FINDING HAPPINESS.
BY EDITH EUGENIA SUITS*
HKRE onee lived is
EH the beautiful Vak
d- jWH Bgll ley of roses a Prin
cess. 6he was a
veritable flower
herself, with her
V shining hair and
deep blue eyes; and ail through
the day she laughed and sang and made
merry. This pleased the King and
Queen, who idolixed her and loved to see
her gay. But there came a time when a
shadow appeared ia the young girl's
eyes.
"1 sm tired of all this," she said, one
day. "I sm not happy. 1 want Happi
ness."
Then everyone was sorrowful, and
all the courtiera and lsdie-in-waiting
set their wits to work to seek Happiness
for their Princess. But she only grew
paler and more wistful in the midst of
all the revelries. She lost her appetite,
took no interest in the birds or flowers;
even the lovely clothes provided for her
gave her no pleasure.
Her parents were in despair, when,
one summer's day, there appeared at
the palace gates a little old woman who
asked to see the Queen. She was dressed
so queerly that at first the gatekeeper
hesitated; but a look from her sharp
gray eyes decided him, and he let her in.
The Queen consented to see her, and,
when she was shown into the spacious
boudoir, recognized her at onee. Bhe
was the Princess' fairy godmother,
Finella; so the Queen welcomed her
gladly and had refreshments brought
for her.
The old woman ate and drank and
talked about the weather till the last
crumb of cake and the last drop of wine
had disappeared. Then she said, quite
sharply: "1 hear that Blossom ia mop
ing. What's the matter?"
"Yes," replied the Queen, sadly, "she
is very unhappy. Bhe wants Happi
ness."
"Nonsensel" said Finella; "she wants
sense. Let me see her; but don't tell
her who 1 sm."
So servants were dispatched for the
v Princess, and she soon came, looking
very lovely in her soft, clinging robes
of sea green. Bhe courtesied very pret
tily when the Queen presented her and
SSt down by her mother, thinking what
a strange visitor this wno.
"Well," said the old woman, "I hoar
you want Happiness."
"Oh, I do!" eried the Prineess, eager
ly. "Can you get it for me T*
"Humph! Idon'tknow. I may."
"She is not very polite," thought the
Princess, but she said nothing.
"Ah, child! you little know for what
you are asking," the old woman contin
ued. "But we'll see—we'll seel What
do you say. your Majesty, to letting her
come with me for awhile, say, a week or
two? I promise to take good ears of
her."
The Princess looked so pleadingly at
her mother that the Queen coiild not re
fuse, and that afternoon two people
walked out of the palace git tea, the old
woman and the Princess.
The latter hobbled acme, for ahe
could acareely walk in theatout-leather
shoes the old woman had insisted on
her wearing. liar pretty hair wm colled
neatly under a cap and her gown waa
homespun.
They walked on till they came to tha
forest. The netting nun ahone through
the branchen of the trees with a warm,
rosy light; the birds twittered their
evening lullabies, nnd the leaves rustled
in the cool breeze that blew fresh and
strong from the mountains.
Hut the Princess was too tired to ap
preciate this beauty; and when they
filially came to the forester's cottage at
tlie edge of the wood ahe couldn't re
press a cry of delight.
The two travelers were kindly received
by the forester's wife, and aa the Prin-

cess was nearly ready to drop with fa
tigue. she was given some supper and
went to bed. When she a woke the next
morning she found the old woman had
rone, but the forester's wife said she
peered her back egain. and the Prin- 1
cess was to stay with them in the mean
time. There was a little trunk in the
con er marked with her initials, and
her room pleased the Princess; it was so
neat ar.d dainty.
The new life was very different from
anything to which the Princess bad
lieen accustomed, but the novelty waa
pleasant. Margot and Franz, the for
esters children, were delighted to ham
this beautiful young girl for & com- i
pnnion. and did all they could to amuse
ber. She was treated exactly like one I
of the family, and wus set little tanks '
which she performed clumsily enough
at first, but gradually grew more pro
ficient.
In the evenings when the work was
done they would sit on the cottage
porch and Franz would play to them on
bin violin. It wus beautiful music. The
Princes# listened eagerly.
"Who taught you to play like that i
she asked.
"No erne. The birds sing rod the
flowers and treeb whisper stich heauH- j
fut thinfr* to foe." Aad he dr** the how
lovingly across thejnstrumcnt, as one
would caress a child.
