Let us never lose our faith in human
nature, no matter how often deceived,
Do not let the deceptions destroy conf
dence in. the real honesty, goodness,
generosity, humanity and friendship
that exists in the world. Chauncy De-
pew says: II have lost twenty-five per
cent. of all have ever made in lending
money and endorsing notes, and have
incurred generally the enmity of those
! have helped because l did not keep it
up. But every once in while there
was somebody who did return in such
full measure the credit for the help
that was rendered, that faith was kept
alive and the beauty and the goodness
of our human nature were made evident
have appointed about a thousand men
to Office and employment which gave
them the support and chance to climb
to positions OF greater responsibility
and trust If they had the inclination
and ability. About nine out of every
ten Of them throw stones at me because
/ did not do better for them, keep on
pushing them: and yet there are o
hundred or SO who, by the exercise OF
their own ability, their own grasp Of
the situation, have gone on to the ac
complishment Of such high ambitions
and successes, and have appreciated IL
SO many ways the help extended tC
them by helping others, that again my
faith ia human nature remains un
diminished

Mrs. +. b. Thurber, in an article in
the July number Of the DemoTrst Mdgd-
zinc on SIS Fourth Of July Celebrated
Periodically" says; American patriot
ism possibly has been declining,-I am
not certain. However, believe there
is now n positive revival of a patriotic
spirit among us, for I see il in many
phases OF our national life, especially in
music. believe that with the great
reviving wave of patriotism in this
country, music is at least to have its
place. On Fourth of July. American
melodies are played all over this land
and in every country in which our Day
of Independence is celebrated. We
have already an American opera. We
established an institution where a
musical education, quite equal to any
abroad, can be acquircd; and see, not
far ahead, a school Of musicians which
shall be distinctively American, and
which will be recognized as such by all
the world.

A BULLET
Is Resting on His Brain, and Slight
Fan Might Dislodgs It and Cause
Instant Death.

New York. April 24.-George sussen-
back, tall. athletic appearing man.
about 80 years old. has just gained
considerable prominence by recover
ing from a self-innicted bullet wound,
which penetrated his brain from front
to back. For this reason he proved to
be n good drawing card yesterday
morning in the Harlem police court.
Eussenback was found In Central
Park on the night of February % by
Park Policeman Madden. and was re-
moved TO Manhatten Hospital, where
the surgeons, after an examination,
pronounced the wound fatal. The bull
let had penetrated the skull in the
center Of the forehead, and Its course
though the brain had been eXacly be-
tween the right and left lobe. Wherever
the bullet lodged Its weight would cause
II to penetrate still further by reason
OF the fact that the brain tissue Is so
delicate that It could not resist the
weight.
The patient was obliged to lie on his
back for several weeks, and the sur
geons agreed that the bullet penetrated
the brain TO the portion of the skull,
where II Is now encysted.
jump or a sudden fall is liable to
dlslodge the bullet and cause immedi-
ate death.
The case is n most remarkable one
from a surgical standpoint, for the
patient, Notwithstanding the opinion of
several experts, began finally TO show
signs of recovery, and, since there are
only nine other similar cases on record,
Sussenback become Il real live freak.
and opens new field for discovery in
the medical world.
The generally accepted theory Of the
locali2ation OF the faculties is very
strikingly demonstrated In this case,
Tor the patient retains perfect muscular
action and control. The course which
the bullet took through the brain
tissue affected only that portion Of the
brain which Is supposed to control
thought, and therefore muscular ac-
tion remains unimpaired.
When SussenbacS was taken to the
hospital he remained unconscious for
a period OF five days and one eye was
bulged out, giving ground for the
opinion that the optic nerves were In
jured and his eycslght destroyed. But
this belief proved to be unErounded, for
the only apparent effect the wound has
had on his eyes Is 10 give one the ap-
pearance Of being slightly below the
line OF the other
Not only does Sussenbacks brain
contain S2-callber plug of lead, but
In the center Of his forehead the scar
from the bullet forms a very clearly
defined cross.
He was discharged by Justice Koch
for lack OF evidence to hold him for at
tempting suicide and he returned to
the Manhattan Hospital at the lnvi-
tatlou of superintendent Fem, to re-
main as his guest until next week,
when he sails for Germany.

wIoo1Ns ON EARTHQUAKES.
They Are Caused. He Says, by the Con
junction of Moon, Sun and Planets.

Ottawa, ont, April 24.--Prof. Wig
gins was today asked the cause of the
earthquakes In Italy and Austria
which, during the last three WEEKS
have been disastrous In those coun-
tries. He said that all earthquakes
without eruption are caused by the
moons conjunction with the sun, anu
therefore, II the earth mad no HU mo-
there would be no earthquakes. me
reason there is not an earthquake at
every lunar conjunction is because the
attraction of the sun and moon alone
except II is exerted over an eartnquake
region. is not sufficient to produce II.
IL requires one or more planets giving
their attraction with others at tne
same time. The great eruption Oh
Mount Krakatav, In the Island OF Java,
in the spring of 1883, was caused py tle
moon being in conjunction with ths
sun when over the earth's equator, ana
when she was at her nearest point 10
the earth. This attraction was supple
mented by Mars being near MS perlhe-
lion, by Jupiter being near the HTst
point of Aries, by Venus being In con-
Junction with the moon on March o.
by Mercury being In conjunction WIN
the moon on March 6, and by Mars De-
ing in conjunction with the moon on
March T. This was an unusual ana al
most marvellous masslng of the planets
at that dangerous moment when poth
the sun and moon were In conjunction
and when both We're moving northWatu
80 near the earth's equator. Thls Is
why he predicted his great storm IN
the Northern Pacific on March ana II,
1888, six months before 1t took place anu
which he said would be followed by
volcanic eruption. Hence the great
eruption of Krakatav, the greatest up
henynl of modern times, In this same
Northern Pacific.
Nearly all scientists suppose that the
eruption of earthquakes should happen
Immediately after the conjunction,
whereas 1t may not occur until two or
three weeks after as the forces are slow
in their action. The conjunction OF the
sun and moon on March %, 1895, was
also near our equator. and produced
the earthquakes which are stlll occur
ring in Austria and Italy, and are
repetition of the earthquakes that We're
so violent In Italy in March, a. ID. SS.
Earthquakes are decreasing in violence
but so slowly as to be almost imper-
ceptible owing to the slow recession
Of the earth from the sun. The planet
