HOW FINE HYMN WAS WRITTEN.
"onward, Christian Soldiers" Com.
posed for School Festival.


Probably greater hymn never had
a more humble origin than Onward.
Christian Soldiers" which is one OF
the most popular of our modern
hymns. In the October Delineator
Allan Sutherland writes:
"A great school festival was to be
held in a Yorkshire village on Whit.
Monday, 1865, and the scholars of Hor

Rev. Sabine Bar!ng-Gould was curate
were invited to attend. AS the place
of the celebration was some distance

be an excellent plan to have his schol.

pirate and stirring hymn. Fortunate.
ly for our hymnology, he could find
nothing in his song books suitable
for such an occasion so from sheer
necessity he sat down on the Saturday
evening preceding tire celebration and
composed this great professional
hymn. little dreaming that he had pro,

her intention Of opening hospital for

house was placed at her disposal. She
equipped the place from her private
purse and took with her the servants

In 1862 the confederacy promulgated

Of the confederacy, asking to make an

The commission was promptly made

President DAVIS wrote that she would
be entitled to draw pay as an officer
and that she would have that money
with which to aid in the work she
was doing. Miss Tompkins accepted

THE MAJORS TITLE

Several years ago there resided in
this city a portly colored man who was
known as Major Dabney. One day an
army officer who knew Dabny well, ad-
dressed the colored man as follows:
"Dabney, I have often wondered
how you came by the title of major.
Did you receive 1t because of service in
the civil war, or is it title conferred
by reason Of your connection with the
National Guard9'
"No, sah,' replied Dabney with a
broad smile. II nebber sarved min

In this connection it is said that many
of the old-time colored families have
given their sons such Christian names
as "Colonel,' "Doctor,' - General, -

young colored Dlan who has the cogno-

THE PERFUME CURE

One American girl who spent the
summer in Paris and who went thru
what the Parisians said was the hot
test season in many years, with sun
strokes common enough to make an
American feel at home, has returned
with reports of new antidote for heat
that the Parisienne has developed. The
Paris fair ones call it cure 1.-THE
perfume cure. It is meant to prevent
sunstroke and has been elaborated for
dozen special nervous ailments. The
Parisienne says the scents blown from
an atomizer have the effect of evolv
ing cooling breezes, so, while her. men
relatives partake Of iced drinks she
seeks out the atomizer or patronizes
the pennv-in-t he-slot machine Of course
the perfumers are fostering the fad.
The American girl who reports it says
that the various perfumes are classified
as follows: Rhine violet, cures nervous
irritability; palm violet, cures neural
gle headache; wallfower, cures drowsi-
ness; eau de cologne, cures faintness;
lavender water, cures congested head
ache; hops and poppy, induces sleep and
pleasant dreams; carnation, revives one
and stimulates in hot weather; ily-of-
the valley, quiets the nerves; hyacinth,
has the effect of Turkish bath.

Charity never covered so great
multitude of sins as temperament is
made to cover.
The dictionary defines temperament
as a mixture of qualities, internal con-
stitution and disposition.
Usually, when we speak of a woman
with temperament, we mean one with
unlimited capacity for making herself
and others miserable-a fne-strung.
highly-sensitized creature whose ideals
are bound to be higher than she or any
one else can come up to. It is the ma
tture of things that she should spend her
life seeking for what she will never
find, suffering disappointment and be-
ing swept by alternate waves of ex-
quisite Joy and anguish.
! Her capacity for suffering is as great
as her capacity for happiness; both are
very poignant. Only, living in the
world that she does, her chances for
unhappiness are ten times greater, and
therefore the woman with temperament
rarely lives serene, contented life
She has moods of very deep depres-
sion and gloom; she is subject to nerv-
perience sweeps, the strings of her ma
ture so violently that they tremble long
after. Her joys are so intense as to
be painful. They plunge her into a re-
action of, gloom and morbidness. So
one extreme is succeeded by another.
She is not happy. She does not make
others happy. And over all her lack
of serenity and usefulness, we stretch
the mantle of charity and call it tenn
permanent.
Now, the question u.s. has tempera
ment a right to spoil life like that
For spoil it it surely does.
Strong friendship, a happy marriage
are impossible for such disposition.
But is it not possible for nature like
this to bring to bear upon itself such
forces as will tend to make it sane and
nationals
It is perfectly true that those whom
nature has gifted with a sunny, optim-
istic temperament cannot understand
the struggles Of one not SO gifted. JOY
BUSINESS and good cheer are infinitely
easier to some than to others. A happy
temperament is a blessed possession and
| one to be envied.
But the hone for the woman who
was not SO gifted by nature lies in the
fact that to large extent she can cul
tivate it. Even tho she cannot attain
to the genuine article, the mere sem
blance Of it will serve as good substi-
tute and go far toward the actual at
tainment of cheerfHlness. The less the
gloomy woman broods. the less she will
find to be. unhappy about.
The unhappy temperament may be
born with US, but the intellect and the
soul can master it The struggle may
be hard, but it will pay.
We not only have no right to darker
! the lives Of others. but we have no right
