Secret of Happy Life.
My friend's tjtiestiou resolves itself
into just (hw: "How may I lie nappy
Christian?" with the word "happy"
doubly underscored. It is not a useless
question, nr d- it betray an un
worthy ambition. It is a question
that thousand of others are asking,
liatf-c.inioiHof a lurking disappoint
ment that the religion which they
hrd an extolled ax the source of all
peace atid joy is not what they were lea
to K-lieve.
The trouble with many is that they
are weking for the happiness of emo
tion and not the happiness of deeds.
Happiness, nought for it own sake,
whether sought froai Christ or from
the world, always eludes us. Christ
gives us happiness as the government
coins money, that it may la? spent and
not hoarded
Take no less time than you already
have taken, my friend alone with God,
with your bible, on your knees. Nay,
spend more in this way , but be sure to
use every good impulse, every aspira
tion to a nobler, purer, more unselfish
life.
Iiise from your knees each morning
with the settled purpose to make some
one else happier, whether you are hap
py or not, to spend a sunshiny cheery
day, so that father, mother, brother,
nister, or friend may catch the cheer.
Each day, when it is possible, find
some one with more clouds in her life
than there are in yours, and brush
them away for her.
In short, transmute all your desires
and aspirations for happiness and holi
ness into practical, tangible efforts to
make some one else happier and better.
"Take down those saints, and coin
them into shillings" once said Crom
well, of the silver saints in a Catholic
cathedral, "aud 9end them about their
Matter's business." So we need to take
down our lofty emotions from the nich
es they occupy, and send them on
Mime errand of mercy and love.
J)o not think much about yourself and
your emotions. Forget whether you
are happy or not, if you can. llemem-lx-r
only that others are unhappy, and
that you can lighten their lot.
In very humble household duties, in
very little, everyday matters, you can
sjieiid the coin of happiness that God
will every morning give you upon your
knees, and every day you will go to
Him oftener and more earnestly for
more coin to use for Him.
Even our Lord, you remember, not
only spent whole nights in prayer on
the mountain, but he went alout in
doing good.
When you have learned to forget in
these kindly deeds whether you are
happy or not, you will never have un
welcome doubts alout being a Christi
an at all ; and you will suddenly re
member some day that you are a most
happy Christian after all, while all the
rest of the world will know that you
are an unselfish, useful Christian.
Golden Iiule.
It is not what we read but what we
remember that makes us learned. 1 1
is not what we intend but what we do
that makes us useful. It is not a few
faint wishes but a life-long struggle
that makes us valiant.
The White Feather.
White feathers show a cross breed in
birds. No game cock has a white
feather hence the meaning of this
word denotesjeowardice.
Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
erally needed when the languid, ex
hausted feeling prevails, when the liv
er is torpid and sluggish and the need
of a tonic and alterative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the
system from the malarial poison.
Headache, indigestion, constipation,
dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

the sense of impending disaster which
result from the steady play of a cur
rent of cold air upon the neck from be
hind are well known. The necessity of
keeping the abdomen warmly clad la
also generally carried into practice.
Curiously enough, few people are con
scious of the danger they run by expos
ing the usually inadequately protected
shins to currents of air. People who
wear stockings, such as Highlanders,
golfers and cyclists, invariably take
precaution of turning the thick, wool
en material down over the shins, the
better to protect them against Iocs of
heat, thoueh, incidentally, the artifi
cial embellishment of the .calves may
not be altogether foreign to the man
euver. It is an instance of how things
work together for good. It does not,
of course, follow because certain areas
are peculiarly susceptible to cold that a
chill may not be conveyed to the nerv
ous system from other points. Pro
longed sitting on a stone, or even on
the damp grass, is well known to 1 a
fertile source of disease; and wet, cold
feet are also, with reason, credited
with paving the way to an early grave.

Don't tuck your napkin anywhere;
lay it unfolded once on your lap.
Iou't wipe your mouth; if necessary
ju-tt press the lips with one corner of
the napkin.
Don't have iudividual butter plates;

Don't butter bread and then break
or bite it. Butter each small portion
as you want it.
Don't spoon soup toward you, push
the spoon away from you and always
take it from the side of the spoon.
Don't ask for a seiond helping of
soup or anything at a formal dinner, it
is in execrable taste.
Don't above all things make a noLse

Don't unfold your napkin without

Don't fold your napkin if staying
only for one meal anywhere, lay it
carelessly at one side of your plate.

