Herbert's Famous HV0n.

When Bishop Herbert's famous mis-
sionary hymn, From Greonlaud's Icy
Mountains" which he wrote in 1921,
first reached this country, n lady in
Charleston was much impressed with
the beauty of it, and particularly anX-
ious to find q tune suited TO IL. She
ransacked her music in vain, and
CHANGED TO remember that in bank
down the street was young clcrk who
had considerable reputation as II music
al genius. She sent her son to the
clerk with the request that he write a
tune TO fit il. In just half an hour the
boy came back with the hymn, and the
melody thus dashed off in hot haste Il
to-day sung all over the world. and Is
inseparably connected with the hymn
Tho young clerk was Lowell MasoA.

When her husband became one Of the
richest men in Pennsylvania Mrs.
Wanamaker remained just as quiet as
when he was poor man, only her
work OF charity grew larger and
larger. Mrs. Wanamaker is q Phila-
delphian, like her husband, and it will
be hard TO identify her with any other
place but Philadelphia. She was a
Miss Mary Brown of that city, daugh-
ter OF Thomas Brown and niece OF
Nathan Brown, then Mr.. Wanamak-
er's partner in the clothing business.
She was married to Mr.. Wanamakcr
about twenty-nine years ago, and is
about fifty years old, but looks
younger, The family circle consists
of the elder son Thomas, now twenty
eight years old, married to daughter
OF the late Samuel Welch who, under
Grant, was minister to England. the
second son Rodman, twenty-five years
old. and OF two daughters Minnie and
lilly. who are at college in Paris.
Mrs. Wanamaker is very handsome
woman, aboit five feet four in height,
quite plump. has a very pleasant
figure, her haiy Is brown. her eyes are
blush gray in o,'Ior and very calm
and quiet, her mouth is beaaeful, and
her teeth are perfect. She is wor-
shipped by her children; and her big
boys put their arms roun4 ""r 1nd
kiss ner as though she were girl
they loved. Mrs. Wanamaker built
and endowed the annex to the Presby-
terrain hospital in her native city at
cost of nearly 100000, and takes II
great interest, and lends helping
hand in all matters belonging to her
church. Mrs. Wanamaker's manners
are agreeable to every one she meets,
but she has no liking for gay society
or any kind of frivolity. She is a
very good musician and she still plays
and sings. She is sure TO make de.
lightful hostess in Washington.

Douches for Catarrh.

A word more about douches in
catarrh: No one ought to resort to
them unless advised to by physician,
and in cold weather one must be ex-
tremely cautious in their use. They
should under all circumstances be blood
warm, and for several hours after
employing them the person should re-
main in comfortable warm room,
otherwise he is quite certain to suffer
from ga cold in the head.n

A Little FORESIGHT.

A little foresight is OF more value
than much aftersight, says the Sunday
School Times. Foresight is the plan
ner, aftersight is the critic. OF our
deeds What painful scenes, embar-
easements, regrets, disappointments,
self-accusations, the habit of looking
ahead and Planning to meet and to ar
range the future will avoid? Time and
money spent in designing a building
perfectly, an definitely predetermining
principles and rules Of action, and
marking of limits before embarl1ing
in any new project, in mapping out
work, in arranging engagements, in
avoiding conflicts of duty and the inn
possible demand to be in two places at
one time, arc we'll spent. But the fore
thought is more difficult than the AZ
terthought. The one requires intense
application 10 systematic consideration
and search OF the field OF the possible;
the other suggests itself instantly and
naturally. Any body can see that the
door is In the wrong place after the
house is built, o. can say that the
speech was mistake after it had been
delivered and its effect noticed. 1t is
easier to criticise we'll than TO con.
struct we'll; but it is more useful tc
construct plan perfectly beforehand,
than to criticise it afterwards.

CURED OF HYDRoPHoBIA.
Remarkable Case In Which a Boy
Recovered from the Disease.

leCoNeTeQ from the DlSea Se.
A remarkable recovery from an at
tack OF hydrophobia is reported in
Wayne county, Ohio, says a Wooster
dispatch. The afflicted person is an
ll-year-old son OF Jacob BarSly, a we'll
TODD farmer who resides ten miles
northeast of here. Eight years ago the
boy, then =! years Of age, was bitten on
the upper lip by the family dog. The
dog appeared TO be all right at that
time, but later on manifested signs OF
madness and was killed. Nothing SCR
ious was thought OF the boys injury
and the wound soon healed up. Six
weeks ago young Barkly came home
from school and complained of of feel
ing i'll. A Physician was called in and
the boys ailment was supposed to be
muscular rheumatism, and his entire
muscular system appeared to be par
TALLY paralyzed. His condition became
worse and he became subject TO parox-
ysms, during which he would growl
and bark like n dog aud attempt TO
snap at and bite persons around him.
A consultation was held and the all
ment pronounced hydrophobia. The at
tending physicians looked upon the
poison OF rabies as a sclf-limiting infec-
ton, and tried to bridge the case over
the active period OF the poison. Large
doses OF aconite were given to blunt
the sensory nerves o. the throat and
esophagus; hydrate of choral to obvi-
ate restlessness and prolucs sleep, and
salicylate OF soda to counteract the poi
son If it depended upon ferment for
its action. The baroXysm3 grew less
frequent and it is now two weeks since
the patient experienced the last one.
He sits up in bed and does not evince a
desire 10 bite. His voice has regained
its natural sound, he is all right ment-
ally, and the physicians pronounce him
out OF danger.

purpose Of cooperating with the county
commissioners In improving the leading
roads in the county, have met with the best
of success in the city and county, and the
enterprise promises to be a complete sue

The detrimental effect of the bad condi-
ton of these roads upon the trade of Aus.
tin, and the decrease in the value of real
estate caused thereby in the city and
county, also the losses entailed thereby TO
our farming population, urges an early and
radical change in the existing system OF
road improvement. -
This movement has found the unqualified
approval of both the city and county and
is fast becoming of such magnitude as 70
surpass all expectation Of the parties who
inaugurated the scheme. Good county
roads are the most essential requirement
for thrifty and prosperous population.
and are also to great extent the standard
after which the county is estimated by
visitors and homeseekers.
