The Pursuit of Happiness.
From Texas siftings.

rfolH leAds oHJlnSs.l
There is something pathetic in the above phrase
that happiness must be pursued and can only be
attained by constant effort and exertion; race
where the victory is to the swift and happiness
rare prize awarded after great expense in effort
and money.
Witness the laborious excursions on crowded
steamers or well-packed cars-al in eager pursuit
of happiness, which continues provokingly out Of
reach by land or water transportation. Observe
the fashionable exodus from luxurious city homes
to the uncomfortable hotel life of seaside resorts
with the accompanying martyrdom Of overdress-
ing, cramped quarters and many nconyeniences.
But in reaching for the almost inaccessible flower
of happiness on the heights the sweet way-side
blossom of contentment is crushed at the foot.
There are countless avenues of happiness open
in nearly every life OF some we make use, dim
ly aware that we are pleased, but never believing
that of such trifes the great Of happiness cot
which we are in pursuit) is made. The daily
miracle of the suns rising and setting the song Of
birds, the sight and perfume Of flowers the golden
sunlight the prattle of child the starlit skies, to
a mind open to their sweet influence fill the
soul with happiness that does not require to
be pursued 1t is this capacity for enjoying little
things for discovering objects of interest and
beauty in the paths Of everyday life, in fact, real
izing some of the happiness which we are thought
lessy absorbing, that constitutes happiness itself.
But there is little doubt that many prisoner in
his lone cell is happier in the playful ways Of the
mouse he has tanned, in the flower which has
forced its way through the chinks Of the stones in
the narrow yard; even he enjoys more than half
the men and women who have the whole boundless
universe of beauty and sublimity to minister to
their souls. And they know nothing of it, all for
the lack of this trained faculty for receiving hap
piness. Many stray beam can be gathered up
for comfort, which is quite as good as though it
came in one great burst of sunshine.

"IF l SHOULD DIE TONIGHT"

If should die tonight,
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And deem that death had made it almost fair
And, laying snow white flowers against my hair,
Would smooth it down with fearful tenderness
And fold my hands with lingering caress,
Poor hands, so empty and cold, to night!
If / should die to night,
My friends would call to mind with loving thought
Some kindly deed the icy hands had wrought;
Some gentle word those frozen lips had said.
Errands on which the willing feet had sped.
The memory of my selfshness and pride,
NY hasty words should all be set aside,
And so should be loved and mourned, to night.
If | should die to night,
Fen hearts estranged would turn once more to me,
Recalling other days, remorsefully.
The eye that chills me with averted glance,
Would look upon me Of yore, perchance,
And often in the old, familiar way,
For who could war with dumb, unconscious clay?
So might rest forgiven of all, to night.
So friends pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow,
The way is lonely: let me feel them now.
Think gently of me; am travel worn,
My faltering feet are pierced with many thorn,
Forgive, oh, hearts estranged, forgive plead
When dreamless rest is mine, shall not need
The tenderness for which long, to night.

Moral Physiognomy.