"1 think it is the angola," said tho
little sister, reverently. "Franz is sav
ing up his money to go to the big city
and learn all about music. Ah! he will
be "gT,at and famous some day, won'*
jou, dear?"
But Franc only laughed, and for an
•wer ran away whistling.
'""he Princess was very much inter
ested, and the three children built many
an air castle, in which Franz always
figured as the hero.
But these happy days were not to last.
One morning the Princess found Mar
got erying bitterly.
"Oh, Blossom, the dear mother Is so
111," she sobbed, "and what will we do?"
The Princess comforted her as best
she could. But she was young and in
experienced, and such sorrow ss this
was new to her.
The forester's wife was ill for some
time, and once they thought she would
die; but the prayers sent up to neaven
were answered, and slowly her strength
came back, to the children's great joy.
One evening the two girls were stand
ing at the gate watching the sun ss it
sank, a ball of Are, behind the hills.
Across the stillness floated thestrainsof
a plaintive little air.
"Listen," said the Princess, ss the
music rose and fell in soft, sobbing
breaths. "It sounds as if some one were
crying."
"Perhaps," said the little sister, gent
ly ; "but it is only Franz playing."
The Princess felt the tears rising no
she listened to the sad, sweet music.
"He is sorry to-night," she said, in her
quaint way.
Margaret nodded. "He Is sorry and
happy both together," she said. "Oh,
how I wish he could have gone 1"
"Gone whers?" naked the Princess.
"To the city. Didn't you know? He
can't go now because the money be saved
ho spent for mother, and it will take him
a long time to get some more."
The little sister's lips were quivering,
and the Princess squeesed her hand af
fectionately. "Never mind," she whis
pered; "it will all corns right, Tai
sura."
When the light had quite failed they
went in. Frans had stopped playing.
"ILL I AM I OW TO TOt'. M
and was bu*y earring the frttle wooden
bo*.
The Princess watched him foT several
minutes without speaking; then she
said:
"Fran*, can you tell me how to find
Happiness?"
Fran* smiled. "I think If you do your
duty," he said, "you'll be huppy."
The Princess was silent, thinking
many things. And us she lay in her lit
tla white bed that night she pondered
long orer ber search for Happiness
till she fell fast asleep with a smile on
her lip*.
The next day the old woman came and
took the Princess buck to ber father and
mother. They were aicu/rd ar.d de
lighted at the change in their daughter.
The old air of melancholy hud vanished,
and aha again sang and made merry us
of old.
There was great rejoicing in the pal
ace, and a grand fete waa given to cele
brate her return.
The Queen embraced the fairy god
mother with tears in her eyes, and
begged to know what ahe could do to
show har gratitude.
"My dear," said the godmother,
"your joy la my reward. The simple
life of the forester's family has taught
enr Blossom a lesson. Bee that she
doesn't forget it." flo she left them,
promiiing to come again.
And there was also rejoicing in the
cottage in the forest, for the Princess
bad left for Franz a letter in which she
naked him to come to the city to study
music, as he had intended, he and Mar
got. Nothing would give her so much
Happiness, and did they remember it
waa that ahe had come to seek. Borne
day they could repay her.
They were astonished, too. for they
had not known ahe was a Princess
Franz hud said no at first, but his ob
jections were overruled and he went,
he nnd the little sister who watched
over him with such tender core.
Years went by, and Franz's fnmi
spread far and wide. The toll, handsome
lad played In many landa and the
PrlncesaT
"All I am I owe to yon." he said to her.
Icoking in her grave, aweet eyes, "now
can 1 erer repay you?"
"Ah." she said, emil ingot him through
her tears, "there was onee a girl who
thought only of herself and her own
pleasure, and who found the great
secret of Happiness la a little cottage
1B the wood. It waa you who showed
me my un worthiness by your unselfish-
Bess and derotlon to others."
And in the silence of the cool, green
forest where they had first met, they
plighted their trotU, the musician and
the Princess, for in those good old duya
it was not necessnry for a Princess to
marry one of royal blood.
Bo they were married and lived to a
good old age, and the Princess never lost
the secret of true Happiness.—N. Y.

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.
Gravo Mistakes Had* by Inexperienced
Men and Women.
Nothing is more reiuui hublc than the
extraordinary and heedless zeal of the
modern missionary in China. Kcgard
less of all danjers, the young aspirants
for missionary work, heedless of former
mishaps, make the long and weary voy
ages into the interior for from any help.
