Friends of DR.. Lorimer in this city were

his church TO remain longer, and accord
ingly returned to AK -le- Bains, where he
died.
DR.. Lorimer was born at Edinburgh in
1888, but most of his boyhood days were
passed in London, where he was taken by
his stepfather a theatrical manager. In
London he worked at the theatre and at
tended day school, Although brought
up among theatr ical people, he did not
like the theatre, and had made up his mind
to leave the stage even before he came
to America, at the age of H..
For a time however he found Ii neces-
had been reared. He acted In stock com
pany at the Louisville Theatre and at
tracted the notice of Charlotte Cushman
and f. L. Davenport. A year. later he
was converted, was baptized by the Rev
w. w. Everts, a famous Baptist pr eachcr,
and left the stage 10 study for the minis
try. After three years at Georgetown
College, young Lorimer was ordained and
began his first pastorate at Harrodsburg,
Ky. where he married Miss Arabella Bur-
ford His rise az clergyman was rapid.
From Harrodsburg he went to Albany,
n. Y, then to Boston and next to Chicago
In the latter city he worked ten years,
building up an abandoned church and
helping to lay the financial foundation of
500, 900 for the University Of Chicago.
DR.. Lorimer left Chicago for short rest
in Europe, from which he as called to the
pastorate of Boston's fremont Temple
After the Temple burned, he preached
for three years In the great Music Hall,
drawing larger audiences than had Theodore
Parker.
After DR.. Lorimer began his work in New

what he thought the greater need
DR.. Lorimer was prominent In the work
of aiding the oppressed Jews in Russia
and arousing public indignation at the
Kishneff massacre. Besides his brilliant
preaching, he attracted attention by his
writings on chemistry and by his books OF
fiction and upon religious subjects, among
which the best known are "The Master Of
Millions, ~Isms Old and New :" 4The Argu-
ment of Christianity" and THE Great
Galileean"

RHEUMATISM IN HOGS.

II is hard TO say what causes rheu-
matisn among hogs, although it may
be generally found that they have oc-
cupied damp quarters at some time
during their growing period. Medi.
cine may CT may not do them good,
but it is safest not to fool with drugs.
The better plan is to let them have all
the charcoal and wood ashes they will
eat, supply them with clean, dry bed
d!ng and tempt them to exercise by
turning them out on a good range,
where the grass is thick and fresh.
All corn should be t1ken from them
during the summer and the feeding
OF grain should be confined to mid
dllngs or bran with more or less clean
slop in which vegetables are literally
placed. Clean water for drinking may
be supplied, but no inducement offered
the animals TO root or TO wallow.
Swine suffering with rheumatism
should be kept in lot by themselves
and be given special care. -.
