News comes from Attica, Ind., of the de
struction, by fire, of the big laboratory and
ollice building of the Sterling Pemedy Com
pany, makers of Cascurets Caiuly Cat hart 10
and No-'I'o Pae, the einginal guaraL tee-d to-bace-o
habit cure. Tlie lire broke out in on
of the packing reionis on the third lloor dur
ing the noon hour, and had made consider
able he adw ay before it was discovered.
As soon as it became appare nt that the
fire department would have ebllie ulty ia
combating the Haines, the work of savins
the thousands of valuable documents, con
tracts, fiU-s, millions of booklet and ton
of advertising matter was begun with the
utmost ene rgy. The Sterling Pe'medy Com-
!any is the principal industry eif thobeuuti
ul little city of Attiea, employing several
hundred pe-eple besides being atliliutetl With
the Indiana Mineral Springs, the famous
Magno Mud Cure. Hundreds of men, wom
en and children vie-d with each other in car
rying the contents of the burning building
to places of safe ty.
Meanwhile the proverbial energy and
and prese nce of mind of General Mannger
Kramer, of the Sterling Pemedv Company,
was displaye-d. lie quietly wulkenl away,
and see ured n big show roeim nenr by, and
had all the oflice furniture, charred ami di
lapidated ns it was, taken there. Peforcthe
boxe's had e-eased burning, in which the fire
originated, eirdcrs were being dictated in
the makeshift edlice for new supplie-s, and
car loads of material were ordered by wire
while the streams were still playing on the
ruins. Several shipments were made the
same evening from gooels saved, and on Fri
day morning, all departments were at work
in various rooms about tow n, w hile a gang
of men were ch-aning away the wreckage
preliminary to rebuilding.

Speaking of church music, there is nothing
which is e frequent a sotin e of wonder to
me as the lack ef understanding some of our
church musicians display in their choice o
music. I hnve he-anl the intermezzo from
Cuvalleria Pustie-ana played as an organ
voluntary that intermezzo whose story of
earthly passions is so plain that it does not
need words. I have heard the same organ
ist play Schubert's "Serrnade" on com
munion Sunday, but the most glaring exhi
bition of bad taste I have ever heaid vu
just a few Sundays ngo rrhfiV a certain so
prano sang an eild hymn to that famous air
ef Delilah's, "Sanis-on et De'lilah," the most
passionate music 1 know. She sang it beau
tifully, too, and was evidently utterly un
conscious eif the fact that the meaning of
music eloes not elepend entirely em the words.
I actually heard the superintendent of the
Sabbath sehool elear, simple soul con
gratulate her on the success of her effort,
