Cultivate Small Pleasures.

| United Presbyterian.
"The people whom most dread as
guests" remarked a woman noted for
her generous hospitality, ':are those
who have no capacity fer small pleas-
ureS." Anyone who is accustomed to
entertain much VIII easily recognize
the class to which the speaker refelied.
They are the persons who are restless
unless something is continually ''going
on" as they express it. They cannot
enter the quiet enjoyments Of the fam
lily in which they are visiting. A
walk, with no special object in view,
is to them the tamest sort Q! recrea-
ton. They cannot understand anoth-
er's delight in finding g new flower !;
they wonder why you go out on the
yeranda to view a fine sunset; the ar
rival of new book-these are trihes
beneath their notice. II there are
children in the household, they pay no
attention to their little ambitions and
accomplishments. Mary's amateur
playing, or Johns crude attempts at
painting, have little interest to the
visitor who has no gift for finding
happiness in small pleasures. But to
find it thus enables people to grow old
gracefully, and in every way is gift
worth cuitivating.
Many OF us are grunl blers, but few
OF us use to the full the resources OF
happiness that are available. Happi-
ness depends upon the treatment O!
what we have and not OF what we have
not. Happiness is made and not
found. It comes from within and not
from without. The poet teaches us
that if we would after a certain age
find employment in life, we must be-
come again like little children, open
our hearts to the healing influences OF
nature and cease to despise simple
pleasures.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency Of medical science is
toward preventive measures The best
thought OF the world is being given to
the subject. It is easier and better to
prevent than 10 cure. 1t has been
demonstrated that pneum onia, one OF
the most dangerous diseases that nedi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use OF Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
results from cold or from an attack
OF Influenza (grip), and Ii has been oh
served that this remedy countaracts
any tendency Of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven that in many thousands OF
cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence CT
colds and grip in recent years, and can
be relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until 1t is suddenly discovered ihat
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take

as the cold is contracted. 1t always
