The Secret of Toll.
Harper's Bazaar.

In reading that delightful book by Lady
Dutferin, Our Vice-Regal Life in India y
one is constantly struck with the extraord-
mary qualities of the English-speaking
race. Here are these Englishmen, am
bassadors, army officers, visitors, often men
of noble or even royal blood, nurtured in
luxury, yet spending their energies in
de1lslng for themselves the most robust
anu exhausting physical labors In an
alien cline, beneath an Indian sun. thew
are up early and out late, hunting, Fl shing,
| tennls-playing, fitting at rings, tent-peg-
glng, playing polo, riding steeplechases,
and taking part in dozen other laborious
or dangerous exercises, while the calm
Orlentals look blindly on, wondering IF
this Is JOY" Nor is it the Englishmen
alone; wherever he goes the American is
not far behind him. Stanley, though Eng
llsh by birth, still proclaims himself
American by rearing and citizenship; and
his follower, Thomas Stevens, who en-
cicled the world on bicycle, is American
by training, also. In the university town
where live the fields are full every after
noon OF young students running, jumping,
playing base ball or cricket, or lacrosse. or
polo. or hare and hounds; they are rowing
on the rivers, they are engaged in hard
physical labor under the name of play. |
can scarce recall greater triumph of man
over his accidents than when at Paris, at
the exposition, summer of 1873, some young
American actually organized baseball club
and used to play in the Bols de Boulogne
when the thermometer stood at 80 degrees.
What is the explanation of all this
amazing activity if, as is often said, man
is naturally lazy and hates exertion? The
answer is that the theory is pure inven-
ton, and that man-at least the English
speaking man of the temperate zones-is
by nature one of the most energetic of
created things The reply is, moreover,
that the secret of willing toll is found in
inclination; the labor we delight in phys
les pain To the child constant activity
is delight and sitting still is a punish
ment; but in some tropical races this in
stinct is soon effaced, while in northern
races; and especially the English-speaking,
it endures forever.

ABOUT BEING DROWNED.
IT'S Very Unpleasant at First, but After
ward Becomes Delicious Sensation.

I'm one sense at least" said the hero to
the Detroit Free Press man. as the others
gathered around him, 81 may be said to
have died and now have come to life
again.
How was that?"

of course, three times, the way all drown
ing people do. The first time | went
down | had no thought of DEATH simply

strength. But no help came, and as | saw
the shore fade from my view as the waters
closed over my head sudden transition in

vealed to me. Then began the struggle

must live; | must not die. | was not
ready to die. My life had been too short
and so much remained unfuIflled In one
great and overpowering flood of feeling
there suddenly rushed over me all my
deeds OF other days. all the wrong | had
ever done, all the evil of my life; all the
! shortcomings, failings and weakness of nv
past career. 1t seemed to me that stood
before some terrible bar of justice and was
just about to be condemned to eternal pun
lshment. A dreadful noise of waters
filled my ears, translated, in my frenzy, to
demons bounding me to death Great
streaks of red and blue light flashed be-
fore my eyes, and everything took on the
hue of death. Then came sudden transi-
ton from the horrible to the ecstatic. The
waves became soft as downy pillows; the
noises In my ears were changed to delici-
Gus, sleep-in-spring harmonies, while my
thoughts themselves became sweet and
soothing as in some vague, enchanting
dream. The numbness that stole over my
senses was the dull, cold touch of death:
but to me it was also the fullness and the
ecstacy of life. When | was finally re-
suscltated, they told me that | had been
down seven minutes, and that even the
bravest among them mad given up hope.
But am this much of fatalist, boys, for
| believe that he who is born for the gal
lows will never be drowned-so | am with
you here to-day"

FARM NOTES.

Sow grass seed on all the bare places on
the lawn. A mixture of blue grass and
white clover will make an excellent lawn.
All lawn plots should be seeded as early as
possible
Should fowls that have been afflicted
with roup show the effects of the disease
during the summer. the difficulty of effect
ing cure Is too great, and the flock should
be destroyed.
Stock need salt when green food is plen-
tlful more than at any other time. The
lack of salt sometimes causes injurious eff
fects from green food that might be avoid
ed by its use for stock.
If it pays some farmers to raise the
dairy cows that are purchasci by dairy
men, who sell their calves. it should pay
the dalryman to raise his own COWS, es-
pecially if he does so with the aim of i'm
proving his herd.
On all fields where the mowers are to be
used the advantage of the land having
been previously rolled can be moved
easier, and the work done more completely
than where the land is rough.
Gilt-edge butter depends for its quality
not only upon the breed and feed to a GER
tain extent, but more so on the skill of the
dairyman. The first requisite is cleanli-
ness, which begins at the stable and
ends with the packing of the butter for
market.
Grain may be fed literally to COWS when
they are in full flow of milk, but if the
cows are drying off previous to calving IT
it is better to withhold all grain if the
animals are in good condition, in order
TO avoid milk fever at calling time. Pien-
ty of grass is sufficient for dry COWS, grain
being unnecessary

