The Great Southwestern Music House.

The Great Southwestern Music House.
 Considering the natural advantages of the two places, and the enterprising character of their business men, it is but natural that Memphis, Tenn, and Little Rock, Ark, should be the commercial centers and great supply depots of their own and several adjoining states. Among the business houses of the two cities there is none that stands higher or better de- serves the trade it commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of H. G. Hollenberg. A business career fl over thirty years in Memphis and of six years in Little Rock, during which these houses have virtually controlled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee, Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above all southern competi. tors. These houses carry the largest and most complete stosk of the lest m akes of pianos and organs, sheet music and all goods pertaining 10 their line, and are prep lred to fill orders without any delay, ana at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east, freight considered. All goods handled by H. G. Nollenherg are comprised in neat catalogue which will be mailed free to any address. Par ties contempt ating the purchase of a piano, or organ, or musical merchandise of any description, should not tail to ob- tain Hollenbsrg's prices hefor. ordering elsewhere. Address, H. G. Hollenberg, Memphis, Tenn, or Little Rock, Ark.

LUST AS YOU ARE."
Youths Companion.l

Some fifty years age that eminent min ister, Rev. Ca ,ar Malan, of Geneva, wal a guest of the Elliots, a well-to.do family in the west end of London.
 One evening, in conversation with the daughter Charlotte, he wished to know il she was Christian. The young lady re sented his question, and told him that re ligion was a matter which she did mol wish to discuss. Mir. Malan replied, with his usual sweetness of manner, that he would not pursue the subject then, if i, displeased her, but he would pray that she might give her heart to Christ, and become useful worker for Him."
 Several days afterwards the young lady apoloeized for her abrupt treatment ot the minister, and confessed that his ques- ton and his parting remark had trou oled her.
 But do not know how to find Christ J she said l want you to help me"
 "Come to Him just as you are," said Mir. M alan.
 He little thought tdat one day tha, simple reply would be repeated in song by the whole Christian world.
 Further advice resulted in opening Charlotte's mind to spiritual light, and her lie of devout activity and faith beg an. She possessed literary gifts, and having assumed charge of the Yearly Remem- 6raneer on the death of its edlsor, she in- serted several original poems (wlthout her name) iu making up her first number. One of the poems was:
 Just as I am, without one plea,
 But that Thy blood was shed for nc, And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee.
 0 Lamb of God, come!"
 The words of Pastor Malan, realized in her own experience, were of course the writer's inspiration.
 Beginning thus its public history iu the columns of an uppretending religious magazine, the little anonymous hymn, with its sweet counsel to troubled minds, found its way into devout persons scrap books, then into religious circles and chapel assemblies, and finally into the hymnals of the "church universal" Some time after its publication a philan- thropic lady, struck by its beauty and spiritual value, had it printed on a leaflet and sent for circulation through the cities and towns of the kingdom, and in con- nection with this an incident at an Eng lish watering place seems to have first revealed it's authorship to the world. Miss Elliot being in feeble health, was staying at Torquay, in svonshire, under the care of an eminent physician. One day the doctor, who was Christian man, placed one of these leaflets Tn his patients hands, saying he felt sure she would like it. The surprise and pleasure were mu- tual when she recognized her own hymn, and he discovered she was its author.
 Rev. Duncan Morrison, from whom we gather the above facts, sends a Latin translation of Charlotte Etliot's hymn to the Montreal Witness, and he says of it: ' Perhaps there's no hymn ln the lsn- guage that has been more blessed h the raising up of those that are bowed down. Its history has been wonderful. It is surely leaf from the tree oi lie which is for the healing of the nations"

The Danger of Contagion Tn Throat
 Troubles.


 Troubles.
 The medical editor of Ba6yho0d writes A recent case within our knowledge, in which fatal diphtheria developed upon what had been believed to be simple quinsy, suggests a few words regarding the duty Of isolating any case of sore throat where there are other children in the house Without entering upon any disputed points regarding diphtheria, it is generally agreed that the distinctive visible sign of 1t is its peculiar mem- branous deposit. A case may present clearly the conditions ot "co nmon sore throat" and suosequ enty diphtheria be unmistakaby present. For our purpose it is unnecessary to discuss whether such cases are diphthertic from the frs, or become so. The point for parents to know Is that the sequence of dangerous symptoms upon those apparently slight is not uncommon, and that 1t Is better for them to isolate q child fifty times unnec- essarily than to be neglectfut once.
 We would urge, then. that, if at all possible. every child suffering from sore throat be isolated until it is distinctly convalescent Physicians are often em. odtI I%SScu, III uf+lnS the lSolatlon Ot patients, by the tim,dity or suspicious ness of parents. If in such case as has been described the physician recom- mends the precaution of isolation, the family, if of the timid type, Is at once thrown in.o panic, assuming tha: the physician really considers that the case IS diphtheria or that he expects it will prove to be, and tha. he is concealjng the facts, while really he is only taking proper sanitary precautions.
 Other persons, on the other hand, i'm mediately interpret the physicians frank statement ot his reasons for isolating a supposed simple case as an evidence of want of knowledge on his part. They apparently think that to the properly educated physician diseases are as dis tinct and as easily discrimiuated as coins of different denominations. With such people the only course is to strongly ad- wise isolation, and to give the reason for 1t. and to let them take the responsibility ot negicctlng the suggestion if they choose to do so. Intelligent people usually are grateful for the warning, even If Ii prove to have besn unnecessary, and although they sometimes chaff the phy- sician as fussy."

The Criticism of Flushing Bride.

The bride had never been ip a picture gallery, probably had never seen an oil p+inting in her life. We thought tha, opinions from this child of nature would be unique, doubtless interesting but my best efforts to draw her out were unavail- ing. Just as l was about to give ber credit for knowing when to keep her mouth shut, by not talking on a topic of which she was ignorant, she gave long, sweep ing glance around, and rose to the occa- sion In a criticism on a par with many professional opinions on pictures. She said: "S Some of these paintings has go, beautiful frames, hain't they?"

The Japanese people require man to give six months notice betore publishing magazine. This gives the people op- portunity to bolt their doors and load their guns against the visit of the sub. scription solicitors, and then, as the average magazine only lasts about three months, it really saves the publisher three months expenses, because the magazine dies that long before it comes out.
