HAPPINESS.


Many people go through life dissat
isfied and unhappy because they do no
have what their neighbors have. The,
allow themselves to be constantly net
tied by comparing themselves with 9th
ers better Off
Now, about as poor business as one
can engage in is to go through life with
ones eyes SO fixed upon what Others
have that he cannot enjoy his own.
Everywhere we see prosperous peo-
pie who are making great deal of
money, and yet they are dissatisfied
discontended, unhappy, restless. They
rove about from place to place, trying
to find pleasure in this thing or that,
but always disappointed. They think
II they could only get somewhere else
than where they are, do something else
tnan what they are doing. If they could
only go abroad, travel over different
countries in touring car or in an auto
mobile, they would be happy. Their
eyes are always focused upon some
thing In dreamland instead Of some
thing In the land Of reality.
They mistake the very nature of hap
ptness. They put the emphasis on the
wrong things.
Inc secret Of happiness is not in your
fortune, but in your heart. 1t does not
consist of having. but In being. 1t is
condition OF mind--Success Magazine.

CURRENT EVENTS.
Clipped from the Exchanges Which
Come to Our Table.
THOUGHTLESs WAR TALE

returned to the United States as the
ambassor from Japan, in discussing
the rumors OF war that have been
circulated during recent months
secuted, as was to be expected, the
possibility of trouble between the
United States and Japan. at is
impossible, in my opinion" he said,
"for any man of ordinary sanity to
think Of war between two powers
like ours, in view OF the sincere
friendship which SO long has actually
existed between them. To think of
it is crime against humanity,
against civilization, against the we'll.
being of the whole of mankind.
Such war, If ever fought, would be
the most inhuman event in the
worlds history. Our people, at least
do not think of the possibility of
such an unfortunate event."
Baron Takahira may be assured
that the people of America, along
with those CT his nation, do not
think of such an unfortunate event.
Those who talk about it do not take
the pains TO think. Fortunately
they have nothing to do with shap-
ing the policies of the government.
The idea of war has not the terrors
for an American that it has for the
citizens of weaker nations. The
unthinklng, fesling secure in the
strength of our new navy and count
ing on the almost unlimited resour-
ces OF the nation, likes to picture
what we would do to any enemy who
dared to tackle US. The chance OF
defeat seems SO small as to be
negligible quantity. The possibility
of hostilities seems as OF vital
Importance 10 the other side only,
and as affording to us merely
another opportunity to demonstrate
to the rest OF civilization what really
great world power we are.
Baron Takahira, shrewdly sus-
poets that the rumors have been
spread by yellow journals. A jap
anese traveller is seen taking snap
shot pictures. He probably has no
more to do with his government and
its plans than would an American
tourist who might be caught photo
the pyrmids Of Egypt.
But the yellow journal draws on it's
until many of its read
srs are sure that the unoffending
lap is spy carrying out part OF

If the same journal pub

From the Homiletie Review

One Of the most interesting and im-
portant questions concerning biblical sites
perpetually invites research and persist
emily evades solution. Where IS the
land of Ophr?" Dr. Karl Peters at a
recent public meeting In Berlin declared
emphatIcaIly that this famous biblical
region is located between the Zambesi
and Limpopo rivers. He told his German
audience how he had discovered many
shafts Of ancient gold mines, 800 temples.
fortificat0ns. and other ruins of Phoeni-
elan origin. DR.. Peters affirms that the
coins recently unearthed in Mashonaland
belong undoubtedly to the time Of King
Solomon. His opinion is that no other
part of Africa could have exported the
ivory, silver. and precious stones which
are recorded in the Bible as coming frc.9
Ophir
Against this theory. founded as IL un-
doubtedly is one very plausible evidence.
Bible students are still likely 10 main
tain. on the testimony Of Genesis K, %,
that Ophir was a section Of South Ara
bia. Here down 20 the time OF Ezekiel
the Phoenicians still landed to procure
gold and gems with which those famous
sailors and merchants Of the ancient
world traded in many countries distant
from their Syrian shores.
Many erUdite writer's have attempted to
identity Sofala, on the east coast Of At
rica with Ophir, while yet others have
located il in India. One Of the most
learned essays written on the subject is
from the pen Of Prof. Hommel, who
argued that the ancient land of gold was

KICKING ABOUT MONUMENTS.
"MayOr" Flanagan Says People
Think Horses Grave Is Marked.

Baltimore, Jan. 1.-Two of the three
granite monuments, each four feet
high. erected By the Typographical
Survey Commission in 1893 to mark the
extreme limits of the city. are causing
complaints from people on whose prop
erty they are to be located, according
10 report made to the commission by
Chief Engineer Shirley
The monument marking the north
east corner OF the city is on a portion
of the Lipps property on the Hartford
road, and is set in the center of one of
the lots shown on the plat sibdividing
this property. It's presence prevents
the use of the lot for building purposes.
and the owners OF the property want
the city either 20 buy the lot or re-
move the monument
The monument marking the north
west corner OF the city is located in the
rear OF the home of Mayor" Patrick
Flanagan. Mr. Flanagan was perfectly
satisfied 20 have the monument there
until people began inquiring: is that
a horse you've got buried on your
lot?' Then he made a complaint Mr..
Shirley said Mr.. Flanagan is willing TO
have the monument remain if the city
will clean IL ND, and the commission
authorized the Improvement.
The monument marking the south

a sKYSCRAPING RESTAURANT.
II Is Upon Ledge of the Towering
JunGfrau.

High on a ledge Of the Jungfrau Noun
tain. in Switzerland. 10. 400 feet above sea
level, is located one of the most novel
restaurants in the world. This mountain
is q favorite among tourists, and there
is no more welcome spot along its rocky
paths than the depot at Ice-Ocesu and
the little restaurant, wherein all the heat
ing and cooking is accomplished by cleo
tricity.
This dainty Alpine eating house viii ac-
commodate l20 guests and the electrical
kitchen equipment consists of score Of
novel electric heating devices. The hot
water reservoir will hold fifty-two gallons
of water The large electric oven has
four heaters, including necessary roast
ing and baking ovens. which can be regu-
lated with several degrees OF heat. The
main cover-plate Of the furnace is pro-
vided with an individual heating element
which produces sufficient heat to keep
completed dishes at the required tempera-
ture
a number Of individual cooking utensils
are also provided. There is an electric
kettle, holding about sixteen gallons. for
meats and soups; there are smaller ket-
ties. from half a gallon up to six gal
Ions, for cooking vegetables. sc. All Of
these cooking utensils can be connected
by means of plugs to the switchboard,
which is equipped with indicating lamps
and heat regulators. There are also a
number Of special electric devices for
boiling potatoes, making coffee, boiling
milk, &c The plates are warmed in an
electric plate warmer
The use of electricity in heating and
cooking at this restaurant is especially
advantageous, owing 10 the difficulties in
transporting fuel up the mountain. The
electric current is generated by water
power.
