Bishop of London and His Romance

London, Aug. 2S.-America is about
to receive visit from a most inter
esting CT dracter in the person of the
bishop of London, Rev. DR.. A. F. w.
Ingram, who leaves England next
week to present to the old Burton
parish church at Williamsburg, Va,
the second oldest church in America.

THE QUESTION OF HAPPINESS.

What is Happiness. Is it Pleasure?
And if so, what is Pleasure? Aristo-
tie gave us definition of Pleasure,
or rather perhaps description, since
the logicians say that you cannot de-
fine an ultimate fact, which has not
been much improved upon. 1t is not,
however, psychological definitions
that need concern us, but rather that
question which occupied the English
Unitarian School seventy years ago,
whether the pleasures taken in the
aggregate as constituting Happiness
are TO be subjected to a qualitative as
well as a quantitative analysis. Shall
we measure them by the intensity by
which they are felt or by the fineness
and elevation of the feeling to which
they appeal? Is the satisfaction
which percles felt in watching the per-
Torrance of drama of Sophocles at
an Athenian festival greater or less
than the satisfaction which one Of
his slaves felt in draining a jar of

A PalatabIe Recipe

A dish that cannot fail to delight

This is Mexican concoction, called

for such dainties will find it a most
delectable mixture, To make it, Mr..
Leighton takes quart of boiled to-

ready been chopped fine. To these he
adds three tablespoonful of granulat-
ed sugar one tablespoonful of the pre-
pared ground Spanish pepper-a con-
diment that may be purchased at any
first class grocery store-and a little
salt The mixture is then permitted
to stew rather slowly for some twenty
or thirty minutes, when, if it seems
too dry, little water is added.

Most people picture central" as an
office in which a number of young

matter of fact, though, it is not posi-

two distinct requirements in operating
an exchange; the first has to do with
answering the calls of telephone users

second is concerned in calling other
telephone users connected with the

of the intricacy of the telephone plant,

whole for exchanges was within a few
thousands of s60,00O,0O leaving out

notes of his May song left as he undu-

as he tits there and stuffs his little

one sharp, insistent chuck he struts
shyly through the stubble or skuIks
