'T 'ES," ho rend nloutl finm Ills mannum opus at Up lay uulk In Mt clmlr holding the open volume tip In his Hunt hand, "there Is no drnylni? the fact. Happiness Is purely subjective. It Is a thins of tiiin'fl Inward Hlf, not ot his outwnid surroundings. How often Is the bejr Kiir, though denuded of those incidents upon which men popularly, but erron eously, 'Stippose happiness to depend money, friends, rank, power, what not how often, I sny. Is this liegBitV Uu happiest of men, while the prince In his paltfce, or the millionaire In his man sion. Is the most miserable! Some, ob edrvlng this phenomenon, but fulling to grasp Its trne meaning, jump to the hasty conclusion that llches arc, posi tively, a source of unhnpplncs. They jtrr equally, however, as mistaken In their way as those who i.ontelo riches to be ft source of happiness. The truth Is that neither riches nor poerty, nor .-iny external circumstances uhutsoevet, have the Hllghteat connection with a Mum's happiness. He whose mind is well balanced will be Invatlably happy, while he whoso mind Is 111 balanced will lie 'Invariably miserable, be his purse full or Be it empty. .The philosopher laid down his book. "How well I have put that! How true ltt is," he soliloquized, musingly. "Look at my own c.ibe.' Men cull mo lucky, because, by the death of my cousin Tom in the wlids of Afiicn, I succeeded unexpectedly to my present fortune. Lucky, forsooth! I laugh nt their stunid estimate. I am neither more nor less happy than I was when T came Into the money fifteen years ago. I have always been happy, simply be cause mine Is a happy natuic in other words, a well-balanced mind. Were I to wake up tomoirow and find myself suddenly bereft of my wealth, it would make no difference. Nay, why should it?" "The philosopher helped himself i6 a choice cigar from the open box at his elbow, and. lighting It, slowly in Haled Its fragrant vapor. "I smoke these Paitagas now," he went on in the same i effective vein. "Why? Because the gods give them to me. I sit in this morocco aimchaii. Why? Because the gods give It to me. I take, In fact, what Heaven sends be cause It were ungracious, peihaps even Impious, to refuse it. But it affects not my happiness one way oi the othei. Who's that?" he added, quickly, as the sound of the opening door roll upon his cars "Oh, jou, Sclina. Now what is It-that jou want with me, my deal?" t "I wish to hac a word or two with you please, uncle," tepllcd the new comer, a pietty graceful gill, appatent ly about fhc-and-twonty jears of age. Van you spate me five minutes?" "If it Is only five es," said the phil osopher, looking, however, something less pleased by the intermptlon than a philosopher of so well-balanced a mind should piopcily have done "You know the sublect.'" demanded Sellna, with an expression half-defiant, haff-coaxing on her pretty face. "Do you mean youi engagement to oung Pateison? ' queried Draycot Dbler. Selina nodded. "Well, in that event, my dear," re marked her uncle, "1 do not &ce what there is for us in this matter to dis cuss. You have asked my consent. I have given it with my blessing. And there's an end of it." Aa he spoke, he waved, as It wcie, the subjert uslde with a dlsmisaory gesture of his elegant unite hand". t"But, uncle," cried Sclina, "there Is not an end of it, as vou know. Chailie Pateison has only 150 a jcai " "So jou have Infoimed me before. Well, what of It?" smiled our philoso pher, placidlv. "Charlie and I cannot live on 150 n j ear," exclaimed his niece, with scarce ly lepressed indignation "No?" ejaculnted Diaycot Dabber, still smiling In the same placid, unruf fled way. "Upon my word, you do sur prise me, Selina. One hundred and fifty pounds a eai Is let me see (ho rjlftde a bilef calculation upon a leaf of his pockctbook) yes, It is 2, 17s, S 4 J2d. a week a sum fai moie than suf ficient to puiehaso the nece&tailes of life for two people. Nay! how many mairied couples are thete In England, to saj' nothing of other countries, who would consider themselves positively wealthy with such an Income. And Jou tell mo that you cannot live upon It?" "Not In In the stylo which is ex pected of people In our walk of life," cried his niece, her ejes (lashing. "Reallj', Sellna," nnsvvcied the phil osopher, with his most "superior air, "vou do talk HUo n very foolish gill. Style? Style, indeed! Is It not Imppl hcm that Is tlio nlm and object of mar ried life? And does stylo promote hap piness? Pshaw! Thu only souiee of happiness is a woll-lmhinccd mind, If your minds nio well balanced, jou will be huppy upon 150 a year. And if four minds aic not well balanced, jou would bo unhappy upon 150,000. Tho famous Socrates " ."Oh! bother Socintci,'" ejaculated Sellnu, her cheeks glowing with Indig nation. "The long and shnit or it, then, iip. that you dot line to give me any financial asslutancc upon my inur rlage?" m."I decllmy'.eald DijijtpUDubbcr, "to Ji.vlsh upon jou that which will not Wake you one Iota tho happier, Wot a io do so, I should simply stultify-my-lf nnd all my most cheilshccl convic 'tJW." Jyl'U Is cruel, r It is unjust!" cried out to girl, nugilly. "And tl have the vis)t to expect nsBlBtance I know I Jjlav'e under my gient uncle's will." At that the philosopher's face us Rttmed a look of annoyance of Jnltii iton quite Incompatible with u well balanced mind, -"Nonsense !" he jetotted hastily, ijtfpthlng of tho k(nd,( All I was called unon to dopy tho will wus to undertake "your support. And that 1 am sine I Jive done liberally most llbeiully, But my uncle said nothing about glv rtfc you inonpjr uoqn jour mnlagej nothing whatever, No doubt ho iccog. lilted that when w elr man log, her Tttujntennnre (Uen becomes tier ),ub Jtend'H biisljif sk. .

