ABOUT HYMN-WRITERS.
Forgetfulness of the World of Those Who
Have Written Our Sweetest Songs.

Forgetfulness of the World of Those Who
Have Written Our Sweetest Songs.
The personal identity and circum.
stances of those VINO have written the
favorite hymns of the people is SUBJ
ject full of interest to thousands of peo-
pie both within and without the
churches Edward Box says that as a
rule hymns are not high-priced commod-
tiles in the literary market, the royal
ties are small, aad the authors name is
generally lost sight of, even if the hymn
achieves worldwide fame. "As an ex-
ample, question whether there are one
hundred persons to-day who know that
the author of The Sweet Bye-and-Bye,
Is living in an obscure Illinois town, and
not amid the greatest luxury, either.
Tens of thousands, perhaps millions of
people, know the hymn; how many ever
think of DIR. S. Fillmore Bennett, its
aged author? The hymn has brought
him almost no revenue and even less
fame. Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks is
another instance, living in small in
terror New York town, compelled to re-
sort to her pen for living, yet who has
not sung her world-famous hymn, L
Need Thee Every Hour?' Prof. Gil
more of the University of Rochester,
rarely receives credit as the author of
his well-known lines, He Leadeth Me.
Fanny Crosby, she of hundreds of
hymns that are sung every Sunday by
thousands of lips, lives in a side street
in New York City almost forgotten. AL
though blind and helpless, she is happy
in the religion which fills her mind and
soul. There seems something in these
cited cases which is not altogether right
this entire forgetfulness of busy
world OF those who have made our
sweetest songs. And 30 | say there is
but little encouragement in the writing
OF hymns. Not only is the author poorly
paid for the work, then almost entirely
forgotten, but the additional stigma is
offered of having the hymn embodied
into hundreds of collections without a
cent of revenue accruing to the author.
The small pittanco given to the author
when the hymn is first published is Oft
times the only remuneration. Chicago

JUSTICE At THE ANVIL.
A Blacksmith EDtertains n Motion to Dis
miss "a Prosecution.

miss u Prosecution.
In the spring of 1860, in small town
in Iowa, blacksmith was elected justice
of the peace. He was an honest, indus
trious fellow, a far better blacksmith
than he was lawyer. Shortly after he
was elected q case of assault and battery
came up in his court. Knowing that he
could not afford to rent a separate room
in which to hold court, he informed the
lawyers on both sides to bring their case
right into the blacksmith shop and he
would hold conrt there. He also said
that for the time being he would give
up making horseshoes and attend
strictly to the duties of his new Office.
The lawyers departed and informed
every one wheye the justice was going
to hold court. When the hour APP
preached the smithy was crowded. Tho
prosecuting witness and defendants, ac-
companied by their attorneys, at the
appointed time put in an appearance,
and the blacksmith took off his leather
apron, raped on the anvil and stated
that the court was open.
The lawyers for the defense made a
motion TO dismiss the suit, as it was
simply the outcome of spite.
Rapping on the anvil the son of Vul-
can put the following motion to the
spectators; Gentlemen, you have heard
the motion to dismiss the suit. All who
are in favor of it will signify by saying
ave." A rousing reply was in the
affirmative, and the blacksmith ad-
journed court, picked up his hammer
and resumed work. The attorney for
the prosecution was dumbfounded at
such proceeding, but his protestations
amounted to nothing and the decision
of the court stood.-Leadville Herald.

KILLED BY GLOVES.
One of the Most Singular Cases of Poison.
Ing Ever Recorded.


Rarely, it may be thought, has more
singular case of accidental death been
recorded than that which recently threw
much esteemed family residing in tho
environs of st. Petersburg into mourn
ing. A young lady in perfect health,
and with the brightest of futures before
her, was among the guests invited to a
ball, and, her toilet completed, she drew
on pair of long gloves, reaching above
the elbows. Scarcely half an hour after
wards she felt considerable irritation
and pain in her arms and hands, to
which, however, for the moment-taken
up with pleasures of the evening--she
paid but little attention. On returning
home her suffering increased, and the
following day her hands and arms be-
came covered with sores, which were at
tributed by the doctor called in to blood
poisoning. A week later the poor girl
died, after severe suffering, and despite
the efforts made to save her. The fatal
gloves have been handed over for analy-
sis, the conjecture being that the ani-
NAL with the skin OF which they were
made was in some way or other diseased,
and that the skin used had been imper-
tectly cleansed. In any case, If this con-
lecture prove correct, measures will
doubtless be taken to ascertain, II possi-
'ible, whether other gloves, similarly
contaminated, are on sale.-London
Standard.

Some Points About Mushrooms.

1t is popular error that mushrooms
grow 10 their full size during single
night and that they dissolve and vanish
after the sun shines on them. They are
rapid in growth and rapid in decay; but
the same mushroom may be watched
growing and expanding for two or three
days, and then gradually decaying away.
Much depends upon the dampness or
dryness of the season. In some seasons
they are exceedingly plentiful, while at
other times they are comparatively rare.
This also is believed to depend chiefly
on climatic conditions. 1t Is not IN
usual for cultivated mushrooms to be-
come attacked by parasitic mould,
which renders them unfit for food. This
misfortune rarely happens to the wild
form, until 1T is in process of decay.
The catacombs OF Paris are noted for
their production of mushrooms in inn
mense quantities. From the Merry caves
as many as 5000 pounds are sometimes
sent to market daily. We have heard of
crop being grown in hat-box.--Pall
Mall Gazette. .tfNf.

WRETCHED RICH MEN.
They Have Immense Fortunes But TaII
No Interest In Life.

They Have Immense Fortunes But Take
No Interest In Life.
One of the saddest things in the
world next to real poverty or distress is
the sight of man who has acquired
boundless wealth and lost his happiness
and his capacity to enjoy what money
secures. Such cases are by no means
rare. They are very common. ! saw a
man to-day whose income is believed to
be about 81, 100 week, whose whole
day was spoiled because cabman over
charged him one dollar for a short ride.
OF course the millionaire knew he could
not possibly spend his income, butnever-
theless the idea of losing a dollar, of
being defrauded out of it, of getting
nothing in return for it, was almost
agony to him. Many a man in making a
great fortune completely loses the
power of enjoying it, This is one of the
worlds compensations. The happiness
of sound sleep and good digestion is
often enjoyed by man with an empty
purse, while the millionaire epicure
has neither painless digestion by day
nor healthy rest at night.
/ saw one afternoon one of Philadel-
pHld llc oHe VI IuOSo
wretched old millionaires who have spent
the best years of their life getting con-
troll of a bank or brewery, or boom of
some sort. He is sitting back in corner
of his swell landau now and wondering
what he did it for. He has fine old
face, heavy gray mustache, bushy eye
brows and goldrimmed eyeglasses. He
is dressed carefully, and his face is alb
solutely empty of interest in any thing.
He can't even work any more, because
he has so much money that all motive is
gone. His wife! o, we'll, he loved his
wife long ago, and he bows to her now
when he meets her in the hallway of his
house, and they never had quar- eel.
Children? Yes, several of them. They
used to be pretty, and were fond of him
when they were babies. Then boarding
school, college, balls, parties and
checks, checks Now he hardly knows
any thing about them. All sympathy is
lost between them. Living under tho
same roof, their hearts are always wide
apart. In fact he doubts whether he has
q heart at all.-Cor. Philadelphia Press.
