPRINGFIELD BOY Thrived on Stone Diet. Tho most curious of all diets Is that of stones. In nn old volume of the Gentleman's Magazine I read the other day of the discovery of the stone eater "In a northern luhablted Island" by the crew of a Dutch .shin. They brought him to France In May. 1700. where he was submitted to all kinds of artificial tests. It was proved that he throve better on stones than any other food, and his dinner usually consisted of large sized flints, with powdered mar bles for dessert. lie became a great at traction at fashionable gatherings. ,where he amused the guests by swal lowing stones and afterward convinc ing them that there was no deception i by making them rattle In his stomach. i Dundee Advertiser.