Upon that int all wise men are. agreed. Theje, Ijpty dearl There U' no more to ticj said. V Besides, you have nhcady had your five minutes. Let us consider tho subject closed." Again he resumed tho perusal of his book. By-and-by It slipped fiom his hand to tho carpet. His eyes wcie shut, his mouth open. A Htertorous noise Issuing thctofiom announced that the philosopher was In a piofound slumber. He nwoke nt length, to find the splen did footman addtcssing him upologctl cully. "l'h? What? What tho deuce Is It?" Inqulicd Diajcot Dabber, rubbing his eves. "A gentleman to see you, sir," ex plained Juntos, "lie npologlzes, sir, for ailing at this hour, but ho scz as his business Is lather peitlkler." "Who Is he? What name docs ho give?" demanded Diaycot Dabber. "Scz as he's a Htt anger, sli, und you wouldn't know his name," lepllcd James. "But he's Just been a icadin' of your book, sli, and wlshca to see jou In connection with It. That's the mes sage ho give, nil." "My book?" (Tho philosopher smiled. His book? Some admlrei, no doubt: some earnest seekei after tiuth who, imptcssed by that mastcily exposition, dealt cd to consult tho master thctcon). "Show him up, James," he said. James wlthdtow, piescntly returning and ushering In the stranger. The lat tct was a tall, middle-aged man. of handsome appeal anco, well dicsscd in his style, which was, however, lather the stvle of Bohemia than of Majfalt. "You oio puzzled," said tho stranger. "Come! Look at me. Don't jou know me?" ("So, ho! Tho chestnut dodge of imnglnaty old acquaintanceship," thought Diaycot Dabber.) He lepllcd stiffly: "You ate under some delusion, sir. I novet set eyes upon you befoie." Tho stranger luughcd. "Well, I dntesay I am n good bit changed," lie said. "Twenty yeais at my time of life do make a dlffeionce especially when they've been spent among the niggers In Contiai Africa" "You Tom?' (The woids fell with a strange, almost unnatuial, sound fiom his pnichod lips.) "Impossible! Tom was killed In Afiica fifteen yoais ago." "Oh, no, lie wasn't. My pal Jevons was the one who was killed. I was car tied off alive by the niggers. I only managed to ccape six month', ago, and I ai lived In London the daj befoie jes touljfj. Yesterday motnlug I went to see my sollcltois and It was then I heaid of my uncle's will and my own supposed death Made a pietty consld eiablc flutter In their ofllce, my leap peatancc did, I can tell jou. I asked them what I was to do. Thej advised mo to place mjself in theli hands at once. But I said that I'd lather see jou befoie taking any action, and dis cuss tho position of affaiis with j-ou in a ft loudly spliit. I was coming last night; only leoling what a shock It would bo to jou, I put tho dlsagteeablc intei view off. Luckilj-, however, on my ictutn loutnej from the sollcltois, I s.iw a copj of your book in an Undet giound bookstall and Immediately bought it. I have been loading It all the morning, with the icsult that qulto a load has been lifted from my mind. Of course, if jou hadn't been a phil osopher, with a very proper and ad missable contempt for monej-, I should have found my task uncommonly pain ful. But as it is, I haven't minded breaking the news to jou In tho least, any moio than jou, I am sure, have minded having it broken to jou," said Cousin Tom, cheerfullj. The philosopher still sat staring at him, appalled and helpless. Ho now tec ognized in this middle-aged man vi llous facial characteilstlcs of that boy cousin (whom he had last seen twenty yeais ago) which left him no loom for doubt on the scoio ot his frcnulne iden tltj'. Yes, this was Tom, light enough, the legal possessor of all his (Diaycot Dabbei's) monej-. Under such chcum stances, ho felt a defiant tone was at once useless and ill-advised. Peihaps If he wcie conclllatoij1, diplomatic, he might be able to make some sort of tei ms w 1th his cousin. Thctefore, fotclng his lips into a smile It was a veiy sickly uttempt ho said: w "Phi don me, Tom. I spoke hastilj This is a bit of a shock, jou know." "Oh, don't mention it. That's all light. But jou'll soon get over the shock, of course. What a lucky thing for jou that jou despise money!" "I never said that I ot exactly de spised It," atisweied Diajcot Dabbci. "But you said In fact, you piovcd most conduslvclj- that money has nothing to do with happiness, A most just conclusion, In which