The True State of Happiness Explained
by Brother Gardner.
From the Detroit Free Press.1


sWalkin' out dis mawnin' to behole
de bewtiful in natur',' % began the presi-
dent as he rose, ''my mind recollected
dat I had been axed, to splain de true
state O. happiness. In de fust place
when am man happy? Is it when he
has lots O. money-when he has fixed his
enemy-when he travels an sees de
world-when he has a good home2 An
how many grades of happiness kin you
count up? An what am happiness when
you come to bile it DOWN."
During the silence that followed the
last query Samuel Shin made an effort to
cross his legs and knocked the water pail
bottom side up, filing the brogans of
Giveadam Jones and Whitelaw Skinner
full of ice-cold liquid.
Happiness, as an ole black man like
me defines it," continued Brother
Gardner, ''am not sto' cloze, a fat wallet,
big house an ice-cream cherry night
efore you go to bed. When [ looked
about me arter a wife [ didn't look fur
anything gaudy. I knew I must mary
black woman or none at all. knew
she'd be away off on her Greek an Latin,
an SO when [ got my old woman I war
not bit dis'pinted. She am as good as
L am, an what more can / ask? When
L war free to start out I reasoned dat
mus job round at dis an dat, kas I had
no trade. / nebber counted on havin'
more dan cord of wood an five bushels
OF taters ahead, an I nebber have had.
L knew I'd have to live in small house.
own cheap dog, live an dress plainly
an keep dis black skin to be grave, an
it has all happened jist as I 'spected. I
am happy kase [ havn't 'spected too
much. [ ana happy kase I doan' figger
on what I havn;t got. I am happy kase
l reason dat de weather can't allus be

This supremacy dates from the Edict of
Nantes, in common with the English silk
trade. AS far back as back as 1910 there
was some 600 ribbon looms as work in
the canton, producing annually material
valued at 81 !, $50, 900. In 1879 there was
1000 looms, employing 5000 weavers

Stunning annually 400 tons of silk, out of

EVENFALL-.
BY. JAMES DAWSON.

wrathfully In the rudy west away,
The sun goes down beyond yon upland aeld,
AS though he angry were that one more day
Unto another night is forced TO yield,
Anon the west is broken into bars
OF orange, amber, gray and dussy gold;
And darkness, stealing ON, draws out the stars,
Their nightly vigil-long and lone--to hold.
Within the wood, the last bird MARBLE fails,
And all the air, emptiedof every sound,
nviola.e stiffness holds, Above, around,
The calm repose procured of peace prevails
The calm, the sweet; and now complete DER all
Hath gloomed the dim, the dusky, evenfall.

THE rural resident may now 60 forth
in the bright moring, while the early
sun is warming the air, and listen to the
sweet songs of birds that hutter in the
trees, shaking the blossoms down like
snow. And as he wanders over the hill
side to the blue spring, he may glance
all around furtively, and then take cup
and flask from the hollow of an old stump
and have drink of pure, cold water

DOMESTIC MATTERS.
POULTICE.

Cranberries pounded fine in the raw
state are excellent as a poultice to allay
inflammation of the skin. They are said
to be especially adapted for this purpose
in case of erysipelas.
CREAM PIE.
To one pint of milk put two even
tablespoonfuls corn starch, two of sugar,
one egg, small pinch of salt, and flour
to taste, with extract of lemon and
orange mixed. Bake in a rich paste.
CHOCOLATE PUDDING.
Mix the yolks of six eggs with one
cupful and a half of sugar and fifteen
tablespoonful of bread crumbs, then q
quart of boiled milk; take eight table
spoonfuls of grated chocolate, mix with
little boiling water, and pour into the
mixture; the whites of three eggs are to
be we'll beaten and added last, with a
very little salt; bake one hour; beat the
remaining three whites into stiff froth,
add icing sugar sufficient to make mer-
ingue, and dry without browning.
WHITE STEW OF FISH.
Fry an onion in oil to light brown,
then add tllmblefful of water, a table
spoonful of vinegar, mace, and small
piece of all spice. Put in the fish and
cook with the above. When sufficiently
stewed, add the following for the sauce
Juice of four lemons, mixed with des-
sert-spoonful of -four, then add the yolks
of four eggs with the whites of two, and
some chopped parsley; pour over the
fish when it is cooking. Do not let it
cook too long after making the sauce.
BRIoCHE.
This is an excellent light cake for
breakfast or luncheon, and is much used
in France: Beat one-quarter pound but
ter until it is In cream; take three eggs
and bake until light; mix thoroughly
with the butter; add to this one-half
pound of sifted -four, and to this mix one
small cake compressed yeast; then gill
of water; set to rise over night in warm
place; put in turban form, and bake In
a quick oven.
POTATO FLOUR.
Rasp the potatoes into tub of cold
water and change it repeatedly until the
raspings fall to the bottom like paste.
then dry it in the air, pound it in NOR
tar, and pass it through a hair sieve.
1t is nearly as nutritive, and much ligh-
ter, than wheaton -four. 1t is, therefore,
preferable for making buildings and pas
try for infants and invalids. A portion
of it also improves the appearance of
household bread, and dealers constantly
pass it off as arrowroot. If kept dry, it
will remain good for years.
PRESERVED GREEN CORN.
Boil on the cob until the milk ceases
to flow when the grain is pricked. Cut
off the corn and pack in stone jars in the
following order: A layer of salt at the
bottom, half an inch deep, then one of
the corn two inches in depth, another
half inch of salt, and so on until the jar
is nearly filed. Let the topmost layer
of salt be double the depth of the others,
and pour over all melted (not hot) lard.
Press upon this when nearly hard, thick
white paper, cut to fit the mouth Of the
jar. Keep in cool, dark place. Soak
over night before using.
