The secret OF Happiness.

Not long ago Professor Blackie had oc-
casion to be in the Fair City-Perth. He
was waiting for certain train, and was
marching up and down the platform
whistling gayly and for all the world
like schoolboy en- route home for his
holidays. A gentleman near by, at once
recognizing the picturesque figure and
wishing to enter into conversation with
him, went mp TO him and asked him:
Professor, may | ask the secret of
your happinessy
The genial professor smiled and an
swered:
well. here is the secret of my happi-
ness: | have no vain regrets for the past.
| look forward with hope to the future
and always strive to do my duty.
There, he ended emphatically, you
have it, And he straightway set TO
and walked up and down again. whistling
as before. London Tit-BIts.

CONTINENTS.
Description OF tho ReposIng Places oil
the Remains OF Theosophy's Greatest
Priestess-PIans for the Final Funeral
Ceremonies.
I was n matter of much surprise to

1t was matter of much surprise to
many persons who have carefully kept
track of the Philosophical society that
Mime. BlavatslSy should have nude no
definite arrangements before her death
as to the disposition that should be
made of her ashes
1T is unqucstionably true that she
left positive directions to be cremated,
but so far as the public has learned she
said nothing whatever as TO whether
her ashes should be buried scattered
or pres crvcd, or as to who should have
the guardianship of them. The ques-
ton is now definitely settled, but it
cannot be ascertained that it is settled
in accordance with any desire expressed
by herself, or, indeed, that she eX-
pressed any desire in the matter.
1t is altogether likely, indeed, that
she did not, for it is certain that after
her death the Thcosophical society
(which has now divided the ashes in
three parts, feared that the relatives
of the famous woman would interfere
with the arrangements for the crcma-
ton or would claim the ashes after the
remains had been burned.
1t was not so simple matter as it
might seem, and it was not settled until
after it had been discussed at the Lon
don convention in July of last year and
a consultation had been held between

Fight with a Shark.

The "New Zealand Herald" describes
o desperate fight between a man and
q shark in Manukau harbor. The
man was beacon-light keeper, and
was out in his boat, when it was
struck by squall and swamped, and
the occupant left in the water. After
trying to right the boat, without
success, he grasped an oar, and, be-
ing good swimmer, struck out for
land; but as the tide was running he
was swept down the harbor a dis
lance OF three miles. At that point
he was attacked by a large shark,
which grabbed at his hand. He pro,
tected himself, however, with the oar,
which he tried to ram down the
sharks throat. The fish reiterated,
and when it renewed the attack the
man had his sheath-knife drawn, and
desperately stabbed the shark in tho
side The water instantly became red
with blood, and the shark swan
away in great haste. Just then q
boat came in sight, and the beacon
light keeper was hauled in, having
been in the water two hours and
thirty minutes.

Eton, TOreador and Russian Jackets.

The Eton jacket is in high vogue for
girls and for youthful, slender women
by all others it is, or ought to be, re-
jected. A pretty English-made
costume is of pale blue serge, the skirt
quite plain and finished with few
rows of silk stitching. The Eton jacket
has lapels faced with blue silk dotted
with white, and opens to show a neat
white silk shirt waist and a soft, blaze
dotted silk sash tied corsair-lilxc round
the waist, carefully secured to the
skirt at the back to prevent it riding
up, and tied in soft bow at the side.
This forms fascinating costume fox

Eton, Toreador or Russian jackets
looks very smart and often picturesque.
Much depends upon the wearer. There
is ca rage for all theses garments,
though they are very far from new;
but they are as ludicrous and absurd
on a stout, short figure as they are at
tractive on those they suit.

Most impressive of the three resting
places which the great thcosophist's
ashes are to find will be the dagoba

lion in Adyar, near Madras, India,
where the Theosophical society has a
property of some twenty-one acres
fronting on the big maps.
A dagoba is mausoleum in which
'est Che mortal remains of a deity or
saint Buddha's remains are said TO
rest in many of these dagobas in many
countries, and this fact is considered
ample authority by the Theosophical
society for the segregation of the frGc-

means equal in luxurious appointments

three of the most prominent members
of the society.
Col. Henry S. Olcott, who was then
president of the society; Mr.. William
O. Judge, who was and is the general
secretary, and Mrs Annie Besant, who
has been styled Nine. BlavatslSy's sue
ceSSor as the leader of thought but
who disclaims that honor, met in Lon
don shortly after the death of the high
priestess, and with the full concurrence
of the society at large settled the
question. They are unquestionably
the three most prominent theosophists
and there has been no dissent fro
their decision. This was that one part
of the ashes should remain in London
in the keeping of the main society; one
part should go to India in Col. Olcott's
charge, and the third should be brought
to America by Mr.. Judge, to be pre-
served in New York by the American
section. The arrangement proved salts
factory to the convention, and it has
been carried out.
According to precedent, a most
elaborate ceremonial might yet be per-
formed over the ashes, and they might
be scattered over the waves of the sea.
Such ceremony was performed in
New York when the Baron de Palms
ashes were to be scattered. 1t was con-
Quoted by IIindoo priest and was in
strict accordance with the Hindoo
ritual. 1t was expected and proposed
by some theosnphists that this should
be done in Mime. Blavatslly's case, and
1t was even urged that the ashes be
carried to the banks of the sacred river
Ganges and sattered on that river in
accordance with the strictcSt Brah-
minical usage. 1t is not quite clear
