Happiness.

It is the easiest thing in the world to be happy if men and women could only think so. Happiness is only an- other name for love; for where love ex- ists in household there happiness al- so must exist, even though it ha ov- erty for it's close companion. h nere love exists not, even though it be in a palace, happiness can never come. He was a cold and selfish being who originated the saying that When pow erty comes in at the door love flies out at the window and his assertion proves conclusively that he had no knowledge of love, for, unquestion- ably, the reverse of the axiom quoted is nearer the truth. When poverty comes in at the door, love, true love, is more than ever/inclined to tarry and do battle with the enemy. Let those who imagine themselves miserable, be- fore they find fault with their sur roundings, search in their hearts for the cause. A few kind words or little forbearance will often open the way to flood of sunshine in house darkened by the clouds of discord and dissensior -DAtroit Free Press.

CREWS WERE OUT TO-DAY.
Taking Advantage of Fine Weather
 And Smooth Water.

Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, New London, June 10.-All three crews were out early this morning to take advantage of the splendid weather and smooth water. The crews went up the river about mile, where they turned about and rowed down stream for nearly three quarters of a mile. The freshmen crew succeeded in hanging on to the Varsity, the latter crew not showing very good form this morning. The freshman boat did not ride as even as usual to-day owing to the absence of Stubbs, who sprained his foot. He will not be able to re. sume his seat in the boat for a few days. His place was taken by Pitzi. pie and Merrill went to bow. A change was made in the Varsity line up this morning. Ackley, who has been rowing 2 in the four oar boat, was placed in the same position in the eight. The present lineup of the Varsity is as follows: Waterman, bow; Ackley, 2; Johnson, 3; Bogue, 4; Mitchell, 5; Kunzig, 6; Blagden, q; Cameron, 8; Chittenden, coxswain.

DEFICIENCY IN RAIN.
Austria's Prospects are Regarded as
 Very Unfayorable.

Very Unfayorable.
 London, June 10.-The Mark Lane Express in its weekly review to-day says:
 Owing to the deficiency in rain English hay, inevitably, will be consid- |erably below the average, and dry food stuffs, such as oats and maise, will have good sale long before this time next year.
 Tt may be added that with foreign wheat we are not at all overstocked. The official report shows the French wheat crop is better than anticipated, so if the week end markets are de- pressed, it is only through large, coin- cident import requirements in England. France and Germany that large sur plus, both in America and Russia, could be adequately balanced. The present outlook is that there will be laroe deficiency both in England and Ger many and large surplyus in the Unit ed States and Russia. Therefore, France seems to hold the scale, and confirmation of the present news is awaited with interest.
 s'The spread of Rust in Hungary is serious. Unless, it rains soon the crops will be gracely injured.
 "Austria's prospects are regarded as very unfavorable. and the agricultural affairs of the dual monarchy should be watched attentively, for the deteriora- tion of French and Austrian Hungarian trade, alter the balance of power and CA Ll- a. markets from the buyer to the seller"

RIvETERS AT WORK.
Constitution is Being Rapidly Put in
 Condton Once More.

oonotiIutioA iS DcluS hdpiuly HuI III Condton Once More Bristol, K. l., June 1O.-As many r1veters as could conveniently work without getting in one another's way began operations this morning at the Herreshoff's works, riveting the plates which are to replace the buckled sec ton of the Constitutions mainmast The steel w0rkers, a few minutes after the plant opened, were energetically hammering away with a diligence which promised we'll for rapid compile ton of the work. 1t is generally un- derstood that when the Constitution again is rigged she will have a strong CT mast and be better fitted in every particular than she originally was
 The repairs to the fittings at the masthead were so we'll in hand to-day that some of the steel wire stays re- moved for convenience at the time the mast was unstepped have been re- placed.
 The half dozen sailors who are keeping ship on the Constitution are chahng under the delay, as they realize that When the boat is reftting the turning up process will have to be gone over again. This means very ex- hauSting work on stays and shrouds during the first sail spin.
 In one particular it is believed that the accident to the Constitutions mast will prove somewhat of a benefit. as various parts to be used in the repairs will be duplicated so as to be ready for use in case of future accidents.
 This was the purpose of the build CTS in constructing another steel mast for the yacht but the accident came too quickly for them. as it was found that the old one could be repaired be- fore the one could be completed.

Thousands Upon Thousands Anxious

Thousands Upon Thousands Anxious
 to Ride on the First Trip.
 Boston, June 1O.-The line of the Boston Elevated railway company from Dudley street, Roxbury, to Sulli- van square, Charlestown, nearly six miles in length, was opened to-day to the public. The management found themselves face to face with the prob lem of handling nearly 25,000 passen- gers at each terminus. The work was attended with some delay. but aster the crush of the early morning hours traffic assumed it's usual proportions and the cars were run on schedule time.
 For weeks the thousands who ride to and fro between Boston and the suburbs have been watching the pro- gross of the Workmen on the elevated and not only those whom necessity compelled to do so, but others prompt ed by desire to ride on the cars on the opening day, contributed their presence to the crush winch, for the time being, threatened to paralyze the system.
 The first trains were scheduled to start at 5:3O o'clock a. m from each terminus. Even at that hour there was large number of passengers on hand to make the first. trip. From that time the crowd increased, and by o'clock the platforms at the terminals were packed with a surging multitude, Which large squads of police could scarcely keep in control, and the in- termediate stations were also throng- ed
 The presence of the crowd prompted the ofnc1als to take unusual care in moving the trains, and as the passen- gers were unfamiliar with the method of the new system, delay resulted. and and many persons found themselves from 20 to 40 minutes late in reaching the city. It is estimated that between 5:3O and 9 o'clock this forenoon more than 5S,OOO passengers were handled.