DEVOID OF ANIMAL LIFE.
A CrstrlrM Stranle Itctweea Fire mm
Water la Antaretica.
"Tb Aiitarctio in a ccutiucntal land
unique in the world." write General
A. W. Gnly in an interostiDfj artiolo
on "What May B Fonud at the South
Pole" in The Ladios Home Journal.
"Its desolate shores, rarely approach
able under most favorable conditions,
are lared by an ocean the richest on the
globe in it marine life, animal and
Tegetable, Seals and whales in incredi
ble nnmbers abound in its waters, and
countless sea birds cover with nests and
eggs the few favored land spots which
are free from snow during the brief,
coinfortlc3S snmmer. It is a continent
where abounds no land animal life,
either mammals, birds, insects, spiders
cr reptiles. No mammal exists within
600 miles of its borders. It is also de
void of land vegetation (except the low
est forms of cellular tisue, lichens,
which have been found in two places
only), having neither ferns, flowering
plants, shrubs nor trees.
"Hero, however, nature displays her
forces on a scale elsewhere unknown.
Over the millions of square miles of this
austral continent ceaselessly continues a
titanic struggle between the opposing
ancient elements of fire and water. In
Tain the volcanoes pour forth streams of
molten lava and shoot upward pillars of
fire. Welcoming the lava as a protect
ing, nonconducting covering of its lower
strata of flowing glaciers, the conti
nental ice cap reeistle6sly advances, cer
tain that in tiiuo, when the processes of
erosion have lowered the elevation of
the volcanic craters, its countless tiny
unowflakes will quench the apparently
nnextinguishable fires that now shake
from end to end the continent of An
artica." ON OCEAN'S BED.
tVTjat Becomes of Ships Which Sink to
the llottom of the Sea.
What becomes of the ship that sinks
in midocean? If it is of wood, it takes,
in the firct place, considerable time for
it to reach the bottom. In 100 or more
fathoms of water a quarter cf an hour
will elapse before the ship readies bot
tom. It sinks slowly, and, when the bot
tom is reached, it falls gently into the
acft, oozy bed, with no crash or break
ing. Of course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or if it is
an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some
times Etrikesthe bottom with such force
as to smash in pieces. Once sunken, a
ship becomes tho prey of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make it their home. Be
idcs this they cover every inch of the
boat with a thick layer of lime. This
takes time, of course, and when one
generation dies another continues the
work, until finally the ship is so laden
with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges
and barnacles that, if wood, the creak
ing timbers fall apart and slowly but
surely are absorbed in the waste at the
sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished more
quickly than those of wood, which may
lart for centuries. The only metals that
withstand the chemical action of the
waves are gold and platinum, and glass
also seems unaffected. No matter how
long gold may be hidden in tho ocean,
it will always be gold when recovered,
and this fact explains the many roman
tic and adventurous searches after hid
den submarine treasures lost in ship
wrecks. Exchange.
Sanitation la Asia.
The appearance of plague at Bombay
and Calcutta has produced one good
effect at all events. Before its advent
those prosperous cities had come to be
lieve that they had nothing to learn in
regard to sanitation. There was a time
when they were open to reproach in
such matters as open sewers, polluted
water, and what not But by dint of
liberal expenditure of money and energy
they had made matters right and could
even challenge comparison with Paris,
Berlin and Vienna. When, however, the
awful eastern scourge, after striking
firm root at the western capital, flew
across the peninsula to the eastern, the
pnblio became a little doubtful as to
whether sanitary precautions had been
duly observed. First came inquiry, then
dismay, indignation, wrath, as discov
ery followed discovery, each more ap
palling than the last We refrain from
giving particulars. Even to read these
horrors is sickening. But a still more
terrible question presents itself. If the
two most cultured and wealthiest cities
in Hindustan are in this dreadful con
dition, what must be the state of less
favored centers of population in districts
where there are few whites and many
blacks? Were the plague to penetrate
inland, it would, we fear, find many
towns only too ready for .its reception.

