A WRESTLING CHOIR.
Unusual Form OF Music Introduced
in sunday school I'm
Augusta. Ga.

IT. Loclhart, superintendent of the
Rerean Baptist Sunday school Of Au-
gusta. Ga, is responsible for a new
departure in church music, and
through his efforts the innovation has
been eminently successful, reports the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Mr.. Lockhart obtained his idea from
sThe Burgomaster." which recently
appeared in Augusta. lie heard THE
Tale of the Kangaroo" whistled, and
when the audience Joined in the chorus
the effect struckhim as being so unique
thar he at once decided TO put il in
use in his choir. Mr.. Loekhart talked
the matter over with Rev. J. II. Oliver,
nastor Of the church. and II was de-
cided to try the plan the following sun
dav. The Sunday school numbers Sol
members. On the sunday when Mr..
Lockhart had planned to introduce
whistliur music the exercises were
opened bv a short talk on the sacred
moss Of an melody and harmony and
Of the praise that could be rendered TO
God in every form Of music. Mr.. Lock-
hart then told the pupils that they
were going 70 try new form OF music.
He said that. as a great many Of the
Young men who had really good voices
wopld not sing because they had never
beep trained in music. he had decided
10 form a whistling choir.
The superintendent had no diiiieulty
in inducing the boys and young men to
come forward and whistle.

THE ABYssINIAN CALENDAR,
Names of the Days and Years Are
Those Of snints-Method of
Reckoning Time.

A fearful and wonderful thing is
the Abyssiniau calendar. Nearly every
day is a saints day. and is known by
its proper name, and not by its date.
For instance, if you ask an Abyssinian
whether a certain thing happened on
the 14th of Hadar (the equivalent Of
our November 23), he will not under
stand what you mean; but If you say:
WAS it on Abuna Aragawe (the name
for that day. that you stole that
sheep?" a comprehending smile will
overspread his handsome and intelli-
gent features.
The year is divided into - months
of 30 days each, and at the end Of the
year, to make up the 365 days, are
added five days, called "Quagme."
Each year in succession is called
Matthews, Markos, Lukos, Johannis.
Matthews. Markos and Johannis have
each a "Quagme" of five days, but
Lukos, or leap year, has "Quagme"
of six days. The Abyssinian year be
gins on our September II, and. al
though dating as we do from the BIRTH
of Christ, they are nearly eight years
behind us in time-September /, 1900,
was in their calendar LIST Maskaram,
1898. Their method of reckoning the
hours of the day is also peculiar, to
our notions. They count the day as be-
ginning at sunrise, and not at mid
night. as we do. Thus our seven a. m.
is their 70 o'clock day: eight p. m. is
their one o'clock day. and our six p. m.
with us would be two o'clock night
with them, and our four a. m. would be
their ten o'clock night.

IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming In crease in an Already Prevailing
 Disease-Are Any Exempt?

At no time in the history of disease has there been such an alarming in crease in the number of cases of any particular malady as in trat of kidney and bladder troubles now preying upon the people of this country.
 Today we see relative, a friend or m acquaintance apparently well, and in a few days we may be grieved to learn of their serious illness or sudden death, caused by that fatal type of kidney trouble-Bright's disease.
 Kidney trouble often becomes ad- vanced into acute stages before the afflicted is aware Of it's presence; that is why We read of so many sudden deaths of prominent business and pro- fessional men, physicians and others They have neglected to stop the leak in time.
 While scientists are puzzling their brains to find out the cause, each irdi- vidual can, by a little precaution, avoid the chances of contracting dreaded ard dangerous kidney trouble, or eradicate it completely from their system If all ready afflicted. Many precious lives might have been. and many more can yet be saved, by paying attention to the kidneys
 It is the mission Of The Republican to benefit ita readers at every oppor- tunfty and therefore we advise all who have any symptoms of kidney or blad- der trouble to write today to Dr. TIil- mer & Co.,, Binghamton, N Y, for a free sample bottle 6f Swamp Root, the celebrated specific which is having such a great demand and remarkable success in the cure of the most distress ing kidney and bladder troubles.
