happiness are not put in the way of
achieving it? For instance, is the fate
which is supposed to dispense Lappi.
ness asleep, or gone on a journey,
that it permits northern c%apitalistic
unholy love of money to combine with
southern parental greed for the tor
ture of children, in the process Of mill
money getting? If happiness be the de-
signed portion for humanity, then are
life's plans sadly out of joint, for the
most cunning of m%alevolent spirits
could not possibly devise greater vari-
ETY. or more decorating kinds of misery
than those which human beings in all
grades of society are made to expert
ence. Apart from the inevitable per-
sonal sorrows which affect all, how is
it possible for any but the very young
or the very selfish to be happy in a
world where the majority are miser-
able because of disease, little health,
dire poverty, incapacity, onerous la
Dor or cruel anxiety? Life as disci-
pine for Misunderstanding is an in
spring conception. Life as an abor-
tive happy hunting ground is al appal-
ling theory.

Some Of the Popular
Cures for Rheumatism.

American men of science have re-
turned to an old cure for rheumatism,
in the shape of bee stings. The scien-
tihc explanation is that a bee when
singing injects formic acid which is a
cure for rheumatism. What probably
happens is that the patient, after hav-
ing sat for some time on the beehive,
forgets all about the rheumatism.
1t is probably the long continuance
of damp weather which has inspired
so many newspaper correspondents to
give the world just now their notions
on cures for rheumatism. We referred
briefly the other day to the American
revival of cure by bee stings-a meas
ure heroic enough to please every ST.
mon Stylites in the world; and now
we are told in the press of a cure by
means of a mole's foot worn next to
the skin, suspended from the neck by
a silken cord so that it hangs a little
below the chest. In many jewelers.
shops one may see rings for rheum-
atism," it being a common faith
among even educated people that a
metal ring worn on the little finger of

the left hand is a cur infallible. But
of all these notions the most interest
ing and probably the most popular in
England is hat known by the name of
the potato cure, as the London Globe
says. 1t is said that if a person suf-
fering from rheumatism will carry a
potato about with him he will find
himself free from pain and distress.
1t is asserted that a potato carried in
the pocket of a rheumatic person will
speedily become as hard as a rock,
while in the keeping of a person free
from the complaint it remains in it's
ordinary condition. Therefore it would
appear as if the explanation of faith"
in this case does not apply-as it
would perhaps in the matter Of
charms. so far as we know, science
has no pronounced judgment on the
potato cure, but it would certainly be
interesting to obtain a scientific ex-
PLANTATION of the hardening of the po-
tato.

A Three Days Jag
On SuIphuric Acid.

Ex-Representative Morgan of Mis-
souri tells a good story about an old
topper in the state OF the muddy water.
When he first settled down to practice
the town boosted of a drug store run
by one of his friends. The store had
a soda fountain and back of this, with
the bottles of liquids otherwise medi-
cinal, was placed a bottle of whisky.
In the town was an octogenarian,
known as Uncle Billy. It was Uncle
Billy's habit to step into the drug
store every morning, pass behind the
counter, and help himself to a tum-
bier of whisky.
Good mornin'," he always said, and
Good mornin', Uncle Billy" every
body said to him. That was about all
that passed in a conversational way as
he made his regular morning call.
One morning Uncle Billy had made
his regular visit to the habitat of the
whisky bottle, and was just disappear
ing through the door when the drug
gist discovered that Uncle Billy had
drunk out of the wrong bottle. He
had taken his potion from a bottle of
sulphuric acid. Wen, the druggist was
almost panic-stricken. Uncle Billy
had gotten out of sight, meantime,
and the druggist closed the door of his
shop, and in fear and trembling sent
for his friend, the struggling young
lawyer who later represented the state
in congress. When told the situation

Lies Plans Seem
Sadly Out of Joint.

If, indeed, the intention was that
fife should mean happiness, how sad
has been the blunderingl For consid-
er, for one thing, the pitiful ignorance
which has resulted in such tragic suf-
fering to humanity. AS a matter of
fact, man has been cheated of his
birthright, supposing him entitled to
he ppiness, for has he not been com
pc led, unaided, TO wrestle with the
problem of fitting himself to his en-
vironment? Through long ages, by
sweat of brow, travail of spirit and
cnerous physical toll, he has struggled
to adjust himself to conditions into
which he was thrust. He found 40
paradise of happiness free to all. Life
is a perpetual struggle, not elysium,
says Vogue. Not only have millions
been the victims of hideous slavery,
but the whole race, from all time, has
suffered cruelty because of ignorance,
the most pathetic phase Of this suffer
ing being the unprecedented cruelty
and injustice which results from ig-
norant p~arentage. Can those who
claim happiness as a birthright explain
why sentient beings predestined for

caps . caIro RaIIroad.

Since the Boer war the road build
srs on the Cape to Cairo railroad have
been pushing it rapidly toward the
north. The road has been surveyed as
lar as Victoria Falls, the largest falls
IN the world, on the zambesi river.
The roadbed has been graded for
about a third of the distance between
Bulawayo and the zambesi, the rails
are being laid and it is expected that
late next year trains will be running to
Victoria Falls all the way from Cape
Town. 1.700 miles. Meanwhile q force
of surveyors is laying out the route
far north of the zambesi.
The most astonishing things are
done in Africa nowadays. and the
world will not be very much surprised
when it finds in a few yeare more that
this long railroad, extending from the
extreme south of Africa to the mouth
of the Nile, is a full-fledged reality.

Fortitude of Stephen.
Paul d. Moody, son of the evangel-
list, was a class deacon and a power
of righteousness in his class at Yale
1901. To his strength of character
were added companionable qualities
that made him very popular with his
fellows.
One day Paul was induced to get
into the exhilarating game of niger

upon him to pay the rigorous penalty
of the game, which consisted in
crouching against Alumni hall while
the other participants. fifty feet away
took three shots each at him with a
tennis ball. Great was the hope Of
the Philistines that a worldly, un-
deaconlike cry would burst from the
target at some singing hit, but none
came.
Il guess you swore under your
breath once or twice, anyway; now,
didn't you, Paul?" a fellow player
asked. when the ordeal was over.

Embarrassing Mistake Made by a
Visitor to Hayti.

Embarrassing Mistake Made by a
Visitor to Hayti.
That the character of the frequent
revolutions in Hayti tends decidedly
toward opera bouffe is attested by a
story which has gained currency in
the navy department during the last
week. It emanated from a man who
held, under one Of the mushroom gov
ernments of Hayti, the post Of admiral
of the Haytian navy, the same office
held by Admiral Kilick, who is re-
ported to have gone to the bottom
with his ship, the Crete-a-Pierrot
when it was sunk by the German gun
boat Panther.
The admiral was standing in the
doorway of a hotel in Port au Prince
in with another American,
who was familiar with Haytian Gus
toms.
Down the main street came a band
Of negroes. They were ignorant look
ing and seemed little inclined to
march ahead, but were forced along
against their wills by the persuasive
powers of long black whips in the
hands of brilliantly uniformed per
sons, evidently officers Of the Haytian
army.
"Who are those-conWcts?" asked
the admiral, turning to his friend.
The sriend appeared surprised, for
he had just finished talking of the row
olution reported to be raging outside
Port au Prince. why, no indeed,
they're not eonvicts." he replied.