I have seen young married people,
with a child clinging to the breast of its
mother, start out from Shanghai for
the north, not knowing one word of the
Chinese language. The force of folly
could no further go. Of the great im
portance of knowing the Chinese
language before attempting to preach,
nud of the patience required in master
ing the same, too much cannot possibly
be said. In the "mandarin," which is
the dialect used b}' all officials in the
18 provinces, there arc to every sound
four distinct tones. If the young mis
sionary, after studying for a year or
more the common everyday phrases and
characters, starts out an itinerary from
the stations, and during a street sermon
does not use the right tone or inflection
of his voice with a certuin sound, he will
convey to his hearers an absolutely
different meaning from that intended.
The four tones in the "mandarin" are:
First, an ascending tone, giving a high
explosive sound as when in auger; sec
ond, a rising inflection as when making
nn inquiry; third, a curving, and fourth,
a lowering inflection. The language,
containing tens of thousands of words
and characters, has only 200 or 800
sounds, which necessitates the great
tone difficulty. European children,
born in China, hear and reproduce the
tones naturally and unerringly, but the
tones and ears of the missionary murt
l>e trained by careful and persevering
attention. Serious troubles have u?
times been traced to blunders made by
lips of the tongue and neglect in using
the proper tone.
Ignorance in this matter may lend to
speaking disparagingly of old customs
or perhaps an unintentional condem
nation of the sacred rites expounded by
Confucius. Old and experience*!
missionaries assert that it Is a great
mistake, and very often the cause >t
grave consequence, to allow inexperi
enced men and women to deal with
Chinese, whose passions lie In a dor
mant state until aroused, whfn at *.be
slightest provocation they break forth
with the fury of wild beasts.—Philadel

THE BIGGEST DIAMOND.
Ift Iwh Uka m Chunk mt C'mUWartll
About; •40,000.
The largest known diamond was re
cently found in Brazil. Though *o
laigo, the stone is by no means BO THl
uuble as muny smaller ones, a
"black diamond" and unsuitcd for use
as a gem.
The diamond in question weighs
•1,100 carata, and is, therefore, as we
have said above, by far the largest ever
known. The great Jagersfontain di
amond, which waa found in Kouth Af
rica about two years ago, and which
was said to be the largest known to be
in existence up to that time, weighed
970 carata.
The stone mentioned wot found in
the carbon district, t<he old diamond
field of Brrpr.il. It is of the class known
as "black diamonds,** or commercially
as carbon, which are used in diamond
drills and for similar purposes, their
color aot adopting them to ornament.
The original finder is, we believe,
not known. At the present time the
stone is in the hands of the jewelry firm
of Kahn & Co., of Paris, and the Brazil
ion government is negotiating for its
purchase for the National museuiu.
"The value is placed by experts at be
tween $30,000 and $40,000. The price
paid for it by the present owners is
somewhat uncertain, one account put
ting it at $26,000, while another aid
that they paid 52 shillings three pefice
(English) per carat, which would make
the price nearly $40,000, or not far from
its probable maximum value. There is
little doubt that it will eventually be
placed in the Brazilian museum, as no
private firm could afford to pay the
amount asked by its present holders, or
which would be likely to be asked by
any commercial house into whose
hands it might pass.** Engineering

INDUSTRIOUS QUEENS. w
tmblttoa* t Keep Abreast with Their
Female Bobjfcte.
Industrious duchesses are almost, us
thick, relatively, as peas in a pod. There
is the duchess of Belfast, temperance
lecturing; there is the duchess of
Sutherland, exploiting English tex
tile fabrics; there is the duchess of Rut
land, article writing; and so you might
go on. Now my attention is drawn to
the industry of queens and empresses,
and they seem determined to keep up
with the educational distinctions of
their female subjects. The queen of
Portugal, who is shortly to visit Eng
land, is immensely interested in the
advance of women in every sphere, and
lias taken most energetically to the
study of medicine, with a view of in
ducing Portuguese ladies to take it up.
On this point of feminine medical prac
titioners her majesty is very keen, be
lieving that women ought to be attend
ed by women. Queen M.'irgherita of
Paly has taken most warmly to lit
erature, and a book by her, descriptive
uf Alpine scenery and illustrated by
sketches from her own pencil, will
shortly be published. Empress Eu
genio is engaged on a religious work,
in the form of meditations for every
day in the year. The empress of Aus
tria is said to be plodding at her (Jreek
like any girl graduate, and the English
empress-queen Victoria can now read
and write Hindustani with perfect ease
—a language her majesty took up less
than two years ago.—N. Y. Mall tnd

t'HEAP CONSERVATORIES.
