Women are too prone to accept I'M
necessary evils with a ready resigna-
don. while men have better UNDER
standing Of the art of happiness" said
Nine. Sarah Grand in a lecture on
The Art Of Happiness" recently.
ldleness. she said, is one of the worst
enemies of happiness, and among
women the desire to work is not so
common to be discouraged, the in
efectual life of many women being
one of the saddest features Of the pres
ent day. Nine. Grand strongly adj
vised parents to give their children,
sons and daughters alike. the opportu-
nifty to follow their instructive pro-
clivities in the way of life work, be-
cause there is Joy in congenial work
and congenial play.
The chances for happiness, she said,
outweigh the chances Of misery, every
function Of mind and body inclining
toward pleasure and to the avoidance
Of pain. Happiness is to be found in
the simpler modes of life, not in ex-
eitement, which is only it's imitation.
In all recipes for happiness goodness
must be the principal ingredient, the
pthers which go to form, a truly happy
life being fidelity in friendship, love
and marriage, affection between pa
rents and children, moral courage,
eourtesy and perfect sincerity.

MIXED BATHING OPPOSED.

A cry Of Indignation, says a foreign
correspondent. has been raised in the
eastern part Of Germany because the
administration Of the seaside resort
Zappot, near Danzig, intends to remove
the barriers that have hitherto sepa-
rated the sexes when bathing, and to
declare the beach a common bathing
place.
The plain East Germans, the yirtu-
cus agararians. who in summer time
crowd the gay Ostend and in winter
time the Riviera, say that such de-
cision is disgrace to the German
name: that the result will be the i'm
portation Of foreign corrupt morals
into that section Of the country, which
has hitherto justly been considered
most moral. This will be the second
resort IN Germany with a common
bathing place for the sexes, Heligo-
land being the first.

SOME SAMPLES OF MEANYFss-

Several years ago when the Pitts
burgs had the reputation all over the
circuit for not being the fairest expon-
ents Of the game Of baseball as it was
written, they turned many a trick
away from the green diamond that
never was brought home to any par
ticular player, nor even was punished,
says "Taggarts' Tines One of the
members of that old aggregation con-
fessed that umpires were the particu-
lar prey of the old crowd-umpires
who had not given the team what it
thought was coming to it. Zone way
of getting even with the umpires that
did not please us was most amusing"
said this player. "Umpires, you know,
leave their uniforms in dressing
room at the park when they are ofici-
ating in a city. Well, when an UNI
pire whom we disliked came along we
would get some strong liniment and
pour 1T in those portions Of the uni
form that would be most likely to be
rubbed when the umpire was In ac-
ton. When the liniment lot In its

A POST OF VAST POWER.
Grave Responsibility That Rests with

Grave Responsibility That Rests with
the British Foreign Office.
The man who keeps the British en-
pire in line with the rest of the civil
liked nations stands paramount among
the worlds statesmen. On him, more
than any other man, perhaps, depends
the peace of millions. In his keeping
are the interests of one-quarter Of the
human race. No empire has so many
vulnerable points as his; no mans
acts SO nearly affect the empires safe
ty. The words he speaks, the things
he does, may rebound for good or evil
long after he has gone and his name
is forgotten. 1t is, indeed, hardly an
sxaggeration to say that the British
foreign Office is the guardian Of the
peace of the world. An indiscreet
word, careless act, and there is not
corner of the earth, however re-
mote, where some powder magazine
might not explode. It is not a thing
to be lightly talked Of, this guiding
Of the great British machine, which
may set every fourth man in the world
at war against his three neighbors.

THE SAILORS, TERROR.
Navigators Dread Not Wind and Waves,
but 1plosions

but Expl osions.
Boiler explosions are the terror of
the sea-faring man." said an old-tinle
deep-water captain. "Such a thing is
bad enough on dry land, but imagine a
catastrophe of that kind at sea! In
SO cases out of 100 it means the abso-
lutte wiping out Of the craft itself and
every soul on board.
'"The average landsman would be
greatly shocked in looking over the
maritime records to see how many
vessels disappear each year and leave
absolutely no clue to their fate. They
run well up to the 100 mark, and such
a mystery is not to be explained away
by storms. A Chinese typhoon may
swoop down like lightning out of a
clear sky and tear a ship to pieces,
but some floating wreckage Is sure
to tell the tale. A boiler explosion, on
the contrary, will blow hole as big
as railroad tunnel right through the
center of the hull. and the stricken
vessel simply goes down like shot.
There is no time to unfasten a boat
from the davits or cut loose a spar.
I'm the opinion Of seamen, this is
the story of at least 80 per cent Of the
ships that leave port and are never
heard Of again. Luckily, the modern
system of marine boiler inspection is
extremely strict and thorough, but it
is impossible to absolutely prevent
carelessness and fraud, and often
enough, no doubt. the fault lies with
the engineer.
There is an old story OF drunken
Scotchman who mistook the thermom-
eter for the steam gauge and 'cussed
out the stokers because he couldn't
get the pressure above so. That yarn
will hardly hold water, but I've seen
cases almost as bad. I am glad to say,
however, that during the past ten
years there has been a steady diminu-
ton in the number of vessels which
mysteriously disappear That is due,
beyond all question, to the increased
stringency Of boiler inspection, and
the greater strictness of examinations
before a license is issued to engineers.
Nevertheless. there is still consider
able room for improvement in both
branches"

been one of the staunchest supporters
Of the game. He has contributed ar

has also published newspapers devoted
to baseball, besides editing a number
of handbooks on baseball, cricket, la
