HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS

THE COMING KING
BY John CennAck.

ALTHOUGH this hymn is frequently cred
tied to Charles Wesley there seems little
doubt but that he deserves credit only for
placing 1t in his collection, while the Rev.
John Cennick (Reading, England, Dec IL.
1718-London, July 4, 1879 was it's au-
thor. 1t appears in his collection Of hymns
before Wesley published 1t. The hymn is
interesting principally because Of the pop
ularity 1t once enjoyed; not long ago it
was thought to hold third place among
all the hymns in the English tongue.
While it is still frequently sung in Great
Britain and in her colonies, it Is certainly
declining in favor. for it's thought does
not greatly interest our day.l
Lo! he comes with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slainl
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of his train
Hallelujah!
Jesus comes, and comes to reign.
Every eye shall now behold him,
ROBBED in dreadful majesty!
Those who set at naught and sold him.
Pierced and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply Wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see!
Yea, amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne!
Savior, take the power and glory;
Make thy righteous sentence known!
Men and angels
Kneel and how to thee alone!

How ''Uncle Jack'' Smoked n Cigar
with the Dead General.
Since the mastering out of our dear
old commander many are the incidents
related by the old soldiers of his great
ness OF soul and kind consideration
for the welfare and comfort Of those
placed under his command. The fol-
lowing was related to a knot of old
veterans as they stood on the corner
of our little village discussing with
sad hearts the closing scenes in that
cottage at Mount MacGregor.

How We Did During the War.


At the outbreak of the war we had
clothing of every description, bed and
table linen, and, indeed, dry goods OF
all kinds, in sufficient quantities to
have served our family beautifully
during the whole time; but mother,
like a great many others, thought the
struggle would last only few months,
or year at most, and with this i'm
preston firmly implanted in her mind,
she gave with a lavish hand, dOnat-
ing many articles that we afterWard
sorely needed for ourselves. She had
the carpets all taken up, cut in quart
ers, and hemmed, and the damask
window curtains taken down, and
these were made into coverlets. All
our heavy worsted dresses were con-
verified into overskirts; the linen
sheets, table cloths, towels, and nap
l1ins were all scraped into lint, and
these, together with every blanket,
shawl, and scarf that we possessed, we
sent to the Confederate soldiers.
In the course Of time our supplies
ran short; and then it was amusing
and instructive, too, to see our at
tempts at making our own wearing ap-
pare1, which we had to do, from hats
to shoes. Previous to the war the
large cotton planters of the South
manufactured nothing at home, every
thing required on their immense plan
tations, from the thousand-dollar piano
and ight-hundred-dollar carriage to
the pins and needles and thread,
everything came direct from New Or
leans, the great metropolis of the
South; consequently we girls, just
fresh from a first-class boarding
school, knew very little of the stern
realities of life, and were novices, in
deed, when we first attempted the new
role of manufacturers. But with us
it was do or die, make or do without,
and with this incentive to exertion
we proved apt scholars, and were not
long in achieving a degree of perfec-
ton in our different lines, surprising
even to ourselves.
In the manufacture of our hats we
used palmetto. We gathered this while
in the bud, when it was pure white,
before it had expanded or turned
green. These long, spear-like buds,
which usually measured two feet in
length, we carefully pulled apart, and
then dried them in the shade. We then
tore them into shreds about an eighth
of an inch wide, which was done
with a common pin or needle. After
ward we braided these shreds into a
fat plat half an inch wide, with a
notched edge. When we had made
sufficient quantity for hat, which
was fifty or sixty yards, we clipped

side of the box. In using this method
one runs the risk Of upsetting the
cans when putting the strips in posi-
ton.
An improvement over this method
is shown in the accompanying sketch
from Popular Mechanics, which is
self-explanatory. The apparatus is
made of strips of board, 1 inch thick,

the grain in bins can be made in the
same manner.