From the Atlantic Monthly]
A distinguished Frenchman recently said that
he would rather be beautiful woman than any
thing else, if he had his choice while another as
serted that he would be beautiful woman up to
thirty general up to sixty, and statesman the
remainder of his life. Henry James draws atten-
ton to the fact that London, passing by the most
royal social ions will 60 to any length to find and
to fete beautiful woman. We Americans are not
backward in the appreciation OF beauty, but the
gem is not so one with us as it is across the
water. While our women justly rank first in beau
ty among all intellectual nations, our men are
somewhat inferior in what may be called handsome
looks. Still there are some uncomely women left
to keep the men company, and for the benefit of
such New York specialist advertises her success
in treating her sex for ug[ness. She warrants to
render downright uply woman presentable, and
plain one proftably handsome. The nature of
her treatment, like the Loisette system, must be
matter of curiosity to either sex. The fond lover
would gladly send for small perquisite, the high
check-bone and receding chin of his Aravilla for
treatments and the anxious mamma, with her
eight ducklings of daughters ready to be launched
into the matrimonial pool, would pay right hand
somey for 'beautful girls warranted" True,
there are some defect of countenance that can and
ought to be eradicated-a squint of the eye,
crooked nose, poor complexion; all these mis-
fortunes come under the head of therapeutics.
But where is that thaumaturgist who can make
beautiful person naturally and obviously ugly,
unless he call up the beauty expressive of mind
free from inclination to vice and heart fine with
sympathy? When we come to think of it, is
beauty of face an advantage to woman, on the
whole? OF course it is good to look upon; but
somehow that kind of food by itself is never nutr
tive The hot-house cameia has pride and per-
lection, but no soul. That is unfortunately the
case with the majority of beautiful women, espe-
cially with that class known as ''society bellies"
Such have not the gift of the gods are very APP
TO make up their deficiencies with amiability,
courtesy and intelligence, so that their loss be-

distinguished nobleman and his son and heir, meets
the point. After the son, with dignity, had re-
fused, at his fathers suggestion, to marry the
high-born and the wealthy, the father persstently
tried again; ''Ihen, if 1t is beauty you seek, here

MEN do the heavy lifting Of the world, keep the
accounts, do military service and hold all the
offices that are worth having. They make all the
laws, publish most of the newspapers, write good
many of the books and scientific treatses and
monopolize educational facilities and professional
opportunities as far as they are able.
Some of them make admirable husbands, pay
bills without murmuring, walk the floor with the
baby when it has collie, take the twins to the park
resolutely turn their backs on committee
meetings and come home at O clock. Husbands
of this kind do not spend Sunday in a dressing
gown, tilted back in a chair, feet on the mantel,
extinguished behind the morning paper, emerging
only when lunch and dinner are announced. Men
are strong and conveniently constructed for throw"
ing, running or standing in the street cars without
detrment to their health. Their fashions are not
complicated and evanescent, and the majority are
not troubled if embroidered shirt bosoms are de
rgeur for full dress and they display only plain
plaits They do not know the chatting torment of
tight corsets or whaleboned dresses, with hustle
attachment that makes the tortured wearer think
she is sitting down on wire rat trap. Mans
trousers do not get skewed around sideways and
bis back hair is not an object of solicitude He
can hide weak chin and bad teeth when nature
is propitious with beard and mustache.
But (and here we see the generous heart of this
keen eyed Judge of men) we shall have to admit
that man has his troubles. Business does not al
ways boom; his candidate is sometimes annihi-
lated; although he reserves the right 10 propose,

has won her the most noted of suitors.'
s'But do not look for beauty any more than
do for fortune. Since am to marry, desire only
happiness"
ooh, that is quite different case! If it is
happiness you SEEK marry plain woman, by all
means"
Indeed, it is mooted question whether the
fashion be not on the eve Of disruptye change.
A prominent scientist argues that future race Of
men will be noseless, for in that highly differenti-
ated state the barbara sense of smell will be gone
then who will need nose? Proportionately the
whole face will undergo change, However that
may be, there is decided swing in the pendulum
OF memorable taste toward stability and planness.
Gingerbread fippery in women as well as houses is
becoming recollection. Our girls colleges are
developing broader foreheads, irregular features,
indicative of alertness, thought and capability.
While no art can take form us our women's match
less compilations, education does develop the mask
face of nane regularity into the speaking counte-
nance of quick beauty. The time has long passed
when men doubt that teach state of the human
mind and of internal sensation has it's peculiar
preston in the face" as Lavater puts it. Let the
beautiful face show the lines of envy and hatred
or the traceries of passion as it surely does if the
concordant feelings exist, and it becomes repug-
nant and ugly. Deformty does not then express
itself in Unborn irregularity Of features, but rather
in those disagreeable changes that are impressed
by constant repetition. So also the changes con-
comitant with morally beautiful state impart the
stable beauty we most admire. If, then, our New
York frier is to make women really beautiful,
she must first change moral deformity into moral
grace. Character is the photographer, the face
the sensitized paper. The process must be fire.
quent before the print be permanent. Even in
those beyond the ''can t-teach-a -old-dog' line,
moral lovelneSs, the supreme artist, can originate
expressions that may become the herald Of the
noblest form Of beauty. The planest woman need
never fear successful rivalry based on beauty
alone, if she carry in her face harmony of quail
tiles, which is but the natural reverberatlon of
pure and symmetrical mind.
The Son of Sirach, many centuries ago, gave
the unfortunate good cheer when he said, ''The
heart of man changeth his countenance, whether
it be for good or evil; and a merry heart maketh
q cheerful countenance.'

