HAPPINESS 0NAPHySEoIOGICaL
BASIS.

Wayland defined happiness as a pleas
urable consciousness. The well-fed horse,
the browsing cow, the gambolling colt,
the playful kitten and it's mother-cat fond
ly watching it. are filled with pleasurabIe
consciousness. This is provided for on the
normal action of the physical system.
That eminent scientist, B. w. Richard
son, F. r. s., has gone a little further,
and gives us the particular seat Of this
p~leasurable consciousness. He says: "The
center is not in the brain; it is in the vital
nervous system-in the great ganglia of
the sympathetic, lying not in the cerebro-
spinal cavities, but in the cavities of the
body itself. near the stomach and in the
heart. We know where the glow which
indicates felicity is felt, and Dur poets
have ever described it with perfect truth
fitness as in the breast. 1t comes as a fire
kindling there.
The London Lancet declares this to be a
scientific truth, demonstrated by a man of
genius. It adds: 'sIn othe. words, felicity
is a physical result of a brisk and healthy
circulation of blood through the vessels
supplying the ganglia of the great sympa-
thetic system of nerves, and whatever
qniekens, and at the same time frees, the
flow Of blood in these vessels particularly,
engenders the feeling we call happiness.
This is tie fact, and we believe it explains
the action of many articles Of food and
medicine and medical appliances. Every
thing in life and nature acts and reacts m
a circle. Be happy, and your sympathetic
ganglia will have the blood coursing
through them with the bound of health,
and this q%uickening Of the pulse, if il be
produced by good cheer, whether at the
table or the mountain side. viii IN turn pro
duce happiness

TAr.E THAT HAD TO BE THE LAST.

A. party of gentlemen at a birmingham
hotel were telling stories one night recent
ly. Of famous shots aad To- many quails,
cartridges, ducks, amt ether birds had been
killed at a single discharge. After listen
ing to what seemed a willfnl exaggeration
by different narrators, a stranger who was
present volunteered his experience of his
only use of the double barreled gun as fol-
lows:
II went into the field one day to try
cunning. The only game discovered was
an immense flock of blackbirds. ] should
say there were 1000 in the flock. Slowly
/ crawled up toward them, and when not
more than four rods away the birds rose in
a solid mass. | fired both barrels, and
how many do You think killed
Different guesses were made by the party,
ranging from twenty to 100.
"Not one,n said the stranger, but
went ont with my brother to look for re-
suits and we picked mp four bushels Of
legs. had shot a little under.

now MORAN KEEPS !. sscsrr

1t IS an old quip upon women that they
cannot keep secrets; but the fact is they
are the only part of humanity that can.
A wife keeps a husbands secret incompar-
ably safer than he does hers. We calcu-
late tina there is one drunken wife to
about four hundred and n~inety-nine drunk
en- husbands. In gambling, RIGHTEOUSNESS,
lying, cheating, hypocrisy, covetousness,
there is pretty much the same proportion.
Yet OF the four hundred and ninety-nine
wives, four hundred conceal, cover up,
silently endure the terrible secret, while
one husband mourns over his wife's frailty
in the study of his pastor, and to the ear Of
his friend, and probably complains of it to
a court of law. 1t is the same between
brother and sister. The secrets a woman
talks about are of the kind that are amin
portant and mostly agreeable to hear. But
o fserious secrets she is reticent as the
grave. That is our observation, and in
our various relations Of physician, minister
and unordained lawyer. we AVE had room
for a great deal OF observation Baltimore

HE COULD PROVE AN AILBT.

There is a deaf mute in the treasury de-
partment. who has been there for a long
time, and is an excellent clerk. The other
day he had a scare. He was busily en-
gagged at mis- desk writing. when a fellow
clerk came up to him and began to talk to
him in the sign language.
s.Tbe Secretary is going TO go for you,
said the clerk with his fingers.
The mute clerk looked up surprised,
WHY. what have I done p he asked with
his fingers.
ssOh. the secretary has heard tales about
you, and | hear that you are about to be
discharged
The deaf mute clerk looked bewildered-
why ?t' his fingers asked.
s.Some people have told the secretary
that you have been around the hotel cor
ridors talking in a loud and boistero,is
manner against the administration
An expression Of relief came across the
mate clerks face when he heard the rea-
son, aud his fingers replied: II can prove

SUNLIGHT AND HEALTH.

There are several time as much sickness
on the shady side Of a house or the north
ern slope of = mountain as upon the sunny
side; the insane idea of shading all wind
ows, while saving the tints of the carpets
slightly, will fade out human checks ex-
tensively; there are patients whose cases
have bafiied the most eminent physicians
while in shaded rooms. and yet they have
been entirely healed by getting into the
sunlight; the nude nations of the world,
who receive the light on their skin, are
rarely. if ever, afflicted with scrofnla OF
most of the other diseases, while their
physical power is greater than that of the
people who wear clothing; the terrific
calamitics of idiocy, shocking d~eformities,
g%oitres. etc, called cretiniSm result from
dwelling in the sunless valleys of the Alps:
living in cellars and shadowy places in
duccs consumption, anemia with its ghast-
ly pallor, shriveled features, depression OF
spirits. lifelessness excitable nerves,
tumors, ulcers, stupid mentality and
many other perversions.
"The only girls with rosy-red cheeks
and sweet breaths," says Dio Lewis, ''thc
only girls who become fully ripe and
sweet, are those whose baptise themselves
freely in sunshine" And yet in railroad
cars, horse cars and all other places where
the blessed sunshine is trying to come in,
| our ladies usually shut it ont in hot haste,
for fear of having their compilations spoil
ed. 1t is true that in very hot weather
it is best that the upper brain should be
protected from the full sunlight, aud also
that a person walk on the shady sid of
the street but in all moderately warm or
| cold wheather the sunny side is far better.

DISCOVERIES ABOUT THE SPHINX.

undertaking has begun which oughtto
yield results of special interest. This is the
removal ofthe sand from around the sphinx.
The sphinx occupies a position where the
encroachmcnt of the desert is most con-
spicuous. AT the present day nothing is
to be seen Of the animal except its head
aud its neck; but the old Egyptian monu-
ments on which, it is figured show not only
the entire body down to the paws, but also
a large square plinth beneath, covered with
ornaments. Since the time of the Greeks,
perhaps ever since the reign of Thothmes
w., this plinth has disappeared beneath
the sand. and it's very existence had been
forgotten.
1t is generally supposed that the sphinx
is hewn out of a large isolated rock, which
overlooked the plain. But NJ. Maspero's
researches suggest that it is a work yet
more stupendous. lie has proved that the
sphinx occupies the center of an amphi-
theater, forming a kind of a rocky basin,
the upper rim of which is about OF a level
with the head of the animal. The walls of
this amphiteater, whenever visible, are cut
by the hand of man. It seems probable,
therefore, that in the beginning there was
a uniform surface OF rocks, in which an
artificial valley had been excavated, so as
to leave in the middle a block out Of which
the sphinx was finally hewn. The exca-
vations now being carried on will doubt
less verify the existence of the piinth
shown on the old paintings, and also fur
nish evidence, by the ornamentation of the
plinth, of the true age of the monument.
M. Maspero is inclined to assign it to a
very great antiquity-possibly higher than
in the earliest dynasties, i. G.. than the first
period of Egyptian history. As the result
of last winters work, the sand round the
sphinx has already been lowered about
thirty meters.
