A Rash Act.

A Woodstock, Virginia, telegram to the
Baltimore Sun January 29th is as follows ::
Just after the conclusion of the revival SER
vices in the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South in this place last night, Walter K.
Haas, we'll known young man about TWEEN
ty-two years of age, of this place, in tenn
porary alteration of the mind, attempted to
take the life of Miss Lucy Mccain, one of
the organists of the church, while on her
way home, by shooting at her three times
with SS-calibre pistol at very close range,
missing her each time, and then shooting
himself in the left breast, just over the heart
the ball passing entirely through his body.
The cause of the sad affair lies in his de-
sire to accompany the young lady from
church on several former nights during the
revival, knowing that she had engagements
with others. On Monday he wrote her a
note, saying "if he could not go with her no
one else should" and proceeded to carry out
his threat by obtaining the pistol from his
sister. the wife of L. S. Walker, clerk of the
County Court, to shoot some cats. Last
evening he went to the house of Miss Nc
Cam and invited her to go with him for a
short walk, evidently intending to take her
life then; but she excused herself, saying
she could not go because she had to officiate
at the organ and could not oyerexert her
self. This morning the young man is rest
ing well, aud it is thought he will recover.

To the Editor of Tho Evening Star:
A gray haired officer once visited a friend
for month. and during the years that have
since elapsed it has been gratefully remem-
bered that he never helped himself to
drink of water without carrying one TO the
invalid of the family.
Let us remember to change the fiat, warm
water in our bird cages, to renew the dish
in the yard. and shade it for the dogs and
other animals; to offer the pets of those who
visit us, and the waits, a cool drink. Cats
need more water than they get. They are
slow, cautious creatures: their saucer is
often filled, offered and taken from them
by those unobservant of their habits just be-
fore they were ready to settle to a long, sat
isfying lap.
The horses have much to bear during the
hot months from the dust and heat. Please
think to spare the needless jerk on the
dry mouth, and thought would save thous
ands of singing cuts of The whip, so unde-
served by the patient creatures, in most
cases. Sponge their mouths and faces and
give them drink when they need II. Don't
forget the dogs who run with the bicycles.
The teething baby with hot gums is re-
lieved and soothed by few teaspoonfuls
of cold water, given slowly.
Place teaspoonful of salaratus in a quart
of water, to sponge a patient worn with

ment for relieving pain. Tell those who
stand upon their feet of its great efficacy
as foot bath, especially before going to

our BATH or alcohol, II we only remembered
what to DO when hot and tired, for ourselves
or others.
Whenever. and in whatever way we offer

at leisure from themselves to soothe and

cups become gallons in drinking fountains

urable silent blessings Of gratitude in return
