Englnnd's Interests in the War.
1t is refreshing to hear from an English
source that the British Cabinet sis thor
oughly united about the protection Of Brit
ish interests, but is divided about what
those interests are" Let us hope the Cabinet
will find out what those interests arc before
it proceeds to protect them otherwise the
results may be unfortunate. IT, for Instance
the government should fall into confusion
on this important point and should pro-
coed to protect by arms what it supposed to
be British interest, but what was not such
interest then it is evident that every dollar
spent, every shot fred and every soldier
killed would be grievous waste, and ma
ton that SO justly attaches great Importance
to the economical aspect of every case
should, with all its might, avoid waste Of
that sort. But this might be rather worse
than waste, since if England's force were
given thus mistakenly it would not only fail
sustain the cause opposed to it, and thus
England's armies would be sent into the
field to oppose, beat down and crush the
real cause and interest of the English people.
In any war it is good plan for govern
ment to endeavor to ascertain what are the
interests of its own people before it pro-
ceeds to protect them by battle; but it is
q plan not always acted upon. 1t hay been
especially neglected in the history of Eng
land. Indeed, it is safe to say that Eng
lands national debt, in SO far as it is due t.
war, was incurred in wars waged directly
against the interests of the English people.
It would he we'll for these people ii that
sort of thing could be permanently
stopped, and it is, therefore, almost like
finding little bit of rainbow in poll
tics to hear that the British Cabinet,
standing, SO far rs appears to the outside
world, at the threshold of great war.
stops q little to inquire what England's
interests really are in the case before it.
Mr.. Gladstone says it is England's interest
not to stand aside and permit other Powers,
Russia above all, to take the lead in scav-
engering the Turks out of Europe. Mr..
Carlyle says it is England's interest to stand
still and hope the Turks may be soundly
thrashed !; and between these opinions and
the presumed opinions of the Ministry there
is great range for doubt as to the true in
terests of England. Since it is possible to
blunder on the decision, however, it is safe
to believe that the government which re-
fused to sign the Berlin note, laughed at the
Bulgarian massacres and secretly encour-
aged the Turks to reject the programme of
the Conference, will assuredly blunder once
more.

HAPPINESS at Home.

1t has been said by philosophr that ev-
ery cross word uttered or angry feeling eN-
perieuced leaves it, uncrriug mark on the
face This can be verified by close oh
seryation of the countenaGce> OF those
around US, whose tempers and habits are
familiar to Us. and its truth thus establish
ed And if the liueaments OF the face show
traces of such things. how much more
must The general. moral and mental system
be affected by them? Nothing is more
susceptible OF proof than the statement
that one angry word brings on another,
except the old biblical saying, that a soft
answer turneth away wrath Many peo-
ple really possessed of sincere desire TO
do right in all things. allow themselves to
fall into the habit of using uDgentle and
unkipd words to those around them when,
II their attention were called to the fact IN
the right way they would be astonished at
themselves. Happiness is made,n not born.
1t may with reason be argued that 1t Is all
impossibility to be happy at home when
one is crushed by the cares OF life-0y dii-
ficulties crowding on every side. But II a
man firmly resolves to throw aside the
yexiny cares of business, or woman the
acprayations of domestic life, when the
| family is united, as most families are once
in twenty-four hours, the thing Is done
After the excitements OF the day the nerves
are naturally pretty high strung, and al
effort is required to prevent their disturb
ance upon the slightest provocation; bu
such effort renders its successor easier o
accomplishment Thus, habit Of gentle
ness, cheerfuluess and kindliness can b
acquired, which nobody sees but to appre
ciate, admire and desire. The children &C
quire it in youth, and are saved the subae
Quent efforts at selfcontrol, while the neig
bOrs are softened by contact with it, All
the result is what We all should seek
happiness at home EX.
