and always complaining. You see, then,
that wealth can do nothing for those who
do not know how to use the advantages
they have. The ancients told in their
fables of the daughters of a king who
were condemned in the Internal regions
to continually draw water in buckets
without bottoms. 1t is precisely so with
you, Friend Antoine. The happiness after
which you have vainly chased since your
youth you will never, as you hope. over
take 1t is not in riches, nor in power,
nor in anything that gathers about our
lives. God has put it nearer our own
door He has put it within our own
selves"

A Clever Stratasem. =.

When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chill stratagem was
resorted to in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part OF
the Araucanian Indians and maintain
the connection between the strongholds
on the frontier. There were at the time
between 40 and so captive Indians in the
Chilian camp General Pinto called them
together, and, pointing to the telegraph
wires said:
DO you see those wires!"
Yes, general"
i want you to remember not to &c
near or touch them, for if you do you,
hands will be held and you will be un'
able to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the IL. neral made them each in sue.
cession take hold of the wire at both
ends of an electric battery in full opera,
ton, after which he exclaimed:
81 command you to let go the wire!"
II can't; my hands are benumbed!
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them tc
liberty, giving them strict injunctions to
Eeep the secret and not betray it to their
countrymen.
This had the desired effect, for, as
might be expected, the experience was
related i'll the strictest confidence to
every man in the tribe, and the tele-
graph has ever since remained unmo.
lested.

Did 1t ever occur to you that athletes
are rarely longlived? BY athletes mean
the folks who are training themselves
continually for special feats of muscular
power, and leave out the diettante am
ateur who exercises slightly, compara-
lively speaking, and then with only the
object of physical development. 1t is my
opinion, as rule, the professional ath
lere is not a very good risk for the life
insurance people. And this aside from
any risks of physical injury of sudden
oature to which the athlete in the course
Of his performances may be subject |
think it would seriously stump you if
asked you to name a dozen cases of en-
treme longevity among men who have
been famous for their muscular power
and skill. But anybody can name Il
dozen people who have led sedentary
lives from boyhood and attained extreme
old age. Very strange as it may appear,
consumption is a disease to which the
swimmer, the oarsman, the runner, and
the fighter have all on numerous occa-
sions fallen victims. Rheumatism is an
other common disorder. All of which
sometimes makes me think that nature
never intended the development of the
human physical energies to the point at
which they are often observed. The ath-
tete who lives the longest is the man who
used to be an athlete and gave up his ath-
letic fancies and plans before he had
reached middle life. Otherwise you find
that the average of years on earth of ath-
letes is surprisingly low.-Interview with
Boston Trainer.

THE FAMILY HEARTHSTONE
II Is the Sitting Room. and Should R.
as Cosy rs Possible.

as Cosy Possible.
No room in the home so perfectly typ
ifies the communism of a family, the
true uniting in diversity of the ind-
viduals, as the sitting room. 1t is the
center of the social life of the household
1t is mothers ROOM" There she is
oftenest found in her moments of leisure
ready to hear, to sympathize, to console,
and to advise. Here the father frolics
with his children; here they listen to
song and story read aloud here the
troubles of the day dwindle and disap-
pear, OF are softened and lessened by
united sympathizing and soothing sur
roundings; here nuts and mild jokes are
cracked, and rosy apples and fragrant
organges lend their flavor and juicy rich
ness to the homely scene. while without
the wind blows, the rain falls, or the
snow flies.
To make this room the ideal hearth
stone, its furnishings should contain
elements that appeal to the tastes and
pursuits of each of the members of the
household. There should be room, if
possible, for favorite chairs and for
shelves or bookcases, and tables for each
ones choice of books and papers, and for
undisturbed corners and cozy hooks, if
each has only chair and footstool. or
portion of the drawer, or "A curtained
shelf.
Given the bare bones of chairs. carpets,
tables, and curtains, the rounded form
and vigorous expression of the sitting
moral life of the family, grow out of that
social, intellectual, and spiritual FOOD on
which the family feeds.
The home is for the family and not tho
world, and there should never be a mo-
ment's hesitancy if narrow means compel
the furnishing of but one room--a parIdt'
or sitting room. Let the sitting room
come first.

HOW TO BE HAPPY.
Or at Least How Not to He '.Perfectl,
Miserable.'

