All clubs exist to make people co,
Portable and happy-they can have n.
other ratson sentre-but London has ,
new club which speciallzes in ham;
ness, 50 to speak. None but the ham,
can belong to It; none but those vho
seek happiness will be admitted a.
though members will be permitted IA
have q good cry" in order to realize
happiness. The idea Of such club
1t seems, was suggested by the splen.
did success Of Maeterlinck's charming
and beautiful poem-play, 'The Blus
Bird" This is delicious fantasy for
children and adults alike, and Il
teaches the truth that happiness lie,
near at hand, In ones home and I'm.
mediate surroundings, rather than in
distant. unrealizable plans and ambi,
lions. Those who deliberately and as.
6iduously seek happiness fail to find
1t, or find it only when, after many
disappointments and shattered illus.
ions, they return home-apparently
empty-handed. In other words, happi.
ness Is within us, dependent on our.
selves, our attitude toward life, our
sense Of beauty and peace and Sc.
renity. It may seem at first that the
moral of Maeterlinck's play bars the
seeking Of happiness in club as well
as in any other external, material
thing, but we must not be too logical
and too pedantic. There is no reason
why people with the genius for hap
piness should not flock together and
afford an example to those Of us who
worry and fret and take life too trag.
ically or business too gloomily. Letw
hope happiness clubs will multiply
and impress upon others the fact that
1t Is not necessary to be rich or ia
nous or exceptionally gifted in order
to be happy. The joy of life is for the
many, not for the few, If they will
but learn to take it. Nature, art, cul'
ture, philosophy, friendship, humanity
such things cannot be monopoliied'
and 1t is they that give true happiness

So many people suffer from sleep
iessness and other real or imaginary
affections OF what we call our nerves;
and so many who think they suffer
also think they find relief In GER
tain cycle Of hypnotic drugs, that the
permanent effect Of these drugs on
health is q matter Of even more popu-
lar than medical interest. The drugs
in question are derived from the by
products Of gas-making and oil re-
lining, coke burning and the like. Sci
ence has utilized these unpleasant
mineral smells as 1t has utilized the
animal smells of the packing houses.
These compounds are grouped together
for the chemist by the fact that they
approach the highly complex formulas
of organic chemistry and for the vul-
mr. world of apothecaries and patients
By the fact that the names Of most
Of. them end in al. They differ from
the opiates or narcotics formerly used
to produce sleep in their direct effect
upon the brain and nerves through the
circulation This effect Is produced
through an influence upon heart action
against excess of which medical men
warn patients and which observing
patients are able to detect. This eff
feet varies in different preparations
and In different patients, according to
their condition and susceptibility. all
the way from a slight depression Of
vitality to complete heart failure and
stoppage Of life. Some drugs seem to
anecs one person IN TINS way and some
another, but few persons are immune
to all OF them. It appears that medi-
cal men In the East are proceeding
from individual warnings in relation
to the use OF these drugs to an organ.
lied campaign against any resort to
them except on physicians order
and under his direction. They resem.
bic other remedies in the respect that
Injurious results follow their abuse
Whether these results are so uniform
and certain as to make 1t necessary to
pay doctors bill every time one
takes dose appears still to be mat
ter of dispute.

HOW ENGLAND GOT IN DEBT.
Was the Outcome Of ~ Year
struggle with France.

Was the Outcome Of ~ Years
struggle with France.
Toe Lloyd-George program OF pub
lic-finance, whose PRONUNCIATION year
ago precipitated the most remarkable
fiscal controversy in the history OF
modern England. was the logical out
come of q situation which has long
been In process Of development. Speak
ing broadly. says Frederic Austin Ogg
in the American Review OF Reviews,
1t was during England's twenty-five
year contest with republican France
and with Napoleon that the nation was
started upon the career of indebted
ness, public expenditure and augment
ed taxation which has led straight to
the fiscal complications Of the present
day.
The struggle with the French was
easily the costliest of all modern wars.
Upon 1t Great Britain expended the
sum of sS31, 500, 900 ($4,157. O00. 0O0)--
very much more than the aggregate
outlay of the nation upon all other
wars in which 1t has had q part since
the times Of Oliver Cromwell The
consequence was threefold. In the
first place the national debt. which in
1892 stood at G237. 100000, was aug
mented by upward of G622000, 900. In
the second place there was great
leap upward on the part Of the ordi-
nary recurring expenditures. After
1916 the army and navy called for an
outlay Of from three to four times the
amounts allocated to these services in
Pitts frugal budget prior to the war;
while the annual interest charge upon
the debt had come to be no less than
E32 100000 or upward Of twice the
total public expenditure for all pur-
poses in 1892. A third consequence Of
the war outlay was the piling up Of
taxation beyond all precedent, SO that
a yield Of Ell 200, 900 in 1892 had been
raised by 1915 to G74,5O0,0O0 And al
though after the restoration of peace
there was some remission of taxation,
so that by 1918 the yield had been re-
duced to s59,50O,OOO. far the larger
part of the burden imposed by the
costs of the French wars has been car
ried by the taxpayer Of the realm
from that day to this. But for interest
charges imposed by Camperdown and
Trafalgar and Waterloo. Mr.. Lloyd
George would have had ample means
q year ago for the paying Of pensions
to the aged and the building Of new
Dreadnoughts without the necessity Of
additional taxation at all.

Coral That Shocks.

On the coast of the West Indian islands a curious kind of coral is found, called "millepoca." This has a most extraordinary property which makes the people who know it very shy of handling it. The moment you pick up a piece a sort of electric thrill runs through you and an agonizing pain shoots through your jaws. You feel as if every tooth and every nerve and muscle connected with them was burning. The acute pain lasts gener- ally for about half an hour and slowly passes off. but the effects do not dis appear entirely for hours. The reason of this curious shock or poisoning is a mystery