ALL THINGS ARE OLD.
We Are Nothing, After All, But Poor
Weak ImltatOrs.

We Are Nothing, After All, But Poor,
Weak Imitators.
The more the investigators dig into
the buried past, the less and less original
and important we become. A man has
just found in Egypt proofs of trademarks
and signatures in the bottles and brands,
and things which were in use 1000 years
before the Christian era, including
alphabetical writing, which was sup
posed to be quite modern invention.
He has even found a baseball among
the ruins, and quite possibly the next
thing will be record of the champions
and the rules of the game, which will
probably prove that modern sport to be
quite in it's infancy with us. Some of
these old. buried cities will yet turn out
to have been lighted by electricity, and
cable car tracks in cement and iron will
be found yet under the tropical forests.
The only thing that seems to be wanting
in those old places is money. There
does not appear to be any cataclysm or
catastrophe sudden or active enough to
prevent the community in town from
getting away with its money before it
was destroyed. Vesuvius caught few
people in it's lava stream in Pompeii and
Herculaneum, but somebody seems to
have got away with the money. If they
have excavated any banks, the deposi-
tors or the populace seem to have exca-
waited them before the lava reached
them. But so far as we can get much
practical knowledge, we have developed
a capacity for enduring troubles, dis
eases and dangers that our ancestors
could never have stood.-San Francisco

THE VANDERBILT RICHES.

Something About the Institution In Which
They Are Stored.
There is no better place in which to
see evidences of tangible wealth, belong
ing to women as we'll ss men, than the
Lincoln National Bank. In the glass
partitioned and quite sumptuous room
of the president of that institution, very
busy at a massive and Uttered desk,
sat ex-Postmaster General Thomas l..
James. Evidently in his experience
first as postmaster here in Now York,
and then as Postmaster General at the
head of our tremendous mail service,
Mr.. James trained his natural abilities
so as to make of himself thorough
paced master of business affairs. That
was the judgment of the late William
II. Vanderbilt anyhow, and subsequently
of all the other male Vanderbilts, for
he was chosen to organize and manage
the Vanderbilts' bank and safe deposit
vaults. This is the fiscal institution for
the enormous Vanderbilt properties, be-
sides doing general banking business
for the neighborhood of the Grand Cen
trail depot.
Its massive building contains the fire.

himself getting rich or not, but the
financial operations in which he is an
executive factor are big enough to daze
anybody not accustomed to the dazzle of
gold. Nfillionaires of both sexes are as
plenty on those premises as paupers in
the poor-house, and the dowagers and
damsels of extreme riches, too, troop
there to put in or take out money, doc

AN ANTI-FAT DOCTOR.
He Makes His Patients Thin by Not Allow
ing Them Liquids.

