Happiness depends. Dives was NOT happ,
because he was q millionaire, nor LazSru
wretohed because he was paupeP. Their
is quality in the soul Of man that is su
perior 10 circumstances, and that defie
calamity and misfortune. The man who i
unhappy when he is poor would be un
happy if he were rich, and he who is un
happy in palace in Paris would b,
unhappy in q dug-out ON the frontier o
Dakota. There are as many unhappy ricl
men as there are unhappy poor men. Ever
heart knows It's own bitterness and its owl
joy. Not that wealth and what 10 brings il
not desirable-boOks, travel, leisure, com
fort, the best food and raiment, sgreeabl,

eSSarily bring happiness and may coexis'

ton Of the soul.
"MOre true Joy Marcellus exiled feels,
Than Caesar with senate at his heels"
Mrs. Henry Ward Beeoher has this
to say:
Many man works hard every day for a
small remuneration, yet returns at night
to his poor and humble home oon-
tent and happy. He knows that the course
and barely sufficient food awaiting him will
be seasoned by the love with which his wife
awaits his coming. He knows that, while
working as hard as he does for their mutual
support and comfort, yet her love will de-
wise something to make the table more at
traCtive and the food more palstable if
possible. Both patiently continuing in
well-dOing are ever hopeful that little by
little the way will be easier and the heavy
burdens lighter. Half spOrtively, half with
q faint belief they sometimes talk of the
possibility that some day, by their united
efforts, they may build up comfortable
fortune, sufficient TO enable them TO mingle
with "first-Class society"
While love is a very good thing, 1t
may occur to some people who have
not yet realized the value of adapt
ability to circumstances" that even
this felicity would be more enjoyable
with q full stomach. Such false mo-
tions should be abandoned. They
are incompatible with the successful
solution of the problem "How to be
happy though pOor;" and we desire
to aid the Capital in this solution. It
is a lsudable undertaking and should
be encouraged.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox contributes
this recipe:
The only kind of happiness which is not
marred by fear Of loss, change, or misfor-
tune, is usefulness to Others. This is open
TO the poor as we'll as to the rich. IL is not
the bestowing Of money which brings the
greatest JOY TO those about US, but the
consideration of their rights and
feelings.
Some act Of self and kindness per-
formed daily, not always for those most
near and dear, but for casual fellow voyag-
ers over life's seas, will become a happiness
producing habit which will brighten the
dulleSt and darkest lot. Couple with this
habit the power Of mental concentration,
sufficient 10 enjoy q few moments even Of
music, dancing, reading, or social life each
day, and the kings Of the earth may envy
you, and the jay GOulds die without having
known one day Of suOh happiness as you
will find making an eternal fountain within
your bosom.

can fail to be happy even on the road
"over the hill to the poor house."
Fanny Davenport furnishes the
following:
have never really in my life wanted q
cent. But hsveseen much of poverty. /
do not think one is really poor who never
knew sught else and was born in poverty;
but it is the man or woman born in wealth
and then reduced to bitter needs who feels
poor.
The first thing TO do, think, would be to
get something to OCCUPY cne'S entire mind,
80 that the poverty would be half, if not
wholly forgotten; something interesting,
absorbing. Then, if one boards in a very
cheap room, to make it attractive with pOr-
traits of loved ones, bits Of cheap, pretty

HOW TO BE HAPPY THOUGH POOR

support Of a party and a public policy
that have reduced millions Of the
American people TO paupers, is now
engaged in the hopeless task Of en-
deavoring to teach these hspless VIC
Tins Of svariCe how to be happy, and
to really enjoy the priVatiOns and
hardships and miserles Of poverty. In
it's issue Of Sunday, June IL, it has
collected the opinions Of various
writer's upon the subject and spread
them before its readers for a Sabbath
day feast.
The following in the editorial intro
duction to these opinions:
The problem, how to be happy, has en-
gagged the attention Of mankind for ages
past, and will continue to be theme for
popular discussion so long as the human
race survives. The following contributions
upon this interesting subject are from the
pens Of many of the master-minds Of this
country. The question, how TO be happy
though poor, has received special treat
ment, and the views elicited can not but
prove Of absorbing interest and worthy Of
close and careful perusal.
The problem Of "HoW to be happy
though poor" is certainly a very inn
portsnt one. If it can be successfully
solved, it may save many miserable
mortals from suicide, which, now un-
fortunately, too often affords the only
avenue Of escape from the pangs of
hunger. Let us know by all means
how to really enjoy an empty stomach.
This information Is so valuable that
we make no apology to our readers
for quoting from the several opinions
published. Francis Wilson's pre-
scription is as follows:
At first Aush, the only WAY TO BE HAPPY
THOUGH POOH, as it appears TO me, is to get
rich! IL is my honest belief that riches is
no bar TO happiness, but if one will INSIST
upon being poor, and many do form Cul-
pable unwillingness to husband their re-
sources, it seems TO me again that adapt
ability TO circumstances is the one great
thing 10 possess.
daptability--GRAoRBUL adaptability to
ones circumstances will unquesbiOnably |
bring the greatest amount Of happiness to a
man, though poor-Or rich.
do not offer this as brilliant solution
Of the question, but do offer il ss q true
one.
This is certainly concise enough
and simple enough. If you are poor
and are still moved by q desire to be
happy, get rich. 1t is singular that
you never thought of that before. But
if you are persistently determined to
be poor, there is nothing that will
contribute so much to your happiness
as a graceful sdsptabllity to ones
circumstances" II, in your folly, you
insist upon remaining poor, and your
stomach is not supplied with sufi-
Gent food, buckle your belt a little
tighter, adapt yourselves to the "cir-
You perceive that I0is
the simplest thing in the world when
you once know how it is done.

