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.

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

ANCIENT POSTAL SERVICE. ; 20th.
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.
