Happiness. from Troubles.

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the. company it loves. We
all have our troubles. and some of us
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation Of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when
wretched, but these we believe to be as
few in number as they are disagreeable
In association. The vast majority of
humans are formal and disposed, there
fore, in conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent of clouds (:
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind. colors the dis
position and makes a cripple Of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sciously the certainty of death. but
too little cognizance is taken of the
fact that the effect of mere apprehen-
sion, which is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George
Harvey, in North American Review.

been released and an apology made for
the insult to the flag.
1t Is said by the foreign Office that no

that the Japanese will resort to force
