THE ENJOYMENT or LIFE.

There are a great many persons

are forever reaching out Tor some
ding beyond them. While il is
FOLLY TO pursue a life Of mere self.
i<h qualification, ii is the duty OF
all to Try To ENJOY themselves in
this world TO be happy and con.
tented where heaven has placed
them. There are many people who
miss the pleasures OF life because
they are Indifferent to the pleas
ures of nature. They do not stop,
as Ruskin saws, 80 watch the corn
grow or the blossom set" but rush
on in feverish haste i'll pursuit Of
money, az if that were a certain
road To enjoyment. The morning
song OF the thrush, the cleaning
OF The humming birds plumage>
the beauty OF lakes and the majes-
tic grandeur OF mountains bring
no pleasure To some natures.
Many people lose all enIovment in
life because they / hypOcritical.
They are forever in search Of flaws
and lmperiectiOns instead of look
ing at The best side. No picture or
work of art gives them genuine
pleasure, because they are mol
content with it. They find some
slight error which no one else pos
,ibIy has discovered, and it over
balances their enjoyment Of a no
BILE effort of the artist. A taste OF
genuine art is one of the most no
BILE and refining of which man is
capable. 1t is an inspiration TO a
noble nature to higher living and
better thinking. Many lovers OF
music seem so critical in their ap-
probation that they lose all pleas
urr in amy performance that
they attend. A discriminating
taste is an excellent gilt, but this
is a different thing from a hyper
critical taste. Many persons TAIL to
enjoy their homes for the same rea
son. They always find more needs
that cannot be filled than pleasures
to enjoy. Nothing, in short, gives
them true enjoyment tor any
length of lime. One of the most
frequent causes OF dissatisfaction
is fickleness of taste. Nothing
seems of any value to some people
after il is fairly in their grasp
The most beautiful gem altar of
becomes a common pebble in their
hands. A bird in the bush seems
far more beautiful than one in he

happy until they learn 10 take
pleasure in what they have. Ii l.
the small things of life, enjoymenls
OF the hour, that make up The sum
OF human happiness. Those who
do no fine p~leasUre enough to be
happy in the position in which they
r placed, need seek no further
In short, enjoyment comes from
within; it is the disposition oil the
man, not his surroundings, that
makes or mars his life. Put the
disconted laborer, who complains
against the law of heaven that he
should earn his bread by The sweat
of his brow, in a palace, and he
would still find cause for grum-
bling. There are not enough

In this connection I may a. well tell
another story that was told me of the real
cause of the GOODNESS between Secretary
Blaine and Senator Chandler, writes
Washington correspondent. The latter,
believe, used to be one Of Mr.. Blaine's
warmest admirers and most trusted lieu
tenants, and the rupture came about
through the wives Of the two men. Mrs.
Blaine's brusqueness of manner is well
known and her capacity for saying sharp
and cutting things is proverbial. Mrs.
Chandler is good deal Of Tartar her.
self. She is Mr.. Chandler's second wife
and she has no love for the children BY
his former marriage. The BIaines have
known the senator for many years and
Mrs. Blaine has always had a kindly feel
ing for the two Chandler boys who were
left motherless. One time at a dinner
party, at which Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine and
Mr.. and Mrs. Chandler were present, Mrs.
Blaine asked Mrs. Chandler about Joe,
one Of the sons. Mrs. Chandler replied
that she didn't know anything about him
and didn't care anything about him; that
she had given Mr.. Chandler distinctly to
understand when she married him that
the moment Joe set his foot into the house
she would walk out.
Mrs. Blaine looked at the speaker mo-
ment and then in her coolest and most
rasping tone said: swell, the sooner Joe
comes back home the better 1t will be for
Mr.. Chandler
That was some years ago, SO they tell
me, but from that moment the two ladies
hated each other with q religious bitter
ness, and their husbands were obliged 10
dissolve political partnership.

W0nen's Pictures.

ssThe best selling photographs of to-
day." said clerk In q Broadway store
that makes speciality of selling the photo
graphs Of local and foreign celebrities,
s'are those of Mrs. Langtry, Mrs. Potter,
Mary Anderson, Jane Hading. Edwin
Booth aud Maurice Barrymore. The sale
of Mrs. Cleveland's likeness fell off one
half last fall. The demand for the pic
lures of Mary Anderson and Mrs. Langtry
has continued uninterruptedly for the
past seven or eight years. Mems tastes
are much less tickle than women's. For
instance, the photographs of popular &C
tors vary in their demand as much as the
styles in spring bonnets. A few months
ago Kyrle Bellows photos sold better
than any others in that class. Now there
is hardly any demand for them at all.
Since he began playing with Mrs. Potter
his female admirers have deserted him.
Maurice Barrymore Is the present femi-

when he was given a chance to play a ro-
mantle and heroic part In Captain Swift.
