A CHEERFUL SPIRIT.
Efforts to Be Permanently Useful Must Be
Uniformly Joyous.

Uniformly Joyous.
"Half of the battle of life" says
writer, tconsists in keeping up a
cheerful spirit" How true! They
who complain of ills and disappoint-
ments and assert that Wife is not
worth living" are lacking seriously
in cheerfulness. They have not
learned one of the most important
lessons-that life has character for
good or Ill, according to our habit of
viewing it. Some years ago we
attended religious service on Sun
day in church near our residence
but to which we rarely went. But
the discourse that was delivered by
the aged minister interested us
deeply, from beginning to end. 1t
was not brilliant discourse, yet full
of the thought and earnest comment
that proceed from long experience.
The subject was Thankfulness, the
speaker dwelling upon the healthful.
comforting influence of that cheerful
habit of mind that sees something
to inspire thankfulness in every event
of life. A day or two later we
learned that the aged minister had
left the dying bed of daughter that
very morning to perform the duties
Of his ministry, and when the service
was concluded he fastened back to
! her side.
What help can depressed. melan-
cholY spirit afford? How unreasonable
to expect any thing at all beneficial
from tone of mind that is Responding
morbid and gloomy. The simplest
practical wisdom warns against the
indulgence of such temper. Ad-
mitted that circumstances are un.
favorable even to the degree of
desperation, does it pay to cultivate
misery by brooding upon them, and

heart the horrid corpse of our mis-

and with an upward, cheerful face
energetically address ourselves to the
duties of our station. That dyspeptic,
irascible old Scotsman, Carlyle, could
appreciate the value of this princely
virtue-for he says in his inimitable
manner:
"Wondrous is the strength of
cheerfulness; altogether past calcu-
lation is it's power of endurance.
Efforts to be permanently useful
must be uniformly joyous-a spirit
all sunshine-graceful from very
gladness, beautiful because bright"

Changing Canaries, Color.

The following is from the proceedings
of the Berlin Physiological Society:
Starting with tho observed fact that cana
ries, fed with cayenne pepper, acquire a
ruddy plumage, DR.. Sauermann has based
upon it a scientific investigation of cana
ries, fowls, pigeons, and other birds
From these he obtained the following re.
suits: Feeding with pepper only producer
an effect when given to young birds be.
fore they moult; the color OF the feathers
of older birds cannot be affected Moist.
ure facilitates the change of color to rud.
dy hue, which is again discharged unde,
the influence of sunlight and cold.
A portion of the constituents of cay
enne pepper is quite inactive, as, for
instance, piperin and several extractives;
similarly the red coloring matter alone of
the pepper has no effect on the color Of
the feathers. It is rather the triolein,
which occurs in the pepper in large guam
titles, together with the Characteristic
pigment which brings about the change
of color, by holding the red pigment of
the pepper in solution Glycerine may
be used instead of triolein to bring about
the same result.
The same statement holds good with
regard to the feeding of birds with aniline
colors. The reu pigment Of the pepper
is also stored in the egg yelk as we'll as
in the feathers. The first appearance of
the pigment in the yelk may be observed
as colored ring four days after the COM
mencement of feeding with the pigment
dissolved in fat. After a further two
days feeding the whole yelk is colored.

COUNTERFEITERs CAUGHT.

Chief Brooks of the secret service
division of New York has had his men
at work night ana day for months in the
effort to unearth a gang of expert counter
feiters who have been driving a thriving
trade in showing the queer in this city, but
it was only the other day that Mr.. Brooks
had the satisfaction of seeing three of the
sharpest members of the gang brought be-
fore Commissioner Shields, who held
them each in $1,000 bail for exami-
nation. Two Of them were women
May McMullen and Lizzie Spears-and
the third was Joseph McMullen. Mays
putative husband. Lizzie was caught in
a butcher shop where she was purchasing
few cents worth of bologna sausage for
which she gave a bogus silver dollar in
payment. After close questioning she di-
vulged the name of tho party from whom
she obtained her supply of base coin,
which she afterward said was lie. The
secret-service officers found only few of
the base coins on the women and they had
intended to keep the arrests secret in the
hope of running the whole gang to cover.