I entitely con cur. By tho waj, is your uleco Sclina, whom ns I romcmbci as a tlnv tot In socks and baio legs, still living with you ?" "Yes," said Diaycot Dabbci. "But," he added, anxious for his own reasons to change that subject, "as I was about to obseive " "I'm quite longing to see her again," Intel tuptecl Cousin Tom. "Ih Hhe as pietty uh she then bade fait to bo.' Tell jou what, Diaycot I'll stop and dine with you tonight and icsumc my acquaintance with Miss Sellna." "I'm souy to Hay I'm dining out to night with Loid N" answeied Duty cot Dabbci, qulcklj-, thankful Indeed to have this lenl excuse, "But any other evening " "Besides," ho added, despetatelj-, "it would bo such a shock to Sollua to n ttoducp jou to her suddenly like this, and " "Oh, If that's all," intei posed the lr lepiesslblo Tom, "I needn't be Intio duted to her under my own name. Say I'm an old ft lend of yours, and call mo Mr, Jones, ot anything else jnu like, Yes, by Jove! That will bo jathei tun to make my own ulece'n acquaintance in tlio ehai.uler of a strancei," And thus it hud to be. Sellna was sent for, and her Uncle Tom was In troduced to hor by Diaycot Dabbor ns "Mr, Jones, an old ft loud of mine, who has airlved unexpectedly, nnd whom I must ask jou, my clear, to entertain ut dinner tonight In my unavoidable absence" It wus close on midnight when he loturned. To his no gieat Joy, he found his Cousin Tom still thete, smoking a cigar lit tho llbraij-. "Oh I hero ou ate at last," said Tom. "Sellna wont to bed mote than an hour ugo, but I stopped on because I have something purticulnr to say to yob. Sellna has been talking to me about her engagement, "I've found you out, Drnycot. You're a damned mean-spirited hypocrite. And that's the fnct." "Mow how date vou use such lan guage to mo?" oiled the philosopher, his teeth chattering, nevertheless. "Considering our respective positions, 'dale' Is rather n funny word," rejoined Tom, meaningly, "However, I'm not go ing to ntgue with jou nbout vvotds. I'm going to make n propositi to you a piopooul consldeinbly more fnvoiablc to yourself than jou nt all deserve. Only It's not my way to bo haul on nny one. Listen to me, Diaycot. I've got a goodlsh bit of money already quite im much as I need. And as you've en Joyed this fortune of uncle's so long, well, jou may continue to enjoy It upon one condition. You must Imme diately make over 20,000 to our nlcco Sellnn." "20.000! Prepostcrousl" cried out Diaycot Dabber, staling from his chalt. "P.eposteious, is It? Very well. Then I'll pi ess tny legal lights to take pos session of jour entire fortune, and give Sclina the 20,000 myself." Thcio was a long pause. Then Drajcot Dabber muttered, In sullen despeiiitlon, "I'll pay Sellna tho 20,000." One dnj', about a fortnight later, Cousin Tom looked In on Diaycot Dab bler. "Come to wish you good-bj," ho said. "I'm off on my ttavcls again, Diaycot. I say, old man (ho winked five times In succession), what a laik this has been! What a inline sell! I'm not jour cou sin Tom at all. Cousin Tom was killed fifteen jeais ago. I'm his pal, Jevons!" "What?" gasped Draycot Dabber. "Quito true: "always was considered like Cousin Tom, you know. Had been In England this six months, and had heaid of your shabby conduct toward Sellna weeks since. Determined to bluff jou Into filling jour moral obli gations. Bluffed jou most succcss fullj'. Oh! my cje! What fun it has been! Beats poker Into fits!" "Fun!" cried the philosopher, beside himself with furj "You jou won't find It much fun, jou blackguatd. You've petpett.ted a most impudent fiaud on me. I'll ptosecute you. I'll get back my 20,000. I'll " "Prosecute me if j-ou like, nnd get back joui JO,000 If you can," Intel -posed Jevons, quletlv ; "but I don't think j'ou'll do elthei, Mr. Drajcot Dab ber. Out Intel views have been strictly private. You have no witnesses. Bo sides, thoie's that book of yours, In which jou publicly profess jour Indlf feicnco to moiioj'. How about that eh? And how would jou like jour mean, hpyociltlcal attempt to wiiggle out ot jour obligations to jour nlcco exposed In couit.' Look uithei funny on the pait of such a high-minded, wealth despising philosopher, wouldn't It? Oh, no! You'll never ptosecute, my chlek-en-livoied humbug You'll just fume, and tavc, and wotiy, and sit down by jour loss." Diajcot Dabbei did. London Tiuth.

