IL the city business man has a traco
OF the love Of nature, one might almost
say OF natural feeling, left in him, il
VIII give him Il Lomesick emotion to read
III The Cosmopolitan Frank Mor3an's
paper ON Getting and Spending" A
certain city man had worked SO hard day
II night getting rich that it gave him
nervous prostration. He was in q fair
way TO become very rich, but the nery-
Gus prostratiUn knocked out both him
self and his future prospects.
The family were obliged to give n
their horses and carriages, their fash.
ionable city house. They sold their old
home with its heavy and costly furni-
ture. Then they took a low, old fash
toned house upon a side street of a New
England village. The price they paid
for it was $50 small that it seen.d al
most Il JOKE" yet it had a porch, lilac
bushes growing at the side and nearly
all acre of ground about it.
The family bad money enough left
to keep them comfortably III the New
England village, and there they first
learned to know the fullness of life ana
to revel i'll life. The man who had nerv-
u prostration remem bered what q
thrill of delight il always gave him to
play truant i'll his boyhood, and he
found that this living in the New Eng
land village vas lie playing truant the
year around. He became strong and
we'll and happy. He pitied the nervous,
anxious looking city men, devoured by
the monster that impels them on to
make money, do ething but make mon
ey all their days. by aud by, when they
are wrecks, they faye more money than
they need. and IL ,ir families run into
vulgar show and 'xtravagance,
The man of tue story long since re-
severed from Iervous prostration, but
he still lives i'll the low, old fashioned
house and will 81 live. He wishes other
men could know ho.7 much real happi-
ness there is in <ach existence. Hesays:
We are young, bel 10 advance toward our
greater achievcmer to we have only 10 occupy
and distract ourselves less with needless toi,
or with expensive toys and TO learn that ths
true delights Of life1ie rather i'll The joys OF
the heart and the pleasures of the mind. Thes.
joys and pleasures best ripen in the home.
That should have the air Of simplicity and the
stamp of our Individuality about it and should
not be SO fine Us only TO express our uphol-
sterer's and cabinet makers ideas.
There in the central hall. or in the room the
family most frequent, write on the northern
wall The word Truth, the stern but necessary
virtue. On the south write the word Beauty,
and dream Of all it means in love and art and
nature. On the west write Sweetness, and let
IL mild influence lie diffused Us sof,ly as tie
Dlors of SUNSET illumire the earth and sea and
sky. On The cast wall write Light, and let i
enter. And, possessing truth and beauty
swec; ness and light, dig health and content
ment ont of thine own garden.

why oonsulates Are popplar.

1t is well known that the pressure fer
cohsulltes Is greater than for any other
e-ass CT offices. Various causes contrib
ute to this desire to go abroad. Repre-
sentative Hit thinks he has the true
theory. ut is the women folks" he
says. You krow low it is. Brown CT
Jones or Smith, when be has means
Il leisure, lilcs to take his family
abroad. When they come back, his wife
and daughters are filled with their ex
periences. The whole town is fired with
emulation.
Now, John Jones may not have the
means to take his family to Europe,
but he has influence i'll politics. When
the political wheel turns and his party
is up, he locks around to see what the
reward for his services shall be. Left to
himself, he would probably be content
with the postotfice. But his wife and
daughters have had to listen to what
the Brown women or the Smith women
say of life abroad, and, womenlike,
they have listened with envy and with
a fixed purpose some day to enjoy those
experiences for themselves. So, instead
of letting John Jones ask for the post
office, they insist that he must be a con
sui somewhere. Their ideas may be a
little indefinite about the nature and
duties Of a consul's Office, but they
know it means going abroad, and that
Is enough for them.
So John Jones makes out his applica-
ton to be consul general to Paris and
writes his congressman that, while
Paris is his first choice, he will take
something equally good, but it must be
abroad. And thus. says Representative
Hit, ARE the lives of congressman
made a burden for the first six months
after a new administration comes into
power. By that time the copsulates are
all disposed of, aud the disappointed
applicants can return to the postofices.

London does its lionizing in such a
very original fashion that there is no
telling in advance whether a visitor
will be ignored or taken up" We
make a tremendous fuss over some sec
ond rate celebrity who excels only in
blowing his OWL trumpet, while the
real empire makers are sometimes al
lowed to como and go unnoticed. Fo
solid and we'll planned progress achieved
with the most limited there
has been nothing since the days Of Give
to beat that of the Niger company. The
last little campaign against the Fou-
lahs virtually decided the question of
supremacy over a population estimated
at s 5000, 900 or $1,000, 600 of the most
warlike of African natives and a coun-
try Of immense potentialities. The vic
tory was achieved ty a few hundreds
CT black troops led by a handful of Eng
lish officers. 1t was as significant in its
way as Plassey, but when the organizer
cf victory, Sir George Goldie, reached
London ii few lines in small type on an
inside page Of The Times were all that
he got. We do no regret this. Neither,
we are sure, does Sir George Goldie. 1t
