Free certificate for himself.

The following story is told of the
late DR.. James c. Swan, physician
of the old school, who practised his
profession for a great many years in
Bridgewater, Mass, and the surround
ing towns.
This generous if not alluring offer
was made by him to the. pernicious
father of an insane young man:
The old man wished to secure his
sons admission to the insane asylum,
but seemed unwilling to pay for the
necessary certificate. After hearing
his plea of poverty, which the doctor
knew to be false, and hearing him also
tell of the many expenses to which he
had put by his ungrateful children, the
physician waved his hand to end the
recital.
'Now, see here he said. sharply;
''you just pay me for this one, and I'll
give you a certificate for yourself,
whenever you wish it, for nothing

who is reputed to be the strongest man
in the world. Mr.. Hackenschmidt's in
junction to his interviewer was that,
if you would be strong, eat all the
sweets you can, and if You cannot get
the buildings and pastry you like, buy
a lot of chocolate candy. He remarked,
however, that one should always get
the best practicable and that cheap
sweets were bad for the digestion.
While Mr.. Hackenschmidt's extra0r-
binary muscular development and his
undoubted good health are the founda-
tons for his wonderful strength, at the
same time, his comments accentuate
the wonderful nutritive and stiGulativt
value of sugar, which has been so much
discussed of late. and to the many
adaptations of sugar for human as vel

KNOW NOTHING OF SYMPATHY
That Feeling Beyond Lower Animals,
Saws Inhn RurrotIoh

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
funeral in their town had said that no
animal except man was capable of
sympathy. / agree with the minister.
Sympathy, I think, is beyond the low
er animals. When we sympathize
with 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-
terested regard Susceptibility to the
sufferings of others is one of many
higher attributes. When sympathy
was born the race lifted above the
purely animal plane.
The next step is taking the suffer
lngs of others upon yourself, which is
the highest form of altruism. Pure
selfishness rules the lower animals,
and necessarily so. 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 cat or horse
or COW 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; common 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.
