There are some good men who seem to be
without hands altogether. They have hands,
but they handle not; feet have they, hut they
walk not From dawn of life until dusk
they do nothing expressly for Christ. All
the " passes thus in idleness with them, as
10 work. They could work with hands, be
cause they do, in other things. They will
express themselves land no harml enthusias-
tically, and you can see that the enthusiasm
is sincere, about a song or an oratorio, their
soul flows out at once on waves OF music. or
they can strive manfully enough in politi
cal struggle, or in a question Of social right;
or they are as diligent as the moments
Of the day in their business. But
as soon as they come up to any expressly
Christian work both hands drop down. and
there they stsnd-without hands. / know

About a year ago went to neighboring

owed a balance of account, 10 sfe ii he would

WISE WORDS

Happy is he who has no friend to feed.
Borrowers and beggars are half
brothers.
Pleasure and action make the hours
Ieem short.
Trust the cat when the buttermilk Is
on the top shelf.
We should not imagine that all are
friends that fatter, or enemies that cen
sure.
The more we know the less positive we
become-it is only the ignorant that
never have any doubts.
It is better to have thorns in the flesh
with grace to endure them, than to have
no thorns aud no grace.
Poverty is not dishonorable any more
than sickness; it is only the cause of il
that may be dishonorable.
Ten thousand of the greatest faults in
our neighbors are of less consequence
than one of the smallest in ourselves.
He who works for the public has .
thousand masters, each one of whom in
sists upon being served in different
way.
One man can see into futurity Just as
far as another can, and none of them can
tell whether or not will the world be in
existence tomorrow.
Art is not a sermon and the artist is
not preacher. Art accomplishes by in
direction. The beautiful refines. The
perfect in art suggests the perfect in
conduct
Truth being founded on a rock, you
may boldly dig to see its foundation
but falsehoOd. being built on the sand,
if you proceed to examine its foundation
you cause its fail.
Exert your talents, and distinguish
yourself, aud do not think of retiring
from the world until the world will be
sorry that you retire. Hate a fellow
whom pride or cowardice or lazinesl
drives into a corner; and who does moth
ing while he is there but sit and groWl.
Let him come out and bark.

Suicide By selr-smOtherins.

DR.. D. F. Chadwick, of Binghamton,
writes to the Chicago Times to say that
the case of the man Ayres, who is said
to have committed suicide in Omaha By
holding his breath, is not the first one Of
the kind that has come TO his knowledge.
Il remember" says he, ito have heard
of no less than three such cases before.
though it has never been my good
fortune to be present at one of the
autopsies. Dr. Prieto, who was for many
years one of the best-known physicians
in the West, and whose word and judg-
ment were as good as anybody's, once
told me of patient who came to him
when he was the physician in charge of
the medical springs in q Sale County,
Ill. The patient was a very great suf-
feser from nervous troubles and had been
sent there by her husband, who was, l
think. a merchant in Chicago, but
whose name ! have forgotten. One day
she attempted suicide by cutting her
wrist, but she was discovered before she
had lost much blood. DIR. Prieto Or
dered her placed under constant watch,
and she, after vainly trying to kill her
self in many ways, finally said to her at
iendant: If you think you can keep me
from killing myself you are mistaken
She thereupon turned over in bed and
by sheer force of will held her breath
until she was past resuscitation The at
tendaut did not even know what she
was doing until heaving Of the bed
clothes, caused probably by the involun-
tary action of the respiratory organs,
was seen, but it was too late to revive
the unconscious patient. Er. Trieto,
when he related this incident to me,
said that he had heard of but one other
case-that of a woman of whom DIR.
Eastman. also an old Illinois practitioner.
had told him. 1t was Dr. Prieto's
opinion that a man could not exercise
will power enough to commit suicide in
this manner, and myself believed that
only women could do so until read Of
this Omaha case.