Why We Should Control the Nicaragua
Canal.

In war or in peace the exclusiv,
control of this canal will be to us o
inestimable value. For attacking OF
defending the coasts of our hemis
phere, and the islands adjacent there
to, it is more advantageously situated
than is Gibraltar for the Mediterranean
AS means Of uniting the East and
the West. it will be of more value than
is the Suez Canal for uniting England
with India. The latter saves but ,6oc
miles, while the Nicaragua Canal saves
$500 in the voyage from the Gulf ports
to San Francisco.
II we are to continue our policy OF
protecting the smaller states of the
two Americas against the larger ones,
and all of them against foreign en-.
croachment, we must control the can
al. We must also defend our own
country. Our Pacific coast is nearly
defenceless. From New York to San
Francisco it is rs,coo miles by water
half the circumference Of the globe.
Between the same points by the canal
it is only 5000 miles. From New
Orleans to San Francisco it is 1880
miles. The canal will cut this dis
tance down to 1000 miles, still
greater saving. Now England can
hurl a fleet against our western ports
by way Of the Suez Canal or from
Australia, while another feet, with a
base at home or at one of the numer-
Gus British stlongholds along our
eastern coast, is threatening the ports
on the Atlantic.
Not only in war, but also in COM
peting for the commerce of the world,
and especially of the western hemis.
phere, will the nation controlling the
Nicaragua Canal have an immense ad-
vantage. No trade will flourish unless
protected by the strong arm of mill
tary power, and no better example of
this can be cited than that OF England.
Where all the great nations of the
world meet in the canal, and the
nations through whose territory it runs
are so miserably weak, the inevitable
result will be that it will fall into the
hands of some great power. If that
power be not ourselves, then we may
safely bid farewell to military or com
mercial supremacy in America. The
golden moment is now here when pos
session is easy-Hdrper's Weekly.

WHITE LEAD WORKS IN AsBrs.

Philadelphia Visited by q Disastroua
Blaze.
PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-The Philadel-
phia whiting works, at No. 1900 East York
street, of which George w. Mackenzie Is
the sole proprietor, were totally destroyed
by fire yesterday, causing loss which is
estimated at $4,000.
The building was ous-story stone and
brick structure with large frame loft
used in the process OF manufacturing white
lead. Twenty men were employed in the
building, working night and day. The
night gang left for their homes. and when
the day force arrived the building was in
flames
The blaze was discovered By q private
watchman, who notified Officer Hoffman,
and an alarm was sounded, but on the ar
rival Of the engines the flames had made
such headway that nothing could be saved.
A strange feature in connection with the
fire, and one which points to incencisrism,
is the fact that the flames broke out in the
room in which the white lead is dried by
cold air
There was no stove or fire Of any kind In
this room when the night force left, and
Mr.. Mackenzie expressed the belief that the
place was deliberately set on fire.
The building. which Is owned BY z. A.
Jessup. was damaged to the extent OF
about IS, 900. The lses on the machinery
and stock is estimated at $S5, 900, on which
there il an insurance Of $25, 900.

Some Cuts that May DisturS Two Power
full Assccisttsss.
New YoRx, June lo--Thers has been .
big reduction Of freight rates ous q New
York to all Mississippi river poiets. This
may we'll be regarded as the first serious
menace to rates in the territory OF the
Trunk Line Association ane tina. Of the
Central Traffic Association.
The cuts made by the Southern and Cam
adian Pacific companies affect only Pacific
coast tranic and do not disturb the situs-
ton in tho east. The reductions made
were BY the kanawha Despatch and Sa-
vannah steamship line. They made clean
cut OF fifty per cent on dry goods and GER
tain other first-class products from this
city to the Mississippi river, which is the
junction point between the eastern and
western associations.
The Savannah lines rate is Sc cents per
100 pounds, the old rate being 72 cents.
The Kanawha Despatch, which runs over
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. went
one better and put in a rate of 81 cents.
The National Despatch. which is Grand
Trunk line, anticipated the low rates Of the
above mentioned companies By announcing
on Wednesday a rate Of so cents Its for
mer rate was 81.
The object is to reach points west of the
Mississippi river, so that the standard
rates of the western railroads have TO he
added to these reduced rates. From the
Mississippi river to Kansas City, for ex-
ample, the first-class rate is jj cents.
The same rate cutters have also reduced
the tariff on all cotton goods from the
mills. The National Despatch has put
into effect 33 cent rate between New
York and the Mississippi river, and its
competitors are shipping goods for %
cents
