Atmosphere of Happiness

From the London Spectat
Happiness is, we maintain, a good end
The only question is, How much sacrefice Is
it worth? Well, certainly not the sacrifice
of sincerity and certainly not the sacrifice
of others, but surely the sacrifice of the
habit Of mental laziness, which is onlv self
sacrifice. If by little trouble we can Gre
ate for ourselves sweet atmosphere in
which to live, we are surely doing nothing
of which we need be ashamed. After ali
no one breathes his own atmosphere alone,
others breathe 1t with him. If happiness is
cerely and give up all the MANY things
which we now do openly and exclusively fo
obtain it. If it is not, why should we NOT
pull ourselves together, give our attention to
the game and play up?

Oyster Bay-It has leaked out that the
Roosevelts breakfasted this morning, but
the utmost reticence is maintained as to
what they ate.
The President went out on horseback dur
ing the forenoon. A great crowd had coll
lected. Mr.. Roosevelt rode facing the
horses head. When the people saw this
they broke into cheers.
The Roosevelts' cook shopped in the city
today. She wore heliotrope de chine, with
a lace front and A small floral toque OF vio-
lets. She shook hands warmly with all the
press representatives, but asked to be ex-
cused from discussing politics at this time.
A COW belonging to President Roosevelt
broke out of her pasture just at noon and
was photographed in eighteen positions for
the New York papers before she could be

japanese Hotel Servants.
Hotel servants are male and female. Ho-
| tels for Europeans generally have men
housemaids as well as men walters and
call them all boys. AS morality in the
European sense does not exist in Japan
there are obvious difficulties in the way of
employing women servants in a country
where most of the globe-trotters are young
men.
The japanese room boy takes you under
his complete protection. If you are a man
he will commence by asking you if Won

simplest and cheapest form of living in
Japan The wife is also housekeeper cook
and housemaid. and is gentle and refined
and as pretty as the mans taste can choose
her. He only has to tell his room boy AT
his hotel that he wants a japanese wife,
and he can have an unlimited choice. Where
. divorce is so easy, there is no reason why
he should not marry her, but he seldom
takes the trouble, except in stories
The japanese regard the position of the
woman as perfectly respectable. The only
difference II makes in her marrying Japan

has saved her wages for a dowry, unless.

NOW We SHINE.
The Electric Lights are Turned
On in All Their Brilliancy.

Yesterday for the first time in the
history of Warren the electric
lights dazzled the eyes Of her citi-
zens. The lights were turned on
for a few moments in the forenoon,
just to acertain if they would shine,
and last night the plant was oper-
ated for few hours by way Of ex-
pertinent, affording to all who had
their lamps installed, an opportun
ity to behold the brilliancy of the
light. And everybody was pleased
with it's lustre. Soon we can say
goodbye to the dim, smoky, smell
ing kerosene lamps, and cease our
contributions to the Golfers of the
Standard Oil company.
Over one thousand lights have
already been subscribed for, which
if all used at once would tax the
plant almost up to it's limit. But it
is not likely that near all lights
will ever be used at the same time.
The council has wisely made provi-
sion for growth, and when it be
comes necessary another boiler and
dynamo can easily be added. The
plant has not yet been turned over
to the city by the contractors.

The Development of TranspOrta
ton on the Great Lakes.

The current issue of the SCIENTI-
FIG AMERICAN, which is devoted to
the subject Of Transportation on
Land and Sea, contains an article
| by Mr.. Waldon Fawcett, from
which the following extracts have
been taken:
''The commercial chronicle of the
United States records no more re-
markable evolution than the devel-
opment of transportation on the
Great Lakes, extending as it does
over little more than half a century,
yet characterized by series Of radi-
cal innovations in the types Of craft
employed.
Unfortunately, it has never been
found possible to accurately measure
the entire water-borne commerce of
the Great Lakes, but the statistics
compiled by the Uniied States Gov
eminent officials at the Sault Ste.
Marie Canal-the water gateway
connecting the Lakes Huron and
Superior, through which passes
perhaps half of the commerce of the
unsalted seas indicate how rapid
has been it's growth. In the year
1881 the total amount of freight
passing the Sault was 1857, 741
tons; in 1891 it was 1888, ,759 tons
and in 1901, the last calender year
for which statistics are available,
the aggregate was %, ,4O3, ,O65 tons.
In other words, the traffic in 1901
was more than three times that a
decade before and eighteen times
that score of years since.
Passenger travel on the Great
Lakes has also experienced remark
able growth. There are connecting
lines Of fast passenger steamers be-
tween the principal cities, such as
Buffalo and Cleveland, Buffalo anC
Detroit, Cleveland and Detroit, anC
Chicago and milwaukee, and also
there are in service exclusively
passenger steamers which make
regular. through trips between Buf
falo and Chicago. The Sault Ste
Marie statistics, which recorded
the passage through the canals dur
ing the season of 1901 of upward Q
10000 passengers, chronicle, Q

that the passenger steamers of tn,