Winter Window Transformed Into
a Veritable Fairyland.
There Is No Reason ftliy Every Home
Should Not llove Flower* How to
Make an Invalid'* Room Cheery
and Attractive.
Her house, she gays, is no bigger than
a minute, with a dining-room window'
opening on a series of clean but ugly
backyards, where neighbors will hang
out their Monday wash, so BIIC consult
ed a nice florist around the corner. The
suggestion w as to put off the disagree
able view by an arraugemerit of plants,
aud the bill must needs be extremely
modest.
This is wluit the florist did for the
small consideration of $8: He took out
the lower sash of the window entirely
und fastened outside the sill a deep zinc
box, measuring 2/ a feet on all sides. It
was supported by iron brackets on the
outside wall beneath the window and
then wHh four squares of skylight
glass, the sort that is near nn inch thick
and a cloudy pale green in tint, he put
a slanting roof and sides over the zinc
box, reaching froiu its outer edges to
the bottom of the window's upper sash.
This done, the box was tilled with earth
and planted with cheap hardy ferns,
bedded down with lycopodium and
given color and fragrance by adding a
few mignonette and cyclamen plants.
It was when finished an ideal little
conservatory, that she framed in by
drawing the shade down to a level with
the lower end of the top sash and loop
ing bock her white lace curtains.
Through the heavy gloss the autumn
sun shines with just sufficient energy
to keep the plants in good health and
the proper temperature. Its proud
owner satisfies her horticultural tastes
by spraying the leaves once every 81
hours from a lloriat'u bulb. All day the
cool green nook and the henry glass
shut off the back yards effectually and
ut night the drown shade shelters the
sensitive plants from artificial light.
There is no reason on the whole why
every city or country house in winter,
she thinks, should not have one such
window box to every living room. The
chief expense is their building, for the
zinc box and glass are the costly items,
but a clever brother or husband can put
them together in the proper shape, ant*
FOR AN INVALID'S ROOM.
(he hardy ferns, lycopodium, etc., cost
very little at any florist's; n dollar and
a half well luid out will plant the box
fully, not to reckon on the inestimable
value such a corner of growing- flowers
is to any room in the winter. Itcbanges
the tvhole aspect of things, and so wide
ly has she recommended her plan that
the little florist round the corner lias
more orders for winter boxes than he
can All.
The prettiest little conservatory built
in u long time was made for a serai
invalid who is very fond of flowers and
tried to experiment with orchids and
jwdrns. One long window of her bed
nx>m she had cleared of sash and blinds
and u. circular shelf or bow window
built out from the sill on brackets about
three feet, long and three wide. Then
in a wooden frame she had the open
window inclosed like a bay, glazed with
regular window glass.
The ma tenuis and carpenter's work
cost her *l3, and when it was finished
she began to buy any orchids, large or
small, that could thrive indoors. Her
purchases ran chiefly to cattleyas and
the yellow butterfly variety, that a*
healthy plants in boxes cost her from 73
cents to twice that sum. These she
hung by cords of varying length from
the roof of her conservatory, and for
$2 apiece she bought a half dozen small
rubber plants and thriving little
palms. You can scarcely picture the
brilliant beauty of that recess when
the orchids began to bloom. Theu
hung a cloud of the loveliest lavender
aud yellow over the greenery below like
a glimpse into fairyland through the
lace curtains.
• This conservatory Is large enough for
one person to stand in. It cost, the
plants included, about $25, and la a
sight like Katishnw's elbow—a lovely
sight that her friends come miles to
see. She wisely chose the orchids be
cause, when healthy plants,they require
less care than any others, bloom more
readily, their flowers last longer, and
if their boxes are wisely enriched at
intervals will last without other notice
from season to season.
"On the whole," said the little florist
convincingly, "I see no renEon why
every woman should not have at least a
window box in her home for the winter,
for if she is not lucky at flowers, any
florist will send a skillful man to put
her plants in order every four weeks,
charging her 50 cents for the pro
fessional visit, not n big price to pay itn
something more ornamentnl in the long
run than the costliest bric-a-brac."—St