Keeping the Cow,

The cost Of keeping a cow varies
considerably according to the cost of
PRODUCING the roughage from hay,
grain and corn feeds, but figures from
dairy associations place the average
cost at $50 or $50 a year To pay a
profit, it follows that the cow must
produce more than $50 or $35 a year
It pays to keep an accurate account
with all the COWS. There are many
that do not near pay up. Apply the
test Of scales and Rabcock tester then
and get rid of those that do not come
ND to the mark.
In buying new COWS, procure those
that freshen in the fall. You will
have the butterfat at the time when
prices rule higher and the cow viii
continue In good flow all through the
spring If you treat her well through
the winter Increase the feeding as
the pastures decrease. Extra care and
feed in the fall will keep the milk
flow up and allow of good sales as the
prices increase.
After years of observation the Cor
nell University reaches these conclu-
slons: % With a fairly good herd
carefully fed and kept, milk can be
produced for IS cents a cwt., and fat
for Is cents a pound, for the cost Of
food consumed Large animals con-
sumo less pounds of dry material per
1000 lb. live weight each day than the
smaller animals do. The best yields Of
fat are obtained from cows that give
a fairly large flow of milk. Pasture
grass is the cheapest milk and fat pro-
ducing food. (From this it seems that
those who neglect their pastures or
make little effort to start new ones, are
in a losing game.) The cow consum-
ing the most food produce both fat
and milk at lowest rate. A good cow
must be a hearty eater. individuals
of the same breed vary more widely
in milk and butter production than
do the breeds themselves.-The Ohio
Farmer.

Civil War Stories
How They Met.

At the panorama of the Battle of
Shiloh in this city a small, shriveled-
up man made himself conspicuous by
going around the place sniveling dolor-
ously. He did not appear to be more
that five feet high. He was dressed
all in black, and his attenuated form
and gray Whiskers gave him pecul-
iarly grotesque appearance. He seemed
to be greatly interested in the pano-
rama, and as he moved from one point
of view to another he groaned and
wept copiously. A tall, raw-boned man
approached him; he wore gray clothes
and a SLOUGH hat. and he had the gen
eral appearance Of a Missour1an away
from home on a holiday.
Reckon you were at Shiloh, eh,
stranger" asked the tall. raw-boned
man.
''Yes," replied the small, shriveled-
up man; "and I shall never forget it;
it was the toughest battle. of the war"
II was thar" said the tall, raw
boned man, land my regiment was
drawn up right over yonder where you
pee That clump or trees.
"You were rebel, them"
"I was a Confederate" replied the
tall, raw-boned man, "and l did some
right smart fighting among that clump
of trees that day"
II remember 1t well" said the small,
sNriveled-up man, FOR was Federal
soldier, and the toughest scrimmage in
all that battle was just among that
clump Of trees"
"Prentiss was the Yankee general"
remarked the tall. raw-boned man,
"and I'd have given a pretty to have
seen him that day. But, dog-on me,
the little cuss kept out of sight, and
we uns came to the conclusion he was
a hidin' in the rear somewhat"
Our boys were after Marmaduke,"
said the small, shrtveled-up man, for
he was the rebel general and had both
cred us a great deal But we could get
no glimpse of him-he was too sharp
to come to the front, and 1t was lucky
for him, too
"Oh, but what scriInmage It was"
said the tall, raw-boned man.
How the sabers clashed and how
the minies whistled!" cried the small,
shriveled-up man.
The panorama brought back the old
time with all the vividness Of yes
terday's occurrence. The two men
were filled with a strange yet beaut!-
full enthusiasm.
Strange" said the tall, raw-boned
man, 1--WE fought each other like dew
lis that day, and we fought to kill.
But the wars over now and we amt
soldiers any longer-gimme your
hand!"
With pleasure" said the small,
shriveled-up man, and the two clasped
hands.
What might be your manner" in
Quired the tall, raw-boned man.
II am Gen. B. M. Prentiss,' said
the small, shriveled-up man.
THE you say" exclaimed the
tall. raw-boned man.
YES" reaf1rmed the small, shrivel-
ed-up man; and who are your

II am Gen. John S. Marmaduke."

Animals Need Juicy Feed.

The digestive organs of animals that
chew their cud are so formed as to
require comparatively juicy and bulky
food The COW can not thrive on dry
food as we'll as the horse. The ideal
food for the dairy cow is good pas
ture, but for large part of the year
green pasture is not available. The
best substitutes to furnish this succu-
lent feed during this period are root
crops and corn silage Corn yields
about twice as much dry matter per
acre as do root crops. AS root crops
require much more labor, silage is by
lar the most economical for those
where corn can not be grown.

Legume Growth Good Omen.

The man who is looking for new

moisture supplied in the shape of snow

cowpens for Selling Purposes.

As a soiling crop cowpeas are very
satisfactory. AS they should not be
planted until the soil and weather are
warm the crop is not available for
feed until the latter part of summer,
when they fill place in well-planned
system of soiling and furnish an
abundance of succulent green feed, al
though, perhaps, less palatable than
alfalfa.
