A correspondent asks: "What do
you regard as the happiest ago?" Hap
piness as we understand it, is both
cumulative and qualitative. It is al
so comparative. The youthful live
largely in the future, imagining they
will find happiness there, while the
aged live in the past, recalling happy
days gone by. The happiness Of the
dear old grandfather is in his young
est grandcEild, provided always that
the child is within reach. II the old
man be not grandfather his happi-
ness is in his "reminiscences.
Happiness is never today. It is al
ways yesterday or tomorrow 1t has
no present-only past and a future.
The happiness of the boy is the prom
Use Of manhood. The happiness of the
girl is her lover. The happiness of
the wife is he promise of motherhood,
that is, if she be the right kind of
wife. The happiness of man is sue
cess-always yet to be attained The
happiness of child is the hope of
doing as it pleases without fear of the
slipper or switch.
Happiness is the dream of some
thing long cherished thatw are going
to have, or the recollections of some
youthful accomplishment now entirely
impossible to us. Whether the boy
is happier than the man will always be
mooted question. There comes in
qualitative happiness. Unquestion-
ably the man has greater capacity
for enjoyment than the boy, and, on
the other hand, the limitation of the
boys field of knowledge brings in
comparative happiness.
There are 80 many artificial aids to
happiness in these days that we hest
tate to pronounce for any particular
age as the happiest. But the reaction
that follows sound thrashing at the
age of seven is worth living for. New
York Press.

It seems that one of the trades cycl-
ing has hurt the most, though the fact
has escaped much notice, is that of
the dog-fancier, remarks the New
York Post. The dogs have gone with
the horses, the toy pets as we'll as the
larger companions. Dealers complain
that all demand for their stock has
disappeared, and they blame nothing
but the bicycle. Their idea is that
the women who fondled terriers and
poodles when they had nothing else to
do are now never driven to the last
extremity, because the bicycle is never
exhausted and claims all time not
otherwise occupied; while the animals,
now that they no longer serve a
distinct purpose, are judged only
for the trouble they cause, and
altogether discarded. The larger dogs,
the dealers complain, suffer still more,
because the men who used to take
them on their walks, having aban-
doned walking for cycling, will not be
bothered with their former compan'
ions, and not only refuse to increase
the demand for these animals, but are
adding to the supply on the market by
getting rid of those they possess.
s'The livery men made up for their
losses by going into the bicycle
business" added the disconsolate dog
fancier who furnished the foregoing
facts and theories, "but we can't.
Raising and selling dogs is no more
like selling or renting bicycles than il
Is like making watches"

Those Born at Sea.

It is the common belief of English
sailors that all persons born at sea
legally belong to the parish of Step
ney, one of the most interesting of
the old London parishes. There was
an old ryhme which declared;
He who sails on the wide sea
Is a parishioner of Stepney.
This belief gained such ground that
in 1913 magistrate of the county of
Chester removed vagrant from the
parish of Stockport to Stepney on the
simple ground that the man was born
at sea, When the matter was con-
tested by the overseers of Stepney,
Lord Ellen thorough, the Judge, spoke
of the transfer as 50 great blunder on
the part of the magistrate" and the
man was sent back to Stockport, But
the opinion is still common among
sailors. 1t is supposed it is owing to
the fact that shipmasters used to make
return of births at sea to Stepney,
because it was the nearest landing
place to their anchorage. Household

THE WOMAN IN BLACK.

4ThFellng recently from OhlchBo 10
New York, found in the morning,
upon crawling out Of my berth, that
the train was standing stock still.
The porter told me it had been
standing thus for an hour aud a half,
while I had been sleeping the sleep Of
the just. dressed and peeped out,
and saw that we we're alongside the
platform Of country station. took
a good breakfast in the dining car,
and then went out to stroll up and
down the platform.
In the cab sat the driver, or engi-
neer as they call him, alone, waiting.
With the natural fondness OF an Eng
lishman for machinery, I stopped and
gossiped with him a moment about
the engine.
Then 1 offered him a cigar, which
he took with thanks, and asked me to
come in. I swung myself into his
cab.
The engineer, a bright, pleasant
faced man, about 40 years old, ex-
planned to me the uses of the numer-
GUS valves and levers about him. They
we're all as bright and shining as
polish could make them, for an en-
gineer is as proud of his engine as
any housekeeper is of the neatness of
her dwelling. glanced at the two
shining steam gauges with the clock
between them, and then I noticed
what seemed to be an ordinary white
moth, mounted in gilt frame, hang
ing against the wall of the cab.
SIS that for an ornament" asked,
pointing at the moth.
The driver smiled. "Well, partly
for an ornament" he said, "but a
good deal more for sentiment. I put
that moth there because it saved my
life, and the lives of $50 people as
we'll. "
Chow in the world could an insect
save human liyes?" asked.
"Well, 1 will tell you if you want to
hear the story. I reckon there's time
enough before we are able to get out
of this"
~ settled myself in the absent
stoker's seat and prepared to listen. "
cit wasn't such a long time back, "
said the engineer, "only a year ago

"We were timed to leave NJ

On the night when the thing took

had been raging since early evening,
and was at the height Of its fury wher
I started from the engine shed.
cit was about midnight and the
wind seemed to sweep clear round nnt
through the building. 1t was terribly
dismal. Jim was there, and the en-
CINE was all ready, so, after getting
my working clothes on, I ran the en-.
CINE down to the station. Our train

A new law in Germany aims at gov
eminent control of stock and produce
exchanges, for the protection of inves-
tors and to put a stop to gambling in
products of the soil. Only the stocks
and bonds OF concerns receiving the
approval of the government officials,
after rigid inspection, will be admitted
TO the stock exchanges, explains the
American Agriculturist. This prob
ably will shut out American specula-
tive securities. The law also embod-
les the leading features OF the Hatch
anti-option bill, rejected by the con-
gress of the United States 1t re-
quires traders or spectators in time
contracts, as on the produce exchanges,
to be registered and to pay a fee of
$50 the first year and about Sc for
each subsequent year. And the Bun
desrath or confederate council is en-
powered to forbid all trading in time
contracts in certain goods and stocks.
This new law is especially interesting
because it is a concession to the farm
ers, and a socialistic measure adopted
by monarchy which deals severely
with socialists