Approaching in the distance is what
looks like good-sized straw stack, and
you wonder to see it moving with no
visible means Of locomotion, until you hear
the sharp cry Of boy behind it and see
beneath it four little white hoofs, and
know that under the strewstack is poor
little donkey not tenth part as large as
the burden he carries, and you long for a
Berch, as you are always longing for him
in Naples, and especially when there comes
from the country cart loaded with ten
or twelve people and drawn by one small
horse, who, however, trots along cheer
fully, as if content with the station of life
in which he was born.
1t is a strange life the Neapolitans lead
and you are never tired of watching it,
or them, in their fanciful costumes their
red kerchiefs around their head, their blue
bodices and white sleeves, their gayly-
striped skirts and scarlet stockings, the
whole making picture which you leave
rather unwillingly for the newer portion
of the town. with its hotels and gardens

handsome villas which overlook the sea.

A DELICIOUS RESORT
for the family when the sun overhead is
hot and the breeze comes cool from the
bay The ladies who are proud and
naughty, seldom walk in public out on
fine afternoons, and especially on Sunday,
the Chija and the broad quay which
stretches westward along the coast are fill
ed with the splendid turnouts of the no.
bility; the men dignifed and grand, the
women exceedingly beautiful in their
eleGant toilettes and diamonds, scarcely
brighter than their eyes, which they know
so we'll how to use. When she is here the
lovely Queen Margharita is often out with
her red lavaries, her face wreathed in
smiles which seem to be genuine, as she
bows alike to the prince and the beggar,
all of whom greet her with demonstrations
of royalty, for with her husband King
Humbert, she is a general favorite
And so, in far away Naples, the busy,
active outdoor life goes from years end
to years end, with little or no change ex-
cept in midsummer, when the heat drives
the people from the streets and quays to
any shelter they can find or in the winter,
when the wind blows cold from both hill
side and sea. And even then you will in
the evening often come upon crowds Of
people in the outskirts of the city sitting
around fire in some retired spot, telling
stories, repeating poetry, singing songs,
and sometimes improvising dance to
the sound of two Or three cracked violins,
while the freight which falls upon their
faces ana brings out more distinctly the
quaintness of their many colored costumes
makes tableau which, once seen, cannot
be easily forgotten. MARY J. HOLMES.

The Secret of Happiness.
John Borroughs.

Happiness comes most to people who
seek her least and think least about her. 1t
is not an object to be sought; it is state
to be induced. 1t must follow and not
lead. 1t must overtake you, and not you
overtake it. "a contented mind is the
first condition of happiness, but what is
the first condition of a contented mind?
You will be disappointed when tell you
what this all important thing is, it is so
common, so near at hand, and so many
people have so much of it and yet are not
happy. They have too much of it, or else
the kind that is not best suited to them.
What is the best thing for stream? 1t
is to keep it moving. If it stops it stag
mates. So the best thing for man is that
whicbkeeps the currents going, the physi-
cal, moral and intellectual currents. Hence
the secret of happiness something TO
do: some congenial work. Take away the
occupation of all men and what wretch
ed world it would be. Half of it would
commit suicide in less than ten days.

CONCERNING TIE HAND.
The Way in Which One Manages 1t an In
deX to Breeding.

One Of the most common signs of want
of good breeding is sort of uncomforta-
BILE consciousness of the hands, an obvious
ignorance of what to do with them, and a
painful awkwardness in their adjustment
The hands of gentleman seem perfectly
at home without being occupied; they are
Infatuated to elegant repose, or if they
spontaneously move it is attractiyely.
Some of Queen Elizabeth's courtiers made
playing with their sword hilts an ac-
compishment, and the most efficient wea-
pom of the Spanish coquette is her fan.
Strength in the fingers is sure token of
mental aptitude. When Mutius burned
MS hand off before the eyes of his captors
he gave the most lndubitable proof we can
imagine of fortitude, and it was natural
that amid the ferocious bravery of feudal
times bloody hand in the center of an
escutcheon should become the badge of a
baronet of England
AN old Quaker lady tells in her quaint
way this story of Emerson: Thee knows
that when Mr.. Emerson was abroad he
went to Egypt, and while there he stood
one morning in front CT the Sphinx, and
gazed long and earnestly at the silent
figure. There they STOOD Emerson gazing
at the Sphinx and the Sphinx at Emerson.
The silence was heavy. Suddenly the lips
Of the stone figure trembled, and the
mystic words, YOU'RE another!' fell from
them"
