How Abide With Me-" Came To Be
Written.

Henry Fra ucis Lyle. author
of that matchless composition
Abide with Me-" for twenty
years was a sufferer from con-
sumption During this time he
was the minister over parish
composed largely of fsherfolk
in coast town OF England. He
labored faithfully among his
people, yet he always longed 10
do something that would have
an influence for the good Of hu-
mainly after his death-a long
ing which found expression 10
beautiful poem, The story Of
how this desire came to be full
filled through writing abide
with Me-" is related in the Feb
ruary Delineator, in an interest
ing paper by Allan Switzerland
giving the history and romance
of the famous hynn.
"Inthe autumn of 1847 his ply
sicians informed Mr.. Lyle that
it would be necessary for him to
relinquish his work and spend
the Winter in Italy. When the
/ he last Sabbath of his stay in
England (September 5, 1247) ar
rived, he determined to preach
once more to his little flock
and to celebrate with them
the Lords Supper. In spite of
the protest of friends, he car
ried out his intentions, although
scarcely able to stand IN the
chancel. In words of melting
tenderness he pleaded with his
people to live holy lives, and
when he took his leave of them
there was scarcely dry eye in
the church. The day had been
perfect and in the late afternoon
recovering somewhat from the
strain of the service in the
church, he walked slowly and
feebly down the. terraced walk
to the water he loved so well
and which he was about to
leave forever. The spell Of the
hour was upon the minister

Where They Sneak Latin.

Although it is usually considered
that Latin is a dead" language, it is
very much alive in at least one part
of Europe. In the central part of the

arItIsher,s "stayIna" ouaIItIes.

There is, perhaps, one thing that
"-doners have a capacity for doing
letter than any other people in the
world, and that Is in waiting patiently
outside theater, or, indeed, any pub
lie place of entertainment, until the
doors are opened. Everybody takes
his place quietly and orderly In the
queue without any husthng or jostling.
and public opinion is entirely opposed
to any prominence being given in the
line to a late conner.

Various Wrestling Rules.

Ancient Greeks and Romans wrest-
led either in a state Of complete nudity
or with a strip of cloth around their
loins. Modern wrestlers wear skin
tights on their lower limbs, with arms
and torso bare. In Turkey, however,
leather drawers are the rule. and the
grip may be put upon them. In Switz.
sriand the drawers or the belt may be
yrasped in order to secure a hold.

and threw 1t into a swamp, SO that
nobody could ring 1t any more.

Value of 2 Hearty LAUGH.

Health, an English publication, says:
1T is good to laugh. There is prob
ably not the remotest corner or little
inlet of the minute blood vessels Of
the body that does not feel some wave
let from the great CONFUSION produced
by hearty laughter shaking the cen
trail man. The blood moves more rap
idly-probably its chemical electric or
vital condition is distinctly modified,
it conveys a different impression to all
the organs of the body as it visits
them on that particular mystic jour-
ney when the man is laughing from
what it does at other times. The
time may come when physicians shall
prescribe to a torpid patient so many
peals of laughter to be undergone at
such and such a time"

Oisacreeable Experiences.

Passengers who left Washington for
this city at 1850 o'clock last night had
a frigid experience before they reached
their homes. The train was sidetracked
at Lloyd's to allow the passage OF a
north bound train, and after it had
remained on the siding some time the
lights went out and the electric heaters
refused to work. II soon became ex-
tremely cold, and some male passengers
started fire on the floor of one of the
cars, feeding it with newspapers. The
flames assembled almost TO the roof OF
the car. 1t was subsequently learned
that the electric current was too weak
n s,oye the cars or the train which was
suuoosed to be coming AT this juno
ture most of the passengers left the
stalled train and proceeded to this city
on foot. A binding snow storm was
raging at the time, while the wind BLEW
keenly from the northwest. People
who left Washington Oh an electric
train at 1890 last night say they did
not reach this city until O'Clock this
morning.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only q symptom ofsome disease,
and the disease is what YOU should cure,
then tie cough will stop of ITSELF The
most common cause of coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, etc, are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves il by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
obstructed the breathing and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the throat.
1t also opens the secretions and efiec
tually and permanently cures the cold as
well as the cough. For sale by Gibson