Or nt Least How Not to He "PerfectI,
Miserable.
1t is an axiom, and has become com.
monplace, writes Jenny June" (NIrs
Croly), in the HOmemdker, that the pur
suit of happiness defeats itself; but
nevertheless, since the formulators of the
Declaration of Independence laid it down
as human right great many people
spend their lives in vain chase after il
as if it was something to be bottled and
taken like Apollinaris or Geisshubler.
Happiness is elusive, because ideas are
so vague in regard to its nature, and be.
cause it consists of such very different
things for different people, and usually
the thing wanted is the very opposite OF
that which each one has in possession.
With many happiness is a simple proc,
ess of elimination-the getting rid OF
what has become burden. The difficulty
is that the naturally human instinct is tG
hold on; there is nothing more difficult
than to give up, to sacrifice that which
we possess, or even that which we are,
and see others get the benefit. This is il
money making and money worshipine
age; but it is not money for its own
sake; it is because money represents
power, pleasure, luxury, participation i'll
world of new delights; because new,
wide doors have opened that all desire to
enter, but can not, for the keys are of
gold, and the labor to make them effect
i've costly.
Perhaps the first step toward being
happy is to find out what makes you I'M
happy and eliminate it; but be very sure
you eliminate the right thing.
1t does not really take much to make
people happy. Sunshine for light and
warmth, fresh air for growth, water for
refreshment, food for strength, parental
love, friendship, companionship, and the
blessedness of work to give perpetual in
ierest to life, and produce comfort and
beauty everywhere.
All these lie at our feet: are ready
made to our hands.
There are two positive recipes in this
world for unhappiness. One is ideness,
the other accumulation. More than your
share of anything makes you miserable,
whether it be dirt, money, neckties, old
papers, or poor relations.
1t is great blessing to be born into Il
productive, working life, and a greater
blessing still to be fitted into that work
ing place, to feel a sense Of mastery in it.
This is the way to true happiness.
Another secret of happiness is to cuI.
tivate the "lucky' people. Lucky peo-
pie are the sound people, honest people.
wholesome people, the healthy and
straightforward people.

Remarkable Exhibition OF Endurance
tn :Initiating Brave.'

Remarkable Exhibition OF Endurance
in "Initiating a Brave"
or all the spectacles I ever saw and do
not wish to see again, deliver me from
an Indian brave making" The Indians
of the Northwest make braves" now
just as suppose they did 100 years ago,
and the performance is the most hair
raising exhibition ever beheld. 1t is a
public ceremonial. All the men, women,
and children, and dogs too, of the village,
are gathered together, and the various
articles of braves paraphernalia are
laid out in order before the candidates
There are robes and rifles and knives,
feathers and moccasins, and other arti-
cles of apparel, and when the performers
are ready an old chief steps up, takes a
robe and makes long speech about it..
Then the horns and rattles and drums
strike up and all dance, yelling at the top
of their voices. Other speeches are made,
and then a candidate is brought forward.
An incision is made with large knife on
each side of his breast and a long, strong
stick is thrust through, the ends are fast
ened to cords large enough to bear his
weight, and the cords are thrown across
a beam. He dances, yelling with all his
might and occasionally throwing himself
backward so as to bring his whole weight
on the skewer through his breast. This
is done in the effort to tear out the skewer
by rending the flesh, but sometimes it
fails, and when it does, after the chief
has become satisfied with the fortitude
Of the victim, the cords are loosed. If
any doubt remains, half dozen Indians
lake hold Of the cords and drag the can
didate around until convinced that he is
really capable of enduring any pain. He
S then "a brave" and enrolled among
;he warriors. The whole ceremony il;
'iclleningly brutal, and the painted bod
.cs of the participants, their tiendish
cries and demoniac dances render it as
near an approach to a dance of demons
as Dante could ever have imagined. st.

Wonder sh. Discovered II So Soon

A public school teacher has just made
indirectly an important discovery. For
over year she has had pupil in one OF
her classes who seemed utterly dumb
except when told to repeat something.
On account of the child's inability tc
make the progress the teacher expected,
she sent him to the principal so that thai
worthy might give him the benefit of his
extraordinary wisdom. Through some
strange mischance the principal dis.
covered that the little fellow wasn't able
to speak word of English.