epidemic was so serious among the soldiers
i'll the garrison here that the review pro-
posed for the 2Stn mad to be omitted.
ST. Petersburg cable: The Car has
suffered severely from the prevailing cpl

attend the regular Christmas church SER
vice and was also compelled to omit the
customary review of the parade of the
guards. The Empress presided at the
luncheon given in the Anitchotf palace af-
ter the military parade.
Paris cable: In consequence of the
spread of the epidemic the hospitals are
crowded and the authorities have been
compelled to make extraordinary provis-
ion for new patients. This has been done
by the erection of o temporary pavilion in
the grounds of tho Hospital Beaujon. In

DIR. German See read paper on the
influenza before the Academy of Medicine

not encourage tho opinion that tho cpl
denlic was without gravity. He said that
the patients were very apt to have pneu-
monia or bronchitis in fatal FORMS DR..
Dujordin Beaumet. disagreed with Dr.
See. He believed that the epidemic was
form of the dengue--a peculiar, erratic
epidemic fever, allied to the rheumatic
affections. He had observed that it pre-
seDted two phases, first nervous phase
and next catarrhal phase, and that
there was sometimes an eruption "a sim
pie rash The varieties in the disease
were due to tho predominance in case of
any one of these facts.
DIR. Rochard suggested that the rash
might perhaps not be part of the disease,
but only a consequence of the large guam
titles of arti-pyrine given to the patients.
All the speakers concurred in the opinion
that the disease is not harmless, and that
in case of relapse the CONSEQUENCES are

Berlin cable: The public health au-

SORROW AT ATLANTA.

Mourning the Death of the Late Henry
w. Grady.
Atlanta (Ga.) dispatch: No city ever
had sadder Christmas than this has been
for Atlanta. The holiday decorations
We're black and white, and sorrow has
filed every heart. 1t is very doubtful if
ever in the history of the people any pri-
vate citizen at least has been as universal
ly mourned as Henry w. Grady. From
all parts of the country and from people
in oil walks Of life have come messages Of
coincidence to those whose grief is most
intense. From all over the South and
many cities in the North delegations came
to attend the funeral.
The day was bright and beautiful and
balmy as spring, At 8 O'Clock the pail
bearers and the honorary escort, tog ether
with committees from the organizations
to which Mr.. Grady belonged, gathered at
the house. For half hour friends
were permitted to look upon the face
of the dead and then the body was borne
to the First Methodist church, where it
lay in state. The floral tributes at
the church were beautiful. For four hours
people were allowed to pass by the casker.
Delegations from all the cities of Georgia
were present There was notably large
number of colored people, and they mani
tested sincere sorrow at the loss Of a true
friend The Constitution employees, headed
by the proprietors and editors of the pa
per, came in body. Then they went to
the house to form the honorary escort
from the house to the church.
The services were the simplest possible.
This was the wish of Mrs. Grady. DIR.
Morrison, DR. Glenn, DR.. Lee, DR.. Bennett
and DR.. Hopkins ofticated. The choir
sang "Shall we gather at the river?''s
Mr.. Grady's favorite hymn. There
we're no eulogies, no remarks of any
kind. From the church to Oakland
cemetery the body was followed by
the largest procession ever seen in
Georgia, and that too with no display or
music of any kind. Military companies
from all parts of the State had asked to be
allowed place In the line, but were re-
fused. At the cemetery the body was
placed in the vault of Capt. w. d. Grant.
The final burial will take place at West
view cemetery as soon as q vault can be
built. The young men Of Georgia have
started a monument fund, and in enc day
without any effort at canvassing have
raised So, 900.

Abrupt Transitions.

1t was justice of the high court to
whom, in former days, was attributed the
famous exordium of a charge to a jury
in case of larceny: For forty cen
turtles the thunders of Sinai have echoed
through the world, Thou shalt not steal
This is also principle of the common
law and rule of equity" When Swift
and Pope made their celebrated excur-
sions into the art of sinking into poetry
they never contrived any batnos moro
perfect Or complete than this. Almost as
delightful, though expressed without the
same literary skill, is the sentence of
president of court martial: Prisoner,
not only have you committed murder,
but you have run bayonet through the
breeches of one of her Majesty's uni
FORMS" Perhaps, however. the best
of all such judicial utterances is that
ascribed to o rural justice of the peace:
Prisoner, q bountiful Providence has
endowed you with health and strength,
instead of which you go round the coun-
try stealing hens"
