SOME POPULAR HYMNS

1t is said Of hymns, and it is more true.
perhaps, than Of any form of poetry, that
they owe their origin to some sudden
inspiration that is seldom repeated. The
great "Te Deum." that poem of Chris
tianity. Is said to have been first sung at
the baptism of st. Augustine. And it was
also the first hymn that Columbus and
his sailors sang when they raised the
flag of Spain on American shores.
"Rock of Ages" hymn that has been
ten by Augustus Toplady in 177S. The
auh.,t-'* life was a troubled one; his
Greco >stderwent changes; and his tenn
per W+sA fiery. The better part of his life
sesnlex to have blossomed forever in his
hymn.
Sarah Fuller composed the famous
hymn, NEARER My God to Thee"
A mother of large family, burdened
with many cares, was observed to walk
each day to a. grove where she spent a
good ehare of her time. Her neighbors
and friends wondered how a woman so
busy with so many household duties
cousa find time to take her solitary walks
each day That woman was Phoebe
Hensdale Brown, and II Love to Steal
Away" was the result of these medita-
tons.
DR.. VIM. Hunter when a member Ct
the old Pittsburg Methodist Episcopal
conference, was located in the city of
AtOSOuIB. Oue udy, while on the street,
he heard a sweet voice Of a child singing
song which was familiar to all patrons
or the low theaters.- The melody was an
attractive one, and the child was golden
haired and fair. The poetic fancy Of the
doctor was shocked to hear such words
from the lips of an innocent child-beauti-
full as an artists dream of an angel. He
at once composed the words OF the hymn.
"Joyfully, Joyfully, Onward We Move"
Which was set to the music of the song
he had heard.

Fred W. Upham, president of the

Influenza Caused by Ozone.

On one occasion the writer walked

strong wind was blowing right from
the lake. The bodily condition was as
near perfect as could be. and yet in
less than five minutes there was every
evidence of having caught an extreme
ly hard cold The severe influenza con-
tinued until. on walking away. in less
than 500 feet, it disappeared as IL by
magic. 1t is very certain that the tenn
perature had nothing to do with this.
nor the wind: but the Influenza WAS
directly due 10 the abundant ozone in
the air BY inquiry il was learned that
hundreds of residents who had lived
upon the immediate edge of the lake
had been obliged 10 move back three
or four miles in order TO relieve them
selves from such experiences.
Physicians readily admit that it is
not always possible 10 say why one
catches" cold: ii certainly cannot al
WAYS be because of undue exposure
or change in temperature, but proba-
bly, also TO changes in the electric con-

should lead to the EXTREMIST caution

THE FUR CROP.
How Animals Are Trapped In North
western Connecticut.

The method of trapping foxes near
Winsted, Conn, is unique. A large
stone is placed in the centre of pool,
lust out of the foxes reach. On the
stone is a piece of meat for bait In
the water nearby a eel-jawed trap Is
hidden and piece of green moss four
or five inches square put on the pan
of the trap. The trap is under water
and the green moss hides 1t. The fox
doesn't like going into the water in
this weather, and when he sees the
bait he figures out that he can get 1t
by jumping on the moss, but he doesn't
succumb all at once. He begins to trot
around the pool, trying to find some
other way of reaching the bait. II he
is very hungry, or very young he viii
stop after a few laps and. standing
on the moss, get himself Immediately
caught.
The trap is not fastened to any
thing, and the fox carries 1t out. but
he cannot go far with it, owing TO the
pain inflicted by the jaws and to its
weight. He is soon tracked down
and captured by the hunter.
The old willy foxes are not deceived
by the green patch of moss. Some
times they will trot around the pool
until they have worn path about 1t.
A coon which has less intelligence
than a fox, can always be trapped by
the pool and moss game, but even
when trapped he is not always caught,
for he will gnaw his leg off, and. leav-
ing Ii in the trap, get away with the
rest of himself

year are as follows: Raccoon skins.
