LOve.Sick Boys Ruse.

In the Mountainside Hospital, at
Montclair, is Ethelbert johnson, eigh.
teen years old, whose. home is in
Spruce street, Bloomfield. A week ago
his family heard pistol shots in Ethel
bert's room, and found him with a
wound In his right side and his bed
clothing was ablaze. Mrs. johnson
beat out the flames. Her o n who was
lying In bed, clutched a revolver. Be
side him was another pistol and a four.
ounce bottle of carbolic acid. What
looked like a bullet wound was in his
side. 1t was said that he had deter
mined to end his life because he could
not have the girl of his choice. Popular
sentiment was with Johnson until his
mother found a bullet on the floor Of
her sons room. To it chung a little
piece of cloth. 1t flashed Over her that
Ethelbert's attempt at suicide was q
pretence. A second bullet she found
imbedded in the panel of a door. She
concluded that he had inflicted his
wound with q sharp weapon, and it
was only superficial.

Links in Gods Providence.

John Clough, whom readers Of the
RAMS Horn have been aiding in his
extended missionary labOrs in India,
little thought when he was studying
engineering, solving perplexing prob
lens, surveying land, building a rail-
way, and making roads, that he was
forging links in Gods providence for
the salvation of ten thousand Telugus
in one year. This knowledge of engi-
neering led him to apply for the Gov
eminent contract for building a canal.
He employed five thousand natives,
and preached for one month on the
same text. God so.loved the world"
Then he dismissed the first five thou
sand and employed five thousand more
for the next month. and at the end of
the year there were 10000 Telugus
ready to be baptized. And all that
hinged upon ClOugh's knowledge Of
engineering.

KNOW NOTHING OF SYMPATHY,
That Feeling Beyond Lower Animals
Says John B%urrouqh.

That Feeling Beyond Lower Animals,
Says John Burrough.
An Iowa correspondent asks me to
give him my opinion as to whether or
not any of the dumb animals have
sympathy, says John Burrough in Out
ing, and added that a minister at a
funeral in their town had said that no
animal except man was capable OF
sympathy. l agree with the minister.
Sympathy, l think, is beyond the low
er animals. When we ~synlpathize
with a person we put ourselves in his
or her place; we feel sorry for him;
we pity him; we would gladly allevi-.
ate his suffering-all of which implies
more or less imagination and disin-
terected regard. Susceptibility to the
sufferings of others is II of many
higher attributes. When sympathy
was born the race LITE above the
purely animal plane.
The next step is taking the suffer
ings of others upon yourself. which is
the highest form of altruism. Pure
s~elishness rules the lower animals,
and necessarily SC. sympathy is not
necessary for the continuance of the
species, but affection for their young
is. Animals certainly have a feeling
of ~comradeship for each other, and ex-
%perience something like grief at sepa-
ration, yet a dog or a cat or a horse
or a COY will sniff at the dead body of
its dead fellow with apparent uncon-
Germ. A cry of distress among the
birds will bring every bird within
hearing to the spot, and cause them
to be more or less agitated, but it Is
only because they are alarmed for
their own safety; a ommon enemy
may be about. In the herd and the
flock a sick or wounded member is
often fallen upon by its fellows and
destroyed. !
If any animal ever experienced the
emotion we call sympathy it is, of
course, the dog. The dog has SO long
been the companion of man that he
often shows in his nature a trace Of
the purely human.

napp,ne.s in Spite of psprIratlons.

If 1 am so happy in spite of my deprl-
vations, If my happiness is so deep
that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it
becomes a philosophy of life, my testi-
mony to the creed of optimism is worth
hearing. My optimism does not rest
on the absence of evil. 1 al say with
conviction that the struggle which
evil necessitates is one of the greatest
blessings. 1t teaches US that, al
though the world is full of suffering,
1t is full also of the overcoming of il.
My optimism rests on a glad belief
in the preponderance Of good and a
willing effort always to cooperate with
the good that it may prevail. / try to
increase the power God has given me
to see the best in everything and every
one, and make that best a part of my
life. To what is good 1 open the doors
of my being, and jealousy shut them
against what is bad.-Helen Keller.

evening in a church for volunteers TO

appeal made than a Mr.. Ketchum, a
wealthy New York merchant, rose up

that he was willing TO serve in any
