Hymns You Ought to Know
A PARTING PRAYER.
BY Rev. Frederick W. Faber.

1t is not long since this hymn passed
through period OF the same kind of
criticism that is now being given to
Lead, Kindly Light" Partisan preju.
dIces easily blind minds incapable of
appreciating poetic truth, but the ver-
dict OF the people settles these things
in the end. The fact that Faber' s
evening hymn is now sung at the
close of the service in churches of all
faiths and in all lands well illustrates
the potency of religious songs to over
come sectarian differences. 1t was writ
ten in 1852 and published under the
title, |:Evening Hymn at the Offeratory," 4"
the reference being to the congregation
of st. Philip. Nerl, which was founded
by Faber OF Birmingham, England, and
afterwards removed to London.
Sweet Savior! bless us ere we 90.
Thy word into our minds instill:
And make our lukewarm hearts so glow
With lowly love and fervent will.
Through life's long day and deaths dark
night,
Q gentle Jesus, be our light,
0 gentle Jesus, be our light.
The day is done, its hour has run;
And thou hast taken count of all;
The scanty triumphs grace hath won,
The broken vow, the frequent fall.
Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways
True absolution and release;
And bless US, more than in past DAYS,
With purity and inward peace.
DO more than pardon; give us Joy,
Sweet fear, and sober liberty,
And loving hearts without alloy,
That only long to be like thee.
For all We love, the poor, the sad,
The sinful, unto thee we call;
o let thy mercy make us glad.
That art our Jesus and our All.

Life Saved BY Quick Wit.

"Quick wit is of more value 10 an
officer than being quick shot," said
q policeman in Kansas City, Kss., re-.
Gently, reports the Star. ~ know a
negro policeman who saved Q woman's
life by knowing what to say at the
right minute. 1t was this way: A
man became crazy one morning with
knife in his hand and he ran into
the kitchen where his wife was At
work. The woman ran into tho yard,
screaming for help. The crazy hus-
band caught her, and was standing
over her with appraised knife, when Q
negro policeman came around the cor.
ner about 20 feet away. He could not
reach the man in time to save the wo-
man, for the knife was in the act OF
descending, and to shoot might result
in injury to the woman.
"God Almighty tells me to kill
you,' the crazed man said.
"Stopp cried the negro policeman.

stop!'
"The knife fell from the hand Of
the insane man, as he turned his eyes
to the sky from whence be supposed
the voice had come. Before he learned
how he had been tricked, the police
man had handouts ON him."

pondered. An idea came to him. He

Some Remarkable Instances Of instructive
knowledge Of Localities.
Our Dumb Animals.
A remarkable story is told of q dog
"A pointer-owned by . gentleman
in Cincinnati, who three times gave
him away to friends at some distance
from the city, only to find him back
again, once through q binding SNOW
storm, very shortly after his Danish
ment. 1t was resolved to experiment
with him in order to test the fact
whether this was the result of memory
or of some keeuly developed scent, or
other sense not known. He was ac-
cordingly dosed With morphine, and
taken to . town in Kentucky one hum
dred and afty miles away. In twenty.
eight hours he was at his masters
door. 1t was thought, however, that
he might have recovered from his
lethargy in time to see in what direc.
ton he was going, and 90 had found
his way back by simply keeping to the
railroad track. He was. therefore.
dosed with ether, put in q closed
basket, and taken northeast and south.
east. then kept in q dark shed over
night, and let loose in the morning.
He at once set out in Q straight line
and on Q run-not at all like q dog
that had lost his way-crossed two
broad rivers, and three steep mountain
ranges, through five large towns and Q
network of roads and crossroads. Al
though he had never been in that part
Of the country before, in four days he
reached Cincinnati again. He could
not have remembered or known any
thing about his journey down, for he
was unconscious the whole of the
time. What, then, induced him to
start in the right direction, and keep
it till he arrived home? This ques.
ton has long puzzled the nsturalists,
for stranger instances even than this
of animals finding their way home
have occurred.

Z HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. !
4 Practical suggestions by Experienced Z
Cooks and housekeepers. .


There is no dye that does not even.
tually injure the hair.
Milk used instead OF water makes
puddings and pastry light.
If woman who is trying to gain
flesh is willing to swallow it, cod liver
oil is fattening.
Salt sprinkled on any substance that
Is butning ON a stove will stop the
smoke and smell.
WOolen clothes should be washed in
very hot suds and not rinsed. Luke.
warm water shrinks them.
When machining hard materials,
such as serge or holland, oil the thread.
This will prevent it constantly snap.
ping.
For people who suffer from rheuma-
tism or gout, potatoes should always
be cooked in their skins, as if peeled
they lose their most valuable salts in
cooking.
To clean zinc dip a piece OF flannel
in paraffin and with it we'll rub this
zinc, which should then be washed
with hot water and soap to remove the
smell OF the oil and polished with q
dry cloth.
Green vegetables and salads will
counteract tendency to pimples and
other skin eruptions. By the way,
sufferers from eczema should eat epar-
ingly of fruit, which as a rule, con.
tains too much acid to be suitable for
them.
To Make Waterproof Glue.-A glue
which will resist the action of water
is made by boiling half a pound of
common glue in one quart of skinned
milk. Another method is to soak the
glue till soft in cold water, and then
to dissolve it on the stove in linseed
oil.
Brush Them Every Night.-Shoes
will look better and wear better if they
are never put away dusty. The dust
seems to injure the leather if it is al
lowed to remain there and it takes but
moments trouble to remove every
particle as soon as one enters the
house.
In making mustard plaster no wa.
ter should be used, but the mustard
mixed with the white of an egg. The
result will be plaster that will draw
perfectly, but will not produce blis-
ter even on the skin OF an infant, no
matter how long it is allowed to re-
main upon the part.
A dissgreeable form of erythems ia
flushing of the face, which occurs
chiefly after eating, and is due to i'm.
proper diet, hasty feeding, overeating
or drinking cold fluids. General neg
lect OF the health, lack Of exercise and
living in badly ventilated rooms, are
all causes OF blotchy skins.
To clean ivory ornaments, brush
them with q toothbrush, which should
not be very new, rubbed with soap.
Rinse in lukewarm water and dry
thoroughly. Then brush the orna-
ments again till the luster appears. 1t
will be increased if q little alcohol be
poured on the brush. If the ivory is
very yellow set it in the sun to bleach.
