Well as Hideously Ugly.
At the two extremes OF the Amer
lean continent dwell the most wretch
ed races of beings-the EskiISps at the
north and the Fuegians at the south.
or the two the Fuesians appear To be
the lowest I'm the civilized scale, their
general aspect being wretched and de-
graded.
Their hideOusly ugly faces express
the grossest stupidity. and their per-
sons are both stunted and mlsshapen.
The average height of the men does
not exceed I'VE feet two inches. that
of the women four feet eight inches.
and owing TO their habit of standing
in Il STOPPING attitude they look even
less than their actual height.
But, although they are veritable pyg-

appearance Is such as might result from
lacking on to the trunk of n giant the
arms and legs of child.
Their color appears To be n copper

with smoke II is difficult 20 specify
their precise hue. The very young
children are light brown In color with
the exception of the palms of the
hands and the soles OF the feet. which
are OF II dirty yellow.
The heads Of the adults are covered
with coarse black hair which falls In
lank masses to the neck behind and
on each side Of the face. but is cut
away from before the eyes.
The forehead is low and retreating,
the nose broad. fiat and furnished with
immense nostrils. and the mouth Is
very wide, with thick, protruding lips,
the upper one being very much elon-
gated.
The eyes are small and placed some
what obliquely. the iris Is invariably
black i'm color. and the white Of the
eye has distinctly yellOwish tinge.
Moreover, owing apparently to the irri.
tation produced 10y the smoke Of the
fires over which they are SO constant
ly crouching. they are very. generally
blear eyed.
The teeth, although very much dis
colorcd. are. as II rule. regular and
sound. The men have naturally only
n few black bristlcs scattered over the
upper lip and chin. These. however.
are carefully extracted from time TO
time by means of two musscl shells
and very frequently the hair of the
eyebrows is removed 10y similar

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
by EDWIN A. NYR.

Those rare philosopher-patriots who
made the Declaration of Independence
enumerated among the inaliena BILE
rights Of man life. liberty and
THE pursuit OF happiness"
- Note the language--"the pursuit OF
happiness" What a pursuit: Men
everywhere and always have been
seeking for happiness and sweating
for 1t and scheming and dying for IT,
And few are those who tifid it..
Why?
Because happiness is not something
you may discover. like gold mine. 1t
Is something you cannot dig up or
steal or corner or beg or borrow You
do not find IT. 1t finds you. That is
why mere pleasure seekers" are of
all men most miserable.
Happiness is incidental
1t is a sort of human byproduct.
You find it only when you are looking
for other things. 1t is n free gift that
nature gives when you least expect it.
but always-always-it is given to you
for behaving yourself.
BE good and you'll be happy"
The phrase has gone into the slang
language and is quoted often in Gym
icism, but it formulates the philosophy
OF happiness just the same. You can
not be bad and be happy. But II you
are good you may be happy.
For instance. you cannot be selfish
and be happy. And that is where
most of us miss it. You cannot be
proud and be happy. You Will be left
alone with your pride. You cannot be
happy by trying TO be happy.
How, then?
Why. Nature is kind, after ALL You
cannot beg. buy. coax or force happi-
ness from her. she will turn a deaf
earSto your plants and threats. But
She may grant your wish. say. i'm
your-daily work or in your service for
others.
You were made for work
Old Mother Nature. who knows you.
who made you and who some day will
unmake you. lets you lose yourself in
,he~joy of working, and ere you are
aware happiness steals over you. Wise
old mother, She gives when we least
expect.
You We're made for service also.
And in doing for others Nature re-
serves her best pay. Call It what you
will. reflex action or what not. this is
the wise experience OF the race. ham
mered- through the centuries
Forget1yourself. seek TO make happy
some fellow scul. and that coy maid.
en- Happiness. who erstwhilp turned
her back on your ardent wooing. will
pause awhile and sweetly smile on
you.
An old philosophy? AS old as the
hillS--and AZ sianch.
Old and simple. and yet narrow is
the way. and few there be that find it, .

lied TO A POST

A pathetic picture of mans inhu-
manity to babes is that OF the Door.
half idiotic boy OF eight years who
was tied to stake every day in the
yard OF poor farm in New Jersey.
The newspapers got hold Of the sto-
ry. and the brutal practice was
stopped.
1t came out that the little fellow was
accustomed TO tie himself to the post.
He had been "staked out" like a
horse. for so long that he had come to
believe 1t was necessary part of his
life. so that he would rush to the post
and put the rope around himself.
The poor child was sadly demcnted.
OF course. and for that reason was en-
titled to particular care and attention
and to the sympathy that society ex-
tends to the unfortunate.
