AMERICAN HYMN WRITERS.
John' Quincy Adams, Our 8ixth Presi
dent, Was One of Them.
There has. been uo American hymn
writer to compare with Isaac Watts or
Charles Wesley, both of whom wrote
hundreds of hymns which have become
classic, but several Americans have
written hymns of recognized merit,
some of which arc still sung In
churches.
John Quincy Adams, sixth president
of the United States and previously
minister to Russia and secretary of
state, wrote several hymns which were
sung In Congregational churches,
though he was a Uuitarlun. He wrote
a metrical version of the Psalms,
which was published after his death.
The Longfellow brothers. Henry W.
and Stephen both wrote some good
hymns. Francis Scott Key, author of
the "Star Spangled Banner." wrote a
thanksgiving hymn beginning, “Befoae
the Lord we bow," which used to be
sting at Fourth of July celebrations.
The two Cary sisters, Alice and
Phoebe, who lived near Cincinnati,
both wrote some fine hymns. Phoebe
wrote the hymn beginning. “One
sweetly solemn thought."
Other Americans who have written
good hymns were John Plerpont,
Charles Beecher, a brother of Henry
Ward Beecher, and Mrs. Van Alstyue
(Fanny Crosby), who wrote more
hymns than any of the others above
named.—Philadelphia Press.
EXTRAVAGANT EUGENIE.
The Empress Boasted That She Never
Wore a Gown Twice.
It Is true that the cost of women’s
dress lias so lucreused that It Is not
given to the ninny to be ns truly ele
gant ns their grandmothers were able
to be nt comparatively small cost
But, then, those were the days when
nil elaborate ball gown consisted of
yurds of flounces of tarlatan or some
other light and uncostly material.
Empress Eugenie. It is suld, declared
die iwver wore the same gown twice.
She It was, by the way, who made
Worth, the renowned 1’urls couturier,
famous. The great luxury In those
days was to wear several ball gowns
during the course of a single ball.
1 Messing rooms were provided, and the
ladles retired to reappear resplendent
and ns fresh as nt the beginning of
the evening. The gowns of the day,
which were flimsy of train and spread
by crinolines, suffered much from an
evening’s wear; hence these wasteful
ways.
There is a tale of the lovely Empress
Elizabeth of Austria which recounts
her appearing nt a function In a white
tulle gown, flounced and ample, deco
rated with garlands of real camellias,
and changing both gown and camellias
every now and then to preserve the
Impression of absolute and uucrumpled
freshness.—Vogue Magazine.
Bird Stories.
A German scientific Journal publish
ed In 1897 a story to the effect that a
golden eagle shot In that year at Es
zeg. Slavonia, was found to have a
ring about Its neck engraved on which
were the arms of a Slavonian family
end the date 10-1(1.
In 1793 the Gentleman’s Magazine
told about a hawk, captured when fly
ing In the vicinity of the Cape of Good
Hope and taken by an Indian ship to
England, which wore a gold collar In
scribed:
‘‘This goodlle hawk doth belong to
his Most Excellent Majesty James.
King of England, A. D., 1610."
If this bird really escaped from Eng
land In the reign of James 183 years
elapsed between Its escape and its re
capture, and It had flown a distance of
6,500 miles away from Its former
j owner.
Have a Cheery Kitchen.
One should bear in mind that the
kitchen Is the engine room of the home,
and the comfort and happiness of the
family depend upon Its running smooth
ly and well Lack of system. Inade
quate equipment, inconvenient arrange
ment of furniture and utensils and the
total absence of beauty and cheer are
the things that make drudgery of
housework. Servants are as suscepti
ble to surroundings as their mistresses,
and the little aids to housework, such
as cheerful aspect and pretty furnish
Ings, do much to secure a more loyal
Interest and co-operation. A harmoni
ous environment In a kitchen will go
a long way toward making a happy
home. — Harriet Sisson Gillespie in
Mother’s Magazine.

**i shall never scold my husband

‘‘Tell me about It”
“Well, last night a burglar got Into
the house, and my husband knocked
him senseless with a poker. I’ve heard
several men speak of him as a poker
expert He has evidently been prac
ticing at the club for just such an
emergency.”—J udge.

Dry Climate, My Boy—Two Car
Ijoaris of Booze Seized.
Since they began to try to enforce
State prohibition in Georgia, aevernl
months ago, some queer things hav<
developed. Georgia went "dry" cighi
years ago, but bad liquor has beet,
plentiful and could alwuys be obtain
ed by the drinker. Made desperate,
the authorities are now making i
strenuous attempt to enforce the law
The following is from the Tipton
(Ga.) Gazette:
"The story is told that a whisluy
man had two car loads of wet goods
en route to Fitzgerald via the Allan
tic Coast Line and its connections at
Pinebloom, the Ocilla, Pinebloom K
Valdosta.
"Before its arrival the officers ovet
in Ben Hill suddenly evidenced ai>
alarming disposition to enforce the
new prohibition law. Several raids
were made and several thousand gal
lons of liquor seized, some of it ne
ing taken from cribs and barns near
the city of Fitzgerald.
“This condition of affairs alarmed
the man to whom the liquor was con
signed and the ‘S. O. S.’ sign was sent
out to stop two car loads en route,
estimated in value at $14,000.
“Iteport says the two cars weie
shifted off to a siding, awaiting in
structions. They contained 50 bar
rels of liquor in bulk and a number
of cases of bottled good. Over night,
the bottled goods disappeared, and
when the sheriff of (Toffee county
came next day to take formal charge
of the shipment only the barrel goods
were there. Near the siding where
the cars stood, was a corn Held, fr-sli
ly plowed. The sheriff set a guard
of four men over the cars the lirst
night, and lo, and behold! next morn
ing they saw seven barrels were gone
“Then the sheriff got busy. Acting
on a tip, he investigated the freshly
plowed cornfield and found between
the rows hundreds of bottles of ease
liquor, carefully planted end to end
along the middles, and then covered
with the plow. The 'plant1 was re
covered before it had time to sprout
and the bottled goods were also in
the toils of the law.1’—Adv.
