Christian Artruism'
BY REV. C. E. PERKINS.

"Yonr Father knoweth that ye
have need OF these things," said
Jesus. "Do ye not think he will
zee you supplied" we may imagine
him as continuing, "if you look out
each of you for others, as well as for
yourself! Why you never can hope
for true prosperity upon any other
principal. You are all Gods chill
drcp, all brcthern. Stand together,
and you support each other. Cleave
apart and you fall and none care to
help YOU, for whom have YOU ever
helped The world will treat you
as you haye treated the world. When
you think of these around you. as
work from day to day, your labor
will help them even as 1T helps you.
You will make q good social life,
which shall fill your own life with
sunshine. And this is what you
ought TO be thinking about; lifting
up, not yourselves alone, but the en-
tire level of life. There is no Sc
curity except in general advance
Society must have II foundation in
the general good, and then society
will take care of its individual mem
bers. .
[ believe this to be something ol
the thought which dwelt continually
in the mind and moved the ambition
of Jesus. And | think it is tn,
truth. AS the modern economist
would express it, Jesus wished tC
inculca.e the spirit of artruism and
TO discourage the spirit OF egotlsm
to induce the people to think trst o.
the common life Of humanity, ther
of the individual. Paul, in the spirit
Of his Master says to the Phlllp
plans, ''In lawliness OF m,nd let eacl
esteem others better than themselves
Look not every man on his own
things, but every man also cn The
things of others"

The Democratic Free Trade Plat
form.

The tariff plank of the Democra
tic platform means free trade, and
nothing less. The convention in
dignantly repudiated the plank re-
ported hy tue committee, because it
had II few oily phrases in it. The
delegates were not disposed TO but
ter the free trade parsnip with soft
language this year. This action OF
the convention was most significant,
and it means war TO the knife on
protected labor and industries.
The Democrats have made free
trade their chief ana almost their
only issue, and OH that doctrine they
have at last got back TO first prin-
ciples.
For over twenty-five years they
have been qualifying their free trad e
declarations with deceptive trick
and frauds Of speech, but they are
done with that now. They have
caught their true voice and talk
plainly now as they did before the
war, when one of their leaders ia

1t means that the natural labor

that.

What is the sense of constantly
giving advice to bathers at the sea-
shore, to boating parties on the
rivers and lakes and to tourists in
the mountains, when none Of them
seem to care whether they are com
mitting suicide or not. Three-fourths
of the accidents which are reported
from such localities are the results of
the worst kind Of folly. Men who
venture beyond their depths in the
ocean know that they are taking
their lives in their own hands, but
they keep at the dangerous business
in spite Of all that tho press is able
to say. SO 10 boating and fishing
parties elsewhere. The experience
of others teaches them nothing. For
the sake OF exciting II little admira-
ticn or doing what the ordinary per

qucntly lose it. 1t is time W, sted

An Automatic Cutout.

An new design in automatic cutouts for electric lighting instruments has re- gently been brought out. The instru- ment is so arranged that the current passing through the solenOid attracts q core which is attached to an arm about which it swings. When the current ex- ceeds certain limit the core is drawn into the solenOid and raises lever, which in turn releases the switch and opens the circuit If, as in the case of stationary motors supplied from central stations, the current is sudd enly cut off when changing from one machine to another. the circuit is automatically opened by the tension spring which en- gages the small lever by withdrawing the core from the solenoid and thereby raising the lever, which releases the switch the same as when overloaded.
 The tension spring is so arranged that it can be made to open the circuit for any predetermined amount of current. One of the main features of the cutout is that it does away with all fuses, which is usually large item of expense in central stations. It can readily be ap- piled to railroad circuits by using mag netic blowOuts at the switch contact The cutout has been given practical tests and found to work very satisfac- torily.

 It was a pretty sight to see the contin- ual cluster of people in front of Broad way window opposite Union square, for the window contained the portrait of the good gray poet" the late Walt Whitman, and at the time all that was mortal of him was being borne to the little tomb of his own selection. This was the tribute of the passing throng to his immortality. All day long the peo- pie paused and looked and silently passed on, nodding approvingly.
 It was the Walt" of fifteen years ago the hale, robust, leonine man, who then sought the daily companionship of a certain Washington street car driver, and could be seen standing beside the latter on the front platform discoursing upon the philosophy of life. The world might reasonably envy that car driver, who was not only permitted to love and have the companionship of the poet, but was himself highly esteemed for what he was. They were often seen walking in the fields and woods together
 The world has greatly changed toward the poet since then, thanks to foreign appreciation, and the dear old man went to his simple grave known to all the cul- tured nations of the earth. Nobody is likely to contest his will, for he left be- hind him only the record of an undying love for all created things York Herald

A Cow Killed by a Turtle.

One day last week Richard Mock, of Miller county, after milking fine milk COW he owns turned her out in the woods, and she wended her way down to Aycock's creek to slake her thirst some time during the day, and while engaged in drinking was selzed by the nose by D loggerhead turtle and her head pulled under the water and held there until she drowned.
 Failing to return home that night Mir. Mock made search for her, and found her lying with her head under the water, her body on land, quite dead the turtle srill having his hold. Mir. Mock called help and dragging the COW out, drew the turtle out also, he refusing to let go the cows nose. The turtle was killed and weighed fifty pounds. his shell being as large as a large bread tray. Bainbridge (Ga.) Democrat,