The Weddlnf Rinf.
The associations called up by a wed
tftug ring are very touching, and it is
Jia last thing that even the poorest wife
will part with. If it ever was consider
ed a badge of servitude, it now is much
more suggestive of queenship and sov
ereignty. An old Latin writer thus de
scribes the ring: It is circular, because
the mutual love and hearty affection
cf matrimony should be forever, their
continuity remaining as unbroken as
the circlet itself. It is an old and ex
ploded notion thst the ting is placed
upon the fourth finger because a small
artery connects with the heart The
real reason probably is that the left
hand is not used as much as the right,
and the fourth finger less than tno other
fingers. t

Don'ts For Slender Women.
Don't wear black; black Las a trn
lency to make anyone look aleuder.
Light clothes are the most benoniiiig.
lkm't walk to excess; a short walk
will la? beneficial, but long walks are
flesh-reducing.
Don't stay up late at night; get at
least nine-hours good xleep. A woman
needs more bleep than a man, and
nothing keeps her In good condition
like IoU of sleep.
Don't forgtt that a well-rounded fig
ure makes you look younger and is con
sidered a mark of beauty. The starchy
foods, massage, moderate exercise, ret
and sleep will produce this.
Don't wear stripes; checks, plaids
and horizontal eirecta are better for
thin women. They should strive for
liecoming, deceiving effects if they
study art in dressing at all.
Don't wear a large broad-brimmed
hat it looks out of proportion, espe
cially as the face of a slender girl is
usually small. A moderately-sized
or small hat will be found much
better.
Don't have your lingerie too close
fitting; have your underskirts gather
ed around the hips and a full front in
your undcrwaist is good.
Don't use artificial means indiscrim
inately to make you look less slender.
If done at all it should be done by a
dressmaker who knows her business or
the result is horrible.
Don't strive for long waisted effect
or use pointed girdles; the longer you

will appear.
MIRRORS OF-AIR. -
What It 1m That Cannes the Marrels mt
the Mirage.
The cause of the tnirago is now well
understood so well understood that
there are ways of making small mirages
for experiment.
The simplest explanation that I can
give is to say that the rays of light com
ing from the thing that is seen are bent
f iwgoing through layers of air differently
heated. When these rays are so bent as
to be almost level with a layer of air,
they do not enter it at all, but (so to
speak) glance off and are reflected as if
from a mirror. Then the air reflects just
as a glass mirror or a body of water
would, if it lay between the eye and the
trees or ship.
This explanation will give you a gen
eral idea of the cause of the mirage. In
the case of the desert the reflecting air
mirror is believed by the observer to be
water, and the image changes its place
as yoa go forward just as a reflection
would move at you advanced on a glass
mirror. In the case, of the ship the air
mirror seems to be above yoa and re
flects the ship, which is really out of
sight over the horizon. But I do not
pretend to explain all about the differ
ent images that may possibly be formed
under different conditions of the atmos
phere; that is a schoolroom task, and a
hard one.
The fata morgana is a form or modi
fication of mirage often seen in tho
traits that separate the toe of the
"boot" of Italy and the island of Sicily,
just opposite. When the sun is just at
the right position and sea and air are
also ready to help, strange views of ob
jects upon the opposite coast are seen
from Calabria sometimes magnified
and set against a background of colored
mists. Fata morgana means the fairy
cf the sea.
It is said that sometimes, during a
hot and still summer day, by placing
the eye close to the surface of a dry
road, a mirage can be seen, but I have
never tried it.
Before these and other strange sights
were understood and explained we need
not wonder that sailors and travelers
held many strange beliefs in regard to
them. Tudor Jenks in St. Nicholas.

Too Many Post OScei.
The FtMirth Aihtant Pctmast r
GenernJ lias refused to establish a new
postoflice In Knowden township, Penn
sylvania, which was petitioned for
some weeks ago and recoiiiiiieiuletl ly
Congressman Aclieson. The reason
given is that the pro posed olllce is
within two and a-half miles of the
town of Suowden. The department
recently adopted a new rule under
which all applications for new offices
are refilled where it is proposed to lo
cate them within three miles of an ex
isting oflice. At some places theoffices
have become so numerous and are so
close together that they are a great ex
ense to the government. At numerous
points on railway lines offices are not
over a mile apart. Congressman Ach
eson cited many instances of this kind
in the Twenty-fourth district, but Gen
eral Maxwell stated that the new rule
will be closely adhered to. It Is not
unlikely that the next few years will
witness the consolidation of many
pofttoffices in pursuance of the plan
adopted by First Assistant Postmaster
General Jones. He contends that in
stead of 70,000 postoftices, the country
needs only I.j.OuO, a large proportion of
which could be free delivery olllces.
Consumption in its advanced stages