Wo have been asked cspcclnllj as to the pioper foim of tho pural ot neuritis, nephtltls, etc , and of Ills, fot mulu, etc. It seems to us the gcneial uilo must be that if they aie Hngllsh woids, i, e, wiltten in Roman and not In italics, they should foiin theit plui als just as othei Knglish pluials aic fonned.

Cleveland, who Is known fiom one end of tho-teultory to tho other, has Bono to Investigate tho matter. The manner of tho dlscovetj was this: A piuty of Chundclnr Indians was hunting near tho headwateis of the Poieuplne river, which they had leached by following the Chundclnr cteok. One day while on tho side of a mountain, whoso slope Is tow aid the Arctic Ocean, one of tho paitj', looking about for game, chanced to spy high on tho mountain side above him u rocky for mation of a shape he hud never seen befoie. Ho was about to continue seaich for game, but changed his mind, and tolled up the side of tho mountain tovvnid the sttange object. It was not till he got to it that ho dlscovcted that there weio two objects very much alike, and then it suddenly dawned upon him that thete, mote than 100 miles fiom the sea, und high above It, were two ships, the lurger piobably 400 feet long, turned to stone, That night when lite party was In camp tho hunter told his story. It was not believed, but ho was so potslstent that It was titio that next day sevcial huntcis went with him to see the won derful ships, and their surprise and par tial fear was as grent as his own. They examined the hulls moto closely than he had done, nnd the icsult of this cx umlnatlon wns such that the story can not be doubted, They wont to the In terior of the Vessel nnd brought back vvllh them some cups nnd plates made for table purposes, nnd of nn undent nnd ponderous description. Only a few of them could bo biought out by tho Indians, It wns only the tecollcctlon of tho manner In which they had been disposed to treat the story told them by their comtadc that Induced them to bring anything away with them, They knew they would not bo believed If they had no evidence other than their woids hence tho tableware.

Kiog fanning as nn Industry Is as suming large piupoitlons In many paits of Canada. Not only arc huge ship ments of frogs' legs made from this countij' to the United States, but thete Is a gtowlng demand for the luxurj In many of tho large centres of the Do minion. One of tho most successful ftog farms is in Ontaiio. Last j'eat It piodueed 5,000 pounds of dressed fiogs' legs and 7,000 living fiogs for scientific put poses and for stocking other watcis. The deputy commissioner of fishei Ics for Ontario lcpoits thut In the past j ear a number of applications wcie made to the government fot leases of lands suitable for this industrj-. No licenses weio, however, granted, ns It was found that the ton Hot y conceind was aheady being farmed by a number of people. It Is safe to assume that In the veiy neat tttuie much land now Idle will be stocked with frogs. All that is ncces saiy for this purpose Is to place a tew palled bieedois in tlio water. Nntuial food is almost alwajs piosent in suf ficient amount for successful giowth. The species consldeicd heic to be most piolltable, on account of its "ie, is the Eastern bullttog, ana catciblana, which loaches a length of moie than eight inches. It begins to bieed at the end of thico jeais, Is veij pioductive and leaches a inaikelablo size in four or live vcais. Only the hind legs ate maikctecl, and they avciage half a pound a pail in weight.
