Happiness! Oh, how we want it. There
is not man, woman or child that is not
seeking for it, and asking the question
where can it be found?" In the pur-
suit of happiness men are running hither
and thither indulging in every form of
amusement and more often of vice, to
satisfy the cravings for it. 4
True, happiness is not to be found among
the feeting things of earth. for God never
put it into them, and nothing is of more
value than He intended. The will Of God
is the only thing in the universe. Earth,
air, and water alike are controlled by it.
Every law of body, mind, and spirit is but
an expression of that will. All creation
but man obeys that will, which causes the
only discordant note in creation. Hence,
out of harmony with the Divine will causes
the only unhappiness, and makes man the
only unhappy creature. God wants all of
US to be happy to enjoy this beautiful old
earth made for His creatures. And the
only way to do it is to put yourself in har-
mony with that will. Then will come the
peace and JOY that passeth all understand
ing to your heart and mind, and the earth
will seem fairer than ever before. This is
no phantasma, but a reality attested to in
every generation.-W. III. Morehouse.

OLD TOOLS FOUND IN MINE.

Implements Used Two Centuries Age
Discovered in Massachusetts.
A remarkable collection of nipple
ments used by miners in 1883 has
been discovered in a deserted shaft
OF the Sturbridge graphite mine at
Webster, Mass, ninety feet below
the surface.
The discovery includes a wooden
pump stock, twenty-five feet long and
almost intact; a section of chain for
merly weighing fifty pounds and now
tipping the scales at but five, and
some hammers Of ancient make.
More than this, it has become posi-
lively known that the Sturbridge
graphite mine was the first mine OF
any kind discovered and worked in
the United States.
The discovery was recently made by
c. b. and Francis Husbands of Phila
delphia, expert graphite men, who arc
now operating at the mine.
For something like 219 years these
implements have lain il ice-cold wa
ter deep in the ground, and, in the line
CT ancient tools, are probably more
valuable than any others in the coun
try.

Philadelphia men has developed the
facts, which first became known out.

Would Dam tire Hogs" Too


The Ozark Mountain (Mo.) News
tells story of an ex-kentucky colonel
of the quality folks" sort whom he
once met in western Kansas. 1.-THE
colonel was an enthusiast on the irri-
cation scheme that was sweeping over
Kansas at that time. He was SO posi-
tive in his theories and SO high-tem-
pered that few people cared to dis
agree with him. One day as he was
standing in front of the Office talk
ing with several friends, Pink Bar
clay, that lives over on Snake creek,
came along, and after shaking hands
around turned to the colonel and said:
Colonel, I've got forty acres Of land
lying close to Snake creek that want
to irrigate and l would like to ask
your advice about it. Very well, sab,
responded the colonel, My advice is
dam the creek. I did do that said
Pink, and cut ditch down across
the land, but I couldn't get rise
enough Then I would dam the
ditch, sah,' replied the colonel That's
just what I did do said Pink, but
the hogs rooted holes in the banks.
What would you do about that?
What would dor snorted the
colonel. I would dam the hogs, sab!

SUICIDE ON THE INCREASE.
Death Eczema to Have Few Terrors in
These DAYS,

Death Seema to Have Few Terrors in
These Days.
The mania for self-destruction is
On the increase.
Life certainly presents, In most
countries, many more agreeable fea-
lures than it did generation ago.
Yet the desire to abandon it increases
yearly. The total number of suicides
Is swelling enormously. Is it because
OF the greater prevalence of nervous
diseases?
An English alienist, Mr.. Styles, has
been at some pains to investigate this
subject, with wholly discouraging re-
suits. The story Of his discoveries may
best be expressed in figures.
Some forty years ago the average
number Of suicides was, in Sweden,
one to every $4,000 inhabitants; in
Russia, one to every $4,000 inhab-
ltants; in the United States, one to
every $1,000 inhabitants, and in the
great cities, like London and St.
petersburg, one to every Fl, 1000 inhab.
ltants. 1t is plain that we made a
dismal showing even then.
IN France, chosen for illustration
because It offers the most startling
revelations, Mr.. Styles found for every
100000 inhabitants, during the years
1S4l to 1845, 9 suicides; from 1916 to
1850, 10 suicides; from 1861 to 1870,
Ii suicides; from 1871 to 1875, Is sui
cides; from 1870 to 1880, II suicides;
In 1889, Fl suicides; in 1893, %, and in
1894, 26.
From 1926 to 1890, the proportion of
suicides in Belgium has augmented
" per cent; in Prussia, All per cent;
In Austria, 23S per cent; in Sweden
and Denmark, Y per cent, and 35 per
cent respectively, and in France, 81

Prayed For a Revival.

It is said that in certain town in New
York good many years ago there occurred
a great revival OF religion, the work T be,
inquiry was made, "Who is praying? This
work must be in answer to somebody's
prayers" 1t was afterwards learned that
two old church members, who lived one
mile apart, had made arrangements to
meet half way between them in piece of
thick bushes every evening at shutdown to
pray God to revive His work. Their pray
ers were answered, and one hundred and
fifty were added, during the months of
July, August and September, to the
church.
The Pentecostal revival did not begir
with preaching, but with prayer.

Pins-Pong Hard on Watches, and the
Nan Who Makes Pepairs Profits

Man Who Makes Repairs Profits.
Ping pong is a fine game" said a
jeWeler, who does a lot of repairing,
to New York Sun man. No outdoor
or indoor sport has ever given US SO
much to do. 1t is surprising how many
persons have broken their watches
since the game became a fad.
You see, people play the game with
out removing their coats or waist
coats. In the excitement they forget
about their watches, and the first
thing a man knows his timepiece
bounds out OF his pocket. Sometimes
1t strikes the table, but wherever it
does fall the watch is damaged
That is not al. A player may tie
his watch to his pocket, but still it
gets out of gear The constant jump
ing around and the swinging OF the
arms disturbs the works so the watch
has to be brought to us to De reGula-
ted.
Il have had as many women's watch
es as mems to repair. The women
are even more careless than the men.
Their watches dangle from their shirt
waists, and as a result the watch
jumps around like weathercock in a
gale of wind.
Surprising as it may seem, my in
come from repairing watches has al
most tripled since the craze for ping
pong began"
