HAPPINESS.

Quit trying to be happy. Happi-
ness Is a chimera, vain and idle
conceit, a fantastic solecism. The
best plan is to set for yourself GER
tain standard of misery and learn to
grin and bear it. Then, whatever
comes above that standard will be
happiness. Happiness, like beauty, is
merely comparative. If all onr wo-
men had fat noses like those of the
bellies of Africa we shoald find some
fat noses extremely beautiful and
other flat noses not at all presents
bic. "A lone widow with three chill
dren and one small bed required her
eldest boy to sleep on pile of straw
in the corner. One bitter night the
bowling wind coming through the
cracks kept blowing the straw away,
The little fellow shivered till blue
in the face. His hands. were nearly
frozen trying to hold the straw in
place. Finally the mother rose and
completely covering her son with
straw laid upon it an old door which
had beeu leaning against the other
wall. The wind then blew in vain,
and happy voice came from the
corner: "Mamma, it amt every boy
that's gotta door."--New York Press

STIRRING TRIP
GOLD COAST,
BARKENTlNE ENDS VOYAGE OF
THE OLD SCHOOL.

Met Strange Adventures While
Trading Among Twelve Small
Towns of Africa Before Her
Journey to South America for
GuanO for Baltimore.
After such a voyage as has ever
been the burden of the maritime
novelist, the Boston barkentine Ar
lington arrived last week at the wharf
OF the Woodbridge Orchilla Company,
z Commercial wharf, Baltimore, with
cargo of 775 tons of guano from
Orchilla, an island off the coast of
South America.
Since April 10, when the Airing
ton, in command of Capt. l.. g.
Pickett, left New York, the ship has
made voyage of 1900 miles and
met many adventures. That she is
a weatherly craft, commanded by a
sailory captain, with good seamen to
his hand, is shown by her excellent
condition after such q length of time
at sea.
When she left New York she was
loaded with general cargo, case oil
and lumber, for the Gold Coast of
South Africa on trading voyage of
the old school. She headed straight
for Axum, Africa, and then visited
II other ports, her captain and crew
meeting with many strange sdven-
lures and peoples in the out-of-the-
way places.
From Africa she was sent across
the ocean to Orchills, where she
loaded for Baltimore. Her return
passage was exceedingly prosperous.
She encountered smooth seas and
fine, fair winds from the south and
east, and reached the Capes II days
out, and Baltimore after 10 days.
Captain Pickett was the recipient of
many congratulations on the success
of his long voyage that took in many
dangerous coasts and partially I'M
known harbors, and sometimes land
ing without any harbor. Ga board
the Arlington are two African par
rots. They are owned by the cook
