sympathy.

Many. readers of religious papers
may regard this as trite subject. A.
subject well understood to be sure, but
how few of us exemplify 1t, day by
day as Christian virtue Love one
another as I have loved you.n How
broad, how deep how all-embracing,
how divine the love Of true, warm
sympathetic Christian! Many accept
this theoretically, can speak or write
eloquently concerning II, but fail at the
point of practical expression. 1fmanis
tested at all 1t is too often limited To-
our own family or some select circle OF
acquaintance, and even then .iss OF q
very cheap and inferior type. Synlpa-2
thy is not to be limited to word Of
coincidence under some extraordinary
trial or at the time Of some great sor-
row. Men need 1t under the daily
burdens and trials, disappolntments
and disbursements Of life. Many Q
weary, despondent one has fallen in
the battle because Of the GOODNESS and
Indifference of others from whom be !
had right to expect encouragement.
A great need among us Is broader
sympathy. IA
We are too self-centered, and our
affection is moving within too short 8 Z
radius. Outside of very limited
number of special friends, personally
attractive and congenial, we show hit
tie, If any, interest In the welfare OF:
those around US. What does the aver
age Christian know or care about the I
trails and difficulties. and distresses OF
his struggling fellows, even In his own
congregation. A special case OF want
or distress, under special appeal OF
course, receives response, but ordi.
narily by the majority no interest is I
manifested except II their peculiar
'set.n Then often the tongue of SLAM
der or reproach Is allowed to prejudIce !
us toward the innocent and worthy
who are condemned on s'exparte'f
testimony, and set aside as unworthy
of our consideration. Thus some Of.
the purest and best of earth have been
misjudged, discarded, and condemned
to suffer and struggle alone. Oh, how
the world needs sympathy-sympathy
that reaches out the hand to help, that
throws sunshine over the darkened
pathway, that disregards selfish inter-
est and conventional barriers, and
moves out upon the wide, high plane
of mans brotherhood. Cheer for. the
despondent, comfort for the distressed, Z
help for the struggling, flowers for the
living ia the need Of our day Post
mortem expressions of regret aud pity,
post mortem reflections upon the de-
ceased, post mortem flowers that can
be enjoyed only by others, avail moth
ing In the matter Of tightening and
Frightening, and elevating and pro.
longing life for our fellow laborers and
fellow soldiers and fellow travellers.
May the Master give US more OF his
spirit, and help Us to enter into the
joys and sorrows Of Others and to have
q true fellow feeling with our fellow
men.

Cool Off First.

1t is good rule to never write let
ter when angry. One is always sure
to cav something that he ought not 70
sav. and that he will one day wish ne
had never said. He is not himself
and generally betrsys his weakness.
He nuts himself in another's hands.
He loses, to a certain degree, his inde-
uendence, and is at the mercy or the
one whom he assails or abuses. lne
wise man, recognizing the force OF
these considerations, cools otf oe1ore
putting his pen to paper. and then says
rs little as possible and in the most
guarded terms.

VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY.
Misfortune Overtakes J. E. Jones ant
He Closes His Store Door.

Many friends sympathise with Mr.. j. E
Jones 10 the circumstances which induced
him to surrender bis goods for the benefit o.
bis creditors. He Ia an excellent young man
and has labored hard to win success which
he so richly deserved, but which did not come
to him. Conhding himself, and trusting to
the promises Of others. he sold too many
goods on a credit for his own good. The fall
ure of his debtors to pay him forced him to
erything In the voluntary closing OF bis
doors on last Saturday evening. He had
good trade, and did fine business, but ne
like many other merchants, made the mis-
take of crediting too many customers. He ls
full of energy, and he has the ability and the
determination to rise again.

If man boards his four in famine times and charges exho.bitant prices to the starving people. he is cruel miser. If man who owned boat were to refuse to permit it's use to rescue a shipWrecked crew unless he were paid for it he Tould be denounced as little else than a murderer.

Plans Napoleonic.

An cratic French scribbler comes out in the Revue Des Deux Mondes with new scheme to take Westmin- ster Abbey. It is no less than a pro- ject to embark some 500.000 men in jolly boats and hurl them across the channel in a body. Torpedo boats having cleared the way, winds and weather being propitious, and no stupid Albion on hand to repel, it is believed that the thing might have chances of success. Quick firing guns are to be the only artillery besides the torpedo tubes. Just what the Channel squad ron of the British navy would do is not said.

Queen Wilhelmina of the Nether- lands dislikes to be called athe little queen" She thinks the phrase reflects upon her kingdom, and she is 5 feet 11@ inches in height. The queen of Spain is 5 feet 2-5 inches; the em- press of Russia, feet 21a inches; the empress of Germany and Queen Vic toria, still smaller. Aside from her height, the young Dutch queen is also of the best build. Her 211A-inch waist measure and 42-inch bust gives an ad- mirable proportion. Her powers of endurance were we'll tested on coro- nation day, when for six long hours she wore the ceremonial mantle of red velvet trimmed with ermine, weight of not less than thirty pounds, and showed no marked symptoms of fa- tigue

Irish Kieselghur.

At a recent meeting of the Dublin Royal society a paper was read by MT. Pollok on some large deposits of kieselghur which occur on the banks of the Bann, at the point where it ererges from Lough Neagh. Kiesel- ghur is used now for several industrial purposes, and although the deposit in question is apparently not suitable for making dynamite, yet it is of exeep- tional purity and if found in quantity should soon find a market It is stated to be in the highest degree probable that the whole bottom of the Lougn Neagh is covered with similar deposit of diatomous earth, which, as is we'll known, is formed of the silicous re- mains of low forms of aquatic plants. Under the microscope the Bann de- posit is found to consist of little cubic box-shaped diatoms.-London Chron- icle.

 To Nicholas II. lofty idealism comes natural, but education or intuition has welded it to rigorous sense of what is practicable and worth striving for, says Dr. E. J. Dillon in the Contem- porary Review. He takes an eminent ly human view of all things human, and is a firm believer in the wisdom of adjusting means to ends. Hence his sensibility of intellect, his susceptibil- lty to new impressions and generous HI PdlSCo5 Ao IGuu6Ieu DeueUCldi or harmless by his tenacious adherence to traditional forms. He is keenly sensible that no one man can grasp all the elements of such a complicated machine as the administration of a mighty empire, and his relations to- wards his ministers are based upon frank recognition of this fact The other day petition or request of some kind was laid before him for his de- eision. He read it, as usual, very carefully, and as usual wrote his reso- lution on the margin. Having glanced at the date of this document, and found that it was some eight months old, the tsar wrote a few words to the effect that it should have reached him long before. His father would have probably found out who was to blame for the delay, and would have had a warning administered to him on the spot.
