AMERICAN HYMN WRITERS. There has been no American hymn I writer to compare with Isaac Watts or Charles Wesley, both of whom wrote hundreds of hymns which have become classic, but several Americans bare written hymns of recognized merit, some o f which are still sung in churches. John Quincy Adams, 6ixth president of the United States and previously minister to Russia and secretary of state, wrote several hymns which were sung In Congregational churches, though he was a Unitarian. He wrote a metrical version of the Psalms, which was published after his death. The Longfellow brothers, Henry W. and Stephen, both wrote some good hymns. Francis Scott Key, author of the "Star Spangled Banner," wrote a thanksgiving hymn beginning, “ Before the Lord we bow," which used to be sung at Fourth of July celebrations. The two Cary sisters, Alice and Phoebe, who lived near Cincinnati, both wrote some fine hymns. Phoebe wrote the hymn beginning, “ One sweetly solemn thought." Other Americans who have written good hymns were John Plerpont, Charles Beecher, a brother of Ilenry Ward Beecher, and Mrs. Van Aistyne (Fanny Crosby), who wrote more hymns than any of the others above named.—Philadelphia Press. EXTRAVAGANT EUGENIE. T h s Empress Boasted T h a t She Never Wore a Gown Twice. It Is true that the cost of women’s dress has so Increased that It Is not given to the many to be as truly ele gant us their grandmothers were able to he at comparatively small cost But, then, those vvere the days when an elaborate ball gown consisted of yards o f flounces of tarlatan or some other light and uncostly material. Empress Eugenie. It is said, declared she never wore the same gown twice. She It was, by the way, who made Worth, the renowned Paris couturier, famous. The great luxury In those days was to wear several hall gowns during the course of a single ball. Dressing rooms were provided, and the ladies retired to reappear resplendent and as fresh as at the beginning of the evening. The gowns of the day, which were flimsy of train and spread by crinolines, suffered much from an evening’s wear; hence these wasteful ways. There is a (ale of the lovely Empress Elizabeth of Austria which recounts her appearing at a function in a white tulle gown, flounced and ample, deco rated with garlands of real camellias, and changing both gown and camellias every now and then to preserve the impression of absolute and uncrumpled freshness.—Vogue Magazine. Have a Cheery Kitchen. :»ne should liear In mind that the kitchen Is the engine room of the home, and the comfort and happiness of the family depend u|>oii Us running smooth ly and well Lack of system, inade quate equipment. Inconvenient arrange ment of furuittno and utensils and the total ubsence of beauty and cheer are the things that make drudgery of housework. Servants are as susceptl bio to surroundings as their mistresses, and the little aids to housework, such ns cheerful aspect and pretty furnish ings. do much to secure a more loyal Interest and co-operation. A harmoni ous environment in a kitchen will go a long way toM-ard making a happy home. — Harriet SissoD Gillespie in Mother's Magazine. And Its Connection W ith ths Ancient Euskarian Language.

You all know about the Charter oak, that tree that flgured in the light for Independence of the American colonies, and perhaps you have heard of other trees with national significance. Did you ever hear of the sacred tree I of Spain and the means by which it Is perpetuated? It stands close to the town of Guernica, In Biscay, and under Its spreading foliage the general Jun tas are Inaugurated. Several centu ries ago, when Spain was a loosely tied hundie of more or less independent states, the lords of Biscay took their oath under one of the parents of this same tree, where a stone bench was provided for their use, as symbolic of the enduring solidity of their reign. In some respects the tree shows a deep er symbolism than Is to be found in tlie bench of hewn stone, for both the family dignity and the Euskarian lan guage are handed from father to son. In that Isolated region a form of speech that is utterly different from both French and Spanish has been maintained since the beginnings o f Eu ropean civilization because each father made It his business to Instill Into his eldest son the idea that it was his duty to perpetuate his language and the peculiar Institutions of his race. The tree of the Basques Is one of the hardiest of all the hardy things to be found around the bay of Biscay and the Pyrenees mountains. The one that is now standing was taken from the parent tree in 1780 and had been grow ing for thirty years when its 300-yesr- old progenitor succumbed to age and a hard windstorm. Another shoot was started from this one forty years ago. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Old Persian and Roman System of Couriers on Horseback, Not Good For tho Gandor.
