The Sweetness Of Self Forgetfniness

The Sweetness Of eif-Forgetfuiness.
The loss of personality! In that dread
thought their lies, to most Of us, all the
sting OF death and the victory Of the
grave, says Ethel Bench Puffer in the
February Atlantic. It seems, with that
in store, that Immortality were futile and
life itself a. mockery. Yet the idea, when.
dwelt upon, assumes an aspect Of strange
familiarity; it is an old friend after ALL
Can we deny that all our sweetest hours
were those Of self-forgetfulness? The
language of emotion; religious, aesthetic.
intellectually creative. testifes clearly to
the fading Of the consciousness of self,
as feeling nears the white heat. Not only
in the speechless stark immobility Of the
pathological case" but in all the stages
of religious ecstacy, aesthetic pleasure,
and creative Inspiration is to be traced
what we know as the loss Of the feeling
Of self. Bernard Of Clairvaux dwells ON
that ecstacy of dedication in which the
individual disappears in the eternal
essence as the drop of water in a
cask of wine Says Meister Eckhart,
Thou shalt sink away from thy self
hood, thou shalt flow in His self-posses-
sion, the very thought of Thine shall
melt into His Nine" and st. Teresa.
THE soul, in thus searching for it's God,
feels with very lively and very sweet
pleasure that it is fainting almost quite
away" The aesthetic feeling OF John
Bunyan's verses:
Woulds't thou be in dream, and yet not
sleep?
Or would'st thou in moment laugh and
weep?
Wouldest thou lose thyself, and catch no
harm,
And find thyself again without charm?
O then come hitler,
And lay , nay book, thy head, and heart to-
is the same as that of Keats Ode to a
Nightingale:
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness
My sense, as though of hemlock l had
drunk.
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethewards had
sunk
IT'S not through envy Of the happy lot,
But being too happy in thy happiness.
But not only the religious enthusiast
and the worshiper of beauty close them
selves in ecstacy. The Zine frenzy" OF
the thinker is typical From Archimedes,
whose life paid the forfeit Of his imper
sonal absorption, from Socrates musing
i'll one spot from dawn to dawn, to New
ton and Goethe, there is but one form OF
the highest effort to penetrate and to
create. Emerson is right in saying Of the
genius: His greatness consists III the
fullness in which an ecstatic state is real
ICED in him."

Commercial Schools.

Germany leads the world in CONNER
cial education. American travelling
men are shrewd and successful, but
when they come in competition with
German statesmen in China or South
America the German generally makes
the sale, because he can speak the Ian
guage of the country f1uently, and he
had been taught in the commercial
school to know what his customers
want. The various commercial schools
of Germany annually send forth large
numbers of qualified young men to
take up ~lucratice and important posi-
lions in the business world. These
young men are selling in distant coun-
tries products of the German empire,
ranging from a clothespin to a locomo-
tive. The efficiency of German travel
ing men is due to the splendidly con-
Quoted commercial institutes in Ger
many. The United States should have
more of that class of educational insti-
buttons, not mere business colleges, but
commercial institutes in he true sense
of the word.

The Sheep Question.

An examination of the sheep industry
in every state in the Union shows SINH
lar results, advancing values under the
Republican policy of protection, and
lower values under free trade and its
evil influences.
There was an increase of 20 cents a
head in the value of Idaho's sheep be-
tween 1891 and 1893. There was a de-
cline of $1.23 in the following Democrat
ic years up to 1897. And since President
Mckinley was elected, with a Repub-
lican congress that assured protection
to the American wool grower, the value
of each sheep in Idaho has increased by
$1.53.
With over a million sheep In Idaho in
1896, their total value was but $4,000
more than the half million sheep were
worth there in 1892.
With not quite three times as many
sheep at the beginning Of this year as
there were in 1895, this farm stock has
increased nearly six times in value.
Western farmers should study these
facts and decide, before November, If
they want any more free trade destroy
ing the value of their locks.
Idaho is simply an example of condi-
lions in every state where sheep are
grown.
