S Baring -Gould to i write his "Onward, Christian Sol- diers"; and his "Now the day is over" was inspired by the sight of a won- derful sunset over. Brixham Harbor, the first draft being written on an old envelope hastily pulled from his pock- et at the time. These two hymns are by no means ttlone in having an interesting, not to say romantic, origin. "Oft in danger, oft in woo," is an- other which has romance connected with its writing, It was found after Henry Kirke White's death, written on the back of one of hie mathemat- ical papers. It was incomplete, and as usually sung. was completed by 'Prances Fuller Maitland. Inspiration of a Moment The words of "Our Blest Redeemer, ere Ho Breathed" calve to Harriet Huber as she lay, an invalid, on a couch beneath the window of her room. Having no writing material at hand, and being fearful lest she should forget thein, she scratched the verses of her well known hymn on a pane of the window, using her dia- mond ring for the purpose. Newman has told us that he com- posed "Lead Kindly Light" whilst the orange boat which was bringing him on his way from Italy to England at the time lay becalmed in the Medi- terranean. Reginald Heber wrote "From Greenland's Icy Mountains" in res- ponse to a request from his father-in- law,- Dr. Shipley, Dean of St. Asaph and Vicar of Wrexham, that he would write something for them to sing at the missionary service in church on the following morning. The first three verses were penned in a few minutes, and on seeing' them the Dean said: "That will do," "No, no," was the reply,"the sense is not complete," and, sitting down again, the future Bishop of Calcutta added the fourth verse: "Waft, waft ye winds His story."

People think of neuralgia as a pain In the head or face, but neuralgia -may affect any nerve of the body. Differ- ent names are given to it when it af- fects certain nerves, Thus neuralgia of the solation nerve is called sciatica, but the character of the pain and the nature of the disease is the same, and the reniocly to be effective, must be the satire. The pain, whether it takes the form of sciatica or whether it af- fects the face and Bead, is caused by starved nerves. The blood, which normally carries nourishment to the nerves, for some reason no longer does so and the' excruciating pain you feel is the cry of the starved nerves for food. The reason why the blood fails to properly nourish the nervus is us- ually because the blood itself is weak and thin. ' 'VViien you build up the impoverished bled with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, you are attacking sciatica, neuralgia and kindred diseases at the root. As proof of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills in cases of this kind we give the state- ment of Mrs. Marion Bell, Fort Elgin, Ont., who says:—"Some years ago I wa.s attacked with sciatica in my log and hip. The pain was excruciating and finally I was forced to go to bed. Apparently all the doctor could do Was to give mo drugs to dull the pain, as otherwise I found no relief. I had been in bed with the trouble for eight weeks when a lady who came to see Me said that she had had a similar at- tack, and had only found neliaa through the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, I decided at once to try this medicine, and before I had taken more than three boxes I found relief. I continued the use of the pills and 'under the treat- ment the pain left me. I was able to walk again, and have not since had the least return of the trouble. I feel that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been of such, great benefit to me that I strongly time similar sufferers to give them a fait trial."

The visiting card is of Chinese orig- in. The Chinese have always •observed the strictest ceremony with regard to the paying of visits. It is reported that more than a thousand years ago the visiting card was used in China. Nowadays the cards used are very large, and usually of a bright red Color. The Chinese employ visiting cards to assist their courtship. When a man is ready to marry, his parents inform a professional "matchmaker," who looks through a list of her clients and, after due oonalderation, selects the one she considers would make a suit- able bride. She takes his card, upon which are inscribed his ancestral name and the date of his, birth, and calls upon the girl. If the latter is willing to listen to, his suit, siie sends her own card in re- turn. After that the oracles' are 0011- ,eulted, and should they prophesy good concerning the marriage, the details of the engagement are written on two large cards, which are then tied to- gether with red cord.