He Makes HIS Patients Thin by Not Allow.
ing Them Liquids.
DR.. Schweniger, the German doctor
who gave Prince Bismarck new lease
of life by curing him of his obesity, is
now one of the most influential men in
Berlin. His list of lady patients is as
long as the Inter den Linden drive, and
he asks and gets fees that turn the other
doctors green with envy. His system
consists principally of doing without
liquids. No beer at all, and the strain
of doing without this is very nearly sufti-
cient to reduce German to skeleton;
no coffee, except once day small cup
full, very hot and with no milk and one
lump of sugar; no tea, and no water. If
the patient suffers from tuirst she may
may eat fruit, suck the juice of an orange
or mix the juice of a lemon with few
tablespoonfuls of water and drink it.
When the thirst becomes difficult to
bear any longer a cupful of boiling
water, as hot as it can be drunk, is al
lowed. It is surprising to find, however,
with what a very small quantity of liquid
one can accustom ones self to live. At
first Prof. Schweniger's patients pro-
test loudly their inability to do with
out liquid of some sort, but his invaria-
BILE reply is every we'll, madame, you
can do as you like, but don't expect to
get thin" That always reduces them
to terms, and though they find it diff
cult at first they soon learn to live very
comfortably on few teaspoonfuls of
liquid in twenty-four hours and rejoice
to find their too, too solid flesh begin
ming to decrease "visibly." The Ger
man women are all prone to besh, and
hardly are they out of their teens before
they begin to thicken alarmingly and
grow ponderous and unwieldly. Even
the theatrical people can not conquer
the national tendency, and resort to
tight lacing to in some measure over
come their avoirdupois. One of the lead
ing a, tresses in Berlin lies every after
noon for an hour with cracked ice in a
cloth wrapped around her body to numb
it so that she can bear the lacing for the
nights performance, which is done by
two muscular maids.-Berlin Letter.

A LONE REGULATOR.
How the Lottery Business Was Dlsoontin-
ued at Dodge City. Kan.

u00 8t OOQgo CITY, Kan.
Nowadays Eastern municipal rule is
so bound in by law and hedged about by
ordinance and charter that the authori-
ties are but part of the machine itself,
directed by and not directing. Once in
awhile we get Mayor Gleason, who,
axe in hand, heads his forces to demol-
ish the distractions of railroad corpo-
ration; or an Alexander Shepherd, who
in single night rips up a usurping rail-
road track and lays granite pavement
whore the rails had lain. But those
days are about done, methinks.
Larry Deger, marshal of Dodge City,
Kan, was one of that type. Dodge City
was at all times rough town. But Mas
terson and his gang rode it rough-shod.
1t was useless to interfere with them so
long as they ran a straight game, but
let any crookedness develop and Mar
shall Deger was after the guilty ones.
A crowd of sharpers opened place
near the depot where they ran a lottery.
They had a stock of watches, jewelry,
revolvers, silver, and so forth. The
railroad men, cowboys and square
heads" as the Scandinavians were
called, were roped in to trying the lot
terry. A long box of envelopes were
shown, each one containing number,
which number was supposed to draw
some of the articles temptingly dis
played in the showcase. But no out
slider ever drew prize Of any value.
Deger arrested the sharpers several
times, but the justice invariably let
them off with nominal fine, and they
Immediately resumed business. One
day he walked in with drawn revolver.
"This sure-thing game has been rum
ming long enough" said he. tive told
you fellows to skip town half dozen
times.''
He put one of his big arms under the
showcase and picked it up.
cpl kill every man that draws gun,''
he remarked as he started to the street.
They knew him, and though they swore
considerable, not a gambler touched his
pistol. Arriving in the middle of the
street Deger dropped his load, and then,
throwing his $50 pounds of flesh and
bone on the case, danced wild Berser-
kir war-dance on it until it's contents
were destroyed. Then he returned to
the room, kicked down all the fixtures,
drove out the sharpers, locked tho door
as he went out and put the key in his
pocket.
ssNow, if you want to sue me-" said
he, ego ahead. l am . man Of sub
stance, and will pay any Judgment you
can get.'
The sharpers tried to get the gamblers
to mob the marshal, but his ''draw" and
tremendous strength were too we'll
known, and Deger ruled the roost.-
